This 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!
Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy! Also, I obviously don't own MLP. Please don't sue me.

Man, you guys still read this far down? 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.

Streaming links down below!
It's been a while since I've uploaded to YouTube, but this song is actually from an album I released in December called Integration by Parts! It's available on all major platforms and I'll be uploading songs from it to this channel over time.
I did this piano approach as a sort of thanks to everyone who has listened to my original cover from 2018! It's now passed 16 million streams on Spotify (which I can hardly wrap my head around). So thank you so much to everyone and I hope you enjoy this version!
::::: LYRICS ::::: Time is an illusion that helps things make sense So we're always living in the present tense It seems unforgiving when a good thing ends
But you and I will always be back then You and I will always be back then You and I will always be back then You and I will always be back then
Singing will happen, happening, happened Will happen, happening, happened and Will happen again and again 'Cause you and I will always be back then
If there was some amazing force outside of time To take us back to where we were And hang each moment up like pictures on a wall Inside a billion tiny frames So that we could see it all It would look like
Will happen, happening, happened Will happen, happening, happened and Will happen again and again 'Cause you and I will always be back then 'Cause you and I will always be back then 'Cause you and I will always be back then That's why You and I will always be best friendsLove Like You (Cover) // MathematicPonyMathematicPony2022-06-10 | 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 💖
Hey friends! This is a Rarity track I started YEARS ago. It went through many revisions (and entire genre changes!), and finally it's done. I wrote this based off of how Rarity's element of harmony was originally going to be Inspiration before they scrapped that for lack of clarity and went with Generosity. Hope you enjoy!
::::: LYRICS ::::: (Verse 1) So much inspiration She had dreams and she chased them She followed her heart, to the place where she'd start And she knew that day, she'd make creations
She has the fabric in front of her Sips her 3 AM coffee, knows the colors will match the fur And she thinks about the things that she's learned
(Chorus 1) Her eyes sparkle in brilliance Like the diamonds that taught her her life's chance to be happy was to be generosity
Her red framed glasses slip further down her face as she hums while she works on her next masterpiece and she knows that they know that everything she does is for her passion, so taken for her friends and her world, her inspiration
(Verse 2) She's not that complacent sometimes she can't sleep, she awakens from dreams about things she can't do About love that she's lost that fell through
But the images in her head The things she thinks about before she goes to bed Push her past the fear that she’s not enough Surrounded by her friends and their trust
(Chorus 2) Her eyes sparkle in brilliance Like the diamonds that taught her her life's chance to be happy was to be generosity
Her red framed glasses slip further down her face as she hums while she works on her next masterpiece and she knows that they know That everything she does is for her passion, so taken, for her friends and her world, her inspiration
(Bridge) Those nights she can’t sleep, she ponders wonders if she’s doomed to wander she hopes that she’ll give and never forget why that it is she belongs here
(Chorus 3) Her red-framed glasses are folded on the desk With sunrise tomorrow, she’ll give her best And she knows They all know that everything she does is for her dreams that she chases for her friends and her world, her inspiration
:::::::::: 5/27Ballad of the Secondsun // Original CRITICAL ROLE C3 Fan Song — MathematicPonyMathematicPony2022-03-02 | 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).
::::: LYRICS ::::: (Verse 1) A seed in the wind Destined to drift Eventually settles its roots Though firm in its grasp Someday it will pass And continue its drifting pursuits
(Chorus) For settled in stone and in soil Flowers remain for a while But it is foretold as the Secondsun toils The Storm will return to the sky
(Verse 2) Though firm in its newfound beliefs, it will fruit Leaving behind new seeds It will return when the wind takes it home But for now it must drift on the breeze
(Chorus 2) For settled in shield and in vine Will lead to a tempest goodbye But it is foretold as the Wyvernwind blows The Storm will return from the sky
(Verse 3) A seed in the wind Destined to drift Bearing the weight of his name Will come to the truth At the core of his youth And lead the first light to the day He’ll lead the first light to the day - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

