"The Music of the Night" (also labeled as just "Music of the Night") is a song from the popular 1986 musical The Phantom of the Opera. The music was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Charles Hart. It has appeared on multiple soundtracks of the musical, such as the original cast version in which English actor Michael Crawford sings the song.
Initially made famous by Michael Crawford, the actor who originated the role of the Phantom both in the West End and on Broadway, the popular song has sold millions of copies worldwide and has been translated into many different languages. The Really Useful Group filmed a video starring Crawford and Sarah Brightman (who did not sing), which featured the original lyrics to the song. Crawford later recorded the song as duet with Barbra Streisand for her album "Back to Broadway" (1993). This version of the song also appears on her greatest duets album.
In the musical, it is sung after the Phantom lures Christine Daaé down to his lair beneath the Opera House. He seduces Christine with "his music" of the night, his voice putting her into a type of trance. He sings of his unspoken love for her and urges her to forget the world and life she knew before. The Phantom leads Christine around his lair, eventually pulling back a curtain to reveal a mannequin dressed in a wedding gown resembling Christine. When she approaches it, it suddenly moves, causing her to faint. The Phantom then carries Christine to a bed, where he lays her down and goes on to write his music.
"Of the Night" is a song by British indie rock band Bastille, released on 11 October 2013 as the lead single from All This Bad Blood (2013), a reissue of their debut studio album Bad Blood (2013). The song debuted at number two on the UK Singles Chart, and has also charted in several other countries.
The song was covered by Ellie Goulding at BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.
"Of the Night" is a mash up of two 1990s dance hit songs, the 1993 hit "The Rhythm of the Night" by Italian Eurodance act Corona and the 1992 hit "Rhythm Is a Dancer" by German Eurodance group Snap!. The song was first featured on Bastille's mixtape Other People's Heartache, which was released in 2012 as a free download.
"Of the Night" was later used in a promotional trailer for the eighth series of ITV's Dancing on Ice in January 2013. It received its first radio play on Huw Stephens' BBC Radio 1 show on 9 October 2013, and was released digitally on 11 October 2013. On 15 November 2013, Of the Night EP was released, featuring three remixes of the song and a live recording of "Oblivion".
Of the Night is an EP by British indie rock band Guillemots. It was released on 14 February 2006. It was available for download from the band's website, and contains four tracks.
The EP was re-released on CD and 12" vinyl on 23 October 2006 on the bands' own label, "Sea Accident". According to early reports by the band, it was to contain a DVD of fan-directed music videos, selected as competition winners. However, lack of interest in this competition led to the decision not to include such a DVD.
In October 2006, the band performed all 4 songs from this EP, in order, as part of their set at the Electric Proms with the BBC Concert Orchestra. A highlight of this was the intense performance of "Bad Boyfriend" which saw the entire band donning animal masks and climaxed with Fyfe's request of "Take me to Orchestral Paradise!". This was followed by "By the Water", a song which was a large part of the bands Autumn 2006 touring set. This song is notable because it sees double-bassist Aristazabal Hawkes perform her first song with the band as lead vocalist, rather than Fyfe Dangerfield.

Hold back the daytime
Don't want to see the dawn
The spell must not be broken
So elusive, here then gone
If peace and calm were energy
This silence would shine bright
So listen if you will, my friend
To the music of the night
Let the fates and furies quarrel
How the new day will proceed
Let them end it all tomorrow
If they'll grant me my reprieve
In a silence as seductive
As Circe's Sirens call
The music of the night-time
Will captivate us all
Silently drifting away
Waking from dreams of the day
You dark melody, you must stay
So vivid in the gloom now
My thoughts in sharp relief
Between an earth and sky so time-tied
A sanctuary for the thief
In the solitude of morning
Before the sun begins his flight
Let me stay a little longer
In the music of the night
Silently drifting away
Waking from dreams of the day
You dark melody, you must stay
Music of the night
Music of the night
Music of the night
Music of the night
Feel the music of the night
Music of the night
Music of the night
Music of the night
Feel the music
Music of the night
Music of the night
