Okay. The world presents some problems and we don't know what to do!
You've come to find your feelings aren't exactly what you knew.

Fact is that if you could fix the failings of the current paradigm,
we would have a hero who's both been elusive and on time.
Just one time.
And then,
We would all contrive new conflicts!

But I would not let that mar my opinion of the
Stipulations placed before you to get all the things you really need.
Mr. Big may make things hard but you have got to plant your seeds.
Go to war.
Fight more.
Your dreams thrive by competition.
You'll find no one famous ever got there just by flinching at their foes
Cling against the torment, claw with all your might at what you know.
Don't let go!
Just grow!
Don't wait or play to indecision!
Chin up! Don't bet on sinking ships because you've got to be more grand!
You've got to think ahead and carry out the things you've planned!

Don't quit on hopes or dreams when you have simply got to -
Chin up! Don't bet on sinking ships because they'll only drag you down!
You've got to keep on sailing even when you want to frown!
The world will keep on turning without matter where you land.
You might as well be running when your feet should hit the sand

You've got the means to live and it needs merely to be found.

[@LightoftheParanoid]

Going through a depressive episode and ended up coming back to this. This fandom made so many good things.

[@Mediamarked]

Hope you are doing well.

[@libertyprime7911]

Hey, don't bet on sinking ships. Nostalgia is fine. Moods come and go.

[@Topoftheworld121]

Literally me right now. MLP saved my life a decade ago. Songs like this help me through the rough now

[@anowlwithinternetaccess6879]

I'm almost 20, but I always think of this song cover. I miss the days I would listen to MLP songs after school.

[@tapioca7262]

Same, I used to watch this show when I was 12, now I'm gonna be 23 this year.

[@homelessalcoholic2716]

I turned 21 back in May, I often feel the same nostalgia of sitting on the bus or the back of my mom's car listening to the classics after school

@Beau Marcus That seems rather spammy.

[@Bronyboiiiii]

@Beau Marcus Teach me how I've ruined some careers.

[@doranrahne9143]

This song has such a realistic and positive message to keep going regardless of obstacles. Dreams are worth following because they give hope and direction in life. This little song has changed this brony's life by giving me focus.

[@Lover_of_ebrietas]

Is it really that deep

[@iandelcid7254]

Im in a carrier thats way more expensive than what i can aford, and i just can keep going

Years pass like days eventually. Live your life they way is best for you.

[@irrelevantperson785]

So inspirational. And not so horribly blind to the fact that life is not easy, as a lot of optimistic and inspirational songs tend to feel.

[@piatpotatopeon8305]

Man, I had forgotten how powerful of an uplift this song is. Still brings the good feels.

It’s 2021 and this song still hits home for me. We must act for our chips are in danger of turning to trash!

All of my yes.

[@halfastudio]

This community makes me proud.

[@JimFaindel]

So many years later, this one song still brings me so much joy. Chin up!

[@varen5111]

Haven't heard this song for years. Recently had a rough bump on the road, and for some reason this song popped into my head. Made me feel a bit better.

[@liberty1212]

Same here. Havent listened to this since my mlp phase but randomly stumbled on it on a nostalgia trip and it was actually just what I needed to hear after a bad experience at university. Perfect lyrics

[@MDashie]

Listening at 2021 :D

[@hanniaedithmartinezadame794]

Nice

[@IrritableGiraffe]

Totally going to cover this asap.

friggin fantastic!

[@ImmortalMartyr]

I still listen to this song when I'm having a hard time. It really helps me keep my chin up no matter how deep a hole I may be in.

[@Quonzer]

If you presented this song to someone who had no idea it was from an MLP parody, would they even be able to tell? Makes me wonder...

[@NeonX89]

Only one way to find out. Play it but don't show'em the screen.

[@ijones36]

Nope, unless they were familiar with FIMfam/slyphstorm and recognized the voice

[@christophersmith993]

+Altrunchen I did to a friend. He said it was a cool song. He was surprised it was a MLP song but said it was a good song regardless.

[@theknell4418]

my friend hates bronies and I let him listen to a glaze song and he loved it so maybe

[@Alpha121198]

+IdiotOnTheInternet I'm guessing you dislike the overzealous part of the fandom?

[@conficker130]

I joined the fandom too late... now everyone is dead...

[@RenegadeRabbit91]

Con Ficker FimFlamPhilodophy, Black Gryph0n, ACRacebest, DWK, Timbstone is still around, even if he's not been doing anything pony. Toaster has been seen, even if he's been inactive. Cider Party is pouring new electronic music out every week. Check out the Deviantart comic: Adapting to the Night. It's still in progress. EQD is always highlighting hot new content. Take heart, the fandom isn't dead just yet.

Hey, don't put your chips on sinking ships.

[@tenebrisdumplin4583]

Slyph has an amazing voice. Perfect for a musical artist.

[@aisuach]

I'm coming back to this,And I realized what made me like Pony songs, THEY ARE FUCKING AMAZING.

[@ijones36]

If only the show itself was any good :\

[@ijones36]

I should kill myself for having an opinion that you happen to disagree with?

[@RaptorRex20]

No idea what got said here before. But I would like to say the show is fine, the Fandom is what gives it life though with the Art, Music, and other pieces of content they make.

[@americanman5270]

A year later and the community has changed alot. From the little bit of searching i did there isn't many artists like all the old good ones making pony music anymore.

[@THEEND4444]

I stopped being a Brony years ago but I still come back for this song.

[@FritzyBeat]

Beat me to the punch on this one SlyphStorm XD Still, its awesome to finally see a cover of this amazing song by FimFlam, you did an awesome job on it! =D

[@FritzyBeat]

I plan to eventually =D Its a really fun song with a surprisingly large amount of meaning to the lyrics :) Hopefully I'll be able to do it soon. But until then, we still have SlyphStorm's amazing version to listen to =D

[@SlyphStorm]

You should totally give it a go, it's a fun song!

[@FritzyBeat]

SlyphStorm Welp, told you I'd finish it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqiTan-om5l4h8U And it only took me a year and a half XD *shot*

[@TheMaskedFrenchMan]

Even after all these years, I still love this song. I am glad to have re-discover it. Once again thank you for this song, It means a lot. This song really helps me during dark times

[@mysterymarezz]

I knew it was only a matter of time before someone covered this. I wasn't expecting it to be quite so awesome.

[@NateTheNarrator]

I'm so glad that this cover was made! I remember hearing the origional and thinking that it was amazing, and now that this is out I have another great song to add to my playlist.
