Think "You'll play your part" was not only a good song but meaningful?

[Azureth 687]

It really is one of my favorite songs in the show. But not only is it good in and of itself, it has many great meanings behind it, IMO. First great thing was Twilight being able to have so much support from the other Princess;. Then it helping her with what she was struggling with being a Princess but not knowing her role. But even beyond that I think in a way it can also apply to others. While chances are I very much doubt any of us are struggling being new Princes/Princesses or anything of that caliber, I think most of us do struggle with finding out what our place and role is. 

 

When I listen to the song it has so much meaning. I think one part that is especially poignant is when Celestia says: 

 

"Your destiny's uncertain, and that's sometimes hard to take. But it will become much clearer, with every new choice you make".

 

I have certainly felt the same in my life. Never knowing what I am supposed to do, where I should be, what my life is supposed to be. But I have made lots of choices, and while good and bad it has helped me to realize more what I am, and just what I should do. 

 

I just find it a good song for so many different reasons, not least of which is the message.

I agree.  I think the song has a great message and is very meaningful.  It fit well into the story, too.  But as the actual music goes?  A little meh.  To be honest, it was one of the more forgettable songs for me.

I really enjoy this song a lot and this is a really good point about what it means.

[Rarity Is Best Pony 634]

This song has one of the more powerful meanings and I really love that they decided to do with it what they did. It also helps that I can totally relate to this song on a personal level.

I had mixed feelings, as although I liked the sentiment* I didn't think the song was that good^. That's personal taste, but I also thought that the whole 'I don't know what I'm supposed to do' issue was more one for the CMC (at least at the time of this song) and it seemed a bit out of place for Twilight. 

 

*apart from the princess stuff, which is a bit hard to identify with

 

^(I think that 'Crusader' did it better)
