Lyrics:
Missing? Goodness, no!
I have been right here all along
Well, I stepped out for a moment
But I'm back where I belong
Yes, I, the one you care for
Really, who else would I be?
Now just relax, my darling,
And give all your love to me
This room is rather cozy
And this clothing's awfully nice
Your affection is delectable
I think this will suffice
Call me a romantic
But I feel we're quite the pair
Me, the changeling succubus
And you, the unaware
So feed me with your heart
My sweet, unwitting devotee
You've someone else in mind
But it's alright with me
Just give yourself completely
I'll take all you have and more
You'll love me like you've never loved before
I wear this borrowed face
That says I'm sweet and safe and kind
For I fear that you'd be fearful
Of the thing that lies behind
Moth-eaten and sickly,
Matted tresses, sharpened teeth
Slitted eyes of green with charcoal skin
And ashen heart beneath
My hunger springs eternal
I've an emptiness inside
I pray that I may prey on you
Until I'm satisfied
I care not for flesh, nor I
For fruit, or leaf, or seed
I feast on your devotion, dear
Your love is all I need
So feed me with your heart
My sweet, unwitting devotee
You've someone else in mind
But it's alright with me,
Your parasitic paramour
Will steal your heart and then
I'll leave you, and you'll never love again
Your parasitic paramour
Will steal your heart and then
I'll leave you, and you'll never love again
You'll love me, then you'll never love again

This song just popped up as the first in a list youtube labeled "Children's Music." The second on the list is Jyc Row's Wings of Destruction, and Praise Nerath after that... KZbin trying to give children nightmares.

[@alyarin9000]

KZbin has some weird ideas at times.

Bug Queen waifu gives good dreams❤

[@tatyonnacox7167]

when you don't make a playlist, so KZbin makes one be like:

[@ExceedinglyFPR]

"Parasitic Paramour" what a fantastically apt alliteration for a changeling.

[@BlindStarLily]

Just noticed. The piano in the background, the lower notes, sounds like it could either be a wedding march or funeral music. Very nice touch

[@aerinhinton964]

Has similar vibes/energy to Wedding Aria, with the classical music turned sinister.

[@thingsareabouttogetgrusome5092]

“You’ll love me, and you’ll never love again” That kind of thing always gets me, the idea of someone losing a critical part of themselves to something they thought they could seek comfort from is always such an interesting yet cruel thing to read about, good on you

[@82dorrin]

Changelings literally rob you of your ability to love. A frightening thought...

[@foxanard]

@@82dorrin only temporarily, though. Love restores over time in ponies.

[@nightmareshadow1420]

Could also be referring too killing/eating their partner after they have served their purpose. Taking all they had then leaving nothing left.

[@RaptorNX01]

A worse thought, they feed off of your love, gorging themselves so intensely, so forcefully, that it literally rips out your ability to love.

[@applemirer3937]

[@RandallStephens397]

This song gives me chills. I so rarely find changeling-related media that leans into just how terrifying they are, and this is easily the best among them at capturing that feeling.

[@Wobside]

This is 100% a villain song and I’m in love with it. It has all the haunting charm one would expect from an antagonist, what with the sugar coated threats and double meaning behind the lyrics (that in my opinion is up there with Alan Menken and Howard Ashman‘s music). Bravo.

[@Francis.L]

Romantic songs can be very deep and compelling but this one, is pure raw emotion. It's how clever to make a music and actually not knowing the fact that there's always a reason to know what's behind of all of this. This is fantastic and brilliant!

[@ChristopherKapoun711]

I've never heard something more beautiful yet so sad from a villain point-of-view...

[@martina6700]

I like to imagine that the beginning of the song follows to a violent episode, the "I stepped out for a moment" was lashing out at the lover but soon picked up the masquerade.

[@4everfreebrony]

Wow, I love the cute-yet-dark theme of this song. ^^ Quite the masterpiece! Impressive piano work, vocals spot on, and the harmonies are incredible. Great job!

