Hey! I Here's another song from my favorite game and soundtrack - DKC 2! It was composed by the wonderful David Wise, and was inspired by/based on "Theme from Antarctica" by Vangelis! I've been wanting to cover this song for so long and I'm glad to finally share it. :)
Michelle... Will you marry me? I promise you I will learn to play an instrument and we will play video game songs till we became an old and adorable couple.
Michelle, this is so amazing. When I was seven years old, I saved up money for a whole year by doing chores around the house to buy a Super Nintendo. It came with DKC1. It took me a whole year to beat that game, and then one Christmas I got Donkey Kong Country 2. The first game was an unbelievable adventure and it was my favorite video game ever. I had no idea that DKC2 would be even better. DKC2 took me on a mystical voyage that lasted another whole year (I was a bad gamer so it took forever to beat games). It influenced my life in myriad ways. It made me interested in fantasy games and books. It also made me realize that music is a powerful emotional journey unto itself. Two decades later, I still listen to the soundtrack. I go on walks in the woods around my house with it. And when I found your channel last year, I started listening to your DK covers regularly. You are amazing, and I think it's so great to discover someone who loves that music as much as I do.
DKC2 was definitely one of my favorite games, too. I remember buying it while I was on a trip out of town and arriving back at home in the middle of the night because of weather delays. If you haven't played it yet, you definitely need to try "DKC: Tropical Freeze". I don't have a lot of time for games anymore, but it's one of the few retro games that really does justice to the original.
David Wise may be a genius, but the people he's inspired have so much skill and ability and its really heartwarming to see more work based on his scores. Keep up the amazing work!!
You made a British man actually feel. Caught the nods to Stickerbrush Symphony at 1:37 and Aquatic Ambience at 2:46 ;) Just...simply incredible. You are the only subscription of mine that I manually check, waiting for your next piece, to then only sit through a bunch of your music each time. As a VG composer myself, there's just something about your voice that runs over your songs like silk that I can only aspire to replicate in my own work! To echo the sentiment of others here, the Donkey Kong Country 2 soundtrack is truly something special and I do hope to see more covers for that from you! To both you and your brother, keep up the heavenly work!
@@michelleheafy You have a beautiful voice Michelle, thank you for your DK contributions, I love enjoying all the different versions everyone uploads on UA-cam
I can see whiy this made it to the MSU-1 iteration of DKC2. Your interpretation of the song is so beautifully performed! I always wondered where it originated from, and at LONG LAST, I found it!
It's been several years and I still can't get over how you threw The Flower Duet in there. DK2 was my all-time favorite childhood game, and I've listened to this song for decades. I'm a musician myself, and I would never have thought of that. I never 'heard' it until you did it. And now it feels like it completely belongs there, and the original is absent something important.
Wow! I'm lost for words. This is the best cover of one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite composers. You're doing something that I could only dream of doing. You've earned yourself a subscriber! I don't know why you don't have more subscribers. Keep up the wonderfully awesome work! David Wise would be proud! God bless!
I've never hit the subscription button so fast in my life. GOD DAMNIT. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. Made me shed a tear. It pains me that I haven't discovered this channel earlier.
Your covers have been inspiring me to continue my musical endeavors for years now, Michelle. Seriously, thank you so much for these quality pieces of art that you work so hard on. They’re simply beautiful and motivational to listen to
This is beautiful! You have such a soothing voice Michelle! Thank you for making and sharing this! DK Country 2 is one of my favorite video games! There Isn't enough music played from the series aside from Jungle Japes and Stickerbrush Symphony!
Hello! I'm a fan of the DKC series (especially DKC2). This video is the most perfect and special gift every fan of the game could receive. It is possible to notice all the love and effort that you put into this work and you can be sure that it was worth it. You will be able to make each heart a little warmer with all this affection :). The result was wonderful. We can only say thank you, from the heart, thank you very much! S2
This is one of my favorite Donkey Kong Country 2 songs. Very melancholy but uplifting. It's very nostalgic. Takes me back to being a kid when we all played those games with no work or worry. Just chores and school.
This is my favorite track from DKC. It's so beautiful, it's sad but hopeful. Like when the sun shows itself in the afternoon after it was cloudy the entire day.
You Know what's best? When you enter in a Icy stage in DKC series you always get the feeling of the chilliy and snowy land. Mostly, when I first entered the Artic Abyss, and heard the Snow-bound land for the very first time, its melody captivated me from the beginning from the end. In her cover, michelleheafy gave the best shot on the music, to feel the nostalgia that almost made me cry. Now, I wake up and think: this song cover made my Day. Let's listen: In a Snow-bound Land. Congratulations for the video!
Was just thinking about your stuff yesterday, wondering when we'd get the next awesome video and bam here it is! This is out of this world, thanks very much!
DKC2 has such a way to capture emotions and feelings. Your music perfectly recreates the vision Wise had in mind. Great as always! PS: I hear those little nods to Stickerbush Symphony!
Thanks for returning to make more awesome covers! I've always gotten a wonderful vibe from ice and snow levels in DKC games and this one has such a lovely serenity to it. Though Joe by The Cranberries really sounds nothing like this piece, I seem to always get reminded of it when I hear that song. Specifically, the mandolin riff in its chorus.
Something about this song just has a surreal effect on me. Never mind who you are, but all the precise factors are in place that in my mind, this is a masterpiece. Thank you for creating this!
Awesome cover, Michelle! On your last DKC2 cover, I mentioned I hoped to see In A Snow-Bound Land next... so happy to see it :) The white tops were a cool (get it?) touch for the song! As always, the DKC references are so much fun to try to find-- I heard Stickerbush Symphony at 1:40, and I loved the Aquatic Ambiance reference at 2:50. -David
Thank you so much! I agree about the melancholic feel! That's one of the things I love about the DKC soundtracks, the music feels heart-string tugging, while also very inspiring :)
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.

