I'm writing this from a hospital delivery room, waiting for my wife to deliver our baby daughter. This song has been our anthem for the past few weeks as we approached this day. It took us a long time to get pregnant and for a while we didn't think it would happen, but Here We Are. Thanks for this song, folks. God bless you.

[@cutelilly1000vedios]

Tell your Daughter happy birthday for me! lol

[@candy_floss9135]

How did I not know about this song until now?!

Have you checked out the BRONY MUSIC ARCHIVE? It is impossible for any casual youtuber to have listened to EVERYTHING [you would had burned out!]. Keep lurking, and remember: _"The Ride Never Ends"_

[@thecrapnest6346]

9 whole years of this fandom...this song has a new meaning now

[@HenBasketFireAlarms]

I bet a lot of people would say this is better than most mainstream music, if they didn't know this was about MLP.

[@CJCroen1393]

Are you implying that it's NOT better?

[@liva9157]

I think this song should get into the Mlp universe. Still I like all of the original songs from mlp 2.

[@shadowspector3611]

CJCroen1393: not sure if this is meant to be humorous but in the case it isn't, the original commenter was saying that people would say that the music is good but if they found out it was from mlp, then they would write it off as bad music simply because they won't give anything mlp related a chance.

[@dalilarocha4562]

@@shadowspector3611 Exactly! Because people have a silly way of seeing things.

[@val-vishkatheenthraller]

Agreed

[@squidee1177]

I love how this is like a response song to 'Are we there yet'

[@BudCharlesUnderVlogs]

"Time moves fast if you're too busy to watch it go" For some reason that line hits me the most emotionally. I'm not sure why, but I just get chills when I hear it. I think it's the way the pace totally slows down just for a second for that line, it really hits at just the right time :3

[@hizkias2679]

i swear i see you on every mlp music video.

[@Kutaloo]

Lol

[@abigailc.5126]

Bud Charles Maybe because it's true?

[@punbug4721]

"See who they really wanna be" does it for me. Probably because it's a callback to Diamond Tiara's song, and that one hit me pretty hard. This pair of CMC songs is so powerful. I love FiM for its continuity. We've seen these characters at their best, at their worst, at their highest peaks, at their deepest lows, and seeing them finally reach a long-awaited goal is soooo special. I'm a college student limping through my third semester, praying for some scrap of hope to cling to. My grades are shot, and I'm already looking at a fifth year at best or having to drop out at worst. In this light, the lines, "Reflecting on the moments you lost/ The moments you thought would finally be the end," have an incredible influence on me. Being reminded of the CMC's story is so inspiring. I'm literally crying right now. And if I get to graduation, I'm going to play this song on loop for hours and cry like a freaking baby. Thank you, Gryphon. And tell Michelle I said thanks, too.

[@ryanbelmont2676]

Bud Charles PRETTY AWESOME SONG!!!!

[@princessaur]

"Are we there yet?" "Here we are" *sheds a tear*

[@Star-gaze55]

Next title: "finally! We've been sitting in this hot car forever!" 😂

[@ShadowRaptor1O1]

Every time I hear "I was starting to believe that we would never get this far", I can't help but remember how everyone wrote off this fandom as a fad; that we would quickly fade into obscurity and just be remembered as a weird cult that disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Yet, here we are, 6 seasons and 4 movies later, with a feature-length film on the horizon. I still can't believe we made it this far

[@edgarruiz4073]

I love your interpretation of that line. I hadn't thought of it that way. And I very much agree.

[@anonofyesterday4650]

And it's far from over. Our numbers may not be increasing as rapidly as they used to but the bronies who stay are continuously growing closer to the fandom.

[@Jaydove2387]

It is so perfect that you have the actual voice for Apple Bloom singing in this. It just fits so well and you struck gold being able to do so much music with her. Your voices together make me melt.

[@Sircreepington9th]

5 years ago, I played this for my classmates on our last day of high school. Good times…

[@haidenlockz]

[@FlareJay]

[@ShadyDoorags]

The rest of your songs are great, but this one is my absolute fave. The lyrics. The music. Just everything about this song is perfect. The tone of it all captures the moment so well of how it feels to FINALLY accomplish something after an incredibly long time of hard work. Reminds me of graduating high school, college, getting my first real job, etc. I love how the song starts in this sort of calm way and then it builds up to a burst of emotion during the chorus, as if a Person who just heard the good news of their accomplishment is slowly realizing that they're dream is finally coming true until finally... HERE WE ARE!

