    I'm well aware that becoming an alicorn does not make you immortal. It has hardly anything to do with it, really. I was pointing more toward the direction of Twilight gaining responsibility as ruler after Celestia. Without immortality, her time as ruler would be utterly short. I always imagined she would rule at a certain point, so she must become immortal at some point.
    And who says she wouldn't be immortal after becoming an alicorn? It's highly possible, anyway. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but please don't go saying I'm wrong about my own lyrics. No hard feelings to anyone.

    (chorus)
    Remembrance, part of every life
    Num'rous regrets, the art of passing time
    Not one forgets, spent nights of chasing days
    Eternal rest, to witness being erased
    To witness being erased
    (v1)
    It is seldom seen in this world of now
    It is welcome, universe and out
    It is seen, only from eyes of thine
    Is it free? 'Tis only by invite
    (repeat chorus)
    Remembrance, part of every life
    Num'rous regrets, the art of passing time
    Not one forgets, spent nights of chasing days
    Eternal rest, to witness being erased
    To witness being erased
    (v2)
    It is ponderous, willing to know my fate
    In its longest lingering while to wait
    I can see, memory taken tolls
    I'm not ready, ready to let them go
    (repeat chorus)
    Remembrance, part of every life
    Num'rous regrets, the art of passing time
    No one forgets, spent nights of chasing days
    Eternal rest, to witness being erased

    "It is ponderous, willing to know my fate. In its longest lingering while to wait. I can see, memory taken tolls.I'm not ready, ready to let them go"
    This gets me every time right in the feels Q_Q.
    In my head when I listen to this song I just imagine that Twilight is heartbroken after the last of her friends has passed away. Twilight is looking for a way to remove the pain she is feeling from this. She realizes that the only way to get rid of the pain that is agonizing her is to forget her memories with her friends since its her memories that are causing her this pain. Twilight refuses to forget her friends since life without these memories she holds dear would be a fate far worse. Best to have known friendship and lost then to never have friends at all.

    I see Twilight a few hundred years into the future, and she is visiting the graves of her friends. As the song progresses, I see Twilight flash back to the day before each of the Mane 6 died. Pinkie would have a heart attack, Fluttershy would die in her sleep, Rainbow would be involved in an accident, Rarity's would be work related, and Applejack would die mysteriously while staying in Twilight's castle.

      @@daelen.cclark well, eating too much sweets can make plague build up on your heart and arteries near the heart will eventually lead to a heart attack, and flying or driving too fast can eventually cause you to crash which some crashes are fatal, and some people die in their sleep either because of poisoning or a sudden stroke, and before the safety rules and stuff were set in, companies made their workers die on the job, like someone got grinded up in a gear while trying to fix the gear and the triangle waist factory fire where hundreds of women who worked there died of smoke inhalation, etc.
      So, it's a high possibility that Pinkie Died of a heart attack because she ate unhealthy foods, Rarity could have gotten hit in the head with a 2nd sewing machine that was on a high shelf that broke and cause the 2nd sewing machine to fall and hit her head and caused to have a broken skull that eventually led to her death, and Applejack could have died of Cyanide poisoning since apple seeds contain cyanide, Rainbow dash could have flown then experienced a sudden wing fracture that could have caused her to lose control which she flew and crashed into a mountain and died, and Fluttershy could have died of a sudden stroke.

I made my first true friend through this show, and now we dont really talk anymore. I'm not ready to let her go, I'm not ready to leave that part of me behind.

    Wow! That's an intense discussion on immortality! XD Alright, I think it's time I put my words in on the matter.
    So, Megan McCarthy - a writer for MLP:FiM - pointed out that Twilight will not outlive her friends, correct?
    If so, the way she worded it still leaves Twilight's fate open to several directions.
    On one side, she could be implying that Twilight is, simply put, not immortal. And being an Alicorn, she would only have the aspects of the three pony races, as opposed to an extended period of life.
    On a different side, she could be implying that - downer incoming - Twilight dies. That is to say, if she were to become immortal, she would be killed before she had a chance to live longer than her friends. She would die before her friends died.
    Putting death aside, remember that there's also a chance that Twilight could become the ruler one day, being put in charge after Celestia's rule. It wouldn't make any sense for her to not live a long time if she were to claim that position.
    Besides, maybe Megan will change her mind. :\
    Anyway, I'm amazed to see all the feedback this song has received! And 50,000 views!?!? WHAT!?!?!?

      Personally, I've never been a fan of the idea of Twilght being immortal, so I was relieved when Megan said she wasn't. This is because the idea of being immortal, to me, is absolutely terrifying. Seeing everyone and everything you hold dear break down and die around you, over and over, while you never change, never able to grow old with those you love... Such a fate is something that scares me almost more than anything, including death. With this in mind, the thought of such being the fate of a character I hold dear is something I most certainly am not a fan of.
      That having been said, this is still a GREAT song about death and loss in general, and it brings a tear to my eye. Great work on it, guy!

