lyrics
[spoiler]Part 1

As a young thing, life sure is somethin'
You go makin' choices large and small
Always growin' like a seedlin'
And playin' is like dreamin'
And before you know it, big and tall
And every little bitty choice you make
Sends you down a path to who you are today
So let's take a little trip down memory lane
And see just what the past has to say
[[Aw, look how cute you were.
Looks like you're not too upset
it's Hearth's Warming Eve either]]
The seeds of the past
They grow pretty fast
Just look at who you were back then
The seeds, as they grow
Look what they can show
Reveal the truth time and again



Part 2

Then some distress
Words so careless
Standin' there, you don't know what to do
Feelin' helpless
You can't make it hurt less
So you go and change your point of view
And in that moment, though you didn't know it
Your defenses set up walls you built to last
Leading to the pony you've become today
And the spell you're about to cast
It all comes from your past

The seeds of the past
We grow up so fast
Some hurts never go away

The seeds, as they grow
This we can't let go
All tied to this one holiday[/spoiler]

Done!
And rainbow, while I appreciate the effort with the tapping - and I won't let your work until now go to waste -, unless you plan to create the whole song, please don't.
Having the lyrics helps a lot, but tapping is not that time-consuming, and it helps me get an initial feeling for the song - the flow, the breaks, that sorta thing. And I need to go through every line anyway.
I know pitching is the hardest - though ultimately, most satisfying - part, and it takes a lot of practice to have a good working pace, but I and the team'd like to get the official songs out ASAP, even though we are not under any time constraints.

On a similar note, Psychic has been our audio provider for at least the last two seasons, and he's been doing a consistently excellent job, even with sometimes low quality source material. Your files might've been a day or two earlier, but I also remember several cases of problems with them.

What I mean to say is thank you very much for resurrecting USDX and your improvements have more than earned you a place on the team, but as for the other things, I think you should take some inspiration from Newbie Dash.

ok, I'll keep away from any songs / videos / .. that you, the mane team, are doing.
Sadly, there is about no information available on how to actually get into high quality song creation so that one is of any help to you at all. What I did this week helped me a lot to understand what you all do, how you work together and what to pay attention to.
In the next weeks/months I'll only do more unknown songs / privately share songs so I don't get in between your work.
I follow this project already almost a year and do various software development + support for it but still didn't know much about the team or who does what and why.

PS: the audio.mp4 files were only the raw audio, not meant to be used in MyLittleKaraoke...

There's an extra ~ in the released version - during the line "Look's like you're not too upset - It's Hearth's~ Warming Eve, either".
Fixed it on the Cloud version. Needs to be updated on the Leaderboard as well.
