Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I thought I'd make the first one the easiest!
"I've never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through, another season
Passes by you
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's some desperate way to look for someone who is still a child."
2. See if you know this movie-inspired one...
"Hey ma, hey pa
Look at me standing tall
Brother, sister
Look at them bad guys fall."
3. Personally I like this one's anology about El Dorado and I hope you do too:
"I know there is no need for what's been done
I know there is enough for everyone
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
And there's never been a hand
Did we ever have it good?
While we lived in El Dorado
Did we find the gold we should?"
4. Can you tell me the name of this one?
"I've seen too much of what fighting has done
I've seen too much anger and I've seen it far too young
And talk will come to nothing while the shouting still goes on
But we are only singers and too many songs are sung."
5. This song is good both live and studio but if you haven't heard the live one yet I strongly recommend it!
"I'm gonna find it
I'm gonna prove it
Show the whole damn world how to use it
When I find it
When I prove it
I know that some damn fool is gonna lose it."
6. You may not get this one, it's one of the harder ones, but at least you tried so be proud.
"I was waiting, I was watching
Would it ever be before me
And I found that hope and a lucky card
Were all I had to walk with me."
7. Pity lyrics never let one hear the music or feel the song's atmosphere...
"The eagle soars above the clouds
The deer ran into the hills
And I may walk in cities
Where the wolf once had his fill."
8. I tried to make this one the hardest to guess by reading the four choices provided.
"I'm grateful for the company
Tired of talking to myself
Don't you look into my eyes
You might see someone else."
9. Quite a depessing song, nevertheless very enjoyable. I sound contradictory, I know.
"He came like a hero from the factory floor
With the sun and moon as gifts
But the only son you ever saw
Were the two he left you with."
10. It may be hard to identify this song without its music but have a go anyway.
"Stones will stand together as if searching for the stars
And all come crashing down again before they reach too far
She turned to face the setting sun, I turned to walk away
But then she called my name again and beckoned me to stay.
All this will pass
All things must pass
Just as I tell you here."
11. I wanted to reproduce more of this song but its title (or titles) would have appeared too often. (Is that a clue?)
"And you may fight or you may run
For what was fast is now undone."
12. Another song better heard with the music too.
"Who saw the fences falling
Who broke the ploughman's bread
Who heard the winter calling
Who wore the tailors thread."
13. This song on the other hand is just as good without the music.
"[Song Title] will you show to me
The bond between the land and sea?
For I am new to mystery
I want everything laid out for me."
14. I hope you haven't found this quiz to be full of Big Country songs you haven't heard before. If so this one's for you...
"Between a father and a son
Between the city and the one
Before the teacher and the test
Before the journey and the rest."
15. This song is different from all the others in the quiz. Do you know why?
"Isn't it a shame when a man loses all direction
Ain't it just the way to lose your soul
Isn't it a shame when a love won't make a connection
And you've seen love on a better day.
Your wasted dreams your broken heart
Those never ends and started starts
Your star that shone so high and free
The glory days that let you be."
