The Elegy of the Fingerless Pony · 12:46am Feb 8th, 2013
Hello ponies!
As some of you may have seen, Mr. Snowpony created this rather dramatic piece of artwork, titled The Elegy of the Fingerless Pony:
What you may not be aware of is that this is, in fact, his graphical interpretation of an original work by Lyra herself. Now, I was having a conversation with Lyra—after her marriage to my neighbor Bon Bon, she moved in next door—and she, frankly, isn’t satisfied. She doesn’t feel that the visual medium can adequately capture the sorrow in The Elegy of the Fingerless Pony. Sorry, Mr. Snowpony; her words, not mine! Anyhow, she gets a bit of stage fright, and didn’t really want to play the Elegy solo for such a large audience as the Ponyweb, but with a bit of coaxing on my part, she was willing to play it as a duet.
So, without further ado, I present The Elegy of the Fingerless Pony, written and performed by Lyra Heartstrings, accompanied by Clavier on the clavier:

oh god
it's like I can feel the hooves batting ineffectually on my heart
(it's actually kind of uncomfortable)
Might I ask what you used to record the instruments?

It's all digital, they're both me playing a digital piano, just with different instrument patches.
10/10, good sir. I both laughed and felt pity for poor Lyra. Well done.
I can't help but laugh and feel bad for poor Lyra at the same time, Very nice job there haha
