-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The night - quiet and mysterious - is Luna's responsibility and her one true love, but her years of raising the moon and stars have been met with cold indifference. As pain and jealousy weigh heavily on her mind, it seems that Equestria may have ignored their moon princess for one night too many...

Lyrics:
Now the hour has come at last
The soft and fading light
Has crossed the west horizon
And has bidden us goodnight
And what a lovely night it is
To walk a moonlit field
To see the softer shades
That are by starlight now revealed
So why is it that now,
When all is quiet and at rest
When candles glow and all the world
Is at its very best
The ponies of Equestria
Should lock themselves away
To shun the moon and wait instead
For Sister's sunny day?
In umbra Luna est (the moon is in shadow)
Am I so wrong to wish that they
Would see things like I do?
And am I so wrong to think
That they might love me too?
Why shouldn't they adore me?
Is it not within my right?
I'll not be overshadowed!
Mine is not the lesser light!
I've waited long enough now
For them all to come around
And though the Sun may plead and threaten,
The Moon will stand her ground
And all will know the wonder
Of my dark and jeweled sky
When all the world is wrapped
In an eternal lullaby
So say goodnight at this,
The final setting of the sun
Tomorrow dawns in darkness
The nighttime has begun!
Nocte! (night!)
Bruh why even years later, is everyone complaining about how a male is singing this? It takes a lot of talent to sing like that and honestly, the singers voice fits the song, regardless of his gender. Stop complaining and just enjoy the song, ya'll!
This is actually still my favorite version of the song.
@@RainbowberryForest Agreed. Might not be perfect, but it’s really good.
It even has a female version, so there is no need for people to still complain. XD And this is awesome for those who like the genderbent versions.
Who tf is complaining abt this!?! I love male versions of covers. If fpr no reason then i like imagining malw characters or what may be different voice or design etc.
Not to mention HOLY SHIT HES SLAYING THIS!!?! HOW COULD ANYONE COMPLAIN???
A mi me gusta tanto está versión como la versión femenina
Why does this fandom have such amazing songs
Because we have a lot of creativity and a great set of characters to work with...
+Shadow Spirit yeah! I mean, there's a lot of material to work haha
+Emphenia♆ What used to be shunned or hidden away in fear of what would be said... This fandom brings out everypony and is welcomed to the end... No fears, no regrets... Just dreams and love... Friendship is truly magic.
+◎Emphenon◎ They only reflect the awesomeness of the show; so the real question would be: "Why are these songs based on an amazing show?" and the answer would likely be; why not?
+◎Emphenon◎ because it's a beautiful and inspiring show. But hey, FNAF has pretty awesome songs too...
Why are people complaining about a male singing this? Just enjoy it.
ikr?
its good with a male voice...it takes skill.....besides if they want a female one, all they have to do is look for Eile Monty

holy crap, a civilized argument on UA-cam. this is a world's first!

Thank you.

HOW DARE YOU TELL ME TO ENJOY IT!
I can’t believe people make a Luna lyric version of Lullaby for a Princess when this perfect twin already exists for that song!!!
Yep! Same vibe
Redundant, bastardized parodies and remixes of original artists' already perfect music seems to be the brony community's forte. No shade, obviously I'm a brony myself, but I feel like Dane's actual musicality and genius is so overlooked in the sea of derivatives of his art.
The fact that the animation featuring she-who-must-not-be-named's ridiculously autotuned and lifeless version of this song has surpassed his original upload's viewcount and has allover gained much more traction than his and Kristen's original, subjectively superior versions cements this, and it's a shame. I almost wish he was less lenient about usage of his music and protected his IP more, even if I do admire the fact that he doesn't gatekeep his work.
@@MasqueradeRose For someone saying “no shade” you sure do have very strong feelings on the subject.
Yeah, the animated version has more views than the original. But if the creator is fine with it then I don’t really see the problem?
@@bea7823 There's not really a problem with it, no, so long as Ponyphonic is fine with it, that's their prerogative. The animation is good, and I understand why a version with animated visuals will garner more attention and hype than one without. I just think their choice of singer for the project was a shame and I'm not fond of how overlooked Dane and Kristen's versions are in favor of starpower.
I think you misunderstand my tone. My feelings on the matter aren't vitriolic, I'm just making an observation on what was at one point a longstanding trend in the Brony fandom (this most notably happened with Eurobeat's "Discord" as well, when TLT remixed it). Low-effort parodies and derivatives that rely on fandom gimmicks and big names seem to get more traction than their original and often superior counterparts, sometimes without much credit or fanfare for the original artist.
