about
On June 3rd, 2020, I received a letter from MEGA regarding a DMCA takedown for Rising Dawn. However, this notice wasn't from Hasbro or anyone else. This notice was from an entirely different company that wasn't associated with Hasbro. However, they should have known that everyone who contributed on the original album were the rights holders, although none of us owned the samples at the end of the track. I believed this DMCA was sent by mistake, but I was personally scared to act.
In an attempt to abide by it, I removed the MLP samples from the final track and uploaded the edited version. The only place to download the original version was the Pony Music Archive, where I uploaded the album months before. I realized recently that I didn't have to edit it because whoever sent the DMCA probably thought I was uploading copyrighted music when I wasn't. I uploaded original music that all the contributors to the album created and helped with. I felt like it was sent in error.
After the Pony Music Archive shut down, I decided it was time to reupload this version of the track. I feel like it's the best thing I can do because I want to make sure my tracks survive the passage of time, even if I ever leave the fandom.
As a Bandcamp exclusive, here is the unedited version of Sisters Forever.
Love you all.

A few lessons for life sis
A few important rules to teach your sister:
• Travel light through life. Keep only what you need.
• It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt. It’s also okay to smash (some) things; but, wash your face, clean your mess & get up off the floor when you’re done. You don’t belong down there.
• Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
• 5-second rule. It’s just dirt. There are worse things in a fast food cheeseburger.
• You’re a woman, you don’t NEED a man- but it’s ok to want the right one.
• Happiness is not a permanent state, it takes intentional effort everyday.
• Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice.
• Never, ever walk through an alley alone!
• Be less sugar, more spice, and only as nice as you’re able to without compromising yourself.
• CAN’T is a cop-out, set your goals high.
• If you can’t smile with your eyes, don’t smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.
• Never lie to yourself.
• Your body, your rules.
• Ask for what you want. The worst thing they can say is no.
• Wish on stars & dandelions, then get to WORK to make them happen.
• Stay as sweet as you are.
• Fall in love with music, memories, literature, food & travel.
• Take lots of pictures along the way.
• Say Please, Thank You & I’m Sorry whenever the situation warrants it.
• Naps are for grown-ups too.
• Question everything, except your own INTUITION.
• You have enough, you are enough.
• You’re AMAZING! Don't let anyone ever make you feel you’re not. If someone does... walk away. You deserve better. Never forget that!
• No matter where you are, you can always come home... ALWAYS!!
• Say what you mean & mean what you say.
• No one will ever LOVE YOU more than I do.
• Be kind; treat others how you would like them to treat you.
• Love you sister.
