Channeling my inner Billy Joel, I wrote a song this week called "I Know Her So Well," which structurally sort of have the feel of something like "She's Got A Way."
Well, at least lyrically it does.
The title was inspired by an old Broadway tune (old as in the 1980s) called "I Know Him So Well," which came from the musical Chess. I had always wanted to write something called, "I Know Her So Well."
Musically, the song is slightly derivative of a Jamie Cullum tune called, "These Are The Days," which features the G-F-E chords to start the song.
I'm still having some issue with camera steadiness, and it's just a matter of cleaning out my studio area and giving the camera some breathing space to get that remedied.
And it's not exactly in my wheelhouse vocally, but it's merely a demo. Let me know what you think ...

Nice work - love the warmth of the piano, and can see it either being cut through by some sharp vocals or just being surrounded by warm ones, either way cool but a very different feeling song - but props for the Chess reference too. One of my favorite obscure musicals.
Which reminds me - did you ever see Nine? That was a musical with some unexpectedly good tunes as well.
