The night -- quiet and mysterious -- is Luna's responsibility and her one true love, but her years of raising the moon and stars have been met with cold indifference. As pain and jealousy weigh heavily on her mind, it seems that Equestria may have ignored their moon princess for one night too many...
---
Now the hour has come at last
The soft and fading light
Has crossed the west horizon
And has bidden us goodnight
And what a lovely night it is
To walk a moonlit field
To see the softer shades
That are by starlight now revealed
So why is it that now,
When all is quiet and at rest
When candles glow and all the world
Is at its very best
The ponies of Equestria
Should lock themselves away
To shun the moon and wait instead
For Sister's sunny day?
(In umbra Luna est)
Am I so wrong to wish that they
Would see things like I do?
And am I so wrong to think
That they might love me too?
Why shouldn't they adore me?
Is it not within my right?
I'll not be overshadowed!
Mine is not the lesser light!
I've waited long enough now
For them all to come around
And though the Sun may plead and threaten,
The Moon will stand her ground
It comes to this at last:
I will no longer yield the sky
If they cannot love
But one princess alone
See, the Moon is rising
She has come to claim the heavens for her own
And all will know the wonder
Of my dark and jeweled sky
When all the world is wrapped
In an eternal lullaby
So say goodnight to this,
The final setting of the sun,
Tomorrow dawns in darkness;
The nighttime has begun!
(Nocte) - เพลง
I like how the singer actually sounds like Luna. I also appreciate the fact that the singer sounds angry for most of the song, emphasizing the emotion that canonically drowned the Moon Princess's sanity.
Honestly, her voice sounds much more strained. Almost she's trying to force emotion that's not really there; IMO, EileMonty did a much better rendition.
I remember watching this all the time🤧
@@gabudaichamuda2545 agreed 😊
It was jealousy induced anger to be precise.
@@gabudaichamuda2545 You know thats extremely rude.. This resembles Luna more. Both are equally good, go cry about it.
I have a theory as to why Luna may be so upset that her subjects sleep through her night. This took place about a thousand years ago. If Equestria's history mimics some of ours, then I know that in medieval times in real life, people used to think that the night air was toxic. They were terrified of darkness and would completely shut their homes to huddle together. Nobody would want to go out at night, they would board up their windows and sleep surrounded by thick curtains. If Equestria used to be like this, then I could see why Luna would get so upset, because it wouldn't just be about ponies needing sleep, they would actually hide from the night which would make her feel like total crap.
Wow, i'd be pissed too if I was Luna and they hid from my night and all the hard work I put into it. But im not Luna. But I can imagine how she felt. I think that theory is quiet believable.
Holy shit. Didnt know this.
I just thought she was wondering why they slept at the most beautiful time of 'day'
thanks for the history lesson! that's a really cool theory. strange that youtube comments can teach me better than an actual teacher
@@chuuyas89bottleofpetrus7 Yeah, that commonplace among the internet. Teaching better than a teacher. because there isn't any pressure of a failing grade setting you back. At least, for me, i see it as a mentality thing, but the higher chance is that the teaching is technically anonymous, and can be related to a person's interest.
Oh, and for the love of all that is good in this world, THERE ISN'T A TEACHER IN YOUR FACE THANK FUCK-
The comics explain it best
“When all the world is wrapped in an eternal lullaby”
Those words just hits hard for me and you could feel the anger within the singer’s voice.
that was the break between the sadness and the anger
Yeaaah; also the part when she sings “so say goodbye to this the final setting of the sun” or “tomorrow dawns in darkness” really, it gave chills all down my spine
This could almost fit into a Disney-esque musical.
