Ponies' voices fill the night

Happy hearts so full and bright
Hearth's Warming Eve is here once again!

Oh, what a sight
Look at the light
All for tonight
Hearth's Warming Eve is here once again!

Clouds arranged 'til they're just so

Gonna make some awesome snow

Snowflakes aglow

Say Goobye
to the Holiday

 

 

 

 

[Starlight Glimmer]
Happy Hearth's Warming, they say in the street
Happy Hearth's Warming, they think they're so sweet
Words said so often that they lack any meaning
Why should I join in when I could be intervening?

Everypony loves this cursed holiday
But would they be better off with it out of the way?
Well, okay!

 

Say goodbye to the holiday
With my magic, I'll erase it
The greatest gift that I give today
And everypony will have to face it

No more little games for you to play
After you say goodbye to the holiday!

Goodbye, Hearth's Warming, you had a good run
Goodbye, Hearth's Warming, it's over, you're done
Finally set free from your forced celebrations
No need to reply to your trite invitations
Calendar shorter by a single day
Is my magic up to the test?
Time to see, I can't delay

Say goodbye to the holiday
Prepare the spell, no hesitation
All memory shall fade away
See Equestria's new transformation!

No more shall anypony say
Happy Hearth's Warming...
... after today!

After today...

The Seeds
of the Past

 

 

 

[Applejack]
As a young thing, life sure is somethin'
You go makin' choices large and small
Always growin' like a seedlin'
And playin' is like dreamin'
And before you know it, big and tall

And every little bitty choice you make
Sends you down a path to who you are today
So let's take a little trip down memory lane
And see just what the past has to say!

(Aw, look how cute you were. Looks like you're not too upset it's Hearth's Warming Eve either.)

The seeds of the past
They grow pretty fast
Just look at who you were back then

The seeds, as they grow
Look what they can show
Reveal the truth time and again

...

[Applejack]
Then some distress
Words so careless
Standin' there, you don't know what to do

Feelin' helpless
You can't make it hurt less
So you go and change your point of view

And in that moment, though you didn't know it
Your defenses set up walls you built to last
Leading to the pony you've become today
And the spell you're about to cast
It all comes from your past!

 

[Starlight Glimmer]
The seeds of the past
We grow up so fast
Some hurts never go away...

[Applejack]
The seeds, as they grow
This we can't let go
All tied to this one holiday...

Pinkie's Present

 

 

 

[Pinkie Pie]

Take a look at everything around you
All the smells that surely will astound you
Open up your heart, it will surround you
In the magic of Hearth's Warming Eve!

The little things that make it better
Little ponies spreading cheer
Give a toy, a hug, a sweater
Memories that last all year

The present's always filled with presents
Large, medium, and small
Sometimes the most important things
Aren't very big at all!

[...]

What a party, there's so much to see here
Can't believe you didn't want to be here
You'd have had a blast, I guarantee here
This is the spirit of Hearth's Warming Eve!

Cider's flowing, this is living
Come on and feel the beat
Life is better when you're giving
Each time you do it feels so sweet

The present's always filled with presents!
So come on, open your eyes
Spend time with ponies just like you
And watch your spirits rise

The present's always filled with presents!
Take a look around
The reason for the holiday
Is quite easily found

Yes, the reason for the holiday
Is quite easily found

And the reason is to be with your friends!

Luna's Future est l'avant-dernière chanson de l'épisode. Interprétée par Aloma Steele, elle a été composée par Caleb Chan et Daniel Ingram, qui a également contribué à l'écriture des paroles aux côtés de Michael Vogel.

Cette chanson marque le premier solo de Luna, bien qu'elle joue le rôle du "Spirit of Hearth's Warming Yet to Come", l'esprit de la fête future.

Luna's Future

 

 

 

 

[Princess Luna]
I see a cold wind blowing through
I see days neither fun nor free
I see a future caused by you
I see a path not meant to be

The future should be filled with magic
Dreams and wishes brought to life
But the days ahead are dark and tragic
No time for hope when all is strife

Whatever might have been
All the dreams that ponies share
Because of you, Snowfall Frost
Now the future is a cold nightmare

Hearth's Warming Eve Is Here Once Again (Reprise)

 

 

 

[Starlight Glimmer]
Hearth's Warming Eve is filled with presents
Some take you by surprise
A story shared by your good friends
That makes your spirits rise

Sometimes you just let go of the past
Enjoy the present while it lasts
And really it's not that much to ask
With good friends by your side

Now it's time to celebrate

[Poneys]
Hearth's Warming Eve is here once again!

[Starlight Glimmer]
All together, feeling great

[Poneys]
Hearth's Warming Eve is here once again!

Can hardly wait
We'll party 'til late

Our favorite date

Happy, happy Hearth's Warming Eve
Happy, happy Hearth's Warming Eve
Hearth's Warming Eve is here once again!
