This one's been in the works for a little while and I'm sure some of y'all can guess what style I'm tryna emulate a little here huuhuhu
It's a reflection of something that'd been on my mind for a while; Why is Lightning Dust portrayed as such a bad guy when she's basically RD from earlier seasons lmao, and even though early RD and Lightning were dumb, how come RD was given a chance to grow up while Lightning was just thrown out basically on day one, poor fast horse :C
ANYWAY I hope you like the song UwU

So you've come at last
Thought you left me in the past
Guess it was too much to be ignored
You changed your tune pretty fast
I've just one question to ask
Do you think I'm what you're looking for
Get up and look me in the eye
I wanna see how well you lie
Always act like the righteous one
While I'm always on the run
Loyal until you start racing
While I'm just trying to survive
You're living in overdrive
Nice to have friends in high places
Must be nice to have friends in high places
So you've changed your mind
After the years left behind
Threw me out but now you think we're friends
Save it don't waste your breath
Your preaching bores me to death
We both know how chasing rainbows ends
You were the one that shot me down
Your "loyalty" won't save me now
Pushed myself to the breaking point
To have all my dreams destroyed
I gave it all up now I'm jaded
See you painting the sky rainbow
While I live in monochrome
Wish I had friends in high places
You made sure that I'd fail to see
Every single lie that you fed to me
Now you wanna talk but don't push your luck
I think it's time that you shut the fuck up
Why don't you shut the fuck up
The world thinks you're a light in the dark
Hope it's worth tearing me apart
How many collateral cases
Promised we could get out ahead
I was stabbed in the back instead
Fuck having friends in high places
Fuck having friends in high places
Fuck you and your friends in high places

HAPPY SPOOKY MONTH!!
This was a blast to work on! That choir's something I've wanted to do since Remember Me. Thanks for letting me on board!
I love when these are low key enough I can play these in the car and then drop the bomb shell that it's pony music when people ask who the artist is because they like it c:
*The trickster* 💀
Carpooling.... There's a Brony Among Us...
I am very low key into MLP (I'm a Rarity stan tho) and I don't know half of the fanfic characters that these songs are about. I just like them a lot.
That's the same with Vylet Pony
@@YaelTiferet Not a single fanfic character in this song. Its about Lightning Dust, Rainbow Dash's rival in the Wonderbolts reserves.
Man I love this, Lightning Dust blaming her downfall not on her own faults, but thinking that Rainbow got on unfair advantage. Really feel the bitterness from her point of view
The best part about that is that her resentment is completely justified.
This song is a great expression of people's anger at corruption. You can try and work all you want but if you live in a corrupt system, having friends in high places is what really matters. I also like how during the song it goes from "I wish I had friends in high places" to "F*ck having friends in high places." Doubt this was the meaning behind it but still, cool to think about :)
even in a corrupetd system you can rise up above, cuz soft skills are apparently everything, i've seen it happen
*It's over Lighting Dust, I have the HIGH GROUND!*
You overestimate my power!
....wait.
That Lightning cake tho...
That LD butt in the corner >.>
Song’s legit, didn’t expect anything less from you
Your icon is a actual reaction to this comment
I was looking for a comment like this 😂😂😂
To anyone who says:
“The fandom is dead”
My response to you is: 2:09
Fuck yes, this song is absolute fire i love everything about it, both the vocals and the score are totally badass, as always this piece was truly a joy to listen too PrinceWhateverer thank you so much for this, everyone did a sensational job putting this rockin' masterpiece together major kudos to you all!!!
And as for Lightning Dust, my personal opinion of her is that while i think she was a good rival for Rainbow Dash, i also think that she did deserve some kind of punishment for her actions, maybe being kicked out of the Wonderbolt Academy was a bit extreme and sure LD was basically season 1 RD but even RD wasn't as reckless and irresponsible as Lightning Dust was, i mean after all RD's friends as well as the other Wonderbolt trainees almost got hurt and could've even been killed by that tornado but unlike RD Lightning didn't care about that, and of course LD pretty much committed child endangerment by letting Scootaloo perform in the Washouts show with absolutely no regard for Scootaloo's safety.
