Hey guys! This song is very near and dear to my heart. This and Autumn are the first two pony songs that I truly loved when I joined the fandom back in the day, and I can't tell you how excited I've been to see Jackle App making more music recently. I would have covered this song after hearing it for the first time, but I had absolutely no idea how music worked aside from the silly little songs I would scribble in my notebook. I like to think I've come a long way since then, but who knows, really.

Some of you (probably the same ones who read the description) are wondering why I used so much pitch correction, seeing as I never use pitch correction for anything. Is this going to be a thing now? No. Not really. It went with the style here and it was fun learning how to use Melodyne, but I don't plan on using it very much if at all in most of my music. I've tried to recreate this song's instrumental as authentically as possible. It was difficult because I've never tried to do that with anything before and it was all done by ear. Nevertheless, I think it turned out okay, and it was an absolute delight revisiting the sounds that I fell in love with in the first place. I hope you like the results as much as I enjoyed the process.

I love you guys!

Lyrics (if you don't already know them):

Plucking strings and broken wings
are the things that defined my Ponyville Summer
When Nice Nurse Mare, from urgent care
put my wings in slings oh gosh what a bummer
(But I'll abscond)
But you wouldn't care when you're in the care of
(Where I'll have fun)
When you're in the care of Lyra and Bon Bon

I looked all day, for a place to stay
But "No Vacancy" signs went on for miles
They saw my cast, they didn't even ask
they took me right in to stay for a while
(But I don't mind)
You wouldn't ask why when you were as desperate as I
(Out of the sun)
You don't ask why when it's Lyra and Bon Bon

I watched them together while under the weather
and couldn't believe my eyes
two ponies like this who share every kiss like they'll share the rest of
their lives
It made me blue and a little bit green
that they were flushed red with love
I'm too yellow to tell them that I'm leaving today
under the orange sunset up above

(Ooooooh)

Plucking strings and broken wings
are the things that defined my Ponyville summer...