@@MasqueradeRose I would disagree on classifying the Discord remix as “low effort”, although I do agree it often misleads people into thinking it’s the original.
But I feel like I’m missing some context. Did the other singer do something bad I’m unaware of? You’re talking like it’s more than just a vocal preference, with the whole “she-who-must-not-be-named” thing.
Edit: Sorry, just a typo.
Now that Duocartoonist's incredible animation has released, I'm here to pay tribute to the original. Honestly I still think this is the best version; Ponyphonic just puts so much emotion into his songs, and his voice is truly phenomenal. His songs may be few and far between, but the quality surpasses every other musician in the fandom. From The Moon Rises, to Lullaby for a Princess, to Applejack (my favorite country song ever) to Walls, to my favorite song of all time Harmony Ascendant, Ponyphonic knocks it out of the park every time he composes. Utterly phenomenal work. Ponyphonic has well earned the honor of being my favorite brony musician. I cant wait to hear what he comes out with next.
:,) Rip Duocartoonists
@@crashboxsinofstars2865 what happened to him?
@@haroon23tt55 *I* think They got a cease and desist on their animimations by hasbro,
But all we know collectively is that they just... disappeared...
Dw, PonyPreservations reuploaded Duo's video! The ElieMonty vocals version lives!
I still believe this version to be superior. Not to take anything from Kristen, but this version has so much more emotion. This song swells within you. This was perfect as it was. Any other version is but a pale imitation.
I feel the same
Did you listen to this one first?
I did.
Thank you I sang this song y'all!!!!!
i absolutely agree
Still one of my favorite performances from the fandom. What I wouldn't give for a fraction of that musical ability :-)
Fun fact, musical ability is completely learnable, and the voice can be trained. Everything can be achieved from zero.
Draconix Wingforged how bout perfect pitch?
Леонид Старыгин with a ton of practice, yes.
This is my favorite version. His voice is really dramatic and regal. Idgaf if Luna is a girl and AHHH whatever, this is still one of the most hard-hitting Luna songs to date.
Just because it's a guy doesn't mean it's not good. I think it's good.
I like the female version, but this just has so much more emotion, and how to say it? Musicality. You're not just singing the notes, you're adding that little bit more that makes all the difference. Great job!!
Sounds like a villain song from disney O.o
Ya it does ... It kind of sounds like hellfire a bit
It reminds me a lot of Aladdin.
***** It might be the drums... just saying.
True
It sounds like klarion the witch boy from dc
I find the difference between this version and EileMonty's cover truly astounding. By that I mean the singing voice somehow made the song style different. This version makes me think of a stage musical like les mis, but eilemonty's is a lot more like a Disney movie song.
I think its mostly because this guy has a stage voice, eilemonty has a recording voice.
I have a chill voice
*[Intro instrumental]:*
*Luna walks out of the shadows of the treeline. She appears as she did in episode 2, but her cutie mark consists of only the Moon. Mimic Celestia walking out of the castle in the _Lullaby for a Princess_ animation as a minor nod to sisterly similarities.
*Now the hour has come at last,*
*This soft and fading light,*
*Has crossed the west horizon*
*And has bidden us goodnight.*
*She stands atop a hill, the camera panning across the meadow before her. The full moon is visible in the sky.
*And what a lovely night it is,*
*To walk a moonlit field,*
*Transition to Luna walking through the field of night-blooming flowers, a quiet smile upon her face.
*And see the softer shades*
*That are by starlight now revealed.*
*Camera angles to a low vantage point, allowing for a clear view of the flowers and grass tinted blue under the moonlight, allowing for a shot of Luna lovingly caresses the moonflowers. She pauses as a look of pain flickers across her face.
*So why is it that now,*
*When all is quiet and at rest,*
*Brief montage of particularly noisy, active, or dangerous diurnal animals heading to sleep.
*When candles glow and all the world*
*Is at its very best,*
*She stands atop a cloud, gazing over a beautiful moonlit landscape. Moon has noticeably moved across the sky.
*The ponies of Equestria*
*Should lock themselves away,*
*To shun the Moon and wait instead*
*For Sister's sunny day?*
*Her gaze shifts to an idyllic rustic village. The only ponies still outside turn away from the night and head in, doors locking and windows slamming shut as they look nervously into the dark. Camera pans back to show a still, unlit town.
