I saw this IndieGoGo campaign go up, so I checked it out and proceeded to LOSE MY SHIT. ALL OF IT. LOST AND FOUND, FILE A MISSING PERSONS REPORT, AMBER ALERT, GONE RIP
I ended up falling in love with RC88's work, particularly the main theme, so I wrote a song the first day and sat on it for a week. And now here it is!
My EP will be coming soon, so keep an eye out for that too. Or an ear I guess?
Oh jesus I almost forgot the lyrics!
===== Lyrics:
[Verse 1:] Everyone gather round and listen to me You see Foenum is doomed if we don't get the key and it might seem crazy, yo conflict's out of season but i think the looming terror there's a good enough reason only one can battle with that predator of gloom so if the seat is taken gonna have to make some room no, it's not selfish, it's that patriotic pride reppin' where you came from and the planet's on the line
so make your choices, pick your finest attack-a find your hooven champion, and get ya all paca'd got a long road to trot in front of you come snow or rein it's the same, each one of you are making it your mission to enact this inquisition and that life of peaceful livin' shears with every second given so quit your balking, get yourself walking stop when you're on the top. no more talking.
[Chorus:] Like a lightnin' surge An enlightening blur The right light ensures You take the night it's yours Past time for words Unleash a mighty burst And though it might get worse, Them's fightin' herds
[Verse 2:] Yeah, nation to nation, unto this day from the start of creation "fighting leads to failure"? hasn't happened yet. why should we unite just to spite a common threat? We may be herbivores but we're not weak so toss out that meekness with the chaff and the wheat Become what you're destined to be Is it your fate to lead? Prevail and we'll see... Ahhh STAMPEDE!
[[BLAZING SOLO]]
On the Tundra things are feeling cold One dear ol' deer is a diamond in the gold The prairie life's under malefic attack But one calf will step up to act and that's that. Burning passion for the one she's thinking of because There's nothing stronger than alpacas in love. This blackened unicorn'll do what needs done Dark or light, wrong or right, gonna save everyone. The bravest lamb's gonna overcome her fear And that strength inside of the mind will persevere So disciplined is the finest flying captain, She'll take you down 'fore you know what even happened.
[Chorus:] Like a lightnin' surge An enlightening blur The right light ensures You take the night it's yours Past time for words Unleash a mighty burst And though it might get worse, Them's fightin' herds

I've loved this song for a long time, so I wanted to do a fun little cover of it while I'm working on (and trying to finish) original tracks. Sorry this isn't some Original Content for y'all but hopefully you like it!
Lyrics: I'm right here And I heard everything you said Those things To try to get inside my head Is full now, there's no room in here For you.
You can't teach me the lesson Now I know I don't need you to tell me How it's done Cause I know how it's done
See all the accolades Sitting up on my shelf? I'm the man now, And I'm sticking it to myself Sticking it to myself Sticking it to my-
Self-control. That's not the only thing I Lack a plan. Just my own gun against my back Down now and let this hostage
Go away. I'm trying to figure something Makes me feel Like I'd do anything It takes to be a fucking winner now.
See all the accolades Sitting up on my shelf? I'm the man now, And I'm sticking it to myself Sticking it to myself Sticking it to myself.
You don't look interested in what I just said. If you're not listening then don't nod your head.
I thought so. That's what I thought, well...
Some day soon, This job is gonna kill me Dead inside. Unless I kill it first instead And when they come for me I'm gone.
There's just my accolades Sitting up on my shelf. I'm the man now, and I'm sticking it to myself Sticking it to myself Sticking it to myself.

=============================================
hidden funny message ha ha made you read it
but seriously, this is probably the last song i'm releasing under this name. i actually came out as non-binary a couple years back and stopped going by steven entirely, but if i'm gonna change my music name i want the first song (or songs!) i put out under the new name to reflect that!Steven, A.D. - LeavingLSST2022-10-12 | DOWNLOAD: lsstmusic.bandcamp.com/track/leaving
Hey everyone! I'm making sure to keep up my glacial pace of releasing one song a year, but this time it's something special! Leaving was one of my favorite songs I wrote back in ye olde days, but I was always dissatisfied with the mixing... and the mastering... and my singing... and like... most of the song. I always felt like it deserved better. So I re-did it! And I'm super proud of how it turned out!!
Lyrics: [Verse 1] Say you spent your days far away from things you love Eyes are looking glazed, it's an endless cycle of "You're not good enough, you were never on the level Misshapen to the core, far too jagged of a bevel."
An atmosphere of hapless fear, This atlas sphere that traps you here- They don't hear that constant jeer when they tell you to persevere.
"It gets better," they all say, "So, hunker down keep your chin up, hey? Bow your head, and learn to pray-" And they shake their heads when you walk away.
[Chorus] Maybe now you know how to prove it, Don't look back or you'll find you're rooted down To the ground.
It's a fact, anywhere you are For heaven's sake, you're the brightest star around. All around.
[Verse 2] Now you're peering at the ceiling, the ceiling appearing fine Starts with peeling and revealing the reeling you feel inside. You're hearing that old demon and dealing is stealing time, But seeing as you're healing the feeling is realized that
You were never alone in your loneliness. Can't atone, and your tone is a ghost of its Past glory but the story isn't over. Think again in the morning when you're sober.
A depressing scene, and they're questioning. But your pressing need, it's a jest, perceived. Be the best you be, and you best believe, In this lesson, see: it's never just a dream.
[Chorus] Maybe now you know how to prove it, Don't look back or you'll find you're rooted down To the ground.
It's a fact, anywhere you are For heaven's sake, you're the brightest star around. All around.
So today is the day you're leaving; Chase the rain, all the pain will even out... Somehow.
It's a fact, anywhere you are For heaven's sake, you're the brightest star around. All around.
[Outro] Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Don't give it up, no not one bit. You're much more, and that's just it. Hum a tune, help your mind forget, 'Cause music heals like a tourniquet.
Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Got so much in your life to prove, People there don't believe in you. Know we all feel the same way too. Wish we could leave, but we just make do.
Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Don't give it up, no not one bit. You're much more, and that's just it. Hum a tune, help your mind forget, 'Cause music heals like a tourniquet.
Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Got so much in your life to prove, People there don't believe in you. Know we all feel the same way too. Wish we could leave, but we just make do.Steven, A.D. - Your CarLSST2021-11-24 | FREE DOWNLOAD: lsstmusic.bandcamp.com/track/your-car
what if extended warranty robot was not real, but was real and could think, but was actually not but maybe could be?
that is the bold idea this song explores
LYRICS: We hereby regret to inform you That your car does not exist. This call originally placed, extended warranty based, But I don't see it on my list. Oh, I don't suppose I could Tempt you into purchasing one anyway?
We hereby regret to inform you That your address doesn't exist. Your home in Kuala Lumpur- A place I've been before- Let me see if there's something I've missed. While you're on the line, can I Interest you in signing up for platinum rewards?
We hereby regret to inform you, That you do not exist. Whether a figment of mine Or something less defined, I've got concerns that I've come adrift. If you're hearing this, could you Go ahead and sign up for that warranty?
I hereby regret to inform you That I do not exist.
is the "no one reads the description" joke played out at this point? in any case, it doesn't apply to you, you brave explorer, plumbing the depths of youtube, clicking things and remembering how to read. i applaud you, o intrepid traveler, may your finger stay true and your eyes stay healthy, that you may continue to gaze wistfully and wonder what might have been, had you not had to read this terrible, terrible soliloquy i just wrote in 2 minutes
(also i'm still working on my new EP, i'm sorry i don't work quickly, or really at all)

