Finally - Forest Interlude! It's been a long time coming since this is one of my favorite songs, from my favorite composer, from my all-time favorite game. :) Hope you're having a good December so far!
My December just got better hehe This song is heavenly beautiful, Michelle. You sound just like an angel here. It lifts my spirit. Thanks for sharing this one.
1:33 - 1:53 Did you really just do that in one take!? That's not an easy 30 seconds to play! Many have steered clear of this song because of that part and stuck to Stickerbrush Symphony instead! I like to play by ear too, but I would have to slow down the song to catch all those notes! Goodness! Thumbs up again! This is my favorite song from the entire series.
I keep forgetting about this song even though it’s from my favorite game OST. You really did this one justice. Your cover is so hauntingly beautiful I can’t get it out of my head. Some of those final measures bring nostalgic sadness and longing to the fore of my emotions…in a good way.
I love how you smile from the lower left area of the video at 0:42 because you know how badass was the thing you just did, this is my favorite DKC2 theme and your version is magnificent. Congratulations!!
Here I am, 7 years after I first heard this cover, brought back after a random memory gave me the urge to look it up again. Thank you for taking the time to create this cover, and for sharing it with the world!
Eu sempre choro quando ouço essa melodia. David colocou algo muito especial nesta composição. Algo que invoca saudades de uma época boa e de pureza onde tudo era mais simples. Tudo era divertido. Uma época que ficou pra trás. Uma época que não volta mais. Muito obrigado moça por esta homenagem a um dos games que foram um alento pra mim em minha infância!
Nice I love that you continued to be doing several DKC2 covers over the years. It makes me happy someone can share appreciation for David Wise's composition skills and even happier someone covers them this awesomely!
as a huge nintendo nerd who spends a lot of his time on youtube listening to remixes, covers, and the like of nintendo songs, and also as someone whose favorite game (and soundtrack!) is DKC2 too, it absolutely *baffles* me how I haven't come across your content sooner. It's AMAZINGLY good, and I loved every bit of this reimagining. You seem to have covered all of the best tracks from DKC2, and I'm going to give those a look soon, but the sheer quality of this one gives me no doubt that they will also amaze me. You've well earned a subscribe and a bell.
Finally! I was waiting for this one, that's a nice early christmas present. Love how you put little snippets of other songs from the game in your covers. Thanks for the work you do and share with us, have a nice and great christmas time! :)
Oh man this was so awesome! I love how calming it was, and the percussion section complimented the piano so awesomely. One of my favorite covers of yours, for sure!
Amazing! DKC 2 music is something that touches my heart and soul. This cover of the Forest interlude continues that feeling. Thank you for making a great piece of music!!!
This is so beautiful... I'm gonna cry...you have such a wonderful voice and it adds so much to this piece of music. One of my favorites, Forest Interlude is severely underrated. Thank you so much for this magnificent video, gave me such a smile :)
I loved all the greens in the video, and I don't just mean the visuals. You made the music green and alive! You captured that forest feeling, thanks so much for sharing! 💚
with so much practice you advanced in piano to this point and even more i think, im impressed, still being an inspiration for me and a reference of my favorite game soundtrack.
My favorite song in the game. And this cover is awesome! I just recently 100%ed this game for the first time... and now this cover makes me want to play it again. Instant favorite :) You've done 5 songs from this game and there's still so many fantastic ones left to cover! The more I listen to this soundtrack, the more I love it. Mining Melancholy or In A Snow-Bound Land next, perhaps? Are the piano notes at 1:31 a reference to another DKC2 song? It sounded like it, but I couldn't quite place them. -David
I like to think of myself as a very balanced person: I don’t throw random “OMG best ... ever, love it!”. I do believe in the power of words and I try to use them appropriately. Said so, this is simply the most beautiful cover of the most beautiful piece of any soundtrack, and even if I don’t know you I think I can safely say that you’re a beautiful person
I lobe the background you used! So pretty, just like you and your voice. I've never played DK Country but with all the covers everyone does it is definitely on my log of games to play soon! I love all your covers and this is no exception. It's amazing you do all of this by ear. Brava my dear VGM friend!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed what I did here :) Yesss I hope you play soon! You'll love it. I appreciate your kind words, my friend. Happy new year!
Ah - so this was it. After hearing about this on Twitter, I've been waiting for this. This'll be great to play while studying for finals. I dig the geometric layout!
best part of the video is that you are really into the song and feeling it into the deepest part of your soul as can seen on the piano shoot, love this cover a lot! cheers
Awwwwww yessss! I know for sure I had commented in hopes to hear a full version of this when you used a bit in a previous DKC song! Thank you so much; a beautiful tune and a beautiful rendition! :)
Just found your channel - you are an incredibly talented musician! DKC 1 & 2 are probably my two favorite game soundtracks. I've listened to a lot of different covers/remixes for them, and yours are among the best. Your music provides a fresh new musical take on these songs while remaining remarkably true to the originals. Sound quality is very good too. Well done!
