You have done a great thing by writing this song. Four years ago, I was being bullied badly. Kids were teasing me for the way I acted, and even new kids quickly learned to stay away from me, or else they would be bullied for sympathising with me. As a result of this, I had very few friends. Luckily, no-one knew I was a brony, or that I had ADHD and Aspergers Autism. Nevertheless, I was very depressed, and even started to believe the bullies. I thought "If I am being treated this way, why do I deserve to be in this world?" Two days later, I ate the leaves of a plant on the school grounds. I had heard that plants with white sap, like this one, were poisonous to humans. I ate the leaves in the hope that I could end my life. Fortunately, this particular plant was only dangerous to people who were allergic to latex, so I was safe. I wasn't any happier though, and was thinking up new ways to end it all, when a music video popped up on my RUclips home screen. I watched it, and cried my eyes out. I was so relieved that there were other people like me out there, and that I wasn't alone. Thank you for making this song. If you had not, I wouldn't be here today.
This is the song that eventually pushed me out of depression, without it, I don't think I'd be the person I am today. I'm even going to get a tattoo with the words "great to be different" together with Derpy's eyes. This song literally changed my life for ever, it helped me see that I shouldn't focus on the things that make me think I'm an outcast, I learned to love who I was for my uniqueness and differences. Thank you.
I have been going through a really hard time recently. After I told my family I was bisexual they stopped speaking to me, and because of it I was thinking about ending my life and go somewhere where I know I can be happy. However, one of my friends showed me your channel and I felt, not exactly happy (I think that feeling is gone for good), but I felt hope. I felt like it just might get better. So all I can say is, thank you for lifting my spirits with your music. This song helped me turn my life around. So again, Thank you.
You know what I hate about some people, is that others critisize you on your gender preference. They are numbskulls who need to get over the fact that some people are different. No one is perfect and they shoulod be proud that others express who they are. I know I do, and sometimes I get mocked but I have people who do it in good fun, not to shame me of who I am. Be yourself. Never change, and never give up.
***** Here is something to keep in mind. First,there is always hope, never forget that. Second, never be afraid of talking, it is not good hiding away, I found that out a while ago. I ask that you try to see things in a new light. Hiding from yourself, is something many people do, I did myself. Finally, Something I read: The greatest things in life are not the things we receive, but rather the things we make.
welcome to my world of music thats how i hide my pain after all i shut everyone out with it after listening to this song and watching MLP FiM i got out more made more friends and went back to my own music now im the happiest I've been in years
Dear Forest Rain, the first time I herd this beautiful piece you wrote made me cry. I was always the victim of bullying. I felt like where I lived it wasn't fair. I have had to be different from myself and learn how to not let the words of others get me. I finally snapped when I thought I wasn't "good enough for the in crowd". I wanted to leave didn't care where just leave and not look back. but then I heard this song and I cried. it is great to be different and its wonderful to be exactly who you are.
Being bullied is a hard thing to deal with, I do agree, but what could you expect from people with hearts like ours? People love bullying us for this reason, we care for others. That's not seen a lot now a days.It's always good to let out what you been holding back, all you got to do is find a good friend and hold him/her.
Dear Forest Rain, Thank You. For making this song. You have changed many people lives including mine. This song is the most special song to me in the world. It has made me cry many times for all the right reasons. Its a feeling I can't really explain but it has made me a better person. I know this comment will get lost in the thousands of comments you get but i just wanted to let you know. ^o^
I don't know why I cry it just makes me I mean I can't really relate to this song as I haven't been bullied yet and most people at my school don't or is a brony but I just think of the other people and I read tis comments and I really listen to the song and I crying im trying not to cry while writing this
Dude. I usually don't like acoustic touchy-feely stuff, but this kinda got to me. The message behind it's really touching, I'm a strange person, but hell if I'm not proud of who I am.
I may not have been Bullied But i did Go through 17 Years of Depression and i thought i wasnt ever able to be happy ever again but eventually it faded and sometime after i too Became a Brony Proud to Be One. Dont Let anyone Tell you Who Your suppose to be or what you should or shouldnt be. Thats for you To Decide not anyone else. I may not have Listend to this Song Dureing my Depression but when i came across it It had a very Big Impact on my heart, i couldnt beleave something So Beautyful Could Exist in this World of ours. Its Truely beautyful what kind of Light is In all of you out there. I wanted to Thank You For bringing Such a Beautyful Song into this World. Its filled with Love and Compassion. I can Hear it Even now i still listen to the Song and im not sure howmany times ive listend to this song but i cant stop listening to it its just that Beautyful. ive heard many songs out there But nothing Like this..... There are no words as too how much this song Touches my Heart only that it makes me feel Love from others somthing that has been kinda hard for me to do due to How people treated me in the past. All i wanted to do is to reach out to everyones Heart and Make there Light bigger. so i tried and i wound up Making Friends but i also wound up getting my heart Even more Hurt back then i still had very bad depression and in a game i use to play with alot of my friends i trusted players with my equips. i wanted to give them the benifit of the doubt. i wanted to show that i trusted them to show them love so i did and about 3 - 5 players scammed me of atleast 500 Dollors worth of equipment if not more. it left me Very hurt inside and very Bitter but i eventually over came most of that but some still remained inside of my heart and this song Makes Me See that there are more Good People with Hearts of Gold in this world then i thought there were and i cant tell you how good that makes my heart feel. Thank you So Much. And thank you Derpy for inspireing him. Thank you .... So much And God Bless Everyone (^_^)
I'm sorry but this song made me cry but let me explain why. I believe that we have been made fun of for who we are because sometimes people just hate you for what is on the outside. And I just find that... well? Heartbreaking. And then I look at this song and I notice and told myself "Yeah... it is great to be who I am... and I know I am not alone. Because I have family, and friends who love me." I even have a girlfriend that loves me. So who ever is alone out there, remember this. There is at least one person and I mean ONE PERSON who is there that cares about you. No matter what happens. It may not feel like that but there is. Also, be yourself and follow your heart. Not for what people tell you. :)
Wait. This is like a song from The Lion King. Now I had to watch this great movie again. I never expected a song like that from RUclips. Great work. Really great work.
A song that can shed tears, and has meaning, is true music. A song that can have long term impacts on peoples lives, deserves far more than 75 thousand views.
Well, isn't it great to be different? When everything else in the world seems small, You can look up in the sky tonight, And see yourself in it all. I love this song.
It's a great message. I was watching this whilst on the bus and it almost made me cry cause the message is so very clear and precise. Society is too corrupted.
