Line 37:
* [[Charity Motivation Song]]: "Breaking the Silence", written for Amnesty International. A bit forced, but [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]].
* [[Christmas Songs]]: ''To Drive the Cold Winter Away'', ''A Winter Garden'', and ''A Midwinter Night's Dream'' all have a number of such songs. Three of the five on ''A Winter Garden'' are traditional carols ("Coventry Carol", "Good King Wenceslas", and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"), but the entirety of ''A Midwinter Night's Dream'' is Christmas music, not merely winter-themed.
* [[Colonel Badass]]: Well [[From a Certain Point of View|sort of]]. She is the honorary colonel of the 435 Transport and Rescue Squadron.
**That's actually a throwback to the days when being a colonel was an aristocratic hobby, kind of like owning a baseball team in America, many colonel's did active service in other units and some weren't even soldiers. This tradition lives on in the Commonwealth where regiments sometimes carry an eighteenth century air to them.
* [[Composite Character]]: Although nothing in the song suggests it, the music video for "Bonny Swans" strongly implies that the harper who brings the youngest daughter as a harp to her father's hall is also the true love for whom her oldest sister drowned her; the actor and costume for both is the same. This does add a rather powerful resonance to the song's denouement, however.
* [[Crossing the Desert]]: ''Caravanserai''
