Everyone talks about Stickerbush Symphony, but I believe this is the masterpiece of DKC2. David Wise even said himself that this is his favorite track from this game. It's kinda amazing that this was on a SNES, and the restoration makes it sound even more amazing. I like the way you ended it, by the way.
I agree. Stickbrush Symphony is okay but I ALWAYS thought this song was better constructed and gave a lot more of an ambient feel. It even uses birds in the percussion.
@@YophiSmith Stickerbrush is amazing but the humble feeling of this song is just crazy. The bird sounds drive it home I love music that can paint a picture on its own even without the context of the game its from.
They're both equal, just really wish Forest Interlude got more love. Stickerbrush, Forest, and Aquatic Ambience are all equally amazing DKC songs and probably the 3 absolute best songs in the series
I think it depends a bit on one's mood, I personally like to see this as Stickerbush Symphony's little brother - I can listen to SS anytime and this one 99/100 times and mining melanchony 98/100. Then again it doesn't matter what the majority of DK fans like's- what we all acknowledge is that DKC has awesome soundtrack produced by the man himself and that in itself is a quite a feet for a game produced on the snes by western producers.
David Wise did NOT have a reason to make the OST of a game about monkeys so beautiful, yet he still did it. Thank You David. And thank you Sam for remastering it.
actually most stuff we experience is about monkeys, we just refuse to acknowledge that we are monkeys. look at amber heard shitting in a bed and tell me we aren't monkeys
@@pointlessmanatee We are all sinners. That's why we have a conscience that tells us "hey, that's bad" and constantly condemns us. However, if you believe Jesus Christ died for our sins, and rose again, covering our sin debt forever, you're saved and are going to Heaven. If you want to seek if God is real, I hope you take the time to.
this stuff was certainly preparing us for the first techno era. I remember loving the music then. Reminds me of long summers or winter breaks of endless game play.
we were just kids, everything was awesome in the 90s, now most things are mediocre, very few magical moments happen and I feel bad for future generations, we were blessed by some entity thats for sure
@@EdwardGutierrez90 don't feel bad for us future generations we had the same experience with other consoles. For me it was Wii and I still from time to time play it, listen the music and think how amazing it is just like you do with SNES
And people say that games are just games, bruh, they pure and modern art, since the begining, starting with the masterpieces they give with artwork, soundtrack, stories, is something that not even movies can transmit, and not only that, but also the love and details they give into the games to those who play videogames are their lives, like me and us all, gamers since we were kids ♡
@@GeometryPlayzloldude its all about how it melded with gameplay too. Climbing up those ghost vines, the trees, the light coming through the background was just so serene. Worth a play for sure

@@WillySognatore I never knew about Dead Can Dance. I totally see why you'd compare it to something like this, I...think I gotta listen to some music now, DAYUM. Thanks a ton. Man I am so glad that I have played DKC.
I think David Wise has said this was the track he was most proud of getting to work on the SNES, this sounds so faithful to the original, I'm really impressed as always.
@@aninymouse1651 I've no doubt he's said that I know it was one of the earlier tracks he did for DKC so he must've still been learning what he could make the system do, but he's also mentioned Forest Interlude as the one that was his biggest challenge to get to work due to the complexity and certain things he wanted to do that the SNES shouldn't be able to do, ua-cam.com/video/ain8sBEjx_4/v-deo.html this is the interview at about 6:30 I saw him mention it.
@@aninymouse1651 Its not a great interview overall, a bit awkard and some of the questions are just....weird but some of it was interesting like the bit I referenced.

