Replacer - Song for an Earth Pony

[@The20AndOnly]

This came out when I was 11, and I'm 19 now. Thank you for helping me throughout my adolescence and guiding me with your music. It still means the world to me, even now.

[@nanisarchive2042]

I'm in exactly the same boat! Thank you for all

[@MyLittlePonyEspañolLatino]

I have so many sensations right now, i just can say, this is wonderful

[@sushimaldonado6168]

This song is very very important to me. Especially right now. Thank you so much for making it, it's the backbone of my emotional state at the moment.

[@dropkickproductiontx]

As a recording engineer, I must say that this is actually a *superbly* recorded song! Everything is extremely crisp and clean sounding, nothing overlaps anything else, there's no mud in the mix or anything. The vocals sit very nice and compliment the instrumentation spectacularly. Very good work, Replacer!

[@replacer]

dropkickproductiontx thank you :) the song was very important to me at the time, and in a way it's still sitting there daring me to top it...I put a lot of thought into everything but I never considered it any sort of audio engineering triumph, so I'm really happy to hear these thoughts.

[@NerdyMathmagician]

@@replacer I don't know if you feel the same, but to me your recent song, "days of silence" finally topped this one as a creative masterpiece. The myriad of ways you can interpret the lyrics as well as the beautiful composition really sets it above all else in my eyes. Even six months later I still can't get enough of it!

[@replacer]

@@NerdyMathmagician I think I agree, days of silence is better

[@jijonbreaker]

Out of every song the fandom ever produced... This is the one that has always stuck with me, and hits home with a lot of who I am. Still an absolute masterpiece.

[@Bacon_Hamilton]

You know a song is memorable when you remember the melody for four years.. WELL done, Replacer!

[@Observer1772]

Bacon Hamilton Yes oh my god and I still remember it

[@vulkris]

I woke up to this song playing on my youtube-generated playlist and felt like I was having a heart attack while floating in the clouds.

[@Tulder]

I started watching and interacting with mlp very early 2012, around the end of the second season and a bit before this song was released. I miss the early times of the fandom. Not that its bad now, its just... different. All the creativity on youtube and other places surrounding the first 2 seasons were insane. You could click around on related mlp videos for hours and find hundreds of budding musicians like yourself. Now most have moved onto bigger and better things but its nice to see you're one who hasn't forgotten. (and deleted your youtube in an effort to commit brony internet suicide) Thank you Replacer for the nostalgia and great times

[@replacer]

I won't delete this stuff. If it was good enough to upload in the first place it's good enough to keep around. Besides, I've got unfinished business here.

[@xavierthe9]

+replacer That's a really cool mindset. "If it was good enough to upload in the first place it's good enough to keep around." I like that. :)

[@0zDune]

The times have changed, but our love for the songs, the music that speaks to the soul will never change

[@TheCoffeeBird]

I actually would like to disagree here. Yes he profited, but don't you think the others did too? There was a supply and demand, and not to mention, maybe TLT just wanted to try other things. He's done some great original music to other remixes. And that bit about FNAF, I think that fandom in itself almost gave him a breakdown (at least that is the concencus of theory) KZbin is or was, a good way for people that had talent, or could bring back consistent views, to gain some money. It was and still is to some, a job. So I think you are judging too harshly, but that is just my viewpoint on that matter.

[@Aventrixmusic]

hey there are plenty of musicians around now. you should see the fandom now.

[@jetgrey3905]

No one will, no one can replace Replacer

[@sirbobthemarvelous]

yep

[@jijonbreaker]

Hi Grey

[@mayairving1078]

This song perfectly depicts falling in love with someone who is everything, whilst you are nothing. Thank you for making this.

[@LilEuphie]

Okay coming back to this because this is likely my favorite song that came from the brony era. The slow and melodic piano bits are incredible and it's not something I heard often during those times. The lyrics told a beautiful yet heartbreaking story and the way the words are sung give it so much emotion. The ending is superb, the timing is amazing. Bravissimo, encore!!

[@Xidnaf]

God, this song is different every time I listen to it. Sometimes it's depressing as hell, but sometimes it just seems . . . hopeful.

[@Lorkhanable]

The show is dead asf right now am i right?