*_I N U M B R A L U N A E S T ._*
*Luna looks into a pool of water, gazing at her own face. She takes off her crown to stare at it before sighing and taking flight. Her reflection stays a bit longer, it's eyes turning to slits as it turns to watch her leave.
*Am I so wrong to wish that they*
*Would see things like I do?*
*Montage of still images in the style of WarpOut's _Lullaby for a Princess_ animation with ponies favoring and praising Celestia over Luna. More impressive gifts, larger crowds, more attention to their respective courts, and others. With each new picture the shadows over Luna grow darker. Include parts of scenery suggestive of Nightmare Moon or her eye, to represent her growing influence over Luna.
*And am I so wrong to think*
*That they might love me too?*
*Montage continues.
*Why shouldn't they adore me?*
*Celestia sits on her throne, presiding over a large group of ponies. Cut to Luna sitting upon her's, the throne room dark and terribly empty.
*Is it not within my right?*
*I'll not be overshadowed,*
*Mine is not the lesser light!*
*Her face fills with rage as she leaves, tearing the doors from their hinges. A black blotch is visible around her cutie mark. The Moon visibly inches towards the horizon before coming to a complete stop.
*I've waited long enough now*
*For them all to come around,*
*Camera cuts to directly in front of Luna, looking into her angry face. In the background, translucent images of the past flicker by, each firming her resolve.
*And though the Sun may plead and threaten,*
*The Moon will stand her ground!*
*Luna storms into Celestia's room. We only see their shadows as they argue, until the larger one flies away.
*And all will know the wonder*
*Of my dark and jeweled sky!*
*Luna stands on a castle balcony, looking over the kingdom with a determined visage. The Sun has begun to rise, but she does not move the Moon. The darkness around her cutie mark has increased in size, looking less like a natural part of her and more like a stain. Camera focuses on her blue mane as it starts to slowly wave from invisible winds, the speed increasing until at "jeweled sky" it erupts into a starry mane. At the very edge of the camera, the dark stain on her cutie mark slowly continues to spread.
*As all the world is wrapped*
*In an eternal lullaby!*
*Cut to a distance view. The figure of Luna is vaguely visible, her eyes glowing white. The night radiates from her and slowly begins to fill the sky, flowing in an almost organic manner as it replaces the normal morning sky.
*So say goodnight to this,*
*The final setting of the Sun!*
*Focus switches to the horizon. The Moon is far higher than before. Part of the spreading night stretches outwards, forming what resembles a claw that takes hold of the Sun and physically drags it down past the horizon. The camera leaves before we see it entirely disappear. Rather than normal animation, this section is a rapid sequence of stills to emphasize the unnaturalness of it.
*Tomorrow dawns in darkness,*
*Return to the castle. It is drawn in a vaguely more sinister way. Luna stands, closely resembling her current self, as shadows begin to edge in on her. Vague images of starring eyes are visible within.
*The nighttime has begun!*
*The shadows reach her. The black stain around her cutie mark spreads, being replaced with the light purple that surrounds Nightmare Moon's. Darkness spirals around her, keeping us from seeing as she transforms.
*_N O C T E ._*
*Nightmare Moon rears as lightning flashes across the night sky, visibly laughing.
*[Closing chords]:*
*Zoom in to NMM's face. Then to eye. Then on the last note, the eye becomes transparent, showing Luna as a child (her cutie mark as it currently is, not the purer thing that it once was) leaning on her hooves against the inside of the eye, looking out with horror as tears stream from her eyes. Her pupils dart around frantically as though begging for help.
HOLY FRICK WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE LIKES
I've heard people say that they get "chills" of "goosebumps" when hearing certain songs, and I didn't really know what that meant... until I heard this song.
Good job
Seven Years. Seven Years, and this is still the song that I think is the most emotional that I have ever heard from this fandom. You can feel it if you let yourself. You can feel the emotion of this song right inside your chest, you can hear him pushing it beautifully into the words like few other have ever done. After so many years, this version of the song is the best.
This is one of the songs that you can't forget the lyrics to over time. It's got a place in my heart.
I raise a toast, to the great times had with this song, and to better times ahead, for all of us.
I love how the singer manages to portray the forcefullness that Luna always puts in her voice. That power.
The original has so much more emotion! I love it.
I actually thought I would end up liking a female cover better myself, since I usually lean more towards a girl singing from a girl's perspective, and the same for guys. But, I've heard many versions (including EileMonty's), and yet I still can't help but prefer this version above them. I just think his voice better suits this song and type of music. He puts more emotion into it, with out having to be over the top or dragging out certain parts that I've heard many of the female covers try to do. I think the one that came the closest was the German cover by Beispielmusik.
