As many of you probably know by now, especially those of you in the music community, Not a Clever Pony has left the pony craze. He left a final album for everyone to invade. It's currently up with an option to donate on his bandcamp page. I don't know how many downloads it has before it caps, so you might want to head over there and pick it up!

ReplyDeleteIt's a real shame, too. He will not be forgotten, however. I'm liking Sunshine and Celery Stalker.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Notacleaver pony. :,)
ReplyDeleteI tried to download but it says "unsupported format" @__@
ReplyDeleteI feel Neaer My God To Thee would be appropriate for this
ReplyDelete(if you don't know look it up, it's the song the band plays during the ending of Titanic)
The album is quite good, but he shall be missed. Farewell Not A Clever Pony, you were one of the greats.
ReplyDelete*Nearer
ReplyDeleteI hope that he gets better. It's a shame- time to donate!
ReplyDeletei knew he was leaving the fandom but i havent been able to discern why anyone care to fill me in.
ReplyDeleteI wish you well Not A Clever Pony. I only just started listening to your music, but I love it. I hope you excel in wherever you go now.
ReplyDeleteAww, final album, yeah. Kinda sad really. :( I wish him luck with any future endeavors and life in general.
ReplyDeleteYep IANACP was one of the best musicians I have ever heard, sad to see him go.
ReplyDelete@Chucklesmoke Spray
You sure say Scootaloo is best pony a lot, not that I disagree.
@Roman500 Agreed on both points.
ReplyDeleteHe will be missed, but at least he went out with a full album
ReplyDeleteWho is this guy again? Heard his name before but I don't know what he's done or why he's left. Info?
ReplyDeleteHe dropped out a couple of months ago, didn't he?
ReplyDeleteI haven't even listened to more than a few seconds of one song. I just clicked buy and tossed money at him.
ReplyDeleteNo, that's not a joke. Not A Clever Pony's "Luna: As Imagined" Album was the inspiration for my most popular image i've ever drawn. It still gets favorites on a daily basis, months after its been posted. My only image to get past 30 favs, and its almost at 400. a few thousand views (three times more than either my DA or FA main page.).
A true inspiration to many. He leaves behind some very big boots to fill.
ReplyDeleteIANACP was an inspiration to us all. I just downloaded all of the tracks in that album and tried to donate $10. I dunno if it worked or not. I hope it did.
ReplyDeleteShame that he's gone. I'd hate it if this was some popularity stunt, but damn I'd be so glad he was back.
ReplyDelete@Homfrog
ReplyDeleteHe was the first great brony musician, was back from early Season 1. He was an inspiration to many of the well known brony musicians of today.
His first works are the most popular, and arguable, the best songs in the entire fandom. (Google the song For The New Lunar Republic, I'm assuming you heard it before, or one of the hundreds of remixes people have done)
Wait, is he leaving ALL ponies behid or has he just stopped making music?
ReplyDeleteAlso, why?
Yeah, there we are: http://iamnotacleverpony.deviantart.com/journal/Gone-Love-you-all-268575737
ReplyDeleteHe dropped out about a month ago.
@Homfrog
ReplyDeleteNot a Clever Pony was a major person in the music community of MLP. His most famous piece is probably For the New Lunar Republic, along with a host of other songs.
He stopped making music as he has a illness (it will be with him for the rest of his life) that required him to spend less time working on music, and instead working to buy his medications. A few months back he announced this, along with a bit of letter saying how wonderful it has been
NaCP was one of the first brony musicians I followed, with All Powerful Trixie being the first fan made song I heard and downloaded. He's made a big impact in my life and many bronies out there, and he will be missed. I'll happily donate to help him out.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit, I didn't listen to much of his music but it was really fantastic, everything has been said before but he inspired alot of people and made alot of great music and he deserves all the praise he has recieves/is recieving.
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss you, Not A Clever Pony! Of course, I'll be looking for your other non-pony stuff!
