Pony Love

listen >>
All I ever wanted, to be closer... to feeling pony love.

After finally watching it, I'm delighted by the newest generation of My Little Pony. The soundtrack has some excellent entries, and if you were to just listen to the songs, you'd imagine the show is filled with incredible melodrama.

This song is played as a good joke, but I always imagine it playing over some bittersweet climax with dramatic sacrifice and a grandiose, anime level metaphor for unity and friendship.

SNAXXX

A collection of quick beats dosed with sensual R&B. This sort of sample heavy, jazzy lo-fi music is very comfortable to my internet-culture sensibilities, as a former lo-fi hip-hop head.

The singing consistently kills it, but I would really like to point to Hoursafter Intelude for its creativity, talented singing and atmosphere. It's impeccable jazz dive music, and this sort of tone is the highlight of the album for me.

TELEPATHIC HUMANS

come along... i dont mind if you dont mind

This is one of my favorite albums ever. I found it by random chance on soundcloud, which I never visit. It seems the titular song is quite popular but the others remain unheard, despite each being phenomenal.

There's a care-free, youthful tone across the whole album that makes it feel dramatic and energizing, like a reckless but pure fight for a naive happy ending that ends with a bittersweet life lesson. I can so easily imagine somber scenes, impossible combat or moments of triumph perfectly directed by each song.

I have always dreamed of scoring a heavily metaphorical and action-rich tokusatsu ttrpg campaign to these songs... I look forward to being a skilled enough GM that I can make that story real.

WOLF

the moon now working and the stars align, I stay golden, yall thought i was out my mind

This album has been in my life since it came out, when I was a young man.

The stories of each song, and the seriousness in Tyler's voice spoke well to me. The tragedies of domestic abuse, failing relationships or getting too deep in the drug trade are shown so beautifully and personally here. The amount of sadness and anger, back and forth, paint a great picture of the mind of a troubled young man grappling with life...

Without a doubt, this album played a huge part in shaping my taste in drama and stories, with its emphasis on internal conflict and focus on very personal details.

"Truly there would be reason to go mad were it not for music."

Although not all music is heartfelt, there is no bad music. How could I tell someone who has felt moved by music that they were wrong? What I might dislike in music reflects only my own expectations, and it's impossible to find a song that hasn't affected someones life positively, somehow. For this reason, there is nothing bad to say about music.