If Disney looked to TH-cam for talent, modern Disney movies would be way better
Kinda channeling hellfire here ngl
i ee this is from 7 years ago..its 2024 you do not want disney to get hold of ANYTHING pony, un;essyou want to se it destroyed
@@blazwings1021 I second that
Thank you +ponyphonic for allowing me to sing your beautiful song. And thank you to the fans of this channel for opening your your hearts to a different take on this piece. I am honored. :-)
+Kristen Calvin Thank you for adding your amazing voice to ponyphonic already awesome masterpiece :D
Your voice LITERALLY gave me chills, shivers, goosebumps! You're amazing! Such a stage voice!
You certainly have a perfect Luna/NMM voice thanks for doing it for them its wonderful
Sorry this is super late, but I just wanted to let you know that this is by far my favourite version of this song. You did a great job!
You deserve to be verified
MLP backstory for those who don't know:
It all started in the magical land of Equestria, where the sisters, Celestia and Luna, ruled as the bringers of harmony to the land. To do this, Celestia raised the Sun at dawn, while Luna raised the Moon to begin the night.
But as time went on, Luna became resentful and jealous of her older sister. She saw as the ponies played in the day Celestia brought forth, and she felt shunned when they always slept through her beautiful night.
One fateful day, she refuses to lower the Moon so that Celestia can raise the Sun. She tries to reason with Luna, but the bitterness in her heart had turned her into Nightmare Moon, the wicked mare of darkness, who vowed to shroud Equestria in eternal night.
Meanwhile, her older sister held the strongest known magic to all pony kind, the Elements of Harmony. Using them, she defeated her, and banished her to the Moon. Celestia then went on to take responsibility for not just raising the Sun, but also the Moon.
I love how it starts off calming and such but then just crescendos at the end into a huge piece with so much feeling
I am with you! You can hear the song going through the stages of her feelings & her getting angrier about the whole ordeal then when she snaps & starts turning into Nightmare Moon.
I love this. You did such a great job with the longer version and Kristen has a beautiful voice
Ikr?! They did very well. :) The longer version, in my opinion, is a great choice for the kind of voice she has. Of course, your's was amazing as well.
+EileMonty A very nice comment from an accomplished singer. I think Kristen will be happy to read this. : )
ikr! sounds just like luna too! ^^
+EileMonty Thank you so so much!! I have been enjoying your channel lately. You have a lot of talent. :-)
+Kristen Calvin Aww thanks soo much, that's a great compliment coming from a talent such as yourself and it's super lovely of you to check out my channel
Although I think the original vocals better conveyed Luna's rage and bitterness, this is still so goddamn AMAZING
Ye.
+DMC4EVERUCCI
Agree. I'm not saying this is bad, but the original definitely conveys the message a bit better.
i know lol
I thought you guys were talking about the lyrics for a minute and I was like ???
+DMC4EVERUCCI The problem is that despite the fact that the first version has amazing range, a lot of people kept complaining that they wanted a female singer.
Luna: AN ETERNAL LULLA-
Celestia: *sends to moon*
Bye
NOOOOOOO!!!
Never speak of that again!
My princess! Come back please! We children of the night miss you!
Don't worry children I will be back.
+Princess Luna Your highness we children of the the night wish for you to return!!
I love the bitterness in “sister” in the line “wait instead for sister’s sunny day”
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨😘☺️I am so proud of my daughter !!! Not just her talent, but her character,gerousity& for the joy and happiness that she gives to all whom are lucky enough to meet her !!!!! This is a gorgeous song ,sang beautifully by " My Special Angel " , Kristen Calvin
+Cindy Calvin Ahh, now your are at the channel of the guy that actually wrote this song, Dane Larson! I was very lucky to have met Kristen (and worked with her - I met you too when we recorded this). Have a GREAT Mother's Day!!!
What a lucky parent you are!
Hey Ponyphonic,
I wrote a Celestia version!! Hope you don't mind!
---
Celestia's Decision (The Sun RIses)
---
Another day dawns over Equestria, but it is not to last. Nightmare Moon casts Equestria into darkness, much to the regret of her elder sister. As Celestia struggles against Nightmare Moon, she must decide between her love for her younger sister and her duty to her subjects....
