i remember being exhausted at the convention and not wanting to walk up another flight of stairs so i let out a sigh and the guy next to me said "i bet King Sombra built this place". made my day
Lpspawsome well depending on where you live, there's bound to be a large pony convention somewhere, and also, there were still a large number of pegasisters at Bronycon, true, not as many as there were bronies, but there's still a large concentration of them
man i love this song, been listening to it for years. I just started reading the comics and man they really didnt give Sombra his due at all in the show. He's just a 1 dimensional evil pony but in the comics he's alot more complex and very intriguing. He might just be one of the best villains/heros along with discord (who also in the comics is alot more complex) and in the show they just brush him off every time he returns. I guess they just have more of a focus to flush out the characters in the comics because so far Discord and Sombra are amazing characters in them.
Man, listening to this stuff is...weirdly nostalgic, even if I've never heard it before. MLP has really changed, and not all of them are in good ways. Wish they'd have 'friendship' more like empathy and love in the earlier seasons and not the preachy 'Friendship School' thing it is now. Students are great, the concept isn't. sorry, got off track
Yeah... I came here again to listen this song, one of my favorites. And like you said, such a music fills you with nostalgia. By the way, I kinda lost interest on watching ALL MLP episodes since Princess Twilight and the Friendship School became a thing. Nothing bad with that, but I enjoyed the two first seasons more, and part of season three. However, some episodes after season three were kinda okay for me when I decided to give them a little chance. The show's finale was pretty good, I'm not gonna lie. At least fans got lots of interesting characters throughtout the entire show. :)
I actually dislike Season 8 & 9 the most, specifically for this reason. I don't hate it, I just don't like it. Like, I understand where Twilight is coming from, but the way she easily drags her friends into this is a little selfish and too much. They got their own lives and jobs (like Applejack who runs the farm, Rarity with her boutique, Fluttershy with her animals, etc). The extra mile was unnecessary. I did enjoy the extra worldbuilding though.
*was singing along while reading desc* I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't matter* *If you get this reference, you are cool. "ooooh....for fucks sake"
God this song takes me back to the good old days of the fandom, BTW Have You Met This Pony Yet; was in my head all day yesterday XD. Funny thing was that I hadent hear it in over 4 years and yet it was just there in the back of my mind. God knows you can write one hell of a catchy tune hope the future will treat you well :3
LOOOOVED seeing you perform this song at Bronycon last weekend. In my humble opinion you stole the show Friday. ^_^ Anthropology was a thrill to see you perform live, too!
The funny hing about King Sombra is that the more you think about him, the more you understand how smart and powerful he really was. All ahail King Sombra!
GAH Its so hard to be a closet brony when you are trying to sing to this awesome music! I keep telling myself that what is going to make me be open about being a brony is less the show itself but the music this awesome fandom creates! It is so creative and varied and not one song is the same as another, its really awesome! GAHHH Its too dang hard to keep secret! I was playing this song all through school today and i couldnt help but softly sing along to it. VERY nicely done yet again!
I have to agree with SylphStorm that almost /everything/ you make is so catchy and in a good way. I love your voice expressing both child-like wonder and yet also beautiful. I was found myself dumbfounded at how good this is.
sweet, this song is really awesome. I've had a hard time finding good songs related to sombra. most are just pun and joke songs -.- Anyway! this is awesome! and your voice reminds me of Lyra for some reason xD
Entirely agreed with this sentiment. This is incredibly catchy, love the lyrics, love everything about it. Since it came up on Everfree, I've done what I can to prod it at pony-friendly contacts and the like, but this truly deserves more reception. Bravo indeed, and will be watching for more!
This is a really awesome song! (And thank you for thinking I'm cool.) I have to say that I enjoy how the light sound is mixed with such sadness. The words fit so well in every way with such passion lent within the meaning and the additional backdrop of sounds complemented by your own support lyrics. Those notes of, "Oh!" brings out the upbeat, lighter tone, while the, "Celestia don't leave me," returns to the melancholy meaning of the song.
I like the way awkward marina is so modest of her work when it truly is amazing (like me but mine is ACTUALLY bad, and that is why I haven't posted any of my music on RUclips)
It matters not if your music is bad, but that you put heart into it. The personality behind the song makes it great, not the skill. I'm not sure where I heard this, or, it may have been me who said it. Either way. The personality out weighs the skill. (Don't get me wrong skill helps, in my case, I know I suck.)
Chaos i practice all the time, but i don't wanna get advice i wanna do it all by my self so when it's done, and i get more views i can feel a hint of confidence
This song is perfect! I LOVE IT! Its so nice to see that H8s impact on this fandom has made it this far. Btw when did he take his chanel down? But this song still was flaless, perfect. And ofcorse AWSOME!
I only knew Anthropology from you, i never got around to check out other stuff you made, but holy shit, this is amazing! How did I never stumble upon this before?
Personally, I like SylphStorms Metal remix better. It sound substantially darker and like king Sombra was lurking in the shadows of the song or something. I'm also a sucker for metal instrumentals and guitar solos.
was that a Linkin Park reference I heard? 'I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't matter.' I bet somebody already pointed that out but I'm too big an LP nerd not to notice >-< I'm pretty sad like that... just started listening to your stuff today and I'm already a fan cause everything you do is so bloody catchy! ^o^ Keep up the awesome work!
9 old year me listening: "i tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesnt matter" amazing. spectacular. never before done. completely original. 15 year old me, relistening after 6 years: oh snap a linkin park reference. cool.
Wow this is really good.I can't believe that I didn't know about this before. I was in the fandom before this came out and I've been subbed for a while (though probably after this was published).I really like it
This song. I listen to discord and this. Remarkable. keep up the good work. Your songs are like, A MIRACLE! I finally found something.. Catchy! Many others, But I don't get it stuck in my head often. This one, I have it stuck in my head 24/7.
MLP is pretty incredible, just finished season 4( found MLP later than most) and my goodness the finale was something; I was pretty shocked at how incredible the whole thing was
Man, this brings back memmoriesss. Thank you for being one of my favorite songs back when I was.. what, 10? I remember I used to listen to this in the background while playing minecraft on my dad's computer. Old me had good taste, even after all this time.
Scrolling through my liked vids and found this. I loved this during my mlp phase, and still a hit. After my emo phase I heard the Linkin Park in there 😂
I listened to this like five times to remember what the reference was until i gave up and turned on Spotify and there it was In The End by LP I'm an idiot but really marina you are very talented keep it up! :D
Yeah, your lyrics could use a little work, but when I go into my force-myself-to-forget-the-English-language mode, I really like it! Great sound, Awkward, as usual! Keep up the good work!
(continued) The worst nightmare right in front of my eyes / Who knew that it was all a disguise / Somebody tell me this is a dream, / A door to a world I never have seen / Losing [feet on every] stair / I climb on unaware / (Celestia, don't leave me) / Can't help thinking that was real / and not just what I feel / (King Sombra, don't decieve me)
I must have listened to this at least 10 times by now, it so, I hear syths get some hate but I like them, thanks for making this, hope it was fun to do :)

