Songs that tell or explain something

During the song he sings "I am Sagittarius"...I looked and he really is, Dec. 13th. :)

That's pretty cool.

The Darkness is the Music of the Night
from The Phantom of the Opera
lyrics are brilliant...by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes I write...
For I compose the music of the night

Slowly, gently, Night unfurls it's Splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing, music is deceiving
Hard as lightening, soft as candlelight.
Dare you trust the music of the night?

Close your Eyes
For your eyes will only tell the truth
And the truth isn't what you want to see
In the dark it is easy to pretend
That the truth is what it ought to be.

Softly, deftly music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness that you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night

Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes
And let music set you free.
Only then can you belong to me

Floating, falling, Sweet Intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each Sensation
Let the dream begin, Let your darker side give in
To the Power of the music that I write,
The Power of the Music of the Night!

You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night.

Edit: I just noticed in the last few seconds of the video here,
Prince William and Prince Harry are in a closeup in the audience and quite young.
Harry looks so sad. He was like that at Diana's funeral too...moreso than others.
I think he feels things more deeply.
