Jyc Row – Thorax’ Quietus (Molten Spike arc epilogue) | Orchestral
Finishing off his Molten Spike arc, Jyc Row delivers us a heart-wrenching song about the aftermath of the epic fight between Molten Spike and Ember and Thorax. “Thorax’ Quietus” follows the King of the Changelings with a re-orchestration of his original UEP theme, mourning the loss of those fallen during the confrontation. While strings provide the musical background, the melody mostly gets carried by a mixture of bagpipes and a mixed choir, furnishing the track with a sense of tragedy and heroic sacrifice compared to the hopeful sounding theme it was derived from. All this is intensified by the animatic made specifically for this video by Amyntha Eszti, illustrating the grief and loss Thorax is experiencing, making the song and video an emotional experience that will burn itself into your memory!
Twilike – I’m With You | Synthpop
“I’m With You” is not only a song, but a whole story. It is a message Twilight Sparkle would have let to the future generations, and the energetic yet chill vibes given by the instrumentals as well as the sad tone added by the lyrics gives this track the perfect balance it needed to appreciate the lullaby brought by our favorite purple horse. Close your eyes, listen to this song, and let yourself flow through the nostalgia of the show and the adventures it has given us!
Evershade – Those Nights | Pop
Another track from Evershade’s Troublemaker album is up on their channel! “Those Nights” begins with a bouncy synth lead, and the sparkly synth choices don’t end there! A bouncy bass follows and more soaring leads get groovy during the chorus. Evershade’s vocoded vocals fit right into the synths, and if you listen carefully, you’ll hear the relatable tale of a pony caught out at the club, wanting to escape. On the bright side, if you can’t manage to leave, at least you’ll be stuck listening to this bop.
