 Maressey - The Flutterdash Album

“I hope you enjoy the second of hopefully 4 Maressey albums. As you should know Maressey is a Ponified Tribute to the Music of The Smiths. Without them creating the original tracks this tribute or the music contained would not be possible.  Their exploration of loneliness, sex, gender, love, and loss I felt could be translated into our own fimfiction of these characters and comment on ourselves.  We did try to do something a bit different with this tribute and that is to find an MLP theme in each album (within this story of Rarijack and Flutterdash) and the next, with albums that tell an interwoven storyline in each.

I have to thank quite a few people who have made an idea 3+ years ago into a realized 20+ person group project. Thanks to the wonderful people below who have helped throughout this project. They are all such incredibly talented and wonderful musicians and they have made this project all possible. I hope that people continue to support this project and those many musicians and artists involved.”~Freewave

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!

This is the final song from the Rarijack album….Rarity is overcome by the difficulties of her new life in Manehattan while assisting on the fashion designs for a doomed wedding party. After a long day, she tries to sleep, but keeps dreaming of her family and the past. Things go from bad to worse after she finally opens a letter from AJ, informing her of the formal end to their relationship. Her life comes crashing down around her, as she realizes she now has lost everything in the pursuit of her career.  It’s also originally a classic by The Smiths.

Vocals for this track are by the amazing Metal Mare. Also known as the Warbalist’s wife, her performance just blew me away and she brought such a great closer to this part of the project.  The Warbalist did a wonderful and time consuming job of assembling all the music for this track w/o the help of any midi tracks. Thanks so much for all the work done on this closer.
Both are on this channel https://www.youtube.com/user/warbalist/

Maressey - Manehattan

A dream opportunity to work in Manehattan finally comes Rarity’s way as she has always hoped for.  Her friends and marefriend go to the train station to help send her off for what they assume is a temporary job. She says she’ll be back eventually and that she’ll make the long distance relationship work…but is it really that truthful? This is the beginning of the end of the Rarijack album, out now.

Jokeblue did all the musical elements of this track. Vocals, loads of real guitar, drums, and bass. His channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/user/JeremyJokeblue/

I am Freewave who threw in a few samples and did the mixing and mastering of this track.  I’m here https://www.youtube.com/user/thefreewave