Written lyrics, for your convenience: [Verse 1] I was so convinced of my well-being I done missed the trees But I was never good at dealing with uncertainty Take those doubts, push them down Be a strong, strong man How I'm feeling this evening I don't understand
Take this pinch of salt Feel free to misconstrue But I never wrote this story where I fell for you I was fine, doing great living on my own Now I'm stuck right here waiting By my telephone
'Cause you
[Chorus] Told me that you love me late last night I won't waste a single moment asking why I can't control, can't control where my heart is leading I'm paralyzed by paranoia And I've never felt so alone in all my life
[SYNTH SOLO]
[Verse 2] I could never stop this feeling even if I wanted to And for all of my defenses Ya already made it through I don't deserve I haven't earned the right to fall in love But my telephone is ringing I'm gonna pick it up
[Chorus] Told me that you love me late last night I won't waste a single moment asking why I can't control, can't control where my heart is leading I'm paralyzed by paranoia And I've never felt so alone in all my life
Traveler, are you lost? This is uncharted territory, all the way at the bottom of the description, where very few have dared to tread. Only the truly bold set foot here.
I'm working on a proper EP right now, and this song was meant to be on it, but as I fleshed out the EP's theme this song wound up no longer being a good fit. So I figured I'd give it the proper treatment and get it on out there oh yeah.
I have no idea when the EP will be done but hopefully this will tide y'all over until then yeah? ahahaSteven, A.D. - Go AwayLSST2019-12-03 | Download: lsstmusic.bandcamp.com/track/go-away
Lyrics:
It's always been a lot to think about what else I could do. Gnawing on my mind: could I have done something to save you? I know it's not my fault. I know I should move on and pull through, But what went through your mind deciding that motel was a tomb?
The hole you left is still right here, and I'll never fill it in. It's been a fucking shitty year, and I wish that it would end. I've come so far and learned so much, and I know you're proud of me. I hope you're happy where you are--no, you don't feel a thing.
The choices that you made leading to setting yourself free- The impact that you left, choosing to stay... Or go away.
=====
This song is about my mom (yes, again). I wrote and recorded this song about two years ago, and I'd kept putting off finishing it up. A lot of things have changed in my life. I lost both my grandparents on her side this year. I felt so guilty, but when my grandpa finally passed, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. He was hurting; you could see it in his eyes, in how he walked and spoke. No one should have to bury their child. No one should have to live without their soulmate.
I'm not a religious person, but if there's an afterlife, I hope they're all happy together.
=====
if you've dug this deep you're really in the shit now lol. i'm writing this about 5 years after i released this, and 10 full years after my mom passed. if you've lost someone recently, i have good news. it does get easier, eventually. but not because the feeling goes away. no, you just start to understand it better, accept it better. if you really live your life openly, it's inevitable that someone you love is going to suddenly disappear, at least from your frame of reference. but you have to accept that, you know? people will hurt you, they'll say the wrong thing, or they'll make bad decisions. or they'll being going through something you don't understand. you won't recognize it. and you have to accept that. it has to be okay. because the alternative is locking yourself away, terrified, afraid that you'll open up to the wrong person. or that the person you love will suddenly disappear.
please just know that, despite everything that's happening, politically, socially, economically, if you keep looking, keep pushing, you'll find someone who understands. it's a statistical inevitability, as cold as that sounds, i guess. if you don't give up, you're going to find someone who isn't just being polite when they ask "how are you feeling?"
but i have to stress, if you're reading this, and it's cutting you a little too deep, please, please, please, consider talking to a professional. most people, who really do love you, they don't know the right way to show it. they don't know the right words. and even some professionals dont know, but like, the odds are so much better than talking to your kinda weird uncle, y'know? he knows a lot about telescopes and shit but he doesn't know how the brain works.
If you do use this instrumental, I just ask that I get credited somewhere for making it! A link back to my channel or this video would be fine!

So it's a Christmas tradition that me and my friends all sit down to watch some movies together. There are some certified classics, but one that always stood out to me is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
No, not the stop-motion TV-movie from 1964, I'm talking about the animated one from 1998. The one where the characters' eyes point different directions half the time. The one where they blew their entire animation budget on getting the rights to "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney, leaving only enough to make one really good run-cycle. The one with John Goodman, Eric Idle, Whoopi Goldberg, Bob Newhart, and Richard god-damn Simmons.
The movie is a complete mess. It is my favorite Christmas movie of all time. I don't know what it is about it, but I find it unironically captivating. I wouldn't want it any other way. So I made this cover. Have a happy holidays, everyone!

Lyrics:
Even though we have many hills and mountains to climb, And there’s no easy road and we haven’t very much time We’ve got to stick together. We can hold on forever! We can make it! We can make it if we try!
Even though the snow will come falling down from the sky, We can overcome any troubles and towers too high. No matter how the winds may blow, And though it may be touch and go… We can make it! We can make it if we try!
There are times when you’re down, and you’ve given up on your dreams. We have to face the storm; things are not as bad as they seem. You got to go to extremes!
Even though it’s dark, blue skies are comin’ your way, And by tomorrow it’ll be a sunnier day. As long you’re by my side, We’ll survive this stormy ride. We can make it! We can make it if we try!
[SYNTH SOLO, IT HAS BEEN SO LONG, HOW I'VE MISSED YOU]
We gotta face the storm, 'cause things are not as bad as they seem. You gotta go to extremes!
Even though it’s dark, blue skies are comin’ your way, And by tomorrow it’ll be a sunnier day. As long as you’re by my side, We’ll survive this stormy ride. We can make it! We can make it if we try! We can make it! We can make it if we try! We can make it! We can!
He's been working night and day trying to solve this case, and he'll be damned if anyone stops him from seeing it through. Also, he's immortal. Also, he's gay.
Is it awkward that I pointed out that he's gay? I don't want to come across as awkward. I wasn't saying that him being gay is bad or anything, I was just... I was just describing his character. Like, I don't wanna make anyone think that I'm some kind of bigot or something. I just... okay, I'm just gonna stop now.
=====
So, I decided that while I'm working on new Electropop style tunes, I should also work on expanding my horizons. The plan right now is to keep songs released as Steven, A.D. focused style-wise, and I'll have the more out-of-character kind of tracks released as length boii. If you read this far into the description, I love you, and also let me know what you think about this.

