To answer a common question: The percussion is deliberately light on this track. The song was built around the strength of the synth, which was designed to fill the bass and kick drum rolls. Crank this on a good system and you'll see exactly what I mean... >:-)
Then you're WROOOONG!!!... >8-[ Seriously though, I was gonna put a certain Hour Glass cutie mark on the pony, but decided not to as I thought it would clash with the overall minimalistic design... Does that answer your question GoannaMaster12?
Thanks mate!! :-D No, I've never had any singing lessons. To be honest, I always thought it was silly to have someone else teach me something I could figure out on my own... (Please don't take that the wrong way. I could figure out a better way to word it. :-P)
There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes that I'm not gonna talk about until they're more set in stone. However, I will say that DHX is not completely out of the question. :-)
Every night for the past week I've been going through MLP music that I've found here on RUclips, and I don't even think I'm a faction through it all. Bronies, I implore you to take a break from being so damn awesome and creative so I can catch up!
I've noticed that a lot of your songs are dedicated to certain characters. For instance: Quest - Spike Faster Than You Know - Twilight Taking Off - Scootaloo But I'd been wondering what this one was, and now I think I know. It's the Doctor isn't it?
this is the second time ive come back to a song of yours and completely fallen in love with it, whereas at first I was like, "m-hm, nice song." they grow on me. :)
This was always by far my favorite song because I was such a hardcore whovian and such a hardcore brony it just all clicked and the whole doctor whooves and derpy side of the fandom became my favorite thing.
When I was at my lowest point in my life, this song (and a few of your other absolute jams) got me bopping my head and dancing around even when I wanted to not exist anymore. Thank you for being there for me for all these years 💜
I had the exact same experience! Listening to this song, Taking Off, Zero Gravity, and the others kept me grounded when I wasn't able to think straight. The power of music, am I right?
AMAZING!! i just woke up and was like "lets listen to some music to wake up" then the beat hit...im awake enough to last all day. thanks BG you and your brothers music is always great!!
Somehow my way through the internet brought me here again. I remember seeing you at Galacon 2014 or 2015, I can't remember. And I dropped this song and "Quest" a few times in my sets on the various conventions. No regrets, they're still great tracks!
... ok wow I have never had this situation in my whole entire life... I love every single song and video on your channel... you fellow brony are one of the most amazing people i ever did see...
Well amazing work as always! You both are extremely talented and, while I'm here, have to say that you're personally one of my favorite artists in the fandom. Ever since "Proud to be a Brony" came out, you've been an inspiration to so many, both Militants and non, and it's extremely appreciated. Continue being awesome and I hope to continue seeing what else you have in store for us
who watching in 2016 woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo were proud of how freaking far you've come Gabe it makes me wanna dance.*dances badly*
I get a Doctor Who feeling.. Imma guess. Is it about Doctor Whooves because of how it talks about he's not gonna be hold down? Because of the lyrics "What are the odds that I would fall again, to a world that's not my own?", it sounds like he's not from Equestria exactly. So like he landed in Equestria and he's holding on, for now, since he's never been a pony in his lifetime. Also because you said WHO when you ask the question XD That's my guess xD Brohoof! (\
Honestly, you are probably my favorite artist. I have no idea how you are not more popular... Every single song of yours is just absolutely amazing, and everyone who hears your music instantly becomes a fan... You are just the best ever!
You guys are quite a pair. I mean it. I discovered your collaborative work with P.I.R.L. about one year ago, and everything I heard from you and Baasik (MLP-related or not) was pretty much awesome, and to be honest, this is no exception. Congratulation, and keep it up! P.S.: Can't really decide between option A and D :/
I've got an idea. What if the video only has BlackGryph0n and Baasik's logos and Doctor (W)Hooves only, but when the beat drops the word 'RUN' appears? It would give an interesting level of simplicity to the design of the video. Just an opinion.
