Lullaby for a Princess
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 сен 2012
- Just as she promised, Luna stood her ground and refused to lower the moon. Faced with the collapse of the delicate order they had worked so hard to build, Celestia was forced to do the unthinkable. Unable to fully utilize of the elements of harmony by herself, she used a fraction of their power to imprison her sister in the moon, saving the world, but at a terrible cost. The harmonic bond between sun and moon was broken forever; now, the elements lie dormant, awaiting new bearers. In time, the darkness in Luna's heart will begin to wane, but with it, so will the sealing spell that holds her in the moon. In a thousand years, she will escape, weakened but still powerful, and the world can only hope that new ponies will be found who can wield the elements and save Luna from herself.
But Celestia's thoughts turn again to the present. It will be centuries before she can see her sister again, and for that, she blames herself. Surely she had seen the signs? She thinks over and over of the things she might have said and done differently. But despite her own sadness, she also longs to reach out and comfort Luna, and in this mix of bitterness, tenderness, and very distant hope, she looks to the moon and begins to sing.

Well... it's been a while, and in light of the 5 (!) month hiatus, I wanted to make sure the wait was worth it. I've taken a few of the comments on "The Moon Rises" into consideration: this song is quite a bit longer and it features a female vocal! yay
Please welcome the newest member of ponyphonic: Christina!
--------------------------------------------------------
Intro:
Fate has been cruel and order unkind
How can I have sent you away?
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours
The harmony's silent today
But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
And I will your company keep
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep
Verse 1:
Once did a pony who shone like the sun
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
So lovely and so well beloved as I"
So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
That long was the shadow she cast
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
And grew only darker as days and nights passed
Chorus:
Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
Forgive me for being so blind
Verse 2:
Soon did that pony take notice that others
Did not give her sister her due
And neither had she loved her as she deserved
She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew
But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
Takes hold of the mind of its host
And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
The destruction of one who had needed her most
Chorus:
Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
May troubles be far from your mind
And forgive me for being so blind
Instrumental
Bridge:
The years now before us
Fearful and unknown
I never imagined
I'd face them on my own
May these thousand winters
Swiftly pass, I pray
I love you; I miss you
All these miles away
Ending:
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon your bed of moonlight
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there
Sleep...
when the fandom gave a deeper character to ponies than the original creators
For example: Luna and Celestia. Hasbro couldn’t go to deep because it was a kids show, but damn the fandom sure went deep.
@@solarphina Yeah, if it wasn't rated TV-Y, it would be much deeper. And I think our fandom did an amazing job.
@@solarphina "for kids" doesn't mean it suppose to be too simple
bro what do you mean the character and story are literally 1:1 with the show.
@@Kutaloo nope... it ain't 1:1... The show did gave some characters deep emotions but the fandom made it much deeper and sorrowful which really made some tear and cry...
"Luna you're loved so much more than you know, forgive me for being so blind."
I'm not crying, you're crying.
Yes I am.. your point? 🥺🥺😭😭😭
Yes I am 😔💔
all of us are crying
for some reason, i want to associate these lyrics with encanto and its message.
TRUE !! 😭
8 years ago and it's still super good. Ages like wine.
It totally does! I love it!
Ages like the finest wine ever.
9 years O-O
Your definitely right
Yup
“Luna you are loved so much more than you know.” The older you get the more painful this feels.
FACTSSSSSSSS
I love how ambiguous the line, ‘and such is the way of the limelight it sweetly takes hold of the mind of its host’ is. It applies to both Celestia and Luna - Celestia was so absorbed in the limelight, she didn’t realise the pain her sister was in. And Luna was so absorbed and obsessed with the limelight it corrupted her. *chef’s kiss*
@@GetterTheBetter-zs4id have you never seen the show or..
I wouldn't say Luna was obsessed.
Just felt like no one appreciated her Night nor cared about her.
I thought it was 'and such is the WEIGHT of the limelight' so I automatically correlated it to Celestia.
I still tear up. What a beautiful song. The orchestra and the voice, absolutely perfect. Thank you for this wonderful piece in this amazing fandom, even all these years later.
man i catch myself thinking about this song all the time. that’s how u know it’s impactful
This song randomly popped into my head tonight. It’s so great. Probably the best fan made song to come from this show 💜
To this day no fan work tops this.
