A unique ballad, this one. Lead by an orchestral backing with strong drums, Harvest Orange sings to himself about his desire to find his wife in his last hours on the planet. His vocals really put you in the moment and the instrumentation is full of emotion, especially towards the middle!
Misc
[P@D] Radiarc – Of Shadows and Nightmares | Orchestral
Anime theme song, anyone? Track 38 from Ponies at Dawn: Eclipse is Of Shadows and Nightmares from Radiarc, an orchestral piece with some power! This one is sprinkled with goodness from each string instrument to the quickly plucked strings, to even the piano; it all comes together to form something that would fit well in a movie trailer or anime opening. I get chills every time that piano riff comes in. You know, there’s a reason why Radiarc is regarded at the top of the MLP music scene, and this song is a great example!
[P@D] Wandering Artist – Nocturne | Orchestral
Today we’ve got ourselves another calm song, this time by Wandering Artist. The song is a beautiful piece inspired by romantic music. It has a great progression but stays calm all the way through making it the perfect song for lying down and closing your eyes for a second. It’s easy to imagine yourself relaxing in the Golden Oak Library after an exhausting day and drifting off to sleep to the sound of rustling leaves.

Luck Rock – Pony Life (Friends Parody) | Power Pop
Short yet so important, this parody of Friends in response to that reference in Pony Life is very appreciated, and Luck Rock was the pony musician for the job! Evershade even made a mini PMV to accompany the song, and overall this new Pony Life fan work is just SO lovely and awesome! Give it up to the creators everypony! I wish that more works like these get made!
RedSpark – Hidden Sanctuary (feat. Koron Korak) | Folk / Soundtrack
RedSpark’s newest lore-heavy musical release is a collab with Koron Korak enacting the discovery of a hidden village of batponies deep in the woods! Now that has got to tingle my RPG and adventurer spirit!! You’ll be able to feel for yourself how the Folk vibes of the track are so immersive and perfect for such a concept!
RottenTotten – Discord the Cosmic Trickster | Orchestral
RottenTotten encompassed Discord’s playful and trickster sides in this magnificent orchestral composition paying much tribute to his character! A shining success and token of RottenTotten’s talent!
Whirlwind – The Mission EP | Liquid Drum & Bass / Orchestral
Encompassing love for space and space music in an EP full of starry and dreamy DnB beauties, Whirlwind showcased his skill at a genre full of wonders, all while telling a story about his OC exploring space. Much emotion and story-telling in the tracks, that will make you follow him on the journey. Such a display of musical skill and passion is very inspiring and amazing, and it’s definitely an EP worth the listen! My personal favorite from the EP is Solar Surf!
Embedded here is the video of the full EP, but you can also find it on Bandcamp and find the individual tracks’ uploads on Whirlwind’s channel!
SDreamExplorerS – Ephemeral III: Imhnieńnie Ščaścia | Album | Folk Metal
(The Title is translated to: Ephemeral 3: A Moment Of Happiness)
(English translation of lyrics are found in this link, Special Thanks to Soul Strings for providing them to us )
The following article was Co-written by Drake EmberHeart and Simon the MadhatterBrony.
(PS: do not worry if you can’t understand Pavel’s voice acting in this album, with the english lyrics guide and our article. You the listener should enjoy this album just fine, oh if you do buy the album on Souls’s bandcamp. It comes with the doc with the english translation!)
(Start of Drake Part)
There is a very special place in my heart for musicians that just go the extra mile with their music. The effort, the passion, the hard work writing and composing this type of grand music. Soul Strings and his friends have done just that: a folk tale of a loving father and his filly daughter leaving what they knew to find a cure to the illness that’s slowly killing her. They travel to Equestria from leagues away from their homeland, in the hopes of getting to Canterlot and ask the royal sisters Celestia and Luna to save his daughter’s life with their legendary alicorn magic. With the journey comes how to tell that story with the glory of heavy metal!

StableTwoStallion – Forty | Soundtrack
Wow, talk about ominous. STS’ track here captures that nightmare jet-fuel vibe in the best way. As a Project Horizons OST, this one really sets up the foreboding “unsafe” atmosphere, and is reminiscent of Silent Hill or perhaps Eternal Darkness. A member of the repeat club for sure, but I hope I don’t get nightmares.
Ocean Melody – Autumn Falls | Orchestral
We all know the feeling of getting done with a hard day of work or school and just wanting to lie down for a while, close our eyes, and let all the stress flow away. This song from Ocean Melody is perfectly suited for that. The five minute track is simple and straightforward, exactly what you want from a chillout track, but its simplicity doesn’t make it boring. It changes throughout with new instruments being introduced while others get taken out which gives the piece a lively feeling. The mellow-but-engaging result is a very difficult target to hit but Melody does it perfectly! And now please enjoy this lovely track.
