For those of us that enjoy reading lyrics: Now the hour has come at last The soft and fading light Has crossed the west horizon And has bidden us goodnight And what a lovely night it is To walk a moonlit field To see the softer shades That are by starlight now revealed So why is it that now, When all is quiet and at rest When candles glow and all the world Is at its very best The ponies of Equestria Should lock themselves away To shun the moon and wait instead For Sister's sunny day? In umbra Luna est (the moon is in shadow) Am I so wrong to wish that they Would see things like I do? And am I so wrong to think That they might love me too? Why shouldn't they adore me? Is it not within my right? I'll not be overshadowed! Mine is not the lesser light! I've waited long enough now For them all to come around And though the Sun may plead and threaten, The Moon will stand her ground And all will know the wonder Of my dark and jeweled sky When all the world is wrapped In an eternal lullaby So say goodnight at this, The final setting of the sun Tomorrow dawns in darkness The nighttime has begun! Nocte! (night!)
In as much as I LOVE this version, I wish the final verse was repeated and sung even stronger the final time, with the final "begun" being sung on a high note. Just me, but nevertheless, I loved it.
Of everything I've heard from this channel. This track has had me gobsmacked. Great cover and truly feel your soul with every word. Thank you and well done /)
Even though I know this channel is no longer use, and this message will probably go forever unread. I wish to say you have an amazing voice and there are a number of songs you do that I absolutely love, but this is by far the best. Whenever I want to listen to this particular song I always search out your version specifically because all others sound like complete shit compared to this one, in my opinion you completely put Elie Monty and Ponyphonics in the ground with this cover XD now that I'm done gushing, again you're amazing haha
I like the light trembling vibrato in your voice at certain parts. Your tone quality is perfect for this song. I love how you phrase certain words like “jewel” “wrapped” “darkness”. Please consider making a “final”/“finished” version of this - maybe with the additional verses. Would donate to see it happen - I am surely not alone. Cheers!
Wow. You sing incredibly well in this range, especially considering your other work. Really loved the extra harmonies, they worked really well but I still feel you stayed true to the original. Great work!
Oh my! Your voice is just so BEAUTIFUL, Feather! I think playing around/experimenting is important. I will definitely admit I had trouble reaching those notes when I did a cover of this one as well. I appreciate the beginning you gave it (the crickets and the like), and the harmonies, the emotion. I think you achieved making it "sound new"--I don't hear many who try to add things to it. You know, the harmonies are almost like Nightmare Moon and Luna are singing as one. Looking forward to more!
>w< yay! I'm glad you liked it, and I was hoping that that would come across, a sense of hopelessness that this path had been began and now can't be retraced, that the result is now known but must be pursued regardless.
If this cover is a nuclear explosion of awesomeness, the "an eternal lullaby" part was a grenade somebody threw into the explosion, to add an extra explosion of awesome
I agree! :3 Thank you for listening, I really appreciate you doing so with a view like that, means you pick up on what the person intended, rather than 'comparing' all the time ^w^ It's a breath of fresh air! haha thanks again
I really, really wanted to make it completely originally sung. The male ones are still under there but I did a female voice over in my chest voice and then two in my head voice opera/classical-style - so glad you liked them! :DD
This was a very nice cover to one of the most underrated songs in the fandom. I'm still jealous of your voice. It was awesome meeting you at Bronycon and thank you for the vocal advice and hope to be as good as you one day, well maybe not as good as you, but decent at least lol. Can't wait for your next collab or cover! ^_^
I feel like this song doesn't really need a drastic change...This is definitely one of ponyphonic's "gold" songs--Just like Lullaby for a Princess. That's why, when I did my parody of it, I changed really nothing but the lyrics xox; It's just too good! And of course I noticed~ I love listening to the interpretations of every singer who undertakes something like this! Thank you for doing it :3
One of my favorite pony songs ever, by one of my favorite (if not my favorite) male brony singer, plus my favorite female brony singer? Yesyesyesyesyesyes! I got chills. And I kind of wanted to cry. You are too amazing. T^T What a great way to come back to the brony fandom after a forced brief hiatus!
OH MY GAAAWWWWD this is already one of my favorite brony songs there are, and then it had been covered by one of my favorite vocalists there are (Eilemonty) and I freaked out because it was so good. AND THEN MY #1 FAVORITE VOCALIST COVERED IT AGAIN and I cannot express my joy right now, especially after you collabed with my favorite music-maker, Aviators, about one of my favorite shows (Supernatural) and you are just an amazing gem, just so you know.
Och lass! You can do a mean Luna! both figuratively and literally. I love how you did the subtle modulations of voice to transition between disappointment, resentment and megalomania. *insert Citizen Kane clap here*
OMG that was beautiful! A wonderful rendition, executed masterfully. But what really gets me is the end, it has a ping of sadness to it. Almost as if Celestia is sighing at what her sister has become. Or as if Luna knows deep down that this is wrong. I like to read into music XD
I like how you tried to introduce a little aggression into your voice, a bit of grit so to speak, helping to emphasize the anger, sadness, but also I would venture to say powerlust NMM feels and this song tries to convey. Really added to this, IMO.
Mmm, you did well. I loved the part where you over-sung the chant (the really deep singing part) I'm jealous... One day soon i might sing this song. Good work, feather!
I've listened to this version too many times. One of the reasons this is so great is, in my opinion, a simple one. You sing it in the correct octave!!! I'm probably biased because I'm a female singer (soprano actually XD) and I also have the range for this song. That and I'm used to hearing the ponyphonic version. It's so much easier to get the right tone and mood when the lower octave is used. I've always imagined Luna as an alto. In my opinion, the Eliemonty version doesn't get this kind of mood because even half an octave up or whatever it is, it just sounds too "airy" (not the right word, but I can't think of anything better). I don't care that you struggle on the lowest note a bit because everything else totally makes up for the 1 and 1/2 times it's too quiet. I applaud thee!
Thank you very much, I think you understand exactly what I was trying to do. Yes, the verse verse had some hard to reach notes @_@ haha! But I knew that going into it, I just wanted to provide a new interpretation on the song, not a drastic one, but I'm very glad that you noticed my efforts! :'3 Thank you!
personaly i like PKEmi's version better. no flack to this version though. the fandom is shelling out so many good songs that its getting hard to pick favorites.
aw yay! Glad you liked it! :'DDD I couldn't think of any cover that had done that, so I decided to put in a three vocal layer over it, trying to 'make it my own' >w
You actually sound a lot like Luna while singing this!!!! Your so good at singing, I'm jealous! but i still love you! keep on singing awesomely Feather!
This..... this what Luna's voice needs to sound like in the show
Dusty Flora your right it better
Yeesssss, thank you I totally agree, that would be so amazing!!
I disagree.
Agreeable! I sometimes imagine that Luna should have a more soft but still powerful voice. I think that fits the moon a lot.
10 years, but still one of the best voices that i know.
It's like a villian song that makes you sympathetic...
Ikr
..anyone else like the In Umbra Luna Est part soooo much???? cuz I do
me to
For those of us that enjoy reading lyrics:
Now the hour has come at last
The soft and fading light
Has crossed the west horizon
And has bidden us goodnight
And what a lovely night it is
To walk a moonlit field
To see the softer shades
That are by starlight now revealed
So why is it that now,
When all is quiet and at rest
When candles glow and all the world
Is at its very best
The ponies of Equestria
Should lock themselves away
To shun the moon and wait instead
For Sister's sunny day?
In umbra Luna est (the moon is in shadow)
Am I so wrong to wish that they
Would see things like I do?
And am I so wrong to think
That they might love me too?
Why shouldn't they adore me?
Is it not within my right?
I'll not be overshadowed!
Mine is not the lesser light!
I've waited long enough now
For them all to come around
And though the Sun may plead and threaten,
The Moon will stand her ground
And all will know the wonder
Of my dark and jeweled sky
When all the world is wrapped
In an eternal lullaby
So say goodnight at this,
The final setting of the sun
Tomorrow dawns in darkness
The nighttime has begun!
Nocte! (night!)
this sont makes me sad cause celestia saw this happening to her sister but was too proud to do anything about it
In as much as I LOVE this version, I wish the final verse was repeated and sung even stronger the final time, with the final "begun" being sung on a high note. Just me, but nevertheless, I loved it.

