Happy 10th, "Friendship"!

Today marks exactly ten years since one of the fandom's most enduring songs was uploaded to YouTube. Aviators may have long since moved on from his days of making MLP tracks, but "Friendship" remains a classic and probably always will. The song tells the story of a future where there are stresses between friends like the members of the Mane Six, though as Aviators notes it's not about anypony specific. In essence, it's saying that friendship can be tough, but that it's also worth fighting for. The song itself has the classic Aviators synths, as well as his own perfectly poppy voice. I've embedded the YouTube version for convenience, but I do feel it sounds just slightly muddy, so you may prefer to listen to the remastered Bandcamp version.

One final note: four years later, Aviators referred back to this track in his song "Meet You at the End". See if you can spot the reference when it arrives. It's not hard!
