[@roarinfireball]

A pop song changing key 18 times, most pop songs never change key. At most once or twice, this song is quite the enigma; I’ve been listening to it for years, and I still keep finding little details in this song.

[@norbicsek]

It's not really 18 distinct key changes as much as just constant modulation that sorta breaks the concept of "key". It reminds me of how some music academics argue that Prophetiae Sibyllarum by renaissance composer Orlando di Lasso is "functionally atonal", because it modulates so often, and is so full of extreme chromatic shifts, that it just never settles on a tonal center for long enough that the listener could register it as home key. I love this kinda stuff, my favorite band, Cardiacs also does this a lot - I highly recommend you check out the songs Goodbye Grace, Big Ship, and Dirty Boy, if you like weird pop music that feels like it changes key every couple seconds.

[@louisgrissman4857]

​@@norbicsek I definitely feel like that "never having a home" is the intentional message, that the music (the night lite) shouldn't have a home in your life, but it's there to protect you when you're down (weak/young)

[@starshapefriend]

I grew up with this song- my dad (he recently turned 50) had DVDs of a bunch of their music videos. I watched their for-kids stuff like Here Comes Science, but this was my favorite in what I called the “Dad’s Might Be Giants” DVDs. I’m turning 20 next year, and this is my favorite song of all time. Dad and I are seeing them in concert in December after nearly a 3 year wait, haha! He’s seen them twice in concert before but this is my first time. This song always feels to me like a message from my younger self to the present day, to remember to always keep my head up and to “keep the nightlight on inside.”

I was just a casual fan at the time and looking back, it was one of the most memorable live shows I've ever seen. I sat next to a woman who had dated one of the Johns. She was smart and kind of buttoned-down---exactly the kind of person you would want them to date.

I truly miss this weird and beautiful music. We are lacking this in today's world...🤪💋

[@selfan4evr]

I truly feel like the 90's were the last decade when the music coming out was good more often than not. Seems like people are really easily impressed these days.

They might be Giants did a lot of iconic kids show/movie songs from my childhood, explains why I've become a fan in recent years

[@E-N-A-R-D-L-A-V]

I primarily listen to metal and hip hop. But I will get down with some They Might be Giants. Flood was on in my room quite a bit as a teenager.

[@JaYf7709]

I had a cassette tape of this back in 199?. good on you for finding it guys it's awesome!!!

Why is the world in love again? Why are we marching hand in hand? Why are the ocean levels rising up? It’s a brand new record for 1990. They Might Be Giants brand new album Flood.

[@heatherhalligan142]

This is the best happy song ever.

[@djdrax7203]

The song that literally saved my life :)

I'm 12 again and this is my favourite song of all time🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵. And my friend Debbie was still with us 🧡🧡🧡🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@Itsthepreppylizzy]

Pls don’t retire if you plan on it.😭 I may not be a teen yet but you guys are like my favorite singers and I will literally cry if I never find new music ever again😭🙏

[@octangulastella]

have you tried the inactive band tally hall

[@Karatel123]

have you tried the active(not really) band Lemon Demon? They have a cover of this song too

[@floridaflamingogirl3119]

They're almost finished with their next album and going to release it soon. They also are touring a lot this year. They aren't showing any signs of slowing down yet!

[@gcooper642]

When is this kind of thing going to make a comeback? Post punk is having a huge revival right now, when's it time for the music of my youth to resurge

[@jellyfrog3659]

It's very fascinating reading the comments that talk about when they listened to this song.

[@andrewphillips4847]

I was 12 at the time and certain words were turned into minor rude ones at school! What a tune. Oh for some talent like this group nowadays. 👏👏

[@cita_m]

Im 35. But really, I'm 48-52. This is my music. This is my time.

[@ThatVeryArtGal]

This song has been stuck in my head for the past two days and I have no idea how it got there.

[@mediocre_dane]

My friend Matthieu loved this song after I sent it to him. His family was military and he was only there for 8 months before he went back to Belgium. Can't contact him anymore. Miss you.
