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!

I have an idea for a photo match (and a picture frame) using "But don't you let them".

I'm time-poor at the moment but I really would like this project to be a success so 'Baby, Hit Me One More Time' with "Baby, to see you again" which would preclude Britney Spears inclusion in a re-marriage quiz

Please disregard the last reply. I obviously did not read down far enough.
Wellenbrecher claimed the same text grouping first. I will go away and have a think about one of the other remaining options.

My nice, shiny new badge arrived in my mailbox today!

It occurs to me that "When Evening Falls" will probably have to be a photo match rather than a regular old photo quiz. Wish me luck!

Indeed it was - thanks for posting.

Now I am planning for "all you've got to do is call, Lord". That does leave Hey now hanging at the start of the line, but since when I read that I hear the start of a song about which I might be able to spin an Anatomy of a Song style quiz, I am not uncomfortable leaving that. Of course, someone else might want it , too.

I see "When evening falls" has been claimed so I would like to claim the rest of that line "so hard".
Thanks

Hi 1nn1 - there is no reason why you can't use the whole line, if it works better for you, as long as it includes the words 'so hard', we'll be able to tick those two off the list.

I've added all the newly claimed titles to my list ready for the next page.

Thanks Lottie, but "So Hard" works well - different quiz from what I was planning for "Evening"

I have an idea which I think I can make work for 'Soon I'll Be', so I'll put a claim on that while I do more research.

"All You've Got to Do is Call Lord" has been submitted. Now I will tackle "When You're Down", taking 'When you're' off the list.

Updated missing / recommend list (this is getting difficult):

* Think of Me (Phantom of the Opera?)
* Baby, to see you again (Celebs: Couples that divorced and remarried)
* I'll be There (Music or Geo?)
The Sky Above You Should Turn Dark (Weather or Religion: End Times)
* Soon I'll Be
* Well
You Let Them (maybe History or Sports?)
To See You Again
(And) You Know (General Mixed)
Hey Now (?)
All You've Got To Do Is Call (Business: stock market or Tech: telephone)
When Times get Rough (History)
When You're Down (Depression, Valleys, marine depths)
* When Evening Falls
* So Hard (?)
* I Will Comfort You

Of the missing words, only "and" and "the" are freebies. Everything else must be covered. (The idea of the free words is to avoid awkward titles such as a lone "and" or "the").

Knocking upon your door is listed as completed, Wes. I'm working on the first part of the line and it will be done.
