Paying tribute to the “We saved the world” celebration song from EQG4 the Progressive House way, NeoN serves us with a shining remix of Legend You Are Meant To Be, accompanying our beloved characters’ gorgeous vocals with a gentle beat, an inspired progression and synths full of the magic of Friendship. Certainly a happy extension of the movie!

4everfreebrony – Smell The Roses | Acoustic Pop
A new song from the talented and genuine 4everfreebrony is always a big moment, and this new song is special in the way it conveys a very important positive message about life. Behind the soft guitar, gentle drums, moving piano and beautiful vocals, lies a powerful meaning about a simple truth that can hopefully remind to many how to find solace in a dark moment : just go to the nearest garden, smell a rose, and be happy in that present moment of appreciation. Incidentally, I listened to this song right after I was trying to cheer up a friend who was in depression, failing to see anything positive in this world anymore. So the line from the description “a song I wrote about remembering the beauty of our planet during hard and confusing times” was really striking at that moment. I’d wish people to feel content with life even while only having flowers to find happiness from. Living for a flower… for the beauty of Nature… yes, that sounds like quite a sufficient reason to live indeed! We may get blinded at times, but there’s always a new chance to get up and look at all the wonderful things around us in this life, and music is certainly one of them. Much love to you all who are reading this, stay safe! And Smell The Roses!
Metapony – Moment of Serenity | Progressive House
Metapony is back to delight us with a new blissful track embodying the many wonders of Nature, using the power of Progressive House along the serenity from the cover art by Shamanguli to provide a powerful yet accurately chill and awe-inspiring musical experience, where the melodic rythms, gentle beat and beautiful sounds all soothe the soul in tranquility and emotion, creating this Moment of Serenity.
Steely Hooves – Mare of Constant Sorrow | Acoustic / Folk
Yes, that’s a ponification of Man of Constant Sorrow. Yes I absolutely love that Steely’s done this. It’s a simple version, performed just with voice and acoustic guitar, like the version from the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? Keeping it simple sometimes works out for the best, and it certainly does so here.
ertrii – Perfect Day | Drum & Bass
Hey, that artwork looks familiar… Don’t let the genre label deceive you, it’s still got ertrii’s signature chill vibe to it, just at a much faster tempo than usual. Short but sweet, this song does seem to encapsulate the essence of the artwork used in the form of sound.
cuberoot – A Type of Party | Electro House
Another new song from fandom newbie cuberoot, this time an original piece with a more energetic feel than their last remix. Great supersaw chords and leads give this track that classic electro house vibe.
Sights Unseen – Lullaby | Synthpop
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 9 November 2016.
Starting out with some haunting vocal choir-like harmonies, an ominous bassline soon rolls in, signifying that this is certainly not an especially happy song. Whilst it feels quite dark, I think the intended tone of this track is one of accepting that it’s okay to say goodbye. This is translated well with a transition later in the track towards more uplifting and yet sorrowful chords. Definitely a cool track from Sights, and well worth checking out if you want something bittersweet.
Strigidae – Butterfly Zyner (Remaster) | Indie Dance
Strigidae’s masterpiece, Butterfly Zyner, gets a much welcomed remaster in which we get to dive once more in unique and gorgeous vocals, mellow instrumental and tender backstory and lyrics, in a renewed experience of sound. Glim Glam is such a big cutie!
DJRedSkY – Moving on | Deep House
In continuation from the last post which was about Luna’s Breaking Point as she became Nightmare Moon, this new Deep House track from DJRedSkY enacts in musical format her repentance and acceptance, Moving On. Perfectly reflecting the peace of mind conveyed by the gorgeous artwork by Viwrastupr used as the cover art, the track takes us for a blissful voyage among crystalline sounds and melodies.
Reverbrony – Breaking Point | Metal
In pure spirit of rock music, Reverbrony delivers a new honest Metal piece full of delightfully heavy riffs and expressions of lunar frustration, along lyrics brought to life by none other than himself on the vocals. Let’s cheer for an encore!
