80s vibes for days. Track 20 from Vylet’s Love Letters: Colourless – as well as the closing track – this one showcases some of her most powerful vocal work to date, which works well given the subject matter. As is tradition with most of the songs from the album, it’s accompanied with a diary note from Rainbow Dash, this one detailing her frustration with friendship and how she feels now that she can no longer stay in contact with Rarity. All this, alongside Nontree‘s contributions, make for a cathartic yet satisfying song to jam out to.

[P@D] Wandering Artist – The End of Seasons (ft. Velvet R. Wings) | Soundtrack
Wandering Artist was born to make beautiful soundtrack pieces like this one. Track 70 from Ponies at Dawn: Eternal, we have a beautifully relaxing piece that could easily be a fitting soundtrack to a long trek through a massive landscape. The beautiful orchestral instruments coupled with the talented Velvet R. Wings‘ voice as the song takes on various phases all mesh together well to create a brilliant tribute to the show that brought us all together, as well as yet another brilliant addition to the P@D family.
VocalScorePony – The Magic of Friendship Grows (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Acoustic
Now that thee series finale has come and passed. We finally get to see some wonderful takes on our very last song. VocalScorePony has poured their soul into their cover of this song and the emotion is spot on and the way the choruses come forth and recede is fantastic. The climax of the song with its chorale of voices hits home so well and if it hasn’t been made clear already. The ‘end’ isn’t the end of the story; Its the beginning of the new chapter!
Sertrixy – Everlight | Progressive House
If there’s one thing progressive house musicians are great at, it’s creating intense atmosphere, and this beautiful piece is an example of why. This track has a handful of different phases, starting off with a brilliant plucked melody alongside vocal samples from the show before quickly building up to an uplifting chorus with a synth line that just oozes positivity. Half-way through, the song winds down for a bit with a soft bassline and more vocal chops, giving the whole thing a heavenly vibe. It’s almost as if their voices were made for this kind of music. Don’t miss out on this one, folks!
Suskii – Daybreaker (Vylet Pony cover) | Post-Hardcore
Suskii’s back with more of his newfound guitar-driven heaviness, and this time it’s a cover of Vylet Pony‘s Daybreaker! This rendition is a much heavier take on the original with punchy drums, powerful screams and infectious harmonies. A nice take on Vylet’s own track, definitely on par with the original!
Daniel Ingram – The Magic of Friendship Grows (ShobieShy Remix) | House
ShobieShy remixed the finale’s song to our greatest delight, using his newfound proficiency at House music! The original vocals are resonating so brightly all over the track, and make for renewed emotion along the lovely melodies and punchy beats. Thank you for this Shobie!!
Daniel Ingram – The Magic of Friendship Grows (Faulty Remix) | Progressive House
Complete with a heartfelt PMV, this all-around very lovely remix by Faulty is paying much tribute to the last song of the show, with the bright atmosphere, uplifting melodies, and clean beats chanting far and wide about the emotions we felt during the finale, and calling fellow bronies to keep the fire of passion burning! We definitely will!
[P@D] RKDM – Calibrate | Glitch-Hop
Track 14 of the fresh off the presses compilation album Ponies at Dawn: Eternal is RKDM’s electro contribution, Calibrate! This one features their typical style of glitch hop with all their familiar elements, namely vocal chops from the show, brilliant synth melodies and powerful bass sounds of many kinds. A great addition to an already great album!
Night Blaze – Unknown Heroes | Orchestral
Night Blaze is on a roll with their tributes focusing on MLP lore! This time, some love is sent to the unsung heroes such as Canterlot’s Royal Guard who always do their best to protect the land and the princesses. A short yet rich and progressive Orchestral composition is doing wonders at depicting the intensity of the moment painted in that artwork, and I’m excited to hear what other treats Night Blaze will have in store for us in the future!
Rouge Angel – Transcendence | Ambient Metalcore
A personal tribute to MLP in the form of an Ambient Metalcore masterpiece of much emotion, Transcendence stars epic guitars and drums in a somehow chill atmosphere, blending rock music instruments with reflective vibes for a most beautiful result! Read the description for more details about what this song means to the musician!
