Daring-Do and the Musical Theme

Everypony's favorite adventurer/archeologist is definitely Daring-Do. She is just so cool! I'm sure she has movies as well as books dedicated to her stories.

Well, if those movies need a theme song for Daring-Do, then Thunder Dash is here to help. He wrote a great theme for Daring-Do called Overcome. You can listen to it in the video. It definitely captures her spirit!

Thanks for sharing, Thunder Dash!

Elements of Insanity

IvoryBrony does some great musical projects. It's always a pleasure to hear from him and get to share his work on the site.

This time, IvoryBrony has shared two parts of an electronic music series, Elements of Insanity. The first is The Element of Magic, and the second is Element of Laughter. Check them out on Soundcloud. They sound awesome! I hope we get to hear the rest of this series at some point.

Thanks, IvoryBrony! (Credit for the picture to TehJadeh.)

I Am Iron Man—I mean, Octavia

I think Octavia is my favorite background pony. She's one of my favorites, that's for sure. I'd love to have an episode about her backstory.

Until we get that episode, we have fan music to provide us with Octavia goodness. BassBeastJD shared an original song called I Am Octavia. It's a beautiful orchestral piece. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Give it a listen!

Thanks for sharing, BassBeastJD!

Diiiscoooord!

I dedicate tonight to the patchwork villain, the lord of chaos—Discord. We already shared an acoustic version of Discord (original by Eurobeat Brony).

Now we have a cover of a remix of Discord. Specifically, The Living Tombstone's great remix of Discord, arranged for chamber music by Thunder Dash. Enjoy it with a glass of chocolate rain (take the glass, leave the rain). Listen to it on Soundcloud, check out the score, or download the individual parts.

Thanks for sharing, Thunder Dash!

Acoustic Discord

A couple of days ago, we posted an acoustic cover of Rainbow Factory by EnergyBrony. It sounded awesome, and it was really fun to hear a new take on a popular fan song.

Well, today EnergyBrony is back with an acoustic cover of one of my favorite fan songs, Discord. If you've never listened to the original, you're missing out! And if you have listened to the original a few (hundred) times, then check out this awesome new version.

Thanks for sharing, EnergyBrony!

Original: From Here

Applebloom is so stinkin' adorable. She was my favorite pony for a while (before I came to know the marshmallow-y goodness that is Sweetie Belle).

4everfreebrony shared an original song about Applebloom, From Here. This song is really lovely. 4everfreebrony is a talented guitarist and vocalist, and the lyrics are beautiful and touching. Give it a listen!

Thanks so much for sharing, 4everfreebrony!

Do You Want to Help Twilight Win the Crown?

If you had a chance to help out Twilight Sparkle, wouldn't you jump at the opportunity? What if the fate of Equestria depended on your help?

Well, you can help out with the newest pony music project from BassBeastJD. This project is similar to the Massive Smile Project and the Long Way from Equestria Project, but it's for the song from the Equestria Girls movie, Helping Twilight Win the Crown.

Check out the video for more details. We can't wait to see how this project turns out!

Monster for Marching Band

...And we have another fantastic cover of a fantastic fan song, this time from our own Dimondium.

The original song is Monster, by Aviators and Omnipony (that link goes to the super-awesome music video). Dimondium thought, what if you could play that song... with your marching band? So, of course, he wrote a marching band arrangement. There's sheet music and an audio file, too.

Thank you, Dimondium!

Acoustic Rainbow Factory

Rainbow Factory is one of those fan-made songs that has achieved almost as much popularity as the official songs from the show. If you've never heard it, you should definitely check it out.

Today, we bring you an acoustic guitar cover of Rainbow Factory from EnergyBrony. I love this cover—it manages to capture the same dark energy of the original with a very different instrumentation. Give it a listen!

Thanks to EnergyBrony for sharing!

My Little Ukulele

The ukulele is an adorable instrument, and that's all I have to say about that. Listening to it just makes you happy, doesn't it?

If you're not convinced, listen to this great cover of the Title Theme on ukulele from ChuckinBrony. He did a great job—I especially like the strumming/fingerpicking bit at the beginning.

Thanks so much for sharing, ChuckinBrony!
