- "Walls" was inspired by something pretty mundane: reading Internet arguments. It struck me one day that people can appear to have a conversation while actually misunderstanding one another in spectacular fashion. It's hard to come out of our own, personal worlds and try to understand someone else's when they are often so very different. At least, it is for me, and I don't always want to. This song is about the struggle to try.

there is a wall, a yawning rift
a glass between two plates adrift
I see you shout and start to wave
we talk in riddles, speak charades
picture worlds we've never seen
and I'll hear things you'd never mean
still I will aim to see your side
and you'll know that I truly tried
and though my darkened spyglass view
could never hope to capture you
through forests, over hills and moors
my canyon wall leans out to yours
there is a wall, a yawning rift
a glass between two plates adrift
my separation and defense
my constant curse, my preference
would that I better understood
how to draw near, I wish I could

I will never stop being impressed with your ability to turn the most mundane of topics into something marvellously poetic. The lyrics and composition blend seamlessly together, and the effect is amazing. Nice job.
They have amazing talent, indeed.
I was just thinking the other day how it was a shame how I rarely see poetry about the issues of the digital age. This is a lovely song to prove that such things do exist.
*sniff* that was beautiful...*sniff*
Shhh! I'm not crying! it's liquid pride...
Still an amazing song, all these years later, still stands true as well.
This may be one of my favorite songs.
Most of my songs are fantasy, but this one's very honest and real. I'm glad it speaks to you.
Beautiful, and quite apt; I find myself all too often being sucked into reading just such arguments, wishing I could correct them as a 3rd-party observer... And sometimes making the mistake of trying. : ) Apt.
This just inexplicably hit me in the feels. Ow.
This is still such an incredible piece to me, one of my favorite songs even, wonderful work
oh yeah baby, bathe me in those delicious gregorian chords UGH
+Giulia Sthefany Salustiano (FunnyFany) Not gregorian, majority of gregorian chants were sung in unison and when they did use harmony it was usually in octaves, fifths, fourths
also l-l-lewd
+newvultraz Huh, you're right; sorry. Not sure what to call this one, then. Just "amazing music **does weird noises**" simply doesn't do justice :p
+newvultraz but in classical music it is illegal to have parallel octaves, and fifths: for good reason too. the harmonies were very rare, it was mostly unisons I think :)
Even Skies Only in baroque counterpoint.
A.P. music theory told me it started in baroque and continued to the present (usually in the present... yes, even dubstep XD).
I love that you don't just do fan-songs, but great other songs as well. They are all amazing!!!!
That was like siting in a Kingdom listening to want to your warrior saying just beautiful songs that you never heard before..😌
+Melina G Yes! It has a very Renaissance feel to it... good call.
+D - Larson 👸🏼🏆👍🏼
Who would have ever thought internet comments could inspire something so profound.
If everyone gave the extra effort to try and understand another, the world would be SO much of a more better place.
Anyway, beautiful song and interesting theme! ^^
All of yours songs are outstanding, you are one of a kind.
Beautiful music and even more beautiful voice
You're getting better and better ! And your songs too !
everytime i think you're song can't get better your prove me wrong
I read your description, but I can't help but imagine this a fitting song for Celestia to sing pre-Nightmare Moon as she notices her sister shutting herself away. Maybe it was the harpsichord or just lyrics that are broad enough to fit into many situations. But well done.
Incredible
Great song, as always. One of the things I like about your songs is that each one sounds different, and this one is no exception. It's somewhere between a folk song and an opera, and it's brilliant. Also, good choice of topic - the theme of perspective and empathy is one that I love seeing explored, and you've done a good job of that both musically and lyrically. Keep up the good work!
+Sean Murphy Although, to dull the positivity just a bit, the lyrics get a little bit confused near the middle, when you seem to be trying to cram two different metaphors into a song that doesn't really have enough lyrics to go around. Minor nitpick, doesn't diminish the quality of the song, but still worth pointing out.
Masterpiece, as it always has been.
Ahh, another Ponyphonic song! Why am I always asleep when they come out?
But seriously, wow. This is incredible. Reminds me a lot of "Air Song," now that I think about it.
when the
the inferential distance ;o;
this is such an insanely Correct and beautiful song. ponyphonic always goes hard but this Goes Hard. always has, always will
I just have to say wow. This is amazing and based on something so true. This is amazing.
Hello just wanted to say I still love and listen to this song sometimes... I’m currently using it for comfort... 2020 election night... I don’t know... thank you for making music
This song is so good oh my goodness.
Amazing ( like always xD ). The violins part is magic
Awesome! And, that's some pretty interesting inspiration, I like it :]
when people use the Internet, of course they don't act like "themselves". We think differently than we speak. But this is a really good song
This has become increasingly relevant.