Sure that was also partly Scootaloo's own fault since she agreed to be part of the performance in the first place but still...but anyway my point and i do have one. is that Lightning Dust may have been no better than RD was back in S1 and i agree that they could've given her a redemption arc which i would loved to have seen, but i think LD was better off just being RD's rival but those are just my thoughts.
True. Rainbow Dash was reckless and Irresponsible on some level but at least she wasn't as careless as Lightning Dust.
Kinda funny people saw rd as reckless in this. No offense meant.
Ld was lead pony. Rd was forced to follow her orders. And every time something caused trouble or could be a danger to others. She tried to talk Ld to take more concerns for the others. Her resining was the same as saying that she refuse to be part of this reckless behavior if it's allowed
@@adp6632 Actually i was referring to how RD was in season 1. She was reckless back then but at least she wasn't completely careless like LD was.
The big problem I had with "The Washouts" was that Scootaloo was presented with what could have logically been a solid career - one which would make good use of her scooter skills and appeal to her daredevil nature, but not require flight. And then we got the message that that was a BAD thing. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash strongly implied that she was expecting Scootaloo to follow her into the Wonderbolts despite having no excuse to think that that could actually happen (back in "Flight to the Finish", she was the one who helped Scootaloo realize that even if she can't fly, she's still special in other ways).
Redeeming Lightning Dust there could have yielded a nice lesson in finding something worthwhile to do with one's life in spite of a disability.
@@hedonismbot1508 You make a good point, although personally I don't think the message was necessarily about Scootaloo wanting to follow a different path being a bad thing; but more that it can make you vulnerable and others may take advantage of you. I do agree it was a missed opportunity to have Lightning Dust get her redemption. When she saw Scootaloo having doubts a "What am I doing? Am I really going to put a filly through this for a bit of fame?" with a flashback about how she was (for example) being forced by her parents to go into the stuntflyer business and put into dangerous situations.
Finally...a song pertaining to Lightning Dust Lol
Season 9 rewrite: Rainbow gets herself into great peril without initially realizing and her friends are joined up by The Washouts to save her. Thus, Lightning gets a redemption arc
For real though, Lightning is and always will be such an odd case. How come so many antagonists that were arguably worse in what they attempted or achieved i.e. Sunset, Starlight, etc. given chances to become good ponies while green Rainbow Dash was casted off like this?
I-okay, yes. Let's talk about this.
Starlight ran a damn cult, and then nearly fucked over the timeline for petty revenge. You can argue that in the case of fucking over the timeline, she didn't realize that the Mane 6 were the Fated Guardians of Equestria or whatever, but that still could've turned out horribly. Sunset tried to take over Equestria because...reasons. Hell, Discord, the fan-favorite and Fluttershy's future boyfriend, caused Pony Weirdmageddon AT LEAST TWICE.
Lightning Dust, though? Her worst crime is not thinking about the consequences of her actions. Yes, people could have gotten hurt. Yes, her behavior was dumb as hell. But ffs she's not EVIL. How is _she_ beyond redemption?
@@hellspawnstudios She had a chance for redemption in the Washouts. But instead of being a good role model to Scootaloo she had no problem letting her do a stunt that could have killed her. If she didn't learn her lesson after what happened at Wonderbolt Academy; I'm not sure she ever will.
I feel like Lightning like Chrysalis was given a chance at redemption but she rejected it. That her crimes were relatively minor is the reason why she isn't a statue or locked up in Tartarus by now.
Cause if you focus on her too much you will see its another broken moral like maredowell. Since RD was helping the whole time... untill she backstabbed LD to be the only one to become a wonderbolt.
Because most other antagonists were subject to the strategy of "the best way to destroy an enemy is to make them your friend", primarily due to their incredible power/potential. You can't just stick somebody like Starlight in a cell, because that's just going to encourage her to go even farther in causing massive harm- because you can't kill her under your system of morals, and jailing her is a no-sum game that just kicks the can down the road (Sombra, Discord, Nightmare Moon), then the only option left is rehabilitation. LD, though a skilled flier, is ultimately just a pegasus, and doesn't have the power, ability or urge to do massive damage, and thus is low priority. She's drummed out of the Wonderbolts due to both having no connections and being completely unapologetic, and that would be that- though, honestly, questions of child endangerment abound in her second appearance.
