This month marks the 10th year I've been in the Brony fandom. I've been wanting to pay tribute to this song for a long long time. One of the first pony songs I heard after joining in 2011 was this Owl City parody of their hit Vanilla Twilight by Ilysabeth and Metajoker. This is my own rendition of the classic from Shining Armor's point of view, reflecting on all his little sister has accomplished during the events of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. Coincidentally, this month also marks G4's 11th birthday. There's definitely a lot to celebrate, and a lot to look forward to involving this amazing community that I'm so thankful to be a part of.

Huge thank you to my good friend FoxWaffles for drawing the art for this video. And thanks to all of you for watching!

Lyrics:

The Stars they sparkle, winking
I lie awake, heart sinking
to you it had to seem I disappeared
you'll doze off safe and soundly
but I'll miss you here beside me
I'd send for you oh, sister dear,
'cause I wish you were here

When you were just a young mare
Your Big Brother Best Friend was there
'cause I was the only pony you talked to
The silence isn't so bad
'til I look at the sky and feel sad
'cause the times that we spent together
set like the sun fading from view

We've each found different pathways
I'll still remember those days
The thought of friendship chilled you to the bone
Although we've parted, Twilight
your destiny is in sight
Your future shines so bright, but please don't fight
to do it all alone
Don't chase it on your own
Don't do it all alone

As many times as I blink, I'll think of you, Twilight

With all your friends beside you
Helping to carry you through
You've brought new harmony to all the world
The Equestria that I knew
would not be here without you
Oh if my voice could reach back to the past to tell of what you'd do...
My Twily, I'm so proud of you


Thank you to Hasbro for 10 years with your wonderfully toyetic intellectual property which I do not own. Thank you to Owl City for this classic song from my awkward high school years which I also do not own.
