"Someone Else's Story" (from Chess) - Instrumental / Karaoke Backing Track

An instrumental track with accompanying lyrics of "Someone Else's Story" (album version) from the Broadway version of Chess, music written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, lyrics by Tim Rice, book by Richard Nelson. Trevor Nunn directed the original production, which starred Judy Kuhn, David Carroll, and Philip Casnoff. The music was orchestrated by Anders Eljas.

Something a little bit different for the channel--I noticed while remastering the last Bway track that the album version of "Someone Else's Story" actually differs from the original score, with the key change going to Ab major in the end, instead of G major as in the score. I wanted to create a track that reflected this change, as well as adding the prominent synth line created for the OBC and used in several subsequent recordings. As this is its own video not designed as part of the ongoing backing tracks, I decided to polish the video a little bit and add the lyrics onscreen. Enjoy.
