[Pre-Chorus 1]
These winter nights are cold and dark
'Cause you've been playing with my heart
And I've got promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep

[Verse 1]
The snow is gently falling on this
Lonely winter night
There's wreaths of green and mistletoe
and colored Christmas lights

I hear the bells are ringing but
I can't make out the tune
'Cause my head is filled with melodies
And songs of me and you

[Pre-Chorus 1]

[Chorus] (May or may not include the "ahh's and ooh's" leading up to the lines in the Chorus)
Fire's glowin'
Wind is blowin'
This December I've been so alone
I'm longing for some girl to hold

Winter snow an'
Mistletoin'
This year under my tree, I really hoped to see
You running straight to me
This Christmas Eve

[Verse 2]
It seems that every evening
My heart just wants to ache
This feeling just keeps growing and
It's so hard to keep things straight

Though miles may separate us
I can't doubt that I'm in love
'Cause every hour every day you know it's
You I'm thinking of

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wish that I could hold you close
But you're haunted by another's ghost
And all I have to make you see are
Clumsy words and melodies

[Pre-Chorus 1]

[Chorus]

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]
Should Auld aquaintaince be forgot
And never brought to mind
'Cause all I really want this year's
For you to say that you'll be mine

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]
Oh what'll we ever do
With the girl who gives out cupcakes and throws parties out of the blue
She'll tell us a joke or two
And even though she gave the punch line, we know she's laughing, too

Her sense of humor has been uncategorized for quite some time
And by quite some time, I mean basically her whole life

[Verse 2]
It's hard to comprehend
How she can make living just by being a friend
But we'll never understand
Why she is always smiling when she knows that none of us can

The way she lives her life here just confuses us to no end
But when we're down she can make us smile again
Whoa~

[Chorus]
One day, she'll catch us off guard and say
She's been thinking about all the
Laughter that fills the room
And all too soon, she'll think that it's time for a change

And someday, she'll realize what she had
She'll say she really enjoyed all the
Laughter that she caused
And we'll applaud, there's really no need for a change

[Verse 3]
But how can we make her see
She may be made of mischief, and full of energy
But all of the memories
It seems we've had so many, we stopped counting finally

It's not like her to be even slightly sensitive at all
But we know that she still has a heart of her own
Whoa~

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
She'll never know what it's like
To have a friend who laughs in danger's sight

[Instrumental Interlude]

Her sense of humor has been uncategorized for quite some time
And by quite some time, I mean basically her whole life

[Chorus]

[Outro]
There's really no need
There's really no need for a change

There's really no need
There's really no need for a change

[Verse 1]
Words are weapons sharp as knives
You can use them wrong or right
You could try to improvise
But in the end it's called a lie

[Pre-Chorus]
You know you could
But never should
You never would

[Chorus]
You could lead an army just with honesty
Everything is plain to see and promising
You could be deceiving now, but honestly
You could steal a heart with just your honesty

[Verse 2]
Lies can lead you to your end
Secrets aren't much different
You'll eventually regret
Every word you never said

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Don't lead me away
Don't lead me astray
'Cause you lead the way

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Outro]
You could steal a heart with just your honesty
You could steal a heart with just your honesty

Note: This song's quite a bit stylistic with the way he sings it. For instance, in the Chorus, the line "All of the things that I will say to her can't fail tonight" is sung more along the lines of "All the things that I will say to her, can't fail, a-to-ni~i~ight". "Inside" can be "a-in-siiiide", and "out" can be ouu-h-uut.

In addition to adding a lot of extra syllables, he also mashes together words pretty heavily. In the previous example, I took out the word "of" in the second iteration of the line because it's so mashed together with "all", but you can barely tell it's there. In the first Verse, "I take a look outside" is more like "uhtake a look outside".

This is a really fun song to sing, but I feel it would take a lot of effort to sound out all the syllables and such used! There are already some songs in the MLK playlist that include extra syllables in the lyrics as you sing, so I felt this was notable to mention. In the lyrics I'll include as many notable instances in brackets as I can.

[Verse 1]
I wake up
Get out of bed
I take a look outside

A new day
In Ponyville
Release a lustful sigh
Sigh~

I can't stop thinking of her
Her colors match her forms and all [of] her curves
My dear Rarity you're always on my mind
It's got me in a bind

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Her eyes shine like all [of?] the greatest gems outside
I need to stop thinking 'bout her before I lose my mind
Hah! Maybe I better swallow my pride!

[Chorus]
'Cause today and tonight
I'm gonna try to find a way to make this pony mine
All [of] the things that I will say to her can't fail [a-]tonight

Today, hah!, I'll go
My heart's beating through my chest because it can't let go
of the feelings that it holds for her so close [a-]inside

[Verse 2]
I rush out to go to her [a-]when she calls my name
I'll help her with all [of?] her chores, heh
I'll take on anything

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The way she flows that tail the wind that hits her mane
All of these things just drive me crazy and insane

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Oooo's~
Cover me baby (Actually not sure if it's "Cover me" or "Call for me", or maybe something else for both these iterations. Help!)
Cover me baby[-ahaa~]

Heheh so... I just thought I'd let you know...