ReplyDeleteDArn, I like his music. Tears shall be shed mate. We will miss you.
ReplyDeleteAh man that's crap. I like his music. . .:(
ReplyDeleteMust... not.. cry!!
ReplyDelete(listening to album as I type this)
Knowing this is the likely the last we'll hear from NaCP makes this whole album bittersweet.
Godspeed Not a Clever Pony.
I wish you all the best. You are among the greatest of us all.
I think the entire fandom will miss you, but I hope he doesn't do this for publicity.
ReplyDeleteDear IAmNotACleverPony,
ReplyDeleteI'll try to write this message on several networks in the hopes that it will reach you:
You were one of the first, and greatest brony musicians out there. A true asset to our community.
Luna as I imagined is one of my favorite fan albums of all time, and I still listen to it on constantly. It is also a favorite in my local brony group (Northern California Bronies) I think I speak for everypony when I say:
Thank you.
Thank you for the great music that you gave us.
Thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you for your contribution.
We all wish you the best of luck in whatever you do and whatever happens. You've made an impact on this community, and I know that nopony will forget you anytime soon.
Take care, fellow brony.
*Brohoof*
abandoning ponies? argh that be mutiny to pony kind, be gone ye coward
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard this artist before, but I have to say this whole album is remarkably good. The whole thing about having to leave the community is a little strange though, unless he's going deaf or his obsession with ponies was starting to get unhealthy. I can say I know the feeling...
ReplyDeleteiamnotacleverpony, If you ever read this, Thank you. you've done something beautiful, I will always remember you, your music and what you've done to the fandom.
ReplyDeleteHe's left for health reasons
ReplyDeleteI admit I don't pay attention to the fan music, except RainbowCrash88 but I'm incredibly touched by the descriptions of him in the comments.
ReplyDeleteI am buying his tracks and listening to his music for the first time.
Thank you all.
@Unknown
ReplyDelete@Dreamin Daze
He left for long term health problems, undisclosed.
NACP, if you are reading it, and I find the chances slim, please know YOU are the reason I got into the fandom. I listened to Lower the Moon, and was immediately hooked. You showed me the light.
I don't fully understand what you're going through, I won't make any judgement, but if it is at all possible at any time, come back. We would welcome you with open arms. And we say farewell with tears and full hearts.
God damnit, Seth. We just recovered from Fo:E ending, and now this. Thanks for the tears.
ReplyDeleteBut in all seriousness, I wish you good fortune in all your travels. It was an honor to simply have known you, and to have the privilege of participating in your Remix Wars.
And yes, Celestia IS best pony.
>last song on album
ReplyDeleteCLEAR THE DUCKS!!!
Good luck in whatever it is that you gotta do man.
ReplyDelete*salutes*
See ya round in this crazy interweb.
This is the BEST ALBUM EVER! Many of these songs, have inspired me to great feats. <3
ReplyDeleteiamnotacleverpony's "For the New Lunar Republic" was one of the first fan MLP songs I ever heard, and is still one of the best out there. It's sad that he left, but not everything lasts forever. Good luck in whatever you are going to do, and thanks for the amazing songs.
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to donate to several pony artists but I just don't have the extra money right now.
ReplyDeleteHowever, NACP was the first pony fan music I heard and has a special place in my heart. Since NACP is no longer producing music I may not get another chance to donate so I gave what little I could and downloaded the album.
I hope everyone who is able will donate whatever they can, he deserves it.
Nooooooo not him!!!!! T^T
ReplyDelete>has no moneys
ReplyDelete>makes donation anyway
>scumbag heart
but seriously, really sad to have my fav pony artist go, and worse to an illness.
We'll leave a spot open for ya, cleverpony, whenever you come back
I'm really upset he didn't finish the sunshine and celery stalks song. It sounds really good. I wish for him to get better. I never really listened to his songs until he left, but I love them.