Absolutely LOVING this! As a non-brony, I'm glad it exists, if only to inspire such a fucking fantastic song as this! How can you not hit subscribe after that killer opening hook!
I absolutely love how guttural that “I think it’s time that you SHUT THE FUCK UP” was. Felt like some genuine anger their 🤣 love it
One of the unfortunate things about the show ending when it did was that characters like Lightning Dust never got revisited. With time I'm sure she would have gotten her redemption episode like Gilda eventually did.
Goddamn, Lightning is packing an entire bakery in this shot.
Ever since Lightning Dust’s debut, I always thought she got cheated out of being in the WonderBolts by RD, so I’m definitely for this song and it’s message. Nice work Princewhateverer ^w^
Legit every RD centric episode has the moral be that betrayal is loyalty. She betrayed Gilda, Lightning Dust, maredowell betrayed her and all these are portrayed as the 'loyal' thing to do.
@@ArchivedFox That's a good point, I hadn't noticed that til now even after the show had been completed. There were definitely parts where it could have been done better ^w^
@@ArchivedFox hmm how so
@@ArchivedFox A choice made between different loyalties isn't the same thing as betraying a loyalty so long as the highest ranging priority loyalties remain the same. I'm very loyal to my work buddies, but if I get two calls about people in car accidents, and one of them is my work buddy, but the other is a close family member, then I'm going to prioritize the family member. That would not be a betrayal, that would be bad circumstances leading to unpleasant choices.
Yeah it's not like she almost killed RDs friends.... oh wait
I'm very sorry, that I became a brony only in May 2020, because fandom has a very cool history and cool guys!
Thank you very much for new song, Prince!
Same here
Welcome to the herd
@@imdrunkmk427 Although I joined a little late, but I think in G5 a herd will becoming bigger and bigger every day😄
I got here late too. I showed up in '19, wish I'd have made it earlier. But hey, at least Prince still RRRRRRROOOOOOOCCCCCCKKKKKKKSSSSSS
Rock on! /)
Hot damn, this song slaps! I hadn't even considered that Lightning Dust and RD were practically the same, but Lightning was never given the opportunity to rise higher.
YES!! more lightning dust love PLEASE i feel so vindicated lmao
Reminds me of Fly Away by 4everfreebrony and Blackened Blue, painting both RD and LD as so alike, having LD show what might have happened if RD cared less about her friends and more about herself. But I fell like LD was not given enough chances, she messed up but so has RD. She could have been a lot more than just another unredeemed 'villain'.
To me this song is like the other side of that song's ideological coin. (Helped by the fact Princey was also featured on that song)
I swear Prince's singing voice makes me feel like I'm looking at the good things from my past life, this is just astonishing
Princewhateverer's voice has the power to send you into previous incarnations of life? Holy shit
Ayyyy another song from the legendary himself PrinceWhatEverer, awesome job as always!
And with this track Prince has achieved a new notion of the high ground... Guess, Obi-Wan will have to share the place🤣
It still bothers me that they cut out Lightning Dust and how that episode ended, it wasn't supposed to be her being kicked out, as much as demoted and learning being the best at the expense of others isn't the right way to be. She was a lot like Season 1 RD, that need to be the best, even at the expense of others, cocky and brash, because she had the skills to back it up, but how that isn't everything.
Really good song though, really like Lightning Dust
Damn, I can't put into words how much I admire you and your work, Princewhateverer! I adore you! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank youu AAAA
Absolute banger
Also, to be fair, Lightning's situation was way more dire. She almost killed five ponies and saw nothing wrong with it. Things could have been different had she apologized, but she threw away that chance to grow. It makes sense she wouldn't get another, given the gravity of the situation (she should have gone to jail, honestly). She's just early RD with all of her good qualities stripped away.
It's really hard to know whether she didn't know what she did was wrong, or did know and didn't care. Not knowing you endangered others and not caring you endangered others are both very troubling, but one carries more concern than the other.
I mean, before she even got kicked out of the academy, there was a whole conversation where RD told her she messed up, during which she didn't show the tiniest bit of remorse and even defended her actions. That's the issue here.
@@karoufox9135 True, but she never got a chance on-screen to plead her case. That meant we didn't get to see whether it ever sank in what her actions almost caused.
