[Offishal93]

nicee!!! :-D

[traehnoil]

PMV and fanfics are playing on my head. All good.

[zeron1919]

Guess who has a new song on their ipod~ :D

[Boydogblues]

@zeron1919 i doo@@@ and i plan on blasting it with the rest of the brony music in my car with alpine deck and 12inch sub and 6 treble speakers =p

[CityGirl2699]

Dude, stop making me overflow my iPod with awesome pony music.

[iHate37]

Mando, out of curiousity, do you have a version of this track with--perhaps higher quality guitar?

I love it, but the low quality of the guitar kills the rest of the song. ;~;

[Catmourne]

Amazing song. I love it. It also happens to sound exactly like Yellow Card o.o

[LizaKimoto]

This song reminds me a bit of Harry Potter. Great song.

[dialgaisawesome]

Awesome! :D

[semaj539]

I feel like I'm stealing from you every time I DL one of your free songs :/

I would happily spend $30 at lest for a Mando Pony Album

[dinnerdawinner]

I love this song!

[Zergonfilo]

Ladies and Gentlemen....the epic

[FlutterRageBrony]

anyone know where to find tabs for this song?

[crayonfish2]

@thebuilder511 yeah I think your right my fellow brony ether that or a sunset

[thebuilder511]

@crayonfish2 Yes indeed my fellow brony. /)^(\

[thebuilder511]

IN THE PICTURE SHE HAS HER CUTIE MARK O_o (its a rising sun as far as i can tell.) Very good music.

[Aussiegirl956]

Okay....Song is awesome...Love the way it sounds!! X3

[tanksmallcape]

This is amazing dude, i can barely fathom it. I was always doubtful about brony music, but this changed my entire view. Amazing job.

[missCommentLuvver]

I'M IN LOVE IN THIS SONG!! <333 ;__;

[dragjamon]

I really, REALLY, like this.

[MattyReverse]

I loved but some times the guitar/bass is louder than the vocals and I need the lyrics to understand. But it's going to my iPod for sure.

[MsSkodge]

This made Scootaloo best pony.

[SonOfTheNorthe]

@MsSkodge Have you listened to MicTheMicrophone's "Beyond Her Tomb?"

That song makes Carrot Top best pony.

But yes, this song made Scoots pretty epic.

[AnimalAnimeFan]

@SonOfTheNorthe "Beyond Her Tomb"? never heard of it, but the first thing that came to mind was a theme song for Daring Do :)

[RisingChaosWriting]

@AnimalAnimeFan a rap to a very nice electronic song from WoodenToaster, then remixed by TheLivingTombstone, then Mic the Microphone rapped to it, creating beyond her Tomb.

[AnimalAnimeFan]

@RisingChaosWriting ah i see 

[DanM25456]

@MsSkodge Ever since i heard this "Scootaloo is best pony" has been my catchphrase.

[TheJunkSynchron]

@MsSkodge Scootaloo has always need best pony~

[DarkPlaidBlade]

Look here our three little ponies ready to sing for this crowd. Listen up because heres our story. I'm going to sing it VERY LOUD

[hmnhntr]

Listening to a lot of your music makes me have just one question: what's the inspiration for the semi-sadder tones of these songs?

[rareseabear1]

@mandopony what fx are you using for the intro, just curious

[dryice100]

good tune, but aye first minute could be cut in half then roll with the rest of the tune.

[masterblade713]

enter the herd by listening to this song, delve deeper into brony music, find the living tombstone mic and glaze.. come back to this song. still love it though now i think it could go with a cover by one of them >=D that would be awesome, dont get me wrong i love mando, just gotten used to faster pace songs.

[jesseborn42]

the title reminds me of boxer from animal farm's motto "i will work harder"

[seabassman9]

LOLZ try and listen to this while reading rainbow factory

[AgentPinkiePie]

DO U GUYS HAV A CD FOR THIS?!?! I NEEDA RECORD TO SLIP IT INTO THE PLAYER DURING CLASS AND "ACCIDENTALLY" HIT THE PLAY BUTTON ON 100% VOLUME!!

[Th3UnluckyGam3r]

@AgentPinkiePie Well what you could do is download the song, burn it to a disc, and play it that way...

[AgentPinkiePie]

must learn for guitar piano or whatever!!!

[AgentPinkiePie]

This is my new favorite song, wait no, music, wait no, my favorite thing of all time now!!!!! i play it to sleep, at chinese school, with my tutor, recommend it to whoevevr crosses my path, art class, and even regular school

[hmnhntr]

Something I slightly don't understand (its not rally a criticism, just more of a confusion) is the sadder tone of these songs; so beautiful in a strange way.

