Here's a song for you that 4EverfreeBrony wrote while in Argentina. He recorded a demo, and sent us piano, then we mixed it with Relative1Pitch's violin (tuned to sound like a cello) and Emily Jones's vocals (thanks to MandoPony for mixing the vocals!). I have no doubt that he will release an updated version when he returns, but this one is good enough to share!

This plays along the same theme as Chant of Immortality. Twilight is thinking about immortality and she's hoping that it's perhaps not as bleak as she's worried it will be.

So here's to hoping.

Emily last sang on a song for 4EFB on the very popular Still on The Moon (with Faux Synder), the ukulele driven teaser for the Pink side of the Moon album. This song continues to be one of the most popular songs 4EFB has ever released, and Emily's vocals are a big part of why.

Special thanks to Relative1Pitch who created the cello part from thin air. Garrison said "Send the demo to him and ask him if he can create something that sounds like a cello." We did, and what he created was magic. R1P has appeared on stage at Everfree Nw and Musiquestria with 4EFB, and he and his amazing violin has appeared on numerous 4EFB songs: Without Me, Birdsong, Chant of Mirth, Emerald Eyes, Thought I'd Let You Know, and my favorite, Chasing Fate.

Lyrics:

(v1)
I saved a row even though
I know it won't be taken
I thought at first you'd never go
I was so mistaken
I was told
Life won't last forever
But I've gone beyond the marker

(chorus)
What's one to do
How's one to feel
Where's one to go
When their heart won't open?
So far away
Yet so nearby
Feels as if someone's still watching over me.

So here's to hoping.

(v2)
Now-a-days I pick and choose
My circumstances
I don't believe fate is up
For givin' second chances.
If I'm right
Time goes on forever
Feels like so much to remember.

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)
So here's to holding on to a little faith
Keepin' up with the present day
Standing well with the friends I made
Making sure that I don't lose my way

(repeat chorus)

So here's to hoping.

Hoping……
