Against what you said, this song is one of my favorites. The guitar is so well done, the vocals are perfect, (minus the word forced, I think that was separated intentionally) and the backbeat keeps an incredible energy constantly flowing. I cannot see anything wrong with this song.
@JaMcIrr Yeah, vocals were quite difficult for this. There's such a difference in pitch between the chorus and verse, and I played with several different ways of singing it, but none sounded quite as good (to me.) Also played with the piano a bit, but couldn't find a way to work it in nicely... You'll also notice I keep the verse melodies minor, instead of doing that minor/major thing Eurobeat Brony does (which I love, but needed to simplify for punk/alternative style.) TLDR: Song was hard. ;p
I got goosebumps listening to this! This is so amazing! This is without a doubt going on my pony playlist! Another superb song! Even better than the original and Tombstones combined!
It's been a bit over two years and I think I've heard this song at least once every single day since then. No, really. This is probably my favorite pony song. XD
@WhitenedInk Lol, thank you! :3 So far as software, I use Pro Tools 8 with an MBox Pro Mini. My voice is recorded through an AKG C2000B mic and a Focusrite Platinum VoiceMaster Pre-amp. So far as what I'd recommend, depends on your budget and existing hardware. There are decent condenser microphones that can plug in via USB (Blue comes to mind), but if you have a DAW, any large diaphragm condenser mic is great for voice. The preamp is my secret, though. It makes things sound MUCH better.
I heard Eurobeat did a cover of this. Not even kidding, I honestly hear this as the original now even though it's technically a cover, love all your stuff Forest, keep it up!
@TaleshicMatera The majorty of the lyrics are verbatim, and can be found on Odyssey's bandcamp page. Here's the modified "nightmare" verse: I am the creature now That feasts upon your dreams And turns them to nightmares And now my anger will bring forth an infinite night
this is BY FAR my FAVORITE song of ALL TIME... Forest Rain, i love your music.... ESPECIALLY THIS ONE!!! thank you for this so much... i hope you keep doing what YOU love to do and dont let ANYBODY change who you want to be. you are amazing... you always were, and always will be Brohoof /)
A rock song that is one of my favorites to race to in Need For Speed. You sir have taken a song that was soothing and turned it into a rock song and did a damn good job on it.
Excellent cover, you have one my favourite voices (mostly because you're exactly in my range and I love singing along). Don't let all the haters get you down.
I give in man, This guy just about beats me in every single way! I hope you can put all of your tracks together into a single album which i can buy the shit out of :)
I once spent like a month in skyrim, I had a level 38 Nord full honed nordic armor, Honed nordic weapons 89 2 handed, completed dawnguard,the main questline, was the arch mage of the collage and was on THE LAST FIGHT on dragon born, then, poof, bye bye save, nice knowing you...
I didn't like this the first time I listened to it. Coming back? I love the shit out of this song. It's (arguably) better than the original, even. In between the raw energy of the guitar (can't get enough of 'em) and your vocals, it's great. Definitely one of my favorite musicians in the community right now.
Also, everypony should totally go spam Monochromatic Bay with love for quite possibly the most beautiful picture of Luna ever. (Click on the link in the description above, and download the full size version. It's awesome! ^.^ )
Anypony with Rock Band 3 needs to go get the RB3 Custom for this song. Check out the link in the description! (And tell me how hard/easy it is, cuz I suck at RB!)
Yo!!! I had just found the version I used to listen to, but then I decided to hear this one for the first time...damn! New favorite mlp remix, neigh song!
ERMAHGERD! That damn voice is amazing! You say that Euro's songs are nearly untouchable, but you beat the shit out of his, and i find this much better.
Bah. How do you only have 378 subs? My most favourite tracks belong to Eurobeat, Mandopony, Living Tombstone, Sound of the Aviators and yourself. Maybe I have a soft spot for lyrics in my songs, but I think you're up there with the best. I hope those numbers start to take off soon because more people deserve to hear your noise!
Whatever man don't listen to them man haters gonna hate because thats their thing and thats what they do and just so you know this is my favorite song about my favorite princess :3 keep up the good work and dont let these internet nobodies get you down
Brony musicians : the best song writers hollywood will never beat
***** I accept your opinion ^^
At least we can both agree they make good music.
I agree, brony musicians are tops!
Chrysanthi Paparouni brony music is good but mlp music is like stuck in your head so fucking long so catchy
We still here, and we still love you.