Really smooth track. I dig it. Great build up at 2:39 and fantastic drop at 3:04. Though I would criticize the execution of the shift/drop following 2:40. Other than that, great melodic transitions!
it all makes sense,it's the DOCTOR! he's the last of the timelords,"and what are the odds that through it all again i could find myself alone"! he travels through SPACE and time in the TARDIS "i'll watch the stars come out"! He never stop's running that's why the song is called run! THIS IS PERFECT!!!!!!!!! ah yes " and what are the odds that i would fall again to a world that's not my own?" he fell onto earth. I LOVE THIS
Black Gryph0n, if by chance you read this, I just wanted to compliment and thank you. You are an amazingly skilled musician. Your songs are of the rare variety of music that isn't listened to; its felt. Your music elicits emotions in a way that very few musicians can. So, that being said, thank you. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent. You make me proud to be part of this amazing fandom.
Honestly, Black Gryph0n, there arnae words tae describe the pure magnificence tha is the creativity tha you poses ... you shouldna hold back any af your art. You, lad, you need tae throw everything you hae at the community ... holding back your creativity is a bloody mortal sin ... I have tae say Gryph0n you make me damn bloody proud tae be a Brony! I canna say that I've ever heard something as good as tha since .. well since the last time Derpy Hooves uttered beautiful syllables fa her lips!
My message is clear it echoes through out the stars through out universes and into the darkest corners of the Galaxy leave the in habitants of this universe alone they live in peace and harmony they don't need your way of life corrupting there's and if you dare try don't say I didn't warn you for you will have much worse to go up against then anything you could possibly imagine trust me this world this universe is protected far beyond any other - The Doctor
I love this song, ever since it was realesed it has been my ringtone, my chill song, my workout song, the one song that has plagued my mind (in a good way) /)
I noticed your Homestcuk picture, or whatever it is. What exactly is that anyway? A friend told me about it, but I'm not sure what it is or how to find the correct thing.
Jeremiah Johnson My picture is a simplistic (if you could call it that) image of Sollux Captor who, like you said, is from Homestuck. You should give it a read if you haven't already. I can send you the image if you would like.
Psyco Pony Don't apologize. just means we believe the same thing. although, the image of that pony does look like... either the doctor (doubt it) or... Baasik... BlackGryphon, is this song about Baasik?
BlackGryph0n and BAASIK, never going wrong with yer work. A very danceable and lively piece, this. The unevenness of certain parts of the beat is interesting. Fine vocal performance here, BlackGryph0n, and fine soundwork, BAASIK. You rock, brothers. Well done. Also, Pinkie Pie.
I absolutely love the sound of this song, your voice and the instruments work so well and the animations are perfectly matched! But whenever I listen to the lyrics it drags down my enthusiasm. The lyrics are so obscure this song could easily be a Doctor Who tribute song and have nothing to do with MLP. I'm not saying throw in the word pony or Equestria, but having more indirect references to the show would have been nice.
I am SO glad that you, pretty much my favourite artist along with your bro, are still releasing your music for free :P I mean paying isn't such a big deal, but effort and money :s
Mr. Gryp0n I feel I would be blessed if I had even a fraction of the talent you and your brother posses. I've tried my hand at music many times, and each time I've been sorely disappointed in my results. However, every time I hear something amazing such as this, I feel like I can pick myself up and try again. Thank you for being an inspiration sir.
I love your music and your singings! You two are just awesome! You're actually one of the singers that inspired me to do my own songs and music, I'm looking for singing lessons and trying to figure out how to do the music. Keep up the good work, you two!
And what are the odds that I would fall again, To a world that's not my own? And what are the odds that through it all, again, I could find myself alone? But you can't hold me down! I'll watch the stars come out! Above this shaking ground, I'm holding on, for now. And you can't hold me down! I'll watch the stars come out! Above this breaking ground, I'm holding on, for now! I'm holding on, for now... And you can't hold me down! I'll watch the stars come out! Above this breaking ground, I'm holding on, for now! I'm holding on, for now I'm holding on, for now I'm holding on, for now I'm holding on, for now...
To answer a common question:
The percussion is deliberately light on this track.