@@andrewsigler7437 1 year late but this is actually true. No TLT remix can beat this cosmic piece.
So true
My god, people in 2019 still hear this song. Proof of that is me
Im 2019!!
2019.
Same. c:
Hi
Hullo :)
10 Years!? I feel old. But this still hits in the feels.
@GetterTheBetter-zs4id the song not there ages
RIGHT IN THE FEELSSSSSSSS
actually, it's now 12
Almost 3 and a half years later... this is still just as beautiful...
yawul
5 years 2 months and 10 days at the time this comment is posted... AND IT'S STILL AWSOME!
+
6 years later and boom still amazing
Almost 7 years later IS STILL AWESOME
It's 8 years later
Damn- this song still is the best of the best
agreed
9' years
11 years, 30 Avril 2024, still beautiful i can agreed
The emotional power of this song is so strong that I actually cry when I sing it to myself without it even playing.
same ;-;
Me too
I think that the tale of the two sisters should be a musical play, and this would be the feature song.
Already is. Check out Moonrise.
I will write my own and include this song. This is almost like empty chairs at empty tables and makes me cry every time. The lunas reply is even worse
My daughter has Aspergers and a ton of anxiety and this song really helps when she has her panic attacks. She calms down almost instantly. Thank you so much! ❤
Virginia Hall I'm autistic, too. this song made me cry the 1st 50 times I heard it and now it calms me
Thundermoon And Nightmare Moon No, there is a something called Aspergers
Kathryn Gendron Asperger's is no longer classified by itself anymore. Now it's just refereed to simply as "autism"
Yeah....its easier to cope with the panic attacks with things that an Aspie enjoys or music that appeals to them.
Thundermoon Eclipse I have autism as well
I remember when I was eleven years old, I was scared and sad one night and I couldn't sleep. My mom must have searched "My Little Pony Lullaby" and found this, putting it on to help soothe me. It was my introduction to it and despite the song's sad message I was overcome with adoration for the beauty of it and I would listen to it over and over and try to learn it. It very well may have been one of the reasons I stuck to choir through middle and high school. I'm 21 now and I still love singing. My girlfriend once referred to my voice as hauntingly beautiful once and I cannot think of a kinder compliment for it because it reminds me of this song. Even as I write this and listen, I am moved to tears. A decade later and you are still touching hearts. Thank you.
That is the sweetest comment. I'll bet you have a great voice (I'm super proud of Dane for writing this masterpiece and Christina for her vocals).
man... i have the same relationship to this song. i feel the same way i did back then ❤
As an ex-brony, I'd like to say that I am still proud of what the community has created (for the most part, anyway). This stuff is why I like getting into fandoms.
Lol 😆. Ex-Brony you say? Pfft.
Ex-Brony? What stopped you before?
Apple Snow Everything else in the fandom. Plus, I got bored of it.
That's understandable. ^_^
***** you might come back again soon.
it happened to me, i had left because of the dark part of the fandom, but looked back sweetly at all the good. two years and one game of fallout: equestria later and now i'm back, this time for good :)
TW: Depression, Suicide
Now that I'm older, I think I understand this song now. Luna could have been suffering from depression and Nightmare Moon was her suicidal thoughts. "Nightmare Moon" was taking over which is a representation of her depression. Nightmare Moon is depression, depression may cause you to push others away. The 7 Elements of Harmony is what helped her heal from her depression. Celestia starts to realize what is happening to her sister. That's my theory.
Luna was depressed, yes. But Nightmare Moon formed out of her jealousy.
Yeah, unfortunately the one episode that tried (emphasis on tried) to expound on Luna's depression/self harm really fucked it up. Like really badly. Impressively badly. Basically there's this little blotch of Nightmare Moon that Luna keeps around for the sole purpose of giving herself night terrors to stay on the straight and narrow, but its able to dream hop to so many people that it very nearly enters into the waking world as it's own nightmarish entity. How does Twinight and the gang stop this? They basically say "Hey, Luna! Stop being sad, we forgive you!" And Luna stops being sad so the thing basically disintegrates from even existing. Yes really.
The episode in question is called "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep" if anyone's interested.
