4EverfreeBrony - Little Librarian (Don McLean ponified)

[barbeque]

I'm calling pre-emptive dibs on this one:

I already started working on it well over a month ago, but I wasn't going to post it here until there was a Youtube release anyway. I had hoped to finish it last weekend (didn't know then it was going to premiere today) but stuff came up so I'm not entirely happy with it yet (~8300 on Medium is not "good enough").

And hopefully there will be lyrics somewhere because there's one or two sentences that I did almost certainly wrong.

The lyrics are written in the video description for what I know ^^ (https://youtu.be/9-rGy5n_uaE)
He also put them into the bandcamp: (https://4everfreebrony.bandcamp.com/track/little-librarian-don-mclean-ponified).

If there are some lines missing in them I'd be more than glad to help out with the lyrics. No trouble at all  ;D

Ps: How is the progress going? Really looking forward to singing this song :3

Well, there's probably still some small tweaks, but I'm getting consistenly around 8500 on Medium, and I won't get much higher than that due to my voice. There are some things I also consistently sing 'wrong' so either those pitches are incorrect, but I think it's more that my voice just doesn't like them.

Renard, you'll want to at least double check:
- pitch of "pens" and the second (=last) "friends" in each chorus
- there is one word in CAPSLOCK somewhere, in the first verse I believe: STUBBORN. The official lyrics have "calling" there instead, but it sounds like a 's' is in there as well, so I always hear 'stubborn' or 'stalling'. I think the timing and pitch is fine regardless of what is chosen, but I'm just not sure what to put on screen there
- timings/pitches around the golden "faaaaaaaaaast" (you'll know it when you see it)

I've (tried to) follow your advice about 1/2-length notes and space between syllables and words and linebreaks, but there are places where the song was just too fast etc.

Video's currently 1080p, but bitrate isn't that high.
Background is https://derpibooru.org/2175269 (obviously, feel free to change if you find something better)

PS: beware that if you're going to use Yass (ie, mp3) that GAP is probably different than the current ogg!



I started this like, ages ago, typed out my own lyrics, because back then the Bandcamp page didn't have any lyrics. Thankfully the Youtube version had lyrics in the description, so it gives at least some baseline. I didn't need to change much, just little things here and there.

125 sentences (and many of them not particularly short either). I need to do an easier song next.
