Soul Harmonys 10 Favourite Songs from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
10 Favourite Songs from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Blessings from Equestria each and every one of you and Welcome to my first Blog, right here on MLPForums.
Today I thought I would share with you all my favourite Songs from the My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic series in a 10 favourites list which I hope you will all enjoy.
Now before we begin there will of course be a few key rules and notes to mention - firstly there will be no “Filler” songs so songs like “Giggle at the Ghosties” and “The Ticket Song” will not be on this list.
Secondly there is no limitation to this list - No “Two per Season” or “One per Episode” this is literally all about sharing my opinion on the 10 best songs in my opinion and if by the end of this there is a majority from one season then it is safe to assume I believe that season had the best music in the Show.
Finally and most importantly, This is not a Top 10 list but my 10 favourites - I will be cataloguing each song from first heard to last heard during all of My Little Pony 123 episodes and 3 movies (Yes there will probably be a song or two from the movies). However I will save what I believe is the best for Last…The song that IF I was making a Top 10 would be my number 1 no question so stay tuned for that.
With that said, Get those vocal cords ready because we are about to “Sing” the praises of the best Songs of My Little Pony.
Winter Wrap Up
Season 1, Episode 11 (Winter Wrap Up)
Starting us off is the song that in my eyes showed the fans that the song writers for the series could be something special as the citizens of Ponyville sung about cleaning up the old to make way for the new season (Sort of like going from Old school MLP to New School Friendship is Magic right?) whilst that one soul standing in the middle wondering what they should be doing in the midst of all of this.
This Song may not normally get onto others list but the fact remains that this song was pretty much the first big number for the show and it gave the creators something to consider for future episodes and because of that it deserves our respect and a place on my list.
This Day Aria
Season 2, Episode 26 (A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2)
You know I was debating this song hard but in the end there is no denying it - Queen Chrysalis and Princess Cadance are phenomenal singers and to not include it in this list would have people complaining how I could have ignore it.
Beginning with a beautiful Piano solo, The Song captures the emotions of both Chrysalis (Deceit) and Cadance (Love) so majestically and with such passion that by the end of it you don’t know that Cadance Loves Shining Armor but you FEEL it all the way into your very heart and for a song to be able to sit you down and tell you undeniably that this Girl loves this man makes it worthy of being a part of this list.
Raise This Barn
Season 3, Episode 8 (Apple Family Reunion)
Grab a family, tip your hat and do the hoe down because if you don’t love this upbeat song then there is something mighty wrong with you.
A whole song about fixing a broken barn shouldn’t be this fun and entertaining but the Apple Family pull it off and don’t deny it you clap along and sing “1,2,3,4″ throughout the entire song am I right? Of course I am .
What I loved most about this was the fact that before this the series only really did Pop Songs so for them to break off to a completely different genre of music, write a song that even the most die hard country fan could enjoy and just say to the fans “We can do more” was just a testament to the talent of the people involved.
And let us be honest, how many of you wanting to become an Apple because of this song and seeing the family work together as a family? I know I did .
Equestria Girls Song (Helping Twilight Sparkle Win the Crown)
Equestria Girls The Movie
Some may be shocked that I picked this song but allow me to explain my reason in the most simplest of ways possible *Inhales* …I absolutely loved this song and I thought I was a great nod to the old school teen pop songs from the 90s *Exhales*.
Seriously though, this song was a whole lot of fun to listen to for many reasons including the upbeat music and the seriously catchy chorus that has had me singing along and almost dancing in public (Yes I listen to the song on my music player).
This may be more shocking but I think this is probably the best song from all of the movies including Rainbow Rocks which may have alot of people getting their pitchforks out but I stand by that statement - I found the songs in Rainbow Rocks just too bland for a movie about Music so I probably wont be including any songs from it.
Apples to the Core
Season 4, Episode 9 (Pinkie Apple Pie)
What do you get when you combine two of my personal favourite singers from the Mane 6, Throw in a catchy beat and some surprisingly good vocals from a little sister and a wise old granny? You get this absolute peach...I mean Apple of a song.
First of all, I adore the country style songs that My Little Pony does because I feel that they are so close to the original classic country songs that I used to listen to and they always provide that fun toe tapping music that I just can not ignore.
Secondly, You got both Pinkie Pie and Applejack singing together and as I mentioned I think they are probably the best two vocal ponies of the mane 6 and this song shows fans why I believe this.