@@acorneroftheinternet4179 when that first came out i was like “dude what the hell”. The fact that she created something to hurt herself every night because she couldn’t forgive herself. Like damn thats a lot for a kids show.
@@bleachdrinker69 Party Of One should have made it pretty clear this isn't a "kid's show".
"My little pony is for little girls"
Luna:
There's literally no way it's been 8 years.
And there's no way this song is still so incredible after eight years.
But it is.
I really wish more people appreciated celestia, most people think that she just "banished her sister" but they don't understand how much pain and hurt there was to it, and that she never wanted for it to happen, but that the safety of equestria meant she had no choice. Celestia is so important to the show, and if not for her the elements of harmony never would have united, and would have left equestria in ruins. Celestia is the character that makes the show be a show, but just because of look preference or time preference nobody is able to see that...
***** I know, but I'm saying I think celestia deserves more love and credit than she gets.
Honestly, Celestia haters, Celestia banished her sister on the moon cause she (Luna) tought with the darkness in her :there shall be only one princess in Equestria, and that princess shall be me. For me I love Celestia cause she takes care of the ponies in Equestria!
***** well she was banished with powerful magic, and I imagine it acted as a prison, and it wasn't until 1000 years later did the magic weaken enough for the stars to aid in her escape
Veronica Thomas This is how I imagine it too. Plus, Celestia knew it would take about that long and was able to prepare Twilight and Co.
But she told twilight to get the elements that were to defeat me its not my fault im a changling and i have to eat love its just the way i am.
When I was little, I used to play this song on loop in order to go to bed at night. So much so my mom bought it for me. I had entirely forgotten about it until she mentioned she went through all the songs she owned, and had found it all over again.
Thank you for this beautiful piece of music. I am in college now, and while that little girl begging to hear this song just one more time feels eons away, I know she smiles when I listen to it now.
"I love you. I miss you." God I've listened to this song a hundred times and that still always gets me.
this entire song gives me chills cause it's so powerful
me too
Same
Yeah😊
Yeah, me too! (More than that, it brought tears to my eyes!)
Greetings, Sweetie Belle. How is your sister, Rarity?
Just watching the show doesn’t make you see the pain that Luna went through before she became Nightmare Moon. Since it’s a kids show they really can’t go too deep into it. But with the love and passion from the fans, people have gone all out just to showcase what she actually went through and how hard it really was for Celestia and Luna. This song and the animated music video for it is one of the best examples, it does really well with capturing the true emotions the two sisters had, especially with Luna and her finally submitting herself to her overwhelming jealousy and loneliness to eventually becoming Nightmare Moon as well as Celestia’s overwhelming guilt of exiling her little sister to the moon for 1000 years in hopes to reunite and become close with her again.
A decade later, and this song is still and incredible masterpiece. Congrats everyone, we've all grown as people, this song accompanying us. ❤
I can remember back when this only had 1000 or so views. I was like "Why doesn't this have more views?" Come back after seeing it a few more times and a year later. It now has the audience it deserves :)
no, it still doesnt...there are at least 9 million Bronies on the internet (at least, i think there are about 15 milion estimated or so) and this epic song has only little over 1million views...that means there are way to many bronies who havent listened to this song yet, if not via other media (everfree network, etc.).
and I can also tell you that I have listened to this on youtube more than ten times already and i am pretty sure i am not the only one...so, you can come back and tell me it has the audience it deserves when it has beaten Gangnam style or this crappy fox-song
***** i just dont get, why this song isnt known more...I mean, it was featured on EQD and If i remember it right NO. 1 on the top ten list for September 2012. Aso its one of the more often played Songs on Everfree Radio. Where it is also in the top ten.
TheCassiusTain I think that the reason why this video has so few views compared to others is that it's very different than what the rest of the community has experienced. Let's face it, when was the last time you heard a pony song as emotional or beautifully composed as this one? People prefer upbeat and energizing songs instead of sad depressing ones, even though I find this one extremely artistic and could listen to it forever. It's good but it's a metaphorical treasure chest in an ocean of somewhat mediocrity.
Spiderwilliam13 yes, that may be the truth, I can't listen to any every kind of music to any given time. But there are more titles that are well known and listened by many even if they dont fit in the everyday preferences. just take Bohemian Rhapsody as an example.