@@LonghornME I got a reply when i sent him this. Hi Xavier. I assure you it wasn't broken. What was there to restore? All of the DKCx tracks were composed, arranged and programmed directly on to the SNES soundchip These are the original versions. Nothing ever needed to be converted and nothing ever needed to be compromised.
@@OrangeC88 look at it like this if Nintendo told him we are doing a remaster on all 3 games we need you to do the sound he wouldn't be using the snes compress crap sound and he didn't do it all in the snes in past interviews he has said he used different sound workstations and had to chop down the samples to fit he just contradict himself . I read your reply on twitter you really took a dump on his work you piss him off LOL
@@soloM81 That's not quite right. When programming music with on board chips, the samples are first compiled into a library and then written in the game data and called directly from the chip on demand. It is very possible that although David Wise used different sources for the original sounds, he actually played the music through the chip and tailored it to sound good while already having compressed samples.
The first time in my life that I recall stopping in a video game just to appreciate the music was when I was 7 years old playing through this game for the first time in an age before the internet, before there was an available soundtrack, and it was specifically on this level. I had never heard anything so majestic and I rarely ever have since.
This song and Stickerbrush symphony used to make me feel very emotional in a depressing way, yet I loved both songs. So sometimes I wouldn't even listen to it just because of the mood it out me in. I've grown a lot from those times. This song still makes me feel emotional, but in a very warm and heart felt way these days.
Holy moly this might be THE perfect restoration. Not a single thing I could find that felt different. It truly is an HD restoration. Also... AWWHH AWWHH AWWHHHH (let's see who else heard that while listening)
This song is like revisiting memories of the past, both with regret and fulfillment. It evokes the feeling that you’ve been through so much, but now you are finally at peace with yourself.
This music reminds me of the beginning of nightfall in the rainforest. Many animals are going to “bed”- their dens, caves,nests, whatever. Mothers collect their young and snuggle close to them; keeping them dry from the pattering rain. The loud and lively parrots and monkeys/apes begin to head for the trees to rest. But, even then, the jungle is not still…it never is… it’s the nocturnal animals’ turn to go on with their day. And that’s when 0:40 hits! Truly one of the best Dk and dare I say SNES tracks! Thank your Maestro Wise and thank you Sam Miller
Forest interlude and Stickerbush Symphony shouldn't be compared against each other they are both beautifully composed David Wisewas a musical game artist
This song takes me back to good days. Child me sitting in the living room and playing this game on the tube tv, meanwhile I can smell my mom cooking up something delicious in the kitchen. I play through a few levels, making progress and feeling proud of myself. Then, my mom interrupts me with a warm smile on her face, hands me a plate of some fresh tamales and a cup of champurrado and tells me she loves me. Christmas is just around the corner. Life is good. I miss you mom.
My childhood man...makes me cry...when times were so simple as a kid...miss it too much...im 31 now...looking at the world now it sucks to be honest...these times right here the 90s was the pinnacle of the golden times the good old days...now they are gone and it only comes once...im gratefull that god let me live through those times as a kid and blessed me with all those memories in the 90s...this song right here just makes my mind replay all the good times that i have as a kid...peace to all the good people out there which are now few compared to the bad.
This is exactly how I feel, you summarized it perfectly. I wish I could go back. I'm 31 too, thankful I got to experience what I experienced so far. Things are just so different now, the world drastically changed.
I also agree. I remember my stepfather buying DKC1 when it came out, and we all marveled both at the graphics and music, as a family. I miss having no Internet, no cellphone, yet still both talking to and connecting with people.
I played all three of these games last month and wow I see what all the hype was about Terrific level design, graphics that go past the test on time, smooth as butter control's and the most beautiful music to ever be heard across all three games
No doubt that this is the best restoration so far, as progress doing those awesome restorations, you're becoming even better in doing so, congratulations man, you're reviving a lot of peoples childhood. Thank you!
@@firestriker3580 stfu. This s the best restore ever. Didn't you hear the super nice ending sam created. All the others are just boring fade outs, but he added 2 extra notes to make a good ending. Also, this whole track sounds so much better than all the other restorations.
When the soundtrack of a video games causes people to write deep introspective comments about the simplicity of childhood. This song really does invoke such a well of emotion for me.
This songs makes wanna go back to my room when I was 6 and play this game again knowing that my mom is alive and well at her room. I miss you so much, mom. I think about you everyday.. Love you so..
I also remember playing this game and the original donkey kong country game with my mom when I was at a young age. This was one of her favorite games. My mom passed away last year and I miss her too and the fond memories we shared.
A lo largo de la vida todos descubrimos nuevas canciones y géneros sin embargo las escuchamos y las olvidamos para volver a recordarlas de nuevo, pero Wise y su música es diferente, no es solo la nostalgia o el trabajo hecho con inmensas dificultades que resultó en obras maestras, Wise y el Soundtrack de DKC 2 en específico son historia, música que perdura y lo seguirá haciendo en los corazones de verdaderos beneficiados de el recuerdo y el buen gusto.
Lo escribire en inlges por si alguien de otra habla quiere saber que dice: Over time of life everyone finds new songs and genres, but nevertheless we hear them and forgot them so next we remember them again, but Wise and his music is different, it isn't only the nostalgy or the work made with the difficulties that result in masterpieces, Wise and the music of DKC 2 in specific are history, music that holds up and will keep in the heart of the benifited with the memories and the good taste
It's difficult for me to find another SNES song that has the ability to give me near-constant chills. There are parts of me that wish I could experience this level and song for the very first time again.
This and Aquatic Ambiance are the most ascending tracks from this game, not only do they take you back but they invoke this deep emotion that can only really be understood by hearing it. Amazing for its time and still holds up.
I'm so glad this project exists. I wish we had this for more games. Remixes and covers are great and all, but hearing the original, clean, uncompressed music the way it was first composed is so much more satisfying. It's like getting new glasses. Everything looks so much sharper, the way it was always meant to look and not just another interpretation of it. Except instead of your eyes it's your ears.
Chills. Pure chills. Sat down with my dad (who has played and also loves the trilogy) today to listen to this and we listened to it prolly 5 times. Its wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Great job.
@@DKCreo Yea man I'm glad I can. Specially because its Christmas again soon and as some sort of tradition my mum dad sister and me are going to play the trilogy from start to finish. ☺️
I don't recall where I saw the interview, but I think it was one of the game developers that explained the purpose of this level, and the calming music was in a sense of to relax the player because this level came after the first somewhat difficult level. Rare was a top tier studio during the 90s and had great music to, their follow up game killer instinct had its own soundtrack packed in with the game called Killer Cuts.
F minor7 (add 11th, 13th) to B flat. i - IV always beautiful. The other chordal tones around it and modulations also very nice. The end with the harmonica-like sound, is too much like "That's What Friends are For".
4:20 That end part you added was so magical. It felt like I was listening to this for the first time all over again. Sadly cut short for it being the end of the song n all, but still, chills all over.
This was my favourite music from the game. I remember spending longer on these levels to enjoy the music and left the Kongs idle when I did my homework back in the day. Thanks for the remaster of this Sam and thanks to David for the original. Respect to both creators.
i can't believe I was 8 years old when this came out. damn 3rd grade yo. I remember playing outside with my fellow neighboorhood kids on my block. Saturday morning; up and at 'em early: 8 am outside with our bikes. Not knowing what's planned for the rest of the day ahead. So, play outside for a little. Take a bike ride down town maybe. Come back, mid afternoon sometime. Decide to go to friend's house from the block. Play this game for hours. Parents call me in for dinner time. Go outside at night ajd play manhunt or hide and seek. Next thing we're in, call it the day/night. Repeat for Sunday.
Played DKC and DKC2 today for the first time in a very long time. When I got to this stage I paused the game midway through and just started listening. Brought back so many memories of when I was a kid. This is one of the tracks that first got me interested in music.. beautiful work David Wise. Cheers.
I used to listen to this all the time when writing college papers, it really helped me relax and write more easily. This and Stickerbush are probably some of the best SNES compositions

