I would love a remaster of this song. Still a wonderful song, but over the many years, your skills have become refined. I would love to see those refined skills on these older songs.
The best lesson Twilight ever learned: that no matter what you can do, no matter how much you try to protect it, no matter everything you might have done... sometimes everything you care for just fades away...
Ean Haworth Oh? Do explain. Seeing how this is a fictional ending that never occurred, and that Twilight would likely perish under the given circumstances, hence the title: "One Last Letter", it's ironic that the last lesson she had to report was such. And compared to the other, redemptive lessons she's learned throughout the series, this one remains to be the truest and most defining. That sometimes, as much as you hate to admit it, there was nothing you could have done to save that which you held dearest. At least, that's my view on it.
Yet you can always do something, anything can be fixed. I'm pulling my logic on the fact that Equaestria is a land of magic based off of two factions of magic: harmony and chaos. the show revolves around the "Elements of freindship". the ending you depicted is an ending where Twilight lost all HOPE that anything could be done to fix the problem.
Ean Haworth One might believe that anything can be fixed, but in reality, some things just can't. You can try your best to prevent it, and take steps to delay it, but some things in life are inevitable. In hindsight, one could see things they could have done differently, but by then, it's too late. Often times we like to see and recollect on the positive things around us, but the painful truth is that we can't fix everything. The lesson to be learned here is not that bad things happen, but that you must learn to accept that there was nothing you could have done to stop it.
I know that some things can't have been prevented (true Ex:my friend commited suicide on my birthday.) but when it comes to over throwing a tyrant, push becomes shove and next thing you know your in the middle of a revolution. chances are Discord would be overthrown at some point or another. nothing lasts fo ever 'specially tyrants.
It got a very dark and grim tone, creating a powerful contrast to the show. I think you have done an excellent job presenting this vision of an alternate future, I am very impressed. Thank you both for this awesome piece, I hope to see more collaboration work from you two.
Holy crap! This is amazing! I mean, I would expect a collaboration between two such talented artists to be amazing, but this defies expectations. So fantastic.
Chills. Not many songs give me chills. It's one of the ways I know I've discovered a true gem. This is an absolutely gorgeous piece: haunting, yet aggressive; melancholy, yet driving. I hope you guys collaborate again; I'd love to see what else you can do.
Did anyone else see One last letter and think of Pinkie Pie's last letter to Twilight that never got through from Fallout: Equestria? Or is this just my particular brand of insanity that makes me obsess and see the thing that I am obsessed with everywhere?
Someone said that aviators could be a poet. And I agree after this person analysed the lyrics of two songs of yours. (including this one) And I can't imagine Celestia doing what she did by what you are implying in this song, Aviators. But nevertheless, great work.
I'm not an animator, but I've tried making a GIF once... I don't know how to put audio though If I would do that, the wait would be almost like WarpOut's Lullaby for a Princess animation I might
First Brony song I've ever heard, before that I though it was just fanfics. Thank you for being my gateway into a frankly huge amount of fan content. Never even been on EQD (Won't work on my computer) but between so many awesome songs and vids on youtube, plus fanfictions I'll be kept busy.
Awesome vocals. What's more, it doesn't straddle my break to falsetto like a bunch of other songs do. I've had it on my iPod for a while now, but I just can't get over it.
Just when I thought that I had experienced the bet of our music, I stumbled across this little gem. Your music has exceeded every one of my expectations, SoubdOfTheAviators, and I consider myself honored to have been able to enjoy such incredible music during my short stay in this world.
TheUltimateKitty What Twilight doesn't know it's that Celestia turned more and more of Equestrian economy to produce ice cream. But once every piece of sugar gets turned into ice cream, yet Celestia demands more, her highness' nerve breaks down and she wraths on all the lands, Equestrian or not in search of more ice cream.
Same here, I think I stopped caring after S3 ended. IMHO the show started lacking more and more in the quality department from Season 3 onwards. I loved S1, I liked S2, S3 was watchable, but the rest was just unbearable for me. The longer it went on, the more it looked like an effortless cash grab/toy advertisement to me. Also dissociating from the fandom due to the influx of cringy children in 2012-2014 only made me even less interested in the show. But I'll always keep the fan music in my heart.
@@Dengar97 I watched to season 7 then stopped since I had out grown it, season 8 came out after I stopped watching. I don't remember much about it but my favorite seasons were 1 and 2.
Wow, this was a pretty epic song. I especially like the rock part. I would usually suggest adding a few background vocals at various parts of the song, but I think it sounds nice with one voice alone. Great job!
Mad Raven Studios Yeah I know that but is Twilight sending Celestia her suicide letter because everything went to shit and she doesnt know how to save chaos-ridden Equestria?