And I am pretty sure that this song is something liek the Bohemian Rhapsody of brony music. there was a bigger Meetup in hamburg germany this year, the Lunafest, practically a disco with merch and games area...when they played this song, everyone was quiet from one moment to the next...It was such a great experience. Nothing short of a masterpiece can do that.
And still, when i am driving in my car or playing a game i am listening to different kinds of music and I may be bold to say so, but I can imagine the majority of Bronies being similar to me.
So probably the way too few views come from this song being available on other platforms, too. well, maybe I just have a bad/different taste in music as the majority of people.
TheCassiusTain There is a brony meetup in Hamburg and I don't even know about? Arrrghhh...
Im so lucky I grew up with this generation of MLP, so many unique things came out of the fandom including this song!
The singer in this is just SO AMAZING I can't even express it in words! The best way I can describe it is the sound of gently falling snow.... and rainbows... and honey... and angels!
If the world wasnt so anti-brony...many songs will be less about pointless junk and more beautiful like this one.
I would like to differ, most of the celebrities or singers or rappers really wouldn't focus on the brony stuff and more on keep them selves feed and their carrier up, more or less they would probably need someone to introduce them to MLP. anyways my argument is that most songs really focus on the real world and not on MLP, so we most likely wont see Eminem rapping about happiness unless it is a strong point in his life.
well,
Liam Oneill
lol, besides, who said anything about famous singers that already exist?
You knowthere are plenty of Brony musicians out there.
I'm saying that those guys would be more welcomed if the world wasn't so anti brony
***** what?
I don't even care anymore
seems like something that would be in the 2016 pony movie, and which would make it win an award
+Peter Knapp *2017, and not likely.
seems like something that would be
>news that 2017 pony move will have orchestra
Peter Knapp Nothis particular style, daniel ingram doesn't compose in that style, and PonyPhonic will never work on the show.

>PonyPhonic will never work on the show.
DUH
+Peter Knapp where the hell u got that marvelous photo
I play this for my 3 year old grandbaby on repeat if she’s sleeping over. She is a huge MLP FanGirl. My eyes get wet watching her angelic face sleeping while this plays on...... 1000 years of remorse, regret and loss wrapped in a melody so captivating.
I always used to watch this when I was 3. Coincidence, huh? I miss being younger..
1:57 This part is the reason I sometimes go back to this version instead of the animated one. So soft and beautiful.
Happy 10 year anniversary! Still one of the best songs the fandom has ever produced!
This is Canon, was and will always be...
Celestia: Goddess of Power
Twilight: Goddess of Wisdom
Luna: Goddess of Courage
The goddesses who created the Earth, gave it love, wisdom, and courage. To seal off the planet, they forged an ancient relic, the Triforce. Each golden triangle represents the powers of the Goddesses. The top for Power, the left for Wisdom, and the right for Courage.
Cadance: Goddess of Marketing
I like the theory that the four alicorns represent the four kinds of love:
* Twilight Sparkle is philia, or friendship;
* Cadance is eros, or intimate love;
* Luna is storge, or familiar (sisterly) love;
* Celestia is agape, or selfless love.
Hey, canterlot has to make money somehow.
Jack Mahoff LOL very true.
Wait, hold just a darn second... You guys didn't get my reference... Look at my name and then read the first comment again. What do you think it's REALLY about?
*cough, cough* ZELDA *cough, cough*
ok so i know this song is meant to fit with the backstory of lunas banishment but has anyone noticed this could also hint to su!cide in a non mlp case?
*explanation* - celestia apologizes to her sister who she failed she save from herself and only truly saw her fault until she was gone. she then begins to hope her dreams are now sweet and happy, wishing her eternal happiness in her new bed of moonlight. she tells her to sleep, a reassurance that her poor sisters struggle is finally over with. she feels remorse for being so caught up in herself she never noticed lina who needed her to save her from herself, but eventually it was too late. there was no saving her because she was gone.
*lyric analysis*
Fate has been cruel and order unkind
How can I have sent you away?