4/27Weve Earned This // Original Catradora (She-Ra) Song — MathematicPonyMathematicPony2022-02-03 | ::::: STREAMING & DOWNLOAD LINKS IN DESCRIPTION :::::
Hi friends!
Today I have for you another Catradora song – finally, I've released a Catradora song that isn't completely saturated with angst!!! This one is about them finally getting to enjoy relaxing post-war, from Catra’s perspective. It's based on an image I had of them visiting the horde again and climbing onto the roof together like when they were young, slow dancing in the sunset.
::::: LYRICS ::::: A long time ago you promised me a dance I shrugged it off when you held out your hand But I saw your smile and I knew you meant it Yet another promise and you kept it
We swayed on the rooftop, the memories all flooded back A clueless childhood when you were all I had We laughed and shoved, ran and sprinted tripping through the halls You held my hand when everyone was scared of my claws
We’ve earned this We’ve earned this
Not long ago I fought you hand to hand Fighting fights I didn’t understand I was so complacent and you were oh so patient I had demons and I couldn’t bear to face them
But now we’re home, our only job to rest our tired hearts No more fighting, no sacrificing everything to war Left in peace, finally our humble reward You’re with me, the very thing that I was fighting for
We’ve earned this We’ve earned this
We dance in the kitchen, reminiscing about our past And when I listen I revel in your tender laugh I’m forgiven, sometimes it’s hard to accept that fact But you are willing, and I can live with that
We’ve earned this We’ve earned this We’ve earned this We’ve earned this - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
3/27Dealbreaker (Redux) // Original MLP Song — MathematicPonyMathematicPony2022-01-21 | Hey friends!
Today I have a redux of one of my very early pony songs: Dealbreaker. This one means a lot to me, and I think it’s one of the best comparisons for how much I’ve grown as a musician since the original. I hope you enjoy it!
As usual, YouTube likes to compress audio badly unless you’re watching this video at a higher resolution, such as 1440p!
::::: LYRICS ::::: (Verse 1) I'm catching my breath Is this my final test? I'm at my wit's end, you've taken my friends My reason for living you now possess
You're staring me down The greed in your eyes wants the crown You smirk, say it's a fair trade All my power to keep my friends safe
I see it in their eyes They'd rather their demise Than risk the safety of the world But I couldn't live if I let them get hurt
(Prechorus 1) They tell me not to do it They say we'll get through it We'll find another way
But I can't take that risk and I hope for their forgiveness I turn and I say
(Chorus 1) I have to give it up My power isn't enough But my love for them is greater My magic can't be the dealbreaker
I know I'm defying the plan But please try to understand You saved me from myself I can't let this be farewell
They have to be safe first Nothing can be a dealbreaker
(Verse 2) I can see it in their eyes The light that shines right through Tells me that I'm right And that we'll be okay if I have you
It's a tense negotiation Save my friends but risk the nation But it's the only thing available I can't just let you take them
(Prechorus 2) They look at me with sadness Like I've lead the world to madness But I know I've made the right choice
But you've kept one more You ask me if I'm sure that I want the traitor But I tell you that he's a dealbreaker
(Chorus 2) I have to give it up My power isn't enough But my love for them is greater My magic can't be the deal breaker
I know I'm defying the plan But please try to understand You saved me from myself I can't let this be farewell
They have to be safe first Nothing can be a dealbreaker
(Bridge) This is it, I’ve seen the light One last fight, it’s down to this But in their eyes, I see their love And It's enough, we'll win this time
I feel it in my heart Letting go was the key to playing my part Loyalty bound to a shot in the dark Weight of the world but our shoulders are strong
And I know that this is Not what I was told by the princess But there’s more to this than the magic I carry inside
My friends must be safe first Nothing can be a dealbreaker
(Chorus 3) I had to give it up My power wasn't enough But our friendship is greater My magic was not the dealbreaker
With friends here by my side We all have the strength to fight They saved me from myself I swear this won't be farewell
They have to be safe first Nothing can be a dealbreaker - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
2/27Burden to Bear // Original She-Ra Song — MathematicPonyMathematicPony2021-12-30 | ::::: 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. Thanks so much for listening!
::::: LYRICS ::::: (Verse 1) I've lived a life of sacrifice What I want doesn't matter if no one makes it out alive
We approach the Heart Knowing this could go too far Everyone depends upon me This war will never end without me
You squeeze my hand I know you wouldn't understand So I haven't told you the risk That I don't think I'll live through this
But you're catching on The realization dawns You see I mean this to be goodbye But you grab my face and meet my eyes
(Chorus) You say that it's not fair I've already given so much This should be someone else's burden to bear
You say that you're not scared You'll stay no matter what This shouldn't be my burden to bear
(Verse 2) I've lived a life of sacrifice I've never dwelled on what I'd want if I made it out alive
That's not my place I wish that I could stay But it's not for me to decide This has to be goodbye
You squeeze my hand These words could be my last I tell you I'm ready, I'm not afraid But you think it shouldn't be this way
(Chorus) You say that it's not fair I've already given so much This should be someone else's burden to bear
You say that you're not scared You'll stay no matter what This shouldn't be my burden to bear
(Bridge) I want you to live, I want to stay I want to walk hand in hand with you I want to forgive mistakes that we've made I want to walk out of here with you
I want to live, I want to feel that it's okay for me to want I want to believe I'm worth what I need I want to give you all my love
I want you to live, I want to stay I want to walk hand in hand with you I want to forgive mistakes that we've made I want to walk out of here with you
I want to live, I want to feel that it's okay for me to want I want to believe I'm worth what I need I want to give you all my love
(Alt. Chorus) I know that it's not fair I've already given so much This shouldn't be my burden to bear
You pull my hand and I'm still there I'll stay no matter what This shouldn't be my burden to bear
(Outro) Burden to bear Burden to bear This shouldn't be my burden to bear Burden to bear Burden to bear This shouldn't be my burden to bear - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1/27Saving Face // Original She-Ra Song — MathematicPonyMathematicPony2021-09-15 | :::: STREAM & DOWNLOAD LINKS BELOW :::::
Hey friends! Today I have a sad Catra song for you. This is pretty much Catra projecting on Adora and feeling sorry for herself. I hope you enjoy it! If this makes you too sad, go listen to my other song Just This Once and stay tuned for my happy, wistful Catradora song that is coming out soon! :-)
::::: LYRICS ::::: You said you looked for me Went to meet me at the lake Like you would ever find me there It was less of a search You were saving face
You said you'd never let go Way before you could ever know I guess home was only just a place
So I put my heart somewhere you couldn't reach You would never find it there Twisting the knife while you were feigning peace
You said you wouldn't come home Even though you had to know How much you were killing me
So I dug my grave deeper than my pain Knowing you would find me there A desperate move, no more saving face (A shattered mask, wounded bitter space)
You chose your side of the war Forsaking all that we had before I hope it hurts to watch me fall from grace
I loved you first but I was second placeJust Waiting (Redux) // Original MLP Song (Re-Imagined) // MathematicPonyMathematicPony2021-06-12 | Hey, friends! This one is special to me.
6 years ago, June 3 2015 when I was barely 17 years old, I released my very first original pony song. 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. I hope you enjoy it!
::::: DOWNLOAD / STREAM ::::: Coming soon to a streaming service near you! You can download the MP3 for free at the Bandcamp link below :-)
(Entertainingly, both Apple and Spotify reformatted my title in different ways 😂 Apple’s resulted in the album name containing “redux” twice, hahahahahha. Amazing.)
::::: LYRICS ::::: (Verse 1) We're getting closer to finding our destinies I won't falter as long as they're with me The lessons we live will continue to give to everyone as we make history
So to my mom and my dad, I'll come back safe to my town and my life Just you wait I'll return safe and sound one day
(Chorus) But until then, I guess I'm just waiting just waiting I promise I'll always come home to you but right now I have something I need to do
So though I take more steps from Ponyville, I know I will, I promise I'll always come right back home but I have my friends, I swear I'm not alone
(Verse 2) We're getting closer to finding our destinies With laughter, we're moving on cheerfully So though we don't know, somehow we'll show it to everyone as we spread harmony
So to my dragon and my Princess, I'll come back safe I'll put my all in this I'll try not to make you wait
I'll return safe and sound one day to spread a message of harmony – everywhere and always
(Chorus 2) But until then, I guess I'm just waiting, just waiting I promise I'll always come home to you but right now I have something I need to do
So though I take more steps from Ponyville, I know I will, I promise I'll always come right back home but I have my friends, I swear I'm not alone
(Chorus 3) But until then, I guess I'm just waiting, just waiting I promise I'll always come home to you but right now I have something I need to do
So though I take more steps from Ponyville, I know we will, I promise I'll always come right back home but I have my friends, I swear I'm not alone
(Bridge/Verse 3) We're on the road to fulfilling our destinies With friendship, we'll overcome adversities So though we're not there, I swear we'll share our magic at every opportunity
So to my friends by my side, We'll do our best, We're along for this ride, but I passed that test
We're on a journey We're stuck here in transit But as we make our way farther Friendship is Magic
(Chorus 4) But until then, I guess I'm just waiting, just waiting I promise I'll always come home to you but right now I have something I need to do
So though I take more steps from Ponyville, I know I will, I promise I'll always come right back home but I have my friends, I swear I'm not alone ::::::::::
Oh, I see you've made it to the bottom of the description! You're persistent! :D For that, you get a hint – next up is... Dealbreaker!Death By A Thousand Cuts (Preview & Link) –Taylor Swift Cover by Elyse/MathMathematicPony2021-05-14 | FULL SONG: youtu.be/PDJ7x8y-yOQ
Hey 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!

