 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

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

A massive thanks to Starbreeis for taking on the vocals of this track. i thought she did a wonderful job on this track and several others. She’s fabulous!

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.

Saw this and new it was an exact fit of what i wanted to convey (an attack on the horrors of bullying and corporal punishment)

You can get the original Smiths track on their second album Meat is Murder.  https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/the-smiths/

This is the first track of a several song Flutterdash ship arc. Taking place during the Hurricane Fluttershy episode, this is from Dash’s pov (Evdog) as she expresses not just her need for her help but also for something much more. Every relationship starts with a spark but it only truly begins with a question and a reply of “yes”. This is the fifth track from the Maressey project, a ponified cover of The Smiths classic “Ask”.
