It’s always a treat when Ocean Melody uploads. March of the Tides is their second song based on the Background Pony fanfic, and like Darkness Sonata, it focuses just on the lyre to create a song. A lead melody plays over a soft arpeggio, sounding melancholic and brooding as it is said to be Lyra’s own spin on a song called Sunset Bolero. Short, but bittersweet.

JP Hyper collabed with N4ghtwolf to write a theme song for a fanfic they wrote, and what an epic track it is! It sure is indicative of the kind of epicness you can expect from the story, with those choirs and that progression of 9 minutes of Orchestral greatness that is already an adventure in itself!

I just love songs representing a character like this, you can feel how the sound and melodies are portraying the pony, and what thoughts the musician had while composing the piece! The flute is definitely very fitting for Fluttershy, and these Flutterdreams sound so mellow and comfy, just like the kind of world that she would imagine, filled with kindness!

Multi-media fan works are always so awesome, especially when they’re also group collabs with friends! For the series of audiobooks/dramas “Fallout Equestria Dead Tree” on the channel, Shotgun Angel Productions released this outro song that gathers the vocal talents of SkyBolt and Inky Notebook from the Traveling Pony Museum, as well as the compositional prowess of James Kelly of East Corp Productions! Everypony coming together to create fan works like these makes me so happy!!

Heartsong returns to A State of Sugar with track 23 as well as Brownie‘s longest track clocking in at nearly 8 minutes, Cloudsbane! The soundtrack vibes are real with this one, being driven by ominous orchestral instruments and unique percussion that really gives the song an old-timey feeling. Halfway through the track, the optimistic mood suddenly drops to a halt as a dark string fades in alongside the sound of thunder in the background, indicating impending danger. However, it keeps building up to a satisfying conclusion, choirs and powerful percussion abound. This strong piece was actually inspired by a fanfiction entitled Magisight, which was written by their friend PsychicKid. Something like that only adds to how great this piece is!

Harmonic Six returns with their first original of the year, Under Her Sun! It’s an beautiful and emotional orchestral piece that fits her character very well, sounding as if she’s making a grand entrance, possibly for the last time before her retirement. The soft string tones in this track will definitely warm you up if you’re feeling cold.
