Still coming back to this. Tonight in particular, tears flowed again. Every single BP song in existence gets me feeling powerful stuff. Also i don't recommend rereading the last chapter when you are not feeling ok, its awful. Hugs <3
@Tariko
Such a melodic and beautiful song, and that's so nice that it's inspired by literature and you did it with the wonderful L.M. Always a pleasure when you upload there's a reason you're one of the very few youtubers I get very excited about seeing a new notification for! :)
@CalebTheGeniusSpy
Yay! Fritzy's still alive and kickin!' I really enjoy this track ^_^ Great beat and great transitions between the slower and faster portions of the song. Also, I would not object to a cover of "Shelter" if that's a project that's still on the table for you. In fact, I would be very much in favor of it!
@Dark_Tale_2077
Good to see an old classic getting some love. Still one of my favorite fanfics of all time.
@Osoch
I don't know if you will ever read this, but I remember i commented on this the first time i heard it. You know, the usual: "Amazing work". Then i found out this was inspired by a fanfic. Then i found more music about it. Then i read the story. Then i cried. Then i made a song about it too. What you created here is an amazing piece, but only know it does truly hit home. Thanks for opening my eyes to such an experience ^u^
@Kmn483
Holy shit, I'm reading Background pony right now! Thank you Fritzy for this amazing accompanying piece!
@devilslamp
This song made me cry.
@PinkieRose
Breathtaking! Amazing instrumental and vocals and art/visuals ^_^ Well done, everyone c:
@ButNotTonight
Alright this one is amazing, the chorus gets me super pumped, the production is top notch, and now I can't get the vocal melody out of my head. Thanks for the heads up!
@bernadettavarley
I never read the fanfic, never really had an interest to until this song. I mean, I know I say this with every song of yours and many others but it almost fits my life to a 'T'. lol I actually just got back from a 8 month hiatus from all almost all socialization and only 3 people out of the like 30 I knew actually really noticed I was gone or even seemed to care, it was actually really hurtful, so feeling like a background pony is something me and many others can relate to. I read my first MLP fanfic yesterday, it was a short, sad but good and sweet one that taught me a few things, maybe I'll continue reading a few more, could be therapeutic. lol Most of your music, Fritzy, is often more bubbly uplifting or dreamy stuff, but recently your stuff's been hitting some more heavy topics, and I have to say I'm a bit glad because you seem to do it in a very healthy light, ever sense SlyphStorm left the pony music scene has gotten a lot more shallow, I mean 4EFB coming back really knocked the fandom back on track(Like a LOT) but there's only so much one guy can fix, that being said he's done more than I could ever hope to do. lol But yeah, point being is that you and a few others are really keeping the fandom going, even if us bronies are shrinking you and the others are keeping it going, not only are you keeping the fandom going though, but you're also keeping us going. Please never stop doing what you do best and what you love to do.
@Beavcoon
It really is so beautiful. Especially love the opening and the verse at 2:38 Also holy crap I just realized your the same guy who did the cover for 4everfreebrony's Giggles and Gumdrops back in 2014. Man I loved that song back in high school, it was one of the first videos I ever liked. Weird how life circles back on us sometimes, isn't it.
@Solus860
Fucking gold holy shit. This song is great. I loved that fic when I first read it. I'm glad you got around to reading it, it deserves all the readers it can get.
@ピカリFritzyBeat
Before I inevitably forget (lol, relevance) I want to give a huge shout-out to all the other musicians in the fandom who've created music inspired by Background Pony. And The Rainfall, Ponky Piano, Belgerum, Neighsayer, ClaviSound, Derpidety, Rarity Advocate, y'all were a huge inspirational force behind this song and I don't think I would have even thought of writing this if you guys hadn't done it first~ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPs8Q7_q3JM4RlmjDrxi0P1xRHKIvjTg8 Cheers <3
@erevender1628
Fallout Equestria was my favorite fanfiction... Until I read Background Pony in 2014. In 2019 I like them both. =) Strange thing time...
@Osoch
Hey, amazing work!
@psychomotorboat1387
It's my all time favorite story as well. Nothing ever connected with me so deeply. Imagine my surprise when I find out that my favorite horse musician puts out an awesome song for it, somewhat inspired by Shelter, one of my favorite songs. You've made my year! Also, you might want the check out some of SS&E's recent blogs (2012: The Lemuracolypse - Part Five: Building the Nocturne, and Part Six: Foreground Lemur) – he explains how he crafted the story (spoilers). Last thing – check out the background pony comic by dream0rdie - it's a third of the first chapter and really special! Thanks Fritzy! Thanks L.M.! Amazing work!
@nathanpehrson3930
Thanks Fritzy! I also just finished reading Background Pony. If you had told me a two years ago that a My Little Pony fanfiction would completely change my view of the human experience I wouldn't have believed you. I can't thank creators like you and SS&E enough. Your making a difference Fritzy don't forget it. Sends a hug your way Signed One life changed
@Matthew-bd4xs
The song honestly it puts me in the state of stance for how the world will always be, others holding out on you, than rather letting you live a peaceful life, with how they leave you alone to be, what you've learned is what you have, and you ask yourself if you're truly ok with your life on your own, or if help was your true need and passion in life, it's essentially describing the surreal feeling of you never knowing what you're going to miss, until its gone, and can never be returned, and you having to be ok with it, and complete your own goals to what you want in life, on your own.
@daspacepony
Original songs like this just make me so alive~ <3