:::::Lyrics::::: Let's go in the garden You'll find something waiting Right there where you left it Lying upside down When you finally find it You'll see how it's faded The underside is lighter When you turn it around
Everything stays Right where you left it Everything stays But it still changes Ever so slightly Daily and nightly In little ways When everything stays
Go down to the ocean The crystal tide is raising The water's gotten higher As the shore washes out Keep your eyes wide open Even when the sun is blazing The moon controls the tide It could cause you to drown
Everything stays Right where you left it Everything stays But it still changes Ever so slightly Daily and nightly In little ways When everything stays
Ever so slightly Daily and nightly In little ways When everything staysIm Just Your Problem (What Am I To You?) || Adventure Time Bubbline Mashup by MathematicPonyMathematicPony2021-01-04 | (EDIT: Now available on Spotify and Apple Music!) Hi, friends!
"What Was Missing" has always been one of my favorite episodes of AT, and produced some of my favorite AT songs. I was thinking about that, and realized that if you put What Am I To You? and I'm Just Your Problem together, you get a question and its answer! I made some slight lyrical adjustments to put it all from Marceline's perspective towards Princess Bubblegum. Hope you enjoy! Lyrics down below.

::::: LYRICS ::::: Everyone, Bubblegum, I'm so dumb, I should have just told you… …Now you’re gone, gone forever But I guess what does it matter when I just, I just had you there
No, no, oh Sorry I don't treat you like a goddess Is that what you want me to do? Sorry I don't treat you like you're perfect Like all your little loyal subjects do Sorry I'm not made of sugar Am I not sweet enough for you? Is that why you always avoid me? That must be such an inconvenience to you, well
(What am I to you?) I'm just your problem (Am I a joke, your knight, or your lover?) I'm just your problem (Do you look down on me 'cause I’m trouble?) No, it’s like I’m not even a person, am I, no (What am I to you?) I'm just your problem
Well, I shouldn't have to justify what I do I shouldn't have to prove anything to you I'm sorry that I exist, I forget what landed me on your blacklist But I shouldn't have to be the one that makes up with you

Bury you in the ground and drink the red from...Just This Once // ORIGINAL CATRADORA (She-Ra) Song — MathematicPonyMathematicPony2020-06-07 | 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. So huge thank you to creator Noelle Stevenson & the whole SPoP team.
Thank you all, and I hope you enjoy!

::::: LYRICS ::::: (Verse 1) I miss you more than I Will ever say out loud I thought maybe I’d get the chance But “I’m sorry” is all I have time to get out
I know that you’d come to save her Even though it’s a death wish I’m sorry that I wasn’t braver But I’ll gladly trade myself for you to live
(Chorus 1) Just this once, I’ll make the good choice I know we both won’t make it out alive You’re so stuck on self-sacrifice Just this once, I’ll be the good guy
Just this once, I’ll do what’s right If only this one good thing in my life You’re worth this one sacrifice Just this once I’ll be the good guy
(Verse 2) But images leak through the static Desperate blue sneaks through the green I swear I’m fighting it with everything I’ve got But when I fall you follow me
The next time I open my eyes You’re on your knees, I’m still alive But soon you’re asked again To carry the weight of the world to the end But you’re worth more than what you sacrifice
(Chorus 2) So just this once, make a different choice Someone else can save the world this time You’re so stuck on self-sacrifice Just this once, don’t be the good guy
But it’s you that I’ve always loved So I’m not going anywhere tonight I’m staying with you and we’ll play the good guy
(Bridge) I don’t want you to be noble You promised that you’d take me home, so Just this once Just this once
You’ve never once given up Not even when I’ve pulled away But now I’m here and it’s almost done So just this once Just this once You’ve never once given up Even from that very first day Edges rough, but it was always love So just this once Stay
(CHORUS 3) You turn to me, it’s finally over You can keep your promise after all We’re going home after all this time, Shocked that we both made it out alive
Now we get to tell a story That didn’t just end with a hero’s sacrifice It goes “just this once I’ll choose what I want” And “just this once I’ll do the right thing” And “just this once I’ll choose to save her” And “just this once I’ll sacrifice” “Just this once I’ll make my own choice” And “just this once I’ll be the good guy”The Magic of Friendship Grows (MLP Series Finale Cover) – MathematicPonyMathematicPony2019-09-20 | Hey, friends!

