The Singing Towers got their name from the fact that the wind passing through the cave system on Darillium would harmonise with the cave's crystal layer, creating melodic tunes. When talking about them, the Doctor remarked, "They've been there for millions of years, through storms and floods and wars and... time. Nobody really understands where the music comes from. It's probably something to do with the precise positions, the distance between both towers. Even the locals aren't sure. All anyone will ever tell you is that when the wind stands fair and the night is perfect... when you least expect it... but always... when you need it the most... there is a song.
