La journée et le soir

I am a little confused about the use of la journée and le soir in this text. 'During the day' (Pendant la journée) is feminine - I understand this as she is discussing a length of time rather than a specific point in time. I don't understand why 'in the evening' (le soir) is not 'la soirée' - what distinguishes these two statements to make the switch from feminine to masculine? Is it the preceding "during" and "in"?

Thanks in advance!

D’hiver?

When do you use this construct? I see it in the example.

Why the article "le" before "on" in "Et l'on entend la même chanson, oh !"?Obviously, my question is not related to the current subject. However, since the sentence is used in this lesson, I figured it would be ok to present it here. In any case, I have yet to run into this construction in my lessons. Can someone point me in the right direction perhaps? Thank you.
