What this song seems to be saying: that octavia has to realize that not everyone like classical, and she has to change up her moves. What people have interpreted this song as: octavia annihilating changelings
This song kicks off with one of the best vocal yells ever. That “If its groove you’re looking FOOOOOOOOOOOR” was so strong but so stable, it sounded so great. If I ever get famous and get chance to sing a cover of any song, I want to sing this very first so I come out the gate swinging
im a performer and am thinking of choreographing a concert version of this song that breaks out into a brawl (will keep you updated if this happens)@@Joaftheloaf
Funny thing, I originally had a metal type guitar solo that I had completely written out for that part (I don't know why, it didn't fit one single bit). So I showed it too some friends, and they realized that solo obviously didn't work, and I wanted to the get the song out that day, so I quickly recorded an improvised clean solo and then put it up. If I could go back now, I would totally make that a saxophone solo :D
Having listened to this one when I was like 14, and now being 10 years older, it certainly does feel pretty nice to come back to listen to it from times to times Just wanted to share some appreciation, thank you for putting out something that has been part of my regular playlist and has literally seen me grow into a whole another person baha Have a good one :)
I was never that much into the brony fandom (I was quite young when the fandom was at its peak and I wasn’t fully speaking English, so I had no idea what a “fandom” could be) but after watching the Polka Homage to the fandom and the songs in it, I kinda wish I could’ve partaken in it more than just talking about it with my friends. I have such nostalgia for mlp gen 4, and honestly I’m so glad I got to at least watch the show in its prime. Thank you for everything, mlp and brony fandom, and I hope gen 5 has equally good things in store for us!
I think this song was one of the biggest inspirations for me to start music the melody of this song has been in my head for years and always will thank you for this classic
Came back here cuz I'm a bit stressed out. My school has been cancelled and we are having online assignments all next week due to the corona virus. My mom has health issues which means if she gets it she will most likely die or come close to dying. I wanted something happy and inspiring from my childhood and ended up back here after finding myself humming it randomly. I'm now cheered up about my situation and am going to try to be more positive. Sometimes life can be bad but I'm going to get through it. Love this song and thank you for making it. :)
Funny thing, I'm in a situation that's also pretty bad because being a child in a relationship for 1 year where your stepmother has been abusing your father and hearing that you could be kiked out at any moment is pretty stressful , on a side note my dad is finaly divorced but is still in the fight for what was originally ours and what she stoll from us and still isn't giving back, I mean who steals a bike wich was a present to my 7 year old brother, shes just a peace of shit.

Yes, this is a girly show. There is no point in try to arguing about it. Its girly but have plot and charismatics characters, don't you all think its better to admit that is good even being girly than try to convince people that a show about colorfull ponies who has the magic of friendship isn't girly? I like it. It girly, fuck it, i liki it anyway because even being girly this show have all the things that makes a show worth to watch.
***** not just opinions. Its a show about colorfull ponies and friendship and princesses and lessons etc... It's made for little girls, even being worth to watch cause everything i already pointed. Sorry guys but let's face the reality. And go back to return of harmony and listen the dialog before discord get turned in stone... yeah...
Trancolon, does it erase the entire serie? Just because there is a finale with a bit of action, don't ignore what i said first. Its about colorful talking ponies and the power of friendship...
I don't know why, but every time i listen to this, i have the sudden urge to get up and just dance like i've never danced before. I must say good sir, you have done an AMAZING job on this song. I thank you very much for making a song that just puts a special kind of happy in me :)
Dude I NEED this on my spotify PLEASE 🥺 there are other really good mlp song creators out there with songs on Spotify but one of the GREATEST mlp fan made songs ISNT for some reason????
I don't know if this is obvious, but I wonder if the "even if this is not your type of show" has a double meaning, in relation to I guess giving MLP itself the benefit of the doubt to watch.
@@Joaftheloaf I don’t wanna be that guy but is there a possibility you of releasing this bad boy on streaming services? If not I completely understand 🥲
@@supergamer2323 Maybe. I’d have to find the original files which are stored in a hard drive deep in my closet that I haven’t turned on in 8 or so years. If I ever do release my songs on streaming I’ll make a community post about it to let y’all know. I think there are free download links in the description still. Depending on your streaming service you might be able to add it to your playlist. I have a bunch of songs not on Apple Music natively that I have uploaded to it.
Technically it's been six years of generation 4 now. MLP has been around for a few decades before it got REALLY popular. Though, at least we know when the show ends... Then Generation 5 will start! =D
Jfc how is this song 10 years old. I remember listening to this when it was new out, playing BO2 with friends and jamming yo joaftheloaf and vocalscore
1. This is amazing, and has been on repeat on my ipod for days. 2. I absolutely LOVE your voice too. 3. Thanks so much for putting all the links and the tabs and the midi up.
I love your voice, and music style. I've been singing to this for a little bit and I think I finally have found a style of singing that I'm actually good at. Thank you. You have inspired me, and given me hope. For that I have to thank you again.
+Joaftheloaf is it possible I can use this song in the future for a fan-fic I am writing I might make a parody of this song is I don't use it for this series
Even though this doesn't hold up as much after all these years I still love what it represents for me. When the fandom was at its height and these was so much passion for all the works being made makes me glad I got into the show when I did
Maybe it's the influence of Kanashii"s animation, but this song makes you feel like an action hero fighting a losing battle. Like, the good part of that feeling
Joaf you probably won't even see this but nevertheless, i absolutely LOVE your voice. It sounds absolutely fantastic. If you released like an album, I would buy it and I wouldn't be the only one. You have an amazing voice and I can't even fathom how muc I love it. Don't stop singing
ya know, im not even interested in mlp, but ... THIS IS AMAZING. really, you have no idea how hard it is for me to find this kind of jazz, especially GOOD jazz. nice work
You've just gotta let it go...let it go, let it goooo, let it g-"No! You're not bringing that up! Get it out. Get it ouuut. Get this song out of my head. Get it out. Get it ouuuut. I'll sing anything else instead!"
I really like this swing-jazz-upbeat kind of style to this. So good. Well done, sir. For the first song I've ever heard of your work, I'd say you've won over another listener.
Fucking amazing. Best thing to come out of this fandom hands down. Once Upon a Time in Canterlot is also a brilliant video to go along with this. A revamped version of the video should be made that covers the entire song and maybe improves the animation a bit.
sounds great only problem i have is that, to me at least, is that the vocals cover the instruments quite a few times and throws me out of the groove. overall really good nonetheless
I remember playing this while i was taking over an outpost in Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon; it must have been the first time i applied music to anything, and it felt amazing
Oh wow the bass tabs are really easy! I could never multi task by playing my bass and sing at the same time, but this may be an exception... YAY! :D Awesome music by the way!
The only place I had ever heard this song at was once upon a time by kandashiipanda, so when I stumbled upon it here, I thought it was a ponified version of the song that KP used. Come to find out that this IS the song (s)he used! Good job on making me think this was a professional song.
Some of us don't even watch the show, or have only seen a few episodes, I've seen 1st and half of the 2nd season, and have just been listening, watching and browsing Music, Video's and Artwork.
I love this song, I listen to it a couple of times a week because I have it in my play list of the car and my mobile phone thanks for putting the direct download :) always be a fan of Joaftheloaf
