So "We Go On" was a success...

meaning...

we'll do it again.

Of course, we'll use two new songs.

link https://youtube.com/watch?v=3WJ1cf3nrLE - YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND
Dark times, eh? But there's a lot of hope! Let's contrast a fitting grand finale:

link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G-YQA_bsOU - BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER
Yes, together we can make this.

Official lyrics for the purpose of the challenge:

YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND

When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa, nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights


You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
All you got to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah

You've got a friend

If the sky… above you should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow

Keep your head together and call my name out loud now
Soon I'll be knocking upon your door


People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
Well, they'll take your soul if you let them
Oh yeah, but don't you let them

You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am

I'll come running to see you again
Oh baby, don't you know about
Winter, spring, summer, or fall

Hey now, all you've got to do is call, Lord,I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend, yeah
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend


-----------------------------------------------------------------------

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
Oh when times get rough
And friends just can't be found


Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
Oh when darkness comes
And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down


Sail on, silver girl
Sail on by

Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine

Oh if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind


Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind


-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Community score: 347/347

CHALLENGE COMPLETE!

The rules:

- Quotes must be full, exact words.
- You may change punctuation and capitalization and you can work across lines.
- Each title may be used only once for credit, but titles can overlap or you could even use a subset of a title already used.
- You can use any category or quiz format. You could even make a crossword if you want.
- You can participate via team and co-authored quizzes, but you need to submit a total of SEVEN questions over one or more quizzes to qualify for the badgelet (this is a reduction from 2022 - if two people want to evenly split a 15Q quiz, go ahead!). Or author one crossword, those don't have multi-author options.
- The challenge will be judged like any other title-based challenge, so your title must reasonably fit the quiz. This call is (as always) made by the editor who places your quiz online.

And, because it's all about friendship, there's again a community challenge involved in this but this time it's not about categories - it's about fully completing both songs. Repeated lines or phrases of course need to be covered only once.

Conjunctions, articles and so on are free. "Yeah", however, is not, so it might be a good idea to make a quiz with that title, it could get rid of a few bad spots :)

It's strongly recommended (but not required) that you claim your title before writing just to make sure no one else will use the same title. And please, before you write, check that you're not duplicating something another author is already working on.

The challenge is open until the end of the year - you must make a first submit within 2023. You can of course do more than one title if you wish to help with the community aspect, but there's no tiers on this - you get it for one quiz just the same as for ten.


And the badgelet you can earn looks something like this:

Special thanks to editor looney_tunes who has not only been instrumental in the final push to make "We Go On" a success but also chose this beautiful pair of songs for 2023!

Further to my previous question, I just spotted there has already been some discussion here (around the end of March) about another quiz already submitted with the title "Sail On Silver Girl". So to avoid further controversy I think I'll just call mine "Silver Girl", which I believe is acceptable as a different title.

You should be able to do it for the badgelet; it just won't contribute to the group total.

I saw on the badgelet page that the last badge was handed out a month ago, June 26th. What about the rest of us? Don't we get one, Wes?

Tiye--just to give you and idea --I think it does take about a month. My first friend quiz went online 4/17 and I got the mini 5/10. Hang in there! I'm sure no one will be overlooked :-)

Score is up to 210 with one free "to" between "come" and "shine".

Remember someone will need to knock off that "Oh". "Oh baby" took one of them, so "Oh Yeah" would now also be a viable way of getting this one off the list.

Other possible hurdles:

"and nothing"
"baby, to see you again" vs "to see you again" - can't get both in one shot regardless of how you do it.
"well"
"I will"
"When you're" (I suppose this could be easy as "when you're down")

Here is Nothing is Going Right.

I think I can do something about Nothing, so that will tidy up the second line.

I had a brainwave about that pesky 'Oh' last night. So I'll put Nothing on the back burner, and deal with Oh. If anybody else wants to take Nothing in the meantime feel free.

Here is Oh!

Now I'll go back to doing something about Nothing.
