So everypony today we’re back with Faulty and 4EverfreeBrony and another amazing track from “Eclipse“. This one is all about Twilight and the life that has been taken from her as she became an immortal alicorn. The track starts out with a progressive House beat by Faulty giving it a nice intro instead of immediately throwing lyrics at us. But when 4EB’s amazing voice joins in, you’re immediately grasped by the lyrics, which talk all about Twilight wanting to be part of mainstream life again and not just sitting on a throne in Canterlot trying to be as good a leader as she can. For the end we again get to hear only the beat.
As always huge thanks to thecanderson, for proofreading!

StealingShad3z – Cross State Letters | Acoustic Pop
So everypony today we’ve got a song that had me honestly up for days trying to think of a way to write about it. In conclusion: I can’t really do this song justice, so you should definitely listen to it yourself. The song is a love letter to Shad3z’ girlfriend, and the combination of acoustic pop and the sweet and lovely lyrics make for a romantic combination that has yet to be topped. Shad3z acknowledges how difficult life can be when it seems like the world is burning and society is collapsing, but having a special somepony can help you keep perspective and realize that it is all temporary. Over all those clouds is a rainbow, and together you’ll make it through.

CAPT – Detective Rarity??? | Electronica
CAPT started a new series going in the direction of spontaneous tributes to specific things from episodes and experimenting musically too! This first track about the very appreciated return of Detective Rarity in that one Pony Life episode is certainly having the series off to a great start, with Rarity’s antics accompanied by some tasty sounds and Electronic experimentation!
Sound Bandit & Friends (My Band) – The Song | Indie Pop / Alternate Electronic
A collab of no less than 34 musicians, this band’s new song was organized by Sound Bandit for the latest DustCar race calling for collabs, and boy did it deliver! The emotional vibes from both the instrumental and the vocals are palpable, and everypony felt that during the stream party of the race. Find the credits and links to all of the contributing musicians as well as the lyrics here!
RedSpark – Legacy | Orchestral
Spontaneous fan works about specific characters or themes from the show are so awesome!! RedSpark wins our hearts once again with a composition dedicated to the passing of power from Celestia to Twilight, and for a track made in such a short amount of time it sure it sounding amazing!!
Koron Korak – A Light Among Despair | Orchestral
Finding the light back at the end of the tunnel can be tough and can take a lot of time, but Koron seems to be off to a great new start after that difficult experience! Vent art is definitely good to help you cope with it too, and if it can be of any indication, the sheer magnificence of this track using violin and choirs is showing the might of creativity under such circumstances.
Japkozjad – Oh my… WAIT | Electronica
Simple yet effective, this laid-back Fluttercomposition is making use of vocal samples of the not-so-shy-anymore pegasus over some Reggae vibes, and the melodies are quite lovely too!
Ocean Melody – Waltz of the Stars | Lyre Solo
Paying tribute to Lyra from the acclaimed fanfic Background Pony some more, Ocean Melody treats us to a new waltz under the stars (giving me FF8 vibes with that title), expressing gratitude in the description as well for the occasion of Thanksgiving!
OnlyJustCrazy – Spiked Punch (Far Out, Dude) | Electro
OnlyJustCrazy/DnBeanie closes their Mane 6 & Spike series with an appreciated song about our dragon friend, taking an interesting approach… The song is blending cute melodies with Trap vibes so well, and it’s a combo that works well for this concept!
[P@D] John Kenza – Remember | Progressive Trance
So, everypony, for our next “Eclipse” track we’ve got John Kenza’s “Remember”–5 minutes of purely awesome Progressive Trance. The song gives off this video game-y vibe that immediately reminded me of the amazing times I have had with my friends playing all kinds of games, so I would say that if creating a sense of nostalgia is the goal then this song accomplishes that right out of the gate. But enough of me just rambling on–let’s get to this beauty of a track. The song, as I mentioned before, starts out on a video game-y beat and melody with an understated backing melody creating a little extra atmosphere until, without warning, it gets even more awesome by launching into a high energy, all-out beat. Then, suddenly, the music fades out. Surprise! A wild piano solo appears! I have seen piano solos used in the middle of EDM tracks more and more over time, and it is an amazing addition! After the piano plays its last note a beat begins that’s similar to the one before, and it really puts the progression into Progressive Trance. After that we get a buildup where you can actually hear the first notes of a new, third beat, and sweet Celestia the third one goes all out! It’s happy and upbeat, it has a melody that fits perfectly to the synth, and the drum loop is catchy as well. The outro with a ticking clock signals that you have reached the end of an amazing journey through your memories. I highly enjoyed the trip myself, and I hope that you will enjoy your own journey as you listen to this song!
As always thanks to thecanderson for making sure my writing actually makes sense!