+Allison Carlberg Loop it by right clicking the video two times and selecting loop
+Leah Jimenez I'm mobile. Usually just put it in it's own playlist and repeat.
Allison Carlberg Oh XD
+Leah Jimenez didn't know that was a feature, thx. now i can delete that 3 or so gigs of downloaded music for looping :P
I love this. I love it because you even covered the chorus, when most covers dont. I also love how you did multiple voices in some parts!
This is still the best cover, no debate, no question.
when i saw the OLDACCOUNT thing on your name i thought it said old coconut
+Luna _Mahina LOL!
*song ends beautifully*
Me: . . . *SCREAMS*
Of everything I've heard from this channel. This track has had me gobsmacked. Great cover and truly feel your soul with every word. Thank you and well done /)
This will forever be my favorite version of this song
This was amazing, it sent chills down my spine :D
XD awww I'm so happy that you're all excited! hehe this means a lot to me, thank you :'3
Honey, this isn't a warm-up, this is a jaw dropping performance!!! Well done.
this is just...so...beautiful... Gives me chills with all the perfect harmonies!
This is one of my favorite songs, and your cover is absolutely amazing. I love the little changes you made.
Just... wow! That left me speechless. I found it a great mix of emotion and control and singing style. Really fantastic!
I always smile when I hear your voice. Fantastic work as always, keep it up!
this is 20% cooler than any of the covers I've found of this song
Even though I know this channel is no longer use, and this message will probably go forever unread.