[@repton007]

Sup my dude! I enjoyed your language videos a lot😅. But you are into bigger things now I'm sure. Sending prayers

[@bashinginminds1126]

Replacer's one of the most dynamic musicians I've ever heard. Every piece is something new, and yet he executes different genres so well. This piece, to me, captures melancholic happiness - bittersweet.

[@legacyofvrak]

You know, I often come back to this era of music and videos, not only for the mild nostalgia, but because songs like this have a deeper meaning once you're older I was 14 years old when I heard this, now I'm 20, and the lyrics took a deeper message since then Thank you very much, Replacer, for keeping your vids up, and making these songs, you have my eternal gratitude for that.

[@josselynschick9005]

really interesting to come back and listen to this years after hearing it the first time. i remember listening to this song in seventh grade and it hit me in such a special place back then, and it still does today, 6 years later. thank you for keeping this up, wishing you the best

[@mra0479]

Yeah, he is one of those creators of the fandom that will never let it die out, even when the show ends.

[@williamdelaney980]

Now you have me calling my non-brony boyfriend my "earth pony." Whatever this song is to you years from now, it is something to him and me. Thank you.

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

You are now my favorite brownie musician.

[@survivrawrrvasquez4145]

brownie?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!? XD

[@replacer]

I love brownies

[@survivrawrrvasquez4145]

Ys me too

[@skybolt775]

survivRAWRR Vasquez Me three! why do we find the same vids surviv?

[@survivrawrrvasquez4145]

I have no idea.....

[@UnintentionalFan]

It's been 8 years since I discovered your music, and wow what a time it has been. I'm rediscovering the fandom and falling in love with all the music again, and Replacer, it needs to be said: What you gave the fandom is so incredibly unique and inspiring. I hope you know that you were and are a shining beacon in an ocean of content.

[@plazmikpond]

Just wanted to come back here to comment that.. this song is one of the few songs that got me into brony music. I remember when I was like 10 (early 2013) and I went home one day and got on KZbin (it was late at night at the time) then, as usual, watched pony videos on my family's Computer (hella cringe, ik). Instead of watching episodes, pmv's, and fanmade videos that day I searched up "pony songs" I think then, I scrolled down a bit and found this. I listened to this song and... It made me want more! Ever since I've loved the music this fandom has produced. I've been a brony since 2011 but it wasn't until late 2012 - early 2013ish that I got into the music side of this fandom (ik, I said early 2013 earlier but tbh... I don't remember whether it was late 2012 or early-ish 2013). In general I just wanted to say thank you Replacer, that you for helping me to discover the music side of this fandom. And yes, I know that sounds really random but it's true. It didn't all start with this song but it was this song that, in a way, reeled me in more. I honestly would've thought that, before I found this fandom in 2011, that a show about colorful ponies and freindship would make such an impact on my life. And I also wouldn't have imagined that the fandom that emerged from it would mean so much to as well.

[@EastPlanet]

Over one year since I heard this and I still get goosebumps. One of my favorite songs ever made right here.

[@arcblooper2699]

Hi, old school brony here who hasn’t watched avidly since like 2013 checking in This song remains super ethereal sounding and I love it

[@vfreeman1204]

Always find myself coming back to this, such a classic.

[@nintendokid94]

This is where everything started for me. This is the very first song I heard and I've been listening it for years. Until I got curious about what other songs you post. Now I heard all of your songs (Including Can't Be Real). I love your songs man

[@NuminosX]

You're still one of my favorite musicians. No one could replace you : )

[@sabrinamarie3974]

Wow, this I love this song; especially your soft-tone voice against the harsher sound of the background orchestration. Nice job!

[@PercipientFish]

You know, you've always been my personal favorite out of all the brony musicians. Not just because the music you write is fantastic, but because you're also a great friend whose helped me out tremendously as an artist. Your work is stunning and heartfelt, and it's especially evident in this. Even moreso than A Pony Like Me. No one's gonna replace you, not in my eyes.

[@mrscout0212]

Such a wonderful song. Its people like you that make this fandom great.

[@makkon06]

You astound me, you honestly do. And I hate to say this, but if you were to do some non-pony tracks I honestly think you could be a successful independent artist and sell your work.

[@ColleenSupreme]

Holy crap, man....earned a subscriber. The lyrics...the song, is beautiful. Just...wow. Words are an injustice.

[@LilEuphie]

It's 2019, I still love this song

[@rianjams]

the breakdown at 3:10 is one of my favorite musical sections out of all the music I've ever listened to

[@MrSilbarita]

+rian But that leadup tho, I've become fascinated with the chord buildup that comes to that resolution, it is just pure genius.

