    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    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...

    Lyrics:
    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 (the moon is in shadow)
    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
    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 at this,
    The final setting of the sun
    Tomorrow dawns in darkness
    The nighttime has begun!
    Nocte! (night!)

      Redundant, bastardized parodies and remixes of original artists' already perfect music seems to be the brony community's forte. No shade, obviously I'm a brony myself, but I feel like Dane's actual musicality and genius is so overlooked in the sea of derivatives of his art.
      The fact that the animation featuring she-who-must-not-be-named's ridiculously autotuned and lifeless version of this song has surpassed his original upload's viewcount and has allover gained much more traction than his and Kristen's original, subjectively superior versions cements this, and it's a shame. I almost wish he was less lenient about usage of his music and protected his IP more, even if I do admire the fact that he doesn't gatekeep his work.

      @@bea7823 There's not really a problem with it, no, so long as Ponyphonic is fine with it, that's their prerogative. The animation is good, and I understand why a version with animated visuals will garner more attention and hype than one without. I just think their choice of singer for the project was a shame and I'm not fond of how overlooked Dane and Kristen's versions are in favor of starpower.
      I think you misunderstand my tone. My feelings on the matter aren't vitriolic, I'm just making an observation on what was at one point a longstanding trend in the Brony fandom (this most notably happened with Eurobeat's "Discord" as well, when TLT remixed it). Low-effort parodies and derivatives that rely on fandom gimmicks and big names seem to get more traction than their original and often superior counterparts, sometimes without much credit or fanfare for the original artist.

    • @bea7823
      @bea7823 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      @@MasqueradeRose I would disagree on classifying the Discord remix as “low effort”, although I do agree it often misleads people into thinking it’s the original.
      But I feel like I’m missing some context. Did the other singer do something bad I’m unaware of? You’re talking like it’s more than just a vocal preference, with the whole “she-who-must-not-be-named” thing.

    Now that Duocartoonist's incredible animation has released, I'm here to pay tribute to the original. Honestly I still think this is the best version; Ponyphonic just puts so much emotion into his songs, and his voice is truly phenomenal. His songs may be few and far between, but the quality surpasses every other musician in the fandom. From The Moon Rises, to Lullaby for a Princess, to Applejack (my favorite country song ever) to Walls, to my favorite song of all time Harmony Ascendant, Ponyphonic knocks it out of the park every time he composes. Utterly phenomenal work. Ponyphonic has well earned the honor of being my favorite brony musician. I cant wait to hear what he comes out with next.

    I find the difference between this version and EileMonty's cover truly astounding. By that I mean the singing voice somehow made the song style different. This version makes me think of a stage musical like les mis, but eilemonty's is a lot more like a Disney movie song.

    *[Intro instrumental]:*
    *Luna walks out of the shadows of the treeline. She appears as she did in episode 2, but her cutie mark consists of only the Moon. Mimic Celestia walking out of the castle in the _Lullaby for a Princess_ animation as a minor nod to sisterly similarities.
    *Now the hour has come at last,*
    *This soft and fading light,*
    *Has crossed the west horizon*
    *And has bidden us goodnight.*
    *She stands atop a hill, the camera panning across the meadow before her. The full moon is visible in the sky.
    *And what a lovely night it is,*
    *To walk a moonlit field,*
    *Transition to Luna walking through the field of night-blooming flowers, a quiet smile upon her face.
    *And see the softer shades*
    *That are by starlight now revealed.*
    *Camera angles to a low vantage point, allowing for a clear view of the flowers and grass tinted blue under the moonlight, allowing for a shot of Luna lovingly caresses the moonflowers. She pauses as a look of pain flickers across her face.
    *So why is it that now,*
    *When all is quiet and at rest,*
    *Brief montage of particularly noisy, active, or dangerous diurnal animals heading to sleep.
    *When candles glow and all the world*
    *Is at its very best,*
    *She stands atop a cloud, gazing over a beautiful moonlit landscape. Moon has noticeably moved across the sky.
    *The ponies of Equestria*
    *Should lock themselves away,*
    *To shun the Moon and wait instead*
    *For Sister's sunny day?*
    *Her gaze shifts to an idyllic rustic village. The only ponies still outside turn away from the night and head in, doors locking and windows slamming shut as they look nervously into the dark. Camera pans back to show a still, unlit town.
    *_I N U M B R A L U N A E S T ._*
    *Luna looks into a pool of water, gazing at her own face. She takes off her crown to stare at it before sighing and taking flight. Her reflection stays a bit longer, it's eyes turning to slits as it turns to watch her leave.
    *Am I so wrong to wish that they*
    *Would see things like I do?*
    *Montage of still images in the style of WarpOut's _Lullaby for a Princess_ animation with ponies favoring and praising Celestia over Luna. More impressive gifts, larger crowds, more attention to their respective courts, and others. With each new picture the shadows over Luna grow darker. Include parts of scenery suggestive of Nightmare Moon or her eye, to represent her growing influence over Luna.
    *And am I so wrong to think*
    *That they might love me too?*
    *Montage continues.
    *Why shouldn't they adore me?*
    *Celestia sits on her throne, presiding over a large group of ponies. Cut to Luna sitting upon her's, the throne room dark and terribly empty.
    *Is it not within my right?*
    *I'll not be overshadowed,*
    *Mine is not the lesser light!*
    *Her face fills with rage as she leaves, tearing the doors from their hinges. A black blotch is visible around her cutie mark. The Moon visibly inches towards the horizon before coming to a complete stop.
    *I've waited long enough now*
    *For them all to come around,*
    *Camera cuts to directly in front of Luna, looking into her angry face. In the background, translucent images of the past flicker by, each firming her resolve.
    *And though the Sun may plead and threaten,*
    *The Moon will stand her ground!*
    *Luna storms into Celestia's room. We only see their shadows as they argue, until the larger one flies away.
    *And all will know the wonder*
    *Of my dark and jeweled sky!*
    *Luna stands on a castle balcony, looking over the kingdom with a determined visage. The Sun has begun to rise, but she does not move the Moon. The darkness around her cutie mark has increased in size, looking less like a natural part of her and more like a stain. Camera focuses on her blue mane as it starts to slowly wave from invisible winds, the speed increasing until at "jeweled sky" it erupts into a starry mane. At the very edge of the camera, the dark stain on her cutie mark slowly continues to spread.
    *As all the world is wrapped*
    *In an eternal lullaby!*
    *Cut to a distance view. The figure of Luna is vaguely visible, her eyes glowing white. The night radiates from her and slowly begins to fill the sky, flowing in an almost organic manner as it replaces the normal morning sky.
    *So say goodnight to this,*
    *The final setting of the Sun!*
    *Focus switches to the horizon. The Moon is far higher than before. Part of the spreading night stretches outwards, forming what resembles a claw that takes hold of the Sun and physically drags it down past the horizon. The camera leaves before we see it entirely disappear. Rather than normal animation, this section is a rapid sequence of stills to emphasize the unnaturalness of it.
    *Tomorrow dawns in darkness,*
    *Return to the castle. It is drawn in a vaguely more sinister way. Luna stands, closely resembling her current self, as shadows begin to edge in on her. Vague images of starring eyes are visible within.
    *The nighttime has begun!*
    *The shadows reach her. The black stain around her cutie mark spreads, being replaced with the light purple that surrounds Nightmare Moon's. Darkness spirals around her, keeping us from seeing as she transforms.
    *_N O C T E ._*
    *Nightmare Moon rears as lightning flashes across the night sky, visibly laughing.
    *[Closing chords]:*
    *Zoom in to NMM's face. Then to eye. Then on the last note, the eye becomes transparent, showing Luna as a child (her cutie mark as it currently is, not the purer thing that it once was) leaning on her hooves against the inside of the eye, looking out with horror as tears stream from her eyes. Her pupils dart around frantically as though begging for help.

