Soldiers of the Night - SlyphStorm (ft. 4EverfreeBrony & Midnight Melody)

I just found this song but it hits hard.

[@GoldenArbiter01]

I can't help but reflect on this set of lyrics: "The times we live in now have changed, honor is long gone, and now that Good and evil are shades of grey, a cruel impasse is drawn For all the good we have created, it doesn't make us right But those of us who hide in darkness see a different kind of light" As a soldier, I feel they will hold a special place in my heart for a long time. Modern warfare is no longer about good and evil, it's about making the world a better place in 'our' vision of better. This song has so much place in today's military it isn't even funny. Almost every single one of us is a misfit with a cause. Most of us only want a better tomorrow, and the only way we think of getting to it is through service to a higher calling. This song is amazing. Never stop. I love you (no homo). From Canada.

[@panzerkrieg3509]

War has never been a good vs evil but a cloudy grey. Thats someonethig I've learned while studying military history. No nation has ever had their hands clean, and its best ti forgive crimes of the past cause at the end of it all. Weather good or bad we will all rest side by side in graves.

[@BrokenAdam770]

LYRICS: Cold winter fast approaches as we fearfully wait, the simplest of simple creatures, bound by the laws of fate. And as we shivered in the gutters far away from home, we lost the last vestige of hope freezing and alone. A shadow came to us in our dreams with tales of better times, the royal Princess of the Night forgave us for our crimes. And as the Solar Sister overlooked us, nocturnal we became, we wore a darker armor and we carried a different flame. You now belong to a greater good and you answer to a higher call! You are part of the best and greatest and there is no room for failure! You will leave behind all weakness! You are no longer a mortal! You are now an indestructible Soldier of the Night! As the sunset fades away, the yellow turns to grey, the moonlight shines across the land, a calling we obey. The purest black of shadows rise to fight a greater fight, my brothers and sisters move as one, we Soldiers of the Night. We stand at arms before our liege, each one of us just a pawn and now, we reign supreme throughout the dark until the light of dawn. The memories we have left behind us might cripple lesser men, but those of us brought back from nothing have risen once again. We see it in her moonlit eyes, a fury held at bay, a battle waiting in the ashes to resume another day. And as we disappear into the shadows, we fill their souls with dread, we fight tonight to rule tomorrow and a dark day lies ahead. As the sunset fades away, the yellow turns to grey, the moonlight shines across the land, a calling we obey. The purest black of shadows rise to fight a greater fight, my brothers and sisters move as one, we Soldiers of the Night. The times we live in now have changed, honor is long gone and now that good and evil are shades of grey, a cruel impasse is drawn. For all the good we have created, it doesn't make us right, but those of us who hide in darkness see a different kind of light. As the sunset fades away, the yellow turns to grey, the moonlight shines across the land, a calling we obey. The purest black of shadows rise to fight a greater fight, my brothers and sisters move as one, we Soldiers of the Night.

Oh my god... you listened... you actually listened... and it tears Raise the Sun to pieces and burns the remains. Sheer. Amazing. Awesomeness. This is now going to be my opening song on all my radio shows. O_O I cannot contain the awesomeness.

I find myself revisiting this at the end of the New Lunar Republic v. Solar Empire battle on Derpibooru. This song always held a place in my heart being a Luna fan and much like the final chorus, so to did the forum wars play out. A triumphant call to arms among the Republic that fades away into a melancholic victory as we work together towards peace on the board again.

[@Newage416]

There needs to be an animation of the Soldiers marching onto the battlefield in the middle of a solar eclipse and on the other side of the field, the Armies of the Sun await to do battle. 4:50-4:58 should be a scene where the Unicorns on both side are summoning spells, weakening both. As the battle rages, the scene will expand to see Celestia and Luna playing a game of chess in the castle and end with the sound of a chess piece, particularly a king, falling, issuing checkmate

[@UmkiTheYeenDog]

You are a genius.

-Solar Empire -Lunar Republic CIVIL WAR: Equestria

[@TheRestrictedgamer]

This might just be the best song I've heard come out of the fandom, which place it above most other songs I've heard, even by contracted and popular artists. It might just be my military background that gives me a bias for this kind of thing, but the lyrics spoke to me like no other lyrics have before. That, and the grim, determined, and steady melody fit with the words and the message perfectly. I simply cannot give this enough praise. Well done, good sir. Well done.

[@AnriHarper]

Oh my god, i just noticed something. This was uploaded THE DAY AFTER THE SUMMER SUN CELEBRATION! So it truly is war.

[@NishiYuuma]

When I listen to that song, in my mind I see Lunar Soldiers marching, like on a parade, and then when the guitar solo comes in, I see them fighting against the Solar Army. Then, when the Bass comes in, I see the battlefield after the battle. I the chorus after that, Lunar Army marching again, but not as many as before, only those who survived. They march with the NLR flag. And then, when the song is coming to an end, they are looking up at the moon.