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Aaah's and ooh's~
Make this pony mine
All [of] the things that I [will?] say, [a-]cannot fail, [a-]tonight
Aaah's and ooh's~
Make this pony mine
All [of] the things that I [will?] say, [a-]cannot fail, unintelligible noise that sounds cool

(I would recommend ending it after the unintelligible noise, but as it's fading out)
Haa naah's~
Make this pony mine
Haa naah's~
Make this pony mine

Final Note: This took way too long I was just gonna say screw it but too much time was spent on this ;0;

[Intro]
Hey Scootaloo!
Isn't it awesome that we're back in school again!?
Oh! Oh! And that we get to sit next to each other!?
And, and, Cheerilee is our teacher again and she's like, the best teacher ever!?
Hey! Hey Scootaloo!
HEY! HEY SCOOTALOO!
Awwwah~

[Verse 1]
That time of year has finally come to an end
I find myself sitting back at this desk again
In a place that I hate
Oh boy when's my life gonna change?

Familiar faces gathering all around
From [through?] every nook and cranny in this small town (The lyrics would make sense as "from", but in the song it sounds like he says "through". It's also written as "from" in the lyrics provided in the Youtube description, so I'm not sure what's correct.)
So I sit and I wait
For Cheerilee to start her lessons again

[Pre-Chorus]
These thoughts inside my head are contemplation
Yet they're not enough to curb my frustration
Haah, na na~

[Chorus]
These lessons are surely my demise
Can't you see the boredom in my eyes?
This isn't fun it's prolonged agony
Lasting for an eternity

[Bridge 1]
Now tell me ponies what do you see?
Oh, I know miss Cheerilee!

[Verse 2]
I could care less I just want to get out
Lie on my back and stare at the clouds
Spread my wings and try to fly or ride my scooter around and see the sights
But this place that I'm in
Is forcing me to hear these lessons again

[Pre-Chorus 2]
This place is gonna drive me crazy
My vision is blurred I'm getting kind of sleepy
Haah, na na~

[Bridge 2], or [Verse 3], iunno. Organization is fun.
For everypony it is just a dream
But for me it's more than what it seems
The time spent trying to get out of this place
Is enough to drive anypony insane

[Interlude]
More Haah, na na's~

[Outro]
These lessons again?
When's it going to end?
When's it going to end?
Haah, na~

[Intro]
I swear it now
Swear to the open sky
Someday I'll show you all
This filly will learn to fly!

I swear it now
And I swear it to myself
I'll make something of me yet
And I don't want your help!

[Verse 1]
You look at me like you think
I'll never earn my mark
Well I'll prove you wrong just you watch
I'll leave you all in the dark

So many years I've waited
Under the likes of you
Who would make fun
Point and laugh
And call me "blank flank" too

[Pre-Chorus]
Well listen now
My name is Scootaloo

[Chorus]
I'll soar into that sky
On these wings small and pure
Oh how I dream to fly
My heart is aching for

A chance to show them all
Just how much I could be
They call me chicken but
Soon I'll make you all see

[Verse 2]
My friends are right there for me
Just like we'd always planned
But they're not pegasi like me
So they can't understand

The pain of being stuck here
Under the sky so blue
These feathered wings aren't meant for this
Will I ever make it through?

[Pre-Chrous]

[Chorus]

I'll make you see

[Bridge]
I swear it now
Swear to the open sky
Someday I'll show you all
This filly will learn to fly!

I swear it now
Swear it to myself
I'll make something of me yet
And I don't want your help!

[Verse 3]
Now is my only chance
I'll show them I can fly
I'll prove you wrong or die

Now is my only chance
No matter what the risks are
Can't turn back I've come this far

[Chorus and Bridge together]
(Honestly both parts are decent to sing here. The Chorus is strong, and the Bridge ends on a high note. I'd probably go with the Chorus myself, 'cause it's the Chorus, but it's up to the songmaker that makes this!)

[Verse 1]
Hey Fluttershy listen to me when I say you do not need any of this
There's no way that that changing who you are could prove to us that you're assertive
They can't tell you how to act when they don't know what you've been through
The only one who can decide to try and change this is you

You gotta keep it together!

