Friendship Through the Ages is a song featured in the My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks animated encore short of the same name, which leads up to the third Equestria Girls film installment, Friendship Games.[7] It is performed by the Rainbooms. The short and song were uploaded to the Hasbro Studios Shorts YouTube channel on April 1, 2015[8] before being made private and separately reuploaded on April 3, 2015,[9] both times alongside My Past is Not Today and Life is a Runway; Hasbro's My Little Pony Facebook page uploaded on April 29, 2015,[10] and the Hasbro Studios Shorts YouTube channel uploaded a sing-along on May 6, 2015.[11] The short uses the "rockin' hairstyle" appearances of six Rainbooms.[12] Rainbooms Remix, which was released months earlier, contains snippets of the song.
It serves as the first track on the soundtrack album My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
Animated short synopsis[]
The Rainbooms lead Sunset Shimmer on a magical musical journey through the ages. The short begins with Twilight Sparkle playing the piano on a classical stage. Fluttershy then takes Sunset through a hilly field and Sunset blows the seeds off a dandelion. Rarity then appears in her Sgt. Pepper-esque outfit from Rainbow Rocks in a psychedelic background, and Sunset sprouts from a flower. Rainbow Dash then takes over with a metal-style verse as Sunset crowd surfs. Applejack then sings a country-style verse on a farm while Sunset rides a horse and line-dances with her. Pinkie Pie then sings a techno-pop style verse as Sunset vectors onto a grid. All of the Rainbooms sing two more choruses, joined by Sunset. They conclude the song in a group hug.
Lyrics[]
- [Twilight Sparkle]
- Nothing stays the same for long
- But when it changes doesn't mean it's gone
- Time will always get away
- As it leaves behind another day
- [Fluttershy]
- Things may come and things may go
- Some go fast and some go slow
- Few things last, that's all I know
- But friendship carries on through the ages
- [Rarity and Fluttershy]
- Things may come and things may go
- Some go fast and some go slow
- Few things last, that's all I know
- But friendship carries on through the ages
- [Rainbow Dash]
- Been around for a long time
- Rocking out hard 'cause I'm in my prime
- Maybe it'll change further down the line
- But my friendship carries on through the ages
- [Applejack]
- Every single style has something
- Different it can say
- There's nothing wrong with being unique
- And special in your own way
- [Pinkie Pie]
- Maybe you wanna be a pop star
- Get your fifteen minutes of fame, wha, ah! Ah, oh!
- That won't last forever
- But friendship remains the same, ah-oh, oh!

- Ohhh-oh, carries on...
