Because we can never have enough epic in the song packs (and because this was one of my favorite S3 episodes):



another night i spend alone
another silent mare forced out in the cold
my mind is left to wonder
when do my dreams come true
this starry night we're under
are the stars dreaming too
and i know now 
the truth we seek
in this lonely night
isn't quite so bleak

Its Ok, I'm right here
don't you ever feel alone, if you ever need a shoulder
to cry on, come find me
you're not different, we're all the same

i seem to blend in perfectly
its as though they can't even see
i'm standing right in front of them
i'm standing right before them

and it seems crystal clear
nobody wants me here
why do we even go on
when everybody's screaming
i know now
the truth we seek
these lonely nights
isn't quite so bleak

Its Ok, I'm right here
don't you ever feel alone, if you ever need a shoulder
to cry on, come find me
you're not different, we're all the same

(bridge)

Its Ok, I'm right here
don't you ever feel alone, if you ever need a shoulder
to cry on, come find me
you're not different, we're all the same
and if you try, i know you'll win
just spread your wings
and fly

I'm not sure where to post this, so I'll just do it here.  One of the bits of feedback I got from the video gaming room at EFNW is something you often see at Karaoke bars, and I can't believe I didn't think to provide this:

Simple song lists.  Two formats:  Alphabetized by song name, and alphabetized by artist name.  People in line to play wanted to be able to look through the list of all the songs to pick one out, but I hadn't thought to make print outs of this, so there was time wasted as people scrolled through the songs to find the one they wanted to sing.  So, having a couple text or PDF files with all the songs listed, first by song name, then by artist name would be really handy to pass around for these kinds of events!

You gotta shaaaaaaare~ / Videos from EFNW 2013

Hi y'all!

I apologize that I didn't think of actually pulling out my crappy camera and taking video of this until the very last day of the con, but here ya go!

http://sr.fo.cx/efnw2013/karaoke/

Apologies for the quality of the video:  I'm not much of a cameraman.  Also, for a message to all of y'all who have worked on this project, fast forward to about 20 seconds before the end of that third video, eh!

For what it's worth, My Little Karaoke, Trotmania, and the Pony Rock Project (MLP Rock Band) absolutely dominated the video gaming room at Everfree Northwest 2013.  Every time I walked by the room, one of these three games was being played on the center screen, and usually with a crowd of at least 15 hanging around singing along and waiting for their turn to play.  They had to do sign-up sheets, and when I stopped by for about a half hour on the third day, I noticed the waiting list was 10 deep!  With My Little Karaoke, though, it didn't matter much because almost everyone in the room was singing along (as well as some people in the hallway outside the room).

Oh-- and did I mention they kept the video gaming room running all night every night for the duration of the con?  Yes, these games were popular enough that attendees were foregoing sleep for an opportunity to play! XD

Once again, thanks for all the hard work y'all put into making My Little Karaoke such a great and fun game!

Been sick the last two days and been pretty much useless except for looking for obscure pony songs. Came across this one, eh:


QuoteShe looks outside her window at the rising sun,
And she also looks at the same time at her beloved one.
Dinky's sorting out the mail for her in such a thoughtful way.
She saddles up her bags and peeks in the looking glass and hears her daughter say,
"Hey Mommy, can you see how good you look today?
Your right eye has a sparkle, and the left one wants to play.
Your mane looks extra shiny and your feathers, extra soft.
Your cutie mark reminds me that our love will never pop!"

Oh-oh-oh, Ditzy Doo! All the world's in love with you.
It's like you're a fresh-baked muffin, and the rest of us are you,
Ah-ah-ah, Derpy! Tell me, can those bright eyes see?
You make living happier for everypony.

She takes off down the road in search of the day's first home and
Although it takes a moment, she spots the boutique.
A white mare canters out and her lips rise from a pout when
She cannot help but shout, "Hello!" to that gray streak.
Then in the marketplace where every eye knows her face,
She's greeted by their good grace, and she has none to spare
A farm mare selling apples tosses our friend a hatful
It's more than she can grapple, but she thanks the mare
Though she's a little wonky, each pony and each donkey
Together and all on key sing for her a song

Oh-oh-oh, Ditzy Doo! All the world's in love with you.
It's like you're a fresh-baked muffin, and the rest of us are you,
Ah-ah-ah, Derpy! Tell me, can those bright eyes see?
You make living happier for everypony.

