The blue hour comes from the French expression l'heure bleue, which refers to the period of twilight each morning and evening where there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. The time is considered special because of the quality of the light at this time of day.
The phrase is also used to refer to Paris immediately prior to World War I, which was considered to be a time of relative innocence.[citation needed]
As a result of the perceived specialness of this time, there are various restaurants, theatres and hotels called L'Heure Bleue located worldwide. There is also a women's perfume by Guerlain (1912) of the same name. The Norwegian rock band Madrugada (Spanish and Portuguese for "early morning") were also named after this time.
In English culture the term was used to describe the period of inactivity and uselessness a drinker encounters when pubs and other licensed premises have closed after the lunch-time session (typically 15:30 hrs) and will not open for the evening session until (typically 18:30 hrs) based on pub opening times in England. Scotland and Wales, now largely abolished in favour of all-day opening.
The Blue Hour is a story between two lifelong best friends who have been torn apart by one of their unexpected deaths. It is a journey of meeting up in a realm between life and death, dream and reality. Will the strength of their friendship be enough?

When it's way past midnight
blue hour long after the sun went down
When it's way past midnight
blue hour long after the sun went down
slow dance in the moonlight
it's the time loving comes around
and it's time for love
alone in this darkness
blue hour, no one but me and you
oh, lord have mercy, alone in this darkness
you're love plays, you tender sweet waves
no one else could ever do
when it's time for love
gonna pray for sunshine
that's what all the people say
well, we gonna pray for sunshine
honey, that's what all the people say
but you know, I'm waiting on the blue hour
that's when the sunshine
