I wanted to point out to you that the pink pony's name is Princess Cadence and she sings a perfect/true cadence in the song, meanwhile the imposter, the black pony, is singing a deceptive cadence. We all thought that clever, the one being the real Cadence and the deceiver tipping her hoof as the deceptive Cadence.
Two things 1) to answer your question, the melody you asked about at the end, yes, that’s still the framework for the theme song 2) I asked this in the last video, but I’m gonna request it again just because I love the song. React to “In My Head Like a Catchy Song” It’s the love story between one of the main characters’ parents, and it’s so good. It has this bouncy melody and, well I guess you’ll see
So, fun fact: this song is a *pun* The character is named Cadence; her parts are written in an Authentic Cadence, and her impostor's parts are written in a False Cadence.
@@arborealCynoid The character-the authentic, actual Cadence-is being impersonated by someone who looks exactly like her-the deceptive, false cadence. In musical terms, a _cadence_ relates to the chord structure and how melodies resolve; an Authentic Cadence sounds "like it's supposed to" and a Deceptive Cadence does the opposite.
Sometimes it's hard being a fan. Part of you wants to explain to people how genuinely good it is, and part of you is horrifically embarrassed for being an adult who yells 'woohoo' out loud for every Discord episode.
As a mlp fan I'm a little salty he watched the "music video" instead of the actual scene The music is really enhanced by the scene itself, and I feel it's actually confusing this guy seeing as how it flips between the actual singing part and random scenes shoved in there, and people are trying to explain it to this guy. But he still likes it so at least we have that
for context, the evil pony is a shape shifter, taking the form of Princess Cadence (the prince's fiance) to marry him and over take the kingdom. the true Princess Cadence is trapped in a cave ❤️
its clever because it uses ""deceptive cadences" and the pink pony character is named Cadence but its ac another pony in disguise so, its litterally a deceptive cadence.
yeah, we all in the first time were exactly like him when the video started xD is just weird, but hey. Fantasy is a thing that existed for centuries so is not really that weird
I thought it was just a girly kid's cartoon before a friend of mine suggested I give it a look and it is surprisingly good. Most of the second to last season was an allegory on racism, nationalism, and corruption in educational bureaucracy. It's a show that can so weirdly, but in a way that works, go back and forth between cutsie childish topics, more serious real-world topics, a few DBZ level fight scenes, and even the occasional nod to the fan community which the writers of the show seemed to keep up with fairly consistently. Honestly the amount of interaction between fans and show creators is kind of amazing and might have been the best part of it. It showed how much everyone involved seemed to genuinely care about what they were making.
So here's some context: The evil one is Queen Chrysalis, a changeling which is a creature that can transform to look like anything it wants. Chrysalis took the form of a princess named Cadence, who is the good one trapped with the purple unicorn Twilight Sparkle. Chrysalis is posing as Cadence to marry Twilight's brother Shining Armor in order to take over Equestria, the kingdom where the ponies live. Changelings live off of love, and ponies have the most of it.
Daniel Ingram is a truly spectacular songwriter. He threw his entire heart into making Broadway-worthy pieces for a series meant for preschoolers. It's so wonderful when people who work on kids' tv respect that kids are people, and know that they deserve the best!
@@mayahawkestan The intended audience was 2-11! A broad range, specifically because Lauren Faust didn't like how pandering the original cartoon was, and wanted to make it more widely appealing to anyone. So yes, you're right that it appeals to all ages, but the producers were a toy company, and their teams always market series to a specific age group. And there's no denying that a lot of the episodes (specifically the early-to-mid series Cutie Mark Crusaders eps) seemed written distinctly for a very young age group.
We gotta give respect to the voice actor for this song. Her name is Britt McKillip and she sang for both sides, both the evil and good ponies. Suffice to say, she did a phenomenal job!
I honestly think the remix is a downgrade from the original, but I have to take into account that I had already liked some of his other songs, like "The Top", in addition to classics like "No One Sleep in Tokyo". The style of the remix just wasn't for me.
The Friendship is Magic series actually has a lot of musical theater quality songs, also silly ones. Some good songs that don't require context are " Smile" "Raise this Barn" " I love everything" " Popular" and one that everyone should listen to is "Art of the dress"
Another popular song is “Winter Wrap Up”. It actually makes a lot of people want to get into MLP, it’s extremely catchy and you’ll have it in your head for days!
