Who def came here because of TTOS

Hi. I had this running on a loop for couple past days. Was working on my own song at choral workshops and needed something for motivation during breaks. It rings close to my heart - that it is ok to write songs (about ponies or not). And truly, the hardest part of this year workshops was believing in myself. I have a very very old song of mine with very pompous lyrics. Up until leaving for the workshops I have not been fully decided to present this particular song or not. Surprisingly, nobody who heard the demo laughed or even commented on lyrics I wrote. It seems the enemy have been my indecisiveness all along. I haven't finished the song arrangement in time to present it, but, I'm going to, eventually. I will keep your piece at hand for inspiration, and maybe it can even teach me how to make backing chords for vocals. Thank you.

Wow. I forgot this song existed but still knew all the words 😭

This is always the episode I look forward to most when re-listening to this story. I love your voice so much.

I love free listening to the story every couple of years give me just enough time forget little details (like Celestia's scar) and relive the realizations all over again

Remember the fandom.

2025?😂🎉

This song then: A song about someone falling in love with an MLP character. This song now: Tedious Tales Of Sodor go brrrrrrrrrr

This song made me forget old grudges and reunite old friendships

Is Applejack ever has a kid, I guarantee you it'll be called Apple slice lol

Me and the ponybros on the way to the horse con.

Хоть эта песня и на английском но она все равно дает мне и решимость и магию дружбы и магию брони

Still a great song, but this isn’t the same as listening to it during the craze.

Hear this song the first time after 5 years because i shuffeld my playlist... god its a hidden gem 😊

❤asx❤

I love this book, but Boy howdy do I hate listening to this chapter💀😖💀

i love my little derpy!! 😊

The relic of a fandom I am still part of. I am a children’s book writer/illustrator, filmmaker, and cartoonist so I watch cartoons to learn from and get ideas.

Criminally underrated song 😂❤❤❤❤❤❤ I'm here 5 years later in 2024

I live for that guitar tone, it's so crisp n' crunchy!

This brightened my day. When I see this, I think of fokes who take themselves too seriously. And that schadenfreude makes me so happy.

Still my favourite song

The nostalgia is hitting hard lately 😢

When I first listened to this album on the way home from Ciderfest, I wondered if there was a published story this went with, and then an idea popped into my head that's never gone away: this album as a full stage musical with extended fight scenes, in-between scenes to fill in the parts relegated to subtitles and youtube descriptions. Plus a fully choreographed Clash of Blades would be epic.

I'll say the same thing I said 5 years ago, I still love this song, I still remember it. It is just... amazing.

kinda sad that this song got 10 year old me into rock music, this was the reason I turned out gothic, shit..

That's a voice as smooth as silk and thick as molasses

Had the privilege of hearing this at Ciderfest, Cyril told me he did the slap bass solo as a joke. Forest dug it tho. When I saw him go *S T U P I D* with that solo I about lost my mind. And then whirlwind just goes ham Timestamp: 3:05

Just going back and finding the gems from a better time

Can't believe it was 12 years ago the last time I heard this song. It's a crime this one isn't on spotify!

You like pirates? You like ponies? You will LOVE this song!

After the magic returns, Hya and Nemm go on a worldwide campaign to the regions of Aetheria, convincing Sky King farmers to help the free folk with the newly refreshed land below and uniting the fighting forces of both side, now one people again. They spend years convincing nobles to share wealth, setting up places for their people to heal from the trauma of the 500 year war and building schools for the children of the free folk. While they tackle these issues, they build a house on their little island, spending their downtime there and enjoying each other peacefully. They share their cultures with each other, discovering more and more each day. Hya teaches Nemm to swim and Nemm teaches Hya how to fly, and finally they are free to be themselves.

Fun Fact! Hya is taller than Nemm, which was a surprise for Nemm when they first met! Both Hya and Nemm are hippogriff-pegasus hybrids, which makes them taller than most around them! Hya often prefers her Sea Pony form being raised on a ship, and Nemm prefers her hippogriff form! The Sky King has most of the shard of the transformation pearl, and does not permit the use of them other than for costume jewelry for his court. Hya got her piece from her first supply ship raid, where a nobleman had been overseeing transport and has unfortunately brought his wife who Hya stole the pearl piece from.

Fun Fact! Hyacinth has trouble pronouncing Anemone's full name, so has opted to call her Nemm! Nemm hated the nickname at first, and started calling Hyacinth 'Hya' in retaliation (which just made Hya smile). At first they were just used to distract each other so they would make mistakes while sparring, but as they spent more time together on the island the names took on an endearing tone and became their default way of referring to each other!

Fun fact! While Anemone rose through the ranks of the Sky King's Airforce as quick as lightning, Hyacinth was found as a child by the Pirate King and raised as his own! Because of this, Anemone's fighting style is as proper as the day is long and is deeply ingrained into her, while Hyacinth's is as wild as the King who raised her!

Fun fact! Despite the war having gone on for nearly 500 years, neither side has tried to negotiate peace with one another for nearly as long. The pirate kings and queens of the past have the image of their starving people fueling an anger that demands action from them, while the sky kings and queens have been fortunate enough to stay further away from battle and the ground, causing them to not really know what happens to the citizens on the islands below. As such, people who break laws on the floating islands are cast to the sea islands as punishment, and are often radicalized to fight against the place they once came from. The thought of people they once knew attacking the supply ships that feed the sky islands people creates outrage amongst the sky citizens, causing many to join the sky king's airforce as a way to protect the land they love from these attacks.

If possible, a 10-Year Anniversary of this would be amazing!

2024 this song still emotional !

I missed to brony fandom... I see sad memories to, of far and distant days, when been a just a boy like more, I joined the bronys

OH MY GOSH! IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS AND NOW IT SUDDENLY IS IN MY TIMELINE!?!

Oow, it's very beautiful performance! Your voice fits so well 😆 Good job!

12 years ago is crazy i miss mlp peak

I'm remember how me and my dad chilling on this song. Good old days

I make a video Delinquents (metal band) from Yandere Simulator

You know... this song's rhythm and instrumentals reminds me a lot of "Great to be Different", was that intentional?

This whole album is a bop, but this one and hope became my favorite songs by far. Koa's and Luna's voice mix so well, and I'm a sucker for duets like this.

I was updating my transition playlist (five years in) and remembered this song. It belongs there.