And I'm so grateful to this fanbase for being one of the most supportive, loving groups of people I've had the pleasure to exist among!

Where everybody wants me to be mom And everything I do, I do it wrong I'll sway them with a joke or with a song And maybe that'll help us get along
Familiar, why is this so familiar? Familiar, like something I used to do Familiar, that she used to throw a tantrum Insisting that "Hey, I'm a diamond too"
I bet she drove them crazy all the time They love her but they're leaving her behind With more important places they should be Than hanging out with someone just like me
Familiar, that's why it's so familiar Familiar, like someone I used to be Familiar, but this time I've had some practice At helping a struggling family

Hey guys, I’m back with another original song for you pony fans!
This was actually supposed to be posted yesterday to coincide with the 8 year anniversary of Friendship is Magic, but my senior project at college got in the way, haha. Hope you all enjoy this, since it’s for you guys. 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.

:::::LYRICS::::: (Intro) I wonder where we’re headed now when all that’s left are our memories of crowds hoping life won’t take us too far when we’ve spent so long cultivating our hearts
so when you look back at what we’ve left behind Remember how it felt for a thousand hearts to beat in time we traveled dirt, we paved our roads, but now it’s time to let this go just don’t forget how it felt when this was home
(Verse 1) you fulfilled a change in me that started a while ago eight years is a long long time so it’s hard to let this go life has a way of pushing us to newer things so I guess we just have to trust that we’ll have our memories
(Prechorus 1) The ride is nearly over but our hearts will always blend The ride is nearly over but feelings don’t forget
and if this fades from our heads at least you’re always in my chest the ride is slowing down but does it ever really end?
(Chorus 1) I’m coming over let’s catch up, reminisce if these days are really over there’s no harm in it
let’s head back again oh, just one more time you’ve been such good friends there’s no harm, we’ll be alright
(Verse 2) we came from irony but instead found in us honesty and honestly, this magic and laughter can kindly help us find the home we’ll never leave and even if we have space to breathe loyalty will generously point us to where we need to be
(Prechorus 2) the sun and moon and stars themselves will soon find that there’s nothing else that’s better than what magic can bring a heart and I can tell the people that stood up with me will help the world see differently just like the way it was always meant to be
(Chorus 2) I’m coming over let’s catch up, reminisce if these days are really over there’s no harm in it
let’s head back again oh, just one more time you’ve been such good friends there’s no harm, we’ll be alright
(Bridge) We’ll find a home again We’ll find new friends we’ll find a home again we’ll find new friends We’ll find a home again We’ll find new friends we’ll find a home again we’ll find
(because I’m a narcissist and have to throw back to my first pony song) but until then I guess I’m just waiting, just waiting I promise someday that I’ll come home but even so, I know I’m not alone so though we take more steps from where we came I guess I’ll wait hold on to the memories you have left I swear I won’t forget
(Chorus 3) I’m coming over let’s catch up, reminisce if these days are really over there’s no harm in it
let’s head back again oh, just one more time you’ve been such good friends there’s no harm, we’ll be alright
(Chorus 4) I’m coming over to check things off our list if these days are almost over let’s make the most of it
let’s head back again oh, just one more time you’ve been such good friends we’ve come too far to cry tonight wherever we are, we’ll be alright

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.

HEY GUYS! POKEMON GO IS FINALLY OUT!!!!!!! *dies*
Sure there are some server issues that I’ve unfortunately experienced, but I’m super hype and enjoying it a lot so far. At any rate, I ended up so interested in the philosophies of each of the teams that I ended up writing this concept of what a theme song might sound like, including little things the Pokemon anime themes always have (like stating the name of the show at some point in the theme.)
This song is, of course, about the philosophies of Team Instinct, Team Mystic, and Team Valor. I ended up joining Team Valor (PLS DON’T HATE ME), but I hope I did an okay job of representing each team based on the philosophy statements from each leader.
:::::LYRICS::::: [Intro] There’s nothing wrong with a little competition To figure out the secrets of who we are there’s nothing to lose when you know what you choose when it’s not about right or wrong
[Verse 1] Are you ready to feel inside of you what choice to make Understand when it’s just the perfect path to take Ready to give your all and find out who you could be
Can you follow your intuition on the battlefield Trust in the things you found analytically Take pride in knowing you gave your all to your team
[Chorus 1] there’s nothing wrong with a little competition bring your all to the battlefield the winner of it all will make our decision trust in the heart of your philosophy
[Verse 2] take courage in the face of foes you’ve got no chance to beat keep calm stay strong remember to think and when it comes down to it trust your gut
hold tight to the things you feel inside be confident in your training feel that fire keep a sharp eye and remember that you know your stuff
[Chorus 2] there’s nothing wrong with a little competition bring your all to the battlefield the winner of it all will make our decision trust in the heart of your philosophy
[bridge/solo]
[Chorus 3] there’s nothing wrong with a little competition bring your all to the battlefield the winner of it all will make our decision trust in the heart of your philosophy
[Alt. Chorus] get your gear start your journey remember that it’s all about learning you started this, remember that you know (Pokemon GO!) your philosophy
:::::::::: Hey, End-Of-Description readers! I hope you enjoyed that! I certainly enjoyed making it. I hope Nintendo doesn't sue me. During the uploading process of all my files for this video, I had this moment where I couldn't remember if I'd spelled 'philosophy' correctly in this whole thing. Yikes. Luckily I did, though.
This is definitely a different style than I usually do, but I hope you enjoyed it!
(Pokemon is owned by Nintendo, yo, not me. Pls don’t sue me.)Right Through Me – Original MLP song by MathematicPonyMathematicPony2016-04-12 | 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!