(can't seem to post on the main thread, so I'll respond to this... sorta)
Wow, this is pretty dang good as well (coming from the Lullaby for a
Princess crowd). I am particularly pleased to hear a good male singer
behind it; gives a guy like me confidence. : )
I particularly like the nice creeping-in organ/choir effects, and the deliberate salting of Latin-ate phrases. Beautiful.
I, too, generally prefer a song in it's original(ly gendered) voice, but this was pretty dang good.
I actually only sleep for maybe five hours then walk to the barn in the moonlight..
I’ve just gone and listened to that german cover - and oh my god you are so right. It’s got that lovely dark tone
My man's got a voice, well done
can i just say how absolutely GENIUS this song is?? all of your music in fact, tells such a complete and tangible story in every lyric and note i just cant get over 00:40 when he asks "why," there's those very very subtle drums in the background that indicate a brewing rage it's just so... i can't even, it's just so amazing! even though most listeners might not catch it, they could feel the emotion that's being conveyed
Wow, this is absolutely incredible. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I think this belongs on Broadway. I can totally picture the struggle between Celestia and Luna being a musical all its own, kind of like "Wicked." And this song would be Luna's theme or something like that. Anyway, I'm rambling now...excellent work!
have you heard the song "Moonrise" by The L-Train? It is basically what you are discribing here. And it's almost as good as this song.
=D We must have a pony Broadway musical production parody. But, then again, if even Hasbro can't make show-accurate plushies, how are we supposed to make good costumes?
All the versions of this song are excellent, and both Kristen and EileMonty do amazing jobs with it... but this one will always be closest to my heart as it was one of the first I heard on joining the fandom in spring 2012. The male voice honestly doesn't bother me at all -- and yes, this would be my Desert Island The Moon Rises. If you see what I mean!
i wish this version had the “it comes to this at last i will no longer yield the sky, if that cannot love but one princess alone. See the moon is rising she has come to claim the heavens for her own!” love that part
I think his voice fits Luna perfectly! I think the gender-bent voice for Luna should be his.
I hate when people make another version of song with different vocals and it get 4 million more views and the original gets lost and then people complain how the original song's vocals are bad and the new one is much better. These vocals are so much better! I tried getting people to link this video when people were reacting to the animation but I was lost in the comments and only the animation was linked in a lot of the videos, I sorry.
I love how Nightmare Moon would've been prevented if everyone could've just stayed out at night, look at the sky, and not favor one royal over another
Still waiting for YOU (this vocalists) to sing the updated version with the second verse
Yes we are all waiting.
Any day now >.<
I hope...
Adaphion Kaparose me too, I love this one the most a full version of this one would be like a dream coming true for me. xD
Ok this isn't about your comment I just had to I Love your profile pic from miss kobayashie dragion maid one of my favorite animes
Oh my dear lord... you sing like an angel! Seriously, I nearly cried because this is so good!
Like a dark angel if you know what I mean😉
this is a perfect song for Luna's fall
I was obsessed with this song when I was younger, man.
its teetering on the edge of prince of Egypt music and Disney music
I did this song for a talent show. I won 1st place
+Quinn Pineiro Cool!
+Quinn Pineiro Standing O?
+Igarappappa Yes as a matter of fact
Quinn Pineiro
Nice! :D
amazing :3
i stay up a bit to see the beautiful moon
Keira Cuch Me too :D
yea!
Keira Cuch Its epic :P
myesh!
Keira Cuch EPIC AS EPIC
I'm not even apart if the fandom but I find myself fascinated and entrapped by all of the fanmade songs....
I still come back to this for the original voice. The new version is a great cover, but it will never compare to this.
The vocal performance in this song is exquisite!
I honor you for creating this lovely song.
The percussion really makes the vibe
I am in choir, my choir teacher is really picky, and when I say picky I mean like extremely, he would not have one bad thing to say about this, not the diction, dynamics, lyrics, or anything. And no I am not trying to brag ,at all, but he is pretty much the best. As in he cares about how the music sounds, not like a second grader trying to teach someone how to paint but like an adult who wants the picture to look right.
I just have to come back to this from time to time, despite it being a male voice, just nothing can beat the original, the female covers are very good but they just don't do this amazing song justice, the emotion and power in this just give me shivers
Still good two years later.
Seven years later and this is still one of my all time favorites and still this version gives me goosebumps even I listen to it. Perfection
Is it weird that I feel like the original male vocals here are more powerful?
