Fan music! · 6:58pm Feb 28th, 2014

You know, I used to put some effort into the titles of my blogs, but it seems the more straightforward it is, the more people actually read it. Actually, come to think of it, verbose, rambling introductions tends to lessen interest as well, no matter how clever they are. So, at the risk of losing your attention before actually getting to the good part, it is my pleasure to expeditiously present, with much speed and promptness, and without further ado, quickly, swiftly, and in all haste...

Some incredible fan music!

A Prayer for Daylight, by And The Rainfall

In many ways, the song captures the spirit of TSaHF perfectly. It's like the combination of a lullaby, a military parade, and a eulogy. I would go on, but seriously, just listen to it. Listen to that man's voice. It's so smooth I could glide on top of it like a sheet of warm butter.

It's just really, really good. Words cannot describe how awesome it is. Seriously. Everything is so melancholy and mellow and bittersweet. Not over-the-top, chop-onions-under-your-nose depressing, but just sort of... y'know, sad. Resigned. If you took the scenes in the Canterlot cemetery and made them into a song, they would sound exactly like this.

The acoustics are wonderful and the lyrics are poetry. Plus, I'm pretty sure I could fall asleep just listening to the sound of his voice. I mean that in a good way. A great way, in fact.

Another youtube commentor put it in a way that I found myself strangely agreeing with: "I'm enraptured by this in the same way I'm enraptured by Exile Vilify. It's just this profound ambiance. Impossible to explain."

It's like... like...

But instead of fire, it's made of gossamer and morning dew and the distilled essence of a child's prayer.

Thanks aplenty to And The Rainfall (aka SeasideSlumber) for this amazing piece of fan music. You rock my world. In your arms. Tenderly. While singing a bittersweet lullaby until I am soundly asleep with a single, melancholy tear trickling down my cheek.

This is quite possibly the most beautiful way anyone's ever talked about anything I've done and I'm completely over the moon, seriously, thank you so much for your kind words, and for your words in general! Never forget that you alone inspired this in the first place, and that's probably something to be proud of!