[@Hobbes2]

The very beginning and ending of this song are just incredible. Instantly gets going with a fast paced and catchy melody and closes with a completely original take on the melody that acts as a very satisfying closure. It's apparent how much better you've gotten in terms of your vocals since 11 years ago but your stylization is apparent even that far back, which is really cool. Overall this song is really cool and if I had found it when it first came out I know I'd have listened to it a 100 times over lol.

[@calebstinson6574]

A bit over 5 years now. I remember when this song came out. Was beautiful. Still is. This is a song you can come back and still enjoy. Thank you for the memories.

[@TotallyLui]

I still come back to this song every month. I love the soft tones

[@kevinoleary1043]

This song really is beautiful and deserves many more likes and views

[@CleverBrony]

I've grown away from this fandom but I do have to say it's the most productive and creative out of all others. I have about a thousand brony songs on my phone from over the years.

[@andrewoid100]

+Red Eye Raza Your name is great ... is it Death Gun?

[@CleverBrony]

+Andrew Farrow who's "Death Gun"?

[@GigawingsVideo]

Yarp. The great thing about the fandom is just how many great songs produced. I still have them and enjoyed them. Meanwhile current fandoms like FNAF, UTale and SU got too much anger and arguments in it rather than churning great original piece. Right now I'm stepping into My Hero Academia fandom, I just hope this fandom doesn't fell into the horrible negativity pit like the others.

[@bxtchpleasee]

GigawingsVideo and what about MHA fandom?

[@CleverBrony]

still here just older drunk and going down a rabbit whole i didn't think i would revisit

[@Doservet]

This style... this beat... those vocals... you are now my absolute favorite artist. All the others don't even compare.

[@thinthle]

Came across the game where your music was featured and swore it sounded familiar So glad I found them to come in contact with your songs again. They still hold up *:D* After all these years.

[@cuddleszorgy]

I know I'm about 10 years too late, but I utterly love this song. Seriously, you rock!

[@bumix8050]

After all thede years...this song still brings me to tears

[@giggle.3035]

This song was the reason why I found the brony fandom intriguing. I started watching the show and found interest in it. After season 3 I stopped watching out of my rage of the monstrosity Alicorn. But I won't even forget this song. Love to listen to this while its raining. I also listen to it when I have a bad time. Thanks for all the things I listed, man. Was Proud To Be A Brony. My last brohoof goes to you /).

[@protatype7487]

Just returning to my soul’s favorite track from my teen years. Thinking of all the loves I’ve had to your crazy tunes, Replacer.

[@dnotive]

3:07 Goosebumps dude, Jesus. I just love the way this builds and breaks down. The beat is perfect for head bobbing, and everything else is so deliciously minimal until the appropriate time comes to deliver the emotional 1-2 to the face. That time signature change too, damn. Once again I am just blown away... .... ... also is it bad that I might be developing an unhealthy attraction to your OC? ... >.>;

[@jaysmom1998]

One of the all time best Brony songs.

[@shecat105]

Your username is magnificent!

[@jaysmom1998]

Thank you, kind gentleduck.

[@shecat105]

XD

[@Ninjapants237]

You must bow down to the Great and Powerful Turtle Lord!

[@iancollins9960]

Do you know my sister, The Potato Goddess?

[@Mr607far]

This song reminds me of me and my sister who passed away and all the good times we had together, I just wanted to say thank you replacer for making this song for both of us.

[@dustykatt]

Chills..........bucking chills

[@pennyenvelope9624]

that cutie mark is freaking genius

[@LeifMaelstrom]

This song. It hurts me to listen, but I drag myself through it again and again. I can feel the depth that you dredged the emotion for this from. Definitely my favorite of yours so far!

[@MaddieTourmaline]

Wow, dying from the feels. This is an incredible, brilliantly directed song.

[@mra0479]

Amazing work of art, I forget if I every gave a comment stating how much I loved this song or not. Either way it deserves two anyway. The notes hit deep into the mind, and perfect personification of a pony. Very relatable but has a sound and feeling of far away for a sense of hope. Awesome work I don't understand why you have so few subs! You deserve a full career off of this stuff.

[@vincentquinn9212]

Coming back to this ten years later and the opening still sends me into tears. Thanks for the memories, replacer.