ReplyDeleteNO HE WAS MY FAVORITE ARTIST
ReplyDelete@Scribbles
ReplyDeletePretty much the same circumstances as me. I was oblivious to this whole Pony fandom, until I stumbled across NACP's Lower The Moon. I immediately got hooked, bought the rest of the album, then decided to give the show a try, and I've never looked back. To this day, Princess Luna: As Imagined is one of my favorite albums of all time.
While I'm sad to see you go NACP, I wish you the very best and hope that maybe someday, you'll come back.
Wow. I've never heard of this guy, but I think I may buy this album for ten to fifteen dollars. This is some good stuff.
ReplyDeleteThis is very upsetting. One of our greatest artist to the fandom is leaving. I hope you get well my friend and we all hope you surprise us one of these days with something that will totally blow our minds! Untill then, have a merry and safe Holidays. We will hope for your triumphant return to us :)
ReplyDeleteNotACleverPony, you will probably never see this but you got me into this fandom and made Luna best pony (even though you think Celestia is best pony).
ReplyDeleteI salute you and everything you've done. Good luck with your life, I'm sure you'll be able to do great things even with the challenges you might face.
This fandom will always keep a spot clean and warm just for you.
Great music and great composer he will surly be missed. I hope I donated enough anything to help. Only probleom I got is the little of the Soundtrack I am not so sure I can belive Celestia being best pony.
ReplyDelete@Uni
ReplyDeleteCelestia is bestpony. Shame on you all. We'll miss you, Clever.
The ironic thing was his most famous song was bout luna
ReplyDeleteFarwell and I wish u all the best. Ill hav to give this a look and ill see if I can donate
ReplyDeletelink to farewell letter if you wanna see its in the journal part, sounds like it more like a leave from his churning out of music due to other matters well I do wish you the best of luck notacleverpony may may inter-web travels lead me to cross paths with you again sometime. http://iamnotacleverpony.deviantart.com/
ReplyDeleteSo, I bought the album. Hopefully my small contribution will be of some help. It really is quite sad to see him go, he really is one of the best. I still haven't had the heart to unsubscribe to his youtube account. :(
ReplyDeleteWe all wish you good luck and a good life. Hopefully, we will hear from you sometime in the future, you will always be welcome here.
I bought it, not only has he given us amazing free music before, but he deserves the money.
ReplyDeleteThank you NACP, your music was one of the first times I realised how awesome this community is.
I will never forget his "For The New Lunar Republic" track, or more so, the impression it left. He made a huge impact on the community, and I'm glad I was here to witness the miracle :)
ReplyDeleteMust... think... of... original... goodbye...
ReplyDeleteOh, to the moon with it. NACP, I wish only the very best to your future. May both the sun and moon shine brighter to you as you walk, because you pleased the princesses with your music... and our entire community, as well.
You will forever be missed, but you'll never be forgotten. Farewell and good luck, NACP. Very good luck.
>Listened to 4 tracks
ReplyDelete>Gave money
I didn't even hear the whole album. But since he left for health reason...I think he deserves it...
SURELY some of you people who say "I haz no munnyz" can AT LEAST DONATE $1.00
ONE DOLLAR
$1......
-_-
I love his songs, every one of them! I hope he gets well and returns one day... For someone as young as him to already have a final album...
ReplyDeleteDownloaded the whole album without listening. Gave 3 dollars. Don't regret a cent. Hope you get better Not A Clever Pony. You're still my favorite Brony Artist.
ReplyDeleteTill listening to The Arto of Celestia's Dress. Wonderful tune. Fits my mood perfectly. Kinda sad sounding, but light hearted and hopeful. In my opinion at least.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to lie and say I was the biggest fan of NaCP, but I did love his music, and now that he is gone, I'm still sad.
ReplyDeleteListening to the My Little Pony Theme (Farewell Party Remix) brings tears to my eyes!
Woah did he just remix PinkiePieSwear? ALL OF MY YES!