[@hurh54]

>incredible so yes, also it incredible hard for me to recognise chords. please help, i wanna play it

[@SammyNeverEver]

Михаил Мурзин Chorus: Ebm add9, Eb°, Db, C+5, Ebm7, Ab, Db, Bbm7, Gbm add9, Ab, A°7, Bbm, Gbm, Ab, Db. You'll need to figure out the rest, as well as inversions and extensions as needed

[@meepbeep2029]

Yknow this song has really opened my eyes to how downright creepy the concept of the mlp changelings are 😳

[@peeblekitty5780]

FOR REALLL it makes me sad sometimes that they had to be toned down by being on such a light happy show (not a dig at mlp, it just couldn't go very in depth with it bc of the target audience) bc the changelings are just such a wonderfully dark and creepy concept

[@badweather4cast]

Instant classic, in my opinion. The lyrics are so suave and clever, yet incredibly disturbing, even trance-like at times. It really feels as though every syllable is designed for seduction, akin to the likes of "Trust in Me." The way in which the sound layers are blended really achieves the changeling feel, and not only that, it is incredibly pleasing to the ear. Wonderful mixing. A very creepy, but very, very lovely masterpiece. Well done, Ponyphonic! Brilliant as always!

[@teddybearkiller5271]

I completely agree! (Fun fact this song with its lyrics made me physically sick to my stomach the first time I heard it!)

[@2Foldri]

I have and always will love this song. It's so wholesome and romantic :)

[@ponyphonic]

❤️🍴🥰

[@GamerMage2k-kl4iq]

I JUST learned this exists TODAY! My god is it one hell of a dark “love song” that’s actually a villain song from the Changeling Queen’s POV! It starts off so sweet, but then it goes into just how dark the idea of “feeding off of love” really is.

[@Sarkozuhus]

Can't stop listening to this song. Thank you, Ponyphonic. Just as for The Moon Rises and for Lullaby for a Princess.

[@shaydilane2172]

This is a beautiful piece of music. It is so sophisticated and ethereal and wonderfully creepy. And the vocals are just gorgeous! It’s really nice and always just so interesting to hear a male voice singing a female’s character (and vice-versa!). The lyrics are perfect too. But I think my favorite thing about it is that while this song is MLP themed, it can also be taken out of context without having any ties to the fandom at all. If I didn’t know it was MLP themed, I would listen and wonder about the lyrics without ever thinking it was a fan piece. That was a cool lyrical choice. I enjoy it because fans can love it for what it is, while others who don’t know/aren’t a part of the fandom can enjoy it for completely different reasons. Truly an amazing piece, expertly done!

[@BlindStarLily]

It kind of feels like all of their music is like that, y’know? Up until the description, IE, “Moth eaten, sickly, matted tresses, sharpened teeth. Slitted eyes of green and charcoal skin,” I didn’t even realize the song was MLP themed. I at first assumed it was just in relation to the Irish changelings since that’s how I found it in the first place. It’s cool too because that creepy description gave me inspiration for a character I’m currently working on based in Irish folklore who’s half changeling.

[@UkyoVsShampoo]

I think you've accomplished what you meant to accomplish. It sounds like a love song, but the lyrics are very unsettling and eerie. I love it!

[@LilyK314]

I love the subtle creepiness of this song. A lot of these lyrics would be sweet in a typical love song, but knowing who's singing it puts a disturbing twist on them.

[@billlupin8345]

This is great, vibes of "Every Breath You Take," where the song sounds so romantic until you listen to the lyrics which are actually kinda horrifying.

[@MKtheinstrumentalist]

God, I can't wait for the instrumental of this... Not saying anything against the vocals 'cause they're great, it's just that absolutely delicious chord progression constantly switching keys is just... absolutely sublime.

[@western_sunrise]

Ponyphonic is much like a fine wine. It takes far longer than you'd like for it to come, but it's so worth the wait.

This very much sounds like a queen song... man i Wish i could hear this in Queen Chrysalis's voice, I would be falling for that buggy queen again. EDIT: this really does sound like a Queen (band) song.

[@TheGrinningGamer]

Yo. What a piece. I’m sitting here disturbed and in love. (It’s rather unsettling, actually) Even though G4 has ended, I truly hope this gets an animation at some point. Truly brilliant as always. Well done.😊👏👏👏👏

This has to be the most clever song I've ever heard, with possibly two meaning from the lyrics, a haunting yet beautiful tune, and overall the most unsettling song I've ever heard!

