Jyc Row & Gabriel Borza - Onward (feat. Jessy Christ) [METAL COVER]

Heya everyone!
Finally, a new upload here! And this time, something I wanted to do for a long time... a metal cover of Onward! :D
This is probably the "heaviest" track there is on my channel so far (I mean, this song even contains some screaming in it) and, honestly, I really like how it turned out!
IMPORTANT: Aight, gonna update stuff and all, even though it's kinda meaningless:
I'll be taking a break on music (personal project) and all for an undetermined amount of time.
Been a few days/months I have a lot of trouble doing music things, feeling uninspired and, all in all, completely burned out of it.
I'll just mainly focus myself on the IEO novel this year, wishing to have it done and physically released before conventions, but that's it.
Every other personal projects of mine are now on hold until I get back that "spark" of inspiration/motivation again.
No idea how much time it'll take but don't expect much music from me in 2023 if things don't get better on my end regarding that, might dive into something else to change my horizons and ideas. We'll see how it goes!
Also, to add up to that, as you saw in the video, my program kept crashing several time when I tried to add the lyrics in the video. Doing that takes a lot of time and at the end, well, I said to myself : "Alright, no lyrics it is then". x)
Though, as always, the lyrics are just below, so ye.
Big thanks to Gabriel, as always, for the fantastic guitars and drums! Props to Jessy as well for those powerful vocals - I absolutely LOVE how it turned out, especially the screaming before the last chorus! :D
Also, props to IRUSU for this beautiful artwork of a heavy metal Luna and, of course, to mens59 for the animation! :D
I hope you'll like this cover as much as I do! So... Let's rock!! :D

Lyrics by Aloma Steele:
Across the sea
People are calling me
From every direction
Calls for their protection
I can't talk this out
Oh, they cry so loud
I'll fight like I mean it
Won't quit 'til they're beaten
My-y Goddess of the Night
Guide me with your light
Save us from the demons
They're below
If you're there you know
Nobody can ho-old
Hold you down and we go
Onward! Onward!
Sing your anthem, say your prayer
For the people everywhere
Onward! Onward!
Draw your weapons, arm yourself
In the moonlight give 'em, hell
Onward! Onward!
Sing your anthem, say your prayer
For the people everywhere
Onward! Onward!
Draw your weapons, arm yourself
In the moonlight give 'em, hell
Give your all for me
Give your all for me
For our victory
Give your all for me
(solo)
Don't break from their stares
Give into their nightmares
No scent of emotion
Blood red fills the ocean
Wit'you at my side
Powers that challen'e tides
I'll fight like I mean it
Won't quit till they're beaten
Who's it gonna be tonight
Who's it gonna be tonight
Surrounded by your guiding light
Armed, ready to win the fight
Who's it gonna be tonight
Who's it gonna be tonight
Surrounded by your guiding light
Armed, ready to win the fight
Onward! Onward!
Sing your anthem, say your prayer
For the people everywhere
Onward! Onward!
Draw your weapons, arm yourself
In the moonlight give 'em, hell
Onward! Onward!
Sing your anthem, say your prayer
For the people everywhere
Onward! Onward!
Draw your weapons, arm yourself
In the moonlight give 'em, hell
Give your all for me
Give your all for me
For our victory
Give your all for me
Give your all for me
Give your all for me
For our victory
Give your all for me
Onward! Onward!
Sing your anthem, say your prayer
For the people everywhere
Onward! Onward!
Draw your weapons, arm yourself
In the moonlight give 'em, hell

I wish you the least gloomy journey to a new spark.

Dont worry man just take a well-deversed break, burn out is a no joke!

[@thecrimsoncommando3875]

Don't worry about us, man. Everybody needs a recharge period at one point or another, and you've certainly earned a break with how much high-quality content you've made. Take your time.

[@Eclipse_101]

YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THE EXCITEMENT I GOT JUST SEEING THIS POP UP IN MY NOTIFICATIONS!

[@alphamaccao5224]

Take it easy dude. Forcing art of any kind just makes it worse.

[@kajetanjankowski6339]

Luna look so fierces this time . She looks like a new pony through this song remix . The remix and the animation make me feel lile I was in her show . Luna , you just become my favorite Rock n Roll singer . Jyc , you just make her 20% cooler this time and dont worry about taking a break cause it's important to focus on your life and family

[@JycRow]

Thank you!

[@megaomario]

Hey that's perfectly fine to want to take a break and regain that spark. It comes for us all eventually and it's best to not let it get too bad that you want to quit something you love. Hope this break works wonders for ya and you have a good 2023!

[@JycRow]

Thank you so much!

damn this Luna is so badass, IRUSU is simply a god of art or sth I dunno combined with this awesome cover it's simply divine

[@Princess_Luna2004]

@@JycRow It just seemed to me that this song is not so prominent on this channel, compared to some. Although she is very good. And the cover will make it more popular

[@Roguim]

Amazing cover Onward is one of my favorites of your musics. And take all your time and break that you need. And take care of yourself. Cheers.

