4everfreebrony brings us another awesome cover, this time a Vylet Pony track! This cover adds a new and unique rock spin on the original, with both acoustic and electric guitar, drums and other rock elements setting the track aside from the original in an amazing way.
Acoustic
Ardeleiz – Solelh-còlc | Acoustic
A new treat from Ardeleiz has come out, and it is a delicate Tia inspiered acoustic guitar solo. The title in Occitan translates to “sunset”, and indeed it makes you feel as if you were sitting by the sea, basking in the last amber to scarlet rays of Celestia’s light, waiting for her to gently lower the sun, as gently as the mellow melodies coming from the music itself. The composition is centered around a catchy main theme with variations all the way through. Go check it out if you want to soothe your soul, and admire the blissful art from WolfieDrawie.

Damien Nagy – Salvation | Soundtrack
Another OST track used for Damien’s MP3 Saga “Erebys” and composed by Damien himself, this song is not only providing a BGM accompaniment to the scene, but enacts the dialogue as well with beautiful vocals sung in French. We don’t often get French songs in the community, so this is very welcome! The second episode of the MP3 Saga is out, by the way!
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!
Damien Nagy – Thème de Windskyed (Windskyed’s Theme) | Soundtrack
Part of the OST of their MP3 Saga titled Erebys, this character theme for Windskyed in their youth is very soothing and definitely reflects that calm atmosphere of the moment so well with wind instruments and an acoustic guitar too!
Burning Halo – Goodbye | Acoustic
Among the recent tributes to MLP in light of the show ending, Burning Halo wrote a lovely song to say express his own feelings on the matter, and those bright vocals definitely do wonders to bring in the emotion along the comfy and heart-warming guitar performance!
4everfreebrony – Loyalty (Covering AcoustiMandoPony) | Rock
4everfree brings a fandom classic back to the forefront in his new cover album, Copycat. Acoustic Brony & MandoPony’s “Loyalty” has left its mark on the community for years and has had no shortage of covers and remixes. What makes 4everfree’s take so special is how faithful it is to the original, paying its due homages with a very raw, rock style. However, he manages to give the record a whole new breath of life with his own styles and nuances. This is especially evident in the way 4everfree plays out the iconic midsection solo; it’s so familiar yet completely new.
Eurobeat Brony – Luna (Rod Steven Acoustic Remix) | Acoustic Ballad
An oldie but a goodie, Rod Steven has remixed Luna; A staple in the fandom and this version of the song gives a more laid back and infectious mood to the piece. Mellow rolling acoustic harmonies following a bright piano and the all too familiar vocals, This ballad-esque re-imagining is great to unwind to and harken back to yesteryear.
Voodoo Pup & Destiny Howard – I Think You’d Be Proud | Country
Voodoo Pup is a recent face in the fandom’s music scene, as this is his first original tune based on the show. To help out, he’s enlisted the talents of singer Destiny Howard, who sings beautifully here. The song is a calm country number based on The Perfect Pear from the perspective of Applejack, singing about her parents, and how – if they were still around – she hopes they’d be proud of her for how far she and the rest of her family have come. I can tell you for a fact that we are!
