You don’t have to understand the words to feel the emotion in BroniKoni tracks. From the hit, new compilation album Ponies at Dawn: Skyward, comes this snazzy, fall anthem. The instrumental uses somber overtones with soft, jazzy melodies on top. The lyrics tell of the sad reality of the summer making its transition back towards winter with the cold winds of the Crystal Empire breaking through. BroniKoni give us a fantastic track for a chilled out, lazy day (or any time you want to listen to a great piece!)

Full of the magic of OST music, Wandering Artist’s contribution to Ponies at Dawn Skyward features a breathtaking composition with gorgeous melodies, an atmosphere that calls for adventure, and a distinct emotion for the avid explorer.
