"Goodnight Song" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears.
Taken from their 1993 album Elemental, it was released as a single in North America and in some European countries (though not in the UK), and was a minor hit in Canada.
The US single included the b-side "New Star". This song can be heard during the opening credits of the 1994 film Threesome and appears on the film's soundtrack album. It was also later included on the 1996 Tears for Fears compilation album Saturnine Martial & Lunatic.