[@jordanjonescelestialwaffle1698]

Thanks, Jyc, for this outstanding performance! I never thought I would hear a metal song from you like this, but it sure works in its favor!

[@BlackenedEclipseCurse]

I'm laughing at the mental image of Celestia signing Luna up to do this while Luna had no idea till preforming night.

[@hideousperception]

This is awesome 😎

[@JycRow]

Thanks!

[@bradbrown2019]

So i always expect good music from you Jyc Row but this is just musical perfection. Love your metal covers

[@JycRow]

Happy you like it!

[@Solar-Skies]

So THIS is what Luna was up to on the moon.

[@nocturnalvisionmusic]

Don't worry about taking a break JYC, you deserve it :( I can only imagine how stressful having to produce so frequently can be, even when you enjoy it :c I've gone through it with my artworks from time to time in the last few months and it's sometimes why I will take a month or most of a month off from drawing and uploading pony arts completely, because I need a refreshing -.- I hope you have a great time of rest and recovery, we love you :) I have been especially blessed by your music the last couple years but it can only continue to come when the creator is in good health, and not stress producing :( I hope you will remain well and when you return, you will rise up even stronger and restored 💗 Love you JYC and wish you the best. 🌿 I will always be here to support you in spirit (even if I can't be your Patreon anymore due to my financial limitations D:). You are a blessing to this community and we will always love you! Many hugs 🤗🫂 I look forward to seeing more of your novel story too, this fellow writer is rooting for you :) Beautiful song overall 😌💗

This is so Damn Edgy it Fits Her😎🤘

Ahah, thanks :p

[@SoundwaveX7]

Luna looks so awesome and cool as a metal head performing to her dedicated fans. 😎❤❤ Also I'm sorry to hear that your program kept crashing. 🙁

[@JycRow]

Thanks! And yeah, I don't know what happened but I was just so burned out at the end that I just released it like that ^^"

[@SoundwaveX7]

@@JycRow You're very welcome. :) Oh that's good to hear, I completely understand and your mental health as well as other health issues and personal life are FAR much more important. Thank you very much for sharing with us very awesome songs in the My Little Pony Fandom. God bless and stay safe.

[@Jokerr_2020]

To be honest... I rather original XD I mean, music itself is really good and I love how it's chagned into metal style, but I feel it's a little... quiet? Or something? And vocal sounds muffled. I'm really fan of metal music, but here... I feel it could be better. Especially looking at your other works. Like "Sun of The Night", "The Necromancer" or "Luna's Future" remix/edit

[@JycRow]

That's a valid opinion! I expected some people might not like this version, which is fine! :) Regarding the vocals, I admit I wanted to try some sort of mixing technique, where I put the background vocals 100% right and 100% left. When I listen to it on my monitors and my earphones, the vocals sound absolutely right but it's indeed possible that on some other device it might sound muffled, my apologies for that!

[@spilak2591]

Onward was the first song i ever heard from you (on another epic music channel) so happy we have a metal cover now

[@Hollowki]

YEAAAAAH THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS OF YOURS, AND THIS IS AMAZING!!! 💜💜💜💜

[@AceHerobrine]

Oh heck yes, I've been waiting for this

[@Starshine1707]

somehow i've always been inspired by your music i don't have a song of yours that i don't like keep it up and luna's animation is really epic 🙂

[@daemonlion8348]

So awesome! Love it!

[@Wendek.]

Good luck with your other projects (and rest well!), you're super talented and I hope you'll come back to us soon! Can't wait to hear more Infinity Eclipse or Elden Wing stuff in the future :)

[@belmondziarz1990]

Thanks for all you have done, Jyc. Ur song are literally my favorites one and also u were my most popular creator on Spotify, especially ,,Together against sisters". Take break if u feel burnt out and come back to us when u will feel ready with even more epic songs and great histories within them.

Well, I'm gonna tell you something. EVERYTIME I see this appear in my feed, even if it's slightly on the corner of my eye, I'll definitely hear this song. And let me tell you something else: "KZbin recommends me this more than 5 times a day, so I listen to this song ALL THE TIME" Thanks Jyc, not only you managed to mix my MLP and Rock nostalgia in one song, you also made KZbin sit on your lap like a good puppy.

[@thinkkirby9025]

I'm glad this was given to us along with it being the day after my Birthday. :) (I was too late for this, sorry.)

Ngl... these metal versions of songs seem like... off rythm and less coherent. Personal opinion and taste probably but...

Merhaba hocam

[@purplepartytigerd1598]

Have to agree, at least with this particular song. Hate to say it but this felt like a miss for me.

[@bigbadaboooom]

this is because metal music often uses complex rhythms, and they just sounds kinda off

[@JycRow]

Which is a totally valid opinion - I expected that some people might not like this version ^^
