Written by composer Alan Menken and having the lyrics written by Stephen Schwartz, the song "So Close" by Jon McLaughlin has been made for Disney Pictures’ "here), a 2007 musical fantasy film, a homage to Walt Disney’s classic princess fairy tale stories.
Being both contemporary and classical, the song has songs sung by characters in the movies "True Love’s Kiss", "That’s How You Know" or "Happy Working Song", in which the song has also been featured.
The story of the main character of "Enchanted", Giselle, is beautifully described by the song, being exquisitely genuine.
The emotional road that Giselle goes through could not have been better symbolized than through this song that is not as widely known as it should be, even if it was nominated for the 80th Academy Awards for the Best Original Song category, a category for which "Happy Working Song" and "That’s How You Know" also got nominated.
We hope that you enjoy the sheet music for this Disney song, because, we assure you it is more than just a Disney song, being beautifully constructed from start to finish.