It wasn't that long ago that I didn't know
Who I was going to become.
I thought I saw the whole world laid out in front of me
And I couldn't be any more scared than that
I saw a world full of dark, no color, no light, no laughter.
Well, we've all been there right?
Out of the dark, six kind souls came into my life
And this is what they said:
"You've gotta bring back the kid inside, full of innocence.
Don't be afraid, spread your love like Cadence.
You've got a ways left to go,
But it won't hurt to let it show."

Oh-oh-oh, Ditzy Doo! All the world's in love with you.
It's like you're a fresh-baked muffin, and the rest of us are you,
Ah-ah-ah, Derpy! Tell me, can those bright eyes see?
You make living happier for everypony. (x2)
Oh, you make living happier for everypony. (x3)

Because this is too hillarious:


Quote
I think that you're rather unique
Perhaps you're something new
And if you'd like to oblige
I'd like to get to know you.

You seem fundamentally fun
I feel like being your friend.
Let's see the big city sights
and find how well we blend.

I hope you won't mind if I say
I'm smitten by your smile
I hope you like all my jokes
and that you'll stay for a while.

I'd gab that your humor is grand
At least what I understand
It seems your passion rubs off
It's better than I planned.

It's the start of something too great
It's really much too profound
I'm glad we ventured a chance
It's frankly hard to expound.

Do you think we both have a chance?
Can we even get by?
I know the odds are against.
We'll make it if we try!

You've hair soft as feathery down
Wide eyes to look into
Such trust and vigor for life!
I am your pony waifu!

That makes my poor heart burst with glee!
Please promise that it's true!
That you would deign to choose me!
I am your pony waifu!

Profess to me your foolhardy dreams
The things you find you're fond of
Tell me your every wish
I think that I'm in love.

You know that I love you too!
You feed me sugar cubes
Can't say what more could I want
I am your pony waifu!

I'll be there for you every night!
And I will be there too!
You are my very best friend
And I'm your pony waifu!

Dear you are the light of my life!
I know that we'll get through!
You're everything that I need!
I am your pony waifu!

I predict a future for us.
We're going to make it shine!
Because I know that I'm yours!
And I know you're mine!

(Added lyrics)
YEEEEAH PONY WAIFU
YEEEEEEEEEAH YEAH YEAH
HOOOOOH MAH PONY WAIFU
YEAH EH-EAH
I SAID OH MAH PONY WAIFU
MAH PONNNNY WAIFU
YEAAAAAH MY PONY WAIFU
OOOOOH YEAH

How about this one?



Lyrics:

You see me soaring through the sky
I see you below as you walk on by
I could clear the sky in 10 seconds flat
Well how about that?
Well how about that?

I could be sitting here on a cloud
Watching the sun as it starts to go down
The only thing missing
is you by my side

Give me a smidge of confidence
Give me a speck of something that makes sense
Give me an idea of dependency
Give me a dash of loyalty

Loyalty

I could save my lonely soul for you
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through
You can give your broken heart to me
'Cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

Loyalty

The sun shines bright, yet the rain pours on
Rainbows here one minute and then they're gone
They remind me of me and you
What did you do?
What did I do?

Determination in those eyes
Where has it gone? Has it said goodbye?
A lot has happened
But I'll stay by your side

Give me a smidge of confidence
Give me a speck of something that makes sense
Give me an idea of dependency
Give me a dash of loyalty

Loyalty

I could save my lonely soul for you
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through
You can give your broken heart to me
'Cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

Loyalty

Loyalty

Time stands still when you're with me.
How can I make you see?
Your crazy antics make me want to scream
your name so loud till my throat starts to bleed
To bleed!

I could save my lonely soul for you
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through
You can give your broken heart to me
'Cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

I could save my lonely soul for you
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through
You can give your broken heart to me
'Cause you know that I'll stay with you
That's why they call me loyalty

Loyalty

Loyalty

Hey y'all--

I just wanted to say "Thank You!" for all the hard work y'all have put into making this project so awesome.  I threw a big Brony Party (http://www.meetup.com/Bronies-SeaTac/events/81056682/) last weekend and had MLP:FiM themed DDR and Karaoke (among other things).  By far the most popular events of the weekend were the Karaoke and DDR.  (We ended up going back to Karaoke after switching to other things three times!)

Unfortunately my camera disappeared 5 minutes into the party, and I only found it again yesterday evening, so I was not able to capture video of bronies having a ball singing the songs y'all have put together.  But I'll be more careful to get this next time, eh!  (I'm planning on throwing another huge party like this in February.)

Anyway, thanks again!

Pony Rock Project songs / Trixie - Forest Rain
October 05, 2012, 09:41:23 PM


Lyrics:
It was a bright and sunny day in August when she came to town
She had a carriage full of props and tricks and a confidence that knew no bounds
And my heart skipped a beat as love I found...