This song is really beatiful, special.I've passed 3 years of my life being bullied while my parents didn't notice anything, depression caught me and I've even think to suicide cause it was the only way for stop the pain. I don't know exactly how I've been able to pass through all this alone, but I did it and I'm happy to be where I am today^^ songs like this, really, really helped me in those years. You really don't know how much people in situations like that can appreciate a song like this. It really help people.

For me, this song is exactly what the entire show and the fandom boils down to.
This is why I love songs from bronies it gives you this feeling that makes you think its really great to be yourself and that you shouldn't let anybody else tell you how you should look act or sound this son tells you to be yourself do what you love and don't give up on that and you may find somebody like you or some one to be there with you
A long time i had fears saying what i am. To tell others that i am a brony. After hear this great song. After understanding the message behind it. I just said "I am a Brony an I'm proud to be one". Its a great Community with great Projects around. Great to be Different is far one of the Greatest. After that a few day later one of my classmate see me writing on my Phone in a Brony Forum. He just asked "Is that a Unicorn? Are you a Brony?" A little moment i want to say no. But then the Song popped up in my Head. I looked at him and just said "Yes, I am". It was just great just saying this little sentence. Finally throw away the fears. His reaction was confusion in the first place. But now its just normal. I'm a Brony, he isn't. We never talked again about that topic just because we don't need to. So to all Close-Up Bronys out there. Just stand for your Fandom. Just say "Yes I am" There are much more out there who don't care for that than saying "you are Gay". Since today I don't meet a single one who has a Problem with me being a Brony.
This song... This song has just changed my life. I have some depression, so I often feel stupid, useless, and like I don't have a place in this world. That's one of the main reasons why I got into the community and the show. Because I now know that there are people out there who accept me for who I am. I haven't been a part of the community for long, maybe only a few months, but I can safely say that it has changed me for the better. I've completely stopped all my self-pity, and I've become more social. But this song... just sealed the deal. It really is great to be different. Thank you for making this beautiful song. :)
I love this song so much. I nearly cried myself to sleep the other night because my parents don't understand the whole brony thing, and I have a feeling they never will. And my brother, the only person I know who's as passionate about the show as I am, is at boot camp and then will be going to school. Listening to this song helps a lot
Hey Glidergirl10. I feel your pain. Know that you have at least one friend who understands. Let me tell you how I dealt with a similar (if not same) situation. For a long time I seemed to be the only person in my area that likes MLP and it certainly started some investigation when my parents found out (due to older brother being a jerk and telling them along with the fact that he was worried about why even though it wasn't any of his business). Luckily we have this wonderful community and of course the cast and production staff who are full of caring and thoughtful people. Around that time I have stumbled upon the brony documentary along with many other videos and articles that gave excellent backstory and explanations for liking the show. All of which covered it in the right light. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't know how to approach the subject with my parents. So I had them sit down with me (as awkward as it was at the time) and started off with John De Lancie's full interview since he gave an excellent point of view to introduce anyone to the fan base. From there I showed Tara Strong's and Lauren Faust's full interviews and then finally the documentary itself. Luckily they understood the allure to the show even though they don't share my appreciation for the show itself. To sum things up, I was able to convince them that there was nothing wrong with me or out of place. Hopefully, if you haven't tried something similar, you could try using my idea to help your parents understand. Hope this helps and stay strong.
Music hardly ever makes me feel this emotional or cry. This is the most beautiful piece I've ever heard, and I will always love it. Thank you so much for making a song that connects with so many people. We all should embrace our differences, because that's what makes you so special. When you accept yourself, you will find your true purpose. I'm having trouble finding the words to describe just how I feel about this. The only other thing I can think of is this. It's great to be different, and don't ever forget that. Don't let anypony tell you otherwise.
this song is truly amazing, the first time i listened to it i cried for countless hours and i still cry today each time i heard it . I know this song is 3 years old now and probably no one will ever read this comment but i had do type it anyway : Thanks to everyone out there in the brony comunity , you are the most fantastic people i have ever met and than you Forest rain for this amazing song :3
+TheBrony FromQc i have totally the point of view like you this song is beautiful , the brony community is exceptional and forest rain do amazing song like this one or snowdrop.
That... was quite possibly the best song I've ever heard. I don't have words to describe how I'm feeling right now. We need more people in this world that can make music like this... to pull at the heart strings and make us remember we're not alone. We need more people that can see past the surface and see us for who we really are. Thank you... you made my day. I'm happier right now than I've been in more than three weeks since I lost my father. Thank you for this masterpiece. Just... thank you.
Wow. I can't believe I've never left a comment here. I'm going on a bit of a nostalgia trip through old brony content. This was one of the first fan videos I remember my old BFF Anton show me back in 2013. It's such a beautiful video with an amazing and inspiring message. And the fact that it was inspired by a fan who actually left a letter like that just makes it all the better. Thank you, Rebecca Starborne, Forest Rain and Decibelle for creating this beauty :D
These last few months have been the hardest of my life. I've spent them alone and worrying why it is that my life had gotten the way it turned out. I even had thoughts of ending it. I heard this song a few days ago, on my drive to school, and I started crying. When I got home, I decided to start writing again, and I haven't spent a second sad since. I think listening to this was a turning point in my life, and I have to thank you for writing it, because I'm not sure where I'd be if you hadn't.
This heart really.... It really touched my heart. My dear Followers... I know, many of you are not Bronies... But... Give it a try! It speaks the absolute truth.
I am a brony, I have an OC named Sky Blue, and a story about her in the making. I used to feel different for being autistic, not being a brony. But even though I wasn't teased, I always felt left out for having few to no friends, never working on group projects in school, and having noone to explain my ideas to. I, too know how it feels to be different. And it's great.
It was a while ago I found this song, but no matter what, no matter how much time passes, it always chokes me up. This song is beautiful, and the message it brings is beyond praise. I still find it hard to be different, and I change how I act when around most people, but I try to be myself. It's hard to do with the way others are, but all you can do is try. Words will always find a way to break through, you just need to find a way to soften them and take them lighter. Thank you, Forest Rain. Thank you.
This song carries such a simple message, but a powerful one. Many kids at my school (including myself) are criticized and bullied for being different in any way. This song helped me embrace the message more than ever before. Every time I listen to this song, I am reminded of just why my life and everyone else's needs a bright ray of sunshine somewhere in there. This song is my ray of sunshine. I feel I must thank you for that and this beautiful work of art.
I thank you good sir. This is the single greatest piece of music I have ever heard. And I truely mean that. Nothing I've listened to in the past has ever moved me the way this did. You made me smile when you said its great to be who we are, you made me cry when I realised that this song fits exactly what happened to me about 6 years ago, and made me at least feel that someone else understands what I went through at that time. You have made my day, week, month, and year. Thankyou
This is by far not just the best brony made song that i've ever heard, it's also one of my favorite songs of all time, music usually doesn't bring me to tears, but this song succeeds in doing just that every single time I listen to it. Fantastic work guys, keep it up.
