Ah didn't want to spend mah life on a muddy ol' apple farm. Ah wanted t'live the sophisticated life - like mah Aunt and Uncle Orange."

What if Applejack never wanted to work on the farm? Her greatest ambitions are hindered by her family legacy and the symbol stamped on her flank. Her friends and family won't let her leave. She knows she can do better, if only she had the chance. And such is life.

Song used was "Sonny's Dream", composed by Ron Hynes and performed here by The Wonderful Grand Band. Is this song well-known outside of eastern Canada? I'm not sure, but I do know that everybody here knows it. My friends will kill me when they've found out I've ponyfied it.

Couldn't help it. The lyrics fit so amazingly well to Applejack's life.

I do not own any of the content used in this video.

LYRICS:

Sonny lives on a farm, on a wide open space
Where you can take off your sneakers and give up the race
And you can lay down your head by a sweet river bed
But Sonny always remembers what it was his Mama said, yeah, yeah

Sonny carries a load, though he's barely a man
There ain't all that to do, still he does what he can
And he watches the sea from a room by the stairs
And the waves keep on rollin'; they've done that for years

Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long, and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong

And it's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there
And he goes to the highway and he stands there and stares
And the mail comes at four, and the mailman is old
Oh, but he still dreams his dreams full of silver and gold

Sonny's dreams can't be real: they're just stories he's read
They're just stars in his eyes, they're just dreams in his head
And he's hungry inside for that wide world outside
And I know I can't hold him, though I've tried and I've tried and I've tried

Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long, and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong (x2
