Love Like You (Cover) // MathematicPony MathematicPony 2022-06-10 | Streaming and download links in description!Hi friends! Today I have a Steven Universe cover for you! This one is very special to me. Today (June 10th) is the birthday of a dear friend I lost to illness. For many of his birthdays, I recorded him a cover of a song he liked. And many years ago, we kept up with Steven Universe together – I got him into it by showing him the music.We played in various bands together throughout the years. Sometimes at his place we would jam on SU tunes; he’d play bass or guitar, and I’d play his out-of-tune piano or his ukulele – the same ukulele that is in my cover of Time Adventure (in fact, he's the reason my cover of Time Adventure exists, but that's a story for another day). So, for his birthday, here is Love Like You 💖For 🍅Love, π::::: DOWNLOAD / STREAM :::::Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/3792Q1aip9UWbiPD0xhCas?si=846cc4b958e44c9fApple: music.apple.com/us/album/love-like-you/1628506473?i=1628506475Bandcamp: mathematicpony.bandcamp.com/track/love-like-you::::: LYRICS :::::If I could begin to beHalf of what you think of meI could do about anythingI could even learn how to loveWhen I see the way you actWondering when I'm coming backI could do about anythingI could even learn how to love like youI always thought I might be badNow I'm sure that it's true'Cause I think you're so goodAnd I'm nothing like youLook at you go, I just adore youI wish that I knewWhat makes you think I'm so specialIf I could begin to doSomething that does right by youI would do about anythingI would even learn how to loveWhen I see the way you lookShaken by how long it tookI could do about anythingI could even learn how to love like youYouYouYou::::::::::9/27(6/27: poniesatdawn.bandcamp.com/track/polaris7/27: poniesatdawn.bandcamp.com/track/who-i-could-be-feat-mathematicpony8/27: TBA)

It went through many revisions (and entire genre changes!), and finally it's done.

Ballad of the Secondsun // Original CRITICAL ROLE C3 Fan Song — MathematicPony MathematicPony 2022-03-02 | Hey friends! (Campaign 3 spoilers ahead!!!!)Today I’ve got something totally different for all of you! This is a song about Dorian Storm from Critical Role Campaign 3 :) Dorian leaving after being around for the first 14 episodes of C3 wasn’t completely unexpected, as I always knew C3 would have multiple guests throughout, we already miss him (and his actor/creator, Robbie Daymond!!!) immensely.I went for lots of very flowery metaphor because Dorian is a bard, and I wanted to honor that by making something bard-ish in nature! Also I have lots of feelings about Dorian being separated from Orym and Fearne for the time being (crying).I hope you enjoy!::::: STREAM & DOWNLOAD :::::Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/2UUqk4cWV60sicr2AVtdkY?si=30f39bf5e7f241c9Apple: music.apple.com/us/album/ballad-of-the-secondsun/1611984582?i=1611984583Bandcamp: mathematicpony.bandcamp.com/track/ballad-of-the-secondsun::::: LYRICS :::::(Verse 1)A seed in the windDestined to driftEventually settles its rootsThough firm in its graspSomeday it will passAnd continue its drifting pursuits(Chorus)For settled in stone and in soilFlowers remain for a whileBut it is foretold as the Secondsun toilsThe Storm will return to the sky(Verse 2)Though firm in its newfound beliefs, it will fruitLeaving behind new seedsIt will return when the wind takes it homeBut for now it must drift on the breeze(Chorus 2)For settled in shield and in vineWill lead to a tempest goodbyeBut it is foretold as the Wyvernwind blowsThe Storm will return from the sky(Verse 3)A seed in the windDestined to driftBearing the weight of his nameWill come to the truthAt the core of his youthAnd lead the first light to the dayHe’ll lead the first light to the day- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Is it Thursday yet?4/27

Burden to Bear // Original She-Ra Song — MathematicPony MathematicPony 2021-12-30 | ::::: STREAMING & DOWNLOAD LINKS IN DESCRIPTION :::::Hey friends! This is my first She-Ra song from Adora's perspective! It's set as she and Catra approach the Heart of Etheria, and she's fully intending to give up her life to save everyone. However – as we know, Catra doesn't think she should need to do that. And Catra's belief that Adora should get to choose what she wants is ultimately what saves Adora – and everyone!NOTE: Youtube likes to compress audio, so it'll sound best at 1440p or higher!I hope you enjoy the song! I had a really fun time working on all the sounds for this one. The concentric shapes image is a representation of the Heart. The animation loop I worked on got REALLY janky – but, after I zoned out for several minutes watching how it flexed weirdly and the internal cube came apart, I realized it was kind of hypnotic as it was, so I kept it in its janky state hahaha.

It was set from Twilight's perspective – on the train to get to Our Town after the map first called them there. She really didn't know what was in store for her or her friends – much like I didn't know what was in store for me when I released this song originally 6 years ago, hah!I've re-approached the song from the ground up and I went a bit of a different direction with it so it has its own identity.