The sun rose high as she got up on stage and started to perform her show
And as she shared her tricks I could feel the love inside of me begin to grow
And my heart said don't you dare let her go...

Trixie! You're the mare I love, girl you know it's true
There ain't no other pony like you!
Trixie! You're the one I want and no one can stop me now
I'm gonna make you mine somehow...

Some ponies say she has an ego big enough for two, but that's not true
She's a showmare and an artist—her dedication will show through
And I know nopony ever could outdo—

Trixie! You're the mare I love, girl you know it's true
There ain't no other pony like you!
Trixie! You're the one I want and no one can stop me now
I'm gonna make you mine somehow...

Trixie...

Trixie...


Trixie! You're the mare I love, girl you know it's true
There ain't no other pony like you!
Trixie! You're the one I want and no one can stop me now
I'm gonna make you mine somehow...

Trixie...

Trixie...

Trixie...

Trixie...

There's also this cover by Forest Rain:

http://forestrain.bandcamp.com/track/the-party-hasnt-ended

Lyrics:
Here I am again
I'm standing alone and wondering when
I'm trying to work up the nerve
To tell you how I feel

Colorful streamers and lights
Ever month it's the same, It doesn't feel right
The emptiness around me
Reminds me how my heart must feel

I just want to make you open your eyes
And you might be in for a pleasant suprise
I want you to stay here by my side
I'm a party of one, and I need you tonight

I just want to make you finally see
That not being with you is torturing me
But behind these eyes and the tears I have shed
I want you to know that the party hasn't ended

It might just be the time
Everypony has left, but you've stayed behind
I'm trying to work up the nerve
To tell you how I feel

It's finally to much
Mere words aren't enough, so our lips they touch
You flee from my embrace
I know this dream could not be real

I just want to make you open your eyes
And you might be in for a pleasant suprise
I want you to stay here by my side
I'm a party of one, and I need you tonight

Nightmares creeping in from all sides
Painful memories locked inside
I'll be right there to break you free
You'll finally see my loyalty
Visions come most cruel and dark
But I know friendship is the spark
My laughter like a chorus rings
And then you'll hear me start to sing
"Giggle at the Ghostie"

I just want to make you open your eyes
And you might be in for a pleasant suprise
I want you to stay here by my side
I'm a party of one, and I need you tonight

I just want to make you finally see
That not being with you is torturing me
But behind these eyes and the tears I have shed
I want you to know that the party hasn't ended

I just want to make you open your eyes
And you might be in for a pleasant suprise
I want you to stay here by my side
I'm a party of one, and I need you tonight

I just want to make you finally see
That not being with you is torturing me
But behind these eyes and the tears I have shed
I want you to know that the party hasn't ended

Song requests / "Family Ways" cover by Forest Rain
October 05, 2012, 09:12:51 PM


Instrumental track linked in above video.

Lyrics:
Walk outside the house before the sun is up
The ponies in town are sleeping but the Apples are not
It's the beginning of another day
Can't spend another minute on the hay

Grab something to eat then feed the pigs in their pen
The noise they make keeps me company when
I watch the moon make way in the sky
For the elder princess' celestial charge

The freshness of the morning air remains with me
As I walk back to the orchard where todays work awaits
Among the apple trees

Bucking the days away with a smile upon my face
Keeping alive the family ways

While big brother works the fields with the old plow
Little sis and I help granny bake and I'm thinking about
Racing through the whitetail woods last fall
A blur of rainbow colors clouding it all

Walk into town to meet my friends
We're having a party at the corner again
And I wouldn't miss it for the world, no
It's always magical when I'm with the girls

The beautiful and tranquil night
Descends upon me as I head back home
And I just can't hold back a smile
Not when I feel so fine

Bucking the days away with a smile upon my face
Keeping alive the family ways

Instrumental track is linked on the above youtube page.

Lyrics:
I find it funny that you know you've got a long long way to go
Before you're perfectly set up to be the talk of the town
Cuz if you count up all you've got, you'll notice that you've got a lot
And when you're so high up it takes some time to bring you on
Down, down to where you can smell the sweet bread bake.
It takes some time to bring you on down to where the memories await

You just gotta walk that path again, and you can smile, smile, smile
You can hear the laughter of your friends, and you can join in all the while
Even when you feel alone, and even if that may be so,
You've just gotta walk that path again, and you can smile, smile, smile.

