QuoteLyrics:
I gave you my heart and then you turned around
The secrets that we shared, the moments that you cared
I gave you my heart and then you turned around
We went streaking in the park, skinny dipping after dark

I gave you my heart and then you turned around
Depressing melodies, suppressing fantasies
I gave you my heart and then you turned around

I always wanted my own brother
And then he showed up at our door
I didn't question where he came from
I wasn't lonely anymore
Soon we did everything together
He taught me how to fly a kite
I watched him grow into a stallion
I watched him sleep in bed at night
It's not creepy

But then he signed that record label
A cute quintet of boyish sound
But now that everybody loves him
I'm just a face out in the crowd
I threw myself into my studies
To have the world in my control
I vaporized the competition
Nobody understands me
It's not evil

I gave you my heart and then you turned around
Romantic pony dreams, they never came to be
I gave you my heart and then you turned around
Twilight please make this song end, we're a bunch of floating heads!

Just take it from me, I know you'll come around
Though the law forbids it, this is kismet
Say "I do" and seal our souls together
Voulez-vous, our love will last forever
Since we're not related it'll be ok

So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

chords:
chorus - D#, Cm, Fm, G#, A#
verse - D#, Gm, Cm, G#, A#

Yay, new FiW. And with a fun-sounding, yet ultimately totally mental song. Just how we love'em.

I let out a hysteric fan squeal when I saw where it was from.
Brilliant, I wish I understood half the jokes in there. This is gonna take a while.

You have to get these bars in. I incest.

I came to request the same song but somepony else requested it and it's already been made? Yay :D

How much is done? I made some anime songs already so I can help a bit with the karaoke lyrics (the notes is my problem :P )

Smilley

Requests mean just that. Once somebody claims the song to work on it, it'll be moved to WiP.

Moving to WiP it is, then. If you need some pointers, see the link in my sig.

Any updates on this one? :)

I've done the karaoke, and I almost finished the timing... But my computer is busted for all this time...  But when it's fixed I'll continue doing it and fast.
If anyone else wants to do it, feel free to start it...

Smilley

I took you up on that offer. I've uploaded the results on ownCloud, but you can also get it here.
The "studio version" of the song has a longer intro than the one in the episode, so the video starts with a 10 second still, followed by Twilight moving her lips to her last line of dialogue before the singing sets in.
Also, if you look for background/cover pics, be sure to have SafeSearch on if you enter "Twilight Shining Armor". So much Rule 34... *shudder*

Thanks :)

I'll re-do the video, don't worry. And, err, thanks for the warning regarding r34 stuff D:

I had a small typo that made USDX not recognize the song. It's fixed in both instances now. If you don't want to re-download it, just put a # in front of GENRE in the notes.txt.

@Renard: Yeah, I had a picture that looked really good in the thumbnail, with Twilight and Shining Armor embraced at night in Canterlot. It was only when I pulled up the full picture that I realized it was a "loving" embrace. -.- Time to fetch the brain bleach...

Played it yesterday with a friend while testing out computer stuff. It is really enjoyable to sing, a great addition to the setlist :)

Hrm... I could have swore I sent in an instrumental version...

Anyhow, here's a new link to it.

In this version, you only sing as Twilight.  (I'm not a big fan of solo-singing duets that have slightly overlapping lines)

ownCloud QA:

instrumental.txt file does not match with the instrumental mp3.

The instrumental.txt on ownCloud is using the old version, and not the "sing as twilight" note sets of the current instrumental mp3.


In its current form, it will want you to sing the part of shining armor and the remainder of the mane 6, even though they are fully represented in the music already.

An updated version can be found in my previous post.  Feel free to change the reference data at the top of the file as you see fit.


Renard

Fixed. This was caused by a Owncloud sync issue, the previous version was rolled back by mistake. Thanks for reporting it!

PsychicWalnut

Bug
Video not sync'd with instrumental.txt

removal of the line:  #VIDEOGAP:-10,6 fixes the issue.