It is so glad that the fanmade song 'Lullaby for a princess' got you interested in the full series. They have so many amazing songs in MLP. Some songs I would suggest would maybe be 'bad seed', 'It's gonna work', and ' the pony I want to be' along with others! 😆
I’d like to clarify the Lullaby For A Princess was entirely fanmade, though based on canonical events. Another iconic fanmade song is Discord! (The Living Tombstone version is the most popular but the original Eurobeat version is my favorite!! It has,, a lot going on haha)
Fun fact about another song from this episode (song is bbbff) from the pony fandom wikia (for context, the pink pony’s name is Cadence): The song's composer, Daniel Ingram, used a cadence known as a "deceptive cadence" rather than an "authentic cadence" to finish the reprise as an "inside joke".[4] The non-reprisal version ends on an authentic cadence, D flat major, rather than a deceptive one (B flat minor). In a (now deleted) tweet, Daniel Ingram mentions that Rebecca Shoichet was lightly autotuned to produce a "harmonizing effect."
Ah, so *that's* where the actual "deceptive cadence" is! Most fans say that they're used in "This Day", and I thought I was going crazy, 'cause I just couldn't hear it.
Please do "Bad Apple" as it's a song based on a game series from Tohou featuring the characters and their interactions with one another. But the song heavily deals with the feelings associated with coming to a crux in someone's life and how either of their choices will help them or lead them to ruin without explaining what awaits them.
The fact that the voice actress did both parts so well. Such an accomplished singer. It's a good episode. Hope you end up watching the show. It's pretty good for a kids show
Background info: the first one you see is an imposter pretending to be Princess Cadence (the second one) to marry her fiance, Shining Armor. She is a changeling, a species that can transform into relatively any form and gains power from love
Dude, thank you for not taking yourself so super seriously that you can't let yourself check this out. We won't demand a zillion pony songs of you, but The Moon Rises is totally worth your time.
A positively fantastic reaction, This Day Aria is sill to this day one of the most memorable songs of MLP FIM and it's also almost always voted number 1 in almost every list of top 10 favorite mlp songs!!!
This Day Aria is probably my favorite song from MLP:FiM (my favorite song from the _movie_ though, would definitely be Open Up Your Eyes with maybe One Small Thing being second). Ooh, David, you should react to Open Up Your Eyes! Literally gave me chills when I first heard it.
The character singing this duet, between herself and an imposter, is named Cadence. The sinister sounding sections are sung by the imposter, and the lighter sounding sections are sung by the actual character. The imposter's sections make use of deceptive cadences in the music. Cadence's sections do the same with authentic cadences. MLP's song writer is a musical genius. He also used to work with Weird Al, so fun fact.
Yeah, they kept that theme throughout the entire show. Just eventually different visuals. Oh the song from the Perfect Pear episode though, have you reacted to that one yet, it's called You're in My Head Like a Catchy Song
I was skeptical at first, but my friends convinced me to give the show a shot. And while I’m not a hardcore Brony, I really liked the music and storytelling.
I didn't even think about that one, but Friendship Games is a great pick! Actually I gotta go listen to it righ now, it's been way too long since I last heard it...
For MLP songs you should totally watch Open up your Eyes from the Movie. Both the original and the PrinceWhateverer cover are the best songs this fandom has to offer.
Just start watching the show David, its so full music that makes it all worth the watch and honestly the characters are really likable. Do it, you wont regret it.
There is this mlp song "A Kirin Tale" by Rachel Bloom. You should definitely check some of Rachel's original songs on her channel, she is a comedian and do also a lot of song parodies, she created a show/musical ,,Crazy Ex-Girlfriend'' that has a lot of great songs too, my favorite and one that I think would interest to the most are: ''You Stupid Bitch'' ''After Everything I've Done For You'' and it's reprise, ''I've Got My Head In The Clouds'', ''Antidepressants Are So Not a Big Deal'', ''Tell me I'm Ok'', ''I'm getting Bi'' and this list is getting too long, the show is a good laugh and tackles important and heavy issues like mental health, it's worth a watch in a free time.
MLP's villain songs are just the best! Try "Open Up Your Eyes" (from MLP the Movie) and "A Better Way to Be Bad" (From season 9 episode 8). Those are also epic songs!
