Rusty’s back with a new unique-sounding song and this one is about the end of the world! “Happy tunes with depressing lyrics” is but a facet of the originality of the music and to Rusty’s signature vocals is added a fun instrumental using unusual sounds for a resulting track of a kind you probably haven’t heard often. Expressing youself through music is another aspect of its magic!

Osoch – Open Up Your Eyes (Сovering Daniel Ingram) | Metal
Osoch’s on a roll, and he went all-out with this cover of Open Up Your Eyes that is my favorite cover of that very emotional song from the movie. Displaying mighty Metal vocals, as well as masterful guitar play and drums, it covers the original so beautifully and powerfully even in the hardest parts. As for the “backstory” part, it is interpreted here in such a blissful way reminding of Prog Rock. A masterpiece of a cover and a token of Osoch’s talent, who I’m sure will keep rising in the pony music scene!
Tridashie & Billy Rex – Pony Girl (feat. IMShadow007 & Brittney Ackerman) (Midnight Musician Remix) | House / Pop
Tridashie’s Barbie Girl ponification hit Pony Girl gets a much welcomed remix by Midnight Musician who does a great job at expanding the happy and nostalgic vibes of the original. Giving it an uplifting House accompaniment with a dash of retro feel, it makes you want to party and fly among the ponies in Equestria!
Sable Symphony – Rainbow (Covering Sia) | Pop Rock
The movie’s emotional finale song by Sia gets the special treatment from Sable Symphony who delivers a cover graced by his signature vocals. Staying true to the spirit of the original while still imprinting the cover with his own rocking spin, the musician displays a high vocal range and pays much tribute to a song that moved many of us, may it be from Sia’s gorgeous vocals or from the very deep and meaningful lyrics.
Zizkil – She Only Comes Out At Night | Drumstep / Glitch
Zizkil’s newest track is a Flutterbat-themed dark banger that strikes hard with stunning sound design and drops slashing through the night! Hiding a drop behind another, the track is surprising and blissful as it pays much tribute to Flutterbat in tasty and mighty musical ways. After Horse Music Herald, where will the bat pony strike next? I would be on the lookout tonight on a certain cider-brewing channel if I were you…
Miles Kintner – She Who Brings the Night | Piano Nocturne
Miles Kintner is back with an amazing Nocturne in tribute to the Princess of the Night. Graceful and emotional piano melodies lay out the path to another blissful and comforting night in company of the stars and lulled by Luna’s embrace.
Aelipse – Luna’s Rebirth (Reworked) | Orchestral
Aelipse’s masterpiece Luna’s Rebirth gets a reworked version that further pays tribute to MelodicPony and the Princess of the Night in all their glory with the Orchestral talent and vision the musician is know for. Fitting for a grand movie’s soundtrack, the song takes us through a truly magical journey where the music is creating divine sceneries and powerful emotions.
Filly in the Box – Swamp Pones | Neuro Hop
Exploring a Swamp-y jungle… that’s the kind of scene I can picture while listening to this new piece by Filly in the Box and display of the same exploration spirit but in musical endeavors. Bringing slick and tasty influences to the community, Filly delivers in style once again as charming melodies are accompanying many sound wonders of beats and wubs.
Elias Frost – Time to be Awesome (Сovering Daniel Ingram) | Metal
Elias’ second cover of a movie song pays tribute to the uplifting Time to be Awesome, that (spoiler alert) got Captain Celaeno and the other sky pirates to find back their will to be their true selves again. Those very aerial and “Airship-like” melodies are so beautifully covered here and hearing them in a brand new arrangement along Metal riffs is so blissful, and as always Elias’ vocals are rockin’ it!
Soren Ember – Jackie B. Goode (Johnny B. Goode Parody) (feat. Protocat) | Rock N’ Roll
Ponifications are always so awesome to get, and we can always count on Soren Ember to display his great Classic Rock taste, this time bringing a ponification of the ever-so-classic Johnny B. Goode. Inviting Protocat on the piano once again, Soren delivers a mighty cover with lovely Applejack-themed lyrics, and I like to imagine this being performed in one of the barns of Sweet Apple Acres, transformed into a modest concert hall for the occasion!

Soren Ember and Protocat return to amaze me with this rocking track! Parodying and making tribute to the great legend and innovator Chuck Berry (rest in peace), Soren and Protocat make a really dancing and awesome tribute. The track that talks about Applejack and Apple Acres, it’s really amazing, with a nice vocal performance and a great instrument performance by Soren and a great organ performance done by Protocat! Protocat and Soren knows dat Boogie Woogie! The lyrics re-invention to the pony theme was pretty well made, and then that guitar solos/riffs and the vocals are the thing that really overthrows everything on the song! Good job, both of you! Keep rocking the free world and keep making awesome tributes to great persons!