    I actually thought I would end up liking a female cover better myself, since I usually lean more towards a girl singing from a girl's perspective, and the same for guys. But, I've heard many versions (including EileMonty's), and yet I still can't help but prefer this version above them. I just think his voice better suits this song and type of music. He puts more emotion into it, with out having to be over the top or dragging out certain parts that I've heard many of the female covers try to do. I think the one that came the closest was the German cover by Beispielmusik.

    I am in choir, my choir teacher is really picky, and when I say picky I mean like extremely, he would not have one bad thing to say about this, not the diction, dynamics, lyrics, or anything. And no I am not trying to brag ,at all, but he is pretty much the best. As in he cares about how the music sounds, not like a second grader trying to teach someone how to paint but like an adult who wants the picture to look right.

    How did I have no idea this existed and was the original!? This is so much better! No offense to the lady who sung the one in that animation, she sounded pretty, but her inflections were kind of off and it always bothered me. (For example: When she says "See things like I do" it doesn't flow well with the rest of the song.)
    Not only that, I can also clearly relate to the male voice SOOOO much better.

  • @boxes_of_boxes
    @boxes_of_boxes 9 ปีที่แล้ว +688

    To be honest, all the female covers I've heard of this sound too... sweet. This is Luna giving in. This is not a sweet and delicate song, and I find the deeper, richer voice suits it well. As for people saying "But its a dude singing for a chick!" need to stop gendering voices. It's perfect the way it is.

    • @helenanilsson5666
      @helenanilsson5666 5 ปีที่แล้ว +43

      In other words, if it was sung by a woman, the more appropriate range would be a contralto (the darkest feminine voice range, covering E3 - F5). A low alto and a high tenor (highest natural male voice) can come really close in range so yeah, there should be some overlap between which songs are for women and which are for men.

    • @DUWANGlai_kangyi
      @DUWANGlai_kangyi 5 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      To be honest, Ellie's cover was very well done... Not only does she sing beautifully, but she also knows how to act. The emotion in her cover hit me more than this version, which doesn't mean I don't like it! It's just that Ellie's is perfect in my opinion. But I can see where you're coming from, I also dislike most female covers of the song.

    • @JacksSkye
      @JacksSkye 5 ปีที่แล้ว +44

      "Stop gendering voices"... I LOVE that. A big, huge amen. He does such an amazing job at portraying the emotion here and it's STUNNING.

    • @EveryThingGirl238
      @EveryThingGirl238 5 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      I think the idea is that it starts off sweet as Luna sings, until that is her anger around 'Should lock themselves away.' in which is starts to get lower as bitterness envelopes her heart.
      At "Why shouldn't they adore me.' I'm thinking her voice turns more richer as you suggest, she is basically giving in at these parts. So her sweet voice turning to more deeper tones would make sense.

    @Bosspferd 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    To explain what i meant :D
    The way you sing it, Luna sounds confident, truly believing in herself. It sounds like she knows that she´s about to betray someone she loves, and she regrets it, but the pain of not being loved is stronger, and she´s really convinced that what she´s about to do is her right.
    As far as I can tell all covers lack that, by singing it either too whiny, too soft or too harsh.