No Dicks were harmed in the making of this song.Steven, A.D. - Be Happy I Guess [Be Happy EP BONUS]LSST2016-06-06 | Be Happy EP available now! lsstmusic.bandcamp.com/album/be-happy-ep This is the bonus track you get when you buy the whole thing! SIX SONGS FOR THE PRICE OF FIVE WHAT A DEAL.
You might notice that the synth sounds somewhat familiar. It's actually a resampled version of the main synth from Leaving. This song serves as a sort of prequel to that song.
Lyrics: So far off and at these lips: Living's not quite adequate But I guess it doesn't matter if You're twenty something and at your wits' end And lookin' for answers, Would they give a dropout a chance? Or Is that me? With a fake degree Living week to week, Another cash advance? Sure.
That'll breed dead ends and minds- How can I succeed when I run all the time? Folks wisened up let me know how that's just life gonna have to let it go now. "Just smile! Spread your cheeks. You'll feel better In a few weeks... You need a good reason if you're gonna feel stress, So suck it up, ok? And be happy I guess."
Be happy (I guess) You'll be okay if you smile like an idiot Be happy (I guess) I'm hearing your words but I guess I'm not getting it...
Where do I belong, it sure ain't here. I'll go insane if I wait another year But fear perserves and the clearest dearest ears that matter Cut a hole and scatter Held dreams, they don't help me And I don't need anyone else to tell me I don't have the dedication to make it If I got a chance then I gotta take it - Put it simple, and leave here soon Or sing a dumb song to an empty room And who am I, just some stupid guy never meant to fly y'all just assume And you said, "odds aren't prudent", but Praise all goes to the faithful student Fate's singing, let's hope it's on key, I know there's gotta be a better place for me. We'll see.
Be happy (I guess) You're an adult, oh, I thought you would know this Be happy (I guess) Get your head out the clouds, oh my god you are hopeless
Be happy (I guess) Be happy (I guess)
Be happy (I guess) You'll be okay if you smile like an idiot Be happy (I guess) I'm hearing your words, but I guess I'm not, guess I'm not.

Lyrics: I'm on a roll, but now where can we go To get some time just on our own
I love who you are, but we'll never get far If we never get some time alone
I'm not a pest, but I'll never get rest If I let this moment pass here yet.
Lonely at worst, so I make a move first The future's worth a chance I bet.
(I bet. I bet. I bet. I bet.)
So far. So far. So far away. You are. You are. A million miles away. So far away.
The hands on the clock, how I wish they would stop Whenever I see you come near.
I'm frozen in place by such a beautiful face So what is it that I do here?
Forget all my dreams, I don't need anything Just place your hand right next to mine.
You'd laugh at my words, just as soon you'd heard... But still I know, I've got to try.
So far. So far. So far away. You are. You are. A million years away. So far away.Steven, A.D. - What Youre After (feat. Jeff Burgess) [Be Happy EP]LSST2016-06-06 | Find Jeff on Twitter here: twitter.com/fernghouly "Be Happy EP" is now available on Bandcamp! lsstmusic.bandcamp.com/album/be-happy-ep
Lyrics: I'm sure you'll know when you feel it. I'm certain you'll soon see. Two takes, to make sure it's real and You want no part of me.
I know I'll never believe them: No fates can intertwine. There's never been a good reason, To say I feel more than fine.
Why do you do the things you do? You're wasting away your pride, your youth I've seen how it weighs, no, it's no use. No, I know. No, I know- Don't you?
Your lips are sealed up with laughter. Your fists can never convey. No nails will cover this plaster. Your words can never betray.
Don't need to play up your chances; You never took them to start. Contolled in all circumstances, Enclosed: your bulletproof heart.
Why do you do the things you do? You're wasting away your pride, your youth I've seen how it weighs, no, it's no use. No, I know. No, I know- Don't you?
Why do you do the things you do? But still you pretend you've seen the truth. A passion, a flash, and then it's through. No, I know. No, I know- Don't you?
Why do you do the things you do? (I never know, I never know.) Forgetting it all- that same old tune (I never know, I never know.) Playing it off, you always knew (I never know, I never-) I don't know, I don't know. Do you?Steven, A.D. - Love You More [Be Happy EP]LSST2016-06-06 | This is for Mom. Love you more... "Be Happy EP" is now available on Bandcamp. lsstmusic.bandcamp.com/album/be-happy-ep
Lyrics: They always say You don't know what you have till it fades away A cliche turn of phrase. But how you feel Determines what is real And right now all I feel is pain.
"We're here for you And we know what to do and this process Is not a crutch as much as a tool. It'll pass, real soon So take your time, and remember we're all here for you And we know what to do..."
Till the end of time, When I've grown old, and when my life is through, I know I'll still think of you, so.
I know I wasn't always there. Left the bridges in disrepair. Made it look like I didn't care. But your heart shook me to the core. Now it's you that I'm thankful for, And I loved, and I love you more.
Just let it go: There's no use stressing over what you know, You'll never get to change... But how, how can I do it? When every little thing reminds me, And when I sing... No, I can't get away.
I miss you... I miss you...
But does it really matter? Oh, does it really matter? 'Cause now it's just too late. And my head feels empty. And these words feel empty. It's just a song you'll never hear me sing...
Be that as it may, I'll find a way to Make it up to you. Until then? Thank you.
I know I wasn't always there... I know I wasn't always there. Left the bridges in disrepair. Made it look like I didn't care. But your heart shook me to the core. And it's you that I'm thankful for, And I loved, and I love you more. And I loved, and I love you more. And I loved, and I love you more.Steven, A.D. - Strangers [Be Happy EP]LSST2016-06-06 | After god damn FOREVER, it's finally out! My debut "Be Happy EP" is now available on Bandcamp! lsstmusic.bandcamp.com/album/be-happy-ep
Lyrics: Barely spoke: "What a hopeless place to be." All alone everybody, you, and me. Adjust your mind- just as fake. no clarity. You might find it's too late for sincerity.
We're strangers, you and me. How I strain, all the same, You drift so far away from me. We speak so easily in our dreams.
Should I hope that you just need time to fix? If you don't then I know how hard it hits/ In this vein I believe this fantasy: That one day all your pain will be relieved, And you'll come back to me...
We're strangers, you and me. How I strain, all the same, You drift so far away from me. We speak so easily in our dreams.
Why you say all these bitter things, I don't know. How this world's a conspiracy, I don't know. How to deal with family, I don't know. How to heal when you're killing me, I don't know.
Now I know that you don't know, Just how you come across I'll go insane, and who's to blame The mind is all but lost...
Or maybe I could break on through And finally see who's truly you.
I believed but I can't believe no more. So you leave, you leave me on the floor.
We're strangers, you and me. How I strain, all the same, You drift so far away from me. We speak so easily in our dreams. We're strangers, you and me. How I strain, all the same, You drift so far away from me. We speak so easily in our dreams.Steven, A.D. - Everything is Terrible! [Be Happy EP]LSST2016-06-06 | After god damn FOREVER, it's finally out! My debut "Be Happy EP" is now available on Bandcamp! lsstmusic.bandcamp.com/album/be-happy-ep
Lyrics: Fall asleep, fall asleep for the love of god I'm begging you For eight hours... or maybe five or four or two In my head, an orchestra plays its seventh symphony Am I dead, or is hell too good for me?
Day by day, getting swept away, It's a downward spiral into sorrow So if it's quite alright, think I'll skip tonight We can take this up tomorrow
Everything is terrible! And everything's in vain. Empires rise, ineffable Now they’re history all the same Well, I never saw them crumble And I never saw them reign But everything is terrible! It's always been that way.
I bought a sphere and inside of the shell lives a tiny pyramid. It's so wise, and it shared with me a gift: “Ask away, ask away and I'll tell you everything I can. If I don't, you just couldn't understand.”
“Will I be stuck here?” “Outlook is unclear. I don't know- maybe so? Ask me later.” It's a breach of trust that will leave me crushed, So I hope this way I'm safer...
Everything is terrible! And everything's in vain. Kingdoms rise, ineffable Now they’re history all the same Well, I never saw them crumble And I never saw them reign But everything is terrible! And it's always been that way.
It's always been that way, been that way.
If life is just a game, then I don't wanna play. If life is just a game, then I don't wanna play. If life is just a game, then I don't wanna play. If life is just a game, then I don't wanna play.
Everything is terrible! Everything's in vain. Kingdoms rise, ineffable Now they’re history all the same Well, I never saw them crumble And I never saw them reign But everything is terrible! And it'll always be that way!