This song is from the show but the video is a compilation of scenes from the season 2 finale, so that's why some scenes didn't seem to match up. A song I'd reccomend is A Better Way to be Bad from season 9 episode 8
This is so funny to me because I've been rewatching all of MLP and I've been recommended this and his Lullaby for a Princess video in the past two days.
MLP has really good songs. There are so many songs on this show that I want to see your reaction to. Here are some of them - "Say Goodbye to the Holiday" or "The Magic Inside" and even "You're In My Head Like a Catchy Song". And here are a few of my favorites from the movie. - "Open Up Your Eyes" and "One Small Thing" And for the last "Time To Be Awesome". Hope you listen to some of them.
The woman who plays Princess Cadance has always been a personal vocal favorite of mine. Her voice is so warm, buttery and smooth and she has such a good range of control.
This song is quite possibly my favorite villain song ever. Just the geniuses of it being called an aria while technically being a duet, but having them be the same voice while being the complete opposite in personality is nothing short of amazing. And something that "A Canterlot Wedding" (this episode) wouldn't be as great without this number. Very happy to see you enjoy this as well! Despite you not having the context with one of them being an imposter in disguise lol.
This song, while I am admittedly a little embarrassed of my mlp phase, is still a classic. Now that I’m older, and have taken a few years of voice lessons, I feel comfortable belting out Queen Chrysalis’s part, and switching to Cadence’s more rounded and softer part. It’s so fun to sing, and I do still love this arc of the show.
My Little Pony was, at least for a lot of the show, a show with genuine standards compared to most kids shows and, you know, hats off to them for having standards when it comes to quite a few of their music numbers too.
Mwhahaha, I'm so happy people are requesting more MLP songs. So naturally now, we're gonna need to have you review the fansong "The Moon Rises". More beautiful music! Also, yeah. They kept the theme for the series!
Something really interesting to note about the song: The two main characters of the song, are queen Chrysalis A changeling villain and princess Cadence the hero. The thing that’s important about that when it comes to the song, is that an aria usually ends in what is known as an ‘authentic cadence’ But instead it goes to a lower range it is actually known as a deceptive cadence. Which is fitting considering the song ends with the one pretending to be the princess singing. That shows you the level of detail that this show put into their show at times.
Funny story. This song is the reason I tried the show in the first place. Ultimately ended up being my second favorite song in the show after "Say Goodbye to the Holiday" from the Christmas Carol / Grinch parody episode. The other song you reacted to would be my number one song coming from creatives in the fandom and has a lot of strong competition.
This show does have som really beautiful music, this one is one of my favorites. Another great song from the show are "Open Up Your Eyes," from the My Little Pony Movie which is another really epic song, also one of the few songs from the show that I still listen to frequently. A lot of the songs from the show are really good, and another great song from the My Little Pony Movie is "Rainbow" which is sung by Sia.
I JUST watched "Lullaby for a princess" and commented for the first time on a video of yours mentioning this song AND YOU POST A REVIEW OF THIS SONG? I was never into FIM, but I discovered this song and had a few friends who were into the series, and it was one of the first pieces I learned how to play on piano before getting any professional musical training
“The people in Ponydom” Lol imagine if they had went with that The Kingdom is called Equestria for the record. The city they’re in is called Canterlot which is the Capital city. It was a royal wedding so it was natural the wedding happened there I probably sound like the biggest nerd right now but I don’t care
honestly, your reactions to this piece shows how good the plot devices that hasbro used throughout the show were, and how they help to understand what is going on in the songs. are the songs good? yes. they are amazing. HOWEVER, they are even MORE impactful when you have the full story. like WarpOut's lullaby for a princess animation, when you know the context behind the piece it makes it hard not to cry. most of the big MLP songs are like this. I am a brony who likes the show for the story, the art, the music. the characters are a little bland for the first 3 seasons, but that's fine. everything worked out in the end. I am sorry for the essay, and thank you who ever read this entire thing. have a lovely rest of your life.
Some of my favorite mlp songs (in no particular order) that I recommend are "You'll Play Your Part", "You're in My Head Like a Catchy Song", "The Magic Inside", "Flawless", "Open Up Your Eyes", and "The Magic of Friendship Grows" (show finale 🥲)
Fortunately me and many of the people still in the fandom can tell you that she was OK the one saying that she didn’t care about him was a changeling the queen to be specific and when they defeat a villain they don’t get killed they get turn to stone or Reformed cadence and shining which is the pink and white pony made it out of this episode because of the love they have the black one which is the change Queen Did not get destroyed or 10 to stone but she did get blasted love kind of push people away
Not me wanting to watch MLP all over again... I thought that phase of my life was over. But these videos brought a memory out in me that needs to be relived.