I dunno what exactly happened, the first time I listened to this track.. But I had been speaking with my Mate.. And, realizing he understands me better than anything.. Accepts me for being different, loves me for it.. I literally burst into the heaviest tears I've ever experienced.. And the release made me feel so amazing.. I guess that.. What I'm trying to say is.. Thank you.. You made me realize something I hadn't before.. And that made me feel better than I ever had.. Thank you.. So much..
Wow. Just wow. This song brought me to tears. I absolutely love it. It's rare that I find a sincere song about uniqueness and self-acceptance, and even rarer for them to be so beautiful. Thank you. I will be adding this along side the motto I live by: "Be unique, in all that you do," after all, isn't it great to be different?
Forest Rain, your music is always so good. This one is exceptionally beautiful. My favorite saying to people who always said I was weird, strange, or different was always to ask, "Tell me then, what is normal?" They would usually say something like, "I think I'm normal." To I would reply with, "You must be the only normal person on earth. Normal People Worry Me!" Everybody has some quirk that makes them different. I've convinced lots of people that there is no normal. This is what we must learn.
I just started listening to this song yesterday, and so far it has become on of my favorite songs from the Bronydom. I love music that tells a story and reaches into one's heart. And it was so touching and sweet to hear the way you came up with the idea for the song. That truly makes one believe in fate and destiny.
This song makes me want to bake muffins and write notes and just go out to random houses and give them the gifts. Completely anonymously, (aponymously, as it were), this song doesn't make me want fame, it doesn't make me want recognition, it just makes me want to let people know that whoever they are, they deserve kindness, and that they deserve a chance to show kindness. Thankyou for writing this song :')
When you said what was in the letter, I couldn't help but to shed a tear, and this song made me feel great, it really has made my month. *sniff* Thanks.
My word, this song is on my top tier of favorite songs. Whenever a song gives me those butterfly feelings inside that you get before your about to cry, I know then that it deserves much praise. This is fantastic, excellent work.
I've been listening to this song at least everyday for the past month and I still feel like my eyes are tearing up. I've taken a lot of harsh treatment from jerks in school and camp, and to this day the pain still stays as I'm going into college, but through the love and inspiration of my family, friends, and the Bronies I've found a new sense of self respect and peace that I will take with me for years to come. A big shout out and love to all of the Bronies who inspired others worldwide.
I cried too. because we all know what it's like to be different. I even drew a picture for the song. Ever since i heard it I haven't been able to get it out of my head. It's such an amazing song full of meaning and love. I think that the next time i go to a convention, I'll dress up as Derpy and pass out notes with the chorus line. This song always makes my tear up. THANK YOU FOR MAKING SUCH AN AMAZING SONG! I AM PROUD TO BE A PEGASISTER!
this song has changed my life. hearing it brought tears to my eyes. suffering through depression and self harm, it really opened my eyes. i got help, and luckily never got too far. thank you.
It's awesome that that person was delivering those letters. This song. It started and I instantly liked it. I was reading and singing along (as best I could for a first time listen). As soon as I got to the part Derpy sings I shed some manly tears. Not having the greatest day and I've always had some self esteem issues and such. Thanks so much. Made my day look so much better.
This is one of the most emotionally moving pony songs - forget it - just simply one of the best songs I've ever heard... I'm sitting here, just trying to describe how much it stirs my emotions, but I can't, because mere words aren't enough. Forest, I just want to say, I hope you make music for a long time. :)
great song, good meaning and i cant get it out of my head...but thank you you've given me hope that i didnt know i needed until yesterday, and this song filled that spot immediately. so thank you youve done us all in the comments section and yourself a tremendous favor forest, AND to whomever wrote that note, a little kindness goes a long way, and this is just the tip of how far your kindness reached! may we all take a page out of their book and give everyone just a little more love each day.
I just heard your intro to this song on Everfree, and I'm listening to the song itself now. That is such a sweet story. ...This song makes me sad and happy at the same time, that feeling that I simultaneously love and hate. Yes, it is great to be different. It's caused me a lot of loneliness, but I haven't changed. This is me, I've found one person who loved me for it (if only for a short time), I'll do it again.
I am also the odd one in my family. This song helped me feel the warmth of loving myself for who I am once again. The world can be a cruel place, and it is can be hard to see the little joys of life. Sometimes all it takes is a little helping hoof to help see that light. And of course that helping hoof take that the form of something as simple a little note or song. Thank you Forest Rain for sharing this with all of us. /)
For the past couple of days I started listening to songs from the fandom. Every single time I heard a new one I would always find a new favorite. It continues with this one, but man I feel like this is going to be tough to beat. This song makes me just love and appreciate the entire fandom even more. Thank you so much for the song Forest Rain.
this is the most beautiful song i have ever heard in a while, coming from someone who was bullied most of their life this song has touched my heart in places a lot of songs have not come close to. i do not have many friends but the ones i do have stuck by me to no end and all of us are different. thank you for making this song.
Things like this are exactly why I love this community. Not only does it spawn amazing works of art, but those pieces display a message that we all need to embrace a bit more. I cried when Derpy sang. It's just so... amazing. Thank you.
This song made me cry and think about my mother who passed away when I was 2. I had always thought that I had to "fit-in", But hearing thoes words make me think of what my mother would say if she was alive today. Thank you for reminding me to just be myself and be happy.
When ever I hear this song, I never shed any tears, but I feel like I'm going to cry like when I heard "When you come home" by Mark Schultz. However, I don't feel sadness when I hear this song. I think it's like my heart or soul is tearing with joy. I can't explain it very well, but this song is amazing. Thank you Derpy for that simple yet meaningful letter, and thank you Forest Rain for sharing it with all of us. It's songs like this that makes me proud to be a Brony.
I got one of these letters too! Mine said "I made you a muffin, but I ate it. Love, Derpy". It's amazing that you made such a beautiful song from that single inspiring note ^_^
Sometimes I feel like I am not worthy enough to be a brony because of the immense talent that this fandom shows, I wish I was like you guys. Keep up the great work!
I get teased a lot at school but this song... this song made me feel like I wasn't alone and that I can tackle any task. Thank you my friend you have lifted me up from the low to the highest i've ever felt
I-I-I Just want to tell you this: Few things make me cry... That changed half a year ago, but it was still hard as stone... There were few things that made me feel something, and this did, on a massive scale. Tears streamed down my face when the Ditzy / Derpy voice started singing. Great job man, one of the best songs i have ever heard! Directly bounced to my number 1 of all brony songs! Keep being awesome!