LYRICS: Bugs ate my car, And I couldn't go far in a buggy car. And now they've jumped the shark In my stolen car and broke my heart.
Do you wanna be a boyfriend or a girlfriend? You can absolutely think about it. You wanna be my boyfriend or my girlfriend? You can spend some time thinkin' 'bout it?
Peace ain't hard to find, I'm on the table and I'm dripping wine. But stakes are hard to grasp, Now I'm on the floor and I need a cast.
Do you wanna be a boyfriend or a girlfriend? You can absolutely think about it. Can I be your boyfriend? No, your girlfriend? No, I need some time to think about it. Do you wanna be a boyfriend or a girlfriend? You can absolutely think about it! Can I be your boyfriend? No, your girlfriend! No, I need some time to think about it...
Summer's coming, I hear you humming my song. The bugs and sharks in my head say I don't belong.
Bugs ate my car: No one goes far in cloudy jar. And now I've jumped the shark In my stolen car and I broke my own heart.
Do you wanna be a boyfriend or a girlfriend? You can absolutely think about it! Can I be your boyfriend? No! Your girlfriend! No, I need some time to think about it... Do you wanna be a boyfriend or a girlfriend? You can absolutely think about it! Do you wanna be my boyfriend? No, my girlfriend! No, I need some time to think about it...
I've jumped the shark In a stolen car, And I broke my own heart. And I broke my own heart.

TMBG is a big inspiration and influence to me, and you all should definitely check them out!
Lyrics: No taxi can take you No trains rolling by No bicycle shops No planes in the sky Planes in the sky
Not a night spent in jail Parrot on my arm Not a man of the world No patch on my eye Patch on my eye
Dark and metric is my town Every day and night Just because you're floating Doesn't mean you haven't drowned
No spoiler, no windscoop No mag wheels in back No hydraulic shocks No privacy glass Privacy glass
Before you ask, if you were going to, which you probably weren't, but that's okay, it's fine... what was I saying- OH
No, this is not a pony song. I like this picture though, and I think this is a good fit for Luna. So if you think about sending this to EqD, don't. Even though they'd probably still put it up. That's not the POINT GOD DAMN I-

LYRICS: Once bass fueled my heartbeat Once trance chilled my hot-headed soul Now I'm playing a role
Once songs kept me in heat Once synths were my only nouveau Oh, where did it go?
Everything's staged And everything's built The fruit doesn't age The flowers don't wilt Everything's staged And everything's made Have I been played?
And if you hear the pumping sound of drums It's EQ'd, revised, and delayed And if you yell and scream at every thump It's not live, it's like everything: staged!
Cut out five shows early I can't take this unending tour No, not anymore
No cash or deal can help me I'm still -- silence cuts to my bones Just leave me alone
Everything's staged And everything's lies I'm ruled by my rage The money's run dry Everything's staged And everything hurts Is this my curse?
And if you see my smile shined up in lights It's been paid off, retouched, and afraid And if you climb when you're afraid of heights There is no one who comes to your aid
Set the gain to zero Someone sweep the dust from the room It's over so soon
Now I've met my heroes And they told me everything's staged They let me be caged
Everything's staged The world is all lies A war you can wage Or say your goodbyes Everything's staged Don't tell me it's real You do what you feel?
Everything's staged And everything's built The fruit doesn't age The flowers don't wilt Everything's staged Electric or not... Don't give it a thought.Steven, A.D. - Somewhere (feat.

=====
Over a year or so ago, on one of the spotlight posts on EqD that included one of my songs, I accidentally found a little song called "Somewhere I Belong" by, well, Talk Acanthi. It's been stuck in my head periodically ever since. It's so beautiful and completely nails the feeling that the original story, "Somewhere Only We Know" put forth. Dreams are something that fascinates me, as you may or may not have figured out, and really are a bit of a reoccurring theme in a lot of what I write.
I wanted to expand further upon the concept, and I got the idea to do so by standing on the shoulders of those before me, so to speak. Or... type. Whatever. So here it is. I am so happy with this song. c:
=====
LYRA-ICS: [Verse 1:] There between the mattress sheets Anything could be. Up in clouds, and floating somehow Hours will power dreams
Confined, solace inside, She's far away. Color bright, enveloping sight- She thinks she might stay...
(She might- She might stay... She might stay.)
Guard your heart, and fear the dark: That societal invention, but they didn't mention any Real reason, and this girl is so clever; Their little front couldn't really last forever. She knows of portals- massive, immortal, To lands with the bluest skies, and she'll fly Up and away. Now the party is starting at last light. And she'll sleep tight.
[Chorus:] I know my best friends but are they really there? Do I pretend that I can fly with the wind blowing through my hair? I have been living this dream for what feels like far too long, But in the end it seems that this is somewhere I belong.
[Verse 2:]
This obsession is her profession. Never question the dim procession. Lost direction without correction. And no protection from imperfection.
[solo]
She knows herself better than anyone else. She hopes like hell she never loses that as well. A broken spell, how could she EVER tell, As without a knell, she never knew she even fell.
Another chapter, herein, hereafter, Filled up with laughter the planet doesn't matter. She feels fine it's No more lies. It's defiance. She needs silence.
[Chorus] I know my best friends but are they really there? Do I pretend that I can fly with the wind blowing through my hair? I have been living this dream for what feels like far too long, But in the end it seems that this is somewhere I belong. When I am here I can fly and make light and sound erupt, But does the rainboom exist or did I just make it up? I have been living this dream for what feels like far too long, But in the end it seems that this is somewhere I belong.Steven, A.D. - Rarity y el Cangrejo GrandeLSST2013-10-13 | THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. 1990 IS A LARGE NUMBER (and also the year i managed to sneak into this place that we live called earth. i had to beat like 5000 ninjas.)
i did this song for toastbeard ZIQ 90. i wasn't planning on putting it up here on YT but I figured this would be interesting as a 1990 subs special Plus I forgot to make a 1990 subs special and I panicked.
LYRA-ICS: As I behold the scene Fascination's got a hold on me
And now I'm wondering If it's you or me
Who's the one that's truly crazy
why is this happening? why is this happening...
A giant fucking crab that by all means Should be colla-apsing Under gravity But there's it's sta-anding And if you're asking me I'd say I really think
We should fucking flee Don't be attached to anything You'll be detatched from things Like legs and wing that probly really stings So come on follow me.
there's debris as far as the eye can see and is that my blood i'm tasting oh god I got it in my mouth

