This Donkey Kong one makes go back in time. That was a LONG time ago when I was playing this in the 90's. Damn, I am so old. The people in here are really enjoying it.
I understand, same story here. I remember when DK country came out. The mysic was one of my favorite parts of the game. I would pause it and walk away just to listen.
Only recognized one. The first Zelda song. Didn't like playing zelda games. Not enough direction. Almost like a puzzle game. And didn't like battle mechanics. Amen
Big FFIX fan, so it's nice to see you give the less common songs a fair representation with your skill! But overall the themed medleys are quickly becoming a favorite of mine! 😄 You're doing such an encouraging work for an expansive audience!
Escuchar la de weird woords-kirby epic yard, la de secret of the forest-chrono trigger, la de what the forest taught me-secret of mana, la de dark mountain forest-link to the past fue como un sueño hecho realidad Pero la de beware the forest’s mushrooms- super mario RPG fue un orgasmo en el oido, fue algo muy delicado y fino, una joya
Loved all of them, especially Beware the Forest's Mushrooms. I'm amused at how Squaresoft (as in, from before Enix acquired them) and Nintendo account for the entire playlist. Those companies knew/know how to do music right.
O! The ff9 one. Leveling to 99 on goblins and wolfs... Love Lost Woods, SUper Mario RPG, and ff6 Phantom Forest. Love me a good stroll in the woods. "Into the wooods,. Into the woooods."
The Lorax may speak for the trees, but he never asked who was going to perform music on their behalf. It's interesting how across several different titles, the forest themes are among the best pieces on the entire soundtrack. Thanks for uploading, another great performance!
Well this was a pleasant surprise. You played so many good tunes from FFVI to Zelda, Mario, Tetris, Donkey Kong, and more. We can’t express how much your music means to us all.
Huh, funnily enough I just fought the Phantom Train in FF14 for the first time last night so hearing this start off with the Phantom Forest was surreal. Anyway, another beautiful job.
I KNOW! I honestly forgot I had that one- we edited some stuff out of this video, but I believe I even said it during the performance, I forgot I had it!
What a cool idea to combine forest themes. I love it. Always a pleasure to hear you play and we all love your fun personality shining through while playing!
Thank you so much for this amazing medley! I felt I was 14 again hearing Phantom Forest for the first time, what a beautiful song to start this video! Kudos from Uruguay!
it just so happened it was the first one I played in the set, actually it inspired the medley. Someone had requested it and then from there I just kept playing more forest themes!
@@KaraComparetto once you start you can't stop, that's the beauty of it! It's a BEAUTIFUL medley, with other songs that touched my heart too, from FF7 to Chrono Trigger. I'm trying them in the accordion now 😅 As always, thanks for sharing your fantastic talent!
How did I not get a notification for this one? Your background suits this music so beautifully! And you played my two favorites back to back: Beware The Forest’s Mushrooms and Lost Woods (love them all btw-those are just my two favs if I had to pick) Video game forests can be so so simultaneously enchanting and mystifying (like the Mario RPG Forest Maze and the Skull Kid themselves!)
Did you ever play Space Harrier? "KILL THOSE TREES! ALL THE TREES MUST DIE! I HATE TREES! EXTERMINATE THE TREES!" "But we need the trees to breathe, we need the trees to live. This is nonsense on the face of it." "WHO SAID THAT?!? THEY ARE CLEARLY SOME SORT OF A TRAITOR, THROW THEM OVERBOARD!!!" I remember, the first video game I ever possessed was a Tiger Electronics Space Harrier II. Actually, the song they play when you're doing that is boss. You know what I'm bringing to your doorstep next, but this might be a while...
Seiken Densetsu 2 has one of the best game soundtracks ever. Change my mind! When the melody plays you can see the Rabbites jumping in the spring forest. PS: Same goes for Donkey Kong and A Link to the past.
