"Don't wish, don't start Wishing only wounds the heart" Of all the feelings this song elicits, these two lines tear me apart because of the truth in them.
When I was young this song didn’t exist yet. For me - it was On My Own on my tape deck. Later - it was this - a musical dear to my heart: ua-cam.com/video/I5JmKECFjIw/v-deo.html
This guy absolutely crushed it - and yes, every gay guy feels like this at some point (I know I have). Luckily music can also be the antidote to this kind of feeling... "Make your own kind of music" Mamma Cass Eliot - always brings me back to centre. Love to all x
Wicked just coming out led me here. You have a beautiful voice and it's nice to hear a male rendition of this. I hope you're still singing being that this was posted two years ago.
I know how this song feels, too. I appreciate you and that you allowed yourself to “go there” in tapping into the ache of not being that girl. Beautifully felt and sung.
Steffan... Props to you for letting yourself be vulnerable and breaking down that wall and going all in. Marvelous engagement, beautiful voice... Everything I love about what you continue to do. Bravissimo!
Wicked is one of my absolute favourite musicals and I absolutely love this song but I don’t think I’ve ever had such an emotional connection to this song when sung by anybody else!!! Such a beautifully moving performance! Diolch!!
True talent is a gift. Your voice, your smile, your delivery, your truth is an inspiration to anyone who gets to be a witness to your beautiful soul. How lucky that this platform allows us the privilege to know you through the magic of music. Thank you.
I've seen Wicked four times and listened to countless versions of this song, but none have ever moved me as much as this. It's incredibly difficult to sing and act brilliantly at the same time, but you make it look easy. Utterly relatable and completely beautiful.
Wow! DUDE!! Perfection as ever but OMG! You even got my eyes blurry with this! The best thing about this particular song is that its power comes from its simplicity. No bells, no whistles, just a simple melody & extremely powerful emotions! Well done Sir!
Incredible. I only saw Wicked for the first time in March 2024 and this song has haunted me ever since. I can’t stop playing it, it resonates so profoundly. This guy captures the emotion INCREDIBLY well 🥺🥰🙏🏻
You are exquisite...there is a pain and a longing you invoke in your interpretation that hits my heart. You express what anyone who lives a life with any version of "green skin"; anyone outside the norm who feels like there is no hope for acceptance may feel. You wear your heart on your sleeve...It's a badge of honor, sir. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us again today ❤❤❤
What makes this version more heart breaking than Wicked has nothing to due with being gay. In wicked, when she sang this you KNEW they’d end up together, so it was hard to sympathize with her. But when he sings it you KNOW he won’t be with him and your heart shatters. He’s watching his true love fall in love with his polar opposite and it’s breaking him. This version makes me cry in a way wicked’s just couldn’t
I am coming late to the party Steffan , I just discovered you via a short of Suddenly Seymour. And then I found this. It’s late for this ancient tragedy queen, and I need to go to sleep…but I can’t stop watching this video. No words, except thank you.
So beautiful and so heart wrenching at the same time. I found myself starting to tear up seeing the emotion from you. I hope that was acting skill not actual heartbreak.
Steffan, Your OUTSTANDING videos aren't significant because the songs are beautiful or because the performances are exemplary. Your videos manage to touch the hearts of the listeners and enrich our lives by showing that beauty can be heard, and emotions can be heightened.
Music has a way of cutting past the barriers we construct to wall ourselves off from feeling. This song I can relate to on more areas than I care to admit, but I actually hadn't heard it before today. Thank you for another beautifully done piece of music that has made me feel. And Music that makes us feel is the best of all.
💚 Steffan I absolutely love this and love you! Sung with such compassion I felt every world, you have a beautiful soul. Thank you for the gift of you!! 💚
Beautifully done. When you smile it can brighten the day, but here your performance is very moving indeed, especially from 'wishing only wounds the heart'.
What a beautiful and touching performance! I saw Wicked in Broadway 3 years ago and thanks tou your videos, I'm rediscovering it again! Again, congrats for such a wonderful performance, you're gifted! Hugs from Spain

Every gay guy growing up has a version of this song in their head and heart. It was painful, exacting and beautiful. Love it.
This and "on my own" from les mis.
Both seem to hit on a very similar level. Very powerful when done right. Which this very much is.
So true. This song went through my head last week when I saw my crush with someone .
"Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart"

So beautiful and poignant. Every gay man’s lament. Thank you for making it real for us.
My heart is breaking for you Steffan, it's painful when we can't be that girl.
Wicked just coming out led me here. You have a beautiful voice and it's nice to hear a male rendition of this. I hope you're still singing being that this was posted two years ago.
I feel EVERY word under my skin. Tears running like a river. Georgous Steffan…wonderful ❤️🥰
An angel is what Stefan is.
this is absolutely wonderful. so present and raw, with such a beautiful voice too. brought tears to my eyes!
I have tears in my eyes. Beautiful.
I know how this song feels, too. I appreciate you and that you allowed yourself to “go there” in tapping into the ache of not being that girl. Beautifully felt and sung.

You are not that girl, but you're this man who always makes us FEEL the lyrics... Thanks for one more great experience :)
OMG Steffan. Every performance is magical. Thank you.
Wicked is one of my absolute favourite musicals and I absolutely love this song but I don’t think I’ve ever had such an emotional connection to this song when sung by anybody else!!! Such a beautifully moving performance! Diolch!!

Oh Stefan. Words fail. ✨🙏🏻✨
Sung so real and beautiful ,such feeling ,I think he’s so good, as well as handsome ,and I’m 78 years old ,deserves lots of fame …
Good god, this is breathtaking
This is such a great cover. Great work. Listening to this after seeing Cynthia Erivo slay this on the big screen.
well with Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, yes, you can now be that girl
Beautiful man and song.
Hey Steffan. You OK? You were either thinking of someone special OR you nailed "acting through song". I got slightly teary watching it.
This is absolutely the best performance of a song in a video that I have ever seen. Your vulnerability and feelings came through and made me cry.
Finally someone who can cover this delivering rvery low note with the exact amount of weight and pain.
So beautiful. I had goosebumps & teary throughout d song. I could listen to this 4 forever.
That voice, every time

Absolutely fabulous! You are amazing!
Beautifully done. You can feel the emotion.
This is deep, god I love his performance!
Even more cathartic than your priors...was that possible? Drew me in...total connection. Bravo.
I am coming late to the party Steffan , I just discovered you via a short of Suddenly Seymour. And then I found this. It’s late for this ancient tragedy queen, and I need to go to sleep…but I can’t stop watching this video. No words, except thank you.
that was so heart-wrenching.... (( hugs ))
His voice sounds like a voice of angel. Go on your good job. I like you smile very much. Shine for us.
Steffan, that was beautiful. You actually look like you're in pain. I just hope you know how amazing and loved you really are.
Oh I just want to hug you! However I'm five foot hardly anything and wouldn't reach. That was just beautiful. Your videos truly make my day :-)
Einfach nur wunderschön. Danke für diese tolle Interpretation. Ich konnte meine Tränen nicht zurückhalten.
That was beautiful Steffan!! So much emotion in your voice and on you face!!
Ahhh. So beautiful. Thank you again for sharing 💝
So beautiful and so heart wrenching at the same time. I found myself starting to tear up seeing the emotion from you. I hope that was acting skill not actual heartbreak.
🥰 Absolutely beautiful. Sending hugs across the Atlantic to an amazing performer and an incredible human being. (And that low "A" is like butter...)
