The humbling position of having to submit your work to an anonymous panel who is flooded with a multitude of submissions is a difficult thing. While we often blame the judges for our problems, we so rarely ask, have we as creators done enough to really merit any eventual success we ask for?

Not only vocals but all the instruments on this track were by Andante Skie https://www.youtube.com/user/AndanteSkie

Mixing by Maressey project leader Freewave

Rainbow Dash leaves for Cloudsdale to finally join the Wonderbolts, abandoning Fluttershy, Scootaloo, and her friends to pursue her lifelong dream. Scootaloo in desperation chases after her, but eventually finds herself lost and housed in a charity hostel in Cloudsdale. She is now a very long way from where she ever intended to be.

Andante Skie did the great vocals for this track. Thanks for helping on this track and being such a great friend!

 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!

Things have taken a turn for the worse between Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. After missing a dinner date, Dash shows up the next day reeking of sweat and cider. She then tells a constantly evolving story of fighting off an army of attackers. How can their relationship prevail when she can’t tell her marefriend the honest truth?  This is also a ponified cover of The Smiths classic.

Maressey - Panic (Hang the Dj)

Dubstep invades Ponyville and many ponies have just had their fill of it and are furious by their sleepless nights and vibrating buildings. Applejack in particular says enough is enough and burns down the local danceclub right outside her farm early one morning. She accidentally sets off a musical backlash that affects all corners of Equestria with dj’s fleeing for their lives as mobs of ponies protest against EDM. This track is of course a ponified version of The Smiths classic track. Enjoy.

Besides a visit from Maude I’m not sure I’ve sure we will see any traces of Pinkie’s family and if it’s miserable as she indicated she’s likely not going back home. This is a song about missing and yet continuing to avoid a painful childhood past. It’s also a Smiths classic b-side.

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.