[jerrek500]

also for about 3 weeks ive been wondering why the beggening sounds so familier it sounds just like we are angels(anarchy)detroit rock city

[jerrek500]

all these songs are incredible they are all profesional and amazing ive been listing to this loyatly and we make a perfect team all day instant fav like and subscribe for all of them very nice

[CurtisAlfeld]

I've been listening to this ALL DAY!

[Mehh32980]

<3 + :,D

[dotGamer1667]

Just increase the vocals a tad bit. But, awesome song nonetheless! You are truly amazing!

[Kevfactor]

those having trouble with quality, turn it to 720p

stil a few hisses but its much better. :)

[29mech]

srry awsome song mando pony (forgot the m)

[29mech]

can someone make a zelda skyward sword video of this that would make the song about 20% cooler

and awesoe song mandopony

[crazykillaMMO]

hey there,

Do you have a less edited version of this?

like the demo version of a long way from equestria

[CurtisAlfeld]

I can relate to this song.

[StrayLoneWolf]

... This may have been meant for Scootaloo, but there are many others like her out there who have just wanted to soar far higher than anyone ever told them they could. ... I know how this feels.

I'm still rivaling with "my own wings" and trying to pin down the finer points of my talent genre, but I'm getting there and I know all those others like me will as well. ... Song's like this only help in that they remind us.

Great song. Downloading and Subscribing just for that alone.

[husky136]

this song is amazing you all are .............. no words can i express.

[mykaas]

you just earned a subscriber!

[Kh2luver00]

i WAS in the country songs section of youtube....

[legomaster00156]

@Kh2luver00: And now you're in a place with even BETTER music! Aren't you happy? :D

[EVIL1357]

When I'm on a minor work out I'll listen to music like Mastadon, Breaking Benjamin or Redlight Kings.

When on my more difficult workouts I listen to pony music, this is the only genre of music I know of that can make me tear up and push me past my limits.

I know what I'm going to listen to on my run today!

[SonicRainboomBrony]

This song is Awesome!

[bigdipper117]

I am shocked and appalled that I'm just learning about you now, your work is amazing

[stankyboy55]

this rocks just about everypony has a theme

[Ponyship]

I love the part at 3:50, so awesome! /)^3^(\

AcoustiMandoBrony is the best thing ever!

[perryrhodan89]

Why the fuck are Owl-Videos under your related Videos o.o not only on dies one

[EuroMIX2]

Unpopular critic hat on:

1) The piece is nice, though I can't help but feel that the beginning is a little long. Could maybe do with a "radio edit" of about 4 minutes?

2) Parts like 1:28 to 1:49 sound a bit messy vocally, especially towards the end. Also the vocals getting drowned out by the music doesn't help.

3) I feel that "Some people call me a chicken" would fit better as "call me chicken". I get the reference though.

Please don't hate me; just respond and get a ton of thumbs up, lol.

[MandoPony]

@EuroMIX2 Hey, constructive criticism is always welcomed! You didn't flame, you brought up legitimate points. If someone gets upset about that, that's THEIR problem not yours.

Anyways, my response would be this: 1) Personally, (and it's just my opinion!) I'm a fan of long epic songs, like ones you'll find in classic rock--but AcousticBrony wrote this one so I can't respond to that so much. 2) Same issue--it was sung by Jimmy in AB, so I can't respond. 3) Not sure what you mean?

[EuroMIX2]

@MandoPony

1) I suppose I feel like the song would suit a shorter radio style more, but that's just me. I actually like the idea of two versions, this one and one styled for radio play. I suppose I'm just approaching it from real-life terms. :P

2) I suppose there's not much to say here then.

3) I mean that the line feels squashed and might be better without the "a" so there's one less syllable i.e. "Some people call me chicken"; it could also give it a clever double-meaning.

[BochTheFox]

@MandoPony I think they mean the lyric should be "Some people call me chicken", aka, he's not getting the reference.

[bvzaragoza]

@MandoPony For #3, I think he is trying to say that "Some people call me chicken" sounds more natural because it sounds more informal (does not have an 'a' in it) and that the sentence might sound smoother without it. On the other hand though, I feel like keeping the 'a' is important too because it helps define the word chicken afterward; if it's removed, it'll sound like they're being described LIKE a chicken instead of actually BEING a chicken.

[Snowodin]

@MandoPony I THINK he's saying that instead of, "Some people call me a chicken," it would fit better as, "Some people call me chicken."