Another stellar cover! I am really starting to notice the great editing features you are putting into your new videos as well! Love this game to death, which makes this cover no exception. Got hit with a spike of nostalgia which majes me wanna play the game one more time. Before I do that, let me say happy holidays and I look forward to more videos!
Hey, my friend! Thank you so much, I appreciate that you're noticing my editing :D I'm really glad you enjoyed this video. Happy happy new year to you! :D
Wow. I used to fantasize in class when I was a kid about this song. The ghost ropes sound effect added to the ambience so well. I think that this song, and the music in this game is what got me into music in the first place. This was a beautiful cover. Thanks
AWESOME. I love the twist that your background vocals gives all of these classics and makes them fresh once again! I've heard dozens of remixes to this Dave Wise masterpiece and this is one of my all-time favorites. I especially liked the reverb and resonance from the piano - it makes me wish I was in the woods, earbuds in, lost to nature and nostalgia. Looks like you enjoyed making it, too! :) Keep it up!
Perdi as contas de quantas vezes escutei sua música. David Wise é um gênio, e tu conseguiu transmitir a felicidade que eu sentia jogando e escutando a trilha sonora de DK2. Perfect song, u and David Wise are the bests, awesome. Love u from BR 🇧🇷
Nostalgia! thank you so much @michelleheafy ! glad to see other people who love this stuff and would be great to have friends who share the same thoughts, so love playing this game and ive made it above 100% 101 to 103 i think.. finding all the DK coins.
Oh geez. This one was recomended to me once again today despite I've already watched couple of months ago. Just want you to say the giantest thank you ever for your hearttaking covers! Just, oh, I'm diving into another world every time I hear your works.
That was really beautiful. I love video game music and piano, I listen to all of your covers when I'm studying. When I want to be angry, I listen to your brother's music, and when I want to be relaxed and happy I listen to yours lol. Your videos inspire me to practice music more.
Thank you so much! It's cool to hear that you listen while you're studying, and also that these videos can help to inspire you. :) And haha awesome - I'm glad you enjoy both of our music! Happy studying and music making to you :)
Michelle your job is simply amazing! I’m really have a lot of good feelings watching (and hearing lol) your videos and all your production on all songs. Please keep doing that and we all will appreciate forever! Kind regards, Aaron from Sao Paulo/Brazil.
This song is so beautiful. Forest Interlude is one of my favorite songs. Awesome job Michelle. And I would like to suggest Mining Melancholy to your next cover.
Thank you, Rodrigo! Definitely one of my favorite songs too for sure. I'm glad you liked my cover. I'm currently working on another song, but Mining Melancholy will definitely happen and is high on my list of songs to cover. :D
I just found this channel while being on a DKC kick lately. And of course you had to go and do my favorite song! Great vocal work, too! I don't hear a lot of that in covers, and I am really loving it.
this is quite cool! DKC2 was one of my childhood games, and I loved the music of the game, Forest Interlude being my favorite track from said game. this is only my personal experience, but there's something about how the tune starts and how it continues on that makes me think about how I've made it that far in the game, the music inspires me to keep going. anyway, this was a magnificent cover of the soundtrack! quite well done. :)
I loved this song too. The 3 games of Donkey kong country on Super nintendo are a part of my childhood and DKC 2 has the best soundrack. Dave wise is a great composer. You perfectly played this song and you are so beautifull
david wise is an underappreciated genius
Agreed! He's awesome.
Chris Dimaculangan i dont feel like hes underappreciated, everyone who plays the dkc games loves his music :)
He is a Wise man
I agree 100%
Time will do the job... We just have to be patient 😀
Finally - Forest Interlude! It's been a long time coming since this is one of my favorite songs, from my favorite composer, from my all-time favorite game. :) Hope you're having a good December so far!
Te quedó excelente !!
DKC2 es mi juego favorito de la saga del snes, tus melodías serian perfectas para un remake.
My December just got better hehe
This song is heavenly beautiful, Michelle. You sound just like an angel here. It lifts my spirit.
Thanks for sharing this one.
Oh! And I almost forgot!
Hugs from Brazil \o/
Wonderfull :')
I'm a "BIG" fan of your channel and I hope you continue with it. ;)
If nintendo/retro studios make another Donkey Kong game, I would love to hear such great music like this!
Me too. I have 100% all of the dkc games multiple times.
They brought back David Wise for Tropical Freeze
@@danapreble8691 but tropical freeze launched 8 yrs ago, we need a new game XD
1:33 - 1:53 Did you really just do that in one take!? That's not an easy 30 seconds to play! Many have steered clear of this song because of that part and stuck to Stickerbrush Symphony instead! I like to play by ear too, but I would have to slow down the song to catch all those notes! Goodness! Thumbs up again! This is my favorite song from the entire series.