[Chorus]
Little filly tell me now
Why this angel never leaves the ground
She's not the type to follow through
This story's pages start and end with you

She's left out in the rain
She's too shy to complain
Just suck it up and let it go
How she feels inside, we'll never know

[Verse 2]
One two three four
Her eyes glued to the floor
Five six seven eight
Left feeling second rate

While her dreams pass her by
She wish she weren't so
Shy

[Bridge]
Why can't I just make myself be less scared to try
The things I wish I could do like soar into the sky
The more I try to hide my doubts the more that I find
Perhaps I should give up and just pretend I don't mind

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Fluttershy don't let this end, no one's a perfect friend
This burden's not just yours to bear
You gotta know your friends are always there
So come out of the rain, we didn't mean to cause this pain
Just grab your dreams and don't let go,
They're yours to keep so hold them close

[Introduction]
Hey!'s

[Verse 1]
Do you remember when, you'd hang out with your friends
Long crazy summer nights, you'd never want the day to end
But now the new girl's here, starting fights and causing tears
Hanging with the enemy and preying on your every fear

[Pre-Chorus]
It feels like everywhere we turn
She's just a step ahead

[Babs Chorus x2]
Babs Seed, Babs Seed, what we gonna do?
Got a bully on our tail, we gotta hide, we gotta bail
Babs Seed, Babs Seed, if she's after you
Gotta run, we gotta flee, gotta hurry, don't you see?

[Verse 2]
This level playing field, you should be on our side
This is a battlefield, and it feels like suicide
We're feeling powerless, and she is just too mean
Another victim of the bully-driven hate-machine!

[Scrambles Breakdown]
Don't let her get you down, she isn't worth your while
Turn that sad face upside down, and everypony smile

[Smile Chorus x2]
C'mon everypony, smile smile smile, fill my heart up with sunshine sunshine
All I really need is a smile smile smile, from these happy friends of mine

[AAR Chorus]
Well as I go, remember all the simple things you know
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope
That you will miss me when I'm gone
This is the smile song

[Refrain]
Whoa whoa~

[ALL THE CHORUSES]
(I recommend leading from the Babs Seed chorus to the AAR chorus for the ending, and leaving the Smile chorus in the background)

Note: There is an intro overture in the source video that has an annotation to skip to the actual song; I recommend cutting that intro out! There's also a 1 minute 20 second instrumental solo from 4:40 to 6:00 in the source video that I would actually recommend leaving in, 'cause it's awesome and would take away from the song, being the genre that it is, if cut out. It's up to the songmaker, though!

[Verse 1]
On that last day of solace
A merry repose in the sun
Wrought dragon-lent citation
Its goddess summons to each one

Each subject calm
Every bird in song
What could be wrong?

The palace by next daybreak
No time to fret or be appalled
Uncertainty, confusion
Would clarity be ours at all?

The goddess queen had di-vined
that the swarm would attack, this
realm they'll take back

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Vigilance augers its return
A vow to see everything burn
Preemptively strike the nest
A young protégé's final test

[Chorus]
Lands beyond Equestria
What dangers lie in store
You must hasten hence
to stop another war

Lands beyond Equestria
A frightful destiny
Your final test awaits you now
This quest avails no one
tardy

[Verse 2]
I cannot go with you
A fragile peace I must uphold
But am I ready now
to fly from your comforting hold

Fear not, Twilight
You've been ready all along
Believe you are strong!

You count on strength from knowledge
But know it cannot guide you now
To only trust in instinct
I really don't think I know how

Dispel idle doubt
There's no time; we must
allay such fears to
carry this day

[Pre-Chorus 2]
This burden is heavy even for you
But I know I'll pull through
For I won't be alone in this quest
My friends will help me pass this test

[Chorus]

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
It seems this is our fate
with all my friends here by my side
Nowhere to go but forward
though it may be a bumpy ride

Only one complication
What could go wrong?

An empty throne left silent
an icon vacant once revered
A bellicose extortion
Nocturnal goddess disappeared

This treacherous ploy single-handedly a-
bout to bring the end of this age

[Pre-Chorus 3]
You cannot falter now
Even as our confidence frays
Indecision fades away
Make the queen regret this day

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]
I can't tell you when it started in my mind
When my thoughts would drift to you from time to time
But now this feeling's getting worse
It's like I'm trapped under a curse
A caring hand upon this lonely heart of mine

[Verse 2]
She seems so close, but she's so far away
And I never feel like I can find the words to say
But I don't want to break this spell
Or let these feelings just dispell
But all that I can do is take things day by day (oh-ohh~)

[Chorus] (recommended to not include "whoa-oh~oh-oh's")
Well can't you see
This feeling's killing me
The words I say are never right
I try and try most every night
So know
That I can't let this go
But I'm not ready for this love to start
I want the words to be as clear
As a crystal heart

[Verse 3]
If she were e'r to say that she were mine
Then I would be there for her till the end of time
But I can't tell her in the end
That I want more than just a friend
That I'm just searching for some refuge or a sign

