Neverending Strife


By H8 Seed: Acapella by Marshmelon, band and more backing vocal by Applejinx!

Oh please, excuse me, I don’t mean to alarm
And certainly, I mean you no physical harm
I’m just the reigning king of chaos here to rock your world
So just sit tight and let this little story unfurl

My mission is simple: Neverending Strife
I’ll worm into your heart and then I’ll cut like a knife
My intentions are clear, so just surrender your will
I’m a predator, and I’m going in for the kill

Don’t hate me cause I’m funny
Don’t hate me cause I’m beautiful
You should hate me cause I’m better than you

I only want to party
I only want to play it cool
I’m beholden to seeing this through

I could trot around your little pony head
Spreading white lies and whispers
I’m gonna tell you about your fickle pony friends
Your rage is so hot, it blisters

I have your attention now, it’s futile to flee
Your Elements of Harmony are worthless to me
So please–you can’t beat me, just fire away
I’ll shrug it off and live to laugh another day

My hatred and wisdom are a thousand years old
Millennia trapped in stone and desolate cold
Your princess couldn’t save you. You have no hope
You’re hanging yourself, I’m just providing the rope

Discord Welcome Home


I hope that you believe me, I saw something very strange
For they were watching ponies on the New York Stock Exchange
The people, they all joined their hands and they set up a chant
And Discord oozed right through the screen like horror from Japan
And they sang
Discord, Welcome Home- we’re all so glad you’re here
Discord, Welcome Home- we’ve longed for this for years
We’re here to do your bidding, so don’t you dare be sad
Let’s get this party started, ’cause there’s chaos to be had

I asked a man if we could have Celestia instead
He looked at me like I was kinda derped up in the head
He said, there’s something that you stupid bronies never see
To share’s a sin- if chaos wins, the money’s just for me
And they sang
Discord, Welcome Home- we’re all so glad you’re here
Discord, Welcome Home- we’ve longed for this for years
We’re here to do your bidding, so don’t you dare be sad
Let’s get this party started, ’cause there’s chaos to be had

Lead us, said the stockbrokers, we’re bringing on the pain
We don’t care where we’re going if you promise chocolate rain
I’ve got to say, you’ve made me proud, said Discord with a smile
You humans have a special gift for breaking things with style
And they sang
Discord, Welcome Home- we’re all so glad you’re here
Discord, Welcome Home- we’ve longed for this for years
We’re here to do your bidding, so don’t you dare be sad
Let’s get this party started, ’cause there’s chaos to be had

Well, Pinkie Pie reached through the screen when all the hope had fled
She gave him a big kiss and then she bopped him on the head
He gave a start, his eyes were hearts, popped back in the TV
His final words, ‘and you expected faithfulness from me?’
And they sang
Discord, Welcome Home- we’re all so glad you’re here
Discord, Welcome Home- we’ve longed for this for years
We’re here to do your bidding, so don’t you dare be sad
Let’s get this party started, ’cause there’s chaos to be had

I’m Yours


Basically a love song from ‘Applejack’ to bronies! Or maybe just one pony…

lyrics-

Equestria is filled with wonders, marvels fill the air
And by that I’m referrin’ to variety of mares
Yep! Pretty mares a-plenty, to wink and catch your eye
Oh, yes, I saw you lookin’, don’t even think ta lie!
The unicorns and pegasuses got you in a whirl
Them ponies, they git up to stuff to set your mane a-curl
Seems like an earth pony is not the fanciest you’ll find
Well, let me tell you jes’ one reason I’m a special kind

I’m yours I’m yours
I ain’t some faithless fancy hor …se
Aw, sugarcube, I’m yours

Well, ain’t that pretty Lyra mighty easy on the eyes
And our Princess Celestia will make your sunshine rise
You’ll gaze at Luna wishin’ you could cross those many miles
You’ll willin’ly come back to earth for Fluttershy’s sweet smiles
The elegance of Rarity ain’t nothin’ I can fight
And I don’t have ta tell you ’bout the magic of Twilight
Oh, Derpy done won all our hearts, of that I can’t deny
And lordy, how that Rainbow Dash can light up that there sky, but

I’m yours I’m yours
I ain’t some faithless fancy hor …se
Aw, sugarcube, I’m yours

I see your eyes a wanderin’, gives me quite an ache
But it takes more than that to git earth pony heart to break
It’s just your wild oats a talkin’, doing what they do
And I will never fail to see th’ deeper part of you
So dally with the unicorns, fly with pegasi
Well, I can’t do them fancy things and I won’t even try
I understand you when you wander, but please come on home
For I will always love you and you know it in your bones

I’m yours I’m yours
I ain’t some faithless fancy hor …se
Aw, sugarcube, I’m yours

Wing Power (Applejinx version)

As soon as I heard MusicalPony’s song Wing Power, I loved it and had to do a remix of it.

