Night
Night (also described as night time, unconventionally spelled as "nite") is the period of ambient darkness from sunset to sunrise during each 24-hour day, when the Sun is below the horizon. The exact time when night begins and ends depends on the location and varies throughout the year, based on factors such as season and latitude. The word can be used in a different sense as the time between bedtime and morning. In common communication, the word ''night'' is used as a farewell ("good night", sometimes shortened to "night"), mainly when someone is going to sleep or leaving. Astronomical night is the period between astronomical dusk and astronomical dawn when the Sun is between 18 and 90 degrees below the horizon and does not illuminate the sky.

Night (Blake)
"Night" is a poem in the illuminated 1789 collection ''Songs of Innocence'' by William Blake, later incorporated into the larger compilation ''Songs of Innocence and of Experience''. "Night" speaks about the coming of evil when darkness arrives, as angels protect and keep the sheep from the impending dangers. ''Songs of Innocence'' was written by William Blake in 1789 as part of his Illuminated Books. Blake's aim for his ''Songs'' was to depict the two contrary states of human existence: innocence and experience. The Songs speak upon the "innocence" of being a child and the "experience" gained over a lifetime. The ''Songs'' are separated into ten different objects, with each object offering a different situation and how it is viewed from a child's perspective. Background Blake was a non-conformist. He opposed the British monarchy and aligned his thoughts with Thomas Paine and Mary Wollstonecraft. Blake was an advocate for using the imagination over natural observations. He believe ...

Night (Bruce Springsteen Song)
"Night" is a song by Bruce Springsteen which first appeared on the ''Born to Run'' album in 1975. Although this is one of the lesser known songs from ''Born to Run'', "Night" has become somewhat of a stage favorite for the E Street Band. The song was not immediately played during the 1975 portions of the Born to Run Tour, but later became a frequent set-opener, especially during the 1976 and 1977 legs. It was still sometimes being used as an opening song decades later during the 2007–2008 Magic Tour. The mood of the music is mostly exciting as are the lyrics which have a romantic quality as well. The music is propelled by Gary Tallent's bass. It is similar to the album's famous title track in that both songs deal with men and their fast cars. The lyrics mostly describe the central character as a blue collar worker who, after working a full day, runs off into the night to go drag racing and search for the love of a woman.
