My Equestria [acoustic / vocal ballad]

For some reason, for about the past month or so... I've been feeling... "Homesick"... ...for Equestria....  O.o

 

I can't really explain it... but that doesn't make the feelings any less real.

 

So, when I heard "Isle of Inisfree," a Celtic song about a displaced soul longing for their home... I knew just had to rewrite it to match how I was feeling.

 

If you've ever felt this too... I hope this song makes the longing a little easier knowing that there are others who feel it as well....

 

 

My Equestria

 

I've met some folks who say that I'm a dreamer,
And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say,
But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer,
When all the things she loves are far away.
And precious things are dreams unto an exile.
They bring her home to a land so magical
And in her heart she's once again pony,
In her dear lovely home, Equestria.

When this world's moon rises beyond the rooftops,
Of this great city, with wonders near and far,
I scarcely feel the bright lights or the turmoil...
I'm home again in my Equestria.

I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys,
And find a peace no other land would know.
I hear the birds make music fit for angels,
And watch the rivers laughing as they flow.
And back to Ponyville my hooves they take me,
My dear old home and tenderly behold,
Ponies I love around the village, gathered.
And I relive their friendships young and old.

But dreams don't last
Though friends are not forgotten
And soon I'm back to harsh reality.
But even if they paved the roads with gold here,
I still would choose my dear Equestria.

This is a song that I wouldn't mind orchestrating for. I can add the orchestra, if you want me to. I'd just need the vocal and flute stems, send me a message if you're interested.

Ooooch, thank you so very much Leafon! <3 <3 <3

 

(It was just something I wrote that was kind-of personal... It's really special that it touches others too. <3 )

Dat voice...

 

 

 

This is quite fantastic, your voice kind of reminds me of a lot of 60's music for some reason. (in the best possible way)

Oooch, thank you so very much!  You are so verra sweet!

 

The original song, "Isle of Inisfree" was written back in 1950, probably from the way a lot of people felt after being displaced and missing their homes after WWII....   It came up on shuffle the other week, the first time since I've had some really vivid dreams of Equestria and it suddenly had a whole new meaning.  ;_;
