    Db7 - Abm6

    Bbm/Eb7 - Bbm6/C#m6

    How do you guys think harmonically of the change to C major? Is it just going up a major 3rd, or something more logical than that? Doesn't sound like a clear key change, and fits well in to the rest of the song.


    The rest of the song is pretty straight in terms of harmonic analysis.

    Yes it briefly moves up a major third, I don’t think you need to come up with any other explanation. Same thing occurs in some other tunes, e.g. bar 13 of I Love You (Cole Porter).
