As Long As You’re Mine (Commentary)

[Spoken]
I remember before being offered the role of Fiyero, listening to "As Long As You're Mine" on repeat, that has always been an anthem
A sexy, important, vital moment between two characters, and I've always responded to it
Fiyero is changed in that song
Has he made that decision before it, in the middle of it? What is it about this duet?
And I think when we started exploring that in the studio with Cynthia, and we sang it for the first time, um
Thеre's something incrediblе about the exchange from Cynthia to me because her ability to sit in her voice, which is heaven-sent
You can't not be truthful when you're singing, 'cause otherwise, you know, you constrict
She sort of gave me the ability to be able to sing out
It felt like we were sort of creating the emotional DNA of the film actually, in that duet
Everyone deserves to have someone tell them they love them and to kneel in front of them and to sing the lyrics with that sort of committed, full-bodied energy
I wish that for all of you
