Replacer - In Defence of Madness [for Ponies at Dawn - Celestial Planes]

While I have really broad tastes in music, I mostly listen to EDM and metal, so I'd never have spared you a glance if this hadn't started playing on Celestial Planes.... This absolutely blew my mind. Everything about it. I love it, and I'll be browsing your channel when I have the time. :3

I'm not a native english speaker so when I listen to english music I take the lyrics as an instrument, like another guitar. You don't listen to a guitar to memorize each note and write them down, you enjoy the feeling, the pitch of the instrument, the rythm, etc ... So I basically do the same with the lyrics, that's why sometimes I love some songs with horrible written lyrics but will hate some of the finest texts because it doesn't suit me on an "hearing" level. Ho boy, i hope i didn't lose you by that point xD

Well, what I wanted to say in the end is that you have a BEAUTIFUL voice, I suppose now you can guess I don't care very much for the lyrics (sorry) but the way you sing them it's awesome. It gave me a creepy/nice feeling of someone whispering into your hear when you're not ready for it and about to sleep, you're scared and then you realize it's your mother and ask her to continue. To put it simply : I love this song !

hhnnnggg everything you make is so perfect
doesn't matter what you're singing about, you always make it sound beautiful. 
your songs just always make me feel so darn emotional, that's especially true with this one... please never ever stop making your wonderful music <3

Listened to PaD: CP a few days ago. This is definitely my favourite track. Fantastic work, Replacer.

"a flash of colour and she's gone the one you hoped to pursue" I could swear I heard this line before ;)
great music!

Great song :) Piano parts are amazing, and the mastering is pretty well done.

Hey, this is the bomb-diggedy! Sent chills up my spine. Keep up the great works!

i love the evolution in this piece

This is beyond awesome! It's Beawesome! Seriously, you have such an amazing talent! Voice, instrumentals, everything! :) applause

I really enjoyed it very much! It's always great to see different kinds of Music in the Fandom, it's pretty refreshing :)

OH man the brass in the instrumental is giving me chills.

Beautiful work. Very Pink Floyd vibe that I'm getting from this.

The sonic landscapes you create continually give my ears great satisfaction.  I'm glad to be subscribed to you.  :)

Sweet and calm. This is why I love brony music so much; there´s simply such variety of styles to listen to. Great job, by the way.

it's amazing how lush and vast your music sounds considering you do all this completely by yourself
i particularly love the solo section, those horns <3

Absolutely love how this turned out, is really awesome that you were able to take part again! :D <3

Really great. Love the heavy, trudging feel of the whole tune. Compliments your voice well! I'll have to pick this whole album up for sure!

omg... I never listen to music this soft. I love your music I hope you continue for awhile :D

Honestly, when I really take the time to listen to the lyrics, this is one of the most depressing songs I've ever heard. I don't mean that in a bad way, though. It's well done, and powerful, and an instant favorite. I just shouldn't listen to it when I'm already feeling down.

Oh, man. This song is just so amazing.

Great song, love the tune. You deserve more subscribers! :D

Really like the use of brass. Gives the song a Supertramp-y feel

Such a peaceful vibe.

Been some time since I've visited this channel. I see you've only become better! Aged like fine cheese.

I was eagerly awaiting your return. Of course you do not disappoint.
Nice song.

It feels like your music has progressed somehow.

this made me cry. it's a wonderfully written song.

THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!! KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!!!

I love it . again the lyrics are brilliant I love the I wasn't looking for a fairy tail any way part and the tune is great too

Wow I really love your sound...always makes me think of the beatles if they made pony tunes ^^ didn't realize you had new stuff (granted I'm 4 months off now lol).

Love this piece. You record the piano yourself? Also you planning on doing a submission for the next ponies at dawn? I'm hoping to get something done myself.

This is Enchanting, and I can already tell it's going to be a favorite of mine.
Of course they picked you, how could they not??

Love the song replacer!