+TheUltimateKitty My take on it is that she's got a desperate plan that probably won't work and will likely kill her when she tries it. So in a way a suicide note but she sounds like she has a plan to go down fighting.
you can feel the emotions in this song, the most powerfullest thing in this song is at the last verse "Dear princess the lesson i learned today is that sometimes everything fades away..." Bravo, Bravo. this is a work of art
Who watching all of Tyler's old songs. I am and this one was amazing! This sounds definitely brings a message. I feel bad for Twilight. Her friends are gone, her family is gone, her home is gone, Equestria is gone, forever. 10/10 for this Tyler Shaw! You and Bronyfied did great!
Normally, when something becomes my favourite song, I listen to it over and over again, and get sick of it after a week. This has held the position of my favourite song since its release.
Similar structure? You mean intro, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus? Yeah, cause there are only two songs with that type of structure.
12 years later and I still can't get this song out of my head. Then again, there really isn't any songs that Aviators has that isn't a mind leech. (which is a good thing of course)
I always get teary eyed when ever I read stories, watch animations, or hear songs where something dark has happened in MLP. It is just depressing to see my favorite characters in these situations.
This song made me sad. How can you make a song so heavy and sad at the same time? This isn't like a power ballad (not sure if that's the right phrase), but it still works like one. Very well done.
Damn good thing. What would we do without people picking apart every detail to discover the bigger, more beautiful picture and sub plots? I love you people.
Discord IS a person's name. Discord is the character that came to take over Equestria in the Season 2 two-episode premiere, but ultimately failed. This song is about him actually succeeding.
I was drawing while listening to this and it was the first time I had listened to it and when the part at 2:52 came. I dropped my pencil in sheer shock at the EPICNESS!!

Still listening ALL the time
Same here.

Still one of the golden days classics.

Who's still listening in 2022? Please don't ever delete these videos.
Listening in 2023.
2024 :)
CAN'T... STOP... LISTENING!!!!!!
still can't stop listening
@@SergyJoe and will never stop listening
And still.
I hate how people hate this song just because it has to do with ponies and stuff but this song can be different stories and meanings to you guys.
Exactly! I'm not a brony (never watched MLP), but this song is amazing! The lyrics are just so... deep.
I'm not a brony either but I like this song anyway. It can be interpreted in different ways, maybe you should post your interpretation of it here.
When i was not a brony i loved this song to.
I know it cou be about a knight that is losing a huge war and reporting to the princess about what is happening
It has 29 dislikes. I think you're being over dramatic
It got a very dark and grim tone, creating a powerful contrast to the show. I think you have done an excellent job presenting this vision of an alternate future, I am very impressed. Thank you both for this awesome piece, I hope to see more collaboration work from you two.
jesus, never has a song given me such an emotional reaction. very well done to you sir. you killed it.
Holy crap! This is amazing! I mean, I would expect a collaboration between two such talented artists to be amazing, but this defies expectations. So fantastic.
Aviators music about My Little Pony was emotional and his voice is so talented I still listen to his current works
Chills.
Not many songs give me chills. It's one of the ways I know I've discovered a true gem. This is an absolutely gorgeous piece: haunting, yet aggressive; melancholy, yet driving. I hope you guys collaborate again; I'd love to see what else you can do.
Haunting lyrics with a haunting tune and epicness mixed in. Aviators, you are a true musical genius. And kudos to Bronyfied for the epic guitar.
Still rockin' it in 2019!
Still, my bro. Hi frome Russia ))
played this at a gig for fun and people actually loved the song even if they din't get the lyrics but that made it 20% cooler to play!
Played with a live band? I want a video that would be so awesome. I was thinking of preforming "Rejected" by Tarby at my school's music day.
yeah live band i am the singer for the small band just performed it at school due to the music teacher hearing us play in a teachers room
Happy 10th Anniversary!
Taking a nostalgia trip down my "Fav'd Music" playlist. I think this track was my first intro to Aviators. ❤
Did anyone else see One last letter and think of Pinkie Pie's last letter to Twilight that never got through from Fallout: Equestria? Or is this just my particular brand of insanity that makes me obsess and see the thing that I am obsessed with everywhere?
2024. So many wonderful memories.
This must have been INSANE to make!
This song gets me... right in the feels. Amazing job bro, brings tears of sadness and joy to my eye at the same time.
We need this on Spotify!!!! PLZ
Wow. This takes me back.
It's cool to see how you've improved over the years, Avi. Keep up the great work.
...if equestria had a world war...
Look up Fallout equestria Finbarr Arsenault
Tyler P love it want to get a hard cover copy of it and use it as a bed time story for my little girl.
blunt raps In the case that your not joking, I have to say that's a VERY bad idea.
