2. Which of the following is NOT a song from "Brooklyn"

Answer: I Never Knew Her Name

The correct title is "I Never Knew His Name", sung by Brooklyn. A beautifully sung, yet forgettable song within the context of the show. It really doesn't further the plot.

3. Finish the lyric "Once upon a time has never felt ___ _____"

Answer: more right

"Once upon a time has never felt more right", sung by the lead character Brooklyn. In my opinion this is the best song in the show. It establishes Brooklyn's character perfectly, it says "I'm not a little girl anymore" and finished on a high that will make you stand up and pay attention.
