The band's act consisted of singing operatic versions of contemporary songs, including "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Creep" and "Everybody Hurts", and arrangements of popular operatic pieces, such as "Nessun Dorma", and "La donna è mobile".
Naturally gifted performers who were formally trained at the Guildhall School of Music, G4 originally met as a busking group who sang live across London to earn money and experience. Jon saw an advert for the X-Factor auditions and applied on a whim. They delivered great performances and wowed a captivated audience week after week, and the rest is history.
Following a spectacular rise to fame, their hugely successful debut album " G4" entered the UK album charts at Number 1, selling an amazing 245,000 in its first week alone. It has since been certified double platinum and has now sold in excess of 700,000 copies.
The Last Song
G4 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As light as straw and brittle as a bird
Today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall
Just one more whisper of a voice unheard
Tomorrow leave your windows open
As fear grows please hold me in your arms
Won't you help me if you can to shake this anger
'Cause I never thought I'd lose
I only thought I'd win
I never dreamed I'd feel
This fire beneath my skin
I can't believe you love me
I never thought you'd come
I guess I misjudged love
Between a father and his son
Things we never said come together
The hidden truth no longer haunting me
Tonight we touched on the things that were never spoken
That kind of understanding sets me free
'Cause I never thought I'd lose
I only thought I'd win
I never dreamed I'd feel
This fire beneath my skin
I can't believe you love me
I never thought you'd come
I guess I misjudged love
Between a father and his son
The lyrics of G4's song "The Last Song" suggest a story of reconciliation and forgiveness between a father and his son. The song is an emotional and honest account of a relationship that has been strained and hurtful in the past. The first verse describes the son's feelings of fragility and weightlessness, contrasted with the father's role as a lifter and supporter. The second verse seems to indicate a turning point, as the son reaches out for help and the father responds with love and comfort. The most poignant moment of the song is the bridge, where the son expresses his surprise and gratitude at the father's love, having previously "misjudged" it. It's a powerful moment of vulnerability and acceptance, showing the possibility of healing even in the most difficult and painful relationships.

I was actually expecting the return of G4 to take place in between the events of The Ending of The End and The Last Problem (the future). Just like what some fans say now, yes. Maybe we will have more of our questions be answered. Like:
• How is Twilight handling her new responsibilities as ruler of Equestria?
• Will there ever be new threats along with old villains? Like Grogar? Or will there probably just be new villains?
• Can there be a epic crossover with Equestria Girls & Friendship is Magic crossing dimensions? Letting us know how that spin-off series will end?
• Are we going to finally see Flurry Heart grow and take responsibility at the Crystal Empire and becoming the next princess in the royal line??
• Will there be more plots with the CMC’s and Young Six from seasons 8-9, as we watch them grow up like they all were in the series finale?
• (and most importantly), Are fanfic ships finally going to be revealed? Like how Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich tied the knot and made Little Cheesy, and if there will ever be more saucy/romantic moments in the g4 comeback with the AppleDash, Sparity, Fluttercord, and perhaps StarBurst ships that we need to see happen? MORE ADULT HUMOR!! MORE ADULT HUMOR!!
I’m just praying for this lady who will bring the show back to research and keep track of what we’re asking for and make it happen so that we could finally settle things with this fourth generation! I mean make all these pony characters into the Avengers for all I care!! 😅 There’s more to tell with this, and the book shouldn’t had closed after season 9’s wrap up! The Last Problem was a huge time skip!! They need to fill in the big blank. But why does g4 have to come back to season 4?! WHY NOT SEASON 3???!! That season needs more episodes!! Idk! As long as we get to see more of the mane six who we all know and adore so much!! What I’m praying for them to do is making sure Spike gets a tremendous update on his maturity and way of thinking!!
This is all I have to say for right now. I’m just excited for G4’s return. Let me know how you all can reflect on all of this.

I think it’s great that Lauren Faust is finally going to get to see the show how she originally planned it, in terms of Twilight’s character arc. I personally gave up on G5 (mostly Tell Your Tale) ages ago, but I’d definitely get back into watching the show if G4 was ‘revived’.
My one concern for G4’s revival is this … PLEASE LET ALL THE ORIGINAL VOICE ACTORS RESUME THEIR ROLES!!!! I do not want what happened after A New Generation to happen to the even more beloved G4 characters!
…
I’m watching this video on 8th April, and just seen it’s upload date … 😂 you really had me there MLP Fever!

Thank you finally. Forget it back generation 4A. I'm happy actually. Identity my generation 5 with its story ideas. But when you come down to it, it just, it felt like a cardboard copy of generation four. I love the main six. There were all amazing ponies. Each of them, I have one thing in common with each of them, and I love them so much. Seen spike at a low dragon. Discord, Twilight, Luna, everybody. Ohh, my god. Or should I say, Oh, my pony. Finally, finally. I'm very happy about that, actually, honestly, because I see a different route, a different style, that it's going to be awesome. I can't wait.
