One more thing to add about keys. Sometimes moving a song a half step changes its mood, making it sound darker or brighter.

To my ears and others I've had conversations with, depending on the song some keys just sound right and others wrong for that reason.

Others cannot hear the difference. I guess it's the way we are built. I don't have absolute pitch, but the people that I know that do have it almost unanimously agree.

So when learning a song, first we fit the vocal range and then tweak the key a bit so it sounds right to us (and hopefully the audience).