Death By A Thousand Cuts (Preview & Link) –Taylor Swift Cover by Elyse/Math MathematicPony 2021-05-14 | FULL SONG: youtu.be/PDJ7x8y-yOQHey friends! I just released a cover of Taylor Swift's Death By A Thousand Cuts over on my other channel :) I wanted to put up a little preview here instead of uploading the whole thing to this channel, because this is my fandom-related channel. My other channel is more for mainstream pop covers and originals (as opposed to fandom-related stuff) – but I thought some of you might still be interested in hearing it, so here's a little preview & link :-)Actually, that's a question for you guys! As listeners of MathematicPony, are you interested in hearing about my Elyse Shackleton pop stuff here too, or are you mainly here for the fandom music? Let me know in the comments below! I'd love to hear from you. I've released a couple of pop albums as Elyse Shackleton (called "Car Conversations" and "21 Days") and I've always been really hesitant to do too much promo here for that, just out of respect for why you guys subscribed in the first place, which I assume to be my fandom-related stuff! 😅Anyway, hope you enjoy if you decide to go listen to the whole thing!::::: STREAM & DOWNLOAD :::::Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/1sVQEExol1rrDbJXSFQEka?si=71e21e5007594ab0Apple: h t t p s : / / m u s i c . a p p l e . c o m / u s / a l b u m / d e a t h - b y - a - t h o u s a n d - c u t s - s i n g l e / 1 5 6 7 3 6 2 4 5 1

Just This Once // ORIGINAL CATRADORA (She-Ra) Song — MathematicPony MathematicPony 2020-06-07 | Hey, friends! [EDIT: NOW AVAILABLE ON SPOTIFY AND APPLE MUSIC!]Yeah, so...... She-Ra season 5 happened, and I'm dead, on the floor, crying, sobbing, convulsing... all that good stuff! I literally HAD to write a song. Like, I had so many feelings that I physically could not contain them. AHHHHHHH. So they leaked out of me in the form of this song.Anyway, this song is from Catra's perspective, and it basically tracks key moments of the season as they pertain to Catra and Adora's main story arcs, those being Catra's redemption, Adora's hero complex, and, of course, their love for each other.On a personal level, Catradora means so much for me. I admit I joined the fandom (VERY VERY VERY) late, but I think back to Korrasami at the end of 2014, and I see how very far we've come. I literally cried my whole butt off when they kissed.

This show about talking technicolored magic horses has meant a lot to me, and so has this fan base. :) It's weird to think this is going to be ending soon. I guess we'll see what's next. Thanks for the good times!Fun fact, I’ve actually had this song in various forms floating around my head and my computer for so long that I had to change the lyrics from referencing “seven years” to referencing “eight years,” hah. The track and lyrics and even the background vocals have been basically done for more than a year now but I just never recorded the lead vocals until recently.::::::DOWNLOADS:::::If you just want the mp3 for free, use the MediaFire link below.

Scroll down for details!]Hey, my friends! Long time, no see.After the Adventure Time finale, I fell in love with this song, written by the lovely Rebecca Sugar for the last episode. Her live performance at Comic Con was really inspiring, and while I loved how it played out in the show, sung by BMO, I couldn't help but have this idea in my head of how it would sound if I used all the associated instruments of the main characters. So, we have Marceline with bass, PB with chiptunes, Finn represented with ukulele, and Jake with his trusty viola. I hope you enjoy.I love this show, and I love this song. Thank you to Rebecca Sugar for writing this song, and thank you to the whole AT staff for so many years of love.[EDIT: I think YouTube's compression added a couple of audio artifact errors.

I never quite figured out YouTube's audio compression. :lThis song is about when you have friends that you see in a really positive light, but they have a hard time trying to see themselves that same way. You feel like they represent so many positive traits, but sometimes people need to hear that they have an important role in your life and in general.This fandom is super special to me. Pony fans have this awesome, eclectic mix of perfect, fantastic, weird humans that all just happened to get super into this show about talking horses. So, here’s kind of an odd mix of genres, but I had a ton of fun with this mix, as a little hello to my little corner of the internet. My school semester starts up again in a few days, but there’s more on the way!Special shout-out to daspacepony for inspiring me to get back to pony music!

Love you! They won't let me have brackets in my description, otherwise I'd less-than-three right now. Btw, I had so much fun with the bass line. I've been playing bass for a few months now, and this bass line was super fun to write and play! Lots of passing tones and fun diminished arpegios. Obviously, the chord progression is inspired by the theme song, but I changed a ton of colors of the chords themselves.Here's a random video through Citrus College of me performing a Moana song with my Disney tribute band when we were on tour earlier this year! facebook.com/citrusvpa/videos/1155684011244145

Right Through Me – Original MLP song by MathematicPony MathematicPony 2016-04-12 | Hey, guys! Long time, no see! School’s been hectic, but I’m finally on Spring break for the week, so I was like, “YO, LET’S FINALLY RECORD A SONG I WROTE WEEKS AGO!” And, so here’s a song from Spike’s perspective.HEADCANON TIME: I like to think Spike had a massive moment of realization regarding the apparency and transparency of his feelings for Rarity when she shushed him while they were both falling to their (supposed) doom together. He would have had a sudden realization that she (1) knew about his feelings, and (2) had some reason for shushing him and preventing him from voicing said feelings to her.Was it to prevent an awkward situation? If so, why was she crying? Was it because Rarity herself was unsure of her feelings, or perhaps because she felt he was too young for her? It’d be nice if Rarity would just say SOMETHING to him, but instead, everyone remains silent.This song is about Spike realizing the entire situation is more perhaps even more complex than expected with Rarity seeing through him and his feelings, and realizing his accidental transparency in the situation might have caused more harm than good.Hope you guys enjoy!:::::DOWNLOADS:::::As always, if you want the mp3 for free, feel free to use the MediaFire link below.

