So "We Go On" was a success...
meaning...
we'll do it again.
Of course, we'll use two new songs.
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:
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!

Can we possibly find a volunteer (preferably not an editor :) ) to update a claims list every time we hit a new page? It would likely be very helpful for players to decide what they want to write. Reply #43. Jan 12 23, 3:38 PM |

Is this the sort of thing you had in mind, Wes? That Old North Wind Should Begin to Blow – Lottie – online They'll Take Your Soul – Kyle – claimed Troubled Water – Spanishliz – online nothing is going right – upstart – claimed I'll come running – KayceeKool – claimed friends just can't be found – Cmdrk – claimed Sail on, silver girl – 1nn1 – claimed Sailing Right Behind – LauraMc – claimed Winter, spring, summer, or fall – Triviaballer – online I will dry them all – Catreona – claimed see how they shine – Wes – online You just call out my name – BigTriviaDawg – claimed Oh, When Darkness Comes – looney_tunes – online When you're on the street – Stoaty – claimed Dreams are on their way – Lordprescott – claimed Reply #44.

That should be 'go on with this'. I think it's time I went to bed - it's late here! Reply #47. Jan 12 23, 7:25 PM |

Thanks, Lottie, that is helpful. Hope you get plenty of sleep. :) Reply #48. Jan 12 23, 7:33 PM |

Lottie, you don't need to include the online ones that have been made bold in the header - which will soon save a lot of time! What is really helpful is a list of what has been claimed but not yet online, so we don't have to scroll through the whole thing to check. Now that there is a list, it can be copied and pasted, before having the necessary deletions and additions made. One page of changes at a time is not that hard, and anyone could do it now that you have provided a start. For which, many thanks. :) Reply #49. Jan 12 23, 8:31 PM |

Sorry, ponycargirl. I didn't mean to miss you off the list, but I've added you now, so it won't get missed on the next page. Reply #53. Jan 13 23, 2:48 PM |