---
(Celestia to herself, staring out at the sunrise)
Now the dawn has come at last
The soft and brilliant light
Has crossed the east horizon
And swept away the night
And what a lovely dawn it is
To walk through field and glen
To stand amidst the brilliance
as another day begins
So why is it that now,
When all my kingdom is awake
When sunbeams glow and all the world
within their light partake
My dearest sister Luna you
Should lock yourself away
To shun my love and hide instead
while I command the day?
(Celestia, to Nightmare Moon)
Am I so wrong to wish that I
Had tried to care for you?
And am I so wrong to think
My friends should love you too?
Why must our people suffer?
Can't you see this is not right?
We were meant to rule together!
Mine is not the greater light!
I've loved you dearest Luna,
Hoped that you would come around
But if the Moon shall plead and threaten,
The Sun must stand her ground!!
(insert Celestia vs. Nightmare Moon battle scene a la Lullaby for a Princess or Season 4 flashback. Celestia falls from the sky and opens her eyes. The Element of Magic can be seen reflected in her pupils. As she rises to her hooves, she begins singing the next part.)
It comes to this; I fear:
I will not let you rule the sky
If you cannot keep the harmony I've sown
See, the Sun is rising
She has come to save the sister she has known!
And all will know the wonder
Of my bright and radiant light
As I preserve harmony thought it pains my heart to fight!
So say goodnight to this,
The final dusk of Nightmare Moon!
Eternal night has ended;
The dawn will return soon!
Cool
Thanks!
"The Sun must stand her ground!"

Feel free to edit that part in so it won't get lost among all the comments. My fandom name is 007Ben.
Thanks, edit made :)
M. O'Toole this is amazing! :)
I cannot help but almost cry when I heard this. This is beyond next level, this is some transcending shit. Amazing vocals, but the lyrics really hammer in the meaning overall. So well crafted, not a single clichéd rhyme used and not a word wasted. Each one packed with emotion. Simply awe-inspiring and spine tingling especially near the end of Lunas transformation. Nothing less from Ponyphonic.
I loved the original version so much back in the days! And this... Well, this is just gorgeous. I mean, the first one was amazing, but this version is just heartbreaking. For me, at least. Thank you, friend, for such a gift. Luna, poor Luna, i love her so much...
Yeah, she was poor back in the days before Celestia banished her to the moon, but now she is MORE than alright :)
Luna is the best! I can't imagine why the ponies of Equestria didn't like her all that much.
Amseriiah Little That is because she wasn't as known as Celestia
You sleep at night and the ponies of Equestria does too, so because they slept at night they didn't know the wonderful princess who brings in the beautiful moon
That's why every night before I go to bed I say "Thank you for that beautiful night, Dear Princess Luna"
Then you may not understand ponies/humans very well. The intangible and invisible gets a lot less credit than the visible and tangible. The former is taken for granted, whereas the latter's presence or absence is highly conspicuous. Artists are a decent example of this (hence 'starving artist'). The art is visible and appreciated, but the work to be able to make such things and the actual process of making them is not something you usually see.
jnharton That is exactly what I said
I haven't heard the original but I immediately fell in love with this. The vocals and composition is lovely. :3
Same...
Personally, I prefer the male voice, but both versions are very lovely c:
same name
funny seeing you here
I'm getting a sorta Prince of Egypt vibe. Incredible
The impression of "The Moon Rises" for me is so much like "Let It Go" with Luna substituting Elsa. Both started with explaining their previous pain of live. And gradually building up to a point where their heart grew dark. (And somehow I like these kind of music)
That's a horrible comparison. Elsa was stuck with a mysterious power beyond her comprehension that while powerful, meant she could never be close to her family or sister without risking killing them, causes an incident at her coronation and flees into the wilderness to live in isolation. Luna deliberately turns against her only family member out of neglect, trauma and spite, and tries to kill Celestia to usurp the throne and rule under night forever. One is being trapped with an immutable trait that hurts yourself and others and hating yourself for it, the other is _deliberate attempted fratricide._
*Don’t connect Disney with this.*
i do get those let it go vibes from this song! though the context is different, in some ways it’s similar. both luna and elsa embrace their power and become more free to do as they wish, it’s just that luna’s transformation was sinister :D
The singing is really impressive in this. You can basically hear the build up of Luna going from sympathetic and mournful to full-on rage-crazy. Very nice job on all of this, and I had to go compliment the artist on the lovely cover art.
