Yesterday I heard this song on the radio, and I immediately thought that the instruments sounded like a perfect OctaScratch song.
So I did the most reasonable thing and rewrote the whole thing to fit our OTP even better.
If anyone reading this is a YouTube celebrity and wants to make this an actual song, I'm taking all offers. :ajsmug:

[Vinyl] [Octavia] [Both]

We are Harmony and Discord
You are land and I am sea
But as long as you are with me
There's no place I'd rather be

I've composed forever
Played in every key
But until I have met you
My music missed a beat

With every step we take
Canterlot night and day
Violet harmony
Town at the mountainside
Canterlot day and night
Blue electricity

If you give me a note
I will play it
If you've got something to say
Sing, don't say it
It’s our masterpiece
No one-day hit
When I am with you
There's no place I'd rather be

No no no no no
No place I’d rather be
No no no no no
No place I’d rather be
No no no no no
No place I’d rather be

We are two musicians
Each wrote the perfect piece
But before we were together
It just felt incomplete…

“Old and boring sleep-aid”
“Newfangled simplicity”
When we both play together
There’s no place I’d rather be

With every step we take
Canterlot night and day
Violet harmony
Town at the mountainside
Canterlot day and night
Blue electricity

If you give me a note
I will play it
If you've got something to say
Sing, don't say it
It’s our masterpiece
No one-day hit
When I am with you
There's no place I'd rather be

No no no no no
No place I’d rather be
No no no no no
No place I’d rather be
No no no no no
No place I’d rather be

When I am with you
There's no place I'd rather be…

[Bridge]

Yeah
Yeah
Yea-yea-yeah-yeah

If you give me a note
I will play it
If you've got something to say
Sing, don't say it
It’s our masterpiece
No one-day hit
When I am with you
There's no place I'd rather be

No no no no no
No place I’d rather be
No no no no no
No place I’d rather be
No no no no no
No place I’d rather be

When I am with you
There's no place I'd rather be

No no no no no
No place I’d rather be
No no no no no
No place I’d rather be
No no no no no
No place I’d rather be

When I am with you
There's no place I'd rather be…

This is pretty awesome. Nice job with the lyric adaption! I eagerly await someone to record this version. :rainbowkiss:

~DeepShift

looks awesome I'm gonna signal boost the shit out of this until it gets done:coolphoto:

That was quite a good rewrite. I would honestly love to hear it done in actual audio.

Woot~! :pinkiehappy:
Mission accomplished. :moustache:

I would love to see nowacking and eilemonty do this cover. It would be worth it.

Nice! It took me a moment to kinda adjust myself to hear the lyrics you wrote in place of the original, and I wasn't disappointed once I was able to. Loved it! I hope someone out there can actually do a cover for this, that'd definitely make my day. :pinkiehappy:

Love it. A little musical redo, maybe to fit music in it that's more on vinyls wavelength...

And I'd switch "violet harmony" from octavia to vinyl and "blue electricity" vice versa in the second repetition. Makes for a nice little change and gives some progress of attitude in the piece. Just an idea, though.

Nice. It'd be great to get going. Best ship deserves best lyrics. :pinkiehappy:

Ah yes, I thought about that, too. Haven't really decided yet, either, I guess this is just one of two possible versions.

I think that would be one of the highlights of my year.
