DoTheDaringDew has been a notable musician in the fandom for quite some time. To commemorate everything he has achieved in the past decade, DTDD reworked every single song he made in that span in the new, jam-packed, 40-song album: Reflections.
(Continued after the break)
Warning: This Song has NSFW and heavy suggestive lyrics and themes. Head down below the break if you’re okay with that.
A love letter to Chrysalis in the form of a parody of Chevelle’s Send the Pain Below, Tender Horn Does Glow sees Stallionslaughter sing his appreciation for the queen of the hive and… oviposition? Oh my. He even goes harder vocally than the original during the bridge, even adding a few extra screams towards the end! Feels good to have him back.
Originally pre-released on VibePoniez, this beauty part of The Rest of Our Lives is starring Evdog’s charismatic vocals, singing about the impact that the Magic of Friendship had on our lives. With loving references to ponies in the lyrics, and such an emotional instrumental completing the vocals so well, it is one of the many tributes included in the compilation album!
The opener track of the new tribute compilation album The Rest of Our Lives is itself a tribute to And the Rainfall and works as a spiritual successor to the song Tulips! There’s just so much heart poured in this breathtaking piece of more than 7 minutes and you can feel the love from all of the musicians who contributed, in both the music and the video that I recommend watching along the song! With deep quotes and Background Pony inspiration, sweet feelings giving birth to creative musical endeavors, and meaningful visuals, this masterpiece and joint effort is certainly a timeless gem!
Vivix has such an appreciated signature Alt. Rock sound and every time he releases a new pony song it’s always a bliss! Sanctuary is all about Zephyr Breeze’s character depth and it’s such an interesting theme to go for. It makes this song quite deep, all while feeling so underground!
Time seems to slow down when you’re in love, as Stop the Clocks has demonstrated. This soft yet powerful rock track about Lyra and BonBon has plenty of heart in the vocals and guitar, blending acoustic and soft electrics together with finesse. Those loving lyrics will never leave your head!
PrinceWhateverer my friends doesn’t just make hard hitting headbangers all the time. He also has the knack for making heart warming rock and roll from time to time. Odds against us, tells the story of Retro City, A song commissioned for a friend’s OC. Retro is fighting her own demons that stand in her way of becoming a wonderbolt. But she is not alone. Prince wonderfully has put a tune together that tells fell good tale of over coming the odds. The lyric may be talking about Retro’s bound with Spitfire and how she doesn’t have to take this on alone. But message could be anyone’s fight for there dreams. The guitars, drums and composition are all there in Prince’s style to aid in in telling this tale. We all need to smile right now with chaos going on in the world. Feel good tales are needed. As always This Qilin askes you to judge for yourself
After a 3 year hiatus, TheSoundGuy returns with a rock cover of My Past is Not Today! The crunchy guitars and powerful drums give the song a different texture, further adding to the optimistic tone that the original brought us. Check out that powerful lead towards the end!

Hackamore shows up every now and again with touch-ups of old classics. This most recent compilation album is an interesting take on several well-known originals from when they went by Jeff Burgess. The instrumentals have undergone a noticeable improvement, but that’s not what you’ll notice about this album. twilight sparkle you got some bad ideas appears to be an increasingly drunken Fern trying to remember the lyrics to old hits and laughing over memories of performing them live.
Of the songs on the album, many are renamed for the joke based on recognizable tracks like Aphelion (we are all luna on the moon), Beyond the Rainbow (doctor scootaloo), Chaos is My Lullaby (discord), and of course Manehattan Nights (manehattan). In addition to the retouches of originals, Hackamore included a cover of well-known classic The Rescue by Cherax Destructor.
If you’re looking for something between a stroll down memory lane and a meme-type post, then this album is up your alley.
