Are you HYPE for G5 yet?! With the movie nearly upon us, this fantastic tune from Ocean Melody will definitely help you get there! The song opens with a gentle melody courtesy of strings and horns and goes through a lovely progression, adding bells and delicate percussion. There’s a nice passage where the arrangement mostly subsides to make way for some light drums, and it’s easy to imagine trotting through a sunny landscape, especially when the drums are combined with some light keys. The optimism and joy of this song is infectious and inspiring, so please give it a listen and get uplifted!
Nyancat380 – Falling Apart | Phonk
I always picture Nyancat380 working on these songs in a room full of classic horror movie props with a bunch of electricity zapping around, because they are an absolute mad genius. Opening with some vocal chops from “Sisterhooves Social”, the video tells a story through a series of pictures that the artist made themself set over live video footage (in the same vein as the fantastic “Clear My Head“). The melody is dark with a great hip-hop beat, the bass is exquisite, and the overall vibe is delightfully ominous and atmospheric. I love how perfectly the music matches the story as it progresses, and I can’t wait for the next installment!
Likonan – Celestia’s Riddle 2021 (The Riddle Parody) | Eurodance
(Click on “Watch on YouTube” to access the video, since embeds have been disabled for this video.)
Oh wow, I never thought I’d see a cover/parody of this song, but yet here we are! The original is an older classic that I used to listen to on loop, and this parody is just as good! Now, before I start tripping over my words in nostalgia, let’s get started with the instrumental: As you might expect it’s close to the original. In a lot of parts you can really hear the original, but if you remember what I’ve said back for the BlackIceMusic Remix of Anthropology, that isn’t a criticism but a compliment since you can also really hear that this is Likonan’s very own masterpiece. We get a chorus part that’s similar to the original, and then in other parts we get a more country sounding melody as both melodies alternate with a few different bits in between. I have to give thanks to Likonan for putting up the instrumental as a separate video (you can find it here) as it was a big help in evaluating and appreciating what makes this part of the song so amazing!
Now the lyrics: The lyrics are pony greatness! They match the flow of the original song nicely while being a nice tribute to the show. In the chorus sections we get references to the Mane Six and during the other parts there are references to some secondary characters!

Derek Spear – My Past Is Not Today (feat. MIKITANII) (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Metal
Who said that with G5 on the Horizon we couldn’t have some more fun with G4 classics! “My Past Is Not Today” has become a very important hashtag for the fandom, because we all made mistakes in the past and deserve to be seen for who we are today. Derek Spear’s guitar work combined with the awesome vocals of MIKITANII make for an amazing song that is an undeniable delight!
Big thanks to theCANderson for proofreading!
[PF] Skyshard – Onto Another Call of Destiny | Orchestral
Well, have I mentioned that Skyshard does amazing orchestral pieces? If not, let me do so now! “Onto Another Call of Destiny” is a wonderful piece dedicated to G5, and it’s full of the most beautiful strings, stunning drums, and so much more! I don’t make it a secret that I enjoy me some good orchestral music, but this blows everything else out of the water. No matter what you think of orchestral music, you will enjoy this!
Thanks once again to theCANderson for proofreading!
Assertive Fluttershy – Boooring (Aventrix Remix) | Drumstep / Drum & Bass
Ahhhhh, this is such a fun trip! Aventrix, who may or may not be remixing every track on this little album, is at it again (or isn’t) with this wonderful remix of an absolute classic! The lovely melody of the original really comes through here with a new vibe thanks to a pitch shift and Aventrix’s lovely synth additions and little touches that breathe a different kind of life into the song. Paired with a slick video, it’s an absolute joy of a track!
[ETC] Payyn – How to be Popular | Hardcore
A fantastically frantic twist on the song “Becoming Popular“, this track from the latest ETC album is a treat for any fan of intense music! Opening with a stripped down version of the melody, the song goes along merrily until it takes a sharp turn and descends into delightful distortion. What I especially enjoy about this track is how it takes such an elegant song delivered by a pony who is the epitome of grace, straps a couple of rockets to it, and sends it screaming down the tracks. Awesome.
BGM Pony Degeneracy – Fluttersad | Synthpop
(That title comes from the filename of the downloaded song from the description)
This song might make you cry! With the help of TalkNet, one of the musicians from 4chan made such a wonderful and emotional song where Fluttershy is singing to anon about the regrets she has. “I just wanted to be your mare.” That line alone is just taking me straight to where I want to belong in this community!! Thank you to the musician for this, and shout-out to all the passionate bronies on /mlp/! (If you read this, consider submitting a song to Pony Family, made precisely to showcase pony initiatives like these! Wink!)
Love, love everywhere!
Thunder Dash – Heart To Heart | Piano Solo
Thunder Dash is continuing the spirit of FiM episodes with these releases!! Check out the new amazing moral and message in the description, and get ready to melt upon these sweet and cuddly melodies on the piano! That this is all an improv, is both impressive and very lovely!
GeekBrony & Drummershy – Last Tempest (feat. Vylet Pony) (Tw3Lv3 Remix) | Halftime / Neurofunk
Today we’ve got ourselves another banger from the amazing Tw3Lv3! The song “Last Tempest” is a few years old now, but that didn’t stop her from transforming it into this angry sounding, Neurofunk masterpiece. We start this track with a beat that slowly builds up until it hits us like a ton of bricks, and then the song ramps up to an amazing drop. After that we get this slower beat with slightly muffled lyrics, which creates a really good atmosphere for this song, before we return once more to the build up and drop and an awesome instrumental section. For the next drop we get a bit of a different melody, and afterwards we get a DnB-sounding part before the song slowly fades out.