@@KaraComparetto Try this piece "Eternal Recurrance". Gives me goosebumps every time I play that part, when you first meet Undine. Just epic! Here a dual piano composition: ua-cam.com/video/Fu4xTsPctJs/v-deo.html
I do love a good forest bop. I find when I sit down to the piano and just start instinctively picking out chords and melodies to write something, as often as not it ends up being 'forest music'
Even though so many of these tunes I have been familiar with since my childhood and teen years, hearing them played like this feels like I've been drawn into a mystery land, deep in a fantasy as real as our reality but far and spirited away. Myth and wonder collide like the first time a human foot steps upon the rainbow - awe that such a rainbow has not faded the closer you get and shock that it's even possible. That is what listening to your piano covers sound like. It's all the same music...but it feels like it's as familiar as it is mysterious! BEAUTIFUL playing, Kara. May God Almighty bless you for making the most of your gifting. Thank you for the joy you've given through your playing. (And I enjoyed finally getting to see your live stream for the first time yesterday! I hope to catch your steams in the future more often.)
@@KaraComparetto Oh, how I wish I could! Sadly, I have to work into the late evening on Wednesday. But if I'm free in the future, I'll absolutely make the time to join your stream.
I think I heard this live. I think it was some time ago. It's nice to hear it again. You always do such nice work. Thanks for the upload. It will help with my morning tasks.
Loved every second of this but I will be honest, once you hit Secret of Mana, my brain kinda imploded lol twas amazing. Also that pupper is too cute. Such a well behaved doggo!
Lovely collection Kara, would have loved a cover of FFX's "The Silence Before The Storm" as well. I think you would produce a wonderful cover of it :). This tune play's in Macalania forest btw.
I played this game when I was a teenager, recovering from grief after my father died. This song (phantom forest) is bittersweet for me; it reminds me of a beautiful game, and it's just so pretty. However, like in the game, it brings back sad and lonely memories too. Well played as always, Kara.
Never clicked so fast, amazing idea to do a medley of a particular theme! My fave forest tunes are back to back, Chrono Cross and Secret of Mana. Thanks for this, you're phenomenally talented ❤ How about a ice theme for the next one? Plenty of FF and DK to pick from, as well as Secret of Mana. Glacial Peaks from Sea of Stars is an absolute banger and Octopath 1&2 have great snowy music. What others nailed cold area music?
Oooh! I love forest themes. This feels like it was made for me 😊 Little bummed Lost Forest from Legend of Legaia 2 didn't make the cut though. I love that one.
I'm not sure I had that one on my iPad! It would've made it - I was searching "forest" on my iPad during the performance after each song haha. The one I remember I didn't choose was a castlevania forest Thieme which im glad I skipped because I think it wouldn't have fit well XD
@KaraComparetto No worries! It's a bit more under the radar than some other games, but I always liked that song in particular by Sakimoto. Loved the mix!
Have ever heard "Rick Wakeman"? Consider to listen at either Spotify or UA-cam the album the "The Seven Wonders of the World" ... consider to do a cover of that . As usual amazing your work. Huge congrats!
Excellent! All great songs. I feel like there could be a part 2 with Xenoblade Chronicles - Forest of the Nopon Ori and the Blind Forest And so many more.
yeah maybe! this was just an impromptu medley.. I wasn't even expecting to share it on UA-cam. Next medley I should just prepare a bit ahead of time haha
You have to play the piano songs from Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth! They literally have challenges where Cloud and Tifa have to sit and play the piano. I'd love to see you play Tifa's Theme and One Winged Angel!
Thank you so much for this it's so beautiful! I've thought about making a playlist like this and you played all of my favorites and then some more. I've been listening to the whole thing on repeat at work. 😂
Opening with FFVI and Terra cosplay, this had me right from the start but it's easy to stay with. I also greatly appreciate that you included a track from A Link to the Past, what a great game that was.
Am I walking through the forest with a ninja and a dude who can suplex a train? I think so 😂
This Donkey Kong one makes go back in time. That was a LONG time ago when I was playing this in the 90's. Damn, I am so old. The people in here are really enjoying it.
there must be a lot of us old people in here :D
@@KaraComparetto LOL XD. Yes, we are 😂😂😂
I understand, same story here. I remember when DK country came out. The mysic was one of my favorite parts of the game. I would pause it and walk away just to listen.
david wise did such a great job, always come back to this soundtrack decades later
😂😂😂😂
Opening with that FF VI tune brought me back a long ways.
