Have you ever wondered what would happen if Disney and Hasbro came together to make a My Little Pony x Pirates of the Caribbean crossover? While that will probably never happen, we can at least imagine with EveryDayDashie’s song “Pirates of the Ponyvillain.” Featuring a reimagining of the famous “He’s a Pirate” tune and Dashie’s incredible talent on the violin adding onto said theme, this song is full of epic adventure from start to finish. It is Dashie’s subtle & signature MLP musical licks that they add to every one of their songs that shines once again, reminding us that this song is still pony at its core. If you told me this song was taken straight from the Pirates of the Caribbean OST, I would probably believe you at first.
Original
Thrack – Canterlot Express (Feat Jesh PK and Ocean Breeze) | Acoustic Shanty
Things don’t need to be complicated to be amazing, and Thrack proves it here with his song “Canterlot Express.” This simple melody – with just a handful of instruments and accompanying vocals from Jesh PK & Ocean Breeze – perfectly emulates that feeling of passing time with strangers on a train as you all travel somewhere to start a new life. The lyrics capture Thrack’s goofy and charming personality as each verse introduces a new character on the Canterlot Express, explaining where they came from and why they are going to Canterlot. Sometimes all you just need one short, simple driving lick and entertaining lyrics to make a fun and enjoyable song.
Elias Frost – Full Moon | Cinematic Orchestral
The king has returned! Elias Frost is back, not just with new music, but a whole new series. This Luna-themed composition draws upon the history of Old Equestria, drawing you in with soft piano and gentle strings before unleashing the might of full choral and orchestral sounds. Check it out and stay tuned to Elias’ channel for more releases from this series!
MelodyBrony – S.O.V.E.R.E.I.G.N (Feat. PrinceWhateverer, Blackened Blue & Talknet) | Metal
Melody Brony’s latest release is a Chrysalis inspired track which throws just as much punch as when she invaded Canterlot back in season 2! Featuring the talents of PrinceWhateverer and Blackened Blue, the trio really throw down into heavy metal territory, with insane guitar riffs, thrashing drums, and a powerful chorus. The track also makes excellent use of sirens, both at the beginning to introduce the track, but also sprinkled throughout the arrangement and into a hardcore screaming section in the middle. Hopefully we’ll get to see a live crowd mosh to this banger someday!
Pit Crew – Flower, the Dumb Robot | Indie Pop
After seeing LFØ’s brilliant video, “This is Flower, The Dumb Robot Pony”, Chuckles did what any adoring fan would: write a song about her literally the next day! With a simplistic, but bouncy beat, this one is sure to bring a smile to your face. Chuckles’ lyrics are an absolute gem with multiple sections where four words rhyme in quick succession and brilliant pairs like ‘off’ and ‘Asimov’ (the creator of the 3 laws of robotics for those not in the know). There’s plenty where those came from, so make sure you listen to this one all the way through!
EveryDayDashie – Trotting to the Unknown | Indian / Arabic Orchestral
EveryDayDashie continues his musical trip around the world, pushing us through the vibrant street markets of the Orient! “Trotting to the Unknown” combines Arabic and Indian influences together with lovely orvhestration. This track is uniquely upbeat and combines a lot of exotic sounds together for a lovely experience that screams variety and fun!
ALostCarolean – Midnight All Day Long | Darksynth
ALC returns here with another suspense-building, fear inducing, 80s-influenced banger. I’ve always thought certain genres like trance are very thematically suitable for Luna, but the darker side of synthwave is also proving very fitting for Nightmare Moon! The strings and organ sounds in the intro in particular are a great setup for a drop into a heavy-hitting song about the endless night.
[VibePoniez] PumpkinZeta – Play in the Snow | Chillwave
Always eager to experiment with new genres, PumpkinZeta has offered a chill and relaxing song for all of us this time! Being part of Hearth’s Warming Vol. 2 by VibePoniez, his latest winter-themed music, “Play in the Snow,” pictures a cozy and carefree vacation as Fluttershy lets her mind wander and explores the endless mysteries that ignite her curiosity. The soft snow, comforting ambient pad, and soothing plucks all resonate with her serene fantasy, synthesizing a winter paradise just as calming as her imagination. And complemented by the pacifying electronic drums, her mind unfolds into a million hues of wonders, showering positive energy in every corner of this utopia. PumpkinZeta never fails to deliver such a glamouring and immersive spectacle, and this gorgeous track is no exception! Give it a listen and experience this magical winter wonderland with the pony of kindness.
Frozen Night – Dragon of Time (Piano Version) | Piano Sonata
Sometimes I forget that amazing music comes in all shapes and sizes, but Frozen Night’s piano version of “Dragon of Time” proves just how much can be accomplished with a single instrument. The composition begins slow, with its regretful and lonely melody reverberating before picking up speed, weaving together gorgeous arpeggios over the thunderous strike of the lower notes, only to return to its former melancholy at the end. The dynamic contrast between sections is incredible, and the piece will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very end!
EveryDayDashie – PonyGPT | DnB / Drumstep
EveryDayDashie’s new track imagines a world where Equestria is not peace, but in a state of conflict due to the rise of AI. It takes off from the start with a very fast bass line forming a dark groove before going all in with a hardcore section full of jarring synths and scratches! Between the conflicting passages, the piece opens up with smooth choral-like passages before another synth picks ups the pace and drags the listener back into the fray. If you’re looking for a sinister and fiery sound, make sure to check this one out!
