Have you ever wondered what would happen if Disney and Hasbro came together to make a My Little Pony x Pirates of the Caribbean crossover? While that will probably never happen, we can at least imagine with EveryDayDashie’s song “Pirates of the Ponyvillain.” Featuring a reimagining of the famous “He’s a Pirate” tune and Dashie’s incredible talent on the violin adding onto said theme, this song is full of epic adventure from start to finish. It is Dashie’s subtle & signature MLP musical licks that they add to every one of their songs that shines once again, reminding us that this song is still pony at its core. If you told me this song was taken straight from the Pirates of the Caribbean OST, I would probably believe you at first.
Misc
Thrack – Canterlot Express (Feat Jesh PK and Ocean Breeze) | Acoustic Shanty
Things don’t need to be complicated to be amazing, and Thrack proves it here with his song “Canterlot Express.” This simple melody – with just a handful of instruments and accompanying vocals from Jesh PK & Ocean Breeze – perfectly emulates that feeling of passing time with strangers on a train as you all travel somewhere to start a new life. The lyrics capture Thrack’s goofy and charming personality as each verse introduces a new character on the Canterlot Express, explaining where they came from and why they are going to Canterlot. Sometimes all you just need one short, simple driving lick and entertaining lyrics to make a fun and enjoyable song.
Elias Frost – Full Moon | Cinematic Orchestral
The king has returned! Elias Frost is back, not just with new music, but a whole new series. This Luna-themed composition draws upon the history of Old Equestria, drawing you in with soft piano and gentle strings before unleashing the might of full choral and orchestral sounds. Check it out and stay tuned to Elias’ channel for more releases from this series!
Pit Crew – Flower, the Dumb Robot | Indie Pop
After seeing LFØ’s brilliant video, “This is Flower, The Dumb Robot Pony”, Chuckles did what any adoring fan would: write a song about her literally the next day! With a simplistic, but bouncy beat, this one is sure to bring a smile to your face. Chuckles’ lyrics are an absolute gem with multiple sections where four words rhyme in quick succession and brilliant pairs like ‘off’ and ‘Asimov’ (the creator of the 3 laws of robotics for those not in the know). There’s plenty where those came from, so make sure you listen to this one all the way through!
EveryDayDashie – Trotting to the Unknown | Indian / Arabic Orchestral
EveryDayDashie continues his musical trip around the world, pushing us through the vibrant street markets of the Orient! “Trotting to the Unknown” combines Arabic and Indian influences together with lovely orvhestration. This track is uniquely upbeat and combines a lot of exotic sounds together for a lovely experience that screams variety and fun!
The Wilders – Do the Pony Hip Hop (EveryDayDashie’s Latin Remix) | Latin / Reggaeton
As part of his music world tour today EveryDayDashie is taking out down the road to Latin America with a wonderful remix! Featuring not just English, but also Latin American voicelines and a beat that is equal parts chill and upbeat this track is a pleasure to listen to, and despite clocking in at just under four and a half minutes it never gets boring!
Frozen Night – Dragon of Time (Piano Version) | Piano Sonata
Sometimes I forget that amazing music comes in all shapes and sizes, but Frozen Night’s piano version of “Dragon of Time” proves just how much can be accomplished with a single instrument. The composition begins slow, with its regretful and lonely melody reverberating before picking up speed, weaving together gorgeous arpeggios over the thunderous strike of the lower notes, only to return to its former melancholy at the end. The dynamic contrast between sections is incredible, and the piece will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very end!
ProtoShadez – Dark Reflection | Acoustic / Emo
It’s been ten years since we were introduced to King Sombra and the Crystal Empire, and I’m glad that musicians like ProtoShadez are still creating tracks to show a fictitious and more complex side to Sombra that the show missed out on. “Dark Reflections” catches this sorrowful Sombra with the intense yet expressive piano instrumentalization and raw, regretful screams out with the perfect amount of “edge.” It takes impressive talent to harmonize with yourself, and even more talent to make it sound astonishing. Shadez brings this to the table with his occasional octave harmonies laid over the main voice, almost like there was regret for the words not said. An unbelievable and soulful song that really made me sympathize for everyone who has to make major sacrifices for a greater good.
Harmonic Six – Equestria, Land We Love | Orchestral
Remember when we all found out Equestria apparently has some sort of national anthem in Season 5? Well here comes Harmonic Six with a lovely orchestral anthem also somewhat inspired by the Heart Carol. This piece is wonderful to listen to and you can almost feel the melodies reaching out to your heart. Definitely give this song a listen!
Dandelion Ass – Rarity In Captivity, Unicorn in Captivity tapestry | Classical Orchestral
Today I’m happy to bring you some more amazing composing work by Dandelion and Octawa! It’s not often that you hear a Harpsichord nowadays, but they use it to it’s fullest, letting it be a big part of the arrangement, giving us a wonderful new yet old sound! This piece may be a bit longer, clocking in at just under seven and a half minutes, but I can tell you it leads you on a journey, and especially if like me you enjoy orchestra you will love just listening along to this and forgetting about everything for a while!
