Discord + Funk Rock = Success

It's a pretty simple formula. Take Discord, add funk rock, and you get awesome. I'm talking, of course, about the amazing fan song Discord (original here), which is one of my favorite pieces to come out of the MLP:FiM community.

Well, Thunder Dash took the inspiration of Discord and covered it in a funk rock style. The combination is fantastic. Give it a listen! There's also a midi version.

Thanks as always, Thunder Dash!

Dimondium Transposition

Dimondium is a member of the Everypony Sings team with a lot of musical talents. One of his talents is transposing music, making familiar songs sound very different by putting it in a different key.

This time, Dimondium took Raise This Barn and transposed it into D (Harmonic) Minor. The cheerful hoedown sounds way creepier in this key. It's downright malevolent. Give it a listen!

Thanks for sharing, Dimondium!

Fighting is Magic: Rainbow Dash's Stage

Are you familiar with the ill-fated fan game, Fighting is Magic? It was a super cool-looking fighting game based on pony characters that Hasbro squashed (though I can understand why they did). Well, at least one good thing came out of the whole story—some awesome music.

Thunder Dash has shared a piano cover of the music that was written for Rainbow Dash's stage in the game. It is appropriately epic. Give it a listen in the video or check out the sheet music.

Thanks, Thunder Dash!

Title Theme Cover

MathematicPony is one of the many talented fans we have the pleasure to get to know through Everypony Sings. I want to hear more of her work, she does a great job on everything she sends us!

Tonight, she's shared a great piano cover of the extended Title Theme. It sounds really charming, and she is a great pianist. Give it a listen, you're sure to enjoy it!

Thanks, MathematicPony!

Chords from The Runner

Do you ever just go look at the music pages for the various seasons? It always blows me away to see how much this community has created and shared with one another. It's truly awesome.

One of our contributors, The Runner, has three new resources to add to that collection: chords for You Gotta Share, the Italian Intro, and What My Cutie Mark is Telling Me. Go check them out and try them for yourself!

Many thanks to The Runner for sharing!

The Hardest Thing Cover

A while back, we had a request for chords for the fan song The Hardest Thing by JoaftheLoaf. MathematicPony stepped up and shared chords so that others could play this great song themselves. (You can find that post here.)

Well, MathematicPony is back with a cover of the song using her own chords! It sounds simply amazing. MathematicPony has a great voice, and the piano part sounds fantastic. You definitely want to check it out.

Thanks, MathematicPony! (PS. I love your name. MathematicPony just sounds like someone I would want to be friends with.)

Original by Gloomy Dusk: Shattered

Gloomy Dusk has shared some great original music with us at Everypony Sings before, and it's always a pleasure to hear from him.

This time around, Gloomy Dusk shared an original song called Shattered. It's about the broken friendship of the Mane Six and it's from his upcoming EP (although the rest of the EP won't be pony-themed). It's both beautiful and sad—give it a listen!

Thanks, Gloomy Dusk! (Oh, and the picture for this post comes from TehJadeh, whose work is awesome.)

Ballad of the Crystal Ponies Arrangement

When the Ballad of the Crystal Ponies was previewed, before season three started, I was in love with the song. I listened to it over and over, memorizing all the words and singing along.

It's great to have an excellent resource for this song to share, because it's reminding me how much I love it. A guy who goes by mastersuperfan wrote an arrangement for the ballad with voice, piano, and guitar. The guitar part is tricky—you'd have to be pretty good to play it. But it all sounds great together. Check it out!

Thanks, mastersuperfan!

Evil (Awesome) Blues Enchantress

I have a theory: Thunder Dash is an evil enchantress (or enchanter, I suppose) who uses his powers to make unbelievably great music.

Seriously, you have to listen to his bluesy version of Evil Enchantress for double pianos. It is just so well done and it makes me really happy. And—even better—you can check out the sheet music and try playing it with a friend! Don't miss out on this one.

Thanks, Thunder Dash!

I've Got to Find a Way for French Horn

If you've ever made a mistake and known you needed to do something to make it right, then you probably resonated with the season 3 finale song, I've Got to Find a Way. It's poignant and sad and makes me wish I could give Twilight a hug.

Well, if you are a French horn player, then today is the day you get to play this great song on your instrument of choice. TheCastro82 shared sheet music for I've Got to Find a Way on French horn. Take a look!

Thanks, TheCastro82!