Some of minne would probbably be a song by The dazzlings like ”under our spell” , ”battle of the bands” I think the namn was and the face of with the main six + Sunset with ”welcome to the show” Wait a minnet, ops I think that was like all of their songs in the show😅 but they’re good✨ But if noe that ”my past is not today” Sunset Shimmer’s song, lov that one❣️🥰✨❤️
Background: The evil princess is actually a changeling, a shapeshifting pony that feeds on love. She transformed into Candance to fool Shing Armor and get past the Royal Guards. The real Cadance, the one in the cave, is trying to escape with Twilight to stop the wedding before the Changeling marries him. The reason the Changeling Queen is in Canterlot is to weaken Shining Armor so his defense around Canterlot can be broken and to feed her followers with the love in Canterlot. Now the reason why Twilight is in the cave was that she(Twilight) found out that "Cadance" was a fake and she(Fake Candance) needed to get rid of Twilight before she(Twilight) ruins her plans. Hope this was helpful!
I would really recommend reacting to the Goof off, it features Weird Al Yankovich and one of my favorite ponies Pinkie Pie! AS well as Smile, it really punches into your soul what Pinkie is there to do. I would also 100% recommend Rarity's first solo song, Art of the Dress. Both are AMAZING and they're super good. Honestly anything from the first three seasons are AMAZING, but there are gems in the later ones as well.
I would also highly recommend "A tiny glass of water please" It's sung by Discord a villain turned sort of reformed, who's voiced by John de Lancie, who did Q from the older star trek.
This song has a bunch of hidden musical stuff the was out there by the head musician of the show to see if the musical bronies would notice and they did. I think the big one was something called a deceptive cadence which is exactly what the character was..
You should do "the Moon Rises"! It's the counter point to Lullaby for a Princess. There's also a version of Lullaby for a princess that is from the other pony's perspective called "Luna's Soliloquy." There's a few videos that put them together in a duet form so you can really compare the two.
Seeing all this really bringing me back to my childhood. I cant help but go back to these songs because they’re genuinely good. Its hilarious but, they know how to make music.
The composer for MLP:FiM, Daniel Ingram is a master of the craft. So much variety in the soundtrack, and bangers like “This Day Aria” are him at his best... For what was meant to just be a merchandising piece for little girl pony toys! Yes, they got Lauren Faust specifically to give it something more, but I doubt anyone expected not just how popular this was but how GOOD, too!
1:48 the moment where David questions what the heck happened to his life that this sentece makes any sense :D also: A Kirin Tale (also from MLP) would be a very nice song to react to
Honestly I feel like you should listen to something like... Apples to the Core from the MLP season 4 episode "Pinkie Apple Pie". I think that song is so good musically because it does a great job depicting the characters through the instrumental during their verses. It's also a completely under appreciated song and deserves some love. In fact, just.... Literally do *any* song from MLP. They're all fantastic, I can't think of a single one I don't like. But If you wanna check out a pony song that's well known for being good, I recommend Winter Wrap Up!
This version of MLP was crazy. I can honestly say that every single song throughout its entire run was good. Lots of very different types of songs, but no songs I would label as bad. Hope you listen to more of them!

Agreed, I've heard it once maybe seven or eight years ago? And I still get that tune stuck in my head sometimes.
WINTER WRAP UP! WINTER WRAP UP!
I liked that song but not the episode lol
@@parasiticalibis2369 samee
@@parasiticalibis2369 Wow! It'll be 11 years old this year!!!
I think you would like „Open up your eyes” from My Little Pony the Movie! It’s one of my favourite songs from mlp as a whole
Yes! One of the most epic MLP songs, I bet he'd like that one too!
Succcch a good song
Yeah I wanna see that one or the moon one for nightmare moon
He'd get a kick out of Better Way To Be Bad!