The song was built around the strength of the synth, which was designed to fill the bass and kick drum rolls.
Crank this on a good system and you'll see exactly what I mean... >:-)
Actually, I'm the singer. But thank you! :3
I did all of the singing, Nate (baasik) created all of the synths and sounds. :-)
Baasik is my brother.
We work together as often as we can, but it's kinda hard to do when we're serving on opposite sides of the world. :-P
Then you're WROOOONG!!!... >8-[
Seriously though, I was gonna put a certain Hour Glass cutie mark on the pony, but decided not to as I thought it would clash with the overall minimalistic design...
Does that answer your question GoannaMaster12?
OMG! Honestly, I think you are! (First to comment anyway) I had almost forgotten about it! XD
We both do both, but in this case; he made the track, and I sang. :-)
*pants*
"YOU CAN'T HOLD ME NOW!!! WATCH THE STARS COME OUT! ALL THIS SHAKING GROUND!!!"
*runs on the tredmile again*
*passes out from tiredness*
***** comment and profile pic fit too well
...I feel like this would be in some strange action movie fight scene...
within a club... in Germany...
naturally
Germany is Awesome ^^
Oh
Why in Germany?
As long as someone brought a banana to a party
Thanks mate!! :-D
No, I've never had any singing lessons. To be honest, I always thought it was silly to have someone else teach me something I could figure out on my own... (Please don't take that the wrong way. I could figure out a better way to word it. :-P)
Ooh nice! I've never taken lessons either, and it's good to know that I might even get as good as you despite that!
aea
There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes that I'm not gonna talk about until they're more set in stone. However, I will say that DHX is not completely out of the question. :-)
Set In Stone, you say?
Every night for the past week I've been going through MLP music that I've found here on RUclips, and I don't even think I'm a faction through it all.
Bronies, I implore you to take a break from being so damn awesome and creative so I can catch up!
I've noticed that a lot of your songs are dedicated to certain characters. For instance:
Quest - Spike
Faster Than You Know - Twilight
Taking Off - Scootaloo
But I'd been wondering what this one was, and now I think I know. It's the Doctor isn't it?
I'm 7 years late but you're correct
Yes, it is
FIRST!...
Aww dang it. :-(
this is the second time ive come back to a song of yours and completely fallen in love with it, whereas at first I was like, "m-hm, nice song." they grow on me. :)
Same with Crusaders
RubixSoul Same with basically every song he does.
Adrik Bogdanov All the songs
ALL THE AWESOME
RubixSoul Sounds like JackSepticEye O_e
Adrik Bogdanov... I admit I've heard of him before but I never watched his vids...
YET
This was always by far my favorite song because I was such a hardcore whovian and such a hardcore brony it just all clicked and the whole doctor whooves and derpy side of the fandom became my favorite thing.
"Can you guess WHO this song is about?"
Subtle, Gryph0n. Real subtle.
2022 Calling we need this song back
Обожаю этот трек ❤️
When I was at my lowest point in my life, this song (and a few of your other absolute jams) got me bopping my head and dancing around even when I wanted to not exist anymore. Thank you for being there for me for all these years 💜
I had the exact same experience! Listening to this song, Taking Off, Zero Gravity, and the others kept me grounded when I wasn't able to think straight. The power of music, am I right?
AMAZING!! i just woke up and was like "lets listen to some music to wake up" then the beat hit...im awake enough to last all day. thanks BG you and your brothers music is always great!!
The beginning was good already, but at 1:12 it got me completely!
More of these collabs please!
Awesome!
It's written in the... Oh... Well you should read the description before making an assumption and presenting it as fact... ;-P
I wish I knew someone that close that I can be a brony around lol
hey, it’s been 8 years but you can still be one around me! lol i hope you’re well and still around :)
Even with all you guys' awesome new music coming out now, these early collabs with Baasik are still just wonderful fun
"The Doctor, the man who keeps running, never looking back, because he dare not, out of shame." - Davros
I don't upload anything that I am not directly involved in!