Am I the only one that wants a musical play made from this and lullaby for a princess with dazzling costumes and actors?
Is there a word for something so epic that the word epic isn't epic enough to describe it? If that word exists, this is a example of that word.
there are two words : this video
Everything is relative. Just use the word 'epic' less, and reserve it specifically for situations like this. You're welcome.
+Marriuz Well if they use the word epic less it would mean more but if someone heard them use that word and they use it a lot it wouldn't mean as much
You are absolutely right. Which is why the world is a dark, dark place.
Maybe epic^2
I use to think she was just being silly for what she did, all because she was jealous. Until I starred thinking.
Imagine you have a sister, she’s older, practically perfect in every way. Let’s say she has a special event, everyone shows up. Family, your sisters friends because you don’t have any, even you. She of course nails it, and everyone cheers and celebrates for her. But you also have an activity, say...horse back riding or sports. You also invited everyone. You win, and look into the crowd with a smile on your face. You look at all the faces cheering, and the smile on your face disappear, because none of the faces cheering are people you know. Your family, sisters friends, classmates, none of them showed up.
You’re upset about something, or going through depression, nobody pays attention to you so nobody helps you, you face everything on your own.
Your sister talks about her interest, like being a doctor or something. And everyone is interested and giving feedback, you do the same thing, people talk over you, they don’t pay attention, or they criticize your choice of interest, even if it’s the same as your sister, talking about how you’re not skilled enough to do such a thing.
Now, you are granted the power to change all of that, years of hate in your heart, you choose the wrong option, revenge.
Luna’s actions had serious consequences. She was practically possessed by the darkness. When the evil was sucked from her she admitted she missed her Sister and was sorry. When she gave over to the darkness, she wasn’t in control.
When you have the opportunity to get revenge such as Luna, dont choose the wrong option, you may ruin your life. Something tells me you don’t live past 1000 years of punishment.
Oh damn... Thats deep
It's a story as old as time. It's the reason why Cain was driven by jealousy to murder Abel.
@@bewarethedarkness4721 that's it exactly.
The punishment is in fact longer than a thousand years, it's eternity in hell and unlike Princess Luna, there is no escape after you get there, the only way to escape it is to put your faith in Jesus Christ, who died around 2,000 years ago in our place to absolve us of our sins, past, present, and future, that my friend is the only escape.
I love this in-depth explanation!
Luna's backstory reminds me a lot of Anakin and Obi-Wan. I think that's why it hits me so hard. I love when you're made to feel bad for a villain. Just like with Anakin, Luna wasn't justified, but you totally get why she felt the way she did
XD
So I am not overly fond of the MLP fandom, but holy shit some of the talent of the fans is AMAZING. This is VERY well done and beautiful!
Goosebumps. This gave me goosebumps.
I may have stopped watching the show a while back, but who says I can't enjoy the stuff the fans create?
I love the new verse. I think each version and singer adds something unique to the song and I can't really pick a favorite
This is the first piece of pony fan music I've ever paid for.
I had the chills when the bridge came on, pleasant surprise!!
I loved the original, but THIS...... this is beyond words.......
I can feel the anger in this one. Gave me one or two chills! Bravo!
And I didn't think that the original song could get any more beautiful. Huge round of applause
sooooooooo epic......still want a whole musical!!
