Bright Light Bright Light, "Into the Night"
How can you not love a song that claims a 1985 Jeff Goldblum/Michelle Pfieffer film as its inspiration? Rod Thomas (aka Bright Light Bright Light) is one of a number of 2010's gay male pop singers who use the sonic palette of 1980's synthpop (particularly from groups like Blancmange and Erasure) to create soaring emotional music that wears its queer heart on its sleeve. (One of his earlier singles is literally entitled "An Open Heart"). When I hear it, even I'm tempted to strike some of those dramatic poses Rod is displaying from 1:40 to 1:45.
