~ Can you see me...? You... you can't can you... ~

This is a song about Pinkie Pie, who (whether through death or some other magical reason) has become a ghost, and is no longer able to physically interact with the world or communicate with her friends in the way she used to.

Despite the sad subject matter of the lyrics (though I prefer to look at them as being kind of bittersweet, since it's more about finding solace and comfort even in sad situations ='D), I cannot express how happy I am to finally be able to share this song with you all~ It's been forever since I've been able to release a new song inspired by MLP to this channel, and I really hope that this song makes up for at least a little bit of that loooong hiatus.

This is also the first time in a loooong time I've had the honor and privilege of working together with the wonderful Jastrian :D Who not only is one of the best friends I could ask for, but is also one of the best musicians I swear I've ever heard~

I really hope y'all go and check out his work if you like this song =) And be sure to look up Turquoise Splash (the magnificent) who provided the gorgeous guitar track on this song, as well as daspacepony (another close friend who I can't thank enough for helping me so much with visuals lately X3) and ezpups (AKA: Mr. My art is too perfect to not love) who are responsible for the beautiful video and artwork, links below :3

Looking forward to talking with you all in the comments! Hope y'all enjoy!

Lyrics:

Can you see me?
As you walk right through my heartache
As you glance beyond the steps I take
My eyes to be awake

Can you hear me?
When I say my heart’s about to break
When I can’t sort out this stomachache
It’s a feeling that I can’t take

And I call for you
And I wish you would too
So I hold to a dream I never had
And I think to myself it’s not so bad

I’m breaking
And oh my knees are shaking
And I can’t speak a syllable
I feel so invisible

Cause it seems to me
That the more that I try
The more I see
The less I understand

And I call for you
And I wish you would too
So I hold to a dream I never had
And I think to myself it’s not so bad

a little 2012 timbit of information I thought I'd add~
This song was heavily inspired by a lot of different things, but one of the biggest is an old song called "Break You Open" by Aruna, particularly the Airplay remix, which I used to listen to a lot as a kid. When Jastrian sent me the first instrumental for the song it reminded me of the opening chords of that song, so I ended up drawing a lot of inspiration from it to create the theme of Pinkie as a ghost. I'm sure you might be able to notice some references to Break You Open in Ghostie if you listen to them one after the other, heh ;3
