what's it called when a song changes key?
modulation
the term "subdominant" may also refer to a relationship of musical keys. for example, relative to the key of c major, the key of f major is the subdominant. music which modulates (changes key) often modulates to the subdominant when the leading tone is lowered by half step to the subtonic (b to b in the key of c). modulation to the subdominant key often creates a sense of musical relaxation, as opposed to modulation to the dominant (fifth note of the scale), which increases tension.
subdominant
the song was partly about kemp's platonic relationship with altered images singer clare grogan. some phrases in the lyrics (including the much-quoted reference to "seaside arms") were adapted from vladimir nabokov's novel "lolita", a copy of which grogan had given kemp. the song is written in the key of g major. it has a tempo of 98 bpm and a chord progression of g, em, g/c, bm. the song changes key when it hits the instrumental break. the instrumental break is in the key of e♭major.
