I’m working all day today 🤪
Trendy Carol’s hubby has the Welsh yet again 🩷
And with the Wicked sequel due out very soon ,
I thought I’d play you this song.
I saw Wicked The Musical in San Francisco and it was truly forgettable ,
But I did remember this one duet from the second half with some affection.
In the hospice this song features in many pre death organised funerals .
It’s often there to celebrate a certain relationship , invariably a friendship
That is treasured
And I remember one patient sharing with me that the phrase “ handprint on my heart” was so painfully appropriate to them that it brought tears to my eyes.
We all have that special person that was a force for good in our lives. Wicked’s strength is the chemistry between Elphaba and Galinda.and thats why this song has untouchable power about it
We can all reach out mentally and recognise that love
It’s a love that keeps us all going
I'd not heard this song before. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHope the shift passes quickly. Too hot to work! xx
I don't know anything about Wicked but I watched the video with subtitles on. The lyrics are quite lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love this song and it’s held special meaning to me in my life as well. What beautiful and powerful voices these two women have! My god, those harmonies.
ReplyDeleteI hope the day passes peacefully and not too unbearably hot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lyrics! Lovely harmonizing.
ReplyDeleteI hope the day goes well for you.
I am behind the times, I have not seen the movies, or heard the song. You do such important work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a touching song and I'd never heard it either, so thank you for posting it here today.
ReplyDeleteWishing you well at work today, strength when you need it, and, as always, leave your kind and gentle hand print on the hearts of those you care for.
Hugs!
I don't know the song at all, I shall have to look-up the lyrics. Haven't the two girls got very similar voices!
ReplyDeleteIt's become a song commonly sung at high school graduations here in the states. Recently, I saw a choir sing it as a surprise tribute to their beloved choir teacher who was retiring. The teacher was reduced to tears and many of us in the audience found ourselves crying too.
ReplyDeleteIt's so brief, this life.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeleteI thought the movie was terrific!
ReplyDeleteToo schmaltzy for me, sorry. I like my music to have bite. Sam Fender and Imagine Dragons, for a start.
ReplyDeleteI seem to be one of very few not enamored of this movie. Perhaps Elfaba will come back to life in a sequel.