No matter if you're underwing, like racing, or the finer things
It's plain to see that we can all agree to lend out our love
And if you keep yourself on track, then you'll get twice as much love back
And the twitching tail will then assail us all from
Above you, where the hurtful and the hateful cannot fly
It's coming in from above, in the cerulean and welcoming sky

You just gotta walk that path again, and you can smile, smile, smile
You can hear the laughter of your friends, and you can join in all the while
Even when you feel alone, and even if that may be so,
You've just gotta walk that path again, and you can smile, smile, smile.

You just gotta walk that path again, and you can smile, smile, smile
You can hear the laughter of your friends, and you can join in all the while
Even when you feel alone, and even if that may be so,
You've just gotta walk that path again, and you can smile, smile, smile.

And here's a PVM someone made for it (just clips from the show, eh):



Lyrics:
What is this weird show?
It's like the only thing you know
You talk about it every day
You know this is child's play

Your path ahead is blurred
Told to go join in on the herd
You know this show's for younger crowds?
How can you say you're proud?

Now think, brony, think
Everything in here is pink
You've spent your precious time
Now you're walking a fine line!

And then you have the nerve
To ask me to observe
These girly things
You open your mouth and sing...

Ponies aren't just for girls
Let this tail unfurl
Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie
Applejack and Fluttershy
Do not be afraid
We will never fade
Rainbow Dash and Rarity
Join the herd, and you will see!


Hey this show's not bad
I'll give it to ya, I'm real glad
I never thought I'd like this stuff
I thought I was just too tough

I'm sorry I was rude
I feel happy and renewed
And even though I feel naive
I find it hard to leave

So thanks, brony, thanks
My mind was shooting blanks
I feel like such a fool
Who knew ponies were this cool?

Now wait for Saturday
For the show to play
What will it bring?
We open our mouths and sing

Ponies aren't just for girls
Let this tail unfurl
Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie
Applejack and Fluttershy
Do not be afraid
We will never fade
Rainbow Dash and Rarity
Join the herd, and you will see!
So thanks, brony, thanks
Looks like I've joined your ranks
I never could repay
What you've done for me today

Hey thanks, brony thanks,
Looks like I've joined your rank
I never could repay—

Ponies aren't just for girls
Let this tail unfurl
Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie
Applejack and Fluttershy
Do not be afraid
We will never fade
Rainbow Dash and Rarity
Join the herd, and you will see!

Ponies aren't just for girls
Let this tail unfurl
Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie
Applejack and Fluttershy
Do not be afraid
We will never fade
Rainbow Dash and Rarity
Join the herd, and you will see!

You'll need to go past his heart-felt introduction to get to the music (starts at 1:28), but here's this one:



Lyrics:
It was a dark day when I lost my faith
I wasn't the pony I thought I'd be
And it seemed that no one could relate
There was nothing left to see

So I took a walk to the edge of the town
And thought of leaving it all behind
When I saw a little letter fall right out of the sky
As a grey mare hovered way up high

I thought I was crazy when I saw her wave
And then simply fly away
So I opened the letter and looked inside
And what was written made my day...

It said--

Isn't it great to be different?
Isn't it wonderful to be exactly who you are?
When you learn to start accepting yourself
You'll become a shining star


To this day the writing on that page
Is mottled by the tears I shed
Cuz at that moment something inside me changed
And a bright new path I lead

I ran back home and I picked up my old guitar
And I started strumming these chords
And I sang her words along with this song
And I heard someone sing along

And we sang--

Isn't it great to be different?
Isn't it wonderful to be exactly who you are?
When you learn to start accepting yourself
You'll become a shining star

I turned around and I saw her at my door
That cute grey mare with the wall-eyed stare
She said, "I've heard you play and sing before.
And I heard a sadness I could not bear."

"I just wanted to tell you that the hardest thing I've faced
Wasn't the teasing or the pain
It was convincing myself I wasn't stupid, strange, or lame
And helping others do the same."

*whistling*

These last few years flew by just like a blur
I'm now exactly where I should be
And I know I owe it all to her
The beautiful mare who believed in me~

Isn't it great to be different?
Isn't it wonderful to be exactly who you are?
When you learn to start accepting yourself
You'll become a shining star

Isn't it great to be different?
Isn't it wonderful to be exactly who you are?
When you learn to start accepting yourself
You'll become a shining star

You'll become a shining star (Isn't it wonderful)
You'll become a shining star (Isn't it great)

When you learn to love just who you are

Honestly, there's a bunch of stuff from Forest Rain's "My Little Pop-Punk Pony" album which would make for great karaoke.
