Music: Octavia's Overture


The Living Tombstone's has released his take on what everyone's favorite brown cellist sounds like.  It's pretty rare that we find one of these with actual lyrics.  They are pretty deep too! 

Hit it up after the break!

>Brown

Uh...I think you need to adjust the coloration of your computer screen, Seth...

That or just more sleep. One of the two.

Blizzard said...

This song is seriously one of the best in the fandom

RavensDagger said...

Heard this one earlier. It's not bad. Correct me if I am wrong but this is the first time I hear The Livingtombstone use string instruments (At least never so obviously.)

Ninja Colt said...

The Living Tombstone! Yes!

Doesn't have a song I haven't liked yet.

ConneryPony said...

Actually like the vocals... hm

Zohne said...

Wow, that was deep, well written, original, and utterly fantastic.
The animation on the video was hypnotic...

i like it, i love tomb's accent. but it reminds me how some musicians are slowly leaving the fandom

ftfc said...

This is an amazing song!
Tombstone never lets us down!

Scorched Wing said...

Brown? You mean her Cello?

wackypony said...

nice. very nice.

the voice was off-putting at first, but then fit nicely.

ConneryPony said...

Liked it even more the second time hearing it :D

InkBluPegasus said...

I know I should love it, but I feel somewhat conflicted. I guess I always do when others try and put stories to... well, me!

Though I can't deny, I do like Tombstone's works and I do indeed like this one as well. It has a good beat as always and the lyrics, though conflicting for me maybe a little, are quite good. It's definitely be going into my library. Also, favorited and liked.

Hpkaska said...

Very amazing work by tombstone.

Stray / cryptated said...

Good song. I did find the ... I guess the right word is accent? I dunno... a teeny bit odd, but other than that it's good. I'm sure I'll get used to the voice if I hear it enough.

Maulofchaos said...

I didn't realize what it was saying so I had to go over it again

Lightning Delight said...

Pfft. Grey is the new brown.

Normally I'm one to only enjoy instrumental music. As in no one ever speaks anything. Lately I've been enjoying some more of what this community can sing

mayoyaki said...

Oh, this is a nice change of pace from the usual genre of music uploads. I liek.

@CogWeaver Brown cellist: one who plays a brown cello.

Th3PonyWizard said...

Awesome as usual :)

@Vipera

Aw yeah. #nationalpride :3

Mattatatta said...

Did anypony clock the direct link to "Like A Spinning Record"? Brilliant work on Tombstone's part

Octavia said...

@Mattatatta

Yeah, I noticed that link as well.

Octavia Clef said...

Awesome song! Yet, as a classical/jazz bassist, I still refuse to believe Octavia plays the cello. In my opinion, she will always play the bass.

And here is some reason to back up my illogical preference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st9CxveZieg

@Octavia

When I first started working on the song, one of the first things that came to mind were "What would Octavia from EqD would say on THIS song?"

First of all, thank you so much for loving this song, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Second, I knew that my story I made up on Octavia might be off and kinda sad cause I had no idea what's the background story people made on her, so, sorry about that

But still, thank you once again Octavia for loving this song and I hope that my next song I'll make on her will have a better story to tell about her :)

PonyPonyPonyBrony said...

Enjoyed, although Tombstone was a bit too nasal on this track. I mean it's his style, but it didn't really work this time.

Monsty said...

@The Living Tombstone

Tomb! I absolutely adore that you linked both Scratch's and Octavia's songs together! They make both of them suddenly much more amazing than it already is! Thanks as always for the wonderful music!

Maquabra said...

"Brown cellist"? "Violet RD's eyes"?
I think someone is trolling us.

Maquabra said...

After listening to the song...

It's definitely very well made though not exactly what I personally like. There are several really epic songs in soundcloud - go there, people. You won't regret listening to all of songs there.

Everything in mp3... I can never understand why people create music that is meant to sound decently (guitars, voice, piano) and never really release it. mp3 may be enough for ipods and laptop speakers but playing it on a cowon + sennheiser combo makes it a parody. Not even mentioning stationary sound systems.

Octavia said...

@The Living Tombstone

I'm a little late to this.

But no worries, Tombstone. I still really like it and think the story you incorporated into it is pretty good. I haven't wrote her story just yet. I'm hoping to get to it... perhaps someday. lol I also like how you sorta linked it to Like a Spinning Record. I thought that was kinda clever. Just keep those awesome songs coming. Your songs are among my favorites in the entire community.

Lemonite said...

@Maquabra RD does have violet eyes... and I'm pretty sure when he says brown he's referring to the cello...

mycutiemarkisagun said...

OH HO HO! VENTURING OUTSIDE THE COMFORT ZONE A BIT, EH TOMBSTONE? :D

And damn I dig that voice. Its not pitch-perfect singing, just fun...good-ass...vocalism. @1:40 reminded me of Ol' Dirty Bastard for some reason. Don't ask why, and yes that's a goddamn compliment. XD

def adding this to my remix "To Do List"

Schlagwerk said...

It's a nice sounding overture, but I just can't get behind your vocals, they just don't sit right with me. This kind of song I think would sound better with a female vocalist, so don't take that last bit to heart. If only Ellie Goulding wasn't such a big shot :)

The Ferret said...

Very beautiful as always tombstone but needs a lyrics sheet too seth:P

This is awesome! But my only question is that is a awfully big for a cello... Looks more like a bass :P.

BronyTree said...

@Soarin
To quote Octavia from the fic Allegrezza: "Its a custom piece."

chance vandyke said...

My god. My new fave song :,D