This was always my favorite song from DKC2, I was sad when I found your channel and you hadn't done this one, but then I saw you were live streaming the other day and were restoring it! I am elated that it came out as perfect as it did. Thank you so much!
Never had I thought that a game that scared me when I was very young, especially the game over screen. Would have such relaxing and calming music. I could fall asleep to this.

Everyone is always talking about specific levels, but no one besides me appreciates how amazing the Rare Logo music + Intro theme was. I wish I could hear a remastered version of those.

After years of Aquatic Ambience and Stickerbrush Symphony stealing the spotlight of my eardrums, I finally stumbled upon this piece amidst a Nintendo Playlist. I've NEVER played a Donkey Kong Country game, I think it's time I do. This track is testament to that, it's simply incredible. I think it's my absolute favorite until further notice. David Wise, what a composer...
This reminds me of a story about a boy "Long,Long ago there was a boy who stayed alone in the empty space of a deep cave.He is still waiting for the day when he can sit on the moon together with the girl who suddenly left when he was young,Somewhere in the forest and talk again.once in a thousand years,in the deepest parts of the forest.

I remember playing this game on the GBA, and getting to the forest map, when this song hit my eardrums, I was flooded with all sorts of emotions. It felt so sad and foreboding, yet calming and intriguing. It's still my favorite Donkey Kong song to date, and one of my favorite video game themes of all time.

This is exactly how I feel, you summarized it perfectly. I wish I could go back. I'm 31 too, thankful I got to experience what I experienced so far. Things are just so different now, the world drastically changed.
I also agree. I remember my stepfather buying DKC1 when it came out, and we all marveled both at the graphics and music, as a family. I miss having no Internet, no cellphone, yet still both talking to and connecting with people.
i-is this real? i MUST be dreaming. so glad you've finally found that steel keg sample!
Doesn't this mean he can restore mining melancholy? If it does I'm gonna cry 🤩🤩🤩

