about

Me and C12 had such a grand ol' time with Brew - The Prequel that he asked me to do a song for his album. It was a slower pace than I was used to... but you know what? Challenge accepted. Here's an excerpt from the Youtube Page:

"This song tells a story about Rainbow Dash, the Ex-Wonderbolt, far past her prime, recalling her past glories and relating how she managed to cope with the accident that put her out of commission."

lyrics

These memories I hold in my mind
Are a figment of time painted by a pigment of lies
And by this, I mean I can't exactly call them precise
But through a rose colored lens, all the pictures are nice,
I mean it. What I remember from a time long ago
Is when I wore the uniform, I had stolen the show,
I was a bolt of wonder. I stunned all the colts
I brought the cold stone thunder. I was a Wonderbolt,
And I, in the blink of an eye, could shatter sound,
From miles in the sky, I could graze the flat of the ground
And then, you couldn't hear the sound of my wings
Because the sonic boom I pounded only left you with rings
And it brings a tear to my eye, that move became legend
It was the source of my pride, center of attention,
And I mentioned it every minute, every chance I could do it
Until the moment that I couldn't; was the moment I blew it

It was the fall in September, cause the leaves had been run,
It was the fall I can remember, cause it ended my run
As a member of the Wonderbolts, like setting the sun,
Just like the end of the day, it was the end of the fun
I didn't - have it within me to summon the boom
And I was stuck, like Luna's 1000 years up on the moon
It was the only thing I really had in life to define me
And with it gone, I was lost so bad my friends couldn't find me
Inside me I felt I was dying, cause I thrived on attention
And then it went the other way, because I strived on dissension
The tension I felt, eventually dissolved into apathy
Rapidly unhappy and devolving me to a tragedy,
What had happened to me? Cause in the sky, I was the ruler,
I had a fan club, making me 20 percent cooler,
But when I lost the sonic rainboom, I could never go back
Like in a hospital, when your lifeline, goes 10 seconds - flat

So what? You think that I'm dead?
You think the life I chose, I was in way over my head?
You think that after falling down from grace I hid in my bed,
A stack of Daring Do novels I was reading instead?
Yeah it's true, I hid away in the stories,
Became an egghead in my darkest hour, shamed of my glories
And entertained myself with anecodotes, adventures and quests
About a pony who only gave her absolute best
And made an absolute mess of the foes that she encountered,
And then I noticed something was strange, something about her
Like she had all this hidden strength, like a power bounded around her
It was the fact she never gave up, made me never doubt her
And these stories were so familiar - they were stories of me,
And Twilight slipped them in the pages, hoping that I would see
In that the hero in the story, was as plain as can be
And so I did the Daring thing, and I dared to be me.