YESSS pls
It is so glad that the fanmade song 'Lullaby for a princess' got you interested in the full series. They have so many amazing songs in MLP. Some songs I would suggest would maybe be 'bad seed', 'It's gonna work', and ' the pony I want to be' along with others! 😆
Love these songs, don’t wanna be that person but to make sure he finds the song it’s babs seed
is it just me or are the equestria girls songs better than fim? Like, fim has some bangers for sure, but eqg just put out good music consistently
@Its Me probably because it's a movie
Oh and don't forget We'll make our mark... Though that would be weird if he doesn't have any context
@@awildnoviceappears even the eqg web series' songs are good tho. in fact, a lot of my favorite songs from mlp are from the eqg series
You need to listen to "Magic Inside" from my little pony. They got an actual BROADWAY SINGER to do the character's voice acting and songs.
yesss!
Wait, which one was that again? It’s been a while since I’ve watched the show.
@@elenalynch541 the song from Mane Attraction c:
@@elenalynch541 It's from the Mane Attraction. Rara the popstar, AJ's childhood friend.
Can't believe that episode is now 5 years old
I’d like to clarify the Lullaby For A Princess was entirely fanmade, though based on canonical events. Another iconic fanmade song is Discord! (The Living Tombstone version is the most popular but the original Eurobeat version is my favorite!! It has,, a lot going on haha)
Oh gosh I fkkn love the discord song (both versions 😳)
Battle of the bands, under our spell, unleash the magic, and open your eyes are others I recommend! The movies all have the best villain songs.
So pretty much all of Rainbow Rocks
Yess THE NOSTALGIA
Welcome to the show is incredible
Unpopular opinion:mlp villain songs are better then Disney villain songs
@@Mimi-San721 agree
Ah also the evil one singing is actually a changeling queen Chrysalis taking the form of Cadence
Fun fact about another song from this episode (song is bbbff) from the pony fandom wikia (for context, the pink pony’s name is Cadence): The song's composer, Daniel Ingram, used a cadence known as a "deceptive cadence" rather than an "authentic cadence" to finish the reprise as an "inside joke".[4] The non-reprisal version ends on an authentic cadence, D flat major, rather than a deceptive one (B flat minor). In a (now deleted) tweet, Daniel Ingram mentions that Rebecca Shoichet was lightly autotuned to produce a "harmonizing effect."
Ah, so *that's* where the actual "deceptive cadence" is! Most fans say that they're used in "This Day", and I thought I was going crazy, 'cause I just couldn't hear it.
Please do "Bad Apple" as it's a song based on a game series from Tohou featuring the characters and their interactions with one another. But the song heavily deals with the feelings associated with coming to a crux in someone's life and how either of their choices will help them or lead them to ruin without explaining what awaits them.
bad Apple is a remixed product of the fandom, so much passion and history is in that that song
The fact that the voice actress did both parts so well. Such an accomplished singer. It's a good episode. Hope you end up watching the show. It's pretty good for a kids show
Background info: the first one you see is an imposter pretending to be Princess Cadence (the second one) to marry her fiance, Shining Armor. She is a changeling, a species that can transform into relatively any form and gains power from love
I haven't heard this song in many years...and I still remember all the lyrics
Really sticks in the mind
Ugh same 😭
Dude, thank you for not taking yourself so super seriously that you can't let yourself check this out. We won't demand a zillion pony songs of you, but The Moon Rises is totally worth your time.
Yes yes yes!
MLP Fans: *Everyone liked that...*
😂😂😂
The magic inside (I am just a pony) from My Little Pony Friendship is magic. Is very nice song and is a lot more raw than most.
A positively fantastic reaction, This Day Aria is sill to this day one of the most memorable songs of MLP FIM and it's also almost always voted number 1 in almost every list of top 10 favorite mlp songs!!!
If I had a dollar for every time I sang it to myself when nobody was listening...
/)
This Day Aria is probably my favorite song from MLP:FiM (my favorite song from the _movie_ though, would definitely be Open Up Your Eyes with maybe One Small Thing being second). Ooh, David, you should react to Open Up Your Eyes! Literally gave me chills when I first heard it.
Agreed, Open Up Your Eyes is such a good song.
AGREED TOO, I felt chills when I heard open up your eyes
Ugh I read your comment and now I have One Small Thing stuck in my head. Thanks 😒🤣❤️
Holy crap it's been AGES since I've heard this song
The character singing this duet, between herself and an imposter, is named Cadence. The sinister sounding sections are sung by the imposter, and the lighter sounding sections are sung by the actual character. The imposter's sections make use of deceptive cadences in the music. Cadence's sections do the same with authentic cadences.
MLP's song writer is a musical genius. He also used to work with Weird Al, so fun fact.