Damn right you're not alone. I'd LOVE to see a finished version. New account and all
That was AMAZING! Beautifully done Feather I have been waiting for this cover and it doesn't disappoint..
i never ever get chills. but this, this gave me chills.
I really like your cover of this song. Bravo!
i agree :D
By far my favorite cover
Awesome Job Sweetheart
Wow it's actually you ;o
Wow. You sing incredibly well in this range, especially considering your other work.
Really loved the extra harmonies, they worked really well but I still feel you stayed true to the original. Great work!
If this makes Luna evil, SHE IS STILL BEST PONY!
Nah derpy is!
JacquelineThePurpleGirl Discord is best pony
Tom is best pony
+Dark Shadow Hes Best Villain.
Oh my! Your voice is just so BEAUTIFUL, Feather! I think playing around/experimenting is important. I will definitely admit I had trouble reaching those notes when I did a cover of this one as well.

Feather covering ponyphonic?
I think part of my brain's pleasure centre just melted.
>w< yay! I'm glad you liked it, and I was hoping that that would come across, a sense of hopelessness that this path had been began and now can't be retraced, that the result is now known but must be pursued regardless.
JEBUS THIS IS FREAKING POWERFUL!! This is so awesome! Keep up the good work!
If this cover is a nuclear explosion of awesomeness, the "an eternal lullaby" part was a grenade somebody threw into the explosion, to add an extra explosion of awesome
YEEEEEAH! I was waiting for you to cover one of phonic's amazing songs! Amazing as always, feather!
I agree! :3 Thank you for listening, I really appreciate you doing so with a view like that, means you pick up on what the person intended, rather than 'comparing' all the time ^w^ It's a breath of fresh air! haha thanks again
one word, AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! your voice is so beautiful.
In my genuine opinion. No one holds a candle compared to this
Why are chumps like Justin Bieber famous and yet not true artists like you?! This was amazing :)
Hellhound382 IKR?!?!
Its just so wrong that true talent never seems to get recognized. Ever...ugh..
Actually, she didn't write the song, ponyphonic did
I know but her voice is awesome
+Hellhound382 yeah it is.
please someone make a 1 hour version of this! plz!! i love it!! plz some1 make a1 hour version of this!! plz!!
Sends a chill down my spine beautifully done
She is real good, I still say you are an amazing singer. You most certainly have a talent!
This was beautiful! And the expression in the second verse was perfect! :D
This is amazing! Definitely my favorite version of this song! :)
Wow just wow. Beautifully done.
:OOO tis the other way around!
I got goosebumps from how amazing this was!! Awesome job! ^-^
Nice!
I really, really wanted to make it completely originally sung. The male ones are still under there but I did a female voice over in my chest voice and then two in my head voice opera/classical-style - so glad you liked them! :DD
This was a very nice cover to one of the most underrated songs in the fandom. I'm still jealous of your voice. It was awesome meeting you at Bronycon and thank you for the vocal advice and hope to be as good as you one day, well maybe not as good as you, but decent at least lol. Can't wait for your next collab or cover! ^_^
Ho daymn. I got dem chillz.
Excellent cover, Feather.
Uh! Thank you! You completely understood and articulated exactly what I was trying to do!
I feel like this song doesn't really need a drastic change...This is definitely one of ponyphonic's "gold" songs--Just like Lullaby for a Princess. That's why, when I did my parody of it, I changed really nothing but the lyrics xox; It's just too good!