Which meant putting my rhythm section and guitars on it and resinging it with much louder vocals, because it’s a GREAT song! (I did change the shy/shy rhyme to cry/shy, on account of she was crying so it’s legit, and fiddled with other lyrics a bit)

I’ve had to reupload- I thought you could update a video in place but you can’t. Since it isn’t a house track the extended groove sections no longer worked, so I put in a Fluttershy lead guitar that starts out as shy and ends up saving the day :)

Somewhere

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high

There’s someone that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that I dared to dream were of me and you

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There’s someone that I heard of once in a lullaby
Someday I’ll lay my head to rest and smile as I recall the best
About you
Someday my heart will wave goodbye and I won’t have to stand and cry
And I’ll be without you

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There’s someone that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And are dreams still as beautiful- when they don’t come true?

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
They’ll get over the rainbow
Oh, darling, why oh why can’t I?

Rainbow Factory (Applejinx Version)

Cover of WoodenToaster’s “Rainbow Factory”

Now a rainbow’s tale isn’t quite as nice

As the story we knew of sugar and spice
But a rainbow’s easy once you get to know it
With the help of the magic of a pegasus device

Let’s delve deeper into rainbow philosophy
Far beyond that of Cloudsdale’s mythology
It’s easy to misjudge that floating city
With it’s alluring decor and social psychology
But with all great things comes a great responsibility
That of Cloudsdale’s being weather stability
How, you ask, are they up to the task
To which the answer is in a simple facility

In the Rainbow Factory, where your fears and your horrors come true
In the Rainbow Factory, where not a single soul gets through

Twilight Sparkle’s Eyes

Please- please accept this sweet exile

Leave- leave your senses for a while
For more of Twilight Sparkle’s smile

Twilight leads a lonely life and practices the best intention
I won’t say to run away, but I suggest some apprehension

Dream of a love without disguise
Sweet startled innocent surprise
Peace, peace, in Twilight Sparkle’s eyes

Didn’t mama tell you- seducing unicorns? Unwise

You can dream what dreams you like, but you’re not ready for that action
She might seem a sweetie pie but she won’t be the one in traction

The song can be downloaded in hi-res at Bandcamp- http://applejinx.bandcamp.com/album/twilight-sparkles-eyes and a rhythm-section-only version is there for would-be remixers.

Thank you for over 200,000 views on We’re On To Something Good!

There’s some controversy over what the name of the new band should be. Rainbow Dash wants ‘Rainbow Dash’s Band Of Awesome’, Rarity suggests ‘Equestrian Lace’, and you don’t even want to know what Pinkie thought up (the list covers five single spaced pages of Twilight’s notes). Possibly ponies can help out our little rock-stars?

We’re On To Somethin’ Good- retracked, remixed!

I guess it ain’t that likely, that I might learn to fly

My hoofbeats land on rocky ground, the prairie is my sky
Well ain’t it some small miracle, the day I finally found
That when we met halfway I’m walkin’ inches off the ground
And who would have believed it happened when I understood
That you’n me, babe, we’re on to somethin’ good

There ain’t no-pony lovelier, such radiant delight
Cerulean is framed by all the colors of the light
I’ll lay me down beside your body, while the moon does rise
And warm myself forever by the fire in your eyes
How did I waste a lifetime never knowin’ that I could?
For you’n me, babe, we’re on to somethin’ good

My heart, it sings for happiness whenever you’re around
Besides, you pack a kick that’s like no-pony in this town
And I am done with turbulence, with breezes and with flings
Forget the wind, my darling is the world beneath my wings
And no-one’s ever, EVER gonna tell me if I should
Cause you and me, babe, we’re on to something good

And my heart broke with ecstacy right when you said you would
And you and me, babe, we’re on to something good
You and me, babe, we’re on to something good