I've always been a huge fan of Al Stewart, and every time I hear this song, it just puts me right back in there. Just everything about it screams that at me, and I can't help but wonder if anyone else here is picking it up.

Wow very nice. I love your voice. Its a very unique sound

Awesome as always.

This is chilling and emotional and sad and grrr I love it

This song fits unusually well with the interpretation of Moondancer from the fanfiction "Background Pony"--and her rationalization of a memory of old friendship with Twilight and Lyra that has been altered by Lyra's non-existence.

Disturbing but charming. I like it!

i LOVE the low brass at 2:00. its such a simple beat but i wanna learn it for trombone :D

I love this song. It feels like it has been influenced by groups like the Beach Boys, some Harry Nilsson, with a little The Left Banke, The Association, and even The Byrds in there. Mostly, though, I feel there is a strong 60s Brit rock vibe in your music. This song is impeccable on every level.

Edited to add: Oh, and there's clearly some Beatles motifs there. Their influential fingerprints are everywhere in the song. If I may ask, who are some of your influences? You seem to like doing a little jazz piano in your music, too. I would almost bet money you're a fan of Cowboy Bebop, too. Just based on your musical style. :P

Edited to add again: PAUL MCCARTNEY!

This has to be one of my favorite pony songs. Were you influenced by Supertramp at all when writing it? It feels very Supertrampy to me.

Oh my god you're back! I love you Replacer!

Eep, Replacer, why must you be so utterly amazing? :D
I'll be broke at this rate!

too awesome! :D

Listening to this, I can't help but think of what would come of a new collab between you and someone like SGaP (who I've heard might be coming back...) or Kreuhn. You all have a great understanding of that style that's both soothing and unique, but also somewhat progressive.

Either way, this is great stuff. It's nice to see you keeping quality while also making music that is undoubtedly new. There's a real dreamy vibe to this one, and I loved how you used the strings here - placing them as a comfortable harmony instead of shoving them in the forefront like most would.

Keep up the great work

Oooh, I like this!
I like this a lot!

1:10 Ohoho, that was a burst of Nostalgia right there. : )

Replacer! It's been a few months! Beautiful song! Nice to see you pop-up on my subs page again! <3

I do love the noir feel that I get from a lot of Replacer's music, but I really have to ask, what is this one about? A failed relationship, obviously. But my small mind can't seem to piece together much more than that.

Been a while since I popped by your channel. Always loved your stuff. Was just wondering, have you ever thought about collabing with Fritzy Beat? I think you both would be great together.

I love this.

its so amazing ;-;

This song actually kinda freaked me out. Something in the melody I guess, but it made me need to look over my shoulder. Don't get me wrong, I can tell it is well put together and flows really nice. Over all it's pretty good. On the other hand, the lyrics didn't really appeal to me. Though, you sang them beautifully.
I hope you are not insulted. That is not my intention. I can see how someone could like it, since it is indeed well put together. It's just not my cup of tea.
I still enjoy your voice, though. ^_^

This is very good.

Sweet song bro, now I know what you were working on all those nights. :)  /)

~woah~ that gave me chills

i love this song XD

Songs like these that tickle the mind in such unexpected ways...these are the kinds of things that really make me want to learn music theory. The evocation of these rare modes, diminished and augmented chords and such, it permits the telling of a tale without words. The first time I heard that music is the universal language, I thought it was such fluff...now I am starting to get it. It's a real marvel. Thanks for putting your heart into this.

Ohh I like it, Thanks for your wonderful song /)

1:10 and i love that song! :D

Awesome! ..../)

"a flash of colour and she's gone; the one you hoped to pursue" nice, tho its weird to think back to Cereulean Blue when this song is so somber.

this is a good song good for sleeping (if lissing to a song before you gone sleep)

...
I
Just
sigh
Wow
It
Leaves
Me
Speachless

This might seem a silly question . . . But what is the song about?
Its a great song but perhaps a little explaining could help us understand what you're trying to say in the song.