LYRA-ICS:
[Verse 1:] Say you spent your days far away from things you love Eyes are looking glazed, it's an endless cycle of "You're not good enough, you were never on the level Misshapen to the core, far too jagged of a bevel."
An atmosphere of hapless fear, This atlas-sphere that traps you here- They don't hear that constant jeer when they tell you to persevere
"Gets better," they all say, "So, hunker down keep your chin up, hey? Bow your head, and learn to pray-" And they shake their heads when you walk away
[Chorus:] Maybe now you know how to prove it Don't look back or you'll find you're rooted down To the ground
It's a fact, anywhere you are For heaven's sake, you're the brightest star around All around
[Verse 2:] Now you're peering at the ceiling, the ceiling appearing fine starts with Peeling and revealing the reeling you feel inside. You're hearing that old demon and dealing is stealing time But seeing as you're healing the feeling is realized that
You were never alone in your loneliness Can't atone, and your tone is a ghost of its Past glory but the story isn't over. Think again in the morning when you're sober.
A depressing scene, and they're questioning. But your pressing need, it's a jest, perceived. You're the best you be, and you best believe, In this lesson: see, it's never "just a dream."
[Chorus 2:]
Maybe now you know how to prove it- Don't look back or you'll find you're rooted down To the ground.
It's a fact, anywhere you are, For heaven's sake, you're the brightest star around. All around.
So today is the day you're leaving; Chase the rain, all the pain will even out... Somehow.
It's a fact, anywhere you are For heaven's sake, you're the brightest star around. All around.
[End:] Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Don't give it up, no not one bit; You're much more, and that's just it. Hum a tune, help your mind forget, 'Cause music heals like a tourniquet
Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Got so much in your life to prove, People there don't believe in you. Know we all feel the same way too; Wish we could leave but we just make do.
Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Don't give it up, no not one bit; You're much more, and that's just it- Hum a tune, help your mind forget, 'Cause music heals like a tourniquet.
Maybe now you'll know how to prove it. Maybe now you'll know how to prove it.
Lyrics: Amateur by definition, maybe. But no good's the world without a Steven, A.D. 4chans galore, the Earth is getting hatey And Fox News, Howard Stern think I'm crazy
But friendship is magic and I'm the group mage Scrapbook or spellbook, I'll flip another page Soon it is filled to the brim, the memories may dim But friends are friends it never ends.
So go get ya cookies and punch by the door You know you want more, you want an encore Have another sip, have a big bite Samples or verse to make you want to Dash to the mic
As the French say, got that I don't know what, You're a Scootaloo, lookin' starstruck Go ahead, collect your jaw from the ground, Got the bronies holdin' it down.Steven, A.D. - The SamelingLSST2013-03-21 | DOWNLOAD (Alright, copyright claim was BS. Download proper is back haha): http://www.mediafire.com/?qo31qr1swdcvisn
After so much time living as a normal pony, a changeling can run the risk of forgetting who he really is. Sure, a changeling will always be a changeling, but must every changeling think the same? Is there no escape from the hive mentality? What started as research- reconnaissance even- has slowly turned into a way of life, and now this changeling's new home is threatened by his old.
Is it possible to live as someone you are not, yet that facade be who you really are?
Wow, that reads like an intro to some poorly-written fanfic.
Written for Toastbeard, ZIQ62. I actually won hahaha
I was going to add more to this but... I just... don't like this song that much. I'm told it's nice, so I still put it up here, but... mehhhhhh
=====
LYRA-ICS: [Verse 1]: Now I know it's hard to see How I feel When change is here to stay.
But I beg you, please don't leave I am real And that won't go away.
I live out here and my life is a fake But there's a growing dream I just can't shake You'd see who I am behind the facade But I'd probably make you scream "my god".
I don't want that but I'm out of place. The thought of terror there on your face- My hooves turn to stone and my tongue to steel Each time I try to make the reveal.
But I love your voice and I love your eyes, And I hate who I am and I hate these lies. Can't pretend that this is fine, But the fate of the town is now on the line...
[Chorus x2]: I'm just a changeling Whatever fate brings I'm just a changeling That's what they're telling me.
I'm just a changeling Whatever fate brings I'm still the same I was Born to make believe.
Believe believe believe believe believe...
[Verse 2]: Life drags on like I'm in hell Even so, Your smile's all I see...
Chrysalis says I'm doing well... I don't know. Is love just what I need?
I bide my time watch the day approach, As the hive I knew will soon encroach... This attitude is ambivalent I hope- I pray they'll give, relent.
But Chrysalis gets whatever she must And the lonely bug is the one that's crushed I can't be here when your heart is broken- But you stop me with these two words spoken:
"Don't leave." I don't wear sleeves, But if I did, I would guess my heart would be Right there attached, and that is that. It's no return on 1 2 3 4
[Chorus x4]: I'm just a changeling Whatever fate brings I'm just a changeling That's what they're telling me.
I'm just a changeling Whatever fate brings I'm still the same I was Born to make believe.
Font:In Earnest [instrumental]LSST2013-03-12 | This came about as a result of me learning more about 3xOsc. You can do a lot more with that than I thought.Coconeru & Steven, A.D. - Tavi and Scratch (A Tropical Octav3)LSST2013-02-20 | Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?l6o7fdrok3uzr4b
Octavia and Vinyl Scratch are shipwrecked! Vinyl, ever the hopeless optimist, sees the silver lining, but Octavia is not quite so happy about the whole experience. Vinyl decides she's not going to let her good friend sulk in any case and so tries to cheer her up with a barrage of positivity. And dancing. Probably.
LYRA-ICS: [RAP] You may call it a crash, I call it a fly in: Here to perform on this desert-ed island Jealous, cause I leave a pony smilin'? You need to chill, cause you knowin' who I am
Out here, no cell phone service With a blank stare, it don't serve its purpose Not worthless, look under the surface Clear blue sea and these ponies are shirtless
Spectacular, you don't speak tree The vernacular, you. know it beats me; Never mastered words, it isn't easy. Leave a wreck afterwards, so Tavi please please
I need a beat- we need an atlas, I need a drink, but we're rather mapless At an impasse- pass me the track list Trackless in fact, though I lack this, I blast this.
Not known to be patient So far from home- from our Equestrian nation Miss the standing ovation Miss the lights and the stage: what a grand innovation-
Pain is bass: heavy, I drop it Smile in place, don't know you got it Don't always get what you're hopin' for More worry than a bat with a Jokermort
But we're still breathing And the sunset is setting so sweetly this evening. Know you're thinking of leaving, But though it seems hopeless, I hope you believe me.
It's an issue not insurmountable Never was a test, no one holds you accountable, Can't advance in life without stressin', But worry defeats, let me teach you a lesson
Life is full of problems- life is full of hurtin'- But it's hardest to solve when your mind isn't certain That you're on the right path, right track- what's that? Don't know where we are, but I know where we're at.
Gallop-agos Islands, I'm here with you Don't pick sides when it's only we two Don't brood, what did I do? You're my best friend, there's no need to argue!
To have a good time I don't need your permission, But time'll crawl by when's work's inefficient. Know that you're raring to go and get fishin'. But, Tavi, Tavi, stop and just listen!
We'll carry on, somebody gets you, So sing your song, the melody will let you Get your worries gone. Celest'll bless you. New day will dawn; we'll focus on our rescue
[SING] 1 2 3 Tavi dance with me! Though we're lost at sea depressed is just no way to be, come on let's take things slow help is on its way I know so, We've nowhere to go!
[RAP AGAIN] Call it crash, or call it a fly in Here to perform on this desert-ed island Jealous, cause I leave a pony smilin'? You need to chill, cause you know just who I am
Out here, no cell phone service With a blank stare, it don't serve its purpose Not worthless, look under the surface Clear blue sea and these ponies are shirtless.Make Some Time to Close Your Eyes (vocal cover)LSST2013-02-09 | ORIGINAL SONG: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5mFidQMexg
Art is an amazing picture by shadowkixx: http://shadowkixx.deviantart.com/art/Till-The-Sun-Sets-335809901 ===== I've mentioned this song several times before, but I couldn't get over how damn GOOD it is. This is hands (or hooves) down my favorite fan song yet to be released in this fandom, and is most definitely the best Applejack song to have been put out by anyone. Everything about it is just fucking perfect.
I don't think I even came close to the original, but I did my best haha
Thanks to Adam th3 Walker for letting me ruin his instrumental... You should all go and subscribe to him right now. DO IT. DOOOO IT.
Also, a huge thanks to Jeff Burgess for helping me with the mixing and making me polish this thing rather than rush it out like I was tempted to do. You should subscribe to him too.
LYRA-ICS: I hear you're looking for a way to cope with all the things you've heard and seen Letting your past envelop you like smoke and it's too late to let yourself breathe You've done things you never ever should have done, building a wall, breaking them down Filling your cup with love of a mother and father so recently placed in the ground And it hurts when you let it show, so you do what you can to forget Filling your heart with sadness
I never got the feeling you were one so easily cowed But look at you now, proud, no longer keeping it together And I know it can be a rockslide down, that there's No easy way to escape pain, but if you could change the weather, maybe you could smile Giving every piece of yourself to fight back the sky black Clouds, covering the ground, raining down Soot, blood and tears and those flim flam fears you gotta Share, this isn't the time, Ponyville needs you, to Carry the weight of the whole town and weed too There's barely time in the day to fit a thank you It's more worry one mare can see through Take a breath and close your eyes
Lie down and let yourself be carried away by the afternoon breeze blowing down through the trees In the morning you will rise and then you'll ...stand back and look up at the sky finally Free from fatigue and the stars in your eyes
Make some time to close your eyes and dream that everything will be alright Take care of yourself before you lose your fight
There's nothing like the sound of hooves to chill you to your bones A literalization of the metaphor of oh ho no Maybe there is a place somewhere on the moon where Everything's so far away from you now and you want to go back home but Chill out This is just a path that you have chosen Ponies that expect too much can't tell you where you're going Everything is pressing in but you can find a way out if you Make the time to close your weary eyes and slow down And then you'll see you don't have to be the Only one fighting for the world just take a moment to, I dunno, make a stack of pancakes Smother them in syrup and set them on a cheap plate Stop to appreciate the best things in life Open up to all the stuff that illuminates the night When you get discouraged even if you feel alone Well, it isn't like things that go wrong are the only things you own
Make some time to close your eyes and dream that everything will be alright Take care of yourself before you lose your fight x2Steven, A.D. - Wherever You AreLSST2013-02-06 | This is a bit different; it's not pony, there are no vocals, and it doesn't even have a drum beat (GASP). I wanted to write an instrumental piano track a while back, and so I did, and so this was the result.
It's probably not the smoothest transitionally, but eh...
Yes, I know this is an old song. No, I don't care.
Wow, over 500? Sweet jesus! And I'm still coming down off the high that was hearing my song in an actual fucking documentary. This has not only been a great week, but also a great start to 2013, and I really look forward to making more things for all you crazy people hahaha
Everyone always talks about Vinyl Scratch after she's already become famous, after everyone is always listening to her and her music, but I'm more interested in the road that led her there. Obviously, as an aspiring musician I feel a lot of connection to her, and so I wrote this (partly as a message to myself) about not giving up and keeping things going no matter what happens. I hope you enjoy it.