:::::::::: LYRICS :::::::::: (Verse 1) you’re too unpredictable, just parts of you I sit and stare just basking in the thought of you and I can see I’ve caught the corner of your eye And I can tell I’ve been caught in a silent lie and maybe I've tried to breach the subject but you'd hear nothing of it but I know I’m in the back of your mind and I hope it’s just a matter of time
(Prechorus 1) Why won't you just tell me?
(Chorus 1) am I gonna waste away letting you set the date and the time don’t know why you’re away when you should’ve been mine are we gonna pull through when you don’t have it easy you see right through me
why should I expect any less from someone like you you’re too reckless and I should’ve been through with this 'cause we don’t have it easy you see right through me
(Verse 2) You’re too clued in to this, you know too much it’s rough when you’re dealing with these parts of love and I can see you’re caught in between the things you know and things you feel and maybe I’ve tried to bring up with you you’d hear nothing of it still so I guess you don’t know what to do but I hope you know it’s hard on me too
(Prechorus 2) Why won't you say something?
(Chorus 2) am I gonna waste away letting you set the date and the time don’t know why you’re away when you should’ve been mine are we gonna pull through when you don’t have it easy you see right through me
why should I expect any less from someone like you you’re too reckless and I should’ve been through with this cause you don’t have it easy you see right through me
(Bridge) this silence is grating on my nerves I don't know what you hear or what you heard but I hope you find an end
because life, it gets a little hard when things don't ever get too far and when you don't ever breach the subject
I don't know what you're feeling why won't you say something?
(Chorus 3) am I gonna waste away while you figure out what you want don't know why this time feels like it just stopped are we gonna pull through when you don't have it easy you see right through me
Why should I expect any less from the thoughts in my head tear me up, pull me down anything that's not this and we– no we don't have it easy no we don't have it easy
(Chorus 4) am I gonna waste away letting you set the date and the time don’t know why you’re away when you should’ve been mine are we gonna pull through when you don’t have it easy you see right through me
why should I expect any less from someone like you you’re too reckless and I should’ve been through with this cause we don’t have it easy you see right through me ::::::::::::::::::::
HELLO, READERS! 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. :/MEGAHEART UNDERTALE x Kingdom Hearts MASH-UP // MathematicPonyMathematicPony2016-01-09 | Hey, guys! Today I'm here with something a bit different from my usual. A mash-up!

::VERSE 1:: My dear, my dear, though I would wait, For you to hear my plea to fate Dear, my dear, I cannot say my heart should be the one you sway
My love, my love, though I would fear you cannot understand this, here My love, my love, on bended knee I'd beg you; Don't remember me.
::CHORUS 1:: [It's a lonely winter] and I'm sad to see you go But I can't have you here now You have to find another home
[It's a lonely winter] And snow falls just like my hopes but I can't have you around when all I do is hurt you more
::VERSE 2:: my heart, my heart is dying fast I know right now I cannot last I know, I know you have to leave You shouldn't have to see
my soul, my soul is tearing up everything that looks like love so dear my dear, what can I say. to make you walk away
::CHORUS 2:: [It's a lonely winter] and I'm sad to see you go But I can't have you here now You have to find another home
[It's a lonely winter] And snow falls just like my hopes but I can't have you around when all I do is hurt you more
::BRIDGE:: The era of a bygone time Our souls harmonized and you were mine When snow was melted by our fire and my heart had not yet died
but maybe now you can see why I beg you won't remember me I'm becoming the monster I feel Taking over everything
::CHORUS 3:: It's a lonely winter and I'm sad to see you go But I can't have you here now You have to find another home
It's a lonely winter and snow falls just like my hopes but I can't have you around when all I do is hurt you more
::CHORUS 4:: It's a lonely winter and I am almost gone Run while you can run from my arms
It's a lonely winter and it's almost time You have to leave before she has my mind
::CHORUS 5:: It's a lonely winter and it's too late we can't stop it now it's written in fate
[It's a lonely winter] and I know that I lose but what could I do I've lost me I've lost you

:::::LYRICS::::: VERSE 1: I’ve seen the worlds I know where it leads When you’re not here I know where we’d be
I’ve seen the hurt and I know what it means it can only be worse when you’re not with me
I’ve seen the sky darkened and black no more light don’t know where it’s at
I’ve seen the wars the suffering All because you’re not with me
PRECHORUS: While dreams aren't always made to come true And while love you want will often fall through The lessons I've learned with you here by my side Are the things that kept me in line
CHORUS: So, walk with me through the pieces of my life You and me walking forward side by side History will never be the same But it was meant to be without you there is no me because it was destiny
VERSE 2: I’ve seen the pain when a friend is gone you’re left wondering what you did wrong
I’ve seen the anger the rage when they leave when they should have stayed
I’ve seen the torment people go through When what they love most is what they lose
I’ve seen it all I know it’s true and what I know is I need you
PRECHORUS 2: While dreams aren't always made to come true And while love you want will often fall through The lessons I've learned with you here by my side Are the things that kept me in line
CHORUS 2: So, walk with me through the pieces of my life You and me walking forward side by side History will never be the same But it was meant to be without you there is no me because it was destiny
Bridge: And I don’t really know the best way to go about helping the ones that have had to live without but all I know is that if we try we can help them learn how to fight
see, we don’t really care where you’ve been we don’t care about your past we just let you in if you want it you can have it if there’s hurt we’ll work past it there’s no such thing as grudges when you’re friends
and we don’t really care what you’ve done there’s good inside everyone and sometimes that someone just needs a little bit of help and love to work past the hate and find out what
they were supposed to be to find their destinies
CHORUS 3: So come with me as we find out what’s in store You and me we’ll find something more History will be forever changed but it was meant to be We were supposed to meet because it was
CHORUS 4: Walk with me through the pieces of my life You and me walking forward side by side History will never be the same Because it was meant to be without you there is no me without you there’s no harmony because it was destiny

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. Who does this make YOU think of?

