Thumbs up Oh go on then...

Okay, I'm going to pass it on.

The Reason was thus;

The Days of Future Passed is an Album by the band 'The Moody Blues' (a band I happen to like). In this album, the 7th track is 'Nights in White Satin'. The Barrow Wight's Personal Title is 'Knight in Wight satin'.

There you go.

Take it away Mr. Mithalwen

I may not be in the SpM league, or anywhere near it, for setting cryptic clues but the word sounds might suggest that you shouldn't be thinking of visuals

This is actually a very straight forward clue......

I am going to guess as if you had not given the second clue. . .I don't think this one is correct, but it would kill me if it is and somebody else gets it.

Well not quite that straight forward! But you are perhaps warmer than the other guesses so far...

It isn't Hookbill is it? Being called Hookbill the Goomba and all, with that being a computer character that does get involved in action.
