I was listening to the Raspberries's song "go all"Go All the way raspberries"Way" as covered by The Killers in the movie "Dark Shadows." I sorta figured out the song by ear on my guitar and I was a little confused. It is in the key of A and uses D minor. Here's the chorus I found on guitaretab.com:

    A            F#m         D      C#m Bm
    Please (baby) go all the way
        E       C#m              F#
    It feels so right (feels so right)
               Bm           Dm   E
    Being with you here tonight
    A            F#m         D      C#m Bm
    Please (baby) go all the way
          E      C#m              F#
    Just hold me close (hold me close)
               Bm           Dm  [1: G6   2, 3: E]
    Don't ever let       me go
              (don't let me go)

What is the effect of a minor subdominant in a major key? Is it aan abrupt key change, modulation, something else? I don't get it, but it's really cool

Thanks for any insight.