Do you know how a world war works? It means a good portion of the planet all fight, if it was only equestria it would be a civil war
DicetheCube Hmmm, in fact no, I OBVIOUSLY don't know how a world war works.
It's late 2023 and this song has been stuck in my head all week. Banger as all of your music has been for many years.
Someone said that aviators could be a poet. And I agree after this person analysed the lyrics of two songs of yours. (including this one) And I can't imagine Celestia doing what she did by what you are implying in this song, Aviators. But nevertheless, great work.
2 years later, but you got me curious. What is implied? What did Celestia do?
How has this taken me so long to discover . . .
needs to be animated! someone do it QUICK!
How disappointing...
I'm not an animator, but I've tried making a GIF once... I don't know how to put audio though
If I would do that, the wait would be almost like WarpOut's Lullaby for a Princess animation
I might
+Tamas Kish It is literally impossible to do animation quickly. It's incredibly hard.
Yes, but that doesn't mean that they can't get started now.
+jwilk123 ........ Well....... this is awkward. xDDD
I had no clue you listened to Aviators! :D
First Brony song I've ever heard, before that I though it was just fanfics.
Thank you for being my gateway into a frankly huge amount of fan content. Never even been on EQD (Won't work on my computer) but between so many awesome songs and vids on youtube, plus fanfictions I'll be kept busy.
You know, someone should make a version of this song with a female voice, that way it'd really sound like Twilight.
You can say "Cover" instead of version C: but yes I'd like it
EdBoy1215 i could but i dont have materials to do it with. :c im broke
Aurora the Unicorn she made a cover of this song a long time ago
@@spazmofox856 Guess her channel isn't around anymore because I can't find it.
@@Wildfire86872 maybe it's just called something else? Maybe just search something like "female vocals aviators one last letter."
I love this. It really has the Rise Against feel to it. Although it kinda also reminds me of "Separate Ways" by Journey.
This is a very powerful song; I can feel Twilight's despair and horror in the lyrics. I love it.
This is nothing short of amazing. This is why I love the brony communities and artists.
Awesome vocals. What's more, it doesn't straddle my break to falsetto like a bunch of other songs do. I've had it on my iPod for a while now, but I just can't get over it.
This is an awesome song! I am blown away at how great it is! ;D
Just when I thought that I had experienced the bet of our music, I stumbled across this little gem. Your music has exceeded every one of my expectations, SoubdOfTheAviators, and I consider myself honored to have been able to enjoy such incredible music during my short stay in this world.
Sorry Twi but Celestia's way too busy downing buckets of ice cream to help with the end of the world.
she could be eating cake along with the billions of ice cream buckets.
Or maybe chocolate chip cookies :)
TheUltimateKitty What Twilight doesn't know it's that Celestia turned more and more of Equestrian economy to produce ice cream. But once every piece of sugar gets turned into ice cream, yet Celestia demands more, her highness' nerve breaks down and she wraths on all the lands, Equestrian or not in search of more ice cream.
She's into fruit-topped pancakes now.
Wow.... just wow. This song is incredible. Powerful, emotional, just overall amazing. This is probably my favourite piece of yours.
I stopped watching this show a very very long time ago, but this song is wayyy to good
Same here, I think I stopped caring after S3 ended. IMHO the show started lacking more and more in the quality department from Season 3 onwards. I loved S1, I liked S2, S3 was watchable, but the rest was just unbearable for me. The longer it went on, the more it looked like an effortless cash grab/toy advertisement to me.

SoundOfAviators, you are now my favorite composer ever, and all your music is going on my ipod.
Listening to this, while playing Fallout New Vegas... Surreal.
2:51 I literally got goosebumps.
That was such a well-placed use of voice SFX. Well done, sir, well done.
One Last Letter from a unicorn, huh? Not quite "Letters from Pegasus", but I can still see them being similar.
Wow, this was a pretty epic song. I especially like the rock part. I would usually suggest adding a few background vocals at various parts of the song, but I think it sounds nice with one voice alone. Great job!
Wait wait wait is this 'one last letter' a suicide note?
No, it's Twilight's last letter to Celestia.
Mad Raven Studios Yeah I know that but is Twilight sending Celestia her suicide letter because everything went to shit and she doesnt know how to save chaos-ridden Equestria?
Oh yeah! I understand.
It is possible that it is in-fact a suicide note.
+TheUltimateKitty My take on it is that she's got a desperate plan that probably won't work and will likely kill her when she tries it. So in a way a suicide note but she sounds like she has a plan to go down fighting.
you can feel the emotions in this song, the most powerfullest thing in this song is at the last verse "Dear princess the lesson i learned today is that sometimes everything fades away..." Bravo, Bravo. this is a work of art
I always imagine that Twilight sent this letter to Celestia, and then Celestia knew to send her all the freindship letters she had got off Twilight.
