This is easily the longest I’ve ever spent on a track, but I wanted to make sure it was special for the one year anniversary. The only sheet music I had to go by was a Mario Paint arrangement that was useful only as a starting point. Nearly everything you hear is my best attempt to match the original by ear.
This took twenty plus hours easy. I recognize that it won’t be for everypony, but I really like the way this came out. There were a lot of subtle instruments that I usually skip or are unable to pick up on that I made sure were adequately represented here. It all comes together great and I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for my first full year on tumblr!
And here’s a question mark so you can leave a message if you want?
I started a sort-of contest, and this post contains the results. Originally I was going to only do one. But since I only had five entries I decided to do all of them.
This is a heavy note. Three of the five are fairly standard stuff. Admittedly I probably would misdirect them or turn them into jokes, but the questions and answers contain nothing you wouldn’t ordinarily see here.
However, the last two are of a mature nature. One of which extremely so. You’ll find that one after the break below. If you want to skip it, I promise you you will lose nothing for doing so. Again, do not click past the page break unless you’re willing to read material of a mature, adult nature.
The other I’m turning into a storytime post. That will come later tonight.
1) When I was younger, I wanted to be anywhere but Canterlot. But I was afraid to leave. I knew about Ponyville being relatively close, but I was afraid of it. My life back then was horrifying, but I quickly learned the worst of it. To leave presented the most terrifying thing I could think of, the unknown. I didn’t know if worse things existed, but that unknown possibility forced me to stay. Even if it wasn’t where I belonged, I didn’t know anything else.
Present day, I’ve been across most of Equestria, but it was all so fast. It’s not so much places I haven’t been as it is places I’d like to spend more time at. Fillydelphia seemed like a great place to live and, even though I’m afraid of heights, Cloudsdale is an absolutely beautiful city with a breathtaking view.
2) I’d probably be depressed that I was never able to make amends for the terrible things I did in the past. Even though I know I’ll never be able to, I guess deep down a part of me still wishes there was a way.
Honestly though, unless I’m crippled there’s too much to do in an hour to sit around and mope. I wouldn’t think a thing about the past unless I physically couldn’t move or communicate with anypony else. Too many loose ends to tie up before I go.
3) I don’t think you can lyra a saxophone at all, let alone while doing any of the rest of the things you listed. And I’d love to collaborate with Octavia for a musical project! Vinyl’s interest don’t usually mesh with mine, but I wouldn’t be against working with Ms. Pon3 so long as it’s not dubstep or techno. To that end, I think she and I could so something with a psychedelic or progressive rock slant.
Picking the “Tell:” to use and I’ll have a post for that soon. Music post will be after that and then I stayed up till 5 last night finishing that drawing I said I didn’t have enough time for! So that will be posted after the music.
Happy Tumblrversary for me to you!
1) Yes! Of course! Come on down!
2) No. Touchie.
3) Today is fine! One year tumblrversary and I’m playing my old copy of Alien Hominid!
4) I don’t enjoy hoofing them out. Just necessary sometimes.
5) You know I do. That’s why I broke into your house last night and stole your vast collection.
I mean, oh boy. That took like eight or nine trips, four dozen ten gig flashdrives. Man. You must really love smut.
Gay smut.
6) And he loves to eat cocaine! Because cocaine is vitamins for Anon Soap!
8) Thanks for the reminder! I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a Free Shelter Day, though. Sounds like something I could have used growing up.
9) Yes. Sometimes I wish I had a blood-related family.
10) Unicorns are dumb. Unicorns are too good for bears. Bears are too good for unicorns. Krastos is too good for you. You’re too good for Krastos.
Can’t we just meet in the middle and agree that we deserve each other?
