*Read this intro before you look at my list*

 

Alright, how do I even begin...

 

When I first set forth to make this blog, I had wanted to make a Top 5 favorites list, just like Rivendare did, here.

 

I realized I couldn't just choose 5 songs, because there are way too many songs I love from the show. Now you may be thinking, "Oh, it's because he's indecisive..." --- But you couldn't be more wrong. It's because I'm too decisive, and stubborn. And, also because if you analyze my favorites, and the order I place them in, you'll see a pattern that you can derive a meaning from...

 

I'll say this now, my list of favorites may come as a shock to some of you.

 

*Disclaimer: Most people would start from the bottom and make their #1 favorite be at the end of the list, as a build-up. I am not doing this. I start from my #1 favorite because it's easier to write about what you like the most... However, despite how verbose I may usually be, I might find it hard to write much for the rest of the songs.*

Miles' Top Favorite MLP:FIM Songs:

 

1.

 

When I watched the Season 3 finale for the first time, and this song came on... I was in tears so much that I could barely see the screen. The song is beautiful, and the way they showed clips and pics from previous episodes makes this song even better.

 

It builds up what I like to call this "Brony Nostalgia" by showing you memories from past episodes.

 

But the number one reason?

 

As a college student... I know what it's like to experience homesickness.

But even more so, I know how my parents missed me being home.

 

Celestia may not have been Twilight's parent, but the feeling is all the same, because Twilight was her special student for a long time. The bond that Twilight felt with Celestia was as strong as any...

 

And Twilight was growing up. Becoming something that she never thought she could even dream of being.

 

---

 

I don't care that some people didn't like Twilight's Alicornification, because I liked it, and I found a special meaning that I could connect to my own life.

 

Leaving home... ... was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

 

Celestia's Ballad is a beautiful song to begin with, but when attached to the meaning it can connect to with my own life... it's just that much more special.

 

 

2.

// I've Got To Find A Way [Extended]

 

Surprisingly, though you'd think I might place this here for having a connection to own my own life again, but nope. I just think this song sounds as if it could be a legitimate song; something that someone who didn't know about MLP would have no idea that it was connected to the show.

 

The way she extends out the "why" (or the "try" in the extended version) is just amazing.

 

Also, in the original version, the way the colors were faded out... that was excellent. It made the song have more emotional pull.

 

 

3.

 

I was crying the whole time the first time I saw this in the Season 4 finale because, even though I knew it wasn't --- it felt like it had the potential to end the whole series. And even when I consciously realized that it wasn't, I then saw the point the song made...

 

Damn. We've been through a LOT of episodes. We've watched the ponies grow up together. We've seen them make memories with each other...

 

Some people might think of the Season 3 finale in this way, but I see the Season 4 finale as being a sort of... peak, or climax, or breaking point/turning point in the story.

 

Why? Because now she's a princess with a purpose. No more wondering what she's meant to do. She now knows that her purpose has actually been exactly what she's been doing the whole time! So, that's why I see this as "The End of The Beginning" and thus, Season 5 will be the start of something different, in a good way.

 

 

4.

 

This was just one episode before the Season 4 finale, and thus, came before "Let The Rainbow Remind You." I kind of give it some of the same meaning, except this song is while Twilight is still searching for her role as a princess.

 

Also, hearing all the alicorns sing together was just totally awesome.

 

I can't tell you which one I like more (in terms of singing)... but I can say that I love how unique Cadance's voice is on the word "belong!"

 

 

5. Hearts Strong As Horses

 

The placement of this song in my list may come as a surprise to some... or someone... ehem, but don't think of it as being lesser than the songs above it; think of it as those songs having more of a special meaning to me.

 

I love this song so much! It's so energized and triumphant sounding. The CMC's all do a great job singing, and this has always been one of my favorite songs from the first time I heard it.

 

 

---

Because of the fact that this was originally meant to be a Top 5, I am not going to write anything for numbers 6 through 10, and I am going to label them as "Honorable Mentions"...

 

Why not just have the Top 5 and not list 6 through 10? When have I ever been know to fall in line with common boundaries!? Haha... Consider them proof that I can be decisive. I'm just not going to write about them because I don't really have much to say other than that I like them alot, and that the order I put them in really is how I feel.