I literally dropped everything I was doing to listen to the song right when I heard that last line of you talking. The message is deep and powerful, you hit me right in the feelings. Thank you so much for that.
When I listened to this song... Tears were shed, tears that I didn't even know were possible. I was bullied when I was younger, and ended up locking up my emotions. This, this brought back the emotions I thought I had lost. Thank you, thank you for bringing back the real me, the me that cares for everyone. I owe you a lot.
Beautiful song. I always shed tears when I listen to it. It's easily one of my top favorite brony inspired MLP songs, and you sir, have a great talent for it. Good job, and bravo!
Dude I’m in your exact position...I LOVE this song because this IS my life story since i found this gem of a fandom and this AMAZEING show that pulls people together and be there TRUE selves and not be afraid of being judged and i never could before!
I've got to say I'm emotionally moved by this. The past few weeks have been hard on me, so much drama and trouble with my family. Hearing this song brought tears to my eyes cause it made me want to try and get over my fears and worries. Get over how people thought about me. I realize that it doesn't matter what they think of me, my friends and family know who I am. Who am I to let a bunch of drama whores on the internet bring me down, or my father for that matter...thankyou so much for this song
This is the only song that has made me cry. The emotion and message behind this song are just so powerful they overwhelmed me. Thank you for creating possibly the most inspiring and beautiful thing i have ever heard.
You have no idea of the inspiration and love you have caused. You are just one of the many who make this fandom truly one of a kind. I don't know a single other type of people, group, or fandom that can give so much love. Thank You. We all thank you.
Wow. This is probably near the top for being one of your best songs. When people were saying "Man tears", they weren't kidding. Touching song. Thank you for all the uploads you have done.
Thank you for distributing little cute letters like this at BronyCon. I think they'd make anyone's day. This fandom is something really, really lovely and special! Thank you for inspiring such awesomeness in others. C:
Wow... I haven't cried like that in a while.... This is a beautiful song with an even more beautiful story behind it. Thank you, thank you for being different.
I have no words to describe who this video feels. In the times we live in, sometimes we need to be reminded the being different IS normal. Thanks for the wonderful song.
Great song, great story, great message, and this should teach people that its good to be different no matter what anyone thinks of you. This song brought me to tears. Thank you for making this song
Thank you for continuing to make amazing music Forest Rain! This song is beautiful. I was so glad I got to quick meet you at BronyCon and get your signature. It's neat to see how everyone was affected by the experience in some way. I can't wait for the next BronyCon, and maybe I'll get to give you a hug next time, hehe. Keep being awesome!
Magnificent song and a beautiful message. This kind of work is what makes the Pony community so amazing. What strikes me is that it could fit well into an actual MLP episode. I've been thinking that the Crusaders need to encounter an adult blank flank (or a very late bloomer anyway) and this song seems like it would make an exceptional backstory/summation song for such a character.
i started crying halfway through the first chorus...and couldnt stop crying....this song holds so much truth and beauty...thankyou, Derpy and forestRain, for giving us such beauty
This song man... one of my absolute favorites out of all the fantastic brony music out there. A lot of real meaning and heart went into this and you can tell. Cheers mate, from me and everyone who's a lil bit.... different.
HI! I'm new to the brony community. I've listened to your song in Bronies Radio LA and immediatelly noticed the quality and emotion of your song. Good work, thanks for sharing it with the world, you must be proud!
I thought about singing this in my school's talent show. I love this song so much. Thank you for making such beautiful music and reminding me why I love this fandom. From a new subscriber and fellow Brony. Respect to everyone no matter who you are :)
This song is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Absolutely loved it. And a big hand to Turquoise Splash! You're getting huge man! Well done all of you!
this literately brought a tear to my eye and i dont typically cry but, due to the fact that im teased in school its just really an emotional song for me. its wonderful to listen to when im feeling down.
I don't know how to say this without it sounding a little sappy, so I guess I'll just say it: I think I speak for most of us who watch your channel Forest when I say you're a gem in the community. A shining example of quality music, and I think with this song you just outdid yourself. This is truly a wonderful song.
Thank you. Just thank you. After everything thats gone down between my family and me, I needed just this. After being rediculed and rejected by those who are suppose to care good bad or ugly, I've been able to turn to your music and remember that its always "Great to be different". If we ever meet irl, I owe you a drink for keeping my spirits always soaring through the clouds. -Andy (A.K.A. Aria Spark)
This took all of my feels. All of them. I am seriously crying right now. Not a few tears, I am literally bawling. i feel like I'm gonna die, then go to heaven. I thank you, Forest. No doubt you are the best brony musician out there. I don't think anyone else can make me feel this way. I don't know any other way to thank you.
you know every now and then i start to lose a little faith in this fandom because of people fighting hatting and ragging about stuff people post but then i find stuff like this that just makes me feel so proud to be apart of it

You have done a great thing by writing this song. Four years ago, I was being bullied badly. Kids were teasing me for the way I acted, and even new kids quickly learned to stay away from me, or else they would be bullied for sympathising with me. As a result of this, I had very few friends. Luckily, no-one knew I was a brony, or that I had ADHD and Aspergers Autism. Nevertheless, I was very depressed, and even started to believe the bullies. I thought "If I am being treated this way, why do I deserve to be in this world?"
Two days later, I ate the leaves of a plant on the school grounds. I had heard that plants with white sap, like this one, were poisonous to humans. I ate the leaves in the hope that I could end my life. Fortunately, this particular plant was only dangerous to people who were allergic to latex, so I was safe.
I wasn't any happier though, and was thinking up new ways to end it all, when a music video popped up on my RUclips home screen. I watched it, and cried my eyes out. I was so relieved that there were other people like me out there, and that I wasn't alone.
Thank you for making this song. If you had not, I wouldn't be here today.
This is the song that eventually pushed me out of depression, without it, I don't think I'd be the person I am today. I'm even going to get a tattoo with the words "great to be different" together with Derpy's eyes. This song literally changed my life for ever, it helped me see that I shouldn't focus on the things that make me think I'm an outcast, I learned to love who I was for my uniqueness and differences.
Thank you.
I think everyone was affected by it in someway or another.
This song also helped me a lot by pushing me back into the fandom and out of depression also.. So did those letters, I got one too.
I have been going through a really hard time recently. After I told my family I was bisexual they stopped speaking to me, and because of it I was thinking about ending my life and go somewhere where I know I can be happy. However, one of my friends showed me your channel and I felt, not exactly happy (I think that feeling is gone for good), but I felt hope. I felt like it just might get better. So all I can say is, thank you for lifting my spirits with your music. This song helped me turn my life around. So again, Thank you.