In other words, drop the word 'a'.

[dragenfire68]

@MandoPony you are epic.

[dragenfire68]

@MandoPony nice wing picture btw

[Ladonaru]

@EuroMIX2 I do not see a reason for others to be mad at you for being a critic, you were constructive, and it seemed you were trying to help them better themselves.

[AMAZINGDOG402]

@EuroMIX2 "Too long of an intro." Speak to Dream Theater and ask them what they think about "long intros". Or just listen to "Octavarium", it has a 5:00 solo and the song is 24 minutes long. Anyways, like AB said, you've got valid points and all. I just had to put that in there.

[AMAZINGDOG402]

@AMAZINGDOG402 *Mandopony, dammit. I hate when I think I'm on AB's videos when I'm on Mando's.

[EuroMIX2]

@AMAZINGDOG402

It's really hard to place my issue without sounding offensive; it's more a personal preference. I can't comment on Dream Theater specifically because I haven't heard one of their songs in ages. Think I Would Do Anything For Love album (~12 minutes) vs video (~8 minutes); I prefer the latter because there are less bike sounds at the beginning. I have the same issue with dance remixes. Also, I was asking for a radio edit alongside the original, not as a replacement.

[galacticrenegade]

@EuroMIX2 ... "I'd do anything for love" is not a fair comparison, its by far longer and the music progresses at a far too slower rate, and when The Loaf gets into it he says the same thing ALOT. One minute intro is about where you need it to be and its not too slow at progressing. Saying that its personal preference, and i wouldn't be against a radio edit, but radio edit or another colab, if mando gave us the option, I'd say colab

This thing to me is like Blink 182's best song, but betterer.

[EuroMIX2]

@galacticrenegade

I was comparing how the video version cuts down the album version without ruining the song; it's a nice compromise between the album and radio edit. As I said, I can't think of the best way to word it without sounding offensive. I'm expressing personal opinion while trying to be constructive and I appreciate that at least 42 people seem to understand that. I can't help but feel that sometimes songs need an edit to capture the best of the piece.

[galacticrenegade]

@EuroMIX2 I know, all i'm saying is that i respectfully disagree. and those 42 people that agree with you are the reason you're copping so much shit XD

[EuroMIX2]

@galacticrenegade

The problem is we are discussing musical preference, which is pure opinion, on something theoretical, also I don't see it as "copping shit" since most people have been fairly respectful. People simply disagreeing is the least of my worries, in fact I'd be surprised if people didn't. My critique comes from a place of love... and tolerance. >_>

[galacticrenegade]

@EuroMIX2 ... i see us going down the path of semantics here, I'm going leave it as this is not the place for it.

All i wanted to say was MandoPony and AcousticBrony did an awesome job as is and i would like to have their children.

[EuroMIX2]

@galacticrenegade

I prefer to offer them critique since I feel it would benefit them more if they want to improve as artists. I feel that responses beyond this point would be futile as it is obvious that your comments are directed more towards them at this point than me. I may not be showering them with praise, but what I say comes from a place of caring and that's all that really matters.

[13mungoman13]

@EuroMIX2 "Unpopular critic hat"? Is... is that a Nostalgia Critic reference? 'cause, the last time I checked, the Nostalgia Critic wasn't unpopular.

[EuroMIX2]

@13mungoman13

Nope; made it up. Had no idea that the Nostalgia Critic had used it as well.

[13mungoman13]

@EuroMIX2 He didn't. I just thought you were making fun of him.

[EuroMIX2]

@13mungoman13

No. Why would I do that?

[13mungoman13]

@EuroMIX2 Well you said "unpopular critic hat". I just thought that, since he has a lot of haters you were one of them.

But then I remembered that you're a brony and all was good ;D

[EuroMIX2]

@13mungoman13

I used that term because I wasn't showering them with praise, but trying to offer some useful critique which could potentially result in backlash from those who might take it the wrong way. Hence being an unpopular critic in the form of... wearing a hat.

I wear a critic hat now, critic hats are 20% cooler.

[13mungoman13]

@EuroMIX2 Exactly ;)

[darkironyoshi]

@EuroMIX2 Really? I thought a fez was cooler. Hm oh well to each their own I say :P

[EuroMIX2]

@darkironyoshi

Fez's are cool, but critic hats are 20% cooler. :P

[darkironyoshi]

@EuroMIX2 Meh I prefer Fedoras anywayz. :P

[EuroMIX2]

@darkironyoshi

I prefer no hat, just to be unique. :P

[Soraskybaby]

Could someone get me lyrics to this?