Fun fact: the Latin at 1:10 , "In umbra Luna est," translates to "Luna is in the shade / shadow"
No that means the moon is in shade/shadow.Since in Latin the Luna word means moon
@Skylar Cadwell ok
I still love this song after 7 years
CHILLS. I was hoping for a remake of this, and it's better than I ever imagined!
Thanks so much for sharing this updated version! This has always been one of my favorite pony songs ever, and the added verse is fantastic.
Dude... that gave me chills. I mean, the original version did that, too, but this one made me feel like I needed to get a freaking jacket.
Your beautiful work will be deemed well and magnificent for every generation to come.
I was so excited to see some ponyphonic on my subs feed this morning! I love the through-composed nature of this as well as how we can hear the voice of Luna slowly shift into Nightmare Moon over time. Bravo!
+Bassoonify Wow, I never noticed her voice becoming Nightmare Moon before your comment! It such a striking contrast now that I look for it, don't know how I managed to miss it.
I wish this singer was the one who sang Luna's Reply ...
In my opinion, the singer who sang "Luna's Reply" was lovely, but her voice is just too weak to do a song like this.
***** I agree. She had a beautiful voice, but it kinda quavered in matching the notes.
I want to hear Ellie Monty cover the extended version.
I don't think it'll go that well. The singer in this video is actually a singer on television and sang the national anthem during a professional baseball game. I don't think Ellie Monty has a chance anymore lol. I mean, you can really feel the emotion in the way she's singing. Kudos to her.
Well, my wish came true at least. *EileMonty covered the extended addition for Duo Cartoonist's animation.
I love the moon rises so much, it feels like an actual song in the show
the fact that at the start the sadness is so clear but then she begins to become so angry and the emotion in the vocals is so prominent and clear
great work : )
It's been two YEARS since I last asociated myself with the brony community, I am very glad to see that it's creativity still thrives.
Same thing, bro.
How did you manage to avoid the Brony fan works on TH-cam?
*rabbid sloth sound* ima gon 2 bite you.... i love lack or sleep
+n8thegr8 impossible. we are everywhere.
Ariana Darcia
It's not so active and energic nowadays.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. You did a amazing job with this.
Absolutely fantastic. Ponyphonic's music & lyrics (extended, even!), Kristen's beautiful, powerful & evocative voice, and DarkFlame's stellar artistic contribution (esp. love the font, and the wistful way she's staring up @ the moon)... Brilliant.
You're amazing! I can't believe that duo cartoonist didn't use your version!
Phew, I almost thought I was the only one who wasn't too happy with Eilemonty's cover of this song. She did a great job no doubt. But more than once I felt there was a small edge of autotune that really took the authenticity of the song.
Opal Shade Yeah I agree it did sound a bit strange. This version has way more emotion that would've fit the animation perfectly.
They should DEFINATLY use this song in the series someday. Like or replay if you agree
am i the only one who noticed that the beghining piano music is the mlp opening? it goes my little pony 2x aahaa
OH MY GOD YOUR RIGHT
Omg ... I didn't relize that
Beautiful, a song fit for the true princess, absolutely majestic!
Let the moon rise, all hail the new Lunar Republic!
Now we just have to wait 2.5 years for the animation
Personally, Celestia is best Princess, Twilight is my Waifu and Luna makes my favorite time of day possible. Therefor, I live in the New Lunar Republic.
I'm crying this is so beautiful. Amazing job. I love it.
This game me chills. So haunting and beautiful. How is this singer not a professional? She has amazing talent!
I'm literally amazed at how powerful her voice is, it's sounds amazing!
The original was the first thing I heard made by the fandom after joining in between seasons 3 and 4 so it always has had a special spot for me. This sent chills through me, taking such a great song and making it even better, the new lyrics feel like they belong and were not just added on.
It's like hearing the original again for the first time! This is incredible!
WOW! The singing, the lyrics, and the music are absolutely AMAZING!
Even the great and powerful Disney (or Dreamworks for that matter) hasn't done something this awesome and dramatic in this century. Bravo!