You know what I hate about some people, is that others critisize you on your gender preference. They are numbskulls who need to get over the fact that some people are different. No one is perfect and they shoulod be proud that others express who they are. I know I do, and sometimes I get mocked but I have people who do it in good fun, not to shame me of who I am. Be yourself. Never change, and never give up.
Hey don't let anyone tell you how to live your life, things will always get better :)
***** Here is something to keep in mind. First,there is always hope, never forget that. Second, never be afraid of talking, it is not good hiding away, I found that out a while ago. I ask that you try to see things in a new light. Hiding from yourself, is something many people do, I did myself. Finally, Something I read: The greatest things in life are not the things we receive, but rather the things we make.
welcome to my world of music thats how i hide my pain after all i shut everyone out with it after listening to this song and watching MLP FiM i got out more made more friends and went back to my own music now im the happiest I've been in years
So your a Misanthrope?
Dear Forest Rain, the first time I herd this beautiful piece you wrote made me cry. I was always the victim of bullying. I felt like where I lived it wasn't fair. I have had to be different from myself and learn how to not let the words of others get me. I finally snapped when I thought I wasn't "good enough for the in crowd". I wanted to leave didn't care where just leave and not look back. but then I heard this song and I cried. it is great to be different and its wonderful to be exactly who you are.
Brohoof man /)
Right back at you to. double brohoof
i approve of this message
Being bullied is a hard thing to deal with, I do agree, but what could you expect from people with hearts like ours? People love bullying us for this reason, we care for others. That's not seen a lot now a days.It's always good to let out what you been holding back, all you got to do is find a good friend and hold him/her.
it IS great to be different
Dear Forest Rain, Thank You. For making this song. You have changed many people lives including mine. This song is the most special song to me in the world. It has made me cry many times for all the right reasons. Its a feeling I can't really explain but it has made me a better person. I know this comment will get lost in the thousands of comments you get but i just wanted to let you know. ^o^
Amen Brother /)
whenever I listen to this with my friends I have to hold myself back from crying
I don't know why I cry it just makes me I mean I can't really relate to this song as I haven't been bullied yet and most people at my school don't or is a brony but I just think of the other people and I read tis comments and I really listen to the song and I crying im trying not to cry while writing this
Jellie TV don't care*
Jellie TV and the picture just gets me and not many things make me cry
Jellie TV here comes the tears
Jellie TV the story too
This song has made me shed tears of happiness a few times. It's become one of my favourite songs, now.
Dude. I usually don't like acoustic touchy-feely stuff, but this kinda got to me. The message behind it's really touching, I'm a strange person, but hell if I'm not proud of who I am.
I may not have been Bullied But i did Go through 17 Years of Depression and i thought i wasnt ever able to be happy ever again but eventually it faded and sometime after i too Became a Brony Proud to Be One. Dont Let anyone Tell you Who Your suppose to be or what you should or shouldnt be. Thats for you To Decide not anyone else. I may not have Listend to this Song Dureing my Depression but when i came across it It had a very Big Impact on my heart, i couldnt beleave something So Beautyful Could Exist in this World of ours. Its Truely beautyful what kind of Light is In all of you out there. I wanted to Thank You For bringing Such a Beautyful Song into this World. Its filled with Love and Compassion. I can Hear it Even now i still listen to the Song and im not sure howmany times ive listend to this song but i cant stop listening to it its just that Beautyful. ive heard many songs out there But nothing Like this..... There are no words as too how much this song Touches my Heart only that it makes me feel Love from others somthing that has been kinda hard for me to do due to How people treated me in the past. All i wanted to do is to reach out to everyones Heart and Make there Light bigger. so i tried and i wound up Making Friends but i also wound up getting my heart Even more Hurt back then i still had very bad depression and in a game i use to play with alot of my friends i trusted players with my equips. i wanted to give them the benifit of the doubt. i wanted to show that i trusted them to show them love so i did and about 3 - 5 players scammed me of atleast 500 Dollors worth of equipment if not more. it left me Very hurt inside and very Bitter but i eventually over came most of that but some still remained inside of my heart and this song Makes Me See that there are more Good People with Hearts of Gold in this world then i thought there were and i cant tell you how good that makes my heart feel. Thank you So Much. And thank you Derpy for inspireing him. Thank you .... So much And God Bless Everyone (^_^)
K.P.H, I H@+£ YOU❗😔 >=[ I NEVER WANT TO TALK OR SEE YOU FOR YEARS‼ IM SO MAD @ YOU 😠, DON'T BOTHER TEXTING OR CALLING ME AT ALL• (BYE❕) >: [
Hi kent, its me- linda.w, what time are you comming tomorrow of Friday? Please text me back! :-)
+Linda Williamson What... Huh?
This song has helped me a lot, it is by far my favorite song, because it saved my life, Thank you for this life saving and life changing song.
I'm sorry but this song made me cry but let me explain why. I believe that we have been made fun of for who we are because sometimes people just hate you for what is on the outside. And I just find that... well? Heartbreaking. And then I look at this song and I notice and told myself "Yeah... it is great to be who I am... and I know I am not alone. Because I have family, and friends who love me." I even have a girlfriend that loves me. So who ever is alone out there, remember this. There is at least one person and I mean ONE PERSON who is there that cares about you. No matter what happens. It may not feel like that but there is. Also, be yourself and follow your heart. Not for what people tell you. :)
Wait. This is like a song from The Lion King. Now I had to watch this great movie again. I never expected a song like that from RUclips.
Great work. Really great work.
A song that can shed tears, and has meaning, is true music.
A song that can have long term impacts on peoples lives, deserves far more than 75 thousand views.
amen to that
Well, isn't it great to be different?
When everything else in the world seems small,
You can look up in the sky tonight,
And see yourself in it all.
I love this song.
it has been almost seven years since this video was posted. where has the time gone?
sad news, it looks like MishaDash's document was deleted :/
You have released such a powerful message I wish people would listen to it and think the same way. I agree that it is good to be different.
People like you makes me proud to be a brony and this a nice change for songs I normally listen to
It's a great message. I was watching this whilst on the bus and it almost made me cry cause the message is so very clear and precise.
Society is too corrupted.
This song is really beatiful, special.I've passed 3 years of my life being bullied while my parents didn't notice anything, depression caught me and I've even think to suicide cause it was the only way for stop the pain. I don't know exactly how I've been able to pass through all this alone, but I did it and I'm happy to be where I am today^^ songs like this, really, really helped me in those years. You really don't know how much people in situations like that can appreciate a song like this. It really help people.
