loophoof - 478,000 Miles (Shining Forth) [Electro House]

Подробнее о видео

Now that the mega compilation album Ponies at Dawn Rebirth is out, it is an honor for me to present you my favorite track from it, a progressive masterpiece of intense and emotional storytelling. From Luna's banishment all up until her comeback, follow the full story arc along loophoof's beautiful music in this one-of-a-kind gem!

My mind went blank and I was literally blown away when I heard this track during the release party stream, and when I relistened to it I couldn't help but tear up. The focus on storytelling, and how loophoof expertly conducted it with a progression of several "parts" matching the events of the story, is just incredible and truly sets a new standard in pony music. How it includes every part of the arc with corresponding vocal samples from the show, and how it transitions between parts, bringing a new musical mood reflecting the story every time... is just wonderful and really to be praised.

There's the heavier part starting at 02:25 embodying the original battle between Nightmare Moon and Celestia, the more ambient part starting at 03:10 amazingly reflecting being stuck on the moon and the setting there, then there's Nightmare Moon's comeback from the S1 premiere put into epic music with a hint of vengeance at 05:15 (getting goosebumps from that part), and then the brighter and happier part starting at 05:37 upon Twilight's use of the Elements of Harmony, including both Twilight's heart-warming feelings toward her new friends (gosh I'm tearing up again just writing this) and Celestia's feelings as she welcomes back her beloved sister. That last part just makes me tear up every time I relisten to the track, it's so so emotional, from the music, the voices of the ponies from the show, and what we feel for them...

Also for the backstory, the vocal chops in this song are all Luna's and the last section of them was the lines "we understand you wanting more, a chance to shine, a chance to soar" from the song "You'll Play Your Part", and loophoof imagined it as Luna saying "now I'm shining forth, and both you and I will shine on more", which is so very lovely and gives so much depth and meaning to the chops, and even more emotion.

And by the way, for those who were wondering, 478,000 miles is the distance to the moon and back! Yes, loophoof even reflected the full story in the title!

I can only hope that you get to experience something wonderful with this track just like I did. Give props to loophoof for such an incredible and lovely piece of pony music! Available as part of Ponies at Dawn Rebirth among many other masterpieces, link below!

I loved this track so much that I had to make something special for it. This video is the closest I ever did to a full-fledged PMV for a Cider Party upload (not counting the comeback video), with how I included and edited show scenes much like a PMV, and furthermore syncing them with the vocal samples from the song. The part with Twilight and her newly made friends in particular is dear to me. Please see that tender and nostalgic moment in the video as my own heartfelt tribute to Twilight's story and how she met the ponies that would become the most important ponies in her life. Just like the part with Luna and Celestia reuniting being my tribute to them and their story arc. I also intend my work to express once again my deep love for fellow fans who feel the same kind of powerful things for the ponies. We are bronies... and we will remember!