i remember being exhausted at the convention and not wanting to walk up another flight of stairs so i let out a sigh and the guy next to me said "i bet King Sombra built this place". made my day
Wow, that would be a dream come true to go to the convention with everyone surrounding having the same obsession as myself
Lpspawsome omg, its bucking awesome, everyone is exstatic from the high concentration of fun, its only $60, i STRONGLY recommend you go next year
Nicholas Schubert can't, don't live in the U.S.A and wouldn't it bew weird for a pegasister to go and not a bronie?
Lpspawsome well depending on where you live, there's bound to be a large pony convention somewhere, and also, there were still a large number of pegasisters at Bronycon, true, not as many as there were bronies, but there's still a large concentration of them
Nicholas Schubert in sweden? i doubt it.
I would love to see a fanfic like this, that twilight DID actually fail and celestia did cast her out
yes, that would be interesting
Oh no......what have you done.....THE FANFICS ARE HERE AHHHHHHH-
It just doesn't fit her character though
pro trick: you can watch movies on Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Dane Jordan Yea, I have been using Flixzone for since november myself :D
Sombra: the loving king of stairs and the destroyer of your feet.
one word.
nostalgia.
i've definitely left a comment here before, i just don't remember it.
almost 8 years. how time flies.
The OH!'s at the end of the chorus may just be my favorite part of any song in this fandom ever. They're so powerful.
Great job!
man i love this song, been listening to it for years.

Comics no canon sucks

Sounds familiar

I remember when this song spoiled me this arc. I've never been spoil by a song again.

