This is the tail of the lonely brony, someone who wanted friendship but was to shy to attain it. Probably plenty of such people out there sadly. It’s also the second Maressey track and a ponified cover of the The Smiths original.
Credits: This is Zatslol’s second vocal appearance for us and he did the fantastic chorus guitar and part of the reverse reverbed “siren” guitar. https://www.youtube.com/user/zatslol
Andante Skie did the tremolo guitar throughout the track (sidechained to the 1/2 drums he also added).

And I Freewave did the rest of the stuff 1/2 drums, 2 basses, part of the siren guitar, additional instruments, and mixing. Was a lot of fun doing all the different parts for a track that has a load of complicated effects to replicate. No sampling done ;)

"How Soon Is Now?" is a song originally by the British alternative rock band The Smiths. It was originally a B-side of the 1984 single "William, It Was Really Nothing". "How Soon Is Now?" was subsequently featured on the compilation album Hatful of Hollow and on US, Canadian, Australian and Warner UK editions of the group’s second album Meat Is Murder (1985). It was belatedly released as a single in the UK in 1985.

Ok at some point I needed to think about what the Maressey album would look like and would it be just ONE? While the themes often change each week on the new release I was hoping we’d get to the character arcs where songs start telling stories of several ships, with each song telling a different chapter of that storyline over its course. The best place for this to happen is with the album releases so each album has a theme. Therefore I’ve proposed collecting the songs in 4 themed albums, with one for Rarijack, Flutterdash, Twiluna, and one a general bronies topics theme. Four just works for the amount of character themes involved and the progress so far on each. .
The number indicates song progress. 5 is a completed song, 4 has an instrumental and a vocal with it in the mixing stage. 3’s often have a far along instrumental but are needing a vocal or further instrument work. 2’s or lower are very much a wip instrumental draft or perhaps have nothing yet if lower. Any song that is crossed out could have been part of the album if someone took charge and made the song but is otherwise not likely going to be attempted to make it just due to time constraints. They are non essential to album completion so we are likely skipping them. Can’t make every Maressey song into a reality.
- This Charming Mare (Rarity’s Song) 5 Morte Mcadaver
- Braeburn It Was Really Nothing (the Braemac song) 4.7 Jeff Burgess

Third Album (Twiluna Theme, Includes small Pinkie Pie arc, Celestia, and Trixie) 9 songs. Twiluna arc is needing the most attention but could be rescued quickly with vocalist help on Luna and Twi’s parts.

- Back to the Old House (Pinkie’s Song) 5 Zatslol
- This Night Has Opened My Eyes (Maud’s Song) 3 (need f vocal)
Fourth Album (The Brony Album). This one is mainly about the fandom and from our pov. Likely may include some pony songs dealing with background characters that don’t fit well in the other 3 mane 6 album concepts. 10 songs
- How Soon is Now? (tale of a shy brony) 5 Zatslol
- Is It Really so Strange? (Bronycon Summer) 5 Morte Mcadaver
- I Want The One I Can’t Have (The R34 Song) 3.5 (need m vocal)

What do you say? Should we finish that fourth Maressey album finally? Maybe by December we’ll have the Twiluna album done….we’ll see but want it to happen. Sorry for the wait.
Adding an initial pun on the Pony Life with this track. Did we really end this long running series so we could do a Teen Titans wacky spinoff? Yikes.
This track has vocals by the amazing Faux Synder. Rest of the music by Freewave. The lyrics may be a bit old as we recorded it during the third season. Waddyoudo!? Based on the music by The Smiths of course.

Enjoy!
Once upon a time there was this nifty little project named Maressey. It got out 2 underground cool indie rock pony inspired tribute albums but promised one or two more. After a few weeks of listening to old wip tracks and with a promise of some summer free time and a breath of self confidence I’d love to see if we could complete the Twilogy. Technically there’s enough tracks for the initial thought of 4 albums but best to aim for a large third album if we can’t get to all of them!
A lot of tracks are done that need to be a part of this and those that aren’t have mostly completed instrumentals. But it would be a shame to have 70-80% of a third album done and just not complete it or release it. So rather then keep in retirement, I’d like to get ‘er DONE this summer! Calling out to all Maressey alumni and anyone else vocally interested and capable.
Maressey Project Assemble!

Scootaloo is infatuated with Rainbow Dash, wanting to spend every moment
with her idol. Rainbow Dash is bored of her bland relationship with
Fluttershy and appreciates the devout attention. The unbalanced and
unhealthy relationship is a hardship for the young pegasus. It’s clear
she cares so much more about Dash, but is not old enough, or ready, for a
companionship that she desperately wants (and is not getting).
Andante Skie did the great vocals for this track. Thanks for helping on this track and being such a great friend!
