Lyrics: How does the time pass me by? So hard to stay the same How does the rain quickly dry as it forgets my name Could I go back And see you once again? As the snow starts to fall and carry you all alone It's been so long Since I knew you Somehow you got through to me It's been so long Someday I could feel it But now I can't see where the days have gone How does the time feel so long? It takes me by surprise I couldn't know that you'd go And leave me in the night Could I go back And see you once again? As the snow starts to fall and carry you all alone It's been so long Since I knew you Somehow you got through to me It's been so long Someday I could feel it But now I can't see where the days have gone ============== Wall of Text Alert =============== What a journey this has been. When I started writing this song, I intended it to be about Rainbow Dash's relationship with Tank during the episode Tanks for the Memories. But as I kept writing, I realized that a lot of the lyrics encapsulated a lot of my own feelings toward this fandom. I discovered this treasure trove of a community sometime in the middle of 2013. It was mostly on a whim, but I started watching MLP because I was curious as to why people could ever like such a "kids' show" (Ironically, I was also a smol child back then, but I didn't know that yet xD). I watched one episode, then the entire 3 seasons, and before I knew it, I was anticipating the 4th season more than anything else in my life at the time. This fandom has also introduced me to some of the coolest people in the world, from the folks at MLPdrawingschool (I'm sorry I don't talk to y'all as much anymore D:) to the massive Ponies at Dawn community. It's hard to imagine where I'd be without all of these incredible experiences. I first started making music in 2014 after being inspired by musicians like TheLivingTombstone, WoodenToaster, AwkwardMarina, etc. I had such wild dreams when I first started out - I remember thinking about what it would take to get a collab with MandoPony haha. Things definitely didn't turn out as I hoped it would, but I kept going for the next few years, trying to learn everything I could about music production. It was a very slow progression. If you take a peek into my "Old, Experimental Songs" playlist, I'm sure you'll see what I'm talking about lol. Still, I eventually came to a point where I began improving exponentially. Most of it was thanks to the wonderful folk on the Ponies at Dawn Skype group (hhhh remember when Skype was a thing?). I practically lived in the feedback channel for a few months, taking in as much information and feedback as possible. It probably got annoying with how often I posted in there, tbh xP. Thanks to the help of so many awesome producers, I was able to make my first debut on Ponies at Dawn: Voyager. I still remember that rush of emotion as I checked my messages one morning to see that big ol' "Congratulations!" in my notifications. It's definitely a moment I can never forget. And now, here I am. It's true that my wildest dreams were broken in the blink of an eye (im accepting donations of 1mill subscribers btw, hit me up xd). The dreams that came after that felt almost unachievable, but little by little, I made my way toward them. However, if it weren't for the wonderful brony community, I'd probably have given up a lot sooner. Even at my worst, I was lifted up and encouraged by various people in the comments section. I still have not seen a community as supportive and wholesome as this one. This community made me into who I am today. Although my interest in MLP is definitely waning, I never want to forget this amazing community or leave it behind. Even as I move in a new direction with my music, I will continue to make pony-related songs to submit to Ponies at Dawn for as long it exists. It's been a great 5 years. I may not know what the future holds (*ahem*), but I'll be sure to carry my past with me wherever I go.