Lightning is the type of pony who can quickly grasp any situation. Judging from that and her dialogue in her conversation with RD, she definitely understood what she did.
Hypothetically, even if didn't sink in until later, she doesn't end up changing her ways at all. She actually gets worse. If we jump ahead to season 8, she just endangers Scootaloo, this time manipulating her into doing something that would probably kill her. Even given almost five full seasons to reflect, she didn't change a bit. She made the wrong choice every chance she got.
In Lightning's defense, RD's friends kinda just wandered into a military training facility unannounced.
nice flank shot
Every song from here is always great. I tend to listen to the new releases on repeat for a few days whenever I need music to listen to and then I go to older releases. Great work as always and I hope that there is more to come. Stay safe and enjoy life.
Hold up, Lightning Dust Song?
*hits like button instantly*
How DARE you be this good! That small sketch shift was such a jab!
Damn this one resonated with me more than I care to admit, easily one of my favorites from you princey-poo q3q
Amiisssuuuuu ;;
Rainbow: “It’s over Lightning, I have the high ground”
This is one of the most badass fan song of any Fandom I've ever heard ❤
2:08 this part is so cool dude
In my opinion, the best song you've ever made. /)
Most of your music is kinda hit or miss with me (not really my preferred genre), but when it hits, it hits _hard._
Another masterpiece! It’s actually quite the coincidence that you’re uploading this now, because I was just watching “The Washouts”, lol. Can’t wait for Elemental! 💜
I just found this due to seeing someone I followed reply to your Twitter post of this. I am so glad I saw this, this is so beautiful and I believe this is what she was thinking.
The art, the singing, everything is beautiful!
Wow this song sure speaks to me. Congrats!
Man you nailed it fpr sure! This sounds totally like MAYDAY if that's what you were going for. All I can say to this is
This gives me "FRIENDSHIP" vibes....I love it!
Thinking about it yes LD was screwed by the show but I think it's actually better for her as a character. I really do like her being a kin to an RD that actually did prove she doesn't need friends, I just wish we had more of that perfect rival dynamic between the mane 6 and other ponys
Absolutely loved this one~! The riffs and the vocals were unf~!
Not to be that guy that compares but damn i get proper coldrain vibes with this man! Sick
Nahh that's 100% the style I was trying to emulate! xD
@@princewhateverer amazing job bro , now do crystal lake lmao
This song was *way* more epic than I thought it would be! 🤘
Ok this is amazing. But at first I was like “explicit? I don’t hear it..”
Around half way through: “Ah. Yeah. I hear it now”
Ah yes is finally out! A song i have been looking forward to listen to and i love it! :D
Incredible song, and I absolutely agree in LD getting treated a bit too harshly, guess it just happens to some ponies. Trixie went through the same thing, but she got some redemption at least, poor LD wasn't quite so lucky. Oh well, anyways, nice job as always!
I think this is the 1st time I've ever heard you curse in a song except for breaking bonds but that doesn't really count because it was a collaboration
He didn't curse without reason, that song had a LOT of emotion behind it. It was a positively amazing song, using harsher language to help get the point across instead of just cussin' cuz ya can. Great job.
@@bradriley9490 He's actually cursed in a few other songs before. "Are You There" and "Away From Me" both come to mind.
I've actually listened to both songs so many times and I never realized
lmfao, I thought it was fluttershy's brother for like 5 minutes
A s s
That was an amazing work! I'm speechless!
Dat plot is thick though
Oohmy . Is this a song about Lightning Dust , Prince ? It's so cool and you just write and sing for new kind of song . Congratulation for being the first writing a song about Dust
Oh hell yeah, was waiting for this month's jam, and i love how this sounds. Lightning Dust having a decent point or two about RD's luck in life, while still not realizing what Rainbow Dash has that she doesn't have in terms of good qualities. There's more to life then making everything a race to the finish after all.
Спасибо!
WHOAA thank you!!! ;w;
1:56!!!!! So badass XD Loving it!
OwO much yes
Fekking love that black and white part. Much edge.
Hell yeah I've been anticipating this one for a while! ^^ It's so cool to see a song that's based on Lightning Dust since she's one of my faves. Amazing work as usual dude!!
