Equestria Divided music Video: Everypony Wants to rule the World. · 11:04am Jun 13th, 2016
I had the plans for a music video almost a year ago, combining Lorde's cover of 'Tears for Fears' 's song, "Everybody wants to Rule the World." unfortunately I didn't write it down for myself I just posted it in a thread. When that thread got deleted without my noticing I lost the work and thought I should just move on.
But then that wasn't the feeling I had when I shared the video idea in the first place.
Thanks for everyone's positivity when i first shared this, for those who missed it and those who wanted to see it again equally here it is again. The 'inspired' imagery that came to me one night while listening to music.
(guide: for now, imagine the scene that is described during the space in the song where the lyrics are presented. Artwork, original and copied or modified will be added where possible.)
Some people and were very enthusiastic about taking over the project, either drawing or hiring artists to draw the scenes and then putting it all together. You don't need my permission. Go nuts. As far as i'm concerned Equestria Divided belongs to everypony.
Enjoy.
Welcome to your life,
-the equestrian banner
there's no turning back,
-show castle of the 2 sisters decayed and crumbling
Even while we sleep,
-a bedroom in the dark, beams of light open in the L shape of a door opening.
We will find you
- The L becomes a large rectangle and a terrified pony quivering under the sheets is revealed
acting on your best behavior
- Trixie and the inquisition looms over a table in a dungeon
Turn your back on mother nature
- Earthborne machines and a few workers push to edge of Everfree
Everybody wants to rule the world
- Twilight Sparkle’s shadow looms behind Cadence and Shining armor sitting on the Canterlot thrones.
It's my own design,
- Applebloom wipes oil off her brow as she builds a new mega machine with Applejack overlooking.
it's my own remorse.
- Rainbow Dash watches on as a Pegasus is held down as others amputate a wing. Scootaloo with glider wings can’t look.
Help me to decide.
-Fluttershy watches on with Zecora at her shoulder as she watches ponies become thorners
Help me make the most of freedom
- under Twilight’s eyes on a balcony slave warriors are marched out to war.
and of pleasure
- Rarity stares at a mirror with head turned, watching as her crystal disease spreads. Sweetie Belle is peeking into the room.
Nothing ever lasts forever
- Pinkie Pie’s inviolate corpse sits at an upward angle in a glass coffin. A single strand of her mane drops off.
Everybody wants to rule the world
- The map of Equestria is tainted into the House borders and colors before it burns.
There's a room where the light won't find you
- camera zooms down a winding staircase to a giant pit where the dragon Spike slumbers hunched over his hoard.
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
- but he’s not asleep. He’s clutching a ruby, staring into it with blank but tear-stained eyes.
When they do, I'll be right behind you
- the gate portals to Tartarus lie open. Massive canine paw-prints line the floor near a massive broken chain. Dead guards and broken cages.
So glad we've almost made it
- In a dark alley a hundred glowing eyes open and the outline of changeling pour out
So sad they had to fade it
- Within a frozen glacier light sparkles and from the shadow a massive city begins to emerge, The dark crystal empire is back,