Great work.
Hey, did you like the remix David Wise himself made for Tropical Freeze? I thought it was even better than his original.
Michelle... Will you marry me? I promise you I will learn to play an instrument and we will play video game songs till we became an old and adorable couple.
michelleheafy you are so talented! Awesome job! You just gained a subscriber! Think you could do aquatic ambience or forest interlude next?
I'll show this to all of my friends! Thanks! Please do SF 2 Ryu's Ending.
So amazing!!!!!!!
Matthew Kiichi Heafy / Kiichi Chaos Dude a collab with your sister would be so cool to see.

Bra The Ele That’s probably the nicest comment I’ve ever read. Great job at being a good human. =D

Thank you for your kind words :) I'm so glad you enjoyed my version of this. David Wise is the best! :D

This is so spectacular! Feels nostalgic and so new, all at the same time.
YOU'RE BACK! AAAAAAHHHHHH! I MISSED YOUR MUSIC!
YAYYY! Aw thanks!! MISS YOU!!! This was my first cover using Logic! How did I live without track stack?!

この曲の素晴らしさが改めて気づける素晴らしい演奏です。
Skeptical clicking this as the original OST is sacrosanct to me, but you did beyond an amazing job. My goodness. Subscribed.
Thank you so much. I feel the same way about the original OST, and I'm glad I could do this song justice for you. I appreciate it!
This is so well done! You’re a great artist!

