Matt Johnson breathes new life into “For Good” with a solo piano interpretation

The beginning of Matt Johnson’s “For Good“ is like a moment of hushed contemplation, where memory, gratitude, and emotion mingle. Johnson plays the beloved Stephen Schwartz song from the Broadway hit Wicked, and somehow it sounds even more emotional when he exclaims it on the piano.

“For Good“ has always had a tenderness that settles deep in you, and Johnson renders the familiar piece more personal. The emotional weight of the song is clearly apparent. Each note feels articulated, allowing the melody to open up in a direct space.

The piece is an instrumental from Johnson’s work for Singing Fingers and expresses a simplicity that showcases his capabilities as both performer and composer. Johnson’s use of the expressive power of only a piano invites you into an introspective sonic space. The result is an interpretation of “For Good“ that feels like a conversation with the music.

Johnson’s version doesn’t detract from the original brilliance of Stephen Schwartz’s work. Instead, it pays tribute to that grace and emotional depth that make the original a timeless favorite. His own performance makes the piece feel solitary and reflective, drawing out textures and emotions that might not have been otherwise perceived.

Johnson teases the song’s bright heart by using careful wording and restraint. The piano, which tells a story, takes the audience on waves of memories. “For Good“ is a great example of how potent simplicity can be, and it demonstrates that, at times, an instrument and a deeply felt performance are all you need to convey how beautiful a song is.