For me, this song is exactly what the entire show and the fandom boils down to.
This is why I love songs from bronies it gives you this feeling that makes you think its really great to be yourself and that you shouldn't let anybody else tell you how you should look act or sound this son tells you to be yourself do what you love and don't give up on that and you may find somebody like you or some one to be there with you
A long time i had fears saying what i am. To tell others that i am a brony. After hear this great song. After understanding the message behind it. I just said "I am a Brony an I'm proud to be one". Its a great Community with great Projects around. Great to be Different is far one of the Greatest.
After that a few day later one of my classmate see me writing on my Phone in a Brony Forum. He just asked "Is that a Unicorn? Are you a Brony?" A little moment i want to say no. But then the Song popped up in my Head. I looked at him and just said "Yes, I am". It was just great just saying this little sentence. Finally throw away the fears. His reaction was confusion in the first place. But now its just normal. I'm a Brony, he isn't. We never talked again about that topic just because we don't need to.
So to all Close-Up Bronys out there. Just stand for your Fandom. Just say "Yes I am" There are much more out there who don't care for that than saying "you are Gay". Since today I don't meet a single one who has a Problem with me being a Brony.
2016 and this video still gets to me.
+Mythical Entertainment I know how you feel ... i can't stop crying when i listen to this.
+Mythical Entertainment me too...
This song... This song has just changed my life. I have some depression, so I often feel stupid, useless, and like I don't have a place in this world. That's one of the main reasons why I got into the community and the show. Because I now know that there are people out there who accept me for who I am. I haven't been a part of the community for long, maybe only a few months, but I can safely say that it has changed me for the better. I've completely stopped all my self-pity, and I've become more social. But this song... just sealed the deal. It really is great to be different. Thank you for making this beautiful song. :)
I love this song so much. I nearly cried myself to sleep the other night because my parents don't understand the whole brony thing, and I have a feeling they never will. And my brother, the only person I know who's as passionate about the show as I am, is at boot camp and then will be going to school. Listening to this song helps a lot
Hey Glidergirl10. I feel your pain. Know that you have at least one friend who understands. Let me tell you how I dealt with a similar (if not same) situation.
For a long time I seemed to be the only person in my area that likes MLP and it certainly started some investigation when my parents found out (due to older brother being a jerk and telling them along with the fact that he was worried about why even though it wasn't any of his business). Luckily we have this wonderful community and of course the cast and production staff who are full of caring and thoughtful people. Around that time I have stumbled upon the brony documentary along with many other videos and articles that gave excellent backstory and explanations for liking the show. All of which covered it in the right light. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't know how to approach the subject with my parents.
So I had them sit down with me (as awkward as it was at the time) and started off with John De Lancie's full interview since he gave an excellent point of view to introduce anyone to the fan base. From there I showed Tara Strong's and Lauren Faust's full interviews and then finally the documentary itself. Luckily they understood the allure to the show even though they don't share my appreciation for the show itself.
To sum things up, I was able to convince them that there was nothing wrong with me or out of place. Hopefully, if you haven't tried something similar, you could try using my idea to help your parents understand. Hope this helps and stay strong.
I feel your pain my parents keep saying I got a brain of a six year old just because I'm a brony
Music hardly ever makes me feel this emotional or cry. This is the most beautiful piece I've ever heard, and I will always love it. Thank you so much for making a song that connects with so many people. We all should embrace our differences, because that's what makes you so special. When you accept yourself, you will find your true purpose. I'm having trouble finding the words to describe just how I feel about this. The only other thing I can think of is this. It's great to be different, and don't ever forget that. Don't let anypony tell you otherwise.
this song is truly amazing, the first time i listened to it i cried for countless hours and i still cry today each time i heard it . I know this song is 3 years old now and probably no one will ever read this comment but i had do type it anyway : Thanks to everyone out there in the brony comunity , you are the most fantastic people i have ever met and than you Forest rain for this amazing song :3
+TheBrony FromQc i have totally the point of view like you this song is beautiful , the brony community is exceptional and forest rain do amazing song like this one or snowdrop.
That... was quite possibly the best song I've ever heard. I don't have words to describe how I'm feeling right now. We need more people in this world that can make music like this... to pull at the heart strings and make us remember we're not alone. We need more people that can see past the surface and see us for who we really are. Thank you... you made my day. I'm happier right now than I've been in more than three weeks since I lost my father. Thank you for this masterpiece. Just... thank you.
7:42 that awkward moment when Derpy has better handwriting than you...
It's great to be different.
Wow. I can't believe I've never left a comment here. I'm going on a bit of a nostalgia trip through old brony content.
This was one of the first fan videos I remember my old BFF Anton show me back in 2013. It's such a beautiful video with an amazing and inspiring message. And the fact that it was inspired by a fan who actually left a letter like that just makes it all the better.
Thank you, Rebecca Starborne, Forest Rain and Decibelle for creating this beauty :D
What luck we bronies have, to have you in the herd.
These last few months have been the hardest of my life. I've spent them alone and worrying why it is that my life had gotten the way it turned out. I even had thoughts of ending it.
I heard this song a few days ago, on my drive to school, and I started crying. When I got home, I decided to start writing again, and I haven't spent a second sad since. I think listening to this was a turning point in my life, and I have to thank you for writing it, because I'm not sure where I'd be if you hadn't.
This heart really.... It really touched my heart.
My dear Followers... I know, many of you are not Bronies... But... Give it a try! It speaks the absolute truth.
I am a brony, I have an OC named Sky Blue, and a story about her in the making. I used to feel different for being autistic, not being a brony. But even though I wasn't teased, I always felt left out for having few to no friends, never working on group projects in school, and having noone to explain my ideas to. I, too know how it feels to be different. And it's great.
Budder Guy 42 I'm autistic, too. Asperger's Syndrome.
Nurain Nabilah Nazri So am I!
I love this song and Derpy
SuperAmazingRickSatan972StrikesBack obvious troll os obvious. Also for future of reaction replies successful troll is successful.
*Sigh* It's annoying how much people have to hate... at all. I mean, we already have war, racism, Prejudice... why add to it?
Sean Cushing Rick is a brony too he just trolls new bronies who don't know who he is
It was a while ago I found this song, but no matter what, no matter how much time passes, it always chokes me up. This song is beautiful, and the message it brings is beyond praise. I still find it hard to be different, and I change how I act when around most people, but I try to be myself. It's hard to do with the way others are, but all you can do is try. Words will always find a way to break through, you just need to find a way to soften them and take them lighter. Thank you, Forest Rain. Thank you.
