Awesome Music / Centaurworld

As a musical comedy, it's no secret that Centaurworld's soundtrack is one banger after the other, backed up by the help of some amazingly talented Broadway stars and singers, with songs that are simply impossible not to rave along to.

---

• The very first song in the show, "Rider's Lullaby", is the Signature Song of Horse and Rider, showing how they stick with it through thick and thin, and how they reassure one another that no matter what happens, they'll be okay in the end. It's sung quite frequently throughout the show, usually during its most emotional moments.
• The Establishing Series Moment in orchestral form, "Centaurworld", is an incredibly upbeat, high-tempo song sung by the Herd as they welcome Horse to Centaurworld, that really showcases the vibrant and joyous nature of the place.
• "Spells for Days" is a peppy tune sung by the Herd in response to Horse asking what spells are.
• "Hello Rainbow Road", which Horse uses to convince the Herd to leave the safety of the dome to explore the world instead, gives the feeling of the excitement that comes when you're about to embark on a grand adventure.
• "Fragile Things" is a duet sung by both Horse and Wammawink as they debate over whose leadership is better, and they harmonize wonderfully. It also encapsulates their respective personalities and world views perfectly.
• "Taurnado" is a terrifying song that plays during a particularly tense moment when a sentient, singing tornado chases down the Herd. What really steals the show is the voice of the Taurnado itself, which truly does sound like the voices of many creatures sucked into it, as it beckons the Herd to join its Mind Hive.
• "The Key" is sung by Waterbaby when explaining the adventure that lies ahead and what Horse needs to do to return home. Never has exposition been delivered in such an incredible showstopper.
• "The Nowhere King" has gone down as the most unforgettably spine-chilling song in the show, and with damned good reason. It's a slow, whispery lullaby about an Eldritch Abomination who takes pleasure in bringing death and destruction wherever he goes.
• "It's Hidin' Time" is a jaunty bluegrass country tune sung by a bunch of woodland critters warning the Herd about a danger lurking in the woods.
• "I Don't Know Him", the hip-hop song sung by Zulius and Splendib, just exudes sass in every verse.
• "Who is She?", sung by Horse during the final phase of Johnny Teatime's Be Best Competition, is an absolutely stellar pop-rock song that swells into an even more spellbinding tune halfway through when Horse stops pretending to be someone she's not for the sake of winning and reveals to the crowd exactly who she is. It's arguably the song where Kimiko Glenn's vocal range truly comes to shine.
• The reprise of "Who Is She? (Reprise)" and "Fragile Things (Reprise)" are two massive Tear Jerkers, for different reasons.
  • The former is a suicide note in song form, Horse feeling like she doesn't deserve Rider now that she's forgotten her face, and the latter is a triumphant You Are Not Alone response. Adding to the tragedy of "Who Is She? (Reprise)" is the Dark Reprise of lyrics from "Hello Rainbow Road". Only this time, instead of feeling optimistic and hopeful, it's an admission of utter despair. The last lines are particularly heartbreaking before she makes her jump.
    I think I should go into the unknown
    So say bye to the old
  • The latter is a song about The Power of Love from Wammawink to remind Horse and everyone else inside the Whaletaur not to give into despair, and to remember that even when it feels like nothing will get better, hope can still be found. It also serves to remind Horse that Wammawink and the Herd love her as one of their own.
    Even an orphaned baby girl
    Can find a new herd of her own
    And a warrior from a different world
    Can find love so far from home
• "The Hero of My Story (Comfortable Doug)" is part of a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment where Comfortable Doug the moletaur pops out of nowhere and starts recounting his life story to the Herd just as Horse is getting ready to head back to the human world, but it's simply too catchy for words.
• "I've Been Searching for You" is sung when Horse and Rider finally reunite. It starts off with Horse using "Rider's Lullaby" to convince Rider of her identity and then transitions into pure heartwarming, where the two just rejoice in having found their best friend after being so worried about them. It really goes to show the unconditional love between them.
• "Nothing Good", a bombastic Villain Song by the Mysterious Woman who alludes to her own mysterious past by espousing that Love Is a Weakness and how the only way to be safe is to lock up your emotions.
• "Nowhere King Battle" is a combination of nightmarish when the Nowhere King finally shows up and sings a rendition of the "The Nowhere King" while trying to murder Horse and Rider, and then triumphant when the Herd arrives to save their friends.
• "Separate Ways", a reunion vow song between Horse and Rider, admitting their shared love for one another, their sadness at having to go their separate ways so soon after finding each other, and their promise to be reunited again once their work is done.
• The Centaurworld Season 1 Recap Song has Horse filling in the centaurs on what happened until now in an attempt to recruit them to fight the Nowhere King.
• “Breathe in a Bag”, in which Glendale delivers a seminar about managing anxiety through a catchy and rousing Patter Song.
• "Becky Apples" is an epic diss track towards Rider’s new horse... among others.
• "Who Was She", a melancholy song where Horse wonders what her friends will say about her now that she's sacrificed herself and reflects on the journey she's taken.
• "Hootenanny Chorale" is a reprise of "Centaurworld", this time led by Horse and joined by all of Centaurworld, highlighting Horse's growth over the course of the show and the herd's success in building an army for Centaurworld.
• "The Legend of Flat Dallas", the western themed song performed by Comfortable Doug about his cowboy persona, brings much needed levity to the dramatic finale.
• "Elk Tour Suite, Pt. 1 & 2", "Pt. 3 & 4", "Pt. 5" and "Pt. 6" highlight the tragedy of the Nowhere King by detailing the circumstances that led to his transformation from normal centaur to world-ending monster.
• "General's Battle Song" is a fast-paced call to battle which illustrates the General's confidence and why others follow him. Doubles as a Villain Song after the twist, with lyrics subtly hinting at the General's true nature.
• "Battle Round" plays at the height of the final battle and brings together all the songs associated with each member of the herd. This includes Horse and Wammawink's portions of "Fragile Things", Glendale's "Breathe in a Bag", Durpleton's "Where Does Food Come From", Zulius's "I Don't Know Him" and Ched's "My Very Favorite Time of Day".
• "Last Lullaby, Pt. 1" is delivered by the Woman to the Elktaur (with both his elk and human voice actors contributing). It's sung to the melody of "The Nowhere King" and serves as an Alas, Poor Villain for a character both monstrous and tragic. It also combines the voices of three top-tier Broadway talents in Lea Salonga, Brian D'Arcy James, and Brian Stokes Mitchell.
• "Last Lullaby, Pt. 2" is a powerful Tear Jerker between Horse and Rider after Rider is seemingly mortally wounded, incorporating parts of "I've Been Searching for You" and "Rider's Lullaby".
• "The Next Thing" is a hopeful, heartwarming song with cameos from multiple supporting characters as Horse, Rider and the herd voice their affection towards each other and optimistically embark on a brand new journey.