[@albertovasquez1385]

You could be a light in the dead of the night Instead of searching for the light yourself Reflecting on the moments you lost The moments you thought would finally be the end Searching for the light in the dead of the night When I could light the way for someone else Forgetting all the moments I lost The more that I thought I'd never see the end And now the timing is right, stepping into the light You finally found a way to be yourself I realize that I needed this road, I needed to know I'd find it in the end So here we are I was starting to believe that we would never get this far But here we are There's no turning back now, we're further than the stars And here we are After searching all those years, we've finally found our destiny So here we are And we'll make a new mark by helping others see (see who they really wanna be) Time moves fast if you're too busy to watch it go But I remember the years by realizing all we didn't know These young eyes looking all around for something bigger than we could see But no doubt could ever slow us down, drawn by the promise of eventually And now the timing is right, stepping into the light You finally found a way to be yourself I realize that I needed this road, I needed to know I'd find it in the end So here we are I was starting to believe that we would never get this far But here we are There's no turning back now, we're further than the stars And here we are After searching all those years, we've finally found our destiny So here we are And we'll make a new mark by helping others see (see who they really wanna be)

[@binkyt11]

Hi there. Just recently I left a state competition and I just want to say thank you for this song.. I listened to it often traveling from my home of Long Island to Syracuse in upstate New York as a form of motivation. The past days have been busy so I haven't been able to listen to it.. I'm currently on the homebound bus and I was devastated that we didn't even place in the top 3. Not because I didn't feel like the winners didn't deserve It, but rather I felt like I didn't do enough for myself, my teammate, and my school. In all honesty I hated myself for it and had no else to blame for it but myself. I left with the excuse of nausea once it twice so no one could see it. As soon as we left I just put on my playlist to calm myself. This song was the last one I heard and it started playing.. Listening to the lyrics again and even closer made me realize that this wasn't about winning or losing.. That I wasn't useless. I had dinner something for myself I would never had done years ago. That I finally let go of my worries and saw that I had Chan greed for the better... Thank you all so much for this beautiful song. Your voices carry this so much higher and I love it. Don't ever stop doing what you love and always look to the next best thing.

[@SlyphStorm]

Good stuff as always

[@rabbit102099]

Yes! I love the first song and this is a perfect follow up song! It is so beautiful! Thank you for your beautiful music that is always a joy to my ears!

[@c.l947]

Thanks, thanks so much for encompassing the beginning of my university career with "Are we there yet?" and ending it with this fantastic tune, after four years it really speaks to me "Here we are" and all your other music. It helps me with my writing and boosts my confidence that perhaps I could be writing for a major show/series some time in the future. I would say more but I have tried to re-word this several times and youtube has failed me. I woudl just like to say thank-you. Thanks so much Black Gryp0n, and the rest of the pony family. You've really helped through these difficult years.

[@strangess13]

Thank you so much for this song. I'm sad you're both able to sing it with such conviction for that implies deep moments of despair. But thank you all the more for sharing a song about seeing it through beyond those chasms in our sense of meaning and purpose. It was a shield tonight for me amidst a nadir in my own despair.

I keep tearing up every time I hear it, even though I've listened about 4 times in a row now.... it surprisingly fits so perfectly after the this last Bronycon where I saw you all perform your new music.... everything about this makes me emotional, especially the chorus.

I've been listening to the former track for years and have loved it, and then you drop this when 'IT' happened. It's all just so perfect. You guys have really captured the thoughts and feelings of the CMC to a tee.

Nice song, and the CMCs helping others discover/remember their true talents is most inspirational.

[@KitsuneSkyy]

OMG this song i love it so much

[@Nevelation7]

Gonna admit, Crusader is my favorite song of all time. It has been for years and the second I saw this one pop up on KZbin, I was like. There's no way this can beat Crusader. And there's really no way it can. Crusader was the very first song I ever did karaoke to in a public place (Even have it up on my channel) and thus holds that special place in my heart and it'll never leave. :) This song had a very high bar set in front of it that there was no chance for it to get over. And I wasn't wrong but it did kick that bar in the nuts on the way up. This is great, I loved it and I cannot wait for your album. Immortal is still my number 1 fav album out off all the ones i own, and I never get tired of hearing any song from it. I'm hoping this album will be just as great. Tho, I might not ever get to see you perform it live like I did your Immortal album at Bronycon '14. Just gonna say this here and now to end this. You guys are amazing and I pray you'll never stop making music! :)

[@northwoods988]

As far as possible new themes, I think you could work some magic with Doctor Who, based on what you did in "Run". (One of my favorites of yours)

[@theringleader5596]

***** oh, well, it still wasn't originally made by you, right?

[@northwoods988]

+Nick Russel I meant them as a duo, but seeing as it's posted on only one channel and I was a bit vague about it, I can see how the mistake could be made.

[@BlackGryph0n]

+Nick Russel It was originally made by both of us, but I didn't write it. Nate sent me the lyrics while he was making the track, and I recorded vocals for him. :-)

One thing that I love about this song and Crusader-Are We There Yet is that its like telling a story with Are We There yet being the beginning and Here We are Being the end.

[@zerastardust1712]

WHY!? Why is brony music so f*cking AWESOME!?!?!?

[@rainbowflash5937]

I don't know thr exact reason but many people got very inspirated by the show and its creativity. It made people show there true side without fear and so creativity also engaged in it and then it just kept going. To this day Bronies puplish Music, Art and Animation more or less related to the actual show from 2011. But they do money with labels like Ponies at Dawn, A State of Sugar or Equinity.
