The Gypsy Bard (Philsterman01 Ska Version)

1080p Recommended for better audio quality
Now this is stereo so those with earphones, you may want to use both (unless you want to hear the different parts XD;;
So finally while managing my normal recording I got this in, added a extra verse as well...Also would like to point how much I love the art X3
Hope it's alright!
Lyrics:
When you're rife with devastation
There's a simple explanation:
You're a toymaker's creation
Trapped inside a crystal ball
And whichever way he tilts it
Know that we must be resilient
We won't let them break our spirits
As we sing this silly song
When we were colts and fillies, a galloping blaze overtook our city
They shipped us off to the orphanage. Said, "ditch those roots if you wanna fit in"
So we dug one thousand holes and cut a rug with orphan foals
Now memories are blurred, and their faces are obscured, but we still, know the words to this song
When you've bungled all your bangles
And your loved ones have been mangled
Listen to the jingle jangle
Of my gypsy tambourine
'Cause these chords are hypnotizing
And the whole world's harmonizing
So please children stop your crying
And just sing along with me
When your bad luck seems to follow
And it feels too tough to swallow
Just remember it's our life here
Deep inside this crystal ball
While each tilt we may not favor
There's a few that we can savor
So come on let's keep our chin up
As we sing this silly song!
Yea it's hard but its part of living
It could be worse so accept it easy
So I just say take it all in stride
And be proud you have the strength to get by-- so
As I dig my thousandth hole,
Let's cut a rug with all the foals
'Cause a new day dawns and it's time to move on
Just remember the words to this song
When you're down on all your luck
(No sweat, we can make it through I bet)
And feel you just can get unstuck
(So just let the big toymaker work the plan's not over yet)
Listen to me run amok
With my gypsy melody
'Cause these chords are hypnotizing
And the whole world's harmonizing
So please children stop your crying
And just sing along with me

the mining operation in search of 2012 gems has certainly found a shiny one

[@recallback-art]

After listening to your songs for a good hour I realised something..... You are abolutely fucking perfect dude. I love your voice and the covers you do!

[@littleyellowdeer]

I didn’t expect new verses damn this just became a favorite. Now that I’m on testosterone I’ll be practicing singing THIS version!

[@fandom_jumper]

[@littleyellowdeer]

[@WaveTheEmeraldDragon]

"No sweat, we can make it through I bet So just let the big toymaker work the plan's not over yet" ^ This ^ just made my day

[@faulty83logic]

Love the positive spin with the new lyrics. Well done sir

[@philsterman10]

My video says the instrumental isn't mine....but since it's longer than the normal I had to double the instrumental fluidly to still sound like one song, which is why I gave an instrumental mp3, so people who want to sing it too don't have to try extending the instrumental themselves...I would never take credit for something I didn't nor couldn't do. Thank you for your concern.

[@thesolidsnaking]

YES FINALLY A SKA PONY SONG THANK YOU, MAN THANK YOU

[@SoraLover1994]

... 0_0 Oh gosh. My boyfriend already plays this song... DAILY... XD And then seeing this, I have to admit, I'm a bit thrilled.

[@TradbaitRooster]

You have no idea how happy this song makes me, I could never find a good ska cover of anything thank you.

[@armegeddis]

I love the added lyrics, it's that added touch that makes it better than any other version.

[@philsterman10]

You're incredibly kind ^^ thank you for your support ^^ I'll keep doing my best!

[@Pastelprincessparfait]

Listened to this every day for the past three weeks.

[@ponyanitmations2549]

This........is.........amazing.

[@Silbern411]

Keep the good shit up! loving this stuff!

[@Ardhamon5000]

Sad lyrics with upbeat Ska tone? Gives me such a strong Streetlight Manifesto feeling. That is good for me as an huge fan of that band and the old Catch 22.

[@zalleus3489]

The part with the second over-voice (Don't stop, we can make it through I bet...) is the best part of the song. That's what I call a hypnotizing chord. LOLOLOLOLOLLOL

[@Slashthekitsune]

This is... really awesome. :D

[@philsterman10]

I voice all 6 Stallions of Harmony, you honestly expect to choose a race when I'm part of them all? That's my logic and story and I'm sticking to it! Simple as that >.

[@colisanpixel]

Came back for some nostalgia. Wasn't dissappinted :P

[@1998mrsonic]

This brings back memories when I first checked out this channel. It's been SO long. Almost 9 years to be exact. ^^

[@thewatcher509]

Now this... THIS is an upbeat-slash-sad song.

[@frogmyre485]

Ah, the Gypsy Bard. A perfect way to ring in the New Year, no?

[@littlepip2660]

Best video music i ever seen :3 .

[@LunaMoonlight100]

DUDE MARRY ME!

[@megamushroom]

Best cover of this song in my opinion

[@ponyplortaandmeeppanda632]

THIS IS AWESOME!