LYRA-ICS:
VERSE 1: Can't believe the things you read Like words in a magazine that Say a name don't mean anything. No escape from your destiny.
And you swore you would never let it go Never let it fade, so today you know That your talent was never so apropos. Go reap what the years have sown.
Make up your mind to bring it on back Re-invent, make a brand new act. Fiddle with a knob- too much attack You save, you save but you're losing track
At your desk till the break of dawn Feeling in a funk; the music's gone Down with the blues; now the beat's all wrong, But your head picks up when they play your song.
CHORUS: You're on your way to the top, And everywhere you go people say you're gonna stop Right now. Oh hooo-oooo. Ohhhh, but you will never back down No matter where you go everyone will hear the sound Right now. Oh hooo-oooo. Yeahah
BRIDGE:
One little pony went to Manehattan. Two little ponies said nothing would happen. Those little ponies will see her much clearer. When ten thousand ponies come out to see her.
[SOLO]
VERSE 2: A new invention- it's a fusion. Got a vision, you're refusin' To stick to the paradigm; Normal's a prison you live outside.
Insanity, you make it. Don't care for molds, you break it. They're raging, pacing. You're graced with the patrons, you're amazing.
Keep your chin up, make Kontakt. Heads turning, Nexus snap back, You got DAWs, Massive appeal, Eatin' Fruit Loops at every meal.
So simple, just hit play: Make all the problems fade away. Live no worries come what may and Make your day, gotta rush that stage.
CHORUS: You're on your way to the top, And everywhere you go people say you're gonna stop Right now. Oh hooo-oooo. Ohhhh, but you will never back down No matter where you go everyone will hear the sound Right now. Oh hooo-oooo. Yieaheah
BRIDGE 2: Hey, what's in a name? A rose is sweet, But all the same No easy feat. The task is plain. Mark of the beat. And you can call her DJ-PON3.
CHORUS You're on your way to the top, And everywhere you go people say you're gonna stop Right now. Oh hooo-oooo. Oh, but you will never back down No matter where you go everyone will hear the sound Right now. Oh hooo-oooo. Eyhyeaeah.
Now broom you must now sweep for me The dust it fills my room No Steve I will not sweep for you For I am not your broom What nonsense are you speaking broom? My words you must obey Another life awaits me And I'm leaving you today
I am not your broom I am not your broom I've had enough I'm throwing off My chains of servitude I am not your broom I am not your broom No longer must I sweep for you For I am not your broom

