Berry Punch’s death by the bottle shows that even places like Ponyville often have neighbor avoiding neighbor. Are humans and ponies really that different?

Equestria Daily: “A new track from Maressey, I Want The One I Can’t Have features vocals from Zatslol and a strong instrumental from Johnny Mare. Whilst this kind of thing is always a bit of a touchy subject, I feel like this track approaches the subject matter pretty tastefully and with great production value, Zatslol’s vocals especially shine strongly in this track. Make sure to check it out”

“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
Discord has been freed of his prison by neutralizing the elements of Harmony through Fluttershy’s failure to befriend him. He vows to begin his reign of chaos anew and with the help of other villains he seeks out. However, this time he might not even need to lift a finger for things to fall into place. As always it’s originally a classic track by The Smiths
A massive thanks to long time contributer Zatslol for taking on the vocals of this track. He’s been one of the vocal highlights of the project and been one of the most supportive of it.

Music is by me. Freewave :) Everything came together nicely on this one.

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.
Coco Pommel has a passion for fashion but her time in Manehattan has been anything but what she dreamed it would be. Long hours of making dresses from other’s patterns, an abusive boss, and no one around to look out for her, is there any reason she shouldn’t be a bit sad in the big city? This is also a ponifed cover of The Smiths classic track.
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.
I just got a listen to Zatslol’s Coco Pommel track “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now” and it’s fabulous. Can’t wait for it to see the light after a little mixing and mastering. Wooot!
Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now (Coco Pommel) by Adlynh
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.
Maressey - Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want
Twilight’s been through a lot through four seasons and the finale brought up how important it is to have a purpose and goals you personally want to see happen. Not to stand around and have things happen to you but to choose your own destiny. This is our first Maressey track, a group project we’ve been very excited to see fulfilled as well after a few years of planning. It’s our dream to get people interested in mixing the power of The Smiths songs within the characters of the MLP universe. We hope you enjoy this starting point and tune in for new weekly songs from an array of brony musicians taking part in tackling an amazing catalog of songs. Whether you’re currently a Smiths fan or not (or an MLP fan or not) we hope to tune you in to one of the best songwriting groups in music through our covers/parodies/tribute and do our part in merging and honoring 2 fandoms simultaneously.
"Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want" is of course originally performed by The Smiths. It was released as the B-side of "William, It Was Really Nothing" in 1984 and later featured on the compilation albums Hatful of Hollow and Louder Than Bombs. You can get the original tracks here https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/the-smiths/id829538 This is a ponified cover track of their original.
