Huh, wow. I guess I had it in me after all. Another song finished! Wow. The last video was posted a week ago... I guess I'm getting pretty active, aren't I?

Anyways, yes! I decided to do something happy happy, but with pianos in it. And drums. And bass. And that's it. So I guess it's a Drum 'n Bass 'n Piano song. So I took the background music when the Cutie Mark Crusaders went out crusadin', and see where I went with it!  Initially, ACRaceBest asked me to do a "CMC theme music" for a video of his, and boy am I glad he asked me: this song was VERY fun to make. I really wasn't expecting three instruments to sound so... nice together. I was contemplating whether to put a guitar in here, but I decided against that~ Maybe some other day...

Right, another thing. Since this was meant to be for the background music of Race's video, I tried to tone down on the "OH LOOK AT ME I'M THE MELODY" and other spotlight-stealing stuff. It was interesting trying to make the song change and vary yet not particularly stealing the attention. Also, you might notice that this song has a kind of cyclical structure. Well, mighty sharp perception of yours! Yes, this song is meant to loop, and that's why the song tapers off back to the beginning. So yeah, if anyone wants to, I guess I could do an extended version of this song. It's great to just put in the background and listen to while doing other things. Maybe you can even pretend you're trying to find your cutie mark!

Q: Hey man, that art. Like... uh... yeah. You drew it yourself, didn't you...?

Q: So yeah man, do you have a link to the art?
A: ... I didn't expect people to want it, but okay. Here ya go, hope it finds good use with you.