    I love how I can hear every individual voice singing in harmony. Each individual is dead (to me). I never knew them, but I know they were great ponies and now they are gone - each subject to the same undeserved tragedy of inevitable death.
    It sent shivers down my spine hearing the little girl sing about the awareness of her own mortality before joining the choir as one of the individuals.
    And the image fits so well with the song. It sounds like they are singing "remember us" to Twilight. She holds the world in her hooves in the form of her memories amongst the dark void behind her because she and her memories are the only things that survive the consuming void of death. That's why the memories are in the form of a globe (to me). The remembrance she holds so heavily is the world to these ponies because the memories are the only thing that remains of their individuality after they are gone. After long enough, everything that made each of these ponies special / distinct will be gone, which is why the individuality in each of their voices give me a heavier sense of loss.

      1. Some people turned MLP into a religion called Celestianism. It teaches that we go to Equestria after we die. Celestianism isn't even a joke (or at least isn't always a joke - there are some trolls, as there always are with weird cults and new religious movements), it's something some of them legitimately believe in.
      2. Why would you want to see their world? It's got nice people/ponies, but Equestria is genuinely terrifying. It seems to get invaded at least once a year, plants and wild animals are constantly trying to kill you, and there's a suspiciously high number of orphanages.

      This, this is utter loss, remembrance and depending on view... hope.
      I fear the loss this song describes that may be coming but the important thing is to cherish and remember. No matter what happens, hope and remembrance.

    • @ganondorfchampin
      @ganondorfchampin 10 років тому +2

      Mr.Russkij Lullaby for a Princess was never that sad. A little said, yes, but it was just a really good song that got extremely popular. The only songs from the fandom which I think might be sadder than this one are "Blank Pages", which is about the loss of memory, and "Wish List", which is about self loathing.

    • @MRRusskij
      @MRRusskij 10 років тому +3

      ganondorfchampin I guess it depends on personal view. This song comes off as bittersweet to me rather then sad. Twilight has been granted the greatest gift her teacher could give her alongside her complete trust, and yet, it could mean Twilight might lose something very dear to her. And she simply contemplates all of this.

    • @ganondorfchampin
      @ganondorfchampin 10 років тому

      Mr.Russkij "Eternal rest, to witness being erased"
      The song is bittersweet, but the sad parts are very hard hitting, and the focus is clearly on the downer parts. Lullaby for a Princess isn't as hard hitting, first we know Luna is going to return eventually, and second, the theme has been done to death, for example "Home" by Jeff Burgess. Admittedly immortality has also been done to death, both for Celestia and Twilight (though I prefer Celestia death songs), but here the way it's delivered is particularly punchy IMO.

    Memories are sometimes the worst gift mankind was given, and sometimes the best. My favorite memories are also the ones that make me the saddest. She was my best friend. Now, does she even remember me? I remember her. I would give almost anything to see her again. Maybe she's only a state away, but it feels like the entire universe stretches between us. Oh Hazel... will I ever see you again? I need to tell you something. Please don't make me leave it unsaid...

    The ideal for me would not be immortality,
    rather it would be the option of indefinite youth.
    The ideal would be to stay young and fit for as long as you choose, and then once you have decided you have lived long enough and are fulfilled with your life, be it in 100, 1000 or 1 million years, you can then opt out of immortality and then age again like normal and die gracefully.
    This is one step above immortality as it removes the potential downside of being to live forever.

    I've listened to, and have sung, this song so many times now. This song brings a tear to my eye, but not because of poor Twilight in particular.
    When I hear this song I don't think of Twilight, honestly, my thoughts go to the Bronies themselves. I'm reminded that, regardless of how great we are now, we will not last forever. Both the show and the fandom will begin to die away. Of course, the spark will remain, and the art will be just as fantastic, but I think of the friendships this community has brought me and how they to will be lost and eventually forgotten. I feel I may live to see the day Bronies outlive their own fandom.
    I'm sure you had your own intentions for writing this song, 4ever, but that's to story it speaks to me.

    Ok, how do you do it? How do you create some of the best songs I've ever heard? First Honesty, the Laughter, and now this. I can't describe to you the emotions this song makes me feel. Keep up this level of quality in your music. I can't get enough of it.

      Ecoyli Ellis For some people it’s built upon instinct, others through practice. Usually you can tell the difference.

    Yep, no doubt about it, this is a masterpiece, as are all of your other songs.
    Being a guy who thrives on melancholy and bittersweetness, this song has always resonated with me. When it came up in my playlist today, I had an epiphany: I realized I hadn't commented on any of your songs yet, despite loving all of them deeply for a long time. So, taking this opportunity, I decided to rectify that mistake and thank you not only for this one song, but for all of them. Emerald Eyes, all the other Chants, Pink Side of the Moon, Giggles & Gumdrops, Birdsong to name but a few; a meager example of your all-around excelence!
    Thank you for making such a wonderful music, it made me so much happier than I was before I started listening to you!

    Whenever I hear this song, I don't know whether to cry, panic, or sit still in awe. It's beautiful.

    Man, I wasn't in the community at the point this was made. It makes me sad for all the songs, memes, and stories I've missed out on until now.
    This song makes me think about mortality and the fact you can't turn back time to relive your "better" days. I think about all the things I used to do, the things I used to like, and the friends and people I've met over my years.
    So GG, thanks for making me think back to my old life.
    And thanks for the great song.

    I can't believe it's taken me this long to find this and the other chants on The Dreamer's Door! I've been on a bit of a nostalgia kick lately and this hit me just right in the feels~
