With Generation 5’s release of “Legacy” right on our doorstep, many of us in this community find ourselves looking back at countless fond memories of G4, the unforgettable legacy it has left behind, and the friendships that will never end! Such is the inspiration behind Songbird Choir’s emotional tribute to the G4 fandom. Both uplifting and melancholic chords comprise this piece with powerful strings and drums flowing throughout, complimented by gentle piano sections. The track’s alternating happy and sad chords highlight the good memories of the show along with the solemnity of saying goodbye to many beloved characters and compelling stories that have captured our imaginations for many years. Songbird Choir has even created a nostalgic PMV to go along with their commemorative piece. Experience a nostalgic trip down memory lane as “Legacy” immerses you in heartwarming memories of the “magic” that friendship can bring.
Misc
Skyshard – The Pursuit of Magic | Hybrid Orchestral
Skyshard really knows how to craft beautiful music, and this track is no exception! The heart and inspiration from the movie really come through here, and the lovely progressions create a wonderful journey that fits the film’s top tier aesthetics. It all feels as welcoming as a Maretime Bay breeze, so tune in and drift along with this song’s beautiful passion!
Luck Rock – We’re Meant to be Friends | Power Pop
Luck Rock has combined awesome, riffy guitar goodness and the positive messages of the MLP G5 movie to create this fantastic, uplifting song! Opening with an awesome sounding classic power pop arrangement, the song becomes strataspherically fantastic when Luck Rock’s amazing vocals join in. The lyrics encapsulate the premise of the movie and the artist’s love for it so well, and the whole song is unbelievably full of goodness. The end got me right in the feels by drawing out the word friends and echoing a song that we all hold near and dear. We’re not worthy!
Harmonic Six – Rarigretto in F Major | Allegretto
This “Rarigretto” is as lovely as the name suggests! The fabulous mare might approve of those delicate and refined melodies, enveloped in a warm atmosphere reminding that of a Baroque castle. A longer version of this would fit well as a field theme BGM in a game for such a map, and of course you would meet Rarity there!
SpinScissor & Nyancat380 – BRUSH ADDICT | Hyperpop
A dream collab that was meant to happen, two of our regulars teamed up for a magical result. Colgate aka Minuette got a new song, and a pretty dank one at that. Not only the cool and light-hearted lyrics are making for an awesome reminder of brony spirit, but the vocals come in all shapes and sizes, with a cuteness overload happening several times during the track. As for the instrumental, it’s sparking from the fusion of the two musicians’ skills! Give it up for SpinScissor and Nyancat380 everypony!
Cantersoft – Six Ponies Flying in a Pink Hot Air Balloon | Synthpop
Cantersoft was right when he said that he achieved something very catchy… Writing this song up a second time right now after I posted it on EQD, I have its vocals stuck in my head even without re-listening to it..! Aside from the catchy-ness, the song is brimming with pony cuteness, and in the video as well since it has got such a fun and delightfully light-hearted PMV/animation to go along with it. You can breathe pony while watching this..!
Ocean Melody – Set Sail | Orchestral
Are you HYPE for G5 yet?! With the movie nearly upon us, this fantastic tune from Ocean Melody will definitely help you get there! The song opens with a gentle melody courtesy of strings and horns and goes through a lovely progression, adding bells and delicate percussion. There’s a nice passage where the arrangement mostly subsides to make way for some light drums, and it’s easy to imagine trotting through a sunny landscape, especially when the drums are combined with some light keys. The optimism and joy of this song is infectious and inspiring, so please give it a listen and get uplifted!
[PF] Skyshard – Onto Another Call of Destiny | Orchestral
Well, have I mentioned that Skyshard does amazing orchestral pieces? If not, let me do so now! “Onto Another Call of Destiny” is a wonderful piece dedicated to G5, and it’s full of the most beautiful strings, stunning drums, and so much more! I don’t make it a secret that I enjoy me some good orchestral music, but this blows everything else out of the water. No matter what you think of orchestral music, you will enjoy this!
Thanks once again to theCANderson for proofreading!
BGM Pony Degeneracy – Fluttersad | Synthpop
(That title comes from the filename of the downloaded song from the description)
This song might make you cry! With the help of TalkNet, one of the musicians from 4chan made such a wonderful and emotional song where Fluttershy is singing to anon about the regrets she has. “I just wanted to be your mare.” That line alone is just taking me straight to where I want to belong in this community!! Thank you to the musician for this, and shout-out to all the passionate bronies on /mlp/! (If you read this, consider submitting a song to Pony Family, made precisely to showcase pony initiatives like these! Wink!)
Love, love everywhere!
Thunder Dash – Heart To Heart | Piano Solo
Thunder Dash is continuing the spirit of FiM episodes with these releases!! Check out the new amazing moral and message in the description, and get ready to melt upon these sweet and cuddly melodies on the piano! That this is all an improv, is both impressive and very lovely!
