"Why Am I Here?"- My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic BGM
"Why Am I Here?" BGM from the episode "Twilight's Kingdom — Part 1" of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" (S04E25). --Overall Comments-- Wow, this episode—What a way to end the season! This episode pretty much blew anything we've seen in the past from My Little Pony out of the water. From a very intense villain, to a twisting story, to being beautifully storyboarded and animated, to absolutely God-like songs and score, to an all-out DBZ-style fighting sequence. So far, this is Friendship is Magic's crowning achievement. This season has been different in many ways, including it's overarching continuity. While the majority of the season had fairly individual and "slice of life" episodes, Meghan McCarthy and her team have managed to interweave an overarching plot into them, making almost seemingly unrelated episodes come together. It was fantastic watching all of the callbacks and references to events and characters from this season, and how those individual moments each contributed to something much larger. Not to mention the plot stretched much further back than even this season, including such past events such as Discord's reformation from season 3, and even Cerberus leaving his post in Tartarus back in season 2 as the reason for Tirek's escape. There's a lot more I could say about the episode, but let's move onto why this video is here: the music! This episode had hands-down some of the best music of the series, both songs and score. Daniel Ingram only provides two songs for this two-parter, but they surely fill the void of 10 songs. From the princesses, including Luna (!!), singing a song which I can only describe as "Godlike", to the fantastic finale song, Ingram, Steffan Andrews, and their team absolutely nailed it. And we cannot forget the music which takes up the majority of the episode: William Anderson's superb score—some of his best work! I wasn't sure if he would top his score from the season 4 premiere , but he delivered and then some. Not only did he hit on all of the reoccurring themes throughout the season, but he "plussed" them so much it was amazing—Please see the episode's crowning-BGM "Friendship is the Key." I'll be sure to point out as many musical callbacks and meanings as I can in the tracks' descriptions below! Enjoy, and see you for Equestria Girls 2! --Track Specific Comments-- This track begins with a march as the dignitaries leave the meeting. Next, as Twilight begins explaining her concerns to the other three princesses, we get a very somber reprise of the theme which just appeared in the previous track, which originally appeared in the season 4 opener "Princess Twilight Sparkle." As Cadance tries to console Twilight, we get the reprise of another season 4 theme, this one a somber clarinet one. It first appeared in the episode "Maud Pie" in the track "Maud Saves Pinkie," and appeared again in "Inspiration Manifestation" as Spike finally tells the truth to Rarity about what she had become.
