The Flim Flam Brothers Take it Up a Notch

...Or rather, take it up a step! Dimondium re-orchestrated the Flim Flam Brothers Song in G Major. The song was originally written in F Major, so this version has been taken up one step.

I find it really interesting how changing the key of a song can change its feel so dramatically. In this case, the Flim Flam Brothers Song sounds almost bizarrely cheery in G Major. Give it a listen and decide for yourself!

Watch Dimondium's version in the video, or download an mp3. Keep it up, Dimondium!

A Dark Song

This Day Aria is an extremely creepy song, but Dimondium has found a way to make it sound even more ominous. A simple key change to A major makes the whole thing sound quite a bit darker. It makes for an interesting listen. Check it out here.

You can visit Dimondium's Youtube channel for more neat music.

(By the way, I know we've used this picture a few times already, but it seems fitting to use it again. It seems to perfectly capture the essence of the song!)

(The picture also gives me nightmares.)

Don't You Worry Now Scootaloo (and a Request)

I think we can all agree that Scootaloo is awesome. Coconeru seems to think so, at least, since he wrote Scootaloo her very own piano ballad.

This song (it's called Don't You Worry Now Scootaloo) is fantastic. I'm impressed that Coconeru can come up with something that's great to listen to and appropriate to the character. Give it a listen!

On a different subject, we got a request for music written for violin or french horn. Can anybody help a fellow pony fan out?

Flim Flam Full Orchestration

Teslahead has written a great full orchestration of the Flim Flam Brothers Song. This arrangement is written for a whole variety of instruments, including flute, oboe, horn, bassoon, trombone, tuba, and even harp.

It's an excellent arrangement. It captures the character of the song just as it appeared in the show. Very well done, teslahead!

You can check out the sheet music here, or listen to a midi. Give it a listen!

Tabs by ESPPony

I love watching ESPPony's cover videos of pony songs. He is one really talented guy. And not only does he cover the songs—he writes tabs so other fans can play along, too!

Tonight, we have two tabs for songs ESPPony has covered in the past. The first is for Becoming Popular; you can watch ESPPony playing it in the embedded video. The tab is here.

The second is the Title Theme. You can find the video for that one here, then check out the tab. Excellent work, ESPPony!

Long Way from Equestria Project

One of the coolest things about this fandom is all the amazing and creative stuff we make when we work together. With this in mind, you should think about joining the Long Way from Equestria Project! It's shaping up to be a massive collaboration where we can all join together to sing some great music.

The video on the right (by BassBeastJD) explains the project. This is super stuff, so please think about adding your voice to the song.

We'll be putting a small ad for the project on top of the site for the time being. I'm looking forward to listening to this one!

Discord Piano Cover and Visualization

WeimTime007 has shared another great cover/visualization with us! These videos are always very cool, and WeimTime007 does an excellent job on them. (You can find other videos he's done by checking out his Youtube channel, or by searching for WeimTime007 in our search box down at the bottom of the page!)

Today's video is a piano cover of Discord (the Living Tombstone's remix). Watch the video to hear the piano cover and see a neat visualization of the song.

Many thanks, WeimTime007! Keep up the great work.

Oh, Lyra...

Coconeru is back! Not that he ever went away, but he's shared another fun original song, this time all about everypony's (some ponies') favorite background pony: Lyra.

This song is hilarious. The lyrics are making me giggle to myself as I'm writing this. I especially liked the line about Bon Bon ("she seems to change her voice and how she acts about once a week"). Classic background pony fandom. Well done, Coconeru!

Give the song a listen, and be sure to visit Coconeru's Youtube channel to find his other great songs.

Winter Wrap Up on the Banjo

I love, love, LOVE folk music. I swoon over the dulcimer, mandolin, and all things bluegrass. So I was extremely pleased to see these banjo tabs for Winter Wrap Up by bluegrassbrony. This song is truly charming with this folksy flair!

You can listen to bluegrassbrony playing the song in the video, and then play it yourself with the tablature. Don't forget bluegrassbrony's Youtube channel.

Thanks so much for sharing, bluegrassbrony. You've made my day!

One Cover and One Original

We have two fun songs to share with you tonight, both coming from zsanderson3. He did a cover and an original, and we're excited to feature both on the site.

The cover is an instrumental version of Find a Pet, which you can watch in the video or download as an mp3. It's well done; I can definitely imagine myself singing along to it karaoke-style. So thanks for that, zsanderson3!

The original song is called Deception, and zsanderson3 says it was inspired and based off of This Day Aria. It has the same creepy, cinematic feel to it, which I love. Listen to it here.