Anyone else just want that running animation as a gif? I know I do, I could watch it all day.
Somehow my way through the internet brought me here again. I remember seeing you at Galacon 2014 or 2015, I can't remember. And I dropped this song and "Quest" a few times in my sets on the various conventions. No regrets, they're still great tracks!
Oh yeah now when I look at the lyrics, they do describe the Doctor. Especially the finding himself alone again and the watching the stars come out😉
... ok wow I have never had this situation in my whole entire life... I love every single song and video on your channel... you fellow brony are one of the most amazing people i ever did see...
Actually, my channel name has always been "christkids"
I just figured out a way to change how it appears to everyone else. ;-)
Well amazing work as always! You both are extremely talented and, while I'm here, have to say that you're personally one of my favorite artists in the fandom. Ever since "Proud to be a Brony" came out, you've been an inspiration to so many, both Militants and non, and it's extremely appreciated. Continue being awesome and I hope to continue seeing what else you have in store for us
Depending on the song, either me or my brother will write the lyrics. It's only me or him though, never anyone else. :-)
The next year, this all changed!
No, but you replied to him, and he's the one who asked the initial question. Thought I'd kill to birds with one stone, figuratively speaking.
1:41 Ah-ha, I saw that!
Confirmed, this is for the Doctor.
Fezzes are cool!
#fez4life
Ohohohoo
So much A. I'm stunned. You just pulled out a masterpiece :D
Gabe performed this live at EFNW 2021.
I was there. It was fire
2024 anyone? This song is still a banger 🕺
I so wanna be a song producer now haha not joking I'm actually practicing on a professional music thing on my computer I'm still learning
perhaps the best song I have ever heard in my life!!
A friend _just_ reminded me of this awesome song-
2022 still listening to this. Still feels like 2013
who watching in 2016 woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo were proud of how freaking far you've come Gabe it makes me wanna dance.*dances badly*
Same! woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
*Dances weirdly*
so coolll
Love it! Bravo boys (^.^)
I have lots of money, am extremely attractive, and I'm probably the best piano player/robe wearer since Jesus, but I'm not arrogant!!...
XD
I dare you to watch this entire video guys. DON'T BLINK
+Flashcam15 done whats my prize?
+benjamyn therele IKR!!!!
+Delorna Williams ???
benjamyn therele
I said I know right to what's my prize XD
Delorna Williams k
Because the U.S. Military is an incredibly demanding job.
I get a Doctor Who feeling..
Imma guess. Is it about Doctor Whooves because of how it talks about he's not gonna be hold down?
Because of the lyrics "What are the odds that I would fall again, to a world that's not my own?", it sounds like he's not from Equestria exactly.
So like he landed in Equestria and he's holding on, for now, since he's never been a pony in his lifetime.
Also because you said WHO when you ask the question XD
That's my guess xD Brohoof! (\
The pony in the video looks like doctor whooves
True. And I just noticed at one point that he said "Fezzes are cool!" XD
So I guess it is Doctor Whooves/Who?
The Doctor is everywhere. That's the truth.
Yep. That's the truth.
The song does match the 11th doctor well
Honestly, you are probably my favorite artist. I have no idea how you are not more popular... Every single song of yours is just absolutely amazing, and everyone who hears your music instantly becomes a fan... You are just the best ever!
Brilliant
Very fitting
Hello Doctor
Nick Bot Hello!
The Doctor Fezzes are cool.
Joseph Thomas So are bow ties
The Doctor No but really there is a link to a video. when it changes back to the normal and its not running theres a annotation on dr whooves :D
Not going to lie this song plays at least 5 times when I go running :) good rythm and your voice carries very well through out the song great job!
Hey! Doctor Who! Instant like and favourite!
You guys are quite a pair. I mean it. I discovered your collaborative work with P.I.R.L. about one year ago, and everything I heard from you and Baasik (MLP-related or not) was pretty much awesome, and to be honest, this is no exception.
Congratulation, and keep it up!