A great opening tune to be sure.
same
Hehehehehe, Let's enjoy the show! I am distributing likes in here and sharing with my friends!
yyyeeeaaaahhhhh"!!
you're first!! XD
Only recognized one. The first Zelda song.
Didn't like playing zelda games.
Not enough direction.
Almost like a puzzle game.
And didn't like battle mechanics.
Amen
you recognized only one song and from a game you hated?! hahaha XD
I love Tetris Attack!!
Whenever Secret of Mana is included, its a good list
yeah and I dont do much secret of mana for UA-cam! XD
Big FFIX fan, so it's nice to see you give the less common songs a fair representation with your skill! But overall the themed medleys are quickly becoming a favorite of mine! 😄 You're doing such an encouraging work for an expansive audience!
Thank you! Also for your email, THANK YOU I will respond soon!! :)
That little doggy is silly and cute! Taha!!!!
good idea, good selections, good performances. Secrete of the forest, is a fav. oooh forest interlude is great too.
thank you Brent!
Looks like an excuse to rock the Terra gloves and outfit again 🤔
it had been awhile! I've been cosplaying all my twitch streams lately :) next week is the Yuffie moogle outfit!
2:26 this was the song I was expecting from the title. Beautiful all songs!
That forest interlude was always one of my favs from donkey kong, so good
I can have so many versions of that on my channels and people still don't tire of it XD
@@KaraComparettothe song itself is amazing and all of your renditions are, too!
5:52 thanks you so much for doing epic yarn!!! I really think the composer Tomoya Tomita has a unique style. Kudos to whoever transcribed it too
@@fel_7264 yessss that’s my favorite in the set!!
Secret of mana with a multitap was the ultimate 90s gaming. Thanks for the memory lane trip! 19:41
Shadow Forest is one of my favorite vgm tracks of all time. Played beautifully. :]
Weird Woods and Dark Mountain Forest are some of my favorite licks on this channel. Thank you for the chill study vibes ❤📖 ☕
those are my two favorite in the set haha!
Tetris Atack❤❤❤
メインテーマ等の曲に比べて注目される事が少ない、森に関連する曲を沢山取り上げて頂いた事にとても感謝します。
１曲目の「迷いの森」は私が大好きな曲で、偶然にも、日本のとある小都市にあるストリートピアノで最近演奏した所です。
ああ、それを見られたらとても楽しかったでしょうね。いつか日本に行きたいです。 光田康典さんに会いたい！ ははは
Escuchar la de weird woords-kirby epic yard, la de secret of the forest-chrono trigger, la de what the forest taught me-secret of mana, la de dark mountain forest-link to the past fue como un sueño hecho realidad
Pero la de beware the forest’s mushrooms- super mario RPG fue un orgasmo en el oido, fue algo muy delicado y fino, una joya
Was a nice surprise hearing Tetris Attack in there. That game has the best bass lines
the Tetris stuff is quite surprising to me as well! XD
13:34 - Still one of my all time favorite video game tracks and memories - played with stunning clarity here by Kara.
thank you Jeff!
Loved all of them, especially Beware the Forest's Mushrooms.
I'm amused at how Squaresoft (as in, from before Enix acquired them) and Nintendo account for the entire playlist. Those companies knew/know how to do music right.
YES they did!!
Super Mario RPG AND Donkey Kong Country? Perfection! Also, glad to see Kirby's Epic Yarn and Tetris Attack represented.
yeah the Kirby song... I loved it!!
i will watch a Kara - Secret of the Forest performance every time.
:)
you and me both u.u
O! The ff9 one. Leveling to 99 on goblins and wolfs...
Love Lost Woods, SUper Mario RPG, and ff6 Phantom Forest. Love me a good stroll in the woods. "Into the wooods,. Into the woooods."
yes!! I actually performed the complete FF9 soundtrack last weekend on a stream, I plan to release the video on UA-cam as soon as I can!
@@KaraComparetto AAauuuuuuuuuuuuuh! (a gasp of happy)
😱...🙂
OMG Tetris Attack?! How have I never run across this until now! Thanks Kara!
LOL thank you!!
