I'm pleased to present my contribution to the latest Ponies@Dawn album. I really liked how this song came together and I think it reflects the title of the album fairly well. For the first time I also tried making an actual moving animation in After Effects, nothing too amazing but better than a still image (or blackness like how some of my older songs ended up :p ). The P@D assets proved useful on that front. More to come!
LYRICS:
I don't feel silent any more
I know where I'm supposed to be
crushed my enemies long ago
the last one left to go was me
but you were cold enough to burn
I kept my feelings out of view
you held my head against the flame
and made me give my crown to you
lead of spirit but lucky all the same
sweet taste of empires crumbling in the gloom
napkin men with metal hearts surround us
drawing nearer, bodies fill the room
ah, talking heads parade their faces every day
showing us the way to think and feel
helping us to understand the rich man's point of view
they said it on the news and now it's real

This song really is gold. I mean, its so eerie , sweet, sad, and toutching, while avoiding being cheesy. This really stands out from any brony music I've heard, as well as most of Replacers own music, through its unique atmosphere. Each note, tone and instrument feels chosen, careful, and, from a recording standpoint, it is extremely crisp.
This song hits very differently now with all that's going on in the world.
This song is fucking godlike. So high quality. You are amazing.
+henx125 thanks! the whole album is great too, now I've had a chance to hear it
one of my all time top dopamine trigger songs
Thanks for taking part again, this track really did turn out beautifully. Will never get sick of your vocals
Everytime, Replacer. This is beautiful
Best song on the album
The melody and composition of this is genius!! And that deep, pulsing synth is awesome and really compliments those incredible vocals!!
This song loops so well if you set the loop point right at the end of the actual music. It's incredible.
You were one of the first mlp musicians I started listening to way back in 2012 when I got into the show. It is excellent to see you still making music.
The way the fainter pluck track repeatedly leads into the louder at ~2:09 is fucking with my head, but in a good way.
you know, now that i've had a lot more time to reflect on this song, one of the things i really dig is the long instrumental breaks before, between, and after both verses. it really helps the pacing of the song, and i think it creates this lovely forlorn atmosphere that gives you a chance to really soak in & decipher the lyrics, even if there may not actually be an explicit message being sent. it fits so well with the theme, and really makes it memorable & enjoyable to listen to.
also i guess that means this is now about 6-7 months later and i still can't stop listening to it. every time it comes up, be it a youtube recommendation or on my phone's local playlist on long drives between jobs, i always listen to it once, and usually loop it a bunch because it just feels so nice to listen to.
I FINALLY FOUND IT! I listened to this a few years ago, but I forgot it and when I tried to find it, I FORGOT YOUR NAME! I finally came to my senses and searched some of the lyrics On GOOGLE and not RUclips. AHAHA!
Anyway, LOVE THE SONG!!!! 💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤
Jesus, why are you making so good music? You made me almost cry whenever i hear it. God bless you Replacer!
Wow, the harmonies are so unique when compared to the instrumental! Like, you took a normally bluesy melody and harmony and put it a very electric instrument. At first I didn't think it would be so good, but of course, you /are/ replacer, after all. You have a true gift for composition. I look forward to your future content!
**speechlessness intensifies**
*No words-ness*
Get it? One of his previous pieces is titled "No words."
That's so bad...
Replacer's song in the album stands out and is my favorite. There's a few really good ones in there.
Thank goodness you released another song, you're music is Incredible!
The music is great, but I'm *really* impressed by the visuals on this one. That hyperjump effect in the beginning is killer. Love it!
+James Harris thanks, I did it in after effects...first time using it actually. I quite dig this whole visualisation thing now, wish I'd been doing it this whole time.
I've been playing with After Effects. It's tricky. Achieving that on your first go-round is really impressive!
Ooooh! I really love this sound! I can't help but smile as I listen to this. :)
Found this song in a thread titled "What Song would you listen to during your last minutes?"
After having listened to it i can see why someone would pick it, and can't believe it only has 18.5K views in almost 2 years.
Feels decades old. The vibe I'm getting from vocals are killin me.
As usual I love your stuff. I'm glad your lyrics are less ponish, I've been losing interest in ponies but still love a lot of music the community creates..
I’m so sad I can’t find this particular one on Spotify :(. But I feel blessed for having found it at all
I'm going to try to have that rectified with another song collection in the next few months
not sure why but i just.. can't stop listening to this song. i like it too much. i've had this looping for over two months now, and sure, i'll put something else on periodically, but i keep coming back to it every day or two. it's a really nice song.
Glad to hear another song from you. Feels like an eternity since I got to enjoy
one of your beautiful melodies.
This song is so good I really like the beats in it and just sounds good and keep up the good work ;D
Yeah this one will be burned into my mind until I die
i dont know why but i love the lyrics
I can't help but come back to this song every time you post. It will always be in my playlist and I'll never get over how good it is.
Awesome track, vocals, and visuals! Loved how it ended. Also I love the vocal style! :D Great work!!
This is just brilliant.
I said it in the live chat, and I'll say it here. Your voice is like honey:D This song is one of my favorites from the album!
Awesome stuff, your music always impresses.
I'm so in love with this right now...
I love hearing your work again! It always has such a nice sound. Very well done, Replacer! :)
The tune makes me want to smile, but the lyrics make me want to feel sad for somebody, and I am torn on how to feel. Good song though.
-that's how you know it's art-
Deli73 I still listen to this a year later xD.
@@drnoob42 Still listening today.
LotlFilly yup.