[@AxieSpot]

2022, my mp3 still states june 2013, nothing beats summers of the early mlp days. i always come back this song and many of foozogz old art, it's beautiful

[@Snowballowo]

Still listening 9 years later lol you made one hell of a banger dude ;3

[@artgrey3984]

Oh man, I still love this song, even after hearing it countless times. Great work, Replacer, you will always have a special place in my heart.

[@majestickfire9]

I love how your songs always sound happy and light yet can sound sad at the same time.

[@Nosnibormada1]

Oh wow. I love the vocal to this, how it sounds really quiet and almost whispered. The mixture of orchestral timbres with a jungle beat is quite inspired. And sweet jesus, that piano solo in the middle. This is straight up fantastic!

[@nelly17ful]

Not sure if you’ll see this but thank you so much for creating this song. For a decade it’s what brought me peace and happiness whenever I felt low and it’s one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I hope you’re doing well 💙

[@DavidSRiffMusicPony]

That was fantastic! The changing motifs eased in so smoothly and still carried the same intention. I loved the ending resolution too! Great work dude.

[@Alexnea2015]

you will never be replaced, at least in my heart :,3

[@thegameenforcer]

This song broke a two week long period of writers' block. Thank you, more than you can imagine, thank you.

[@Xelvanox2]

I'm not sure why I wasn't subbed, but that problem was quickly corrected. This is a wonderful piece that provokes actual emotional responses, unlike much of the music out there today. Thank you for writing and recording this song.

[@Tulder]

"I know one day you're gunna fly." That line brought tears to my eyes when made the connection with the rest of the story.

[@gretchenwalker8922]

I’m not into MLP anymore but I’m going through a break up and I found myself returning to this song five years later. The lyrics so perfectly describe my situation somehow, and it’s so nice to be able to understand my feeling through this beautiful song. “I hope that nobody replaces me” is just too real and I can’t stop crying

[@McMacTheKnife]

Going through your channel again just cuz, maybe for a nostalgia trip or something, but I just want to tell you how much I love this song. Everything about it is beautiful. It's been a while since I last heard it, but listening to it now brings me back, as well as reminds me how good it is. I don't really now how to explain it, but it makes me feel a certain way. I love it. Idk exactly what I'm trying to get at, but thanks for this song, thanks for the music you've made, and thank you for anything you do in the future.

[@andrewoid100]

Replacer deserves so much more views! Recently, I moved to London but my sister is staying back home with my mum! We've been REALLY close and through the depressingly bad household we was brought up in, we ALWAYS had each other, now I'm moving away from the bad house ... It's really upsetting for the both of us, I know she'd be happier here especially with me but she's stuck in one of the worst places ever! This song explains exactly how I feel, I really hope she'll be alright.

[@theclinger]

Replacer, I have a few niche artists that I follow pretty closely, and even after following them closely for many years this one song is easily top three for me. Thank you. Keep on keeping on.

[@mangofoalix]

Absolutely fell in love with this song. It's something different from what I am used too. The vocals are a bit monotone with great instrumental. It's a great combination.

[@ButNotTonight]

There it goes, straight to the heart.

[@DoritoBurrito77]

years later I still come back to this song every once in a while and it's still fantastic. one of those songs I'll never forget

[@alllevelsatonce]

This is really cool and I like it. That progression is super creative and the vocals are superb

[@StealingCookiez]

This is definitely my favorite song of 2012. Feather's art makes this song even more spectacular. I can imagine a whole story.

[@TurnArklight]

It's amazing how everything that comes from your channel just sounds completely fresh.

[@Khyrberos]

Despite being a pretty active Brony years ago, I never heard of you or your music... And I have to say, as a complete newcomer, this song really got me. Incredible stuff. Subscribed & listening for more.

[@t-spark]

I was told today that my level of happiness, kindness, and hope for the world is unsustainable. I hope not, but I sometimes wonder. I have seen extremely kind people start to shatter a little, or turn away from the light. I hope the bitterness never reaches you. Even when the rush of ponies is far past, let's hold onto this. This song's beautiful.

[@roflmao88]

This is the first vocal music within the fandom I've ever taken a liking to. Thank you, dominian42.

[@Ricky_85_ricky]

It was amazing hearing this live at Ponycon AU , great performance!

