Preferably male. And British. :3 'Cause I really wanna post this on Youtube. :nod:

Song description from here:
"Doctor Whooves version of ponyphonic's beautiful Lullaby for a Princess. I also borrowed elements from MsIkarishipper's Luna's Reply.

I'm a huge fan of Doctor Whooves, and after listening to the original song several times, I knew I had to write a Doctor Whooves version. The premise is that the Doctor is mourning the loss of his kind, even though he knows he had to seal them in a time lock in order to prevent them from tearing the universe apart."


If you or someone you know is male, has a British accent and can sing decently, please please PLEASE let me know!! :D :3

Anywho, here's the song. :)



Time has been cruel and knowledge unkind
How can I have locked you away?
The blame was your own; the punishment, mine 
Gallopfrey's silent today

Now into the stillness I keep trav'ling on
With no one my comp'ny to keep
The deed I have done to save all of time
Has wounded my hearts much too deep

Once did a pony who traveled so far
Look out on all of space and time
He smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
So lucky and so very brilliant as I"

So great was the pow'r of his ponies, the Time Horses
That when "To war, now!" they cried
The shadow they cast swept the whole universe
And grew ever darker as centuries died

Lullay my ponies, goodbye Gallopfrey
Rest now from war and from pain
Would that my lullaby could reach you now
Through matter, through time, and through space
May my apologies find you somehow
And carry my sorrow in kind
My home, my friends, and my loved ones are gone
Why must you have all been so blind?

Soon did that pony take notice that the war
Was tearing apart space and time
And neither had either side stopped to consider
How ending it now would be helping both sides

But such is the weight of the knowledge he'd gathered
His morals he had to uphold
And faced with the end of the whole universe
He trapped them in time with a permanent hold

Lullay my ponies, goodbye Gallopfrey
Rest now from war and from pain
Would that my lullaby could reach you now
Through matter, through time, and through space
May my apologies find you somehow
And carry my sorrow in kind
My home, my friends, and my loved ones are gone
Their memories haunting my mind
Oh why must you have all been so blind?

The years now before me
Empty and alone
I never imagined
I'd face them on my own

May this choice that I've made
Lead to brighter days
I love you; I miss you
Forgive me, I pray

May all your dreams be sweet and light
Safe and sealed away from pain and strife
And know not of sadness, grief, or care
And when I dream, I'll fly away and see you there
Sleep, sleep,
Sleep...

I could possibly offer my services. I may not be much of a singer, but I can pull off a British accent quite... *Accented* suavely. If need be I could provide a couple of voice clips of my accent, but as my recording "equipment" is just a $25 Logitech headset and Audacity, I doubt I could be of much help in this project.

Just thought I could do something in my spare time.  X3

EDIT: Actually, I just remembered I have a soundboard and everything else buried in a closet, so I might be able to help a little after all!

Well, I have to make them first, and I don't exactly have the time today, but perhaps tomorrow I can get you some samples!
