Wish You Were Here
 
Music: Terry Sampson  
Lyrics: Lorraine Feather
 
a. (Rarity the Unicorn, voiced by Cathy Weseluck)
 
How we wish you were here,  
If you could appear right here, what fun!  
How we wish you were here,  
To play in the all day sun!
 
May we… de-deedle-dee… de dee-deedle-dee,  
Make one thing clear?  
We do… do-doodle-do… wish you-doodle-do  
Were here!
 
b. (Cheerilee, voiced by Tracey Moore)
 
This is where rainbows all are born,  
Try asking any unicorn.
 
La laa la, laa-ly lally loo,  
Every unicorn knows it’s true!
 
c. (Rainbow Dash, voiced by Venus Terzo)
 
Our crystal carriage is nice and wide  
If you were here, we all could ride.
 
So shi-i-i-iny, so wi-i-ide,  
We know you’d love the ri-i-ide.
 
Parts
 
All parts sing their verses normally, but the parts interleave and repeat. Rarity’s is sung at about twice the rate of Cheerilee’s and Rainbow Dash’s.
 
The main animated Wish You Were Here song has the following arrangement, which is so very nearly the numbers 1 to 7 in binary notation. However, a musical interval steals the 6, and I now realize that this is what was bugging me all along.
 
1 2 4  
a     = 1  
  b   = 2  
a b   = 3  
    c = 4  
a   c = 5  
     aaargh! Missing 6!  
a b c = 7
 
Rainbow Dash’s part is rather quiet in the final bit, but it’s there. The end credits have a different, simpler arrangement:
 
a      
  b    
    c  
a b c

Your orchestral adaption of this song really brightened my days!  
Especially did I love the Rarity’s part.
What I don’t get is who’s Howie, and why do they wish he was there?

If I weren’t on hold with the US government right now I would be rushing over so hard to find your work and listen to it.
I mapped this thing mentally when I did my orchestral arrangement of this song.

Hah! I’ve mapped this out myself, so that I could try to sing parts that weren’t being sung through the whole song (except the last part of course) but I never expected anyone to do the same and post it.
