Life is only what you make of it. Why not make it positive?

When Octavia realizes her love of music is no longer shared by her usual audience, she must embark on a journey of self-discovery, facing challenges,obstacles, and an obnoxious companion. With the fate of Canterlot's culture hanging in the balance, she must not fail. How hard can saving a city be?

This is definitely an interesting concept. The idea of being tired of the world as it is and deciding to push change, to forward the arts and by extension, the world. Well done, and I look forward to this story

Ummm... Please could you do LOTSSSS MORE CHAPTERS!

This is great, good show mate! :twilightsmile: It's funny because my story is only one word different from yours, but probably not as good as yours, lol. It's called "The Strings Of Life", intead, lol. But otherwise though, nicely done, keep it coming. :derpytongue2:

Are you a musician yourself or did you do research before writing this? Octavia's dialogue wasparticularly brilliant in terms of musical language

This is certainly a refreshing take on what I thought was going to be a rather formulaic story. I was pleasantly surprised. Well done.

>>Reeve Yes, I am a musician, I played trombone from fifth grade through high school, so more musical dialogue will definitely be included!

Pretty good so far, I'd say. I've always liked Vinyl and Octavia because they seem like the least likely of friends, yet they seem to compliment each other pretty well. You've done a good job of capturing that. Looking forward to more. :twilightsmile:

I am enjoying this greatly. With all the other stories I'm subscribed to this is one of the few that I really smile when I see it has a new chapter.

I'm noticing you're taking ideas from my story and putting them into yours, I don't exactly feel comfortable with that. Your story title is only one word different than mine, and the characters are nearly the same. But however, if this gets popular,(which it looks like it is) I'll read more of your story, and see your writing stylr, and see if I ould do a similiar yet effective approach. Btw, thanks again for willing to help me with improving my story.

I assure you, I would never post another's work as my own. The ideas in the story are original, and I had htese chapters mostly written before I joined FimFiction or knew your story existed: that's why I was able to post 9500 words worth of story in four days. The story is also on FanFiction.net, which predates my knowledge of your story by quite some time. If you have further questions or concerns, feel free to pm me, and I will do my best to make sure our stories stay straight.

I actually really enjoyed this. I think you get a little repetitive with your descriptions, but not too bad. I look forward to more. I thought you had abandoned this, honestly, and I was a bit sad. Good to see it's still alive.

Swing... cello/bass... piano... trumpet... oh I know where this is going and I am giddy with excitement :pinkiehappy:

WHERE IS THE UPDATESSSSS? I WILL GO CREEPERCRAZY IF I SEE NO UPDATESSSS!

Glad to see it's still alive. I was just thinking about this story yesterday.

This story has received very little attention, which is a real shame because it is quite brilliant

5006074 Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Heads up, I didn't receive any notification that this story had a knew chapter published, it was only by luck that I noticed it. Still, awesome chapter as always, I assume it's drawing close to an end now

5811499 That's weird. I don't know why it would do that...

Well that was nice, and I'm glad you did bring it to a close, if you had written many more chapters it would have started to drag. As it is however, it is as long as it needs to be and it was a pretty great story throughout, well done :twilightsmile:

6155569 Thank you for your support! I was thinking about a sequel where they go on tour. Thoughts?

6155887 If you think you can make it work and that's what YOU want to do then certainly write it, I'll be sure to try and read it if you do. My own opinion would be that this doesn't really need a sequel, but like I said, it's ultimately all down to what YOU as the author wants to do. And who knows, a sequel might help get this one more attention, it certainly deserves more than it got.