Combine this with the animation from the dance routine to the reflections in the river of both Pinkie and Granny just go to show you just how talented the artists were on the episode.
You’ll Play Your Part
Season 4, Episode 25 (Twilights Kingdom- Part 1)
I had to include this song because I felt it was the first time Luna and Celestia were able to properly show their singing talents whilst it was a wonderful return hearing Cadance sing once again.
Now I will admit that this song could have been so much better if they had tried and I am sure most would be like “Surely if its not perfect it shouldn’t be on the list” but you would be wrong because just listen to it and tell me honestly even if you know it could have been better that it was not incredible as it is.
It was a song that probably hit a cord with some of us who have younger siblings who are eager to just make it on their own but as the older sibling we have to be there to say “Hey Now Just be patient your time will come” but we know that time is coming soon so we can’t wrap them up to keep them safe we can only guide them towards the right road before we have to wave them off on their own journey.
Under Our Spell
Equestria Girls 2: Rainbow Rocks
They got the Music that makes you move it, Got the Song that makes you lose it - How this song is often overlooked for the finale song "Welcome to the Show" is beyond me.
I personally find this song to have the better lyrics, catchier music and all round the better performance from the Dazzlings - It is the kind of song you if you secretly being a brony that you could download to your Ipod and listen to in public and even have a little dance to if you are up to it.
The Pony I Want To Be
Season 5, Episode 18 (Crusaders of the Lost Mark)
When was the last time a song managed to take someone so unpopular and in just 2 minutes allow you to get to know them to the point you felt something for them and you began to like them?
Well Somehow Diamond Tiara did just that with this Song all about hating the fact that because of her mother attitude and influence she became judgemental and thought she was better than everyone else when all she wanted was to break away from her mothers shadow and be her own Foal.
This song does break grounds for learning about why some kids bully others at school - Just the idea of a parent making them feel they are superior to the other children can make them go to school and assert that dominance even if it is not necessary.
The Magic Inside
Season 5, Episode 24 (The Mane Attraction)
Whilst alot of people were in awe of “The Spectacle” I was more drawn to this song and for good reason - I mean listen to it and tell me you don’t feel the passion and emotion that the singer for this song was trying to portray to us, the audience.
But it is alot more than that, it is a song all about accepting who you are and not being afraid nor ashamed of what you want to do or what you love to do…in a way this song is almost dedicated to the Brony community who may feel with all the judgement from the outside world against the idea of older people (both male and female) enjoying “a girls cartoon show” that it is ok to like what you like and its not up to the others to judge you for what you enjoy.
I would honestly say hand on heart that this is one of the best song in the entire show but also the most underrated because so many look at The Spectacle as the hit song of this season but don’t take my word for it - you listen to the song and tell me that it is not something special.
So you have Listen to 9 of my favourite Songs from My Little Pony but I am sure you are wanting to know the final one right? The one that I proclaimed would be my number 1 if I had made this a ‘Top 10 List’ but I am sure the most eagle eyed of you may have already guessed what is coming right?
Bronies Everywhere I give to you MY Number 1 Song in all of My Little Pony…
Smile, Smile, Smile
Season 2, Episode 18 (A Friend in Deed)
This Song was incredible there is no denying it, Firstly it gave the fans of the show an inside look inside Pinkie Pie and her character as a whole so that you could grow to love and appreciate her even more.
Then you got the singing which made alot of fans even after all of the singing she had done in previous episodes to take off their fictional glasses and be like “My God, She can actually sing well”.
Finally you got the placement of the song, I will admit that the episode that had this song, yes the song I am calling the best in the entire show ABSOLUTELY SUCKED and was the worst episode ever in my opinion because it made Pinkie Pie to be an annoying, self centered and disrespectful to other feelings which if you knew her character couldn’t be further from the truth…But because of this song being in that Episode you were given a big reminder of that and because of that it saved Pinkie Pie from being made into an annoying character.
it is also probably one of the few songs in the series that felt like a proper song - it had verses, choruses and its own music video and because of all of that that is why Smile is my Number 1 song.
Well What did you think of my list? Do you like it? Do you agree with my views? do you believe I left out better songs? Let me know in the comment section below or you can hit me up at @SoulHarmonyMLP on twitter to give me your views personally.
Until Next Time - Blessings from Equestria and Good Bye!!