This exact song is how I got lured into the wonderful world of MLP when I was in high school about six years back. No regrets!
Yeah, they kept that theme throughout the entire show. Just eventually different visuals. Oh the song from the Perfect Pear episode though, have you reacted to that one yet, it's called You're in My Head Like a Catchy Song
I was skeptical at first, but my friends convinced me to give the show a shot. And while I’m not a hardcore Brony, I really liked the music and storytelling.
Really good song! If you want to react to other MLP songs, I recommend “You’ll play your part” or “Friendship Games” they are really good!
Oml You'll play your part is soooo iconic
The harmony in You’ll play your part is phenomenal! And the piano and guitar in Friendship Games gives me chills! You will love both of them!
I didn't even think about that one, but Friendship Games is a great pick! Actually I gotta go listen to it righ now, it's been way too long since I last heard it...
@@Potkanka I know! As soon as I commented that, I listened to the song right away!
For MLP songs you should totally watch Open up your Eyes from the Movie. Both the original and the PrinceWhateverer cover are the best songs this fandom has to offer.
I recommend "The Midnight In Me" from My little pony : Equestria Girls! :D
while we're on the topic of Equestria Girls, I'd also like him to react to The Cafeteria Song and Under Our Spell
I would recommend listening to "Open up your eyes" from the MLP movie I just think it is really neat
Just start watching the show David, its so full music that makes it all worth the watch and honestly the characters are really likable. Do it, you wont regret it.
There is this mlp song "A Kirin Tale" by Rachel Bloom. You should definitely check some of Rachel's original songs on her channel, she is a comedian and do also a lot of song parodies, she created a show/musical ,,Crazy Ex-Girlfriend'' that has a lot of great songs too, my favorite and one that I think would interest to the most are: ''You Stupid Bitch'' ''After Everything I've Done For You'' and it's reprise, ''I've Got My Head In The Clouds'', ''Antidepressants Are So Not a Big Deal'', ''Tell me I'm Ok'', ''I'm getting Bi'' and this list is getting too long, the show is a good laugh and tackles important and heavy issues like mental health, it's worth a watch in a free time.
I think I will rewatch the show myself for the 4th time. It's 4 seasons available on Netflix and I just can't stop recommending it to others.
Can I suggest Open up your eyes from the MLP movie. It's a straight banger.
MLP's villain songs are just the best! Try "Open Up Your Eyes" (from MLP the Movie) and "A Better Way to Be Bad" (From season 9 episode 8). Those are also epic songs!
BOTH OF THESE!
This song is from the show but the video is a compilation of scenes from the season 2 finale, so that's why some scenes didn't seem to match up. A song I'd reccomend is A Better Way to be Bad from season 9 episode 8
I just love how as he slowly reacts to MLP songs he slowly loses his mind as he tries to say ponies😂
Cadence’s “For I also love the groom” and “Oh Shining Armor” was heavenly
daniel ingram is a music genius and his songs in MLP really shine!
This is so funny to me because I've been rewatching all of MLP and I've been recommended this and his Lullaby for a Princess video in the past two days.
MLP has really good songs. There are so many songs on this show that I want to see your reaction to.
Here are some of them - "Say Goodbye to the Holiday" or "The Magic Inside" and even "You're In My Head Like a Catchy Song".
And here are a few of my favorites from the movie. - "Open Up Your Eyes" and "One Small Thing" And for the last "Time To Be Awesome".
Hope you listen to some of them.
The woman who plays Princess Cadance has always been a personal vocal favorite of mine. Her voice is so warm, buttery and smooth and she has such a good range of control.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!! TURN IT UP 🔊🔊🔊
This song is quite possibly my favorite villain song ever. Just the geniuses of it being called an aria while technically being a duet, but having them be the same voice while being the complete opposite in personality is nothing short of amazing. And something that "A Canterlot Wedding" (this episode) wouldn't be as great without this number. Very happy to see you enjoy this as well! Despite you not having the context with one of them being an imposter in disguise lol.
This song, while I am admittedly a little embarrassed of my mlp phase, is still a classic. Now that I’m older, and have taken a few years of voice lessons, I feel comfortable belting out Queen Chrysalis’s part, and switching to Cadence’s more rounded and softer part. It’s so fun to sing, and I do still love this arc of the show.
My Little Pony was, at least for a lot of the show, a show with genuine standards compared to most kids shows and, you know, hats off to them for having standards when it comes to quite a few of their music numbers too.
