Awesome Music / Aviators

Aviators has some excellent music to rival Glaze and The Living Tombstone in awesomeness.

---

• From his debut album, Reflections of a Dream:
  • For such an Old Shame as this, the title track is still really pretty.
  • The track "Worlds Collide" got a very pretty remix by The Living Tombstone, one that helped shoot Avi to popularity and that set him on the road to Growing the Beard.
• From his album The Adventure:
  • The song "Second Chances" is a heartwrenching song about Trixie having an epiphany.
  • His tribute to Daring Do, "Never Back Down", is a pumpingly awesome song about the Indiana Jones Expy with both his vocals and those of d.notive, and an insanely catchy Rap solo from Yelling at Cats. Now sing it with me: Life can seem like it's a little bit rough, but the top ponies never ever give up! Life can seem like it's a little bit rough, BUT THE TOP PONIES NEVER EVER GIVE UP!
    "Wait. WHERE'D THE BEAT GO?! Uh.. Oh, it's back--"
  • "Spirit of Chaos" is a tense song about Discord as he unleashes chaos and evil upon the hapless residents of Equestria featuring orchestra inspired by his inspiriation, Makkon.
  • His Breakthrough Hit "One Last Letter" featuring Bronyfied, a solemn song about what could have happened had the Mane Six failed to stop Discord. When Balloon Party came out, he provided a VIP Remix of it.
  • And his best known song, "Friendship".
• From his EP The Fear of Flight:
  • The title track, a tribute to the episode "Hurricane Fluttershy".
  • "After Everything", which is also about Fluttershy.
  • "Monster" featuring Omnipony is a terrifying song about Discord as he starts to go insane. After all, All Love Is Unrequited...
• From his MLP Remix Compilations, each titled Equestrian Revolution:
  • Equestrian Revolution (The Original):
    • His remix of "Beyond Her Garden" by Glaze is fast paced and features an amazing violin version of the original synth line. A definite must listen.
    • His "Love is in Bloom" remix featuring Yelling at Cats should be played at ALL THE RECEPTIONS!

• Equestrian Revolution 2.0:
  • This hauntingly beautiful remix of "I've Got to find a Way" would later be referenced in "Open Your Eyes".
  • His remix of PrinceWhateverer's "The Fight Within" is just as metal (if not more so) than the original.
  • When WoodenToaster released his song "Heartmender", Aviators quickly produced his own remix of the song that could be better than the original.
  • This remix of "Until the Sun" is just as solemn and woobieish as the original.
  • When Season 3 premiered, he produced an incredibly catchy remix of "The Ballad of the Crystal Empire".
• Equestrian Revolution III:
  • One day, Aviators was livestreaming when he got some links to the music of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, including the song "Helping Twilight Win the Crown". The remix he produced of it is probably the best remix of them all.
  • Aviators's version of "Fallen" by "Lectro Dub" is undeniably epic and some of his best work.