I hope you enjoyed that! Those of you reading this right now get an extra tidbit of my thoughts while writing and recording this.Spike is kind of a kid. He’s at least a good few years younger than Twilight and the gang, and I’m pretty sure Rarity sees that. In this song, it seems like Spike thinks there’s a chance he and Rarity might work out. But, if you look at this song from the context of what Rarity’s intentions are, it actually gets a little bit sadder underneath it all, considering I also headcanon that Rarity shushed Spike because she didn’t want to break his heart just yet, perhaps in the hope that he’d grow out of the crush on his own.Poor kid. :/

[EDIT: EQD Spotlight'd http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/12/spotlight-music-wait-everything-has.html]The inspiration for this song is pretty scattered – I wrote it with several different ships in mind, but a similar hypothetical scenario for all of them. I couldn't quite decide who I wanted to be the MAIN focus, so I left it up to interpretation and the artwork without any characters.The situation is basically just the story of someone that's been in the unknown, so to speak, with someone else, and finally it's come to light, but nothing is quite certain yet. Confusing circumstances, yo.In short, this could be anything from Sparity to LyraBon, and everything in between.

Back this week with another original. More info below. [EQD'd: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/07/music-of-day-519.html]YouTube's audio compression is weird.This particular song is about Twilight's growth, from Celestia's point of view. It talks about how Celestia feels about how deserving and ready Twilight is to do bigger and better things, having grown from her experiences and accomplished so much – and how Celestia, herself, has learned things from Twilight. (With a slight cameo from the rest of Twilight's friends!)Hope you like it!::::: DOWNLOAD :::::As always, if you want the mp3 for free, feel free to use the MediaFire link below.

Scroll down for details.][EDIT: Featured on EQD, 6/18/15! http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/06/music-of-day-513.html]Hey, guys! Got another song that I wrote for you all to listen to and [hopefully] enjoy! I'm pretty sure the audio compression is better with HD video.So, the inspiration for this song has been done to death, but I thought I'd take my own crack at it. It's from Celestia's point of view and is based off of the popular fanon that Celestia getting sucked up into ruling a kingdom caused her to start neglecting Luna, contributing-to/causing-the-rise-of Nightmare Moon. This song is basically about the regret she'd feel in having to send away the one pony that truly understands her, simply because she made mistakes.::::DOWNLOAD::::As always, if you want the mp3 for free, feel free to use the MediaFire link below.

Just Waiting – Original MLP Song by MathematicPony MathematicPony 2015-06-03 | [UPDATE: Now available on iTunes and Spotify in an album with my entire pony music discography to date! Scroll down for details.]EDIT: WOO! Spotlight'd on Equestria Daily on 6/6/15! [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/06/spotlight-music-just-waiting-journey.html]Hey, guys! Been a while since I've posted anything, and so I decided to post an original song out of the blue, because whynot! I'm pretty sure watching in HD makes the sound better, so there's that.The inspiration for this song is sort of this mental image I had of Twilight and the gang waiting on that train to get to Our Town after the map called them there, and not really knowing what was in store for them. It must be pretty nerve wracking to be waiting and having no clue what's going to happen next. But, though Twilight is starting this new adventure, she'll always come back home, wherever home may be, and no matter what, she'll do her best to fullfill her duty as Princess of Friendship.(Goodness gracious, that was dramatic.)::::DOWNLOAD::::As always, if you want the mp3 for free, feel free to use the MediaFire link below.

I sound like a total dork rapping, but that's completely fine, because it was super entertaining.I've had this song basically done for a long time, and I actually write a lot of original music – I've just never posted any original songs before for some reason or another here. I figured that with the hype surrounding the upcoming episode 100, it'd be a good time to throw this into the air for folks to listen to, and maybe even enjoy.HI KELCI
Youll Play Your Part (MLP Vocal + Piano Cover) MathematicPony 2014-09-04 | [UPDATE! Want exclusive access to outtakes, instrumentals, and more? Check out my Patreon! patreon.com/mathematicpony ]Hey, guys! Long time, no see, eh? I'm pretty sure YouTube does weird audio compression, so it'll probably sound better at 720p or 1080p.Anywho, I cranked this thing out in a few hours when I got back from school, starting about 8 PM.Please excuse my distinct lack of mixing/mastering skills!Anyway, I arranged this (in my head, due to the fact that I play by ear), came up with the harmonies, made the track, sang, etc. It was a lot of fun, for sure. It's not often there's a song I can get away with having a wall of voices on, but this is one of those.MP3 DOWNLOAD:mediafire.com/?5j7aund9hrzqde3HI KELCI