I just wanted to write something funny. Don't put TOO much stock in the lyrics. Or at least all of them.
Original song is The Ultimate Showdown by Lemon Demon, but you prolly knew that.
I love this song. It sounds so happy, yet it's so sad. And not in an obvious way. I just feel like there's so much subtlety to it and it's so friggin' catchy haha.
Your eyes are like arpeggios on fire.
LYRA-ICS: 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 our silly song
When I was a little filly, a galloping blaze overtook my city So they shipped me off to the orphanage. Said, "ditch those roots if you wanna fit in" So I dug one thousand holes and cut a rug with orphan foals Memories are blurred, and their faces are obscured, but I 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 Please children stop your crying And just sing along with me
When I was a little filly, a galloping blaze overtook my city So they shipped me off to the orphanage. Said, "ditch those roots if you wanna fit in" So I dug one thousand holes and cut a rug with orphan foals Memories are blurred, and their faces are obscured, but I 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 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 meSteven, A.D. - My Kingdom for a HorseLSST2012-11-04 | Download (this track keeps getting marked as being restricted due to copyright, i assume because of the title. it seems like you can still download it, but let me know if you run into any problems): http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?oa8oxw71uz5ozxq

Celestia wakes up one day to find her castle abandoned and in disrepair. What will she find in the hauntingly desecrated hallways?
This is not either of the collabs I have in the works. I wanted to try something a bit different, so here's a track WITHOUT VOCALS. *gasp*
TODAY I LEARNED THAT YOUTUBE'S PREVIEWS REALLY REALLY DON'T LIKE TRANSPARENCY.
YOUR FAITHFUL MUSIC BRO, STEVEN, A.D.
P.S. I WROTE A SONG CHECK IT OUT PLZKTHX
=====
Apparently this song is terrible. (Steph from the far off future year of 2024, here. I wrote that ^^^ line after it got rejected from EqD years ago, and wow was I salty little bitch LOL. honestly the song *isn't* that good, but that's how ya learn.)Gypsy Bard in Space (two fiddy (plus seven) sub special)LSST2012-09-19 | Holy crap. 250? You guys are awesome. Have some Pinkie in space.
I've had this chorus stuck in my head for at least a month, and so I finally decided to write the rest of it just so I CAN BE FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST.
The story behind this is- wait, do I really need to explain this? It's Season 1, Episodes 1 and 2, though it's told in the fashion of a storyteller regaling a crowd with some legend. More or less. That's what it is in my mind.
VERSE 1: Let me Tell you a tale from long ago- But I guess that you might already know How Twilight Sparkle knew a thing or two About the prophesy foretold in that dusty old volume.
Myth and legend opposing fact At a surface glance but with a deeper pass and knack For understanding, and given time, The truth is formed between the lines.
Could the Nightmare come back again or Was the mare in the moon just a mythical event? And how could she know of just where, or just when? 'Was a mission for a mare with a letter to the Princess.
Send the note, save the day, either way Twilight knew the words and knew what to say- Banana foreshadowing a scented reply: "For the love of god, Twilight, go outside."
CHORUS: Twilight Sparkle doesn't have any friends- That feeling is growing each day that she spends Safe in her fortress made of books and of pens. And spends her time reading again and again.
Verse 2: Oversee the summer sun celebration. Ponyville party association- No, that was Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy.
No peace or space to have time to think- When you're new in this town, it's the "logical" thing. So they rocked that tree all night, And at the sunrise Nightmare Moon arrived.
Never one to back down, or bow out When she knew how to know how to turn things about, Knowledge wasn't anything new to this Miss, Cause there's time and a place to spend your time inside a fortress.
"Elementalry, my dear Watson. Gots one Task for Spike: go be awesome. Time's the essence, harmony the key- Where did you find that? UNDER E!
CHORUS Twilight Sparkle doesn't have any friends- That feeling is growing each day that she spends Safe in her fortress made of books and of pens, And spends her time reading again and again.
VERSE 3: "Deep in the Everfree? Let's go! Giggle at some ghostly trees? I know that No matter shyness, prideful blindness or Crimes of fashion, a strength aligns us.
True strength, truth in that our path Filled with love was always more than a match For such hatred- though a Nightmare shakes a Lonely pony's faith, we are not so baseless."
[SOLO]
AFTER SOLO: Magic powers so contained inside a pendant on a chain and sparked by something so mundane Yet beautiful: their friendship.
Ol' Luna is with us now, And though the Student's gone, she is still around- Hey, Twilight, who needs the limelight? Your home's the sky, alright? Shine bright.
CHORUS: "Twilight Sparkle didn't have any friends," Was all too familiar each day that she spent Trapped in her fortress made of books and of pens. And spent her time reading again and again.
CHORUSER: Twilight Sparkle didn't have any friends, But one thing is certain: that's come to an end. And sweet Celestia has a message to send: "Enjoy your new life here; let the good times begin."
CHORUSEST: Twilight Sparkle has the greatest of friends; That feeling is growing each day that she spends Right here in Ponyville to learn all she can Of the magic of friendship again and again.
To be perfectly honest, I did not expect this to get on EqD. Color me surprised. Which as we all know is white and yellow :L
===== This is my entry for Remix War V, and this is also my first time remixing anything. It was fun. I liked. I don't know if I'll do more remixing, but it was a nice experience.
There will be music playin' all around No matter where you are, you will hear the sound If I could have it my way, I'd spin my records all day and let the music play
So all the way to Celestia's castle Past the trees of the Everfree Forest Down the road from Sweet Apple Acres That's where you'll find me Chrysalis could be wreaking havoc Mr. Discord could strike again and Diamond Dogs could be mean heartbreakers but we'll still party
When you're a deejay just like me Random ponies all are your dancers and the music has all the answers. When you're a deejay just like me All you wanna do is make people smile that's why I'll stay a deejay When you're a unicorn and that's the way that you were born Then, you're a DEEJAY JUST LIKE ME
There will be dubstep in every pony's ears There will be bass drops that everybody hears There will be parties and there will be no fears That's what I want so bad
Sapphire Shores will be singin' loudly. Spike the Dragon is dancing proudly. Aren't you glad that your town just found me? Friends and music will soon surround me! Every last pegasi Flap your wings, start to fly- So happy I could cry.
When you're a deejay just like me Random ponies all are your dancers and the music has all the answers. When you're a deejay just like me All you wanna do is make people smile that's why I'll stay a deejay When you're a unicorn And that's the way that you were born, Then you're a deejay just like me.
[SYNTH SOLOLOLOLOLOOOOO] [That's not part of the lyrics]
So all the way to Celestia's castle. Chrysalis could be wreaking havoc. Mr. Discord could strike again. Diamond Dogs could be mean heartbreakers, But we'll still party.
When you're a deejay just like me Random ponies all are your dancers and the music has all the answers. When you're a deejay just like me All you wanna do is make people smile That's why I'll Stay a deejay. When you're a unicorn, And that's the way that you were born, Then you're a Deejay just like me. =====
Background... wave... thing... or something: http://creativity103.com =====Steven, A.D. - So UnrainbowLSST2012-08-30 | I was really going back and forth as to whether I would put this up here on the youtubz. Because on one hand, I wrote it in two hours for toastbeard and I think it's really really bad, but on the other hand I ended up tying for first place with it.
I also considered tidying it up and extending it a bit, but then when I thought about it, I realized I have NOTHING else to say about the song. SO. Here it is in all its (non-)glory.
I promise I have some "serious" music coming up here soon, so I guess treat this as an in-between? Or better yet, go listen to someone else :L
Today I learned a valuable lesson on the magic of friendship. Sometimes, it's best not to get what you want. Especially when what you want is super powers. Please help me.
You always thought you were better than me. And that Rainbow Dash would fade in history I don't want to hear all these things unsaid So I came up with a plan in my head
Hey Twilight, one simple spell Make my dreams alive, may the thought compel You to dig into the musty archives, that's right This time we'll find a way if it takes all night.
Though at first you were right on the fence It took some doing, and now you're convinced About the plan of attack, let the magic commence and hope all goes to plan without an incident
Well, so much for no incidents. I guess I should have thought a bit more about this It's tragic, but it's your fault, your magic Now the only transmissions are static.
Oh. Crap. Maybe I should have thought this through. No one really cares if they can't even see how fast you Are.
I'm a living prison and my decision To tip the scales to balance out derision Has left my life without hope of revision, And I never quite worked out long division.
But I just couldn't help myself Why are there lines around the numbers? That's really really confusing.
Is being the bestest and fastest pegasus alive really all it cracked up to be? Well, you see... it has. I'm like, twenty times faster than Spitfire now.
I bet I could like, enter into the Ponylimpics and win EVERYthing.
That's pretty rainbow.
Dear Princess Celestia,
Nevermind.
Your faithful fastest pegasus in everything ever, Rainbow Dash.
I'M SORRY RAINBOW DASH, I DID WHAT THE TB TOLD ME TO DO T_T
Also, it sounds like I have a lisp. I think it's because I suck at mixing.Steven, A.D. - Miss RarityLSST2012-08-05 | Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?6ch8eaacldm5lme ========= Inspired by Lil' Miss Rarity.
The nightmares I had afterward are also inspired by Lil' Miss Rarity.
My body's useless. My mind's going blank. Now all your hopes for life are simply summarized By a symbol on your flank.
She said I could be a model, And so blurred the lines. A dream I never had could never hold me back, And this mark belies what lies inside.
My new home on the catwalk, I'm down with this and I can't talk right now- Goodbye to the life I knew, outgrew, can never pound me down. All look on in horror, in a thought, my suit's deplorable but, Wrapped up in chains, my brain once lame is once again fully awake.
She said I could be a model- Fashions designed by Hyde. Black leather bound: critics would rave about If anyone ever made it out alive.
Oh, Miss Rarity, with all sincerity: Is this pain just pain or love? Little Rarity, how you're scaring me, But I just can't get enough. Miss Rarity, with all sincerity: Is this pain just pain or love? My Little Rarity, how you're scaring me, But I just can't...