I swear I heard the can can song in there. That, or I drank too much hot sauce again. Honestly both have about the same probability of being true.
So has anyone figured out what drug she mixes with her songs to make them this addictive?
not yet, i'm studying it though.
Lpspawsome It's discovered, Infused with Cocaine. Or is it sugar... Have to check the results... again...
1Notten well i'm addicted to sugar, not cocain so it's probably sugar.
I have no idea-medic
Sass, sugar, and simplicity.
I really love this song, even all these years later.
I’m listening to all my fav mlp fandom songs again after years and awkwardmarina’s will always be my fav
I love your music AkwardMarina! You're not as famous as some brony/pegasister musicians but you're still one of the greats :D
LOOOOVED seeing you perform this song at Bronycon last weekend. In my humble opinion you stole the show Friday. ^_^ Anthropology was a thrill to see you perform live, too!
+AwkwardMarina You are amazing madam. Simply amazing.
+AwkwardMarina nice
+Envirotech Where can I find that? If at all... It sounds like an amazing thing to see.
+Darkoes1 Try here! watch?v=kk1ooW09_rY
Envirotech OMG I LOVE YOU PERSON!
Based on the name, I was expecting a song I knew redone to, "Knock, knock, knockin' on Sombra's Door..." But don't get me wrong, this was great.
That's what i thought also!
Was not dissapointed, though.
Master Riku No.
Void Chaser SAME!!!!! but i like this type of nighmare
My lord, I love you. XD
That is about one of the BEST comments I've ever seen...
You are a very amazing somebody.@-@
Void Chaser
All of you. :I
((Yes, all of you. XD I just purposely made it seem like to only a singular context. XD))
The funny hing about King Sombra is that the more you think about him, the more you understand how smart and powerful he really was. All ahail King Sombra!

I was playing this song all through school today and i couldnt help but softly sing along to it. VERY nicely done yet again!
rewatching mlp right now and boy does this bring back the times! this song is really good
this was my childhood thank you for making it happen
this is now a decade old as of yesterday :O
Cant stop listening to this
Only just found this, like, 7 years late
OMG! I LOVE THIS SONG! I listen to it every day and it never gets old.
I just keep having this image of twilight running through a megaman-esque level. The sing has that kind of feel. I like it :D
I have to agree with SylphStorm that almost /everything/ you make is so catchy and in a good way. I love your voice expressing both child-like wonder and yet also beautiful. I was found myself dumbfounded at how good this is.
ah. the door that shows one their greatest fear, while traping them in their own mind, unless someone is able to snap them out of the trance
ADD THIS ON SPOTIFY PLEASE ITS SO UNDERRATED
Truly awesome stuff - I love the vocal effects you used, not to mention the overall creativity that went behind the premise.
This song sounds so familiar, probably why I like it so much
And Lincoln Park, nice
Haven't heard this in years, still a great song!
sweet, this song is really awesome. I've had a hard time finding good songs related to sombra. most are just pun and joke songs -.-
Anyway! this is awesome! and your voice reminds me of Lyra for some reason xD
"I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't matter" HOW HAVE I ONLY NOW NOTICED THIS???
What's this referencing to? I can't understand.
jasper21 It's a lyric from "In The End" by Linkin Park
That's awesome, I didn't even notice
I used to listen to this a lot in 2017, as well as other mlp fan songs
This song matches lots of creepypasta fanfiction!
I really wish that the song was longer it's so enjoyable the beat the way it sounds it's just so cool
Entirely agreed with this sentiment. This is incredibly catchy, love the lyrics, love everything about it. Since it came up on Everfree, I've done what I can to prod it at pony-friendly contacts and the like, but this truly deserves more reception. Bravo indeed, and will be watching for more!

One of the first songs I heard when I joined this fandom back in 2014. Still going strong in 2018. :)
I got the reference, do I get a Bow tie?
If you understood this reference I love you
+Moon Flare because Bowties are COOL! :D
***** Fezes are also cool:3
I'm swimming in the smoke,
of bridges I have burned ...
you've redecorated!
I don't like it
I like the way awkward marina is so modest of her work when it truly is amazing (like me but mine is ACTUALLY bad, and that is why I haven't posted any of my music on RUclips)

(Don't get me wrong skill helps, in my case, I know I suck.)
Chaos i put all the heart i can possibly put in my music, but they turn out so bad that they're un- postable
Then Practice. Or get advice.
Chaos i practice all the time, but i don't wanna get advice i wanna do it all by my self so when it's done, and i get more views i can feel a hint of confidence
Kenpatchi Ramasama i wanna do it myself, the less help i get, the more confidence i get.
This song is perfect! I LOVE IT!
Its so nice to see that H8s impact on this fandom has made it this far.