[rockband905]

This could be my last night to see the sky and fly from my hero.

[Ladonaru]

I just love this.

[MrTyreste]

Ok...two questions:

1. Can I shake the hands of the people who made this masterpiece?!?!

And 2. Can you teach me how to do this, cause I've always wanted to do a song but I lack the means... :(

[BronyMediaRadio]

dat bass line 0_o

nice song dude yet again you never cease to amaze ^^

[BronyMediaRadio]

@BronyMediaRadio the same goes for acoustic brony but its too much effort to put this on their video of this song :P

[MadHumour]

Mind if i sing that at a talent show? I'll film that (And Record my ver) and give you the full credit :D

[JohnMarshton777]

@MadHumour i was thinking about doing that too! *brohoof* /]

[MadHumour]

@JohnMarshton777 *Brohoof* I'm drawing my OWN OC pony because of that song :D

[OMGWTFTrolol]

OMFG, I love this song!!

[Flutterguy99]

"Some people call me a chicken" Ha! Two dictionaries, a chicken and a tree.

[RenegadethePegasus]

that song that starts playing just after four minutes, i never hear a title for it, i want to find the tabs somewhere, but i dont know what its called, anyone know?

[BinExis]

Y U NO "somepony" instead of "some people" and "somebody"?

[MandoPony]

@BinExis AcousticBrony wanted the lyrics to be more universal, and not just applicable to ponies or bronies in general. I backed them on the decision.

#ForTheRecord

[netulv]

@MandoPony that makes sense in a kind of a not really kind a way,

what I'm saying is:

I can see what you mean, but why make so many Pony refrences to the show (which only bronys understand yes) only to make the lyrics itself appy to non-bronies ?

its as you only went half-hearted in,

Dont get me wrong, i still like it, but its because of the Pony ref's which is all over,

but hey man, you're the Famous guys :P not me, so it must work the way you intend for it to work ;)

So..

GL HF GG ^^

[tenorsaxhero]

@MandoPony It also flows better than if you said "someponies"

[supercammy98]

Anybody got tabs for this masterpiece?

[JamesFizzy]

It's amazing how much of the community this "little show" has brought together.

[shortwave737]

T_T That made my cry brony. You are amazing!

[HPForever66]

Can a Filly do a cover of this?

[DracoDei]

Keep up the good work!

A little rough on the singing somewhere in the 4:10 to 4:20 range. Generally good in that regard.

Instrumental parts up to par on both the composing & playing parts (2nd somewhat trivial IF you were using electronic device to generate music from score).

Biggest problem I see is that I can't see Dash as being someone who "calms the mind" on second thought she may demonstrate "no mind", where the conscious mind is calm to allow muscle memory to be precise & explosive.

[ATetrisBlock]

@DracoDei The image I get from the song is RD flying high above Scootaloo, 'above it all' and appearing serene (even if she's working hard to retain her speed at that time), plus she DOES like napping in clouds and trees. So there's that.

I see what you mean, but it's all in the interpretation I think.

[1pieceisdareasoniliv]

Oh dear, I wasn't planning on crying today.

[rockband905]

That it the most beautiful image have ever in my beautiful downtown in the night. (sniff)

[13rokenknightascar]

man, you like any song that you let repeat 50 times XD Ive done that to only 2 songs though...i swear >>

[ertuzom]

mando, maybe you best song so far

[videogamefan101]

I loved this! Only thing that would make this 20% cooler was if the leetstreetboys sang this! *fangasm* :D

[blue0magic]

mind if i use this in an animations that's not pony related, btw i love the song =P

[ItzTatiii]

Play this song with Loyalty and you get epicness.

[HaiBritProductions]

This would've been perfect if the lyrics said "anypony" and "everypony" instead of "anybody" and "everybody".

[Bronyclips]

So utterly brilliant-BronyEd

[19supercat]

whats her cutie mark?

[skarsid12]

@19supercat The rising sun



[SonOfTheNorthe]

Would anyone mind directing me to a band with similar vocals?

[SagebrushPony]

Oh heya, that's the very first pic I made! Nice work on the song =).

[MandoPony]

@SagebrushPony That's your artwork? You did a great job! Glad you don't mind the fact that we used it, heh heh!

[JohnMarshton777]

@SagebrushPony Lucky bastard -_- i cant draw ANYTHING, well just small things, not much to be anything used by anypony :P oh well, ill keep tryin

[SagebrushPony]

@JohnMarshton777

I feel pretty honored that they used it actually; there's a ton of awesome artwork out there.