This album is certainly worthwhile.Your song is one of my favorites there too.The album seriously deserve a lot more support
This song makes me feel very good. Thank you :)
Always nice to see you post something, Replacer! :)
I've been getting p@d tracks since Voyager, but for some reason never picked up any of the old ones. Luckily for me, Anthology brought some pretty awesome tunes that I never heard. This is by far my favorite in the album. Just thought I should let you know that your work is highly appriceated :)
I can not believe I haven't heard this before, this truly is a masterpiece.
This is exactly the music I love when experiencing an existential crisis. Panning shots of me in my car flying down the free way at night, oh yeah this is the stuff.
I find myself listening to this song almost every day. The algorithm knows I like it and I never skip it when it comes on. I find it so calming and therapeutic. It has such an amazing atmosphere. Love you Replacer, stay safe
I kind of like it. It's mellow.
The song takes a hard toll today, its sad. Its was good and meaningful then, but now its become salt in the wound of a dieing world for greed and ego. Replacer, Im sorry you were living now then.
Every time I hear something you've made it makes me want to smile and sing along :)
After a long week at work this has really made everything alright.
Thank you for being such an amazing artist!
+Fuck Google Plus In The Ass! you have the best name
So nice to hear you again! :D
I love the singing parts !
Great job
I feel like I'm only just discovering some really talented brony musicians who I somehow missed back then
Well, you're talented as well! The 2013 Gypsy Bard Remix's typography is one of my favorite videos!
Beautiful, can't stop listening.
To quote what I said on the stream, this one actually does remind me of "In Defense of Madness" a fair bit X3 Are the narratives of those songs in any way related? owo
Anyway, great song~ Going straight to the music library ;D
+FritzyBeat not sure, maybe just a similar mood to the lyrics or something ^^; thanks for the support as always
replacer Interesting owo Well, looks like I'll have to dive into the lyrics of both songs and just come up with my own headcannon connection ;D *shot*
No worries =) Keep up the amazing work
Oh wow. So nice to hear something from replacer again! I've been following him forever and he's music is the first, which brought me to other music than Electro/House, Hands Up etc.
ahh wonderful. All of your vocals, such a harmony
this is REALLY REALLY GOOD and unique, i LOVE IT
I'm loving it Replacer! Great job.
I absolutely love this song! I'm so glad I bought the album and discovered this.
This song is beautiful
Wow. hes back. Good job man.
Oo, I like it. Has a kind of Awolnation vibe to it.
You are very talented. Your music is very artistic. I've recently become a fan of yours.
For yourself and your fans, never stop making music.
think i must have heard this on BBC introducing. Love it!*****
Even after 6 years, and im aware this was made in the height of the mlp fandom, this still has a good relevance to it today. Just saying.
I love this.
me too
in my mind, this would be a perfect song to listen in the Wasteland.
This makes a good listen in 2019 :P
THIS SONG IS JUST AWESOME My god been trying to find who made this for starlit flames and i have finally found out who! and it HAD to be Replacer :D
so good! I've been following you since you featured on "you found me" with aviators, and i have to say, this is your best song yet. keep up the great work, and thanks for brightening up my days with your music
love it
Just donated 10$, I hope more of us will do the same. Your style is really unique and I hope you will keep on composing. The vocals in this one are just amazing :)
This song reminds me that, while I really enjoy fast music, the slow songs are the ones that I like the most.
Same. I sometimes cant really understand fast music but sometimes I can but I still like slow songs
Well done
You'r back!
i think i might make up 1,000 of those 24,000 views
Please please please! Add this to Apple Music I beg it’s amazing
You’ve done it thx a million this is the best
excellent :)
The voice leading in this is very nice. I think?
I dunno why but this song makes me think of Fallout... And then Fox News, then Fallout again... I like it though.
I'm curious. Are there any stems available for this song?
P.S: I'm getting a Pink Floyd vibe from the vocals :D
+GeekBrony Thanks! well I isolated the vocals recently bit.ly/1Sn9wav
Haven't made a full set of stems though.
+replacer
Is it alright if I use those isolated vocals for a music video?
It would not be monetized.
I don't see why not, just include a link back to me and maybe mention Ponies at Dawn while you're at it
replacer
Of course.
Thank you.
What genre is it? So smooth and comfy. Love it.
I've been thinking about this question and I don't really have an answer, it'd be cool if someone could tell me
@@replacer you actually answered me?! So happy. Waiting for new releases
@@replacer I'm not into music genres, but I would call it electro soul
not bad
Anybody else still listening to this in 2021?
Yea.
Yep
Now 2022 as well
is there any where I can buy just this one song, without buying the whole album?
the album is free or pay what you want
Hey dude. A friend turned me onto your channel. Could you create a playlist of all tour chill songs???
Pretty please with a cherry on top.
I can try and do that!
Would it be possible for me to quote the lyrics of this in something I'm writing? All the proper credit will be given to you, of course, in whatever format you would prefer.
Maxwell Garnaat yeah I'd be okay with that.
replacer Thank you very much! Just wanted to let you know: you are legitimately one of my favorite musicians ever. Seriously, its rare to find an artist so creative and so effective at their craft - thank you for contributing so much!
I really NEED to understand some of the fragments of the song
those 2 dislikers are people with no imaginations
omg ikr
Ghost Your seeing me everywhere because I'm in your house >:D
Jeff Alexander Woods Ahhh jeff why do you have a knife?!
Ghost Shhhhhhh, there is no reason to know that......maybe this is just a dream......just.......go to sleep....everything will be okay...haha....
Jeff Alexander Woods O_O
Can someone explain the lyrics to me?
but what exactly is this song about from your perspective?
I could think of it as being like a dream you might have after reading a dystopian novel
In the beginning it looks like they are spiders
good song to inject pcp
