Three months of winter coolness
And awesome holidays
We've kept our hoovsies warm at home
Time off from work to play

But the food we've stored is running out
And we can't grow in this cold
And even though I love my boots
This fashion's getting old

A true, true friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help you see
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
To see the light that shines from a true, true friend

The time has come to welcome spring
And all things warm and green
But it's also time to say goodbye
It's winter we must clean
We move the clouds
And we melt the white snow
When the sun comes up
Its warmth and beauty will glow

A true, true friend helps a friend in need
(Winter wrap up, winter wrap up)
A friend will be there to help them see
(Winter wrap up, winter wrap up)
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
('Cause tomorrow spring is here)
To see the light that shines from a true, true friend

Little critters hibernate
Under the snow and ice
We must wake up all their sleepy heads
So quietly and nice
We help them gather up their food
Fix their homes below
We welcome back the southern birds
So their families can grow

A true, true friend helps a friend in need
(Winter wrap up, winter wrap up)
A friend will be there to help them see
(Winter wrap up, winter wrap up)
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
('Cause tomorrow spring is here)
To see the light that shines from a true, true friend

Now that I know what they all do
I have to find my place
And help with all of my heart
Tough task ahead I face

How will I do without my magic?
Help the earth pony way
I wanna belong so I must
Do my best today
Do my best today!

A true, true friend helps a friend in need
(Winter wrap up, winter wrap up)
A friend will be there to help them see
(Winter wrap up, winter wrap up)
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
('Cause tomorrow spring is here)
To see the light (To see the light)
That shines (That shines)
From a true, true friend
'Cause tomorrow spring is here
'Cause tomorrow spring is here
'Cause tomorrow spring is here!

Might as well start working on this, now that the soundtrack's out. A duet version is definitely in order.
Solo version is all but done, save for BG artwork (and maybe a different cover). Although I haven't checked it thoroughly after changing the mp3 file, and there might be more mistakes noticeable with the vocalref file. Too tired to give it another look right now scratch that, the power of coffee compels me

I'll also try to get a tentative attempt at a duet done. Still not quite sure how to best split the lines, but a male vs female distinction seems better than lead vs backing vocals.

Moar musics from All Levels at Once. Have a remix/translation of the Italian opening.

[spoiler=Lyrics]

In un mondo splendido
Colorato e magico
Little ponies vivono
(In) pace (e) sempre in armonia

In a colorful magical land
Filled with beauty, isn't it grand?
Little ponies live peacefully, and
Harmony won't ever end

They make the sun shine splendidly
And keep the land safe from foes of harmony
The joy they spread will make your day
When you pass them by

//Chorus
Go take flight, my little pony!
No need to be lonely
You'll make it I promise
Listen close, while we're together
We'll build up our friendships
Through all kinds of weather

//Chorus

Don't you stop!
My little pony, if you want to make friends
Then come here where it's sunny
Come here where it's sunny! (×3)

//Chorus

This has been used in some commercials, so it's kinda half-official.
It's also the /mlp/ anthem and not catchy at all oh god get it out of my head

I want to drain you of your colors
You are the apple of my eye
I'm going to stalk you into darkness
Make you run away, make you run afraid of the night

I'm not the friend you once knew
search your heart you know it's true
there's no time to say goodbye
this will be the end of your life

I've gone batty,
Lunatic under the moon
I've gone batty,
Once I sink my teeth in it'll happen to you!

How red and juicy you are to me
As if you're waiting for my bite
My insanity has a flavor
Heavenly and sweet, nectar of my terrible life

I'm not the friend you once knew
search your heart you know it's true
there's no time to say goodbye
this will be the end of your life

I've gone batty,
Lunatic under the moon
I've gone batty,
Once I sink my teeth in it'll happen to you!

(I want to drain you of your colors)
(You are the apple of my eye)
(I'm going to stalk you into darkness)
(Make you run away, make you run afraid of the night)

You thought you were rid of me
a mistake as you will see
I'll just wait for one more time
for my darkest thirst to arrive!

I've gone batty,
Lunatic under the moon
I've gone batty,
Once I sink my teeth in it'll happen to you!

(Once I sink my teeth in it'll happen to you)

Daytime sleeps and dreams of night
While beauty flanks your bed
White-blue stars soar skyward yearning
Love your heart misread
Night burns bright and blends with shadow
Fills your heart with gloom
Princess Luna, roamer of dreams
Steal my heart and bloom

Dance with me
Sing with me
Play with me
Fly with me
Run with me
Trot with me
Laugh with me
Steal from me

All deckhands on deck!
Swasher and blackjack!
Peel off to port tack!
Hearties go find me gold!

All deckhands on deck!
Swasher and blackjack!
Peel off to port tack!
Blimey, you got me sold!

Pirate Luna, come steal my heart made of gold
Live in my dreams, we'll fight scallywags and the mold
Scream out ahoy!
Lift up our spirits!
Live on the vessel of the lunar pirate

All deckhands on deck!

Don't come back Luna
I don't want you around here
I'm just a filly but I'm taking a stand
Oh no, don't come back Luna
You ain't such a big shot
You think it's your land but I tell you it's not

A new stained glass window pane
A prophecy that's been rewritten again
A new story to tell all your foals
They'll turn to legend and then forgotten scrolls
You never know
Just how it feels to be alone
'Til you're cryin' for your thro-o-o-one

Don't come back Luna
I don't want you around here
I'm just a filly but I'm taking a stand
Oh no, don't come back Luna, you ain't such a big shot
You think it's your land but I tell you it's not

I'm not the type for jealousy
But sister I won't let you usurp me
I'm not afraid to use my horn
The sun will rule the moon 'til twilight is born
You won't get free
It's perfectly meant to be
Just like elements of harmony

Don't come back Luna
I don't want you around here
I'm just a filly but I'm taking a stand
Oh no, don't come back Luna
You ain't such a big shot
You think it's your land but I tell you it's not

One little pony left without a home
Two little fillies with a new world to roam~
One thousand years or maybe more it'll be
Six little ponies it'll take to set you free, ah!

Don't come back Luna
I don't want you around here
I'm just a filly but I'm taking a stand
Oh no, don't come back Luna
You ain't such a big shot
You think it's your land
You really think it's your land, baby

Don't come back Luna
I don't want you around here
Oh, I'm just a filly, but this is my stand
Oh no, don't come back Luna
You ain't such a big shot
You think it's your land but I tell you it's not
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't come back Luna

Obvious cover candidate: "Celestia Rageface wallpaper" by grievousfan
Background suggestion: "Royal Discussuions" by SameAsUsual (finally found some angry filly Cewestia art)

PS. Noticed that the left channel is slightly louder, even though both channels are similarly normalized. Probably unnoticeable through speakers, but slightly annoying when working with headphones. There're lossless versions available on bandcamp if someone wants to try some mastering magic.

So yeah, going to work on this sometime soon. Another Octavia song, guess that's just a coincidence ::)

Aaand done. Zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?f4uxbhxjzi23r20

Background image is by SpaceKitty, just something I picked out of my wallpaper folder.

I've long wanted to try my hand at karaokefying a song. So I found a fabulous song, and I did a karaokey thing. I'm not that great at judging the quality here, so criticism is appreciated.

(By the way, is there some convention about asking artists' permissions, or can I just do what I want 'cause a pirate is free?)