• From his Christmas EP, Canterlot Carols:
  • Behold, his remix of "The Carol of the Bells", amplified by The Power of Rock.
  • This song, despite its Bittersweet Ending, will melt your heart.
• From his (unfinished) Doctor Who EP, TARDIS:
  • Lo and behold, his tribute to the Eleventh Doctor.
  • "The Last Page" is a nostalgic song bidding our beloved Raggedy Doctor goodbye, and seems to be a perfect send-off to Matt Smith's doctor as he reaches the last page of his adventure.
    "Raggedy man, good night."
• From his concept Video Game Album, Aeterno:
  • The title track, a haunting track about a world After the End... where the end is a recent memory.
  • If no other song up to that point had indicated that he had Grown the Beard (although he did have a beard before), then "The Path Home", the only vocal track on the entire Aeterno album (written as a closing credits song) is most definitely proof that he had.
• From his album From All Sides:
  • "Shadows", featuring the voice of the legendary Glaze (AKA WoodenToaster), is a mixture of Tear Jerker and Nightmare Fuel as Discord goes from being a reformed villain to his old self, as a sort of Dark Reprise to "Monster" featuring Omnipony.
  • Also, "From All Sides", which is what you get when you take his earlier song "Friendship", turn it into a song about redemption and hope, and amplify it with The Power of Rock; once again courtesy of Bronyfied, who did "One Last Letter" with him earlier. It could even be argued that this is a Triumphant Reprise of "One Last Letter"!
  • "Constellations", an insanely catchy song about... well, Constellations. Or, if you listen a bit more closely, Princess Luna.
  • "Far From Me" is a heartrending song about a friendship that was never meant to be and could be seen as a second part to the equally heartrending "Friendship".
  • "Voices of the Crowd", a theme for the Brony Fandom and a rallying cry for all Fandoms in general, especially this part:
    We are the fire that won't burn out, we are the force that won't go down, threaten us, but we'll stand our ground: we are the voices of the crowd.
  • "Lights", a love song between Spitfire and Soarin' featuring the beautiful voices of Aviators and Feather. Aww!
  • "Heroes", also featuring Bronyfied, is the culmination of the Mane Six from ordinary Ponies to the greatest heroes of Equestria, fighting one final battle between good and evil.
• From Mirrors:
  • "Open Your Eyes", Aviators' tribute to Princess Twilight and the Season 3 Finale, including a solemn tribute to I Have To Find A Way.
  • "Someone Like Me", a beautiful song about Fluttershy as she searches for somepony who will love and cherish her for who she is... and succeeds.
  • "You Found Me" featuring Replacer, which started out as a love song between Doctor Whooves and Derpy, but became a generic (yet still incredibly touching) love song instead.
  • "Angels and Dæmons" featuring Feather, or You Are Worth Hell in musical form. Aww!
  • "Ashes", his theory of the Elements of Harmony, which was that Celestia was surrounded with five partners, all of which she lost due to Heroic Sacrifice, Go Mad from the Revelation followed by being Taken for Granite, Face–Heel Turn followed by Literally Shattered Lives, And I Must Scream, and, in The Doctor's case, lost forever. Who Wants to Live Forever?
  • The title track, featuring PrinceWhateverer, is about letting go of your past and breaking through the Mirrors in your way. It's a metaphor, see...
  • Need a song to help you get over a relationship gone sour? This song might help.
    "Without a care to give, I've got the rest of my years to live; I won't look back to regret them, no: I don't want to lose momentum."
  • This song is an invitation to get out, have fun, ignore the "Stop Having Fun" Guys, and Rock the World.
  • And this one, the final track in the album, is about a love that's not unrequited.
• From Ghosts in the Code:
  • "Red", the album's first single, is a beautiful song about letting go of the hatred and fear that we deal with from Fan Haters and spreading love and kindness instead; and is not only applicable to the Brony fandom but to any and all fandoms.
  • "Restless" is an upbeat, catchy, and insanely cool technopop song about rising above your limitations.
  • "Upside Down" has a concept similar to "One Last Letter" - it takes a look at what could have happened had Fluttershy not been turned from her Flutterbat persona in "Bats!". The result is a thrilling, adrenalin-pumping song about a hunter sent to kill her. ^note It's also a pretty fitting theme for one of Monster Hunter's most terrifying monsters.
  • "Set Me Free" is about Princess Luna during her first year in the moon and is far more direct about its subject matter than "Constellations".
  • Lord Tirek gets an epic theme about the one thing that could matter to him the most courtesy of the album's third single... Revenge.^note That's also the song's title.
  • Once again the title track testifies to Aviators' genius and musical talent, telling the tale of someone who doesn't know if they're human or just someone else's machine, and then discovering his own Hidden Depths and using them to become something greater. Not bad for an album about our potential.
  • "Clockwork" is a beautiful ditty about someone deciding to atone for his mistakes in the past, and asking forgiveness of the ones he's wronged.
  • "Slice of Life" tells the story of a newsboy on Broadway Avenue who, despite becoming all he ever wanted, remains a Humble Hero.
  • "The Party Song" is a harsh Deconstruction of the Hard-Drinking Party Girl by showing the dark side of doing nothing but partying and drinking, like addiction and depression while maintaining a beautiful glimmer of hope in spite of it. And who better to use as the focus of this deconstruction than Pinkie Pie?
  • "Fool's Gold" is a rallying song about breaking free from the illusion of decadence and being truly free.
  • The final track, called "Reach (All Along)", is a beautiful song about Twilight during her character arc in "Twilight Time" and also features the amazing voice of 4EverfreeBrony in what would turn out to be his last collaboration before announcing that he would go on hiatus.
• From Let There be Fire, the title track is an epic soulsong detailing the Chosen Undead's journey to continue the Age of Fire, while "Traveler's Song is about a traveling bard and his journey through many realms. It's filled with references to many different video games, all in a single upbeat rock ballad.
• Heck, all of his Dark Souls-inspired songs. Other highlights are Monumental (which is technically a Demon's Souls song, but it still counts), "Fading Light", and "Incandescent".
• From Godhunter:
  • Red Water Dreams is hauntingly beautiful, with a deadly serious subject matter.
  • The title track is an epic alternative rock anthem about confronting the end.
• From the EP Howling at the Moon, Resurrection is a synthwave epic about an undead army coming back to life and fighting on.
• From A Song that Never Ends, the title track channels pure Bondian swagger, backed up with combination sweeping orchestral sound and hard rock edge.
• From Modern Mythology, My Church follows a madman proclaiming his and ascension to divinity and preparing for The End, garnering a cult in the process. The vocals and harmony continue to build as does the Madman's influence and power to a fervent and reverent chant in the song with the chorus echoing the call of the Church and its insanity.
  No, I've come too far. To give up on faith. When it's all my own creation. Bow down, face to the floor. I can heal you soon. When you've blurred your mind's foundation
• Also from Modern Mythology, "Teeth" sure is... something. From the perspective of Legoshi's dark, feral side, it's a gleefully sinister song about wanting to either have sex with someone or eat her, or possibly both.
  Maybe it's the moonlight
  Mixed with carnal insight
  Violent but it feels right
  You make me come unsheathed