[@alannawalburn1996]

Yes this song is hypnotizing. So hypnotizing.

[@MrMonochromatic]

So I've come back to it and I've got to add I really favor the extra lyrics you've written in. They fit so perfectly.

[@MrMonochromatic]

Wow! This song is totally rad. I absolutely love this rendition of the song. Incredibly well done. Thanks for creating it, sir.

[@midnightspparkle8187]

I like this song so much that I put it on EVERY day!

[@mlp_firewind8129]

[@vaelararagi496]

Dude, amazing! *le applaud*

[@RosedCat]

Yeah! You shouldn't listen to what anyone says about you or your singing. You have great talent and your fans are always happy and honored to hear you sing or whatever you do! Don't let them get you down! Just remember all the fans you have! :P

[@philsterman10]

it's my OC ^^ I've used him in other covers as well.

[@MetaNauts]

Pretty sure I heard Pinkies Brew in the "No sweat" part. Still incredibly uplifting. Good job.

[@dandyzinc]

Absolutely AWESOME!

[@obelleblue]

This is awesome!

[@jdaniellejohnston112]

Phil: *trapped bubble berry in a crystal ball* now I'm the gypsy pony now, berry Berry: Phil, get me out, you can't sing this song, only I can Phil: now anymore Berry: *mane deflates and cries* somepony help me

[@avalister41]

I got this stuck in my head

[@greennova8696]

This is super cool! Great job mate

[@TheTimeice]

LOVE IT! It's so dang upbeat.

[@crispymarshmallow9959]

What i gotta ask is, are you alive?

[@grawphiggins]

Holy Celestia, I was unaware that a being could be as amazing as this.

[@LeahBoBia]

Your voice. It makes me smile :)

[@AnxAsianxArmy]

Yet you're obviously one of the best singers of the community, perhaps even the greatest out them all, and I find it noble how you continue to produce high quality videos such as this even though your amount of praise is lack luster compared to the amount of effort and time you put into your videos. I hope this means something to you coming from a random. :3

[@ossy102]

I like how this remix has an actual second verse instead of repeating the first one.

[@chrisjohnson2649]

this is just funny and strange at the same time so to put in a sane way it is perfect

[@CzechoslovakianSardine]

of all your covers, this is to me the best, the music, the voice, the special intonation... just perfect, great job boy :D

[@dandylion6169]

I love this.

[@urlokiifiire9984]

This.. Is beautiful.~

[@UltimateAnimeGamer]

I love how you incorporated abit of the Pinkie's Brew melody near the end. The melodies really go well together.

[@annabrashear1249]

This is my happy song...when I am sad...this makes me happy...and that is all I gotta say! Good job!

[@xavierthe9]

Oh thank goodness your channel is back

[@philsterman10]

It was a fight but im back!

[@everythingz888]

I love the added lyrics! Great job!

[@LieutenantKawzay]

Vriska. Also absolutely adore this song! The fast pace was fantastic too.

[@huorcarnesir7478]

And I bet that people would make that radio station their number one favorite station.

[@JASONLIVES989]

This remix is REALLY creative, I love it!

[@JHaru777]

Whenever I hear this, I just wanna jump and bounce around all fast and crazy! It's awesome! XD *jumpy, jumpy, jumpy*!

[@tsundereberry]

I don’t care how dark the lyrics are Bubble Berry will forever be best boi

[@leprechaun1492]

I LOVE YOUR VERSION OF THIS SONG! IT IS AMAZING!

[@ceejeicortes1108]

[@Yukkix18]

*Applause* amazing , i really love your voice and you are creative with the lyrics!~

[@NyteMyre]

I had this track burned on a CD for a vacation roadtrip with some friends. Was fun to sing along :D

[@diejones8008]

extended lyrics are wonderful！

[@huorcarnesir7478]

This is a very cool and epic song! This is your best work in my book.

[@PercipientFish]

That was a lot better than I was expecting. Loved the trumpet bits.

[@cactusface506]

I miss the 2k12 fandom

[@edgelorde9074]

I'm not a part of brony community but I like your music guys :)

[@VexVixpire]

This song... So awesome, even inspired me to make a song set to this Gypsy Bard beat.

[@Whyit27]

Simply amazing! Keep up the great work!

[@duanerose6823]

awesome :o

[@LinkXToboeXAmaterasu]

Please please please make a longer version! Especially the bit from 1.31 to 1.36, that and the trumpet solo are just the most wonderful thing I've ever heard!

[@philsterman10]

Seeing that so many people haven't noticed, I'm sorry that this was a song killer for you. But also since no one else has made something of this nature, I'm sorry but it's been out for almost 4 months and too late to change. I'm sorry...

[@rachelwalker3]

Love this song

[@levyinverse2479]

I honestly like the original more, but I cant help but adore this! I am listening to this on bloody repeat~!

[@XellosInverse]

I love this song!! Amazing and best cover ever!!