P.S.: Can't really decide between option A and D :/
i don't know why, but I imagine this being for the doctor, as in doctor who
i don't know why
well me too. i imagine it to be the 9th/10th doctor
because.... fezes are cool.
Mustard Mustache This literally about the ponifcated version of the Doctor.
Maybe that's because he's literally mentioned it being about the Doctor several times...? |D
theWeaverofTales dude, i realised that about now
Unlikely
Wow this was way back from 2013 and I'm sitting here thinking that's one of his recent videos.
Toooo! XD
No, Baasik AND I made it.
I sang it as well.
Baasik is my brother and also a brony musician.
I've got an idea. What if the video only has BlackGryph0n and Baasik's logos and Doctor (W)Hooves only, but when the beat drops the word 'RUN' appears? It would give an interesting level of simplicity to the design of the video. Just an opinion.
nostalgia pe
Have I ever mentioned that, when you and BAASIK work together, it seems you cannot do wrong?
if you have, I don't think you've mentioned it enough... I don't think it's possible to mention enough. these guys are just to amazing.
JediJess1 i agree :/
You and Baasik are both amazing in your own right. When you come together, though, it's like a perfect storm of awesomeness.
(\ I love reading descriptions!
me too! I also love reading comment sections! /)
Really smooth track. I dig it.
Great build up at 2:39 and fantastic drop at 3:04. Though I would criticize the execution of the shift/drop following 2:40. Other than that, great melodic transitions!
it all makes sense,it's the DOCTOR! he's the last of the timelords,"and what are the odds that through it all again i could find myself alone"! he travels through SPACE and time in the TARDIS "i'll watch the stars come out"!
He never stop's running that's why the song is called run! THIS IS PERFECT!!!!!!!!!
ah yes " and what are the odds that i would fall again to a world that's not my own?" he fell onto earth. I LOVE THIS
BINGO!!! 100% Correct!
Oh, and thanks! ^^
***** WOO HOO!
CROSSOVER! NOW!
Morgen Freeman YAS!
dawn whooves IT IS A MUST!!!
Black Gryph0n, if by chance you read this, I just wanted to compliment and thank you. You are an amazingly skilled musician. Your songs are of the rare variety of music that isn't listened to; its felt. Your music elicits emotions in a way that very few musicians can. So, that being said, thank you. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
You make me proud to be part of this amazing fandom.
AWSOME
Love that song
i just found it....i wish i knew earlier lol
I found it a little while ago
you stole gryph0n's waifu i'd run flash!
Why does everyone hate flash??
still better than what i hear on the radio almost every day, even after 4 years!
Which of you two does what in these? I wanna know who to give creds to for the great vocals, and for the music behind them, and everything else.
I usually sing, and Nate (baasik) usually writes the music. But we trade off sometimes, like in Crusader. :-3
*****
You're both great at both :)
Wow, really? You two sound very alike. I wouldn't have guessed.
***** when you gonna tell us who the song is about
shadowpony
It seems like it's about Doctor Whooves.
+La Toonami Kill yeah it's Doctor whooves
I love hearing everything you and your brother put out. It's amazing! Also, that you so much for letting me meet you at Bronycon! Huge fan!
Run!...Run And Never Look Back!.. :')
No need to apologize, I'm not mad.
Sorry if I cam across that way, I'm just blunt some times.
(Military habits I guess. :-P)
What program Baasik use to make music?
I use FL Studio, and yeah I make music too.
[no one cares]
[Because you have no heart]?
Pretty much.
PH_Brony130 But it is a really nice song and very well done!
Yes it is, but I'm still thinking of what Baasik used to make the beat and melody, well, some of the melody is from BlackGryph0n.
Seriously, that song moved me man. I salute you for that.
Still the best song on the internet
Jumana Lipa What about 3 years later?
Honestly, Black Gryph0n, there arnae words tae describe the pure magnificence tha is the creativity tha you poses ... you shouldna hold back any af your art. You, lad, you need tae throw everything you hae at the community ... holding back your creativity is a bloody mortal sin ... I have tae say Gryph0n you make me damn bloody proud tae be a Brony! I canna say that I've ever heard something as good as tha since .. well since the last time Derpy Hooves uttered beautiful syllables fa her lips!