Still need the full song in THIS version
2012 version will always be the best version.
This is still the best version in IMO!
this is the kind of shit I wish people would think of when they hear 'brony'. not fucking rule thirty four and guys playing with plastic horsies. Its truly amazing that people could make stuff so epic out of something so "fucking gay bruh".
Exactly! This song gives me shivers up my spine every time I listen to it.
The show is shit, this is good. :)
Ean Haworth Actually the show is not shit. It's sweet and can help you relax. You can have a laugh at Pinkie Pie, or want some of Rarity's dresses to come in human form. You can sit back and enjoy the easygoing contest between Rainbow Dash and Applejack. You can cheer on Twilight or have so fun with Discord. It's not shit. Just because YOU don't like it does NOT mean it's shit.
Dude, you would not believe how many people have lost this kind of conversation to me. (The only enjoyable character is "Q", I mean Discord.)
See first comment.
In a male voice, I can picture a heart broken prince swearing vengeance against his older brother for stealing his rightful place as king 👑👑👑
*Loki?*
Sorry I’ll go away now
Prince John
See that dislike bar? No, you can't. It's like it's not even there at all.
LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY, DAMN IT!!!
May your words repel the evil of that dislike bar.
Yes let's keep it that way please
why are there even any dislikes at all
All of the sudden 99 people were so in love with this song they flipped their laptop upside down and pressed the like button
that must be it
Slowly raise the volume over the course of the song. It's divine.
12 years later and it still blows my mind. I remember the fandom quite literally "leveled up" after this came out.
To be honest, all the female covers I've heard of this sound too... sweet. This is Luna giving in. This is not a sweet and delicate song, and I find the deeper, richer voice suits it well. As for people saying "But its a dude singing for a chick!" need to stop gendering voices. It's perfect the way it is.
In other words, if it was sung by a woman, the more appropriate range would be a contralto (the darkest feminine voice range, covering E3 - F5). A low alto and a high tenor (highest natural male voice) can come really close in range so yeah, there should be some overlap between which songs are for women and which are for men.
To be honest, Ellie's cover was very well done... Not only does she sing beautifully, but she also knows how to act. The emotion in her cover hit me more than this version, which doesn't mean I don't like it! It's just that Ellie's is perfect in my opinion. But I can see where you're coming from, I also dislike most female covers of the song.
"Stop gendering voices"... I LOVE that. A big, huge amen. He does such an amazing job at portraying the emotion here and it's STUNNING.
I think the idea is that it starts off sweet as Luna sings, until that is her anger around 'Should lock themselves away.' in which is starts to get lower as bitterness envelopes her heart.
At "Why shouldn't they adore me.' I'm thinking her voice turns more richer as you suggest, she is basically giving in at these parts. So her sweet voice turning to more deeper tones would make sense.
I prefer this vers
I just have to say, I have loved this song for a while. One of my favorite parts is "So say goodnight at this, the final setting of the sun! Tomorrow dawns in darkness, the nighttime has begun!" Just the words alone give me chills. You, sir, know how to write an evil villain! *applauds*
i get shivers listening to this song..
Good shivers, not bad ones :D
More than 7 years later, and it still gives me goosebumps. Espcially the final verse where you can just feel Luna going from legitimate upset to transformating into Nightmare Moon.
This song reminded me of one of those hauntingly beautiful Disney songs... THE FEELS MAN, THE FEELS.
who ever sung this song, your a good singer.
Dear PonyPhonic,
I just wanted to say that this is one of my favorite of your songs! Also, using the one of the instrumental versions, I recently sang this in front of my Advanced Choir class. They seemed to really enjoy it, almost as much as I did singing it. Thank you for bringing us your wonderful music!
PS: I gave you guys credit for making the song and stuff. :)
This sounds like a Disney villain song. And it's beautifu
Personally, while I really enjoy the original for the sad emotion, I honestly think EileMonty nailed the jealous anger.
Male luna sounds way better than the female ones in the animation.
I like the female ones more but this is still really amazing and good
The animation's out, but I returned here because I prefer the vocals of this version.
I was expecting a girl but I have to admit this guys voice is amazing!
So this is the original of the moon also rises song...its really good! His voice is soft and strong. Now I want to hear what the female and male versions would sound like together!
First time hearing this, give me chills down to my spine
Om. My. God!
How is it even possile for someone to have such a beautiul, amazing voice?! I swear you could rule the world with a voice so wonderful!