Everything has changed and we'll never return to the vagueness and the lies no more games it's unspoken but I see something in your eyes are you gonna push away or pull me in it'd be nice if you could say but until tomorrow I guess I'll have to wait
Verse 2: so we're back on the floor eying each other and wondering if there's more But we both know that love can be bitter and love can let go
We could make the most of the days and the nights and the stars in your eyes but we both know that there's a sunset to every sunrise

Bridge: Maybe things will end tomorrow and I can't promise it'll all be fine but we both know there was no place left to go either we'd part ways, or you'd be mine

Long time no see!
So, this obviously has nothing to do with My Little Pony, but I hope whoever listens to it enjoys it regardless!
This is about a character from the webseries, Carmilla. This is from the point of view of the character, Danny, and what she might have felt while dying in Laura's arms.
Thanks for listening, and if you're new to my channel because this is for your fandom, welcome!

Life is cruel But in your arms I won’t need it, will I?

Remember what I said Just the other day I’m not afraid I’m not afraid

That on the eve of us going off to war When I said I had a cause to fight for I knew you were why I draw my sword

Hey guys! This time around, I've got a Rainbow Dash song for you all to take a listen to.
This song is about Rainbow Dash's personal struggle with everyone doubting her dream of becoming a Wonderbolt, immediately dismissing her, saying she's too lazy or too unmotivated. They tell her – "helpfully" – that she should quit and find a new, more reasonable dream.
But she doesn't need that. --Roll credits--

:::::LYRICS::::: VERSE 1: The things you call reality checks To pull me down and try to win Are nothing more than things you've said For me to prove wrong in the end
And I don't care what you have to say If it doesn't matter anyway
PRECHORUS 1: So I'll just keep going forward and I know that
CHORUS 1: I don't need this And you don't need to say That the things I feel Aren't worth even second place
So I know that in the end you'll realize And I know that when I succeed you'll open your eyes
VERSE 2: The way your smile speaks Blares out loud that you're better than me And every time I have to leave I can tell you think you've won something
But I don't care, even so, Even if you think it's hopeless
PRECHORUS 2: So I'll just keep going forward and I know that
CHORUS 2: I don't need this And you don't need to say That the things I feel Aren't worth even second place
So I know that in the end you'll realize And I know that when I succeed you'll open your eyes
BRIDGE: I live by soaring And even if you think you're helping I can't fly when I know that I am weighed down by a broken wing
Even if you tell me that I'm wrong I know that sometimes you have to fall
CHORUS 3: I don't need this And you don't need to act As if the things I think Aren't worth a second glance
And I know that in the end you'll realize I give my all and I know that one day my dreams will be mine
So I don't need this ::::::::::
HI, END OF DESCRIPTION READERS! :D I hope you liked this! I'm hoping I'll be able to go to EQLA, which is in a few days, because I'm pretty local, but I have to make sure school is all cool and stuff before that. Any of you going? I might see you there!

Hey guys! Been a little while, but I've got a new original song for you!
This song is about what would have been going through Twilight's head while fighting Tirek, when she was forced to make the impossible decision of choosing between following the plan given to her by Celestia, or risking the wellbeing of the entire world to save her friends.
Hope you enjoy it!

:::::LYRICS::::: ::VERSE 1:: I'm catching my breath Is this my final test? I'm at my wit's end, you've taken my friends My reason for living you now possess
You're staring me down The greed in your eyes wants the crown You smirk, say it's a fair trade All my power, to keep my friends safe
I see it in their eyes They'd rather their demise Than risk the safety of the world But I couldn't live if I let them get hurt
::PRECHORUS 1:: They tell me not to do it They say we'll get through it We'll find another way
But I can't take that risk and I hope for their forgiveness I turn and I say
::CHORUS 1:: I have to give it up My power isn't enough But my love for them is greater So my magic can't be the deal breaker
I know I'm defying the plan But please try to understand You saved me from myself I can't let this be farewell
They have to be safe first Nothing can be a deal breaker
::VERSE 2:: I can see it in their eyes The light that shines right through Tells me that I'm right And that we'll be okay if I have you
It's a tense negotiation Save my friends but risk the nation But it's the only thing available I can't just let you take them
::PRECHORUS 2:: They look at me with sadness Like I've lead the world to blackness But I know I've made the right choice
But you've kept one more You ask me if I'm sure that I want the traitor but I tell you that he's a dealbreaker
::CHORUS 2:: I have to give it up My power isn't enough But my love for them is greater So my magic can't be the deal breaker
I know I'm defying the plan But please try to understand You saved me from myself I can't let this be farewell
They have to be safe first Nothing can be a deal breaker
::BRIDGE:: This is it I've seen the light One last fight It's down to this
But in their eyes I see their love and It's enough We'll win this time
I feel it in my heart Letting go was the key to playing my part And I know what we need, to light up this dark This is what we needed to carry us far
and I know that this is not what I was told by the princess but love and hate and dark and light are far more than the magic I carry inside
my friends must be safe first Nothing can be a dealbreaker
::CHORUS 3:: I had to give it up My own power wasn't enough But our friendship is greater So my magic was not the deal breaker
With friends here by my side We all have the strength to fight They saved me from myself I swear this won't be farewell
They have to be safe first Nothing could be a deal breaker ::::::::::
Hello, end of description readers!
I hope you enjoyed that! I've been working on it for a while, but just got it finished today, after a burst of energy aforded to me by COMPLETELY rearranging my room. My brain feels kind of stale once in a while until I have a change of scenery – I like this layout far better, also, so it's pretty great. More efficient.
Anyway, thanks for listening!