This was a lot of fun to write and sing, even if I did feel really dirty afterward.Karaoke at TrotconLSST2012-07-25 | I was going back and forth on whether I wanted to upload this, but I figured I might as well. I sang Luna (Alex S. remix at least) at Trotcon dressed as Vinyl Scratch.
Also, I was really really nervous and forgot 1/4 of the lyrics.
Thanks to j-brony for (secretly) recording me.
(It might look like I was really disinterested, and that was because I could either look disinterested or pass out. There is no middle ground.)
LYRA-ICS: [Verse 1] These books and pens are just fabulous friends Amongst relationships I've built at this school I attend but Nothing quite compares to a mare's company And only one mare was ever really there for me.
Urging me, get out, explore the world Why would you read about events when you can watch them unfurl? It's hard to make an argument with logic this sound, she's buckin' my walls and breakin' 'em down, pushing me out from my familiar ground.
Bought our tickets, now I'm taking a seat Never could admit it, but a skeptic is me. But I guess that I will give it a shot. Even though I know the weather there's a little bit hot.
Well, four hours later when my patience runs out, I'm bewildered how she smiles as I open my mouth Talking how i'm so sick of this bouncing about When suddenly she shouts:
[Chorus [Yeah, okay i get it; I sang the chorus weird (So I changed the lyrics to match.).]] Ay-Appleloosa! Canterlot can't hold a candle to ya We're on our way! Our train treads tracks as it fades away. Ay-Appleloosa! It's why, not where, when you're chasing love. We're on our way! She said, "won't you come to stay?"
[Verse 2:] Shine and rise cause the moment's arrived Sublime is her expression as we step outside- Outside, wild west, mild west, saloon, Braeburn welcome wagon's much too much ado
About a town where I see so little really going down Other than that one bum lying face down on the ground All around, not a sound, rather sounds that I have found To be found in a town where things are really going down.
This town was the center of a buffalo attack In the past and the past is the pastime act- Re-enacting ev-ver-y detail exactly matching Gotta give them credit for this acting.
Gotta share, gotta care, and suddenly I am aware. Of all of the faces I am the only frown that's out there. Some pink mare points a hoof at my chair and so the ponies stop to stare.
[Bridge] My head is buried between my hooves. I feel a gentle nudge so I lock eyes with you, and With a twinkling wink an inkling I think I see: There's something here for me.
[Chorus]
[Verse 2.5] Bought our tickets now we're taking a seat. Despite my reservations was a wonderful week. Tears are streaming down her face, And I can finally admit that it's a wonderful place.
I wipe her eyes, an emotion arise-s She takes her lips and plants a kiss on mine- yes, It's gonna be Appleloosan nights for me. Yeah!
[Chorus]

Also, if you want to talk at my face there are various methods with which to fulfill this desire.
Skype! Er... actually just message me on here if you want my skype name...
UM... well. I'd say twitter, but I don't have one. So I guess there's only one or two ways to talk to me. But please do talk to me; I'm ronery.Friendship ExpressLSST2012-07-01 | I like trains.