[@sunstationed]

there really aren't words to express how amazing this song is, it just gives off so much emotion and you can tell that you put a lot of thought and work into this. the implied story is also very deep and not just something anyone could come up with or share. this deserves the very HIGHEST and EPICEST of brohoofs. though, i don't think even that would be enough. keep on making music... and this may sound cheesy but, thank you.

[@PieEaterV2]

It's EXTREMELY rare that I download a song before I've given it at least one complete listen through. This is one of those songs. I'm in love.

[@artgrey3984]

I love this song. Just like Cerulean blue, the feeling of nostalgia is incredible. thank you, Replacer for keeping this alive for us. Also, that album art is f*cking adorable. That is all.

[@TopNotchBrony]

This... this is beautiful. Songs like these make me proud to be a brony. A truly amazing song mate, keep it up!

[@thunderfox2567]

This song is beautiful... you did a excellent job making it. I listened to it over and over again, that's how much i loved it.

[@4everfreebrony]

Your performance was outstanding, good sir! I don't know how else to put it. I really liked how fast paced "No Words" was played. The finale was fantastic! Perfect song to end with at Everfree!

[@Dibxmonkey]

I love all of your tracks, seriously. You converted me from the dub-electro pony genre with Luna Waited. Then I found Cerulean Blue.. then Loyalty and Crusade no More. I just got lost in your music, and today I feel like in this song I didn't get lost, I found myself. It has a wonderful instrument and meaningful lyrics. Amazing job.

[@FritoyezSchumann]

I was in England recently and had very limited internet access. The day I was about to leave the only place I could access internet on I snatched an Eqd post of this song, so I downloaded it to my MP3 without listing to it first. Then while traveling in a rental car through the country-side i played it in my ears... It was so undescribingly glorious. I re listened it many times then during stays on hotels, and on the airplane back.

[@mySmores]

Replacer, thank you for giving songs to community. It really means a lot to us! :)

[@hannahmayVA]

I cannot even express how much I love this song. And all of your songs, because you have never gone wrong once. But this track is chillingly beautiful. I don't care how many subscribers you have or the views per video, in my mind you are absolutely the best there is.

[@TwilightSparkleSexyTime]

This is an enchanting song.~

[@sykeassai]

I had totally forgotten this song existed. But it might have just come back to me at just the time i needed it.

[@8BITZAK]

I remember this coming out around when i was 10-11 i would listen to this song so much and now im 23 about to turn 24 started to watch the show again bc i started feeling sad about my life and im starting to remember all the things i loved about the show and the fandom..thx you.

[@TheRobotButterfly]

OK Replacer Literally everything you do is amazing. There is no doubt about that. But this soars above and beyond everything I've heard from you. You can tell that it comes from a personal place. This is heartbreaking. Every time I hear it I want to cry. This is beyond amazing. You are beyond a musical genius. You are an artist.

[@artgrey3984]

I love this song, even after all this time. Such nostalgia! Good work, Replacer. 10/10

[@berrypunch9739]

Oh my... This is beautiful!

[@DestructoPop]

Ah... I'm in literal tears. I need to hug your OC, stat. And/or you, as I really feel like this came from the heart. AH ALL THESE TEARS.

[@IamCaptainMan]

Replacer, Your music is enchanting and you truly stand out in the brony music community thank you for your amazing service to making this life a musical one.

[@Sylnic]

This song had me on the verge of tears. Thank you for your amazing work, and damn those lyrics are sad. I hope that if this song reflects on your thoughts like most songs do, that you've worked to resolve them. Have an internet hug :) *hug*

[@Zethariel]

Replacer songs will always make me fondly remember my time in Minecraft. So many hours of tedious digging made a breeze by these perfectly paced songs.

[@replacer]

That really means a lot...Thank you for supporting me since day one :)

[@FauxMoose]

This was really beautiful, and very meaningful. More than that, I feel like this could be on the radio, and sound completely natural (aside from, you know, being about MLP). I love your songs. Keep up the good work!

[@johnbobby4778]

After I thought about it I think that your song would defienatly be one of the most sweet and soft spoken original songs from a brony I 've heard thanks

[@OnyxProducts]

I showed my parents your music, and they though you were some ABBA + Beach Boys style singer. I asked them if they knew you, and they were like OH YEAH, listened to his stuff back in the Cold War days studying in Moscow. LOL! xD (they don't know english too well :3)