One of my all time favorites
I have no word that will describe the sheer awesomeness that is this song.
I got goosebumps listening to this! This is so amazing! This is without a doubt going on my pony playlist! Another superb song! Even better than the original and Tombstones combined!
It's been a bit over two years and I think I've heard this song at least once every single day since then. No, really. This is probably my favorite pony song. XD
I can't stop listening to it
it speaks to me.....
This is probably my favorite version of Luna, even more than the original 8'>
Thank you!
Ponies. Princesses. Luna. I love it!

How are you so good at so many types of songs?!?
You are probably the only brony musician whose every song sounds so completely professional.
maybe Glaze too ?
Joshua Stueck Go listen to black gryphon.
He'll blow your mind away also!
Brohoof /)
Yeah, Black Gryphon is definitely one of the greats. We've got a talented fandom.
(\
Joshua Stueck forest rain & black gryphon
+th3_0n1y_ G4m3r Black Rain.........I'm sorry :p
Two things:
1: Great version of the song.
2: Beautiful picture.
That is all.
I remember this came on Celestia Radio back in '12. Damn good times.
I heard Eurobeat did a cover of this. Not even kidding, I honestly hear this as the original now even though it's technically a cover, love all your stuff Forest, keep it up!
I just came back to this after 5 years... its still awesome
This really should be way more popular than it is now.
How have I not found this sooner? This is absolutely brilliant.
Beautiful.. Simply beautiful.
you just won a spot on my playlist...and belive me dude i dont put just any song there, great song
@TaleshicMatera The majorty of the lyrics are verbatim, and can be found on Odyssey's bandcamp page. Here's the modified "nightmare" verse:
I am the creature now
That feasts upon your dreams
And turns them to nightmares
And now my anger will bring forth an infinite night
@eddmario The second half of the second verse contains a modified version of the lyrics from Nightmare Mode. ^^
That chorus.... "Luna won't you cry for me!" Before I heard that, I just liked this cover.
Now? I bucking love it!
Why did I never listen to this before? I feel like a fool because I've been missing out on this great cover.
Forest best work ever! LUNA ROCKS!!!!!!!!
Can you post the lyrics, I noticed you took poetic liberty with another verse. Great cover, I really like her mane---the instrumentals.
Yes I will cry for you
this is BY FAR my FAVORITE song of ALL TIME... Forest Rain, i love your music.... ESPECIALLY THIS ONE!!! thank you for this so much... i hope you keep doing what YOU love to do and dont let ANYBODY change who you want to be. you are amazing... you always were, and always will be
Brohoof /)
this makes my lonely soul happy
This is fantastic, Forest! Please don't stop what you're doing!!!
It turned out awesome. Love the style.
Not just for ending, for the game and the fun, its really a perfect music.
A rock song that is one of my favorites to race to in Need For Speed. You sir have taken a song that was soothing and turned it into a rock song and did a damn good job on it.
one of my favorite songs its amazing
Awesome, simply and completely.
I love this mate! Sounds great and is a lot different than any other version I've heard. Keep on rockin' brony! /)

Excellent cover, you have one my favourite voices (mostly because you're exactly in my range and I love singing along). Don't let all the haters get you down.
I give in man, This guy just about beats me in every single way!
I hope you can put all of your tracks together into a single album which i can buy the shit out of :)
I listened this a few days ago, then i saw today that it made it to EQD. Congratz, you deserve it.
I have no words for how awesome this is :)
I enjoy your version, the rock twist is pretty cool.
This is great! I love the original, and this does it justice, especially since I like rock music a lot. Keep it up!
FR you are one of my inspirations to want to play guitar and make and narrate stories
"I am forced back into the start, is there any way to fix a broken heart?" That's what I say when I play a game and it doesn't save ;_;
ouch all that hard work gone am I right
I once spent like a month in skyrim, I had a level 38 Nord full honed nordic armor, Honed nordic weapons 89 2 handed, completed dawnguard,the main questline, was the arch mage of the collage and was on THE LAST FIGHT on dragon born, then, poof, bye bye save, nice knowing you...
