replacer + koa - unicycle groove [ponies at dawn: blossom]

Thanks Koa for unicyclin' with me. We worked on the song here and there between November 2023 and February, and then in keeping with that spirit, also collabed on the artwork!
Almost off the bat, we agreed on aiming for something disco-y featuring Izzy Moonbow. I dusted off one of my rough demos and we shared production roughly equally. We discussed splitting lyrical duties but in the end Koa took care of business.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Hi friend!
I hope you don’t mind me stoppin’ by
Just thought
You looked a little misty in the eyes
If it’s okay
I’d like to help you out today
What do you say?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Let’s suss out this rusty-dusty mess
Seems like you got a block up in your head
(It’s true I’m just a little blue
Stuck in a rut, don’t know what to do)
I can think of a couple things
To bring back the bling, if you know what I mean
(I’m really not sure that I do)
Well, let Izzy walk you through:
[Chorus]
Oh - fluff out the feathers
Get in the flow - shake out the glitter
Lettin’ it go - splashin’ the color
We’re gonna break that cycle
Ooh - stitch in the sequins
It’s up to you - craft out your feelin’s
Doodly doo - a new kind of healin’
Get in the u-ni-cycle
Groove
[Post Chorus]
Get in the groove
Show me ya moves
Get in the u-ni-cycle
Groove
Get in the groove
Show me ya moves
Get in the unicycle groove
[Verse 2]
(Hey, so
Not that I don’t appreciate it, but
I’m not
The most experienced with all this stuff
What if what I make
Amounts to nothing more than a mistake?
What if it breaks?!)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well, then
We’ll pick up the pieces, work together
To make something new, ‘cause it’s whatever
You don’t need to fret, it’s good to make
To make for just creation’s sake
(I only wish that I could trust
That I’m not gonna mess it up!)
There’s nothing wrong at all, my friend
With happy little accidents!
[Chorus + Post Chorus]

[@DXIndustriesInc]

Bruh, idk why but I legit thought they were trying to bury a dead body... it took me literally WAY too long to realize that was just a painting 💀

[@replacer]

I can't believe koa is dead

[@ShellSpinMLP]

Koa came so strong on blossom fr. and 2 songs from replacer was a nice treat! blue horse gang 🩵

[@replacer]

blue horse gang💙

[@PeacePetal]

I AM ADDICTED TO THIS NOW

[@radiantharmony2474]

IKR? I've been listening to it on loop every day!

[@triggerhurt]

for some reason, hearing that "doodly doo" just makes my heart melt

[@johnweber4504]

The legendary one frame bob Ross

[@meaburror7653]

replacer + koa? instant classic!

[@arti2901deer]

It just made my day bearable, during a hard day at work... Just been blasting the unicycle groove on headphones, while drilling, milling and putting together doors and windows:}

[@Bee_Tea_Sea]

The little squee sfx in the background loop made me unreasonably happy Such a good listen, beginning to end I give it five out of five stars

[@XxMayo_JuicexX]

I listened to your songs when I around 12-13. In my 20s, when getting into MLP again, I remembered about listening to your songs but couldn't find you for the longest time and I'm so happy that I finally have and I was especially really happy to see you still making MLP songs, I really like G5 so I'm so glad you have made this song 😄

[@AntonBode]

Hah, I saw that sneaky Bob Ross! Great song, super catchy! :D

[@alfiearmadillo]

Yooo, maybe my 2 favourite horse music artists in one song? Huge!

[@PlayerUzU]

This became my favorite brony song, koa vocals with the amazing intrumentals are just gold!

[@Pamfafoofle]

This was my favorite track from Blossom. Koa has been a favorite music artist of mine for years, and in addition to her other talents, it appears that she does a very impressive Izzy, especially during the spoken parts. I love the background Izzy noises towards the end. Excellent collaboration.

[@Berneri]

new horse music?? what a groove, absolutely!

[@dbponymusic]

Boy oh boy my heart swoons whenever I see something from you

[@TheGuangmaster]

Y'all did FANTASTIC on this one, the vibes are immaculate. Love the silly Izzy noises at the end and the art as always.

[@arandomperson12345]

A collab between you and Koa is truly a gift! One of my favorite tracks across the entire PaD album, and so catchy, that, weeks after watching the album premiere, just seeing the notification was enough to get this stuck back in my head most of the day just from the memory. As usual, the production is impeccable! The typography was also super fun and adorable - a lot of personality comes through it, and between that and the song itself, you guys really captured Izzy's positive and eccentric vibe!

[@katiebreeze2705]

This song gives me the best vibes. Big Koa fan, too, so this is perfect. 14/10

[@jonahbologna123]

Happy birthday replacer!!

[@flutterbree]

that chord progression in the chorus is WAY too catchy! can't get it out of my head! 😂😊

[@racapinang]

I'm in love with this track since the Pony Town premier party! The best one from Blossom album! Love your work!

[@synchronizeddissonance6243]

The more you listen to the song, the more new bits you discover. Some of my favorite bits: 0:36 strings kicking in! 0:54, 2:24, 3:35 the digital drum thingies (I have no idea what they're actually called) being a little mischievous. 1:51 electric piano doing a little jingle and of course, Izzy noises in the background

[@Ana_Ng]

really nice! i love how you and koa mesh in this, it's such a great contrast i really gotta pay more attention to ponies at dawn, i usually only hear they've done a thing when you upload here

[@AWalYT]

Mona Koa is not something I knew I needed in my life.

[@sr.3883]

Maaaan, listening to this song really got me inspired to start drawing again! "It's good to make for just creation's sake", goes hard!

[@MaresMaresMares]

THIS is the powerhouse duo I was referring to. And gosh, do I ever love Happy.

[@DMC4EVERUCCI]

oh my 😭 that was SUCH a BANGER

[@Sarum9nich]

Needs more views.

[@Wakkeer]
