Lyrics

"You or Somebody Like You" was another song that, uh, many of these

Songs were written with Blair and Troy, Blair Daly and Troy Verges

And, uh, many of them were written in the same two or three day

Period, believe it or not. Uh, it was just a very prolific couple of

Days. I had this title kicking around for quite a long time, uh, and

It was kind of a blues title, a blues idea. It's nothing like what

What came out, uh, in the end result, but we wrote this sitting in

Hyde Park. I actually have a photograph of us writing it, uh, just

Sitting. It was a nice day in London and, uh, we were sitting, uh

In the park, uh, with an acoustic guitar that we were carrying around

London. And, uh, so, uh, it made the record, uh, my record

Obviously, and, uh, soon after that, Keith Urban heard it. It was

Actually one of a couple of songs that were, uh, one of two songs

On this record that were my first cuts in Nashville, my first songs

Recorded by other artists there. And, uh, it went on his record

I think it's, I can't remember, I think it's "Be Here." Anyway, uh

He recorded it and put it on his record, "You or Somebody Like You

" The song, which is very strange because he had just had a huge hit

With a song called "Somebody Like You," uh, which was, uh, the titles

Are incredibly similar. But, uh, one of my favorite memories of this

Song was, uh, I actually ended up touring with Keith Urban. I did

Uh, one of his tours, which was mostly Canada, except for one gig

That was in London, uh, which, uh, of course brought me back to the

Place where I wrote it. But, uh, uh, he played at a fairly famous

Club, uh, in London called La Scala, which is, uh, very, it's, it's

Famous for some Beatles performances. It's an old building, it's

Beautiful. And he played there and I opened the show solo. Uh, so

Uh, that song was performed twice that night, which I thought was

Really cool. I did it in my opening set and then Keith came out and

Did it again. Uh, so that's one of my favorite memories of that song