[@redvalentinos1933]

This really is a masterpiece. I almost get a sarcastic feel from it, combined with it being dark and sweet. Been too long since you've posted. Always lovevto hear your voice

[@hexcode7707]

This was... creepy I love it

[@PosityVT]

The lyrics are so dark yet the tune is so serene. Another great piece, well done!

[@LuxuriaU]

Oh wow, I missed your absolute masterpieces, like this. What a brilliant song. It gave such wonderfully creepy undertones, and the idea of the song came across crystal clear. Even unfamiliar listeners could get the point, I believe. You always execute these things concisely and with intention. Brava.

[@OldWorldNobility]

This is a beautiful song, and I just shared the link to it the other day, and stated that I love villains. I think the guy I was working towards dating completely misinterpreted my intentions and likely assumed it was a dig at him, which it wasn’t at all. But this was just after I was unable to meet up with him due to something beyond my control at work. He completely ghosted after claiming previously he wouldn’t do such things. It got to me for a few hours, but you know what? I’m glad he showed his true colors early on instead of down the road. Didn’t say a word to me, just blocked across the board. I started to type out a text, saying I don’t know what I did, but before sending it, I decided no. Screw him. If he’s going to be like that, he doesn’t deserve a moment more of my time. He could have talked to me, like a mature adult. He chose to make assumptions. I’m gonna keep right on living and enjoying my life without skipping a beat. If he chooses to reach out to me again, it will be me who gives silence and a cold shoulder this time. You don’t get a second chance to hurt me. Love and respect yourself ladies and gentlemen. Don’t forgive and tolerate disrespect.

It's been quite a while since I have been left legitimately unsettled by a song. Wonderful work.

[@kitsunefire1]

This is the first song to actually cut me so deeply that it made me physically sick.... "You'll love me, and you'll never love again" made me almost cry in how downright purely evil the intent is... This song is brilliantly written, even if I can only listen to it in chunks ;u;

[@aseriesofletters6346]

[@tylerhenderson9887]

I haven't felt this encapsulated by a song since I first listened to The Moon Rises years ago. Outstanding!

[@FizzleFX]

It's calming. Reassuring. And absolutely *devious* !!! At first its harmless. It then gets worrisome. And before you know it, you mouth hangs agape in pure horror! Yeah... *love this song* ♥

[@purplered1363]

A masterpiece

[@MLPFeverYT]

Every piece of music you write is absolutely fantastic. The theme of everyone of them is spot on, and this is no exception. When is Disney going to hire you soundtrack a film?

[@korpsvart249]

I like to interpret this in a sad way: chrysalis wants love but has never known any. Given that description of her, moth-eaten and sickly, matted tresses, sharpened teeth, she fears no one will love her, so she takes the form of people you love to feel that love. It feels very bittersweet, like she knows how sad and unfortunate her situation is but does it anyway. The part "i feast on your devotion, dear, your love is all I need" almost sounds like it's about to cry. "All i want is just some love" When she says "me, the changeling succubus, and you the unaware" it's as if she's briefly acknowledging how messed up this is but still wants love so continues

[@Stormgnome]

Chrysalis song in a Tim Burton musical/movie. Astounding work!

[@ahmedelosta9551]

I am new to this channel and let me just say I love this. I feel so invited into this world a person created and I love it. I love what you did with your voice, making it sickly and that takes real talent not to even mention how you use the frickin' language to really get the theme across. I love this and thanks for the gift.

[@maxtoan216]

I remember listening to this as I was working on a picture in the middle of the night in a dark room. Switched to browser to check something and this cover art made me jumped.

[@QuelendUnderground]

Even just the first lines really hammer in that the victims 'partner' isn't what they seem to be. "Missing? Goodness no, I have been right here all along." Can either be interpreted as Chrysalis misunderstanding the 'I've missed you' that the victim may have said when they saw who they thought was their lover, which she would've understood correctly had she known how ponies possibly could care for eachother to the point where maybe just being apart for some time would cause them to 'miss' eachother. Or it could be interpreted as chrysalis brushing off that the pony she have chosen may have been missing for a few days, probably because they were killed or something similar, and now she's trying to gaslight the victim into believing nothing could ever have been wrong in the first place. Very cool.