Wow, it's great to see that this song is still getting some love. It was definitely one of my favorites from early on a few years ago and that it finally got an extended version is great.
i was unaware that a newer version of this song had been made... love the voice of the singer
i mute the animation and play this song overlapping it, ITS SOO MUCH BETTER!!!
OMG YES
Double RD aw I like Ellie Monty
EXACTLY WHAT I JUST DID LOL
I prefer this version over Eilie Monty's (sorry if I spelled her name wrong!)
I like it because there is great emotion and Kristen's voice is slightly lower and more like Luna's in this version
Both are really good and I respect your opinion because they're both close and not so different from each other.
I kinda liked Elie's cover because Kristen kinda paised randomly at some points and that kinda bothers me for some reason, it still sounds great though
That was magical. I love the new verses! Excellent work, ponyphonic, and kudos to Ms. Calvin!
Ooh! The new verse is absolutely beautiful! 😍 another reason to love this song.
Amazing. So sad though. Luna is such an amazing pony.
This version is currently my favourite villain song.
Kristen Calvin dod a wonderful job singing this! I love the emotion she puts into her voice. Great job you guys!
It's 1:30am. Was going to go to bed, but found this. I think I'll be listening to this for a while yet.
Duo Cartoonist refuses to let anyone except you and Kristen post a version of their animation with this cover. Would you consider posting it for those who prefer this version?
Sorry, I want to be respectful of their artistic decisions, so no, I won't be reposting the animation with Kristen's vocal.
Alright, thanks anyways
I'm also pretty confused why they didn't use Kristen's vocals. Seems much more professional to me.
I love both versions but I feel like cover has more emotion
Animation at points had it planned when I put it over the animation but it lacked in animation pacing.. Kristen's version would have made the animation alot less smooth.. since she has shorter notes and frequent short pauses before lyrics.. it wouldn't flow properly with the animation.
This takes me back! Splendid revision!
I'm speechless at the beauty of this cover, absolutely astounding.
Just as beautiful as Lullaby for a Princess 💚💚💚
This is astounding. from the amazing piano to the stunning vocals and voice of the singer.
I really liked how the singer sang like how Luna felt back at those days before she became Nightmare Moon - shouting out of anger because the reasons she had (In the description above) - but still keeps her beautiful voice. incredible song, Ponyphonic, keep up the good work.
Okay, I'm beyond chills !!! My heart was sooo full of emotion,hearing this beautiful song sung by the princess of the moon! I felt it build from hurt to exploding anger as she prepares to take over the daylight ! What an amazing job Kristen ! You brought it to life and took me through the story and brought me to tears ! I LOVED it !!!!
Great job with this! It sounds amazing!
Also, I'm not sure if the artwork's link works.
+Octavia Harmony Huh, thanks for letting me know. I'll just link to his DeviantArt then.
This genuinely gave me chills.
Well done!
I love all these music! It is so beautiful and professional. Whenever something new comes out I buy it instead of downloading it to support the artist who composes these. It is just so beautiful.
A majestic masterpiece as always - thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talents with us!
It's a good version, but it seems as if the pitch was higher than the singer is entirely comfortable with. I also want to say the emotion felt more authentic in your own voice, but I think that's just a familiarity bias. It's still a hauntingly beautiful song and well performed and characterized by Miss Calvin.
EDIT: I am ambivalent about the inserted part. It fits very well, it is a good part, the text feels right, but - it interrupts the buildup to the end rather harshly.
Oh and please everyone understand one thing: I love it. I do not care to criticise what I do not value. I have listened to this and the Lullaby so many times I cannot even count. All I say I try to say with respect and I do say it with love.
I agree with you on her voice, her voice at some parts seem off
I agree with pretty much everything you said, very much including the familiarity bias part, and you said it far better than I could. The new part does feel like it takes away from the buildup, as it is a decidedly calmer part than those before and after it. That buildup of emotion and power, both in singing and the instruments, was one of those things I absolutely loved about the original.