Phantom Forest is my fav :)
The way that Tetris Attack one starts, I almost thought it was from Snowboard Kids!
ive' never heard of snowboard kids! XD
@@KaraComparetto Nintendo 64 game!
The Lorax may speak for the trees, but he never asked who was going to perform music on their behalf.
It's interesting how across several different titles, the forest themes are among the best pieces on the entire soundtrack. Thanks for uploading, another great performance!
Forest themes are my favorite in any ost, they always sound light & whimsical, like macalania woods in Final Fantasy 10.
I totally agree!!
Wow Tetris Attack, that was a nice surprise!
Thank you so much for throwing Tetris Attack in there! I’ve been wondering for years why nobody ever touches its ost, because it’s so good!
I have like 5 Tetris songs on my twitch songlist haha! My followers send me stuff so I have some really interesting sheet music :)
Forest Maze from SMRPG is one of my FAVORITES!!! So much fun. Looks like a LOT of great tracks coming up. Thanks, Kara!
hope you enjoyed it!! :)
Well this was a pleasant surprise. You played so many good tunes from FFVI to Zelda, Mario, Tetris, Donkey Kong, and more. We can’t express how much your music means to us all.
thank you, that's so kind
Huh, funnily enough I just fought the Phantom Train in FF14 for the first time last night so hearing this start off with the Phantom Forest was surreal. Anyway, another beautiful job.
oh wow,... is that a new part in XIV? I stopped playing a couple years ago.. but I do miss it!
The OST to Tetris Attack/Panel De Pon doesn't get enough love. Happy to see some here!
you're not the first to say that! thank you!
That 'Dark Mountain Forest' (Zelda) piano rendition gives me chills. Amazing!
I KNOW! I honestly forgot I had that one- we edited some stuff out of this video, but I believe I even said it during the performance, I forgot I had it!
Forest Stage- Tetris Atack for sleep❤.
forests do have the best music.
You know, there are a few good reasons to interrupt music, and picking up an adorable tiny poodle is one of them.
that was necessary but added to the entertainment XD
What a cool idea to combine forest themes. I love it. Always a pleasure to hear you play and we all love your fun personality shining through while playing!
Love the Terra outfit and the music as always. 😃
You're pulling at my nostalgia strings. These are some of the greatest soundtracks of the 90's!
yeah for sure!!
interesting to hear each different game's take on forest themed music. dk one's are all bangers
I need this music in my ears and mind next time I go out to a park, it'd be just perfect to the moment. Thank You! 🤩🌳🌷
Thank you so much for this amazing medley! I felt I was 14 again hearing Phantom Forest for the first time, what a beautiful song to start this video! Kudos from Uruguay!

Oh my, a forest medley where I like the Chrono Trigger and DKC2 pieces better than the Mario RPG piece...
16:40 A wild Roo appeared!
wow that's saying something! haha thank you Daniel!

Awesome A Video Game Forest Medley Video.
This is outstanding. I think you're the first person I've heard do the FF9 forest song, too - such an underrated piece.
wow interesting! It was definitely inspiring me to record the complete FF9 soundtrack someday haha

Here a dual piano composition: ua-cam.com/video/Fu4xTsPctJs/v-deo.html
Great music. I love the secret of the forest of Chrono Triggier. Wonderful with you talent.
I do love a good forest bop.
I find when I sit down to the piano and just start instinctively picking out chords and melodies to write something, as often as not it ends up being 'forest music'
Damn, starting off with peak
That was absolutely pehnomenal, best 31 mins of this week.
Yes! Tetris Attack made it to UA-cam. I'm glad to see others like it as much as I do and that I sent those sheets.
hahaha yes, and people are noticing it too! Not surprised you sent the sheets to that one :D
Forest tunes always have something mysterious about it

it's so good! :)
I think I heard this live. I think it was some time ago. It's nice to hear it again. You always do such nice work. Thanks for the upload. It will help with my morning tasks.
This was performed only last week when I dressed as Terra! I guess you missed it! :P
@@KaraComparetto Oh, I did! Oops! I know you did a forest medley some time ago that I didn't miss. But thanks for this one!
You are my favorite pianist. I am so glad that youtube recommended me your Final Fantasy ost piano & organ version
me too, thank you Sam!!
ill prob be here for a few days dancing to ALL your tunes! 🤘
wooooo!