Wow, this cover sounds... just amazing!
I can't believe it. Just....... wow
Woah.
That was wonderful. Keep 'em coming, Feather!
Listening to this again literally
One of my favorite pony songs ever, by one of my favorite (if not my favorite) male brony singer, plus my favorite female brony singer? Yesyesyesyesyesyes! I got chills. And I kind of wanted to cry. You are too amazing. T^T What a great way to come back to the brony fandom after a forced brief hiatus!
OH MY GLOB! This is amazing Featha!!! You sound fantastic! Also, love your choice of song x3
yay one of my favorite songs and my favorite artists
We're not worthy. Thank you so much for this.
I'VE WAITED 67 YEARS FOR THIS
This makes me think quite lowly of the cover I was going to submit... your voice... how amazing O.O
my gosh! this is way better feather! i love this!
Awesome cover! I love how much you love signing.
OH MY GAAAWWWWD this is already one of my favorite brony songs there are, and then it had been covered by one of my favorite vocalists there are (Eilemonty) and I freaked out because it was so good.

Love this song
this is ..... no words no words.
this vioce is so lovely
amazing...i dont know how else to describe it
I feel like I'm listening to Broadway GOLD!! Keep this UUUUUP!!!!
Holy good sweet merciful, this is powerful.
Completely agree with the emotional take, the resentment is something underexplored in other versions, but it came out very nicely here
^,^ ooo! I'd love to hear it! thank you!!
OMG that was beautiful! A wonderful rendition, executed masterfully. But what really gets me is the end, it has a ping of sadness to it. Almost as if Celestia is sighing at what her sister has become. Or as if Luna knows deep down that this is wrong. I like to read into music XD

gave me chills! great job!
You took my favorite song... And made it even better...
I've seen this version where it skips out on one part of the song. I think that version would be used for a musical or something.
Mmm, you did well. I loved the part where you over-sung the chant (the really deep singing part)
I'm jealous...
One day soon i might sing this song.
Good work, feather!
wow just wow what a voice perfect!
This is amazing! I plan on making a cover for this version =D
I've listened to this version too many times. One of the reasons this is so great is, in my opinion, a simple one. You sing it in the correct octave!!!

But I knew that going into it, I just wanted to provide a new interpretation on the song, not a drastic one, but I'm very glad that you noticed my efforts! :'3 Thank you!
I've heard almost a dozen covers of this song and yours is By Far my favorite version! You're really talented. :D PS Subscribed to your new channel.
personaly i like PKEmi's version better. no flack to this version though. the fandom is shelling out so many good songs that its getting hard to pick favorites.
Mr.Tinkerer eilemonty's is my fave, but this is incrdible too :D
Anyone listen to this in 2023?
I've been wondering if you were going to a cover of this song. It's amazing!
Definitely, Keep it up!
Hot dayum, This is prob my fave cover of this song :O
Really captured the feel of it
aw yay! Glad you liked it! :'DDD I couldn't think of any cover that had done that, so I decided to put in a three vocal layer over it, trying to 'make it my own' >w
This is honestly better than the original and any other cover.
You actually sound a lot like Luna while singing this!!!! Your so good at singing, I'm jealous! but i still love you! keep on singing awesomely Feather!
Wow, the singing in this song seemed a lot more powerful than your other music. Great job! ^.^
im still hitting that replay button... O.o i love the anger you putted in your voice it really move me
Yay! Ooh. *shivers* Well done!
I only listened to 3 seconds of the vocals and got chills. Sub and Liked.