I always love coming back to this song, his voice is just so beautiful.
Ponyphonic, I just want to say, you are one of the most amazing composers in the world. I will never live up to your greatness as the simple singer songwriter I am.
How did I have no idea this existed and was the original!? This is so much better! No offense to the lady who sung the one in that animation, she sounded pretty, but her inflections were kind of off and it always bothered me. (For example: When she says "See things like I do" it doesn't flow well with the rest of the song.)
Not only that, I can also clearly relate to the male voice SOOOO much better.
'the nighttime has begun' (gets goosebumps)
I love both versions of this song, Ponyphonic's and Kristen's.
They both convey a bit more emotion at different points, but they're both Luna descending into her hatred and bitter anger, and I think they're both beautiful. This is amazing guys.
This is one of the songs i love putting in the background and listening to it for hours as it puts me in the perfect mood to read.
cant stop listening to this ;-;
if princess luna was a male character this would be her voice!
It’s always so nice to come back to this version 🧡
Beautiful!!
"Waits for sister's sunny days."
Me: Well, lets just its gives me sunburn and i have to go to school during her "Sunny days".
2:00 my favorite part it almost should like its swung but does not sound jazzlike its so beautiful. Don't get me wrong I like Elie Monte but this is so much better.
I think the original being sung by a male is perfect, his voice is beautiful and it fits Luna in a lot of ways. This is my favorite version of this lovely song!
Such strength in the vocals. Still get shivers everytime I hear it, as Luna's words paint a very vivid picture of what's going on and her own emotional state. Love it more every time.
It gives me jekyll and hyde ; confrontation vibes for some reason. He just sounds like he'd thrive in jekyll's role
this is still a great a song after all these years
This is the OG. I don't care how many views the cover has. This will always be the OG.
"When all the world is wrapped in a eternal lullaby!" is what made me love this song! I even had a dream that, that line was heard around the world! especially New York City's jumbo screen in Times Square. It threw the world planet into a state of fear and panic.
It's an absolute treat to hear this masterpiece. Looking forward to a future download :)
mam, this songs freaking old, i love it though XD
***** late nighters XD /)
+Erich H (Kinetic Spectrum) Heh, knew id find you here, (god this comment is old).
lol hi there Foolmeonce, and that it is XD
"THE MOON WILL STAND HER GROUND!" thats so amazing.
I remember i used to play this on loop when i was barely like 10 years, it used to calm me down enough to go to sleep
It was my safe place, thank you so much for creating this
I think of Loki when I hear the male version...
You mean... "The Original" Version..
Oh, yeah sorry haha...
CAKECAKECAKECAKE
Is good?...
YUMYUMYUMYUM
Even after all years this song still sends shivers down my spine like I'm hearing it for the first time ever
This has to be my all time favorite piece you guys have done so far.
I like this key! It gives me chills and the vocals are amazing. I think both versions both have their own majesty and are both amazing to listen for different reasons.
Not sure if I commented already so I just say it again. It's so amazing and still inspirational to me!
Absolute kudos to the singer, he has an excellent voice!
Thanks for reuploading.
I checked my old mlp links and didn't find it under the old one.
Good to see that it's not lost.
I like this version the best.
The male singing gives me a much better feeling towards nightmare moon and fits the song perfectly. Glad you stuck to it.
confirmed the best luna voice
On a side note...I just discovered there was more to it than just what was in this song! Where is the second verse at? D:
The extended version is new! I posted this song years ago and only recently added a new section that I felt was really needed. More info on that soonish...
+ponyphonic It better be you singing it >:c
Oh it is and he does not disappoint! What I have heard so far should have been part of the first song.
+Swarmage Well they said he was just the placeholder in the music video, so I was worried he wasn't going to release it on this channel with his voice
+Destin Bright No, Ellien? Monty is singing it to match Luna, I personally think that he should sing it, but at least we're getting an animation.
Like this that's simply a masterpiece
This is one of my very favorite songs ever. I must have listened to it hundreds of times, and often I take the time to sing it as well, ramping up the desperation and despair until it breaks with *spectacular* catharsis into MAD RETRIBUTION and BLIND RAGE! Few things reach me like this song does. Truly it's a masterpiece. I'm still looking for a female vocalist who can give it the right feel, but I think I may have found her. Hopefully she will complete this journey I have embarked upon. I pray you'll hear it when, or if, it comes to fruition.
I brought it to her attention but I am hesitant to pressure her, lest I damage her will to do it. Inspiration is a fragile thing.
