Ok might sound ignorant but what exactly is a key change?

Well, hmm. So whenever a song is composed and everything, it's got a key signature to it, like a scale of notes used in the song that's used to carry the melody of the song. A key change is basically when those scale of notes are shifted to another key, to sort of create drama or excitement within the song. More or less, wait, does that make any sense? :spin:

Yes, I also do love partying in moving houses as seen in that one Bacardi tv ad.

No :emma: 

I just really enjoy when people who understand the conventions of western art music and theory use that knowledge to do things like modulate in ways that are interesting or creative, I think the effect it has on the ear is actually beautiful... It's not hard to modulate, and that always registers to the ear, but its not necessarily popular to do it tastefully, and I appreciate the effort.

(Not that I'm a classical music snob or purist. I just feel like certain aspects of music theory are not utilized in popular music nearly as much as they should be, and popular music could be more sonically diverse if they used these tools~)

私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから

Not really in technical terms, but I could understand how you'd think that. One sec. Right around there at 1:50

Omg that is the reason I get annoyed with PI.  It sounds so off, I thought it was just bad production.

Personally thought it added some turbulence to the song, but if it's not to ur liking then that's fine :gaycat:
