Hay everypony! Hope you're doin' super. ;)

 

Anyway, according to Miss Meghan we won't be getting another song in season 4 for a while:

So since we've already heard most of them so far, I wanted to do a top 5 for this season's amazing songs so far! These are purely my thoughts of course, so here we go!

 

5. Cheese Confesses

Of all the songs featuring Weird Al in Pinkie Pride, this one was by far the best in my opinion. While the other ones were fun and silly no doubt, this song got across some great character development for Cheese Sandwich, and showed just why he's such a super-duper party pony- he was inspired at one of Pinkie Pie's parties! Which then causes a mid-song conversation, which was cool in this case, and ends off with Cheese and Pinkie singing into town for Rainbow Dash's birthday party with their party battle machines- if that's not love, I dunno what is. Overall a song with good vocals and great development for a likely one-off character. :)

 

4. Glass of Water

In Three's a Crowd, Discord finally gets his own song! And it's fun, chaotic, and full of silly animation and references. John de Lancie's singing isn't half bad either, mostly just silly but not terrible. Overall a cool and humorous song that's always entertaining for me, and possibly the best way to ask for a glass of water ever done by anyone ever. :umad:

 

3. Stop the Bats

In Bats!, we got a fantastic duet between Fluttershy and Applejack here. Sure, some might argue that the squabble in the song was a bit one sided, but it all gets resolved as the episode goes on anyway, and doesn't stop it from being an amazing song. I believe it's been stated that Ingram was trying to channel Danny Elfman here, and it's certainly evident since the song sounds like it would fit right at home in the likes of The Nightmare Before Christmas or something. It is a very much an MLP song as well though, so while somewhat darker in tone there are still some bits of cuteness here and there within it. Overall a very awesome song. :wacko:

 

2. Generosity

Rarity Takes Manehatten is where Rarity made her triumphant return to episodic spotlight, and what better way to help kick it off than a musical number about her giving spirit? Not only is the song a sort of kick in the pants towards some fans, but it's also beautifully sung, and show's off the episode's setting very well in its animation. The reprise is sung even better, really gets across Rarity's feeling of guilt as to how she treated her friends with some of the most gorgeous singing that Rarity's singer, Kazumi Evans, has ever done on the show. Overall probably Rarity's best song and definitely one of the very best of the season no doubt. :D

 

1. Pinkie's Lament

Now, this song is definitely the best one in Pinkie Pride. It might seem a bit odd at first depicting a sort of sudden mid-life crisis for Pinkie that she pretty much in no time snaps out of... but it's much more than that, really! It's really deep and somewhat bleak at first, but eventually between the part that Pinkie puts away her party supplies and the spoken word part, the song evolves into pure emotional and motivational nirvana, with some of the most gorgeous singing Shannon Chan-Kent has ever done for Pinkie Pie and some seriously awesome continuity nods. I could seriously listen to this song all day and night, the state of mind it can put someone in from its genius composition and overall beautiful sound and message is nearly unparalleled compared to other MLP songs, for me anyway. Overall, even though Rarity is my favorite pony, I simply cannot deny that Pinkie Pie had the best song here in Pinkie's Lament of the whole season in my opinion, if not undisputedly one of the best songs of the whole series. :wub:

 

Random thoughts on the rest:

 

Apples to the Core is a fine song really, but the animation for the song is just extremely literal and I feel that they may have made the vocals a bit too prominent in the final mix. I really like it but I just find the top 5 to be better.

The rest of the songs in Pinkie Pride were great as well, but I didn't want to pick too many songs from the same episode here. So I picked the ones from it I thought were the most special and meant the most from the episode.

Hearts Strong as Horses... I dunno, it's not that great. The CMC have done much better. The animation gets points for having Bulk Biceps in it though.

 

 

Man, I sure do say overall a lot. That calls for a picture of something in overalls. :comeatus:

Anyway, that's my list of my top 5 favorite season 4 songs so far. Feel free to make your own or tell me how dumb my picks were or something. Thanks for reading! :yay:
