What the hell did I just do

Postby JackleApp » 14 Aug 2011 11:49

So... I kind of went full-retard on this one

You guys know Owl City, right?
The cheese-factory that made Fireflies (among other things)
Well, I happen to be a big fan (It's like a guilty pleasure)
And I was like
How can I make this even cheesier...~?

WELL PONIES I GUESS

So I'm starting a side project either called Pony Village (Which I'm not sure about because Pony Village seems to be a well established band...) or
Griffin Village (Because ponies are flip-flops, amirite?)

So yeah, I made a song for sci's toastbeard compo.
This week's theme was RAINBOWS

So I made a shipping song about Lyra and Bon-Bon.

Here it is, brace yourselves:

Lyrics:

Plucking strings and broken wings
are the things that defined my Ponyville Summer
When Nice Nurse Mare, from urgent care
put my wings in slings oh gosh what a bummer
(But I'll abscond)
But you wouldn't care when you're in the care of
(Where I'll have fun)
When you're in the care of Lyra and Bon-Bon

I looked all day, for a place to stay
But "No Vacancy" signs went on for miles
They saw my cast, they didn't even ask
they took me right in to stay for a while
(But I don't mind)
You wouldn't ask why when you were as desperate as I
(Out of the sun)
You don't ask why when it's Lyra and Bon-Bon

I watched them together while under the weather
and couldn't believe my eyes
two ponies like this who share every kiss like they'll share the rest of
their lives
It made me blue and a little bit green
that they were flushed red with love
I'm too yellow to tell them that I'm leaving today
under the orange sunset up above

(Ooooooh)

Plucking strings and broken wings
are the things that defined my Ponyville summer...

That..Woah.

Great vocals, imaginative lyrics, nice instrumentation, all around relaxing with just enough cheese filling. I would absolutely love to hear more in this style. In fact, I demand it.
(Also, I can't read "abscond" or "flushed red" without thinking about homestuck)
Life is good. Life is short. Have some fun and enjoy it while it lasts.

...And thus Jackle App became the most popular brony musician foreverafter.

I absolutely love cheesy music like this. I also am going to have to demand that you make more. This is absolutely adorable.

You caught my references. I applaud you.

I will be making more, Senator.
Or at least I hope so.

Exceptionally high production value, well spoken and subtle lyrics that still convey the message of the song, beautiful instrumentation and melody. You even sing very well.

Seriously, what were you thinking?

I was pretty scared when I heard your voice this high pitched.
the background music is extremely catchy and you have a great voice, I love it!

Lovely! While I'm not a fan of Owl City I really liked this song.