How do you keep making amazing song after amazing song? Teach Me Your Ways!!!. But honestly, amazing job. Keep it up AJ.
I believe that the answer to the question from the description will be, yes, she deserved it. For she received a well-deserved punishment for her recklessness and irresponsibility in the episode with the uncontrolled tornado. And the fact that she has not learned anything since the time that the episode with the "washouts" clearly demonstrates, only confirms that she certainly did not deserve forgiveness, or even more so sympathy.
So YoU'vE cOmE aT lAsT!~
!redeem cryaboutit
(if put jokes aside. Focken amazing stuff as always Prince™)
Holy SHIT, this was so GOOD! Especially since that I got so addicted to the game Scoot Hard DX, and Lightning Dust is the main atagonist in it as Maimbow Undash. Its made me see Lightning Dust in a new light and appreciate her for once, since I used to love to hate her even though Rainbow Dash is still my best pony/waifu.
As much as I love RD the most as my waifu, I can see where Lightning Dust is coming from, and I can understand now how she must have felt after my waifu got her kicked out of the Wonderbolts, and stopped her own Wonderbolts, the Washouts. I can only imagine how hurt she must be from everything...
Прекрасно 🦄
Good job PW!
I still remember how wide eyed I was to find out Celestia X Sombra was a real thing and was a tragic love story in the end, would've made a great special/movie to see.
Lightning Dust just made a mistake during Wonderbolts Academy. She let her ambitions go too far. But that's not it. Everyone can make mistakes. The real error she made, was not taking any lessons, but instead seeking revenge.
What I adore in MLP is many characters, many personalities. Someone similar, someone totally different. For comparison, Starlight Glimmer did much worse sins, yet finally, she got her arrogance down. But, as we know, Lightning Dust just finished not much better than Chrysalis. Both of them were making terrible decisions, sins, and both of them refused to admit: "Yes, I made a mistake. I need to calm down". And one of them got stoned.
I feel like another problem is that she nearly got RD’s friends killed. Even if she did repent, the WB might get severe backlash for letting a dangerous pony join, esp since one of the ponies she nearly injured was one of the princesses. Still sucks though, why didn’t Spitfire continue working on Lightning instead of pretty much ditching her when it became clear training her was going to be a bit tougher than usual? #LightningDeservesBetter
@@mycomnithegreat434 I'll check that, but are you here after S8E20?
@@NightmareMoon9964 I’m here before s8 entirely: I’m up to season 5 or 6. Im assuming RD completely forgot the lesson of “it’s bad to endanger people for and/or by stunts”?
Loved it from start to finish! Glad to still be on this crazy ride!
Keep up the great songs and work 😉
I LOVE THIS WTF!! YALL DID AMAZING
Ngl this wouldn’t sound out of place in a racing game. Especially for menu music.
Wow, it's been a while since I see your channel, really nice!
This is just amazing. I think my favorite lyrics of the song are: See you painting the sky rainbow, While I live in monochrome.
You definitely covered over Lightning Dust and Rainbow Dash in a way I was shocked by.
Lightning Dust got punished because she didn't apologize. That's just how things work in Equestria.
Anyway, great track.
Prince being *Eggy* once again!
I AM THE EGGIEST HORS
This is AMAZING! The lyrics, the vocals, the art - I’m obsessed
Nice !!👏
Ayy yoo. I fucking love this song PrinceWhateverer. Even the "Shut The Fuck Up".
2:02 - the interesting thing is that this part didn't hit me the first time. But actually, on the 6th or 7th time my full-sized headphones accidentally were launched from my head into the wall by intensive headbanging
Hey prince!
You make my day a little better. My mood is really down right now and I'm not feeling well mentally right now. The song cheers me up again and I can scream out my frustration with the song. It just feels good and I am as enthusiastic about the song as I am from the others.
Thank you Prince
Looks like a rather private video.
BANGER
Heck yeah and a very cathartic listen for someone who is experiencing oppression downunder. 100% Lucky Knight approved /)
Hope things will get better down there. Here in Sweden our, extremely limited, restrictions where just lifted.

Awesome Lightning Dust song! Great work as always Prince!
More song talked about Wonderbolt Academy . This time it's a battle between Dashie and Dust . It's a awesome vibe with cool background ;)
