Warning: Not my usual silly fare.

In-between working on my next big project, I oddly got inspired to ponify the classic Don McLean song "Vincent". I don't play many instruments, so I just nabbed a karaoke track online. I'm pretty glad with how my lyrics turned out, and while I know my timing and pitch and tone aren't always perfect, I'm fairly satisfied with the result.

Hopefully none of these artists object to their work being displayed here, I always love when artists borrow styles and make tribute pieces. I'd seen a few Van Gogh inspired MLP pieces, and wanted to find more to accompany the song. I have the one at the end on a shirt, and it's actually one of the things that inspired me to write this version.

Anyway, sorry it's been a while since I've put anything up, there should be some cool things on the horizon.

Lyrics:
Princess of the night,
Endless plain of whites and blues
Such astounding lights and hues
Reflecting back the beauty deep inside

Ponies drifting off
None alert to see your sights
Resting through your wondrous night
To wake and see your sister's golden sun

What could you have done?
Should you have disturbed their rest
With that crown of black upon your crest
And caused your subjects such distress
They could not notice, they were not aware
The sorrow in that mare

Princess of the night,
Stars that twinkle softly so
Chilling wind and falling snow
That catch the soft reflection from the moon

Very very soon,
They will see your masterpiece
All at once, your pain released
For all to look upon forever more

What was this all for?
Nightmares risen by your hate
Now the elements have sealed your fate
Nothing left to do but wait
They could not notice, they were not aware
The fear inside that mare

For they would not listen
So the hate grew from within
And when you tried to stop the day
Your sister banished you away
In hopes that she could purge you of your sin
But I could have told you, Luna
Equestria did not deserve
The leader that you've been

Princess of the sun,
Looking up a thousand years
See your subjects through your tears
But do they even know that she is gone?

Yet you raise the sun at dawn
Standing tall with coat of white
Silent weeping through the night
With dreams about the years that could have been

Now I think I've seen
The beauty that was there before
From those lonesome nights in days of yore
To stay alone forever more
They have not yet  seen you on your moon
Perhaps they'll notice soon
