Q4-5-6-8-12 left. Just saw that hints countdown resets, so I'll wait for yours.
Loving the puzzle and the songs list, so far. I'm really curious about Q8.

like a prequel all along the watchtower...
I'm lost. I don't know if the hint just makes a reference to the name of the song, how it sounds (in that case, there are a few versions), the composer, the lyrics or just the biblical event :/. Too many options that make sense...
Would you say it's the hardest, at least?
PS: Take this, so you can play too: What I'm about to say because of that damn Q5 :P
Comment has been collapsed.
yes, I think that may be the hardest, that band is lesser known if compared to all the others

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner.. well, maybe that's because it's true..
ok..
so, well, why are we here? I reached lvl 7 quite some time ago (it was maybe almost Xmas? I really can't remember..) and now I would like to maintain the status quo. Very little is needed for this, that's why I decided to create a nice puzzle for all of you with a nice (well, I think so... lvl4 by the way) giveaway to test your luck.
Obviously I really don't have to remind you that any answer or link sharing/leaking it's ABSOLUTELY forbidden and will be punished severely.
If needed, I'll put some more hints here, but for now, have a poll!
TL;DR shame on you, go back and read ಠ_ಠ
