B.B.B.F.F.

B.B.B.F.F., which stands for Big Brother, Best Friend Forever, is a song that features in the episode A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1. Twilight Sparkle first sings it when she explains to her friends that her best brother in the world, Shining Armor, was the only pony she trusted as a friend before she was sent to Ponyville. Later in the episode, when she was afraid she had 'lost a brother' because of an argument, she sings a somber, much shorter reprise. The song is notable in being Twilight's first solo song in the show's history.

Development
The song's composer, Daniel Ingram, used a cadence known as a "deceptive cadence" rather than an "authentic cadence" at the last cadence point in this song as an "inside joke", though this information is irrelevant to B.B.B.F.F.

Lyrics

 * [Twilight Sparkle]


 * When I was just a filly, I found it rather silly
 * To see how many other ponies I could meet
 * I had my books to read, didn't know that I would ever need
 * Other ponies to make my life complete


 * But there was one colt that I cared for
 * I knew he would be there for me


 * My big brother, best friend forever!
 * Like two peas in a pod, we did everything together


 * He taught me how to fly a kite (Best friend forever!)
 * We never had a single fight (We did everything together!)
 * We shared our hopes, we shared our dreams
 * I miss him more than I realized
 * It seems...


 * [Rest of main six]
 * Your big brother, best friend forever
 * Like two peas in a pod, you did everything together


 * [Twilight Sparkle]
 * And though he's, oh, so far away
 * I hoped that he would stay
 * My big brother best friend
 * Forever...
 * Forever...

Reprise

 * [Twilight Sparkle]


 * He was my big brother, best friend
 * Forever...
 * And now, we'll never do anything
 * Together...
