about
So this first and foremost is a ponified cover of R.E.M.'s - Man on the Moon, which is a classic song on its own. While having a year w/o ponies was rough there have been amazing developments in the comics but not a whole lot of fan music to reflect those adventures. So this song loosely chronicles the plotlines of #5-8 but also examines skepticism in the fandom. If we examine MLP too closely under the microscope or presume that it's drying out we'll end up damaging the very thing we hopefully still love.
