[@cinna-manspice4449]

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)

[@sophias.4243]

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.”

[@e_ffx]

It sounds insane if you're trying to figure out the metaphor and meaning. Once you realize it's pretty much literal (the narrator is a blue, canary-shaped night light in a child's room), it falls into place. The word choice is still phenomenal.

I saw TMBG for the first time in '93, in Central Park, NYC. I think it was the first tour where they had full band, and they ate Pere Ubu and NRBQ (with whom they shared the bill) alive. 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.

[@heathhayner]

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

[@Kendro311]

I'd say "they don't make em like this anymore", but TMBG always kinda did something unique themselves. Feels good, still all these years later.

One of my favorite songs for 34 years. Never gets old.

[@nigelmurphy5682]

A song so good it could pass for the 80's

[@jbwarner8626]

Released January 15, 1990. So, you were close 😁

[@berzerkbankie1342]

This is definitely some mid 80s college rock.

[@jahno7154]

Written in the 80s so really it is a 80s tune

The song that literally saved my life :)

[@OwenPlant532]

Truly a masterpiece!

[@MicheleHarling]

I had forgotten how infectious this is...

[@LiamMajko]

This song woke me up at a coma, for 20 years. A masked girl sat behind me & played this song for me to wake up. After the 1st repetition of “I’m your only friend”, the “blue canary” part woke me up. John L. sings like a bird, floating and never dying as it occurs.

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

[@mikemath9508]

i don't listen to TMBG really, but this song just starts out as if it's already been playing for a minute another song that does that is Daft Punks "one more time", one of those tracks you can play on repeat and not really tell where it ends and begins

[@rajnirvan3336]

Never get bored of this

[@user-hn2bo2pn7t]

I love this song and it makes me incredibly happy singing it and changing the lyrics around . There are so many variations. I wish the guys peace and success on any projects they take on. ❤

[@ThatVeryArtGal]

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

[@davidlosers]

Flashback to the nineties: I’m at my grandparents house, watching mtv and this comes on to be followed by the speed racer anime.

[@CompassIIDX]

Not only is this the best song and video to come out of the '90s, it's the best THING to come out of that decade (in which riches were abundant).

[@Vinemaple]

'90s music videos... they're like some kind of window into the strangest of parallel realities.

[@kevinmcquaid3183]

THIS IS AWESOME. CLASSIC!!!!

[@nedoran5758]

Beside all else, nice of Blue Canary to explain it all so plainly for us with this ditty

[@N1oreo1]

I just heard this come on the radio. Never heard it before but it made me smile 😂

[@user-qk1dl5wf8d]

This song was my childhood and i still love it

[@turkeysamwich00]

This is probably the only song written from the point of view of a night light