ReplyDelete*snaps crisp Salute*
ReplyDeleteAirborne brother. We will all carry you in our hearts or at least in our pockets on our MP3s. You were an inspiration to us all.
i dont have a job or id gladly donate lol it has nothing to do with having a dollar
ReplyDeleteSorry to see you go NACP... For the New Lunar Republic! Also take the $5 I can spare right now. Hope your holidays are filled with warmth and love
ReplyDeleteSad to see him go, but everything has to come to an end.
ReplyDeleteI'm not the richest brony in the world, but ten bucks is better than nothing.
I don't have a way (meaning all of my money is either in the bank or in cash, and I don't have a credit card) to donate any money to the cause at the moment, but as soon as I do I plan to re-download the tracks and give some money to NACP. He's definitely one of (if not holding the position by himself) the best.
ReplyDeleteTo be hindered by an illness that robs you of your passion? I am reminded of Lou Gehrig (who's nickname ironically was The Iron Horse) and how he was stricken in his prime by a disease eventually named for him. Is this album akin to Not A Clever Pony's Luckiest Man on the Face of the Earth speech, then? I am ignorant to what he has, and only know him by some of his music; I nonetheless pray his illness isn't malignant or lethal in any way.
ReplyDeleteI wish him well in his trials ahead, and may the appreciation shown by this community never waver in it's displays of kindness.
Finally, I've listened to this entire album, now. It was fantastic. What a talent is lost in him.
That's enough of my poor attempts to wax poetic. I'll buy the album, It'll be of some contribution to the guy.
So let me guet this straight... One of the artists that very much founded this fandom must quit. Why? (I hope I understood that well) Because he has an illness that requires him to work hard, so he can get money for his treatment. And that work won't leave him enough free time to keep making music...
ReplyDeleteBronies, how about making sure he gets all the money he needs from making music? We would need to ask NACP first, of course, but as a community, we CAN provide him enough money for his treatment, and we CAN skyrocket him to a popularity that goes beyond the brony community.
Goodbye, Not a Clever Pony, you will be sorely missed. Thanks for all of the music, it contributed a lot to this fandom.
ReplyDeleteI bet that one day, in the future, whe will look back to these days and agree that NACP was one of the best musician, not only in the Fandom, but beyond... you'll never be forgotten.
ReplyDeletefortunatos vitae!
NACP's last album?
ReplyDelete*throws more money in his direction*
Good Luck NACP! Hopefully someday, you can come back to join the herd.
Let us remember, that this pony was the clever music pony.
ReplyDelete*i really need to sleep*
NACP was one of the first musicians I came across when I first embraced my bronieness. His contribution will be felt for a long time to come. I wish him the best and hope that he can one day return. Thank you Not a Clever Pony!!
ReplyDeleteHis content will be truly missed. Such a shame to see him go, but a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do. I wish him the best of luck in whatever he does with his future! ♥
ReplyDeleteHonestly said, I have no idea who he is. I don't think I've ever listened to his music. Might give a try someday.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm sad that he's gone.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll probably download this album.
Yeah, Celestia is best pony.
Sad to see them leave. And will try to give at least something for the download.
ReplyDeleteI think he's honestly the best we had in the community, after Christmas when money is available I'll buy his album at an actual decent price.
ReplyDeleteSad to see him go.
Bought an album. Hope my lil bit will help him is some way.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame he's gone, he really was a great musician..
ReplyDeleteIt even sounds final. I can't help but shed a fair dozen tears, not manly tears either at Clever Pony leaving the brony scene. He truely is a legend.
ReplyDeleteI gave $10.
ReplyDeleteI feel like a "Butt" for not being able to at least pay for the album, but I wish that he will come back someday. And this wont actually be his last album.
ReplyDeleteNotacleverpony is a woman, people!
ReplyDeleteAnd she stopped making music due health isues.
Some claim it is a mental condition, and that she is not allowed to use the internet.
