In 2003, Darone turned his focus on songwriting, and Suit of Lights was born. Collaborating with Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle), Steve Pedulla (Thursday), and Jamie Egan (Streetlight Manifesto), Darone released four critically-acclaimed albums under the Suit of Lights moniker.
Darone draws upon an eclectic range of influences including Art-rock, 60's pop, punk, new wave, metal, and baroque pop in the over 50 songs he has written.
Named after the traditional bullfighting costume (Traje de Luces), Darone considers Suit of Lights as a metaphor for life's juxtaposition of beauty and brutality and reflects that worldview in the music.

Suit of Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Showed her off to all my friends,
They're thinking oh, hot damn, she's a perfect ten.
I'm thinking,
All these dudes are gonna have to wait,
'Cause tonight were out on our first date
And it's going smooth, exactly according to plan.
The movie just got over, here's a kiss goodnight.
Well, who would have known it'd not only just began.
We're getting down like, oh oh baby.
Sit tight, girl, show me what you're working with.
Drive me crazy, Cause some wait a life for a night like this.
Oh oh baby, Can't stop thinking 'bout another kiss.
Oh oh baby, Cause I'd wait a life for a night like this.
So, three weeks have passed,
Let me introduce my new girlfriend.
I bring her back to mom and dad,
And they think that she's innocent.
But she's got a body, she knows how to party,
I know she could probably get anybody she sees,
But she can't take her hands off me.
And she said, why don't stay the night,
I know there's a school in the morning, but it feels so right.
Well, next thing you know,
It'd not only just began.
We're getting down like, oh oh baby.
Sit tight, girl, show me what you're working with.
Drive me crazy, Cause some wait a life for a night like this.
Oh oh baby, Can't stop thinking 'bout another kiss.
Some day maybe,
'Cause I'd wait a life for a night like this.
We're getting down like, oh oh baby.
Sit tight, girl, show me what you're working with.
Drive me crazy, Cause some wait a life for a night like this.
Oh oh baby, Can't stop thinking 'bout another kiss.
Some day maybe,
'Cause I'd wait a life for a night like-
Oh oh baby,
Sit tight, girl, show me what you're working with,
Drive me crazy, Cause some wait a life for a night like this.
Oh oh baby, Can't stop thinking 'bout another kiss.
Some day maybe,
'Cause I'd wait a life for a night like-
I'd wait a life for a night like this.
The lyrics of Suit of Lights' "This Night" illustrate a story of a guy who meets a girl he perceives as perfect and starts dating her. The first time they go out, everything goes exactly as planned, and the guy is thrilled to be with her. As time goes by, they become more serious, and he introduces her to his family. Though they perceive her as innocent, the guy knows she's got a wild side. The second time they have sex, it becomes clear that it's not just casual anymore. The guy is enamored with her and wants more "nights like this."
The song epitomizes the euphoria and excitement that comes with a new relationship, especially in the early stages when everything is fresh and exhilarating. It's a classic portrayal of infatuation, with the lyrics illustrating the desire to connect with the object of one's affection on a deeper level. The singer is so smitten with his new love that he's willing to wait a lifetime for another night like the one they had to spend together. "This Night" shows that while relationships don't come without challenges, it's possible to experience something beautiful when two people connect on a deep level.