Such an amazing cover. One of my favorite DKC 2 tracks!
Always bring it back to DKC2!
This is one of my favorite Donkey Kong Country 2 songs. Very melancholy but uplifting. It's very nostalgic. Takes me back to being a kid when we all played those games with no work or worry. Just chores and school.
Nothing can bring back my childhood memories, I tell my son when I die play DK soundtrack 2 in my funeral.
Very beautifully sung, I love it.
Now this was a treat for my ears. Simply beautiful!
As músicas de DK2 são e você deixou ainda mais linda.
im loving this. use to play dk ost 1 and 2 while playing guild wars 2. those were some lovely days. this song brought me back. thanks buddy
Amazing. Sounds so calm and soothing.
That was beautiful! Congrats to your work! Thank you and keep composing with that passion we see in every video!
This theme is awesome and underrated imo, it hits right in the nostalgia. Excellent job
This is my favorite track from DKC. It's so beautiful, it's sad but hopeful. Like when the sun shows itself in the afternoon after it was cloudy the entire day.
greetings from december 2023, hope all is well!!
YES! MORE DKC2!!! This is beautiful!

Best song from DKC2!! Great cover👌
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it :)
What a surprise.
Clicking on the link Matt shared, I did not expect to find my new favorite video game music cover channel.
Amazing work!
0:37 voice of an angel. 😇 The added vocals makes this my favourite cover of Snow-Bound Land!
So glad to see this track getting more love as of late. In a sea of gems that is the DKC2 soundtrack, this one normally gets overlooked. Great cover!
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
So gifted for sure thanks for the amazing song!!!! Nerdying out to the best jams keep it up!!!!
Maravilhoso!!
The DKC games have such great soundtracks. Thanks for making such an awesome video!

DKC2 has such a way to capture emotions and feelings. Your music perfectly recreates the vision Wise had in mind. Great as always!
PS: I hear those little nods to Stickerbush Symphony!
Great to see such beautiful cover of my favourite Soundtrack from DKC2. I love this game a lot and this soundtrack too. :)
So awesome Michelle! Your voice is so amazing! Please keep doing videos!
This is really really good. Great work as always! It’s always nice to see a new video of yours in my feed.
Thanks for returning to make more awesome covers! I've always gotten a wonderful vibe from ice and snow levels in DKC games and this one has such a lovely serenity to it. Though Joe by The Cranberries really sounds nothing like this piece, I seem to always get reminded of it when I hear that song. Specifically, the mandolin riff in its chorus.
Ooh my Godness!
I just logged in to give and congratulate you for the excellent work. one of the songs that most marked my childhood. thank you!
Ahh, those vocal harmonies 😮so good!!
Very interesting indeed! Voices provide this song with a sort of magical enviroment. Bravo.
Sounds great. Hope to hear more covers from ya. You do a wonderful job.
The moment I saw this in my feed I got do excited!!! I've missed your beautiful covers and this is absolutely outstanding as usual~!
Okay, I just watched your version of Aquatic Ambience and it was amazing. This was lightyears ahead of that. Incredible.
Hey, thank you so much! It really means a lot. :)
Your vocal tracks just keep getting better and better. Each one is worth the wait!
Sneaking in Aquatic Ambience *and* The Flower Duet? That's a chef kiss moment right there.
I'm so glad you caught that! :D Thanks for noticing, and for the kind words!
Absolutely amazing video. Keep up the good work
Incredible cover michelle !!!! Love your playing in drums !!! A big hug from el salvador
Well Done...I like the vocal harmonizing, all the layers...beautiful voice!!
So beatiful, so wonderful, simply epic cover...
Yes! Suuch a great song and arrangement.
Oh my god, this is giving me insane chills.
Something about this song just has a surreal effect on me. Never mind who you are, but all the precise factors are in place that in my mind, this is a masterpiece. Thank you for creating this!
幸せな気持ちになりました。ありがとう
OMG! Beautiful work, as always! Amazing!

This is amazing ! Replaying the first one and it’s stressing me out but this is so calming love it!
The voice and smile of an angel. I love your musical talent!
This song is so melancholic, awesome cover
Thank you so much! I agree about the melancholic feel! That's one of the things I love about the DKC soundtracks, the music feels heart-string tugging, while also very inspiring :)
The sky has this music when you enter it. Thanks Michelle :_)
Love it! Perfect song for you to cover. Everything you added to this song is brilliant! The Flower Duet reference is a nice touch! Good job!!!!