This song carries such a simple message, but a powerful one. Many kids at my school (including myself) are criticized and bullied for being different in any way. This song helped me embrace the message more than ever before. Every time I listen to this song, I am reminded of just why my life and everyone else's needs a bright ray of sunshine somewhere in there. This song is my ray of sunshine. I feel I must thank you for that and this beautiful work of art.
I thank you good sir. This is the single greatest piece of music I have ever heard. And I truely mean that. Nothing I've listened to in the past has ever moved me the way this did. You made me smile when you said its great to be who we are, you made me cry when I realised that this song fits exactly what happened to me about 6 years ago, and made me at least feel that someone else understands what I went through at that time. You have made my day, week, month, and year. Thankyou
This is by far not just the best brony made song that i've ever heard, it's also one of my favorite songs of all time, music usually doesn't bring me to tears, but this song succeeds in doing just that every single time I listen to it.
Fantastic work guys, keep it up.
I dunno what exactly happened, the first time I listened to this track.. But I had been speaking with my Mate.. And, realizing he understands me better than anything.. Accepts me for being different, loves me for it.. I literally burst into the heaviest tears I've ever experienced.. And the release made me feel so amazing.. I guess that.. What I'm trying to say is.. Thank you.. You made me realize something I hadn't before.. And that made me feel better than I ever had.. Thank you.. So much..
Wow. Just wow. This song brought me to tears. I absolutely love it. It's rare that I find a sincere song about uniqueness and self-acceptance, and even rarer for them to be so beautiful. Thank you. I will be adding this along side the motto I live by: "Be unique, in all that you do," after all, isn't it great to be different?
Forest Rain, your music is always so good. This one is exceptionally beautiful. My favorite saying to people who always said I was weird, strange, or different was always to ask, "Tell me then, what is normal?" They would usually say something like, "I think I'm normal." To I would reply with, "You must be the only normal person on earth. Normal People Worry Me!" Everybody has some quirk that makes them different. I've convinced lots of people that there is no normal. This is what we must learn.
I just started listening to this song yesterday, and so far it has become on of my favorite songs from the Bronydom. I love music that tells a story and reaches into one's heart. And it was so touching and sweet to hear the way you came up with the idea for the song. That truly makes one believe in fate and destiny.
This song makes me want to bake muffins and write notes and just go out to random houses and give them the gifts. Completely anonymously, (aponymously, as it were), this song doesn't make me want fame, it doesn't make me want recognition, it just makes me want to let people know that whoever they are, they deserve kindness, and that they deserve a chance to show kindness. Thankyou for writing this song :')
When you said what was in the letter, I couldn't help but to shed a tear, and this song made me feel great, it really has made my month.
*sniff*
Thanks.
My word, this song is on my top tier of favorite songs. Whenever a song gives me those butterfly feelings inside that you get before your about to cry, I know then that it deserves much praise. This is fantastic, excellent work.
I've been listening to this song at least everyday for the past month and I still feel like my eyes are tearing up. I've taken a lot of harsh treatment from jerks in school and camp, and to this day the pain still stays as I'm going into college, but through the love and inspiration of my family, friends, and the Bronies I've found a new sense of self respect and peace that I will take with me for years to come. A big shout out and love to all of the Bronies who inspired others worldwide.
I cried too. because we all know what it's like to be different. I even drew a picture for the song. Ever since i heard it I haven't been able to get it out of my head. It's such an amazing song full of meaning and love. I think that the next time i go to a convention, I'll dress up as Derpy and pass out notes with the chorus line. This song always makes my tear up. THANK YOU FOR MAKING SUCH AN AMAZING SONG!
I AM PROUD TO BE A PEGASISTER!
this song has changed my life. hearing it brought tears to my eyes. suffering through depression and self harm, it really opened my eyes. i got help, and luckily never got too far. thank you.
It's awesome that that person was delivering those letters.
This song. It started and I instantly liked it. I was reading and singing along (as best I could for a first time listen). As soon as I got to the part Derpy sings I shed some manly tears. Not having the greatest day and I've always had some self esteem issues and such.
Thanks so much. Made my day look so much better.
6:05 Those words hit just as hard now as they did back in the day. Maybe even harder.
This is one of the most emotionally moving pony songs - forget it - just simply one of the best songs I've ever heard... I'm sitting here, just trying to describe how much it stirs my emotions, but I can't, because mere words aren't enough.
Forest, I just want to say, I hope you make music for a long time. :)
great song, good meaning and i cant get it out of my head...but thank you you've given me hope that i didnt know i needed until yesterday, and this song filled that spot immediately. so thank you youve done us all in the comments section and yourself a tremendous favor forest, AND to whomever wrote that note, a little kindness goes a long way, and this is just the tip of how far your kindness reached! may we all take a page out of their book and give everyone just a little more love each day.
I just heard your intro to this song on Everfree, and I'm listening to the song itself now. That is such a sweet story.
...This song makes me sad and happy at the same time, that feeling that I simultaneously love and hate.
Yes, it is great to be different. It's caused me a lot of loneliness, but I haven't changed. This is me, I've found one person who loved me for it (if only for a short time), I'll do it again.
I am also the odd one in my family. This song helped me feel the warmth of loving myself for who I am once again. The world can be a cruel place, and it is can be hard to see the little joys of life. Sometimes all it takes is a little helping hoof to help see that light. And of course that helping hoof take that the form of something as simple a little note or song.
Thank you Forest Rain for sharing this with all of us. /)
For the past couple of days I started listening to songs from the fandom. Every single time I heard a new one I would always find a new favorite. It continues with this one, but man I feel like this is going to be tough to beat. This song makes me just love and appreciate the entire fandom even more. Thank you so much for the song Forest Rain.
this is the most beautiful song i have ever heard in a while, coming from someone who was bullied most of their life this song has touched my heart in places a lot of songs have not come close to. i do not have many friends but the ones i do have stuck by me to no end and all of us are different. thank you for making this song.
Things like this are exactly why I love this community. Not only does it spawn amazing works of art, but those pieces display a message that we all need to embrace a bit more. I cried when Derpy sang. It's just so... amazing. Thank you.
This song made me cry and think about my mother who passed away when I was 2. I had always thought that I had to "fit-in", But hearing thoes words make me think of what my mother would say if she was alive today. Thank you for reminding me to just be myself and be happy.
When ever I hear this song, I never shed any tears, but I feel like I'm going to cry like when I heard "When you come home" by Mark Schultz. However, I don't feel sadness when I hear this song. I think it's like my heart or soul is tearing with joy. I can't explain it very well, but this song is amazing.
Thank you Derpy for that simple yet meaningful letter, and thank you Forest Rain for sharing it with all of us. It's songs like this that makes me proud to be a Brony.
