============
Note: I use a ‘theme’ for my diaries, in an attempt to keep my writings on a cohesive path while I compose the diaries. It is also fun to see comments that fit within that theme. However, here in MOTland, all topics are welcome, it is an open thread. There are no demerits for being so-called ‘off-topic’. Thanks!

Preview: Next Saturday June 14, songs that have titles which count a number of days
======================
>>>>This diary has some words about Midnight and some songs that use that word in their title.
Words below are gleaned from this Wiki: Midnight
Midnight is the transition time from one day to the next – the moment when the date changes, on the local official clock time for any particular jurisdiction.
Midnight marks the beginning and ending of each day in civil time throughout the world. As the dividing point between one day and another, midnight defies easy classification as either part of the preceding day or of the following day. Though there is no global unanimity on the issue, most often midnight is considered the start of a new day and is associated with the hour 00:00.
Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to use “A.M. and P.M." when referring to noon or midnight. However, many digital representations of time are configured to require an “A.M. or P.M." designation. In the United States and Canada, digital clocks and computers commonly display 12 A.M. at midnight.
Use of a 24-hour clock can remove ambiguity. The "midnight" term can be avoided altogether if the end of the day is noted as 24:00 and the beginning of the day as 00:00. While both notations refer to the same moment in time, the choice of notation allows its association with the previous night or with the following morning.
=========================
Midnight in Moscow (the end of this day) is 4 P.M. CDT (Eight hours ‘earlier’ the same day) here in Missouri. Moscow does not use Daylight Savings Time.
