[Solved]Puzzle Train, Lv 0+. Lasts 7 days from start. [ENDED]

Closed

Today, reached level 6. That's it. Just wanted to say it out aloud. Has absolutely nothing to do with the below listed puzzle. So don't waste time thinking about it. There, I have warned you.

Anyway, here's a small train in celebration of... well, I guess the end/start of an era, maybe?

   The moon is high, in the sky as the sun sleeps on the other side                    - 1(A)
   It feels like a perfect night, yet that night was somehow better                    - 1*2(B)
   I didn't know what I would find, when I slept underneath that sky that night but    - 1(C)
   Looking at it now, years later it truly was a wonderous sight                       - 2(D)
   And it's a sad picture, but nostalgic too as I recall that moment lost to time      - 3(E)

Yes, this is admittedly harder than my first try at a puzzle, hence the week long time. But who knows, might just be easier for some.

Lo behold, the carts -
Pure Farming 2018
Ciel Fledge: A Daughter Raising Simulator
Rebel Galaxy
Extinction: Deluxe Edition
Guilty Gear Isuka
Death end re;Quest
Them and Us

Overall, nothing too exciting here I know, but what can you do? Best of luck.

p.s.
Remember, as always, you should check this guide for info if you are unfamiliar with some of the puzzles used in SG -

reserved for hints and solution.

hint 1
So a part of each of the five lines of the puzzle share a common background, with the rest of the line being superfluous, to sow confusion.
What you need to figure out is what these parts are and then find what is common among them (it's not just single words but parts of the line), which will give you an answer for each of the lines from which you can get the characters for the first cart in the train.
If you are having trouble finding the what's the common factor otoh, take a look at the post again as it hides a pretty big clue as what it is - might not be obvious at first glance but shouldn't be too hard either.
For those who are still confused, maybe take another look at the guide?

That's all for now and best of luck!

hint 2
it's the first part of each line - i.e., the words before the comma in each line that share the common background. also try to solve the puzzle from the other direction, i.e., try to find what the common factor between these 5 lines are, as it's meant to be solved in that way. once you find what is the common factor, the rest shouldn't take more than a few minutes of google. as stated in the earlier hint, take a look at the entire post again, including this one if needed, to find the common factor.

~~p.s.~~
~~also, can anyone tell me how the hell do you use emojis - i have been borrowing them from other discussions which means i can't always find an appropriate one...~~

~~edit - removed a emoji and expanded the hint further.~~

SOLUTION

Alright, here's the solution -

The first part of each line in the fake poem are all the first lines/parts of Taylor Swift songs. After you have the song titles for the five lines, simply take the characters according to the numbers posted beside them and then rearrange them as shown in the original post. Additional details -
Paper Rings
22
The Outside
Out of the Woods
Change

Of course, you weren't supposed to get it, unless you were a huge fan which is where the clue came in.

Take the first capital letter from each new paragraph in the discussion post and it spells the name of the artist. Of course, it was still very difficult to guess with just this information which is why the first hint had the title of the artist, listed in the same manner.

That's all. Thanks for playing.