*how could she have been the cause her sister destroyed herself*
The blame was my own, the punishment, yours
The harmony's silent today
*celestia was at fault not noticing yet luna was the one who suffered*
But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
And I will your company keep
*she sings to the sky where her sister rests, keeping her company*
'Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep
*luna can finally rest now*
Once did a pony who shone like the sun
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
So lovely and so well beloved as I"
So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
*focused on herself and her strengths*
That long was the shadow she cast
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
And grew only darker as days and nights passed
*luna fell deeper into her own misery without the help of her sister, each day getting worse*
Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
Rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
*celestia hopes her lullaby can reach where she now lays up above, wanting her to feel no more misery but just a blissful rest*
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
Forgive me for being so blind
*it was never lunas fault and all this pain she went through was never a reality, she never did anything wrong. celestia hopes her song can be the apology she can no longer give*
Soon did that pony take notice that others
Did not give her sister her due
And neither had she loved her as she deserved
She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew
But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
Takes hold of the mind of its host
And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
The destruction of one who had needed her most
*luna was now beyond saving, too much anguish and darkness took over her. celestia could see it yet did nothing to stop it, thinking it would go away on its own*
Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
Rest now, in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
May troubles be far from your mind
And forgive me for being so blind
The years now before us
Fearful and unknown
I never imagined
I'd face them on my own
*celestia never thought she’d stand without her sister by her side. but luna was now gone*
May these thousand winters
Swiftly pass, I pray
I love you, I miss you
All these miles away
*she wants the time to skip past, not being able to see beauty in them without luna there to watch with her. she’s regretful and mourns luna. because now she’s far from her reach*
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon your bed of moonlight
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
*lunas suffering could end, she would never know that misery she felt in life finally in her bed of light*
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there
*celestia looks to the day she’ll follow her sister to the sky, finally getting to be with her again*
Sleep
Sleep
Sleep
*luna was finally asleep but she would not be waking up again*
i could be overthinking this completely but i just thought it was an interesting thought? do you agree? either way it’s lovely song and excellent job! ✨
Oh my god...that song and your explanation now makes sense... Can you please tell me where can I watch the full thing , movie or episodes..?
@@yukirose5390 I'm pretty sure they could have it on netflix and it MIGHT still be running on tv
i'm not really suree
@@yukirose5390 wdym this was fan made
well now i'm crying thx
It definitely struck me as a pretty clear association with that from the first time I heard it- I related a lot to this song in part because of that, because more than one person in my life was suicidal when I was younger, and I feared every day that one day I would wake up without them and feel like this... Good analysis!
This must be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard...Much respect for you all for making this
+Multex Yeah, it sure is beautiful. It reminds me a little of "For Good' from the "Wicked' soundtrack.
+Perid0tStar *That* is an awesome song. I don't even know how many times I've listened to that soundtrack.
Shut Eye uhe
ponyphonic 123l
C
This is no-shit one of the most emotionally moving songs I have ever heard in five decades of burning oxygen on this benighted planet. It’s a fan song for a cartoon friendship horse and it makes me cry in real life almost every time I hear it.

god why am i still listening to this 11 years later? and why am i getting more emotional than ever i did before?!?
easy answer: i honestly miss these days.
10 years old. holy fuck i feel old
11 years in a few months aswell, its insane.
1:02
Best use of low-octave sounds EVER!!!
Imagine hearing it in IMAX at AMC Deer Valley 17.
it was a gift to have found this song so many years ago. even to this day, i still have tears in my eyes. this fandom has given life to such a beautiful work of art and i'm so thankful.
Ten years later, that song still hits me deeply.
Same...
I'm not a fan of MLP... But... Damn, this is absolutely beautiful! And the story is so sad...
i was beginning to think i was the only one still listening to this
Literally same! I've never watched the show and have no plans to, but I love the story of the two princesses and the fanmade songs about them both!
I really like the “May troubles be far from your mind” part. its really good.
Jesus fucking Christ, that was beautiful. I would say a single manly tear rolled down my cheek, but it was more like 5.
I agree I that is what I'm feeling
um ok????
Ikr! This song gets me Every time
Yep
I think it is his sister who sings the song. The are really talented. Pomyphonics and his sister and his dad
I haven't listened to this in years... And i still knew most of the lyrics by heart. This song really is something.
same dude i remembered this song bc it was playing in a dream i had last night 😭😭
"I love you I miss you" gahhh those feelings!!! QAQ
I remember watching this back when it first came out and only had a couple thousand views. I miss the old days of the fandom. Writers haven't uploaded chapters in years and barely any new content that's as good as it was way back when. Every board I find is just lewd or bad b8. I miss old internet friends and having new episodes to talk about or make fun of. RIP the fandom. Love all you guys. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO LOVE AND TOLERATE.
