【Music】Prom Night Equestria, 1988 (ft. Namii)

Description

Late last night, I started working on this song as somewhat of a joke ... but it turned into something so much more. There's so much passion and emotion we've put into this song.

Middle school was one of the most horrifying times of my life. It was a time when I had no friends and it was a time where I couldn't adjust to the newfound adolescence becoming me. I won't go to explain the extent of my depression from back then, but it consumed my life whole. This song comes from a 12 year old me feeling emotionally and stranded in corner of a school auditorium, finding no courage to dance with others. This song comes from a place in my heart that has needed to sing for nearly 8 years.

I feel like, for the longest time, I hadn't been able to express any form of emotion at all. I feel like I had been holding my breath and looking over my shoulder every waking hour of the day. But the more I wrote this song, the more I felt the ultimate catharsis unfold. It was the summer of 2012 that I came back to school, afraid to allow myself to be different - I had joined the MLP fandom and everyone in my class knew about it. I couldn't stand the thought of being put down and bullied anymore than I always, but I found myself among people who accepted me for who I was for once. I learned then, that it's being different that makes us who we are, and not trying to be someone or something you're not.

That's the moment I felt like I wasn't a stranger anymore.

After making this song, I feel like .. I can feel again. I feel like I can express myself openly once more. I feel like things can be okay. In the end, I think I've written this anthem to give that 12 year old me a place to finally rest in my heart - and my soul finally feels assured.

This song was made, from start to finish, in 4 hours. The last version of the song was exported at 12:34am.

Lyrics:

Spending all the autumn nights
Dancing with you till morning
The world is moving faster than
I knew before we touched

And I'm in love with you again
Like never before
With everypony watching now
Where will we go

And I don't wanna feel so different
Anymore, anymore
Right now it's just you and me
in all of Equestria

Will they find out about us
Or will they laugh us through
We hope to hope to fly
Hope the winds will carry instead

And I don't wanna feel so different
Anymore, anymore
And I just wanna feel you baby
Ooh

And I just wanna feel your love
I just wanna feel your love

Please just pull me close to you
The night's still young
Is it too early to think
About the days to come

And I don't want you to feel
so strange anymore
You're perfect the way you are
We're perfect the way we are

And I don't wanna feel so different
Anymore, anymore
Right now it's just you and me
in all of Equestria

Will they find out about us
Or will they laugh us through
We hope to hope to fly
Hope the winds will carry instead

And I don't wanna feel so different
Anymore, anymore
And I just wanna feel you baby
Ooh

And I just wanna feel your love
I just wanna feel your love

My heart is beating
In a way it hasn't since
I saw you last, and held you close
Please don't leave my side

And I
Could never live without you
Prom Night
Could never forget

Let's forget the world tonight
Nothing but you and I
The way you make me feel
I could never explain it right