Hey guys! I've been gone for a while, but I'm back with another original song for all of you!
This particular one is about, perhaps, some of the hesitation, hope, and confusion associated with Spike and Rarity eventually beginning to possibly explore their feelings for each other, unsure of what the future will bring.

:::::LYRICS::::: (VERSE 1) I've tried so hard But I could never get that far I'm at a loss can't figure out, don't know how, is it worth the cost
if you're what I see if you're what I dream I'm frozen here Can't say what now, I don't know how, it's frozen fear
(PRECHORUS 1) Is it possible, in what I see that it was always right in front of me?
(CHORUS 1) So is this what we're trying for will we finally start to see, will we finally open that door
Is this what we want, I'm not quite sure in the end, can we defend the things we fight for? I can't quite let go of hoping you would hold me close
Will we finally see where this leads? Will we open that door, will we find you and me?
(VERSE 2) So if it's true I have to see you Now that it might be what we need, this you and me, it's just in sight
You are what I want And I never really forgot you and I One of these days, with a searching gaze, drinking tea at night
(PRECHORUS 2) Now it's possible, finally For this to be what completed me
(CHORUS 2) So is this what we're trying for will it finally be you and me, will we finally open that door
Is this what we want, I hope we're sure in the end, can we defend the things we fight for?
I can't quite let go of hoping you would hold me close
Will we finally see where this leads? Will we open that door, will we find you and me?
(BRIDGE) Looking through the keyhole Unprepared for what we'll see Hoping it'll unlock, time's stopped On the other side will we find you and me?
We'll try to get inside And hope we have the key What will we find That makes us breathe breathlessly?
(CHORUS 3) Is this what we're trying for? will there finally be you and me, will we finally open that door?
Is this what we want, I hope we're sure in the end, can we defend the things we fight for?

Um, holy crap? YouTube just gave me an error and said that brackets aren't allowed in my description. That is horrible. (greaterthan):l Brackets (greaterthan) Parentheses EVERY TIME. Stop being a buttock, YouTube. :l
I REPLACED ALL THE BRACKETS AND IT'S STILL GIVING ME AN ERROR. Well, eventually you'll all see this and know my pain. xD There are no brackets, and I don't know why it doesn't like me.
I literally just re-pasted the entire description paragraph by paragraph. The lyrics stopped giving me the bracket error, and then THIS bit was giving me errors. It ended up being the (greaterthan) sign. :l How was I supposed to know that counted as a bracket?
ANYWAY. xD Hope you enjoyed the song!

Hey, folks! Got another original for you – based off of today's episode! Just myself and my guitar, this time, which isn't a common thing for my music. Hope you enjoy it!
This one is from the point of view of Luna, and really, it's pretty self explanitory. xD Again, it's based on today's episode, "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?"

:::::LYRICS::::: (VERSE 1): Guilt Troubled memories I built myself the power to destroy me
Nightly I tried to amend For the sake of my friends Lest I fall again
but
(PRECHORUS): I hadn't realized I'd already won the fight I had already seen the light And despite it all, you convinced me I was alright
(CHORUS 1): You helped me escape this nightmare You were there To prove to me I could believe that what's done is done and I could dare
to set free that part of me That knew I was over going nowhere; the time has come for me to see
The past is behind me And I no longer need reminding
(VERSE 2): I tried To never let myself forget I cried to make sure I would never let
This Take over once more It's what all of this was for but it tore at me
(PRECHORUS 2): I hadn't realized I'd already won the fight I had already seen the light And despite it all, I could fly
(CHORUS 2): You helped me escape this nightmare You were there To prove to me I could believe that what's done is done and I could dare
to set free that part of me That knew I was over going nowhere; the time has come for me to see
The past is behind me And I no longer need reminding
(BRIDGE): This blackened fragment of my past it lasted The darkened pieces of my dreams escaped me
But you were there just like you always were Every moment, every second, every turn
(CHORUS 3): You helped me escape this nightmare You were there To prove to me I could believe that what's done is done and I could dare
to break free that part of me That knew I was done trying to outrun, what came undone What followed me
The past is behind me I no longer need–
(CHORUS 4): You helped me escape this nightmare You were there To prove to me I could believe that what's done is done and I could dare

The inspiration for this song is basically the idea that perhaps, instead of just a single battle between just Celestia and Nightmare Moon/Luna, they each had entire armies. This is a duet between the armies of both; it shows both armies basically giving their own a pep talk before they go to war, both believing they are the morally correct side.

LA: Prove we can withstand the day
CA: By force we will regain the throne Our princess' sun shall stand alone We march to conquer; none shall stop her Spreading her safe light and hope
LA: With wit we shall outsmart them all The moon will stand, no longer fall The people shall with welcome arms And open hearts Rejoice in quiet shadow's call

She'll fight for us In her we trust We will draw blood The time draws near Our swords will clash This age will pass No more war no more fear
CA: Though she will try to strike us down we won't give up the crown
LA: They must see what they've done see that we've been shunned We must claim what is our's now
CA: Onward we will defend the sun We will no longer let them run Defeat the nightmare; we will fight The age of dawn has begun
LA: Our pain now they'll understand We've been forced to adapt We've been afraid for far too long They've been so wrong Now we must go on, advance
CA: We are ready to die We are ready to fight for our princess's life Marching onward, Fight for her honor Stand firm for the Sun in the sky

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!)