Mwhahaha, I'm so happy people are requesting more MLP songs. So naturally now, we're gonna need to have you review the fansong "The Moon Rises". More beautiful music!
Also, yeah. They kept the theme for the series!
Hell yes pls! Would love to see his reaction to it, I think it’s a really good mlp song!🥰✨
Something really interesting to note about the song:
The two main characters of the song, are queen Chrysalis A changeling villain and princess Cadence the hero.
The thing that’s important about that when it comes to the song, is that an aria usually ends in what is known as an ‘authentic cadence’
But instead it goes to a lower range it is actually known as a deceptive cadence.
Which is fitting considering the song ends with the one pretending to be the princess singing.
That shows you the level of detail that this show put into their show at times.
winter wrap up is a killer mlp song if you're looking for the good ones. it was the first that really sucked people in.
Funny story. This song is the reason I tried the show in the first place. Ultimately ended up being my second favorite song in the show after "Say Goodbye to the Holiday" from the Christmas Carol / Grinch parody episode.
The other song you reacted to would be my number one song coming from creatives in the fandom and has a lot of strong competition.
Welcome to the most iconic song of mlp.
Everyone in the mlp community, or just watched mlp, knows this song and sings with it/dances to it
The mlp youve made your mark is one of the best songs in the series
This show does have som really beautiful music, this one is one of my favorites. Another great song from the show are "Open Up Your Eyes," from the My Little Pony Movie which is another really epic song, also one of the few songs from the show that I still listen to frequently. A lot of the songs from the show are really good, and another great song from the My Little Pony Movie is "Rainbow" which is sung by Sia.
I JUST watched "Lullaby for a princess" and commented for the first time on a video of yours mentioning this song AND YOU POST A REVIEW OF THIS SONG? I was never into FIM, but I discovered this song and had a few friends who were into the series, and it was one of the first pieces I learned how to play on piano before getting any professional musical training
I’m enjoying these MLP and EG song reviews! Although I notice you don’t seem to realize that I wrote all of these songs haha.
“The people in Ponydom”
Lol imagine if they had went with that
The Kingdom is called Equestria for the record. The city they’re in is called Canterlot which is the Capital city. It was a royal wedding so it was natural the wedding happened there
I probably sound like the biggest nerd right now but I don’t care
honestly, your reactions to this piece shows how good the plot devices that hasbro used throughout the show were, and how they help to understand what is going on in the songs. are the songs good? yes. they are amazing. HOWEVER, they are even MORE impactful when you have the full story. like WarpOut's lullaby for a princess animation, when you know the context behind the piece it makes it hard not to cry. most of the big MLP songs are like this. I am a brony who likes the show for the story, the art, the music. the characters are a little bland for the first 3 seasons, but that's fine. everything worked out in the end. I am sorry for the essay, and thank you who ever read this entire thing. have a lovely rest of your life.
OMG, I didn't see this coming.
Please do "The Magic Inside" next.
Ok but I really want you to reat to "We Will Stand For Everfree" cause that's one of my lowkey favorite songs from the MLP universe-
Very underrated
Some of my favorite mlp songs (in no particular order) that I recommend are "You'll Play Your Part", "You're in My Head Like a Catchy Song", "The Magic Inside", "Flawless", "Open Up Your Eyes", and "The Magic of Friendship Grows" (show finale 🥲)
hi david can you react to "open up your eyes" its a my little pony song and i think its really good
ITS SOOO GOOD
Oh my God, I love MLP! It's so simple, but so cool! Even being a kids cartoon!
Fortunately me and many of the people still in the fandom can tell you that she was OK the one saying that she didn’t care about him was a changeling the queen to be specific and when they defeat a villain they don’t get killed they get turn to stone or Reformed cadence and shining which is the pink and white pony made it out of this episode because of the love they have the black one which is the change Queen Did not get destroyed or 10 to stone but she did get blasted love kind of push people away
Honestly this song has no right being so amazing, I get hardcore chills every time
MLP:EG We Will Stand For Everfree is another great song to react to
Not me wanting to watch MLP all over again... I thought that phase of my life was over. But these videos brought a memory out in me that needs to be relived.
