The Spark

about

I've been making brony music for almost 3 years now and so i wanted to re-examine why i do so and why many people also feel a spark of creativity from this show. I won't be doing this forever but I still have inspiration enough to keep going at this point and songs and albums I'd like to complete. While some may scoff at why we feel inspired about 6 female cartoon characters but we have really strong symbols and characteristic behind each one. There's a reason why we still love this show and these characters; it's because they're all pieces of who we'd like to ideally be. Hopefully we come out of this fandom better people then before we started.

lyrics

When i think of the years gone by
and all the tears they helped me cry
When people stop and wonder why
what made it all come around

These characters on a tv screen
they're all little pieces of me
United there's serenity
when I need to get away
----------------------
The element of generosity
helped find a beautiful part of me
weaving together so many tapestries
which i handmade myself

The element of loyalty
is there inside of you and me
uniting friends from across the sea
telling me I need to love myself

It's the spark, that still burns
yes the spark, that still burns

The element of honesty
opened up the truth inside of me
bravery and working hard
time for family in the yard

The element of kindness
helped me overcome such shyness
taught me to continue helping out
and not sit and wallow in my doubts

the spark, still burns
yes the spark, still burns

And as I worry that it fades away
As I count down all these days
Worried this spark that was a flame
has begun to die out

I've gotten far too old
So many stories left untold
Worried that my heart's gone cold
and we're running out of time

But the spark, still burns
Yes the spark, still burns

The element of laughter
it's what i had sought after
to help rid me of the pessimist
and free the optimist below

The element of magic does unite
helps erase the dark into the light
never faulters to do what's right
and helps unite them all

It's the spark, still burns
yes the spark, it still burns

When i think of the years gone by
and all the tears they helped me cry
When people stop and wonder why
what made us come around

These characters on a tv screen
they're all little pieces of me
united there's serenity
And I no longer feel alone

the spark still burns
yes the spark still burns

I'm an older brony musician who started making music in 2011. I have made a large collection of varied MLP music from many different genres and influences. I keep my prices cheap so that you may enjoy the music. ;)

I've add my pre-pony music of thescientist to bandcamp now. A bit more amateur, experimental, and concept based. It's here warts and all. ... more