Its been almost a year since I first heard this song, and its still my favorite and why Aviators is my favorite.
The image rotates.
Bit late. Yes, the images slowly moves in all of aviators's songs.
I'm so happy scribble reminded me of this song after all these years.
love it ♥
For one of the advertisements before this video it was a monster high episode and that just made my day
Kinda like a Fallout Equestria vibe if Twilight was making one last letter b4 heading to the vault. Anyone else getting that feeling?
i supose
oh god... this made me cry... i felt goosebumps, and chills running down my spine... truly a magnificent piece of art.
Anyone else prefer this over the VIP?
+Zen Laph I personally do, but that's out of preference for rock&metal music in general
I like this version better than the VIP
I got chills in the first five seconds and they didn't stop till the end. You, Brony, are awesome.
Still good
That "everything just fades away" always brings a tear to my eye, for some reason...
I always picture F/A-18s flying in formation overhead when I listen to this.
I love this song, I've been listening to it over and over. It's just amazing.
Can someone please tell me why I waited so long before clicking on this video?
same here bro
Who watching all of Tyler's old songs. I am and this one was amazing! This sounds definitely brings a message. I feel bad for Twilight. Her friends are gone, her family is gone, her home is gone, Equestria is gone, forever. 10/10 for this Tyler Shaw! You and Bronyfied did great!
Try listening to this at 1.5x speed
it works
Thank you.
your welcome
Wow it's sounds so cool like that :D
i know
Normally, when something becomes my favourite song, I listen to it over and over again, and get sick of it after a week. This has held the position of my favourite song since its release.
1.25x speed sounds AMAZING
damn straight!!!!!!! my profile pic says it all.
Me Gusta:D
xScaryMedia Mother of god... that 1.25X speed... EPIC!
Daynekingleone Right, It's the best!
Damn this still sends shivers down my spine wherever I listened to it
Google+ get out right now
This is my favorite pony song. Amazing work, Aviators.
I may hate My Little Pony but this song is amazing
Why do you hate it?
Im guessing he hates the show cause its not his thing but he could care less about bronies and what we do.
What are your opinions on the lyrics then?
Love that song and the lyrics are beautiful.
we can fix this, don't hate the show problem solved
The one song in this fandom that still tops anything else I listen to.
First, listen to this.
Then, listen to "Crawling" by Linkin Park.
Well isn't that interesting.
I don't know what you're on dude. Those two songs sound nothing alike. Plus, this is better quality. xD
They're structurally similar, with similar aesthetic. If Linkin Pony existed, they'd have made this.
Similar structure? You mean intro, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus? Yeah, cause there are only two songs with that type of structure.
OMG, Guys, I found a third song with that exact Structure. XD
Verse, Chorus, Bridge is a popular structure don't make it be all end all
12 years later and I still can't get this song out of my head. Then again, there really isn't any songs that Aviators has that isn't a mind leech. (which is a good thing of course)
First time Ive heard this, where the heck have I been for a year and a half. Absolutely awesome...
I am currently in tears from this song... that voice... *sob*
Still listening in 2024. My little pony fan music was one of the best things about being in love with this show.
Ok...I'm shivering now. Wonderful job.
Goosebumps...goosebumps everywhere...and I love it.
SWEET CELESTIA, THIS IS INCREDIBLE. You guys rock, in every possible meaning of the word!
I always get teary eyed when ever I read stories, watch animations, or hear songs where something dark has happened in MLP. It is just depressing to see my favorite characters in these situations.
This song made me sad. How can you make a song so heavy and sad at the same time? This isn't like a power ballad (not sure if that's the right phrase), but it still works like one. Very well done.
still so damn good!
This sounds so good. Also the lyrics, really well done
And I would be more than happy to hear how you expect to do this.
Why do u make us tear sheds with your magnificent voice?
I've been inspired to work on a fanfic story for this. Sadness is my specialty(Thanks)
I just absolutely love this song.
Feels good to feel darker emotions every now and then, awesome song hands down
This was amazing. So so so so so so so so so so so so amazing!
This is amazingly well done and dark.
"Dear princess, the lesson I learned today
Is that sometimes everything just fades away..." this made me cry
I shed a tear while listening to this.
This song gives me goosebumps every time
that bass is truly amazing
Damn, its more then a year ago since this was made.
I feel nostalic.
This song is simply amazing. amazing work.
this music should be on the radio for it is badass
Man that gave me chills. What an awesome song!
Damn good thing. What would we do without people picking apart every detail to discover the bigger, more beautiful picture and sub plots? I love you people.
Got chill bumps as soon as I heard the first lyrics.
Discord IS a person's name. Discord is the character that came to take over Equestria in the Season 2 two-episode premiere, but ultimately failed. This song is about him actually succeeding.