I kinda want him to react to an Equestria Girls song 😭
Some of minne would probbably be a song by The dazzlings like ”under our spell” , ”battle of the bands” I think the namn was and the face of with the main six + Sunset with ”welcome to the show”
Wait a minnet, ops I think that was like all of their songs in the show😅 but they’re good✨
But if noe that ”my past is not today” Sunset Shimmer’s song, lov that one❣️🥰✨❤️
All of Dazzling songs are bangers I really hope he reacts to them someday
The siren song that goes "we won't be ignored"!
The Midnight In Me is my favorite 🐸
Background: The evil princess is actually a changeling, a shapeshifting pony that feeds on love. She transformed into Candance to fool Shing Armor and get past the Royal Guards. The real Cadance, the one in the cave, is trying to escape with Twilight to stop the wedding before the Changeling marries him. The reason the Changeling Queen is in Canterlot is to weaken Shining Armor so his defense around Canterlot can be broken and to feed her followers with the love in Canterlot.
Now the reason why Twilight is in the cave was that she(Twilight) found out that "Cadance" was a fake and she(Fake Candance) needed to get rid of Twilight before she(Twilight) ruins her plans. Hope this was helpful!
I would really recommend reacting to the Goof off, it features Weird Al Yankovich and one of my favorite ponies Pinkie Pie! AS well as Smile, it really punches into your soul what Pinkie is there to do. I would also 100% recommend Rarity's first solo song, Art of the Dress. Both are AMAZING and they're super good. Honestly anything from the first three seasons are AMAZING, but there are gems in the later ones as well.
I would also highly recommend "A tiny glass of water please" It's sung by Discord a villain turned sort of reformed, who's voiced by John de Lancie, who did Q from the older star trek.
I'm surprised by how popular the song is even 9 years later
I literally just watched this mlp episode with my family last night
I grew up with this show, this show is probably the reason I love and admire music so much.
The Moon Rises about nightmare moon, or your reaction to Open Up Your Eyes from the MLP movie is what I'm curious on
This song has a bunch of hidden musical stuff the was out there by the head musician of the show to see if the musical bronies would notice and they did. I think the big one was something called a deceptive cadence which is exactly what the character was..
I think you should react to Winter Wrap Up or the Smile song they’re both very cherished in the fandom!
You should do "the Moon Rises"! It's the counter point to Lullaby for a Princess. There's also a version of Lullaby for a princess that is from the other pony's perspective called "Luna's Soliloquy." There's a few videos that put them together in a duet form so you can really compare the two.
PLEASE REACT TO "PLAY YOUR PART" OR "UNLEASH THE MAGIC" THEY ARE BOTH SO GOOD
Seeing all this really bringing me back to my childhood. I cant help but go back to these songs because they’re genuinely good. Its hilarious but, they know how to make music.
so exited!
Watching this episode as a kid was one hell of an experience, I was obsessed with this song
If you're reacting to MLP songs you definitely need to react to The Smile Song!
The composer for MLP:FiM, Daniel Ingram is a master of the craft. So much variety in the soundtrack, and bangers like “This Day Aria” are him at his best... For what was meant to just be a merchandising piece for little girl pony toys! Yes, they got Lauren Faust specifically to give it something more, but I doubt anyone expected not just how popular this was but how GOOD, too!
HECK YEAH
YEAH
These memories are coming back to me 😌
1:48 the moment where David questions what the heck happened to his life that this sentece makes any sense :D
also: A Kirin Tale (also from MLP) would be a very nice song to react to
your passion and personality is so wholesome to watch
Hooman really needs to do Pinkie Pie's "Smile Song"!
I still remember being constantly astonished with the music in the show as a child
I'm a big fan of the song "The magic inside", from My Little Pony Season 5. I would love to see your reaction to it!
This song was like my whole childhood I listened it to constantly
Damn nostalgic
Honestly I feel like you should listen to something like... Apples to the Core from the MLP season 4 episode "Pinkie Apple Pie". I think that song is so good musically because it does a great job depicting the characters through the instrumental during their verses. It's also a completely under appreciated song and deserves some love. In fact, just.... Literally do *any* song from MLP. They're all fantastic, I can't think of a single one I don't like.
But If you wanna check out a pony song that's well known for being good, I recommend Winter Wrap Up!
@Paige Curtis Its like, one of my favourite songs from the show. Definitely in the top 3, maybe even tied for first
This version of MLP was crazy. I can honestly say that every single song throughout its entire run was good. Lots of very different types of songs, but no songs I would label as bad. Hope you listen to more of them!
