“I was never running away, I was racing to the dreams in my head. I found a faith that you’d never believe, from sewing all the wounds we bled.”

What was important to me about this final song was capturing that feeling like you’ve gotten a lot of shit off your chest and revolutionized your perspective of the world. I’ve gotten so used to writing expansive and operatic stories that I realized I had been neglecting to examine more realistic emotions and problems. I feel like “THE KID WHO KEPT RUNNING” is like a sendoff that’s positive but still open ended, like it’s saying ‘we made it, but we should do this again sometime, this whole getting through our problems thing.’

The lyrics to this song were written as if Scootaloo was writing to the CMC after going separate ways to live their own truths and dreams. I projected a lot of the doubts and taunts I’ve faced as phrases that I respond to in the stanzas. Confronting those things through Scootaloo’s character feels like I really was able to give her the voice she wanted the world to hear.

  • It was a big big honor drawing the cover for this song TwT All the album is incredible and you are suuuch a talented person!!! 💓💓💓💓 Your songs and music are sooooo incredible!!! >W< Pls keep making songs about life <33333
  • @TOH_Fan
    “Why would I use the name you gave for me when I can make a name for myself?” The power behind this line is unimaginable.
  • @VyletPony
    Fun fact, the section at 3:03 samples every single song off of CUTIEMARKS, including "THE KID WHO KEPT RUNNING" itself. It samples all the songs in the order they come in the tracklist as well!
  • @VyletPony
    Thank you everyone so much for the incredible support and love for this album <3 Let's go have another one.
  • @fluffywolfo3663
    I have a friend who says I'm one of the few people he interacted with that really seemed to have been changed by MLP Fim, who really engaged with it and tried to be a better person because of it. (Party of One was the first one that really affected me tbh) I'm just saying this because... the ways you've been affected by MLP, the level of meaning it has in your life, that's leagues above how it's affected me. I'm naw a music critic, but if I was, I'd have a rave review about how every song of yours drips with meaning, personality, and connection to this show. Tha's why I so often find myself coming back here - the passion, the sheer amount of yourself that you put into this work is impossible not to respect.
  • @TecnaPony
    One thing I love about this album is that a lot of the songs seamlessly transition from one to another. And this song also seamlessly transitions to the first song.
  • @44tharia46
    the pure catharsis of this closing track makes complete listens of this album so addicting (i’ve done so like 7 times now) fuckin incredible work, trixie. thank you.
  • @khaliber
    This song speaks to me in such an amazing away. I was bullied a lot for my interests so I was always afraid to express myself when I was younger. But now, I recently left my home to pursue my dream career and I finally feel comfortable with who I am. So every time listen to this, it always find myself almost tearing up. Thanks so much for this song!
  • This album has a very special place in my heart idk but when you published every track here, most of the songs fit with how I felt at that moment, the stuff I was struggling with and specially with accepting myself, I have so much stuff to say and analyze with all of the songs, but all I can say now is thank you so much for this ❤️ it was an awesome trip that gave me the company and comfort I needed during quarantine keep doing amazing stuff as always
  • This song made me cry... Hard. I love all of your music, Vylet, and I'm so happy I found your songs. They were the words I needed to hear at the time. Even if you quit eventually making pony music, I'll always follow your musical career and honestly anything you decide to get into!! Also, Sing a song about life :)
  • Such a beautiful and terrific song as usual Vylet, once again the music and vocals are just breathtaking and magnificent and i especially love that the story for this song is about Scootaloo continuing her own destiny even though the CMC's have gone their separate ways, anyway you did an a truly astounding and fabulous job putting this gem of a song together phenomenal work!!!
  • @retroorange5239
    Это было великолепно! Добавляем в плейлист и ждём новых шедевров! Спасибо за классный контент✨
  • @waffles.4368
    Man, Today was real rough, But I come home, I shower, and finally get to relax a little and nothing cheers me up like your music, I had an argument with my father about buying a car today, and at work I got hit in the head by accident. So finally coming home and listening to your amazing works, truly helps me keep my head screwed on, rearing for whatever life's gonna hurl my way.
  • @thevoidyet
    Didn't even realize this was dropping today, was jamming out to some of your other music & this started on autoplay and I was just like "huh, haven't heard this one before". Thanks so much for this amazing album and all the songs about life, Vylet. I can't wait for Fish Whisperer, keep up the awesome work! <3
  • @daspacepony
    I keep coming back to this song in my library as it really sums up the entire Cutiemarks listening experience well and fuels my brain full with video ideas.
  • @sunbirth4795
    And thus the album concludes on the best note possible. God I cant wait to finish my write up of this.
  • God damn, this album was a wacky and amazing Journey, Thank you Vylet and to everyone that helped her with this masterpiece. I'll definitely be playing this album on repeat
  • @SPRIGHTLYMAIDEN
    you did such a wonderful job on this album, quickly becoming a all time favorite of mine, I've listen to this album so many times to cope with school and honestly I wouldn't have it any other way. I've been listening since lesbians with weapons and I'm so glad I kept listening. I'm very excited for the next album =:]]