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS FOR 10 MINUTES FINALLY FOUND IT
i found it in my youtube mix lol
Seven years...
Really, the more I listen to this, the more I like it. I can't get over how "punchy" the beat feels...
I love it and I keep pressing the darn replay button but it won't break.......
BREAK DARN YOU!
Heh. Four years later, and I'm still listening to this. I wish she'd do a new cover of it.
Personally, I like SylphStorms Metal remix better. It sound substantially darker and like king Sombra was lurking in the shadows of the song or something. I'm also a sucker for metal instrumentals and guitar solos.
My goodness, the DL is dead. We've reached the entropy.
I
was that a Linkin Park reference I heard?
'I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't matter.'
I bet somebody already pointed that out but I'm too big an LP nerd not to notice >-< I'm pretty sad like that...
just started listening to your stuff today and I'm already a fan cause everything you do is so bloody catchy! ^o^ Keep up the awesome work!
Saw this right once i heard the lyric
The song that introduced me to your channel.
one of the best songs i've heard all month!!!!
Easily my #2 favorite song of the year.
Wow it's been a while since I have heard this, love your voice with out autotune :)
Whoo this song made top ten pony songs of June. I'm so adding this to my music playlist
9 old year me listening: "i tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesnt matter" amazing. spectacular. never before done. completely original.
15 year old me, relistening after 6 years: oh snap a linkin park reference. cool.
I like the beat of it. And the vocals add nicely to it.
I can't handle how amazing this is! AAAAAHHHHH
AkwardMarina, you are one of the BEST brony song writers... scratch that... song writers, PERIOD, in the history of ever.
I remember when I first heard this in 2013. I was shocked and honestly, it still wows me to this day.
AwkwardMarina, you're gifted. I believe you have a huge future. Keep on making amazing songs!
This makes soo much sense now that I think of it
H8 Seed-style techno crossed with 80's techno-pop vocals with a Linkin Park reference? Winning all the things.
Wow this is really good.I can't believe that I didn't know about this before. I was in the fandom before this came out and I've been subbed for a while (though probably after this was published).I really like it
Best Mlp fan song! 💞👏🏻
My day is now infinitely better.
New favorite thing right here
This song. I listen to discord and this. Remarkable. keep up the
good work. Your songs are like, A MIRACLE! I finally found something..
Catchy! Many others, But I don't get it stuck in my head often. This one,
I have it stuck in my head 24/7.
Catchy as hell, good work.
I love this songggg, I love MLP >w<
Good job ^^
How do you do that? The optimism?
@@richardmeunster8743 Wdym? Ó-Ó
MLP is pretty incredible, just finished season 4( found MLP later than most) and my goodness the finale was something; I was pretty shocked at how incredible the whole thing was
I felt like I heard this somewhere or is this beat really good.
IM LOVIN THESE SICK BEATZ!
I love this song so much
I can't get enough of this song! So catchy!
Why did she say somebody instead of somepony?
Man, this brings back memmoriesss. Thank you for being one of my favorite songs back when I was.. what, 10? I remember I used to listen to this in the background while playing minecraft on my dad's computer. Old me had good taste, even after all this time.
yay someone is also back here after a few years
you were like me when i was a kid
I hear that song soo often and much, I really LOVE this piece of work, its sooo great O_O (*is still amazed*)
Scrolling through my liked vids and found this. I loved this during my mlp phase, and still a hit. After my emo phase I heard the Linkin Park in there 😂
Love the vocals!
Nice track as usual, Marina. You rock!
I listened to this like five times to remember what the reference was until i gave up and turned on Spotify and there it was In The End by LP I'm an idiot but really marina you are very talented keep it up! :D
Yeah, your lyrics could use a little work, but when I go into my force-myself-to-forget-the-English-language mode, I really like it! Great sound, Awkward, as usual! Keep up the good work!
Love the lyrics! You're up there with some of the big ones.
I can't get enough of this song c:
Dat Linkin Park refrence dough
best song ever
Ahh...A refrence to my favorite band. Major respect. /)
I'm enjoying this song way too much for my own good.
If I don't hum/sing/listen to this for too long, I'll forget the tune and it will drive me crazy for the rest of the day.
(continued)
The worst nightmare right in front of my eyes /
Who knew that it was all a disguise /
Somebody tell me this is a dream, /
A door to a world I never have seen /
Losing [feet on every] stair /
I climb on unaware /
(Celestia, don't leave me) /
Can't help thinking that was real /
and not just what I feel /
(King Sombra, don't decieve me)
Welcome to 2021
I've never heard this song before and I love it
something about this song familiar I just can't put my finger on it
I thought so too.
It sorta reminded me of the Powerpuff Girls theme idk
+Kim Nichols
Gravity falls theme?
I actually like not having lyrics for the first day or so. It makes it a puzzle to understand and open to interpretation.
Added to playlist. :p
I must have listened to this at least 10 times by now, it so, I hear syths get some hate but I like them, thanks for making this, hope it was fun to do :)
this was a decade ago!!!
Oooh, love the way this one sounds. Nicely done! :D