All of the memories have flooded back to me and that lead me here: to my favorite song by my favorite artist. Slyph, I really hope things are going well for you. You really deserve it. To all who might see this, I know “the times we live in now have changed” and that the fandom has shrunk but to those who are out there or are returning as I have, I salute you. Up with the NLR! All hail Luna! And remember, you’re not the only one still standing sentry at your post.

if Lunar Republic send 1 nuke, Solar Empire will easily shot it down like fly. then launch 10 nuke with more advance missile and program. death and massacre, thats how strong Solar Empire is, they have all the weaponary, wanna mess with em?

[@FritzyBeat]

ALRIGHT! Awesome to see this finally out for the world to see! =D And as I said before.... ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE~

[@HarveyJay-qw2gk]

this always reminds me of all the special forces men my son and i have known. Delta Force you have the thanks of at least one old man.

[@Amanoob105]

Love the bit at about 4:08, especially the last two lines with the music that happens with and then just after it. "For all the good we have created, it doesn't make us right But those of us who hide in darkness see a different kind of light".

[@Reallifedovakiin]

My favorite song you guys have ever done.

[@CarbonMaestroCarbonMaestro]

Pretty good, though I feel like the overall mix is a bit too "wet" for the melodic instrumental parts. Nonetheless, keep it up!

[@SlyphStorm]

Pretty good from both Carbon and Basch? SUCCESS! Yeah I'm still working on mixing, getting progressively less suck every day though

[@asdf30111]

SlyphStorm That no way to think. No your getting progressively more EPIC every day.

[@tandoru1392]

SlyphStorm Sethisto said it was awesome and it didn't even have Trixie in it. It sounds great!

[@AnriHarper]

Michael Ewell Seth said it's awesome without Trixie? Damn.

[@RandomFaux]

wait what does too wet mean?

[@Klaus_Klavier]

With the original brony musicians most if not all but done creating pony music...rises you slyph...a musical genius defiantly worthy of being up there in the brony hall of fame next to Glaze, H8_seed, and tombstone! Keep up your awesome music!!!!!

Hello from 2022

[@crowmoon9556]

Lets look at the facts. What service is Celestia actually performing? Mother Moon watches over the dreamers, she comforts those in their nightmares. She provides a service. Celestia the tyrant sits atop her throne and lords over everyone, claiming to be an all powerful alicorn when she does nothing a simple noble bureaucrat could not do. Twilight handles all of Equestria's problems. Dramatic representation: C: "Twilight, my evil cousin has escaped banishment and is about to lay waste to Equestria. Get your friends and get out there." T: "Can't you help just this once, you've known her since you were foals." C: "I can't. Spa day at 12, then I have to listen to people tell me how cool I am. Its fine just make her your friend or something." Scene.

[@darkmaster6817]

Still here. Still love.

[@syrslava705]

Was it ever performed live with supposed power? It must have been.

[@kaseywoods6587]

this song rivals Lullaby for a Princess in terms of power. however, that song hits in the feels and makes us cry, while this song instills us with power and bravery. VIVA LA PRINCESA DE LA LUNA!

[@Malhaloc]

Dude, I forgot about this song! It so good!

[@SunIsLost]

Yep. It's GREAT

[@bashinginminds1126]

I ran across this song just a few months ago, and since then it's become one of my all-time favorites in the fandom. I don't care as much for the speech near the beginning, but the rich instrumental, subtle vocals, and powerful sound, plus the iconic military motifs, combined with the grim-determined voices and stirring vocals, makes this one of the most unique - and moving - pieces I've ever heard. I'm damn amazed, and I hope the three artists responsible continue working together.

[@demontechman]

Well great job Slyph. Absolutely loved this song, but then again I am apart of the NLR so this was a dream come true to hear.

[@azusarin1927]

it's amazing how well this all came together ^_^ i'm very happy with how everything turned out, great job Slyph and 4Everfree!

[@SlyphStorm]

^ You bass champion you ^

[@azusarin1927]

***** bahaha aww thanks XD

[@KhyannArts]

Hail the New Lunar Republic! Luna's shining moon may guide our steps and the stars watch our way to the glory

[@вгостяхуТёмногоЯзычника]

[ On the road going a military convoy composed of tanks, M4A1 Sherman, on their towers was painted blue stars and inscriptions : "We will help the Republic!""Victory will be ours!". And there was a lot of trucks in which there were soldiers armed with M16 rifle.]

[@RedDragonLRD]

The lyricism in this song is just incredible. Oh, and everything else, of course :)

[@jakeflaherty4687]

Lol, agreed.

[@booplesnoopes6861]

I love everyone's voices when they sing. It's so soothing and heart-melting. ♥

[@MathewSwift]

Forest Rain will lead Celestia's Solar Alliance to "Raise the Sun" in Equestria. SlyphStorm will lead the "Soldiers of the Night" for the New Lunar Republic! Glaze will activate the "Rainbow Factory" and annihilate his enemies. The Living Tombstone will cause the end of the war by "September!" Mic the Microphone has "Been Dreamin'" about this clash for millennia!

[@westaussiebrumby5425]

The national anthem for the two kingdoms.

