The Lampyridae are a family of insects in the beetle order Coleoptera. They are winged beetles, and commonly called fireflies or lightning bugs for their conspicuous use of bioluminescence during twilight to attract mates or prey. Fireflies produce a "cold light", with no infrared or ultraviolet frequencies. This chemically produced light from the lower abdomen may be yellow, green, or pale red, with wavelengths from 510 to 670 nanometers.
About 2,000 species of fireflies are found in temperate and tropical environments. Many are in marshes or in wet, wooded areas where their larvae have abundant sources of food. Their larvae emit light and often are called "glowworms", in particular, in Eurasia. In the Americas, "glow worm" also refers to the related Phengodidae. In many species, both male and female fireflies have the ability to fly, but in some species, the females are flightless.
Fireflies tend to be brown and soft-bodied, often with the elytra, or front wings, more leathery than those of other beetles. Although the females of some species are similar in appearance to males, larviform females are found in many other firefly species. These females can often be distinguished from the larvae only because they have compound eyes. The most commonly known fireflies are nocturnal, although there are numerous species that are diurnal. Most diurnal species are not luminescent; however, some species that remain in shadowy areas may produce light.
"Firefly" is the second single by Essex alternative metal band InMe. The 2002 song starts off very melodic with guitar harmonics and a drum and bass driven verse. It then progresses to a heavier pre-chorus/chorus. The chorus and breakdown have the repetitive lyric "It's all over now / You've killed me".
Firefly is the sixth studio album by the Norwegian hard rock band TNT. It was released in 1997.
The album was a comeback for TNT who split up in 1992 after the release of Realized Fantasies. It also marked a significant change in TNT's sound and is still heavily debated among the fans of the band. The music is more heavy and modern, reflecting the changes in the music business in the first half of the 1990s. It is also Tony Harnell's favorite album. New singer Tony Mills was told by Le Tekrø in 2007 to not even bother listening to it as they would not play anything from the album live.
The album was not as successful as some of TNT's previous albums, but still achieved some success in Norway and Japan. The band toured those countries in support of the album.
The song "Soldier of the Light" was never meant for the album. It was a demo from the Realized Fantasies sessions and was put on Firefly because the Japanese record company liked it so much.
They opened their live shows with "Only the Thief" as an intro before launching into "Somebody Told You" with Tony Harnell doing the first lines of the songs lyrics before Le Tekrø opened with the song's riff.

Deeper (sometimes known simply as Tunnels 2) is the sequel to the novel Tunnels, written by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams.
The novel explores the events which Will, Chester and his friends have to go through to attempt to prevent the Styx from continuing their next phase of destruction upon Topsoil.
Part 1: Breaking Cover
The story opens with Sarah Jerome, Will's biological mother, dismounting from a bus and going on foot to a concealed chamber built into a bridge in a remote rural location. There she collects a letter that states her brother Tam is dead because he was found helping Will and his biological brother escape but he makes a last stand allowing Will and his brother to escape with his friend to meet up with Chester.
Meanwhile, Will and Chester are overjoyed to be reunited once again as the Miners' Train travels down through the Earth on its way to the Deeps. Will's younger brother, Cal, is also with them. The train passes through a series of storm gates and, on the final approach to the Miners' Station, the three boys jump from it. Having escaped detection at the station, they travel further into the Deeps, where they are attacked by carnivorous bats and are forced to take shelter in an old, deserted house. Inside the house they find evidence that Will's stepfather, Dr. Burrows, has already been there.
Deeper is the third full-length studio recording from American post-punk band The Soft Moon. It was released on March 31, 2015 by Captured Tracks. First single "Black" was featured as a Best New Track by Pitchfork, and was used in the television series Gotham and How to Get Away With Murder.
Lisa Sookraj of Exclaim! called the record a more polished release that is "fuller, fatter and puts more emphasis on its futuristic electronic elements than its nostalgic ones."