Loved every second of this but I will be honest, once you hit Secret of Mana, my brain kinda imploded lol twas amazing. Also that pupper is too cute. Such a well behaved doggo!
oh awesome, glad that one stuck out to you! I have still yet to play Secret of Mana
Forested Temple! Yay! 🎉
聖剣伝説懐かしいな
隠れた名曲を弾いてくれるのはありがたい
ありがとうございます、楽しんでいただけて嬉しいです!! :)
Greetings from Mexico, this is a poem for my ears.... Thanks!.
thank you! greetings from the USA!
A lot of really good songs. The opening track is one of my favorites.
Thank you for this.
thank you
❤️ the Kirby one
yes that might be my fav in the set next to Dark mountain forest!
Lovely collection Kara, would have loved a cover of FFX's "The Silence Before The Storm" as well. I think you would produce a wonderful cover of it :). This tune play's in Macalania forest btw.
yeah that's a nice one! I play that one quite often on my live streams :)
the best one is ... Forest Interlude ~ Donkey Kong Country 2
it's hard to beat that one!
damn that is just remarkable
Amayyyyzing playing Terra Comparetto!
I played this game when I was a teenager, recovering from grief after my father died. This song (phantom forest) is bittersweet for me; it reminds me of a beautiful game, and it's just so pretty. However, like in the game, it brings back sad and lonely memories too. Well played as always, Kara.

This seemed to be the perfect thing for a rainy day like today, although there is probably never a bad day to listen to Kara play.

so good! and your dog is hilarious, I half expected a duet to ensue xD
oh goodness no XD
Miss Kara always impresses, very nostalgic rendition of Secret of the Forest.
The soundtrack to Donkey Kong Country is straight bangin.
Thank you very much ! I just love forested temple !
Bangers from start to finish.
Excellent! All great songs. I feel like there could be a part 2 with
Xenoblade Chronicles - Forest of the Nopon
Ori and the Blind Forest
And so many more.
yeah maybe! this was just an impromptu medley.. I wasn't even expecting to share it on UA-cam. Next medley I should just prepare a bit ahead of time haha
You have to play the piano songs from Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth! They literally have challenges where Cloud and Tifa have to sit and play the piano. I'd love to see you play Tifa's Theme and One Winged Angel!
I'm cosplaying Yuffie's moogle outfit this week, maybe that would be a good time :D
Those bases on Secret of of the Forest (Chrono Trigger)
yeah and on my new piano they're especially deep! :D
Thank you so much for this it's so beautiful! I've thought about making a playlist like this and you played all of my favorites and then some more. I've been listening to the whole thing on repeat at work. 😂
I love that!! I figured it would be a good set to just put on in the background :)
Lovely performance Kara ❤! Thank you!
you're welcome!! :)
Starting strong out of the gate! The Phantom Forest is hitting me right in the proverbial feels.
The intro has a fantastic duff of the cap to the intro to James Bond's theme.
haha yes, I think two of them do! not sure if it's the FFVII or IX one, can't remember
@@KaraComparetto, it was the opening cue (er, song). Sorry, I have been working on music as well (lol).
Thanks for my favorite tracks from old Final Fantasy games!
you're welcome!! :)
Absolutely wonderful! Forgive me if you already have, but if you're doing other themes, a water track list would be stellar!
YES I was thinking that!
I really love your version of Weird Woods!
oh yeah me too lol that's like my favorite in the set! XD
Wonderful medley starts off with an absolute banger, thank you.
hard to go wrong with FFVI!
Forest themes, my favorites! 16:57 Shadow Forest and 29:23 Danger in the Forest are just something special, amazing tunes.
thank you Leah! I do love that FF9 one!
Opening with FFVI and Terra cosplay, this had me right from the start but it's easy to stay with. I also greatly appreciate that you included a track from A Link to the Past, what a great game that was.
Thank you! Yes I was pleasantly surprised when that one came up in the set- I had forgotten how good it is!
I can tell it brings you alot of joy to play 🎹 🎹 Keep up the great work 👍👍
it definitely does! I promise I will!
