Do we really need to list *every* reference to night? I admit I haven\\\'t heard every song on the list (I started with \\\'\\\'Once\\\'\\\'), but some of the examples didn\\\'t even appear to fit the \\\"romanticizing darkness\\\" theme (e.g. [=FantasMic=]- \\\"Wish upon a star\\\" is a Disney reference in a song full of them.)

* DarkIsNotEvil: Romanticizing darkness (particularly the depiction of night-time as fantastically romantic) is a running theme, seen even in the band\\\'s very name.
** \\\"Elvenpath\\\"
--> In this spellbound night
--> The world\\\'s an elvish sight
** \\\"Beauty And The Beast\\\"
--> Recall the night you melted my uglyness away?
--> The night you left with a kiss so kind\\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\\
Ah, dear friend I remember the night
--> The moon and the dreams we shared
** \\\"Astral Romance\\\"
--> A nocturnal concerto
--> candlelight whispers me where to go
--> Hymn of gathering stars as my guide
--> whilst I wander on this path of the night
** \\\"Tutankhamen\\\"
--> As the sun sets beyond the pyramids
** \\\"Know Why The Nightingale Sings\\\", the name of the song, for starters...
** \\\"Stargazers\\\": right there in the name...
** \\\"Sleeping Sun\\\": the entire song...
** \\\"Come Cover Me\\\"
--> Cover the night with your love
** \\\"Wishmaster\\\"
--> A dreamy-eyed child staring into night
** \\\"[=FantasMic=]\\\"
--> Wish upon a star
** \\\"Away\\\"
--> The nights had more hope
--> In their silence
** \\\"Bless the Child\\\"
--> One night I dreamt a white rose withering
** \\\"Slaying the Dreamer\\\"
--> Swansong for the Wish of Night
** \\\"Feel for You\\\"
--> Settling for a draw tonight
** \\\"Last Ride of the Day\\\"
--> Once upon a night we\\\'ll wake
--> To the carnival of life
