It’s always so amazing to see pony musicians trying to do more with their songs than just “making music”, and I gotta love to see NeverLastStanding’s descriptions full of genuine feelings, motivational messages, or poesy, depending on how you wish to see it. The power of being able to Relate to somepony is definitely great and I know it very well, since I always like to meet people who I can relate to, and also always wish to meet someone who could relate to me. It’s definitely a deep theme, and perhaps some motivation can be obtained from NeverLastStanding’s words or the experience of this song. If so, be sure to let him know, as I’m sure that will make him very happy! After all, I can Relate to wanting to help people… And I can’t believe all of this review has only been about the meaning behind the song so far. This is powerful stuff! You know that a song is extra special when you can write about its meaning just as much as about it musically. I’ll just add that the Chillout/Orchestral take is definitely a huge success, with such a wonderful and soothing mood to be felt throughout the track, and the Flutterchops are the element that makes it extra emotional and relatable for so many of us.

Faulty – Be With You | Progressive House
Heartfelt songs are the best, and isn’t it wonderful when it holds a personal meaning too? Faulty’s first original track certainly shines bright from the power of passion and gratitude, and it is with a happy and meaningful Archie-like Progressive House vibe that many feelings are shared in an upbeat and positive way. Amazing both musically and in its message, Be With You makes you feel right at home in this wonderful community.
Virus Ponies – Different | Electronic
Quite a Different release from Virus Ponies, this new track brings a delightful dark mood much fitting to the cover art, and pioneers in roads less travelled to create a chill yet heavy and strong musical experience. Darkness isn’t to be feared…
Night Blaze – The Sisters | Soundtrack
A wonderful surprise full of progressive greatness, this new piece from Night Blaze in tribute to the alicorn sisters builds a strong instrumental blending many genres and making for an unique OST-like track. Orchestral instruments, but also guitars including a bass, drums, and those synths melodies that are so reminiscing of J-RPG Soundtrack. The part at 4:46 is especially epic and emotional for me. Definitely a masterpiece, and a magnificent tribute to Celestia and Luna!
Ponytronic – Faint Kisses | Orchestral
The intro track of the upcoming Missed Hearts LP, Faint Kisses reflects Ponytronic’s exploration of the Orchestral genre just as much as it reflects Vinyl and Tavi’s exploration of how far their feelings for each other will take them. As mellow as Equestrian love, the piece softly delivers a blissful musical experience that melts the heart with tender plucks that embody the love so well. Perhaps the track itself is the embodiment of what an expression of love through Faint Kisses feels like…
Skelter – Sombra | Trap
With each release, I’ve always loved to see what kind of new piece Skelter had in store for us, and it is an honor for me to finally be able to write up their debut feature on HMH. The first of many I hope! This solid Trap tune reflecting the villainous ways of King Sombra certainly is a very fine piece, and it hits hard and fiercely while bringing all the sick synths and beats!
SlightlyAmiss – Beyond Time and Space | Acoustic
It’s never too late to make a heartfelt tribute to a character you love, and we are delighted to get a wonderful Acoustic piece from SlightlyAmiss dedicated to Derpy and her fan-cherished relationship with Doctor Whooves. Beautiful and genuine acoustic guitars and even piano lull the sweet couple to a tender cuddling moment as the lovely vocals sing to a strong and lasting bond, Beyond Time and Space. I just love to see this kind of fan songs the most!
Mantlegen – Reconstruction (Einarx Devastate EP Mashup) | Dubstep
Emotional heavy electronic mashup masterpiece ahead, everypony! Available on the Magnus Festa Vol.2 album, it samples tracks from Einarx‘s awesome Devastate EP, to create an original mashup of many wonders. Quite intense, it re-sublimates the pony vocal chops and even Chrysalis’ voice, as well as many instrumental parts from Einarx’s heavy bangers. The result is nothing short of breathtaking and doesn’t fail to trigger powerful emotions too as we witness the power of music, Passion and ponies once more.
Reverbrony – The Devil’s Groove | Groove Metal
It’s not often that we’re getting pony Groove Metal, and it sure is a feast as Reverbrony unleashes his talent and creativity once again to treat us with a heavy and delightful musical experience! Empowering the epic battle from the cover art with even more epicness, the track relentlessly amazes with successive masterful guitar riffs providing a powerful progression with even a guitar solo in the last part, and an incredible drums play that is equally heavy. Another masterpiece from Reverbrony!
Cloud Hop – Twilight’s Star | Orchestral
Brace yourself everypony, because you’re in for one hay of a ride! Especially if you check the other songs on Cloud Hop’s channel, because some outstanding gems await you. Twilight’s Star is a much contemplative Night track, bringing a comfy yet powerful mood, and laying out starry Orchestral greatness that is as beautiful as it is enthralling. From Cloud Hop, I also especially recommend to check out the track Tantabus, it’s my personal favorite from the musician and it is just a track to leave you speechless!