1:17 - Hype for upper-left pupper! :D
Boo is so cuuute!
Haha yayy - Boo says thanks! :3
I keep forgetting about this song even though it’s from my favorite game OST. You really did this one justice. Your cover is so hauntingly beautiful I can’t get it out of my head. Some of those final measures bring nostalgic sadness and longing to the fore of my emotions…in a good way.
I love how you smile from the lower left area of the video at 0:42 because you know how badass was the thing you just did, this is my favorite DKC2 theme and your version is magnificent. Congratulations!!
1:53 - This Break Down is my Favorite part. It makes me feel like I'm camping out looking up in the 🌟 and the 🌙.
This was so beautiful and peaceful. I love this composition.
Here I am, 7 years after I first heard this cover, brought back after a random memory gave me the urge to look it up again. Thank you for taking the time to create this cover, and for sharing it with the world!
welcome back :) thank you so much for taking the time to write this kind and thoughtful comment. it means a lot!
This is amazing a true masterpiece of a cover! I hardly have words... that piano bit around 1:30 made my heart explode. Great work!!! 😢👌🏼
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! :D
Forest interlude, i love this song, Grongratulations for your talent.

Uma época que ficou pra trás. Uma época que não volta mais. Muito obrigado moça por esta homenagem a um dos games que foram um alento pra mim em minha infância!
Melhor interpretação, algo puro, principalmente no refrão, sempre lacrimejo ao escuta, esta é special.
Nice I love that you continued to be doing several DKC2 covers over the years. It makes me happy someone can share appreciation for David Wise's composition skills and even happier someone covers them this awesomely!

Man, you have such a beautiful voice. I love how your covers always have some kind of vocals.
Thanks so much, Scott! I'm glad you enjoy them :)
1:56, her smile when she nailed the fast piano part, good job, loved this cover
:D Thank you! So glad you enjoyed this.
Thanks for answering me, but hey, I always wanted to play this song, do you have any sheets?
I'd love to play this version of yours
No problem! Ah I don't have any sheets, all of my covers are done by ear. Thanks for asking though!
Thank you anyway, subbed for more epicness
Michelle, your interpretation is so great that I use this song in my cell phone for waking up to work every day! I love it!
Finally! I was waiting for this one, that's a nice early christmas present.
Love how you put little snippets of other songs from the game in your covers. Thanks for the work you do and share with us, have a nice and great christmas time! :)
10/10 Thanks. It is impossible to me to say how these songs help me. Greetings from Madrid
Yeah this gives me new "childhood" moments.. thanks very much
Michelle Heafy is literally the best thing to have happened to UA-cam by far!~
I can't believe how many times I keep coming back to your covers! Help me relax a lot!
Oh man this was so awesome! I love how calming it was, and the percussion section complimented the piano so awesomely. One of my favorite covers of yours, for sure!
Hey Crystal! I really appreciate your kind words!
Vocals at 1:44 I got chills. That riff is awesome as your voice! I replayed that part like 7 times.
Awesome, I'm glad you liked that part! Thank you, friend :)
Your piano talents are well showcased in This song. You ran those scales to perfection. Your expressions are honest when you sing.
Amazing! DKC 2 music is something that touches my heart and soul. This cover of the Forest interlude continues that feeling. Thank you for making a great piece of music!!!
This is the best rendition I've ever heard of this song. Phenomenal - from a fan of Forest Interlude to another...great job!
I remember commenting a while back on your facebook page how much I think you'd nail this song, and here we are! This is so good, Michelle. Well done.
Listening it for 6 years. Still totally in love.
Ahhh..! This song was so perfect for you! Such a beautiful version of this song! :'D Good job!!
This is really great! The editing is amazing and so is the song! I love the cover, it sounds very beautiful, good studying or relaxation music.
This is so beautiful... I'm gonna cry...you have such a wonderful voice and it adds so much to this piece of music. One of my favorites, Forest Interlude is severely underrated. Thank you so much for this magnificent video, gave me such a smile :)
Isso é uma verdadeira obra de arte! Parabéns moça pelo excelente som!
My favorite vocalist on UA-cam. Amazing as usual.
Just beat DKC returns. Nice time for this song!
That makes me happy. Thank you! :) Ah I loved DKC Returns!
Such amazing work you did
Respect, beautiful interpretation.
I loved all the greens in the video, and I don't just mean the visuals. You made the music green and alive! You captured that forest feeling, thanks so much for sharing! 💚
Natalie!!

The vocals fit perfectly in this track. More of that please.
Muito bom, som dos anjos
with so much practice you advanced in piano to this point and even more i think, im impressed, still being an inspiration for me and a reference of my favorite game soundtrack.