[Chorus]
Well can't you see
This feeling's killing me
The words I say are never right
I try and try most every night
So know
That I can't let this go
But I'm not ready for this love to start
I want the words to be as clear
(last line omitted)

[Bridge]
Cause it isn't like I haven't felt this way before
But all those feelings did was leave me broken on the floor
So now I'm fearing that this love will end the same
Standing alone, my tears mixing with the rain

[Chorus]
Well can't you see
This feeling's killing me
The words I say
They're never right
I try and try most every night
So know
That I can't let this go
But I'm not ready for this love to start
I want the words to be as clear
As a crystal heart

A crystal heart

[Modified Chorus]
The words I say are never right
I try and try most every night
So know
That I can't let this go
But I'm not ready for this love to start
I want the words to be as clear

[Outro]
I can't tell you when it started in my mind
When I wanted to be with her until the end of time...

[Intro]
(Whoh-oh-oh-oh's)

Let's go!

[Announcer]
Hello everyone and welcome! I'm coming to you live from this year's Summer Sun Celebration. We're about to kick off the festivities with the Wonderbolts and their new show, featuring their new captain: Rainbow Dash!

[Verse 1]
The time has finally come
My mind is coming undone
I hear the roar of the crowd
They're singing ready and loud
My heart is racing I've
Found the dream I'm chasing yes
I will be the talk of the town
No one is keeping me down

[Pre-Chorus 1]
For far to long I'd waited for
My life to turn out great
For fame and fortune to be served to me
Upon a silver plate
But I won't let this moment go to waste

[Chorus]
Colored lights are shining in my eyes
A message so sincere they hypnotize
I don't believe I've felt this way before
And now I want it more
So get up off the floor
Here's the truth I finally realize
Live in the moment glad to be alive
That's what we'll do so let the record say
That we were here today
So let me hear you sing

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh's)

[Verse 2]
And now the curtain will rise
I feel the fire in my eyes
My wings they start to unfurl
Like I can conquer the world
And when the moment is right
I'll take off into the night
'Cause this is where I belong
My heart filled up with a song

[Pre-Chorus 2]
It doesn't really matter if I
Pass or if I fail
You can't just let life pass you by
You've gotta grab it by the tail
And know inside your heart that you'll prevail

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Starting over
Crimson clover
We're not getting
Any older
Perform for crowds of thousands
They'll shower us with diamonds
'Cause they've all come to see me
Right here, right now

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh's)

[Chrous] (slower, and with whoa-oh-oh-oh's in the background)

Thanks for the feedback, it's no problem! I'll indeed prioritize, but I'm mainly putting them on paper just to increase possible content for the future with suggestions that have already been fleshed out and checked lyrically as well. This of course makes it much easier for people who would in fact be willing to try their hand at one of them.

I feel it's also good to have a variety of songs already present here in some form on the site because, for me, seeing so many other good suggestions that already exist here that I'm also a fan of made me feel like this project wasn't just going to die, since it had plenty of fans engaging in chatter and requesting more content. I myself replied in agreement on someone's more recent suggestion of Forest Rain's "Canterlot Nights", one of the songs I was going to include myself, so I'm positive I'm looking in the right direction with the rest of my suggestions that I'll put up once they're organized and complete.

I feel this is a project worth following and participating in, so I'm looking forward to experiencing more of MLK!

Thanks for the quick reply! Fair points about the organization, I know y'all have your own system, I can respect it. I'll take a second look at my list as well, but I believe the majority still fit the preferences you listed. Oh, and yes, the second portion of the PM I didn't include here that I'd originally sent expressed my interest in becoming a possible songmaker myself. I do however have to take care of some immediate and more important issues in my life at this time first. Thanks again for the information!

Hi, I had a question about requesting community songs I'd love to see considered and created for the game. I actually PM'd Renard a while back and never received an answer, but here's what I'd asked:

So I've gone through every song that's been released on MLK, those that are in development, and those that have already been requested, and have ended up with a total of 38 outstanding lyrical songs by 18 different artists that I'd like to request to be approved that haven't been done so already. Three of them technically have been requested, but not fully and in the standard format you've laid out for posting in the sub-forum; that is, they don't even have a link or embed Youtube video, so I'd like to include them in my own requests. However, that's quite a lot of songs, and before I go spamming that particular section of the forums, I'd like to ask how you think it could best be done. The sub-forum exists as a list anyway, so should I just make a topic for each song? :D

I wanted to make sure it was alright for one person to just spam new threads for each song, or if I should group them somehow. I also came up with the idea that this particular sub-forum could work better if there was one thread dedicated to each artist with all of the songs by them that have been requested within their own respective thread, instead of a random variety of posts one would have to sift through like I did to figure out what has been requested and what hasn't. I'm not sure how many duplicate requested songs you get from people who don't research, but this could help with that if you feel it a good enough idea!

Glad to see this song is being worked on!! Good choice!