::::: LYRICS ::::: (Verse 1) Every single moment You have only ever showed that you're ready you're ready to go on on
Every single minute You've only ever risen to the occasion and you've waited for so long long
(Prechorus 1) So, I hope that as you walk as you trot into the future You remember how you got there You remember what you learned
You live a life to teach us to reach out and free us From our misconceptions You take a stand and lead us
(Chorus 1) I'm not quite sure you've realized That every morning with every sunrise you've been there teaching me as I taught you you
I'm not quite sure you see that with every lesson you had you've taught me in return you've shared what you've learned
and I can say that I now understand
that you're ready at last
(Verse 2) Every single second No matter how pressing You've learned from the mistakes you made made
Every single challenge You've only ever mastered And you're ready no more waiting waiting
(Prechorus 2) So, I hope that as you run you see the sun, you see your future You remember how its light you always made brighter
You must live a life to teach us to reach out and free us From our own mistakes You take a stand and lead us
(Chorus 2) I'm not quite sure you've realized That every morning with every sunrise you've been there teaching me as I taught you
I'm not quite sure you see that with every lesson you had you've taught me in return you've shared what you've learned
and I can say that I now understand
that you're ready at last
(Bridge [from Twilight's friends]) As you've walked The love you've brought has fixed so many bridges Has built so many friendships
As you've shared That you care You've found the light within us
hope has spread through the land and I finally understand That you're ready ready at last
(Interlude) I'm not quite sure you've realized that what I see when I close my eyes is everything you've changed Sharing your ways
And I can proudly say that you've found your place place
(Chorus 3) I'm not quite sure you've realized with every sunset with every sunrise you've been there teaching me as I taught you you
I'm not quite sure you see that with every lesson you had you've taught me in return you've shared what you've learned
and I can say that I now understand
that you're ready at last

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.

::::LYRICS:::: (Verse 1) Hearts stay broken, wounds won't mend My neglect lost my only friend Shadows cast I thought wouldn't last But I realized at the end
(Prechorus 1) That the time I spent without you here was worthless Oh, If I'd just tried to face my fears, maybe this would hurt less
(Chorus 1) But now, for a thousand years, I'll be dealing with results of my actions – my actions If I'd just looked beyond myself I'd avoid all of this backlash, this backlash
If I'd just tried once in my life to help you through the nightmare, the nightmare maybe I'd still hear your laugh maybe I'd avoid this backlash this backlash
(Verse 2) Dark times here I hope you'll be back soon I can barely stand to see the moon Outward peace is what my people see but my throne is my own tomb
(Prechorus 2): Because the time I spent without you here was worthless oh, If I'd just tried to face my fears maybe this would hurt less
(Chorus 2) But now for a thousand years I'll be dealing with results of my actions – my actions If I'd just looked beyond myself I'd avoid all of this backlash – this backlash
If I'd just tried once in my life to help you through the nightmare – the nightmare maybe I'd still hear your laugh maybe I'd avoid this backlash this backlash
(Bridge) My only hope rests in finding someone to pick me up where I fell down Because through the smoke She'll unite the ones we need for you to be free from nightmare's crown
(Chorus 3) But now for a thousand years I'll be dealing with results of my actions – my actions If I'd just looked beyond myself I'd avoid all of this backlash – this backlash
If I'd just tried once in my life to help you through the nightmare – the nightmare maybe I'd still hear your laugh maybe I'd avoid this backlash this backlash

HI KELCIJust Waiting – Original MLP Song by MathematicPonyMathematicPony2015-06-03 | [UPDATE: Now available on iTunes and Spotify in an album with my entire pony music discography to date! Scroll down for details.]
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.)

(Verse 1) We're getting closer to finding our destinies I won't falter as long as they're with me The lessons we live will continue to give to everyone as we make history
So to my mom and my dad, I'll come back safe to my town and my life Just you wait I'll return safe and sound one day
(Chorus) But until then, I guess I'm just waiting just waiting I promise I'll always come home to you but right now I have something I need to do
So though I take more steps from Ponyville, I know I will, I promise I'll always come right back home but I have my friends, I swear I'm not alone
(Verse 2) We're getting closer to finding our destinies With laughter, we're moving on cheerfully So though we don't know, somehow we'll show it to everyone as we spread harmony
So to my dragon and my Princess, I'll come back safe I'll put my all in this I'll try not to make you wait
I'll return safe and sound one day to spread a message of harmony – everywhere and always
(Chorus 2) But until then, I guess I'm just waiting, just waiting I promise I'll always come home to you but right now I have something I need to do
So though I take more steps from Ponyville, I know I will, I promise I'll always come right back home but I have my friends, I swear I'm not alone
(Chorus 3) But until then, I guess I'm just waiting, just waiting I promise I'll always come home to you but right now I have something I need to do
So though I take more steps from Ponyville, I know we will, I promise I'll always come right back home but I have my friends, I swear I'm not alone
(Bridge/Verse 3) We're on the road to fulfilling our destinies With friendship, we'll overcome adversities So though we're not there, I swear we'll share our magic at every opportunity
So to my friends by my side, We'll do our best, We're along for this ride, but I passed that test
We're on a journey We're stuck here in transit But as we make our way farther Friendship is Magic
(Chorus 4) But until then, I guess I'm just waiting, just waiting I promise I'll always come home to you but right now I have something I need to do
So though I take more steps from Ponyville, I know I will, I promise I'll always come right back home but I have my friends, I swear I'm not alone

To the REALLY determined description readers: So, this song was really fun to work on! 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 KELCIYoull Play Your Part (MLP Vocal + Piano Cover)MathematicPony2014-09-04 | [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.