Happy 10 years to the most gorgeous song this fandom has created
This song is timeless, it’s been 8 years and it’s still so pretty, still so nostalgic. God I love this fandom
i remember first listening to this when i was 8. i came from a horrible family. was treated so badly by my mom. long story short i thought my sister was the reason why my mom hated me, so i hated her for "stealing my mom", i wasnt very nice to her
then i noticed my mom mistreating her and realized how she was hurting too, how she was a victim of this family too, and things hit
and i related to this song 1000%... cried myself to sleep to this almost daily as a coping mechanism for my pain and guilt for not being there for her and only causing her more pain
My sister says this song is annoying. She thinks Ke$ha is better. Tomorrow I will have no sister.
+TheAnimatorOfficial
*ominous music in the background*
+TheAnimatorOfficial How did tumblr find this video
+TheAnimatorOfficial Banish her to the moon :D
I have the elements, Let me bring them to you so you can banish her for 1000 years on the moon
TO DA MOOOON!
It's been 9 years since ,and i still remember this song word for word. I'm crying rn because i fully understand what the words mean to me
I'm not even a my little pony fan anymore, but I love this song.
lol I forgot I commented here goodbye 😭
More than ten years later and I still break down every time.
Though I am a rough and tough farm boy, I still know just how you feel about this :) .

Im so sorry i just had to!
I'm so honored for having such an emotional adventure, this song is my childhood. Thank you. 4/4/21
The nostalgia from this song takes me back when I was watching a gravity falls amv with this song…….
As a high schooler now, this is a vibe when your doing homework
2023 and still nostalgia is there ♥️
This has the most epic fight scene with the most pumped up song for it- how is it possible a freakin lullaby makes me pumped up more than any imagine dragon song?!
Why the hell is it that i am not a brony and this fucking song is amazing
Well you don't need to be a brony to like these songs. I have a several friends who aren't bronies but they have tons of songs made by them. So if you do want to be then cool, if not then I won't judge ya. It is your choice after all.
UniversalChaos931 all true.
hidogsonroblox i think he got converted
Joaquin546 you right you know
Hal Leo i figured
When I was younger and still very much into MLP, I used to associate this song with my best friend at the time and myself. She and I were as close as sisters, and we thought of each other as such. I loved her more than life itself.
When I was eleven, my family and I moved across the country, separating my friend and I. Whilst apart, I used to look up at the moon each night and listen to this, thinking of her all the while, especially the "I love you, I miss you, all these miles away" part. I feel that it's even more fitting because she and I had made Celestia and Luna plushies and exchanged them with one another before I'd moved.
Eventually, my family and I moved back home, and my friend and I were happily reunited. After a few years, though, she and I... sort of drifted apart. I still feel that all the middle school drama is mostly to blame, but y'know, part of me has always wished I'd held onto her a little tighter than I had. Tried a little harder. I'd heard she was going through some tough things, although I never witnessed any of it myself, and she wouldn't confide in me. She was definitely one of those special, once-in-a-lifetime friends, though, and I wish I'd continued to treat her as such instead of drive her away.
It's like the line "Luna, you're loved so much more than you know. Forgive me for being so blind." It doesn't matter that I was going through some things of my own. I should have been there for the girl I thought of as my sister.
I hope she's okay, wherever out there she may be.
Edits because I can't spell.
Oh my gosh this is so beautiful! And WarpOut's animation brings this song up to a different level! Can't believe I just found this.
This is pure, emotional, musical genius. Gets better every year that passes. Amazing vocals, simple but powerful music and tear-inducing lyrics!!!
2024 crying over this amazing song again
The vocals remind me in a way of Nightwish. I really, REALLY love them.
Bro, it’s been so many years. I was 11 when I first heard this song, and now I’m 19 and I still find myself coming back to it. I still remember all the lyrics as well and still sing it every once in a while, though I replace “pony” with “princess” lol.
Such excellence always stands up to the merciless test of time.