[WildyThunder]

Awesome song !

[FeralHydra75]

I heard "Some people call me a chicken" I lol'd so fucking hard. Lol awesome song though

[JMHoffmarn]

Really dig the song, but the vocal pickup from your microphone could be about 20 percent cooler. Some of the lines arent so clear, though the music is beautiful. Would you consider re-recording this with better equipment?

[Pachirisuspark]

you used a line from the talent show episode

[FreezingShock]

@Pachirisuspark Sherlock Holmes would be proud of you.

[Pachirisuspark]

i love this song a lot

[skarsid12]

Scootaloo listened to this, took a stance, and began to fly.

Scootaloo approves. Thank you AcousticBrony and MandoPony.

[J3tt5ki]

Yaay Scoots!!!!!

[ihave5issues]

I love the tone of the guitar at the beginning. It seems to be prevalent in a lot of your songs.

[amlegobee]

The Official Soundtrack Score to the Credits of the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Brony Documentary.

[PsychoticMuffinz]

I don't know how many times I've listened to this song just to hear the Friendship is Magic name drop, plus the lyrics are amazing so that's another reason. Can't stop listening x3

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

So... who wrote what? What was your part?

[MandoPony]

@NotOrdinaryInGames I composed some of the guitar parts -- and the strings. But most of the credit goes to Jimmy of AcousticBrony :)

[likira111]

am i the only one who thinks scootaloo is a boy

[Furnicelover511]

@likira111 Err, probably yes. XD Everyone when speaking about Scootaloo says 'she' and 'her'. Also, she doesn't have a colt body build, and her muzzle matches that of a filly's. That's all i have to say. XD

[likira111]

@Furnicelover511 does that mean you thinks he she is a girl

[Furnicelover511]

@likira111 I KNOW she is a girl, because the show says she is a girl. Can't argue with the true show. XD

[likira111]

@Furnicelover511 what episode

[likira111]

that cant be from freindship one raeson: he have a cutie mark

[TheGag96]

Man, AcousticBrony loves that spacy guitar effect, doesn't he?

[AcousticBrony]

@TheGag96 You bet I do lol :D

[PsychoticMuffinz]

I'm crying... and the lyrics haven't even started up yet... What is this? Just listening to the beginning... I can hear her dreams of flying, of becoming like her idol... and now the words... my God this is just a BEAUTIFUL song... oh my God you guys did an absolutely amazing job!

[SurfingCA2]

I love when you guys do stuff together! It always turns out AMAZING!

[Guardankitsune]

Very nice I agree with the others it's a very good song ^^ but I do have one small thing that caught my attention... when you make a MLP:FIM song you might want to use the terminology that is used in the show like; 'someone' in the show would be 'somepony' but no matter what a very good song keep it up.

[SuperOnePieceMaster]

This makes me hope they'll make an episode where the Cutie Mark Crusaders finally get their Cutie Marks

[sapfyreo]

holy hell my heart melted

[AltProtomix]

Honestly, when they make the MLP full length film, you'd better be the first person they call to compose the score. Amazing song, amazing meaning.

[MandoPony]

@AltProtomix As much as I appreciate the sentiment, I'd be sorely disappointed if Will Anderson and Daniel Ingram weren't the main composers for the score and the songs! :)

...that being said... if they wanted to get a brony involved for just ONE song, or maybe a song to play during the credits... well...

[Fargosis16]

@AltProtomix they're making one!?

[MandoPony]

@Fargosis16 It was a hypothetical statement XD

[halfdogderek]

@Fargosis16 they should



[jbjoker22]

I am happy I have been part of this fan base for since it was on 4chan so I could see amazing things come from its fanbase like I knew it would :) this song is one of the best fan made songs I have ever heard. It is inspiring and powerful... *man tears* good job dude

[TheCodemasterc]

This is some serious professional grade stuff and it is a shame you dont have more fews.

[TheCodemasterc]

@TheCodemasterc I meant Views

[Soyneil]

The first 2 seconds remind me of "Still Dre", and I don't even like that song. I like this one though :D

[nomnomman89]

I broke my promise to never connect my IPod to my laptop to put this song on it.

Worth it.

[Talryk]

Chorus hits, manly tears flow. By the stars, I don't think any music has hit me more emotionally than ponies music, and this song tops my chart.

[quilf19]

best original pony music ever

[TheNukabomb]

manly tears this song is best.

[supersmashfan05]

This is the best fan-made music piece EVER!!!!! End of discussion

would i get flam
