Twilight Sparkle is, without a doubt, one of the most relatable and best-developed protagonists you could ask for in western animation history; we, as bronies, lived it through her emotions to the very end. Only Jyc Row, with his debut track on Vibeponiez: Downtown, could put it well with this score; the melodies along with this fanart celebrate Bookhorse’s legacy beautifully; at times, it may sound bittersweet that FiM is over. Fear not, my friends. Friendship never dies; Twilight thought this score lives on forever with how she touched all of us. It is an incredible emotion that makes you smile. Think about this quote by Twilight “Friendship isn’t always easy, but it’s definitely worth fighting for” close your eyes, and imagine twilight smiling with warmth. That’s what this song feels like. Well done, Jyc Row! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

As part of his “Elden Wing EP”, named after the Elden Ring game, Jyc Row is doing epic boss themes for some of our favorite ponies! And my oh my did he nail Applejack! The eerie chants create this creepy atmosphere from the very beginning, and once the strings come in this is only ramped up! Giving us a truly bone-chilling track that could appear in a video game exactly like this! And with an end that works almost like an epic crescendo to the whole thing, this masterpiece will send shivers down your spine!

Now this is something you don’t see everyday! As part of the official soundtrack for Minty Root’s “Missing out”, BlueBrony wrote this amazing Ballad about Starlight’s struggles, how she is slowly coping with all her guilt. This is truly a beautiful piece that will bring you to tears. Sincerely, take your time and listen to this track in full, because this is a truly special experience!

What would a Ponies at Dawn album be without some amazing orchestral tunes! Well luckily Wandering Artist chips in this lovely piece for “Zenith” so we don’t have to find out! This four minute masterpiece goes through all sorts of emotions during it’s run time, from short bits of foreboding, deep strings, to happy piano melodies, this track has it all and is definitely something nice to listen to whether you’re an orchestral enjoyer or not!

Now this is something very special! For Ponies at Dawn “Zenith”, N4ghtwolf has come up with a lovely piece relying heavily on the harpsichord, making for a unique sound and all around special experience when listening to this song, along with the amazing strings this whole track has a lovely regal vibe, something we don’t see all too often but definitely something very enjoyable!

Among the many songs from Zenith being released, we’ve also got this track from last year’s Aurora from Michael Picher. Like a lot of his work, his approach to this seems to be that of scoring a narrative, moving through different acts and striking up different emotions. There’s a clever bit of circular narrative with the voices and motifs too – a very nice little touch!