German lyrics to the song!
I have absolutely nothing to do with this fandom, but this is the most beautiful song I ever heard! I had my daughter explain to me the backgrounds of the story, because I liked the lyrics so much and desperately wanted to make a German translation that closely reflects the context. So here comes for all those who want to sing the song in German.
Thank you forever, ponyphonic, for this amazing piece of music!
Intro:
Das Schicksal ist grausam, und kalt ist die Welt,
Die Fehler noch niemals verzieh.
Es war deine Strafe, doch mein war die Schuld,
Und schweigsam ist die Harmonie.
Doch in diese Stille bring ich dir mein Lied,
Denn ich will zur Seite dir stehen,
Bis du deine müden Augen dann schließt,
Um endlich zur Ruhe zu gehen.
Verse 1:
Ein strahlendes Pony betrachtete einst
Sein Reich und sprach lächelnd bei sich:
Kein einziges Pony, da bin ich mir sicher,
Wird auf dieser Welt so bejubelt wie ich.
So groß ihre Herrlichkeit, glorreich und prächtig,
Doch in ihrem Schatten versank
Die Schwester, so jung noch - und so sehr geliebt -
Und zorniges Dunkel wich Ehrfurcht und Dank.
Chorus:
Schlaf, Mondprinzessin, lieb Schwesterlein mein,
Ruhe in Mondscheins Geleit.
Erdenwind, trage mein Schlaflied hinaus
Durch Himmel und Wolken und Zeit.
Trage die friedvolle Kühle der Nacht
Und auch meinen Schmerz, Erdenwind.
Luna, du wirst so unendlich geliebt -
Vergib mir, denn ich war so blind.
Verse 2:
Bald sah das Pony, dass andere vergaßen,
Der Schwester die Ehre zu tun.
Auch selbst hatte sie nicht genug sie geliebt,
Und die Schwester war zornig und unglücklich nun.
Doch dies ist des Ruhmes Gesinnung,
So sanft übernimmt er Gemüt und Verstand!
Das törichte Pony tat nichts, um zu enden
Den Fall des Geschöpfs, das am nächsten ihr stand.
Chorus:
Schlaf, Mondprinzessin, lieb Schwesterlein mein,
Ruhe in Mondscheins Geleit.
Erdenwind, trage mein Schlaflied hinaus
Durch Himmel und Wolken und Zeit.
Trage die friedvolle Kühle der Nacht
Und auch meinen Schmerz, Erdenwind.
Luna, du wirst so unendlich geliebt,
Vergiss allen Kummer geschwind,
Und vergib mir, denn ich war so blind.
Instrumental
Bridge:
Die Jahre der Zukunft,
Sorgenvoll und bang...
Allein ein Jahrtausend
Ist grauenvoll und lang.
Denn aus meinem Fehler
Hab ich längst gelernt,
So innig ersehnt bist du -
Und so weit entfernt.
Ending:
Schlafe, mein liebes Schwesterlein,
Schlaf und träume süß im Mondschein.
Vergiss allen Kummer, das wünsch ich mir.
In meinem Traum flieg ich davon und bin bei dir.
Schlaf...
Gosh even after all these years as the oldest of siblings this still brings out the water works putting myself in Celestia’s shoes of having to do that to a younger sibling
this song really shows what celastia felt in 1000 years about luna's banishment
8 years ago I suggested a movie. Little did I know Hasbro had an episode revealing that battle between the sisters. Before that, WarpOut did an animation that even today still bring tears to my eyes.
man, i remember being just. startlingly young the first time i heard this song properly. i absolutely adore it just as much as ever, though. ive long since stepped away from the my little pony fandom and ive long since changed in a lot of ways. something about this song, though, is just so incredible to me. it holds up fantastically even after all this time.
I'm not a My Little Pony fan but stuff like this is simply amazing.
It's what we do
Happy 10th anniversary to this beautiful composition!
i randomly remembered this song just now. i remember singing this to myself in primary school when i was alone or sad, celestia's still a comfort for me even now. its amazing how it's been so long and this song still carries such an impact on people
I have tears streaming down my face. This song breaks my heart with its beauty, sorrow, and poignancy.