I got one of these letters too! Mine said "I made you a muffin, but I ate it. Love, Derpy". It's amazing that you made such a beautiful song from that single inspiring note ^_^
Every single time I hear this song, I cannot stop myself from singing along. It makes me feel so sad and yet joyful. Thank you.
Sometimes I feel like I am not worthy enough to be a brony because of the immense talent that this fandom shows, I wish I was like you guys. Keep up the great work!
This is great it always gives me chills :')
I get teased a lot at school but this song... this song made me feel like I wasn't alone and that I can tackle any task. Thank you my friend you have lifted me up from the low to the highest i've ever felt
I-I-I Just want to tell you this: Few things make me cry... That changed half a year ago, but it was still hard as stone... There were few things that made me feel something, and this did, on a massive scale. Tears streamed down my face when the Ditzy / Derpy voice started singing.
Great job man, one of the best songs i have ever heard! Directly bounced to my number 1 of all brony songs! Keep being awesome!
I literally dropped everything I was doing to listen to the song right when I heard that last line of you talking. The message is deep and powerful, you hit me right in the feelings. Thank you so much for that.
When I listened to this song... Tears were shed, tears that I didn't even know were possible. I was bullied when I was younger, and ended up locking up my emotions. This, this brought back the emotions I thought I had lost. Thank you, thank you for bringing back the real me, the me that cares for everyone. I owe you a lot.
Beautiful song. I always shed tears when I listen to it. It's easily one of my top favorite brony inspired MLP songs, and you sir, have a great talent for it. Good job, and bravo!
Dude I’m in your exact position...I LOVE this song because this IS my life story since i found this gem of a fandom and this AMAZEING show that pulls people together and be there TRUE selves and not be afraid of being judged and i never could before!
dude...this song..its the first time a song has ever brought tears to my eyes...thank you so very much for making this beautiful song
I've got to say I'm emotionally moved by this. The past few weeks have been hard on me, so much drama and trouble with my family. Hearing this song brought tears to my eyes cause it made me want to try and get over my fears and worries. Get over how people thought about me. I realize that it doesn't matter what they think of me, my friends and family know who I am. Who am I to let a bunch of drama whores on the internet bring me down, or my father for that matter...thankyou so much for this song
This is the only song that has made me cry. The emotion and message behind this song are just so powerful they overwhelmed me. Thank you for creating possibly the most inspiring and beautiful thing i have ever heard.
You have no idea of the inspiration and love you have caused. You are just one of the many who make this fandom truly one of a kind. I don't know a single other type of people, group, or fandom that can give so much love. Thank You. We all thank you.
Wow. This is probably near the top for being one of your best songs.
When people were saying "Man tears", they weren't kidding. Touching song.
Thank you for all the uploads you have done.
I was in a crummy mood, but this made me really happy. Thank you, I've always been happy being different but it means a lot to hear others say it
Thank you for distributing little cute letters like this at BronyCon. I think they'd make anyone's day. This fandom is something really, really lovely and special! Thank you for inspiring such awesomeness in others. C:
Goddammit man. You're making me cry with this song. Again.
Wow... I haven't cried like that in a while.... This is a beautiful song with an even more beautiful story behind it. Thank you, thank you for being different.
I usually don't care much for sad or slow songs like this, but this one was completely beautiful. Thanks
I have no words to describe who this video feels. In the times we live in, sometimes we need to be reminded the being different IS normal. Thanks for the wonderful song.
Great song, great story, great message, and this should teach people that its good to be different no matter what anyone thinks of you. This song brought me to tears. Thank you for making this song
wow. i cant stop crying. its really emotionally gripping. thank you for this beautiful work of art and emotion for bronys everywhere.
Thank you for continuing to make amazing music Forest Rain! This song is beautiful. I was so glad I got to quick meet you at BronyCon and get your signature. It's neat to see how everyone was affected by the experience in some way. I can't wait for the next BronyCon, and maybe I'll get to give you a hug next time, hehe. Keep being awesome!
Magnificent song and a beautiful message. This kind of work is what makes the Pony community so amazing.
What strikes me is that it could fit well into an actual MLP episode. I've been thinking that the Crusaders need to encounter an adult blank flank (or a very late bloomer anyway) and this song seems like it would make an exceptional backstory/summation song for such a character.
I need this song so much right now. Thank you so much
i started crying halfway through the first chorus...and couldnt stop crying....this song holds so much truth and beauty...thankyou, Derpy and forestRain, for giving us such beauty
This song man... one of my absolute favorites out of all the fantastic brony music out there. A lot of real meaning and heart went into this and you can tell.
Cheers mate, from me and everyone who's a lil bit.... different.
This is a song that can change the world. The lyrics melted my heart, and it brought tears of joy. Thank you.
HI! I'm new to the brony community. I've listened to your song in Bronies Radio LA and immediatelly noticed the quality and emotion of your song. Good work, thanks for sharing it with the world, you must be proud!
There are no words for just how touching this is. How close to the heart it drives. How much it means.
I thought about singing this in my school's talent show. I love this song so much. Thank you for making such beautiful music and reminding me why I love this fandom.
From a new subscriber and fellow Brony. Respect to everyone no matter who you are :)
This song is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Absolutely loved it. And a big hand to Turquoise Splash! You're getting huge man! Well done all of you!
Thank you so much for making this beautiful song! you inspire me every day to always be myself and to love who I am!
this literately brought a tear to my eye and i dont typically cry but, due to the fact that im teased in school its just really an emotional song for me. its wonderful to listen to when im feeling down.
I don't know how to say this without it sounding a little sappy, so I guess I'll just say it:
I think I speak for most of us who watch your channel Forest when I say you're a gem in the community. A shining example of quality music, and I think with this song you just outdid yourself. This is truly a wonderful song.
Thank you. Just thank you. After everything thats gone down between my family and me, I needed just this. After being rediculed and rejected by those who are suppose to care good bad or ugly, I've been able to turn to your music and remember that its always "Great to be different". If we ever meet irl, I owe you a drink for keeping my spirits always soaring through the clouds. -Andy (A.K.A. Aria Spark)
This took all of my feels. All of them. I am seriously crying right now. Not a few tears, I am literally bawling. i feel like I'm gonna die, then go to heaven. I thank you, Forest. No doubt you are the best brony musician out there. I don't think anyone else can make me feel this way. I don't know any other way to thank you.
you know every now and then i start to lose a little faith in this fandom because of people fighting hatting and ragging about stuff people post but then i find stuff like this that just makes me feel so proud to be apart of it
Whoever put that letter there i thank thee for the inspirational words and for basically helping make this song
