Recording artists even change the keys of their own songs if it suits them, especially as they age.
After Blue Oyster Cult recorded "Don't Fear the Reaper," they immediately changed the key and have played it live that way ever since.
Paul McCartney recorded "When I'm 64" in a lower key than the key of the finished record (the tape was sped up by a lot), so what's the right key to perform it in? Especially when you haven't been 64 for quite a while?