Just how "The Moon Rises" gives me goosebumps 7 years later, this song still gives me the urge to find Celestia and give her a big hug. She (and Luna) needs it, but I'm prevented due to my blurry vision. Damnedst thing, always seems to flare up when I listen to this song...
Ten years old as of yesterday, and still hands and hooves down one of the greatest pieces of music in the fandom.
This song is 11 years old,,, I feel so old.
Happy 10 years to Lullaby For a Princess!!!
this was my childhood, it's 2024, I'm an adult now and I still cry listening to this
This song is so beautiful. Your voice, her voice... I just, I cannot express the profound sadness and raw emotion it conveys. The depth of her feeling, fictional though it may be, touches my heart. I've heard the song so many times, but the emotion remains pure and untainted. Thank you, for this gift that you have given to us all.
I still can't help but cry at the "I love you I miss you" part. :,(
I cried too, it reminded me of my friend who quitted this website called RBLX named WHALESROCK12 I think and she died of cancer ;(
Im coming back almost 10 years later. Used to love my little pony as a kid, and this song would soothe my anxiety so thank you
Don't you just love it when fans make you see things that happened on the show in a whole different level and it's just simply amazing
Best song of the fandom. I'm serious the pure quality and beauty make this one of the best songs I've ever listened to.
Seriously this could be on Broadway easily.
ikr, i cry every time
Listened to this while reading one of the Dreamwarden comics... I got all teary eyed. :')
This reminds me of my dad R.I.P
TILL YOUR TIRED EYES AND MY LULLABY'S I'VE CARRIED YOU SOFTY TO SLEEP........
MAY THESE THOUSAND WINTERS SWIFTLY PASS I PRAY.....
I LOVE YOU, I MISS YOU, ALL THESE MILES AWAY.
AND WHEN I DREAM I'LL FLY AWAY AND MEET YOU THERE
SLEEP... SLEEP... SLEEP......
*SAFE UPON ON YOUR BED OF MOONLIGHT!*
Valentine's Day, 2021 as of writing this. This song, and the show that inspired it, are so amazing. Words will never be able to describe the memories and the love that this show brought to my life. I met so many friends and even my significant other so long ago because of it, and I still have them all to this day. I hope everyone who listens, fandom or otherwise, has a beautiful day. Everybody deserves to smile :) Happy Valentine's Day!
1:01
That sound gets me every time. I can feel it in my chest, as if the world has suddenly gone into slow motion, holding it's breath for _something_...
I play this song every night before sleeping because crying makes me incredibly tired.
(And of course because it's a beautiful song. The best fanmade song since the moon rises.)
WE NEED THIS ON GOOGLE PLAY AND ITUNES
Zoe14smiles It has been submitted to itunes recently and should be up there pretty soon.
D - Larson I hope so, because this song is to beautiful to be left in the wind.
D - Larson ty!
PLEAAAAAAASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
D - Larson I bought the original from bandcamp over two years ago. Money well spent if you ask me. I'm looking forward to the remastered version becoming available, I'll pay for it again. Love the added viola and noticed some harpsichord that wasn't there before. My sincere thanks to everyone involved in putting this song out there.
I was introduced to this song by a friend two nights ago (coming back from prom, she got sleepy and slept in the car). I can see why she likes it. I was on the verge of tears when I heard this for the first time!
On top of that, she was tired after a school field trip. We were on a 2008 Blue Bird All American FE Diesel school bus (bus 2) when she played this.
I first heard this song 8 years ago when I was a high school senior... and to this day, it has never lost the impact that it had the first time I heard it. Now excuse me while I go weep manly tears.
Thats amazing
I just wanted to let you know, I have never been a My Little Pony fan. I never watched the show, never got into the series. However, to this day, this song remains in my “favorite songs of all time” playlist, it’s that good. The storytelling, the vocals, the backing track, all of it impeccable. When I babysit my little cousins, this is the lullaby I sing to them, and I plan to do the same when I have kids of my own someday. Thank you so much for bringing this music into the world, truly beautiful.
this is actually the most beautiful song i’ve ever heard. the music, the singing, the melody. i love how much work and attention was put into the music. beautiful
Really nice and thoughtful comment!
It's been 11 years. It's still so good!.
This song is legitimately so good. I regret that couldn't appreciate its musicality until now.