There was only one very large thing wrong with your song.... It's way too short! I could listen to your music for hours! I always love your music :)
This is beautiful. It made me cry and smile all at once.
this is exactly the kind of music I want to listen to.
you have raised your art, and created of it Art.
As usual you never cease to amaze me. :) keep it up
OK... wow! I was fortunate enough to hear earlier versions and I have to say I just love the addition of the violin (as the featured instrument), the BGVs... but mostly I am blown away by your illustration. Very dramatic and fits the song perfectly. Great job as usual!
This is so beautiful. I love harpsicord!!!
i love your songs, and this one is far my favorite. it brings me to tears, tears of happiness because it's so beautiful..
Beautiful
Oh my gosh this new song is so good so far! :O
Big fan of your work.
It sounds beautiful and amazing
For such a seemingly simple topic of inspiration, this is an amazing piece.
Wow! This is Beautiful.
Keep up the Good work Ponyphonic
i love all you songs, they just have that animated movie grandeur, there like songs from The Prince of Egypt, quest for Camelot, or any disney fim
beautiful.
This is so beautiful ♥!
This is a beautiful song, I love the organ in the background.
WOW! It look like kind of those medieval songs! You're doing well! Love ya!!!
Beautiful... Reminded me of Spirit for some reason. Keep up the good work!
This was absolutely stunning, I cried on the inside (which I a bigger burst of emotion than showing it on the outside) ^_^ I loved it 100%
Wow. This is really beautiful! Fantastic job on this one!
beautiful
Your voice is perfect for power metal
New Ponyphonic song! HYPEHYPEHYPEHYPE
Interesting inspiration for it. Funny enough be going back and forth on an issue that is a total mess x.x... so you're not wrong on that part.
Needs more harpsichord.
I kid, I really like the song! And I'm a sucker for harpsichord, there isn't enough of it. I can't wait for an instrumental release, I would love to hear the music on it's own.
I love your music, really love the inspiration, tune and vocals. You are my favorite youtubers and every time I see a new video from you I watch it instantly. I love music and soon I will be doing the same thing you do (but in a little bit more of my style {no offense, you have an amazing style but I don't want to copy}) love the songs you do, and I love the way every song has something unique and you in it. I hope you read this (I know it's really long, sorry) but I had to let you know! Keep doing what your doing! :3
That was really really nice.
your stuff is great!
I think this is your best song yet... jfc its good
I think Starlight Waltz was better, but this one is good indeed :)
20k views? I think this song is a bit underrated, I personally love it!
I'm more looking at the 1,000:6 like/dislike
You are a great compositor.
How could I miss your channel?..
this is awesome! how do you guys make the base music for it? do you play the music on instruments or use synthesized sounds?
Will this ever be on itunes, cause i'd buy it.
Are you no longer making such beautiful music?
Not that I don't like all your music, but you haven't uploaded anything pony in, what, almost a year? I don't wanna rush ya, but you are PONYphonic after all! :P
Oh, and this song is AMAZING! :D
I know I really like that he's branching out. I don't have anything against his pony songs, and like those as well, but I think I prefer the non pony songs.
+Salted Caramel I know :( I haven't had a lot of pony-related inspiration lately, though I am sort of working on a pony song at the moment. It's on my mind, I'm just kind of creatively stuck.
+Salted Caramel He is musician after all. They need to go forward. Not like stuck on one stuff for they're life.
Not that I'm saying pony song stuff is certainly bad or something.
+ponyphonic Go where the inspiration takes you. Sure, most of us *found* you through your pony stuff, but I'm sure most of us will enjoy whatever you put out.
Good luck!
+Salted Caramel MandoPONY hasn't done anything pony in a while (he says he might again in the future). they are both allowed to do non-pony stuff if pony is in their name. Its hard to draw inspiration from only one thing all the time: even with something with so many themes. :)
Yeah, communicating through written messages sucks. I know a lot of problems that occurred by the misunderstanding of one.
Hi there, is your music by any chance royalty free/ is there any chance you would allow me to use your music in my recordings and/or streams? Your music is really nice and smooth so I would be very happy if I could :)
What was the beginning and end instrument used in the song.
+RottenTotten Harpsichord.
Would I be allowed to use this song in a MAP? (multi animator project)
Song by ponyphonic? Like before watching!
More songs!
I was looking at the cover picture and I noticed that from one angle it looks like two canyons but from different one it looks like torn fabric. Was that intentonal?
P.S Do you do your own art?
nice meme :^)
Does anyone else picture this song in a medieval movie?
+Blud Spammd I don't think they had movies back then... (JK, yes I do).
. . . I have no idea what this song is about no matter how much I try to understand . . .
(This is a joke)
This song vaguely reminds me of the House of the Rising Sun.
Is there piano sheet music for this?
Link to pic?
Do people write the lyrics to you, and you compose them as a song?

Hi! your song has been shared with The Filk Club on Deviant Art! www.deviantart.com/thefilkclub
You must have a lot of experience with singing.
This song makes sense, especially with Donald Trump trying to build a wall 😑