[@rhazien2502]

nice

[@MR_SHARP_POINT]

A song that inspired most of my writing 4 years ago I miss this fandom

[@timberulfur]

2022 still love this song

[@kaciekk]

I love the marching snare!

[@Layneracer]

Utterly stunning! The mix of the to vocals make a perfect match that I can liston to over and over again!

[@JakBed96]

See? I always forget to check up on at least one artist. And damned if this isn't his best song yet. Props, Slyph. Props to you any everyone involved. God, I can't get over how awesome this song is.

[@Iuvfortnite]

Slyphstorm please come back

[@Sarged3]

That bass solo. I fell in love with this song as soon as the first lyrics started, but that bass solo made it my favourite song ever!!!!!!!

[@azusarin1927]

awhh thanks! that made my day ^_^

[@NsaneWhisper]

You... I like you. ~stamps forehead with the approval stamp~

[@Sarged3]

Midnight Melody No problem. :) I love music and so when I say a song has become my favourite, it means that I found it spectacular and a very amazing masterpiece.

[@Sarged3]

♪Caustic Lullaby♪ Yay!!!! ~is stamped~

[@azusarin1927]

Sarged3 heh when Mr. Slyph first sent me the demo of this song asking if i wanted to do a solo for it i knew it was gonna be somethin special, i was pretty inspired ^_^ i had my bass track and solo recorded and sent back to him like 3 hours after he first linked me the demo hehe

[@rohitjohn6180]

Today is the first time i hear this song. A breathtaking song. Can someone give me some background. What is this image, what is NLR and how is this related to horses?

[@thisweirdbrony6419]

It is a spinoff of Forest Rain's "Raise The Sun". Luna controls the moon, and her sister, Celestia, controls the sun. Forest Rain's variant is symbolized around Celestia, and this video is centered around Luna. There's also the image of a legion of horses in night-inspired armor. (Night, moon, and alike are representations of Luna in MLP: Friendship is Magic.)

[@TheDivineRhythm]

This song is still amazing, one of my absolute favorites from the fandom, and honestly as a whole.

[@GLC-93]

Absolutely love this song. May the fandom never die!

[@dragonridertechnologies]

Sooo, it's been a while. I think you've made it fairly clear that you don't want to go back to music, but I just want to take a moment and appreciate this one (aside from the REALLY clever lyrics, which are frankly epic, the composition and singing is awesome). Even with MLP's season ending, and with the loss of a lot of our composers (R.I.P. CarbonMaestro, Evening Star, SFS, BlackGryph0n, and so many others), there's still really a lot of awesome unexplored stories and themes there that deserve songs or fan stories. I'm of the opinion that even for those artists who've went on to other musical subjects, we've really lost a lot of the inspiration that made their songs so great. I hope that one day you return, and can keep your style, even if you do choose a different theme.

[@gambler1ish]

I think to this day this is still one of my most favorite songs!

[@вгостяхуТёмногоЯзычника]

[ Runs up to you man dressed in a gray uniform, he is holding a MP-40] Soldier: Hey! Billeting!

[@F4productions4072]

I never knew this was about MLP when I saw this

[@willyg4958]

By far, my favorite song of all time. PRAISE THE MOON!

[@theonelunarknight5457]

Ya know it's pretty amazing to think that the NLR was just whispers on the wind and whatnot a few years back. I used to think it still was just that, but looking at videos like these I realize now that we have blown up into a full blown faction. From what little I've seen of the Solar Empires numbers, we could declare open war on them with only half our numbers and still come out on top. It brings a tear to my eye. For the NLR! Long live Luna!

[@lokked12able]

2022 this song will never die!!!!

[@SterlingFusion]

I wish Slyph was still with this fandom... Oh well :(

[@SlyphStorm]

sorry mate! sometimes life just gets in the way...

[@SterlingFusion]

SlyphStormARCHIVE No hard feelings man. I'm not letting my channel just be pony music, it's going to be a mix. I don't understand why you just didn't ignore to people pressuring you. Sorry for ranting a little. Stay awesome /)

[@resvheirichv8326]

You will always be remembered for all the amazing songs u created, but its still sad not to see u again :(

[@imdirtydaniel1516]

+SlyphStormARCHIVE are you still making KZbin, later?

[@SterlingFusion]

resv heirichV At least he didn't go like Starlight music did... He made a fool out of himself, and his channel is trash now.

[@LtViper]

I'm not a mlp fan but when it comes to music, this i like

[@ShinKyuubi]

Same here, I know a good tune when I hear it..and there is a surprising amount of it in the MLP fan community. For how kiddy and girly the show is the fan music is pretty epic.

[@Oetii]

same

[@CuteAnimeGirl]

my MLP music playlist is almost as long as my normal music playlist. There's a lot to choose from that's good. Also I download bi-monthly MLP music torrents, and apparently there's a total of 500 GB of pony music that has been found and catalogued.

[@shadowspector3611]

This song has finally broke through 1,000,000 views. It's deserved it for a long time.

[@mkssa94]

I heard to it 5 years ago. And now i'm here again. Good song!
