serenade

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'night air' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'the window?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'coming through' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for serenade that I've seen before include "Open-air song" , "Piece sung beneath beloved's window" , "composition" , "Musical performance, under a lady's window?" , "Music appropriate for evening" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