This fandom, I swear... SO many AMAZINGLY talented people!
Excellent work, BAASIK and Black Gryph0n!
fezzes are cool... lawl
I love this song, ever since it was realesed it has been my ringtone, my chill song, my workout song, the one song that has plagued my mind (in a good way) /)
Welp. Time to run again.
This is the best by far......flipping love it. Black Gryph0n..... You are the best
Who is this song about, is it supposed to be about his OC?
" *Who* is this song about?"
...-_(\
Its Doctor Whooves or really known as The Doctor XD
***** *Clap*... *Clap*... *Clap*!
I noticed your Homestcuk picture, or whatever it is. What exactly is that anyway? A friend told me about it, but I'm not sure what it is or how to find the correct thing.
Jeremiah Johnson
My picture is a simplistic (if you could call it that) image of Sollux Captor who, like you said, is from Homestuck. You should give it a read if you haven't already. I can send you the image if you would like.
The annotation at 1:41 confirmed my suspicion that it is about "Doctor Whooves"
Anyone else think that the strobe lights coming from half-screen seems like a crack in the universe?
Been a Gabe and Nate fan for ages and never ran across this one. Awesome.
Its written for Luna ?xD
I agree. I also suggested so earlier.
/)
o rly ? srry i didnt saw it :(
Psyco Pony Don't apologize. just means we believe the same thing. although, the image of that pony does look like... either the doctor (doubt it) or... Baasik...
BlackGryphon, is this song about Baasik?
It is actually Black Griffon
AH YEA !!! *****
BlackGryph0n and BAASIK, never going wrong with yer work. A very danceable and lively piece, this. The unevenness of certain parts of the beat is interesting. Fine vocal performance here, BlackGryph0n, and fine soundwork, BAASIK. You rock, brothers. Well done.
Also, Pinkie Pie.
I absolutely love the sound of this song, your voice and the instruments work so well and the animations are perfectly matched! But whenever I listen to the lyrics it drags down my enthusiasm. The lyrics are so obscure this song could easily be a Doctor Who tribute song and have nothing to do with MLP. I'm not saying throw in the word pony or Equestria, but having more indirect references to the show would have been nice.
This is seriously epic. This song is one of few who makes in the "Epic Music". Congrats!
I am SO glad that you, pretty much my favourite artist along with your bro, are still releasing your music for free :P I mean paying isn't such a big deal, but effort and money :s
Mr. Gryp0n I feel I would be blessed if I had even a fraction of the talent you and your brother posses. I've tried my hand at music many times, and each time I've been sorely disappointed in my results. However, every time I hear something amazing such as this, I feel like I can pick myself up and try again. Thank you for being an inspiration sir.
...beautiful... :')
Yup definitely buying the album
aaaaahhhhhh there's a whole album?! you guys are like..... freaking outstanding. i cant wait for the 15th!
Once again,congratulations. You've managed to make another song stuck in my head.
I love your music and your singings! You two are just awesome! You're actually one of the singers that inspired me to do my own songs and music, I'm looking for singing lessons and trying to figure out how to do the music. Keep up the good work, you two!
Basik and BlackGyph0n collabs are the best. AMAZING
Oh heck, Baasik and BG are at it again! You guys are unstoppable. :D
And what are the odds that I would fall again,
To a world that's not my own?
And what are the odds that through it all, again,
I could find myself alone?
But you can't hold me down!
I'll watch the stars come out!
Above this shaking ground,
I'm holding on, for now.
And you can't hold me down!
I'll watch the stars come out!
Above this breaking ground,
I'm holding on, for now!
I'm holding on, for now...
And you can't hold me down!
I'll watch the stars come out!
Above this breaking ground,
I'm holding on, for now!
I'm holding on, for now
I'm holding on, for now
I'm holding on, for now
I'm holding on, for now...
