Alicia Keys - Brand New Me (Rainbow Dash)by ~impala99

Designs & Interfaces / CD Covers

This AK pony album cover re-take was conceived a few days before I started making this one (on the day in which, according to the Mayans, the world would end on December 21st, 2012). My mind was flashing through different pictures of Wonderbolt Academy, then shifted to Rainbow Dash's character development and evolution throughout the series. The three elements just locked together and I couldn't wait to design this sort-of "masterpiece." It was coming together in a way that was... very... unique.

Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.

- Steve Jobs

Never in my entire life on dA that I had come up with such an incredible concept like this, with Keys' song to go with it and a pegasus who's on a quest for self-discovery... I think. I don't think there's anything else to say right now. Just... wow... what a concept.

This one's for you, Dashie.

It's been a while;
I'm not who I was before.
You look surprised;
your words don't burn me anymore.

Been meanin' to tell ya,
but I guess it's clear to see...
Don't be mad; it's just a brand new kinda me.
Can't be bad; I found a brand new kinda free...

Careful with your ego;
he's the one that we should blame.
Had to grab my heart back;
God knows something had to change...

I thought that you'd be happy;
I found the one thing I need!
Why you mad?
It's just a brand new kinda me...

It took a long, long time to get here;
it took a brave, brave girl to try...
It took one too many excuses, one too many lies!
Don't be surprised, don't be surprised...

If I talk a little louder,
if I speak up when you're wrong;
if I walk a little taller,
I've been under you too long...

If you notice that I'm different,
don't take it personally!
Don't be mad; it's just a brand new kinda me.
That ain't bad; I found a brand new kinda free...

Ohhoh, it took a long, long road to get here;
it took a brave, brave girl to try!
I've taken one too many excuses, one too many lies!
Don't be surprised... ohh, said you look surprised...

HEY-EY-EY! If you were a friend,
you'd wanna get to know me again!
If you were worth the while,
you'd be happy to see me smile!

I'm not expecting "Sorry,"
I'm too busy finding myself!
I got this!
I found me, I found me... YEAH!

I don't need your opinion, I'm not waiting for your okay.
I'll never be perfect, but at least now I'm brave.
I know my heart is open,
I can finally breathe...

Don't be mad; it's just a brand new kinda free.
That ain't bad; I found a brand new kinda me...
Don't be mad; it's a brand new time for me...
Yeah...
