Here’s a very sweet and tasteful Acoustic cover of the Dazzlings’ Under Our Spell, full of gorgeous vocals and a cool range of acoustic instruments! Przewalski’s Ponies are a pony band that has also covered this song live and here’s the recording! I also recommend their original pony song (My Life as a) Teenage Wonderbolt!

Mane In Green – Eat Your Soup | Orchestral
An interlude in the story of Mane In Green’s series “The Quest of the Lost Sapphire” (latest episode here), this orchestration of the second movement of Beethoven’s Pathétique Sonata brings the perfect regal and tender atmosphere to depict this side part of the story happening to the backup party members (or eidolons, depending on the headcanon) in Canterlot while the main party is traveling to Saddle Arabia (and experiencing an unfortunate shipwreck). Isn’t Luna just the sweetest? Also, this orchestration was led on piano by our beloved Octavia with an additional performance by the Royal Canterlot Philharmonic Orchestra. Yes, you can always count on Mane In Green for extra immersion and pony spirit!

Tracklist and embeds available after the break
Forest Rain – Dashie’s Mom (Button’s Mom Parody) (feat. ZetaPony & Rosie Posie) | Alternative Rock
I’ve been wishing for this to happen ever since I fell in love with Dashie’s mom, and Forest Rain & Friends made it happen. It was truly only a matter of time until Pony1Kenobi’s classic got adapted to Windy Whistles’ charm and especially in light of her rocketing popularity among the community. Now it’s finally time to rock out to our new anthem definitely full of talent and awesome rocking vibes, as we passionately browse Derpibooru or other image boards in search of more Windy Whistles material and fine art.
Evdog – Theme Song (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Acoustic
Here’s an honest, passionate, and totally magical cover of our beloved Theme Song by Evdog. With guitar in hands, he went to pay tribute to the show with his heartfelt vocals conveying the values we were all taught. Truly a wonderful cover and tribute, and a proof that no matter how many years pass, some things will never change.
LuRhythmic – Awoken (Covering Glaze & H8_Seed) | Piano Solo / Jazz
Now here’s something that I love to see and that is so very lovely. With expert hands, LuRhythmic did a Piano improv using chords from the famous Awoken by Glaze aka WoodenToaster and H8_Seed, resulting in a blissful Jazz-y track that would fit so well as a BGM in some chill night bar. Also check out the Piano improv of Nightmare Night, the Bebop Jazz cover of Bats, and the Big Band Jazz cover of Rainbow Factory! They are all awesome and rare gems!
ShalMusicFX – Starlight’s Demons (Glitch Mob Parody) | Electronic
One of my favorite releases of the month for sure, this new track and ponification by ShalMusicFX is the kind of deep tribute to our beloved characters that I love to see the most. Covering The Glitch Mob’s Our Demons, ShalMusicFX brings a brand new instrumental of many wonders and of much emotion, along gorgeous and epic vocals, to pay tribute to Starlight’s character depth in a wonderful way. Thoughtful pony lyrics are delightfully conveying much relatable feelings, as we marvel at the sheer beauty and intensity of the vocals and the instrumental that even features an awesome guitar solo. As for the part starting at 3:40, it is just giving me shivers everytime I listen to it. That dark, deep twist in the instrumental instilling an emotional mood, and those chopped vocals with that effect on them… Along the mention of Starlight and what are probably Twilight’s words, the Passion I feel for the show and the characters is surfacing, and combined with the music, it creates very powerful emotions. That, is to me the greatest magic in life. Thank you, life! And thank you MLP staff, and ShalMusicFX!
MetalPony – Fight This War (PrinceWhateverer Vocal Cover) | Metal
It’s just so nice witnessing metal pony musicians covering other metal pony musicians, and here we’ve got MetalPony giving some love to the original Fight This War from PrinceWhateverer and DivinumX, with a Vocal Cover that is certainly full of newfound vocal greatness. Can’t get enough of MetalPony’s unique and lovely vocals!
TheMusicReborn – Just Another Day In Ponyville (Covering 4EverfreeBrony) | Acoustic
Not only TheMusicReborn covered 4EverfreeBrony‘s vocals from the original Acapella, he also composed a brand new instrumental to go along with it! This results in a wonderful new take on the original, filled with gorgeous vocals, trumpet and piano.
Strigidae – Helping Twilight Win The Crown (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Pop
Strigidae is back!! And with a new cover of a show song, filled with his signature unique vocals and a tender instrumental. It both covers the English version and the German version of Helping Twilight Win The Crown, which will always remain a classic!