All that said, there's no doubt in my mind that as I'll grow more used to this new version it'll grow on me. It is such a beautiful song, after all.
+NotMeButAnother I too feel really bad about saying this, because Miss Calvin may have a very fine voice for certain things, but this was just way too much a stretch for her instrument. She is not yet ready, or have the vocal range to be a Broadway belter-torch singer. Maybe some day, but not now. Again, I don't want to crap on somebodies hard work, and wish her all the best in her singing career and am now going to check out more of her work on her channel, because she does seem to have potential.
I personally don't have a problem with people singing songs meant for the opposite gender. The original version far better captured the pain, and beauty, of this amazing song.
+NotMeButAnother I definitely agree with you, but I feel as though she might be trying to dramatize her tone of voice at certain lyrics in the song such as at th-cam.com/video/4vBJAgbiBTY/w-d-xo.html when she sings "..adore me" in a bit of a romantic tone which is kind of jarring compared to how she sings "Why shouldn't they.." in an angry tone of voice and it is inconsistent with the tone of the song.
Another issue is that I think that she might also have a bit of a whistle or a sharp "hiss" to her s's. For instance at th-cam.com/video/4vBJAgbiBTY/w-d-xo.html
And one other problem may be in how she sings some parts like at: th-cam.com/video/4vBJAgbiBTY/w-d-xo.html It might just be my bias from listening to the original too many times but her singing of "...in an eternal lullaby..." feels odd for some reason.
But up until 1:27 and for some points after I think she sounds perfect. She really really captures the voice of Luna and overall, I think the song is fantastic and that Miss Calvin is a wonderful singer in it.
+Light Solver Hi, regarding the "s" problem, that was an error on my part, and the Bandcamp version has been fixed in that respect.
The Master hath returned!!
Seriously I wish I could write music like this, you were able to add on to the already great melody and add another section that improves the overall feel of the song. Seriously great work and great singing by Kristen she nailed it!!
THE CHILLS ARE ALMOST TOO MUCH
Just received the biggest eargasm in my life 5 stars, no make it 10, make it over 9000
This sounds like it'd be in a movie!
Oh cool it's no longer down and I can comment awesome!
she had one sentence, and she just had a plus on this song. OMG it's a such butifull work !
I can never get over how soothing and full that vibrato is. I don’t think I’ve ever heard one that’s better.
Not even in the MLP fandom but this song! Beautiful!
I just wanna say, this song nearly had me in tears. It's beautiful, and it really captures everything I envisioned Luna feeling before she made the decision to make the night last forever. On a more personal note, I'd like to say thank you for yet another song that inspired how I portray the princesses in my writing. You are amazing and I can't wait for your next piece!
Absolutely gorgeous work once again, Ponyphonic. I adored the original, now you've made me love the song even more so! Keep up the amazing work
I can imagine a Disney animation for this song, luna running through the castle of canterlot while singing this song and ending on the balcony with the full moon behind her.
This is amazing. I first noticed with Lullaby of a princess, then Starlight Waltz the full one, and you are one of the artists i'd come to for a peaceful tune. Thought you really can't call this peaceful xD Althought in it's own way it is.
woah, all the things you added just made it so much more amazing.
OMG! An all time favorite of mine! Sounds just as amazing if not better (though I have a very special place in my heart for the original) ! I never know when to expect a new upload from you guys, But when you do upload, I know it's going to be something amazing!
This is a satisfying bit of nostalgia!
Lovely, lovely!
Omg, your voice... Amazing ! I can feel the rage.
And the art WOOOOAW. I love it.
To see an updated version of this is lovely :)
Astonishing voice and composition! I absolutely love this and the lullaby.
Outstanding, breathtaking, stunning. My jaw dropped the first time I heard it, I am watching the clock for Duo Cartoonist's animation.
She’s got a lovely singing voice
O wow, this is so amazing! You two did a fantastic job on this, defiantly gonna grab it.
Beautiful!
