Maressey - What Difference Does It Make                                      

Celestia aims to reform the newly freed Discord with the help of the patient Fluttershy. However, things do not turn out as well as she planned. He quickly takes advantage of their friendship, tricking her to do things she wouldn’t normally do, and poisoning her relationship with the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. As always it’s originally a classic track by The Smiths

One evening after Rainbow Dash pries into the source of Fluttershy’s continued shyness, she finally reveals the truth. Shortly before the two eventually became friends in flight camp she suffered from weeks of abuse from the other young pegasi and their tyrant headmaster. That childhood trauma has affected her ever since.  It’s also a ponified cover of a classic track by The Smiths.

A massive thanks to Starbreeis for taking on the vocals of this track. i thought she did a wonderful job on this track and she will be back on next week’s track for Fluttershy’s encounter with Discord.

Maressey - Still Ill

Dash is depressed, and quite bored of Ponyville. She has grand dreams that exist outside of this small town. With a town where nothing ever changes, and a relationship she now finds somewhat boring, she’s finding a pull to move on to bigger things and to let the past go. It’s also a ponified cover of a classic track by The Smiths.

A massive thanks to Francis Vace (Vaceslav) for taking on the vocals of this track. i thought he did an awesome job and is an integral part of the project.

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

Maressey - Colt Afraid 

Rarity and Applejack have a romantic evening planned, leaving Sweetie Belle to stay the evening at Button’s house. What the young ponies have built up in their minds is quickly and unexpectedly extinguished. The evening turns into an awkward disaster as they continually misinterpret what the other is thinking and feeling throughout the night.  This is also a ponified cover of The Smiths classic.

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 - Pretty Mares Make Graves        

                 

It’s cider season and Big Mac has yet another awkward encounter with an eager Cheerilee. As is usual with most of the mares in Ponyville he is aggressively (and on this night drunkenly) hit on, despite the fact he has no interest in the company of mares. This is also a ponified cover of The Smiths classic.

Maressey - Last Night I Dreamt That Somepony Loved Me

This is the second track of the upcoming Flutterdash album. Alone in the dark, Scootaloo is again revisited by all the problems of her life. Orphaned, crippled, and utterly lost; Will she ever realize her dreams that are denied her and find the love she needs? This is the fourteenth track from the Maressey project, a ponified cover of The Smiths classic.

[Maressey Project Blog]

As Braeburn and Big Mac head back to Appleloosa, Rarity and Applejack continue to squabble at the Apple ranch. Underneath their years of conflict lies a hidden longing that boils to the surface. Rarity is the first to let her feelings be known and Applejack soon reveals they are mutual. What they must soon deal with are the repercussions; will their families and friends understand their choice when the former antagonists become lovers? This is another song/chapter from the upcoming Rarijack album. It’s also originally a Smiths classic track.