I played all three of these games last month and wow I see what all the hype was about
Terrific level design, graphics that go past the test on time, smooth as butter control's and the most beautiful music to ever be heard across all three games
Back when games were made with the idea of “how creative can we be” vs today “how much money can we make”
Gaming industry doomers when you show them indie games (they had no idea that's where all the good ideas are)
Bruh the latter has always been true, it' just worst compared to back than.
You wont get fun out of most AAA's anymore, but indie devs have got you covered
No doubt that this is the best restoration so far, as progress doing those awesome restorations, you're becoming even better in doing so, congratulations man, you're reviving a lot of peoples childhood. Thank you!
No
Yeah. Agreed
@@firestriker3580 stfu. This s the best restore ever. Didn't you hear the super nice ending sam created. All the others are just boring fade outs, but he added 2 extra notes to make a good ending. Also, this whole track sounds so much better than all the other restorations.
Amazing restoration. This was one of the first games I ever owned when I got SNES and it is my favorite track. Thanks from Venezuela!
Still blows my mind that they were able to get THIS quality of music out of a SNES!
The SNES had an insanely good soundchip, thats why so many SNES games have such awesome music.
Yeah the SNES was the only system that Nintendo put out that was the most technically advanced game system at one time.
@@Mythical444n64 was, GameCube aswell until the Xbox came out.
I could listen to this 850,000 times and not get bored
nice one.
WE ARE GETTING (idk the aura name) WITH THIS ONE🗣️🗣️🗣️
I can hear the ghosts and the evil spirits of the forest laughing at me when listening to this. What a masterpiece.
What a time to be alive to relive your childhood through the music we grew up playing/listening too .
I wasn't around when this game was Released, But Am I glad I was around for this restoration. This sounds Amazing!
When the soundtrack of a video games causes people to write deep introspective comments about the simplicity of childhood. This song really does invoke such a well of emotion for me.
This songs makes wanna go back to my room when I was 6 and play this game again knowing that my mom is alive and well at her room. I miss you so much, mom. I think about you everyday.. Love you so..
RIP to your mother.. she is waiting for you.
@@victorythroughharmony11 thank you for being so kind 🙏
At least she's in a better place now... 🙏
@@ictoan79 thanks a lot for the kindness
I also remember playing this game and the original donkey kong country game with my mom when I was at a young age. This was one of her favorite games. My mom passed away last year and I miss her too and the fond memories we shared.
Thank you for restoring this. This brings me back to being a kid and starting up my snes in the morning and trying to beat these levels.
A lo largo de la vida todos descubrimos nuevas canciones y géneros sin embargo las escuchamos y las olvidamos para volver a recordarlas de nuevo, pero Wise y su música es diferente, no es solo la nostalgia o el trabajo hecho con inmensas dificultades que resultó en obras maestras, Wise y el Soundtrack de DKC 2 en específico son historia, música que perdura y lo seguirá haciendo en los corazones de verdaderos beneficiados de el recuerdo y el buen gusto.
Lo escribire en inlges por si alguien de otra habla quiere saber que dice:
Over time of life everyone finds new songs and genres, but nevertheless we hear them and forgot them so next we remember them again, but Wise and his music is different, it isn't only the nostalgy or the work made with the difficulties that result in masterpieces, Wise and the music of DKC 2 in specific are history, music that holds up and will keep in the heart of the benifited with the memories and the good taste
It's difficult for me to find another SNES song that has the ability to give me near-constant chills. There are parts of me that wish I could experience this level and song for the very first time again.
This and Aquatic Ambiance are the most ascending tracks from this game, not only do they take you back but they invoke this deep emotion that can only really be understood by hearing it. Amazing for its time and still holds up.
both from different games though
I agree, but Aquatic Ambience is DKC1, Forest Interlude is DKC2
@@zs23100 stickerbrush symphony comes close though
This is so damn beautiful. DKC is one of the video game franchises with the best osts in gaming.
Sam! Did you actually find the steel keg noise?! I can't believe it!
This sounds so perfect. Thank you so much for restoring my favorite song!
I'm so glad this project exists.
I wish we had this for more games.
Remixes and covers are great and all, but hearing the original, clean, uncompressed music the way it was first composed is so much more satisfying.
It's like getting new glasses. Everything looks so much sharper, the way it was always meant to look and not just another interpretation of it.
Except instead of your eyes it's your ears.
David Wise made the most VGM of DKC2 by himself, thats why all the music on DKC2 feels so armonic
The restoration makes it feel like there was more to this song overall. Impeccable.
I love Stickerbrush Symphony as much as the next guy but I love this even more but the entire soundtrack for this game is so good it's unreal.
Chills. Pure chills. Sat down with my dad (who has played and also loves the trilogy) today to listen to this and we listened to it prolly 5 times. Its wonderful.
Absolutely wonderful. Great job.
Pretty cool that you can do that with your dad.
@@DKCreo Yea man I'm glad I can. Specially because its Christmas again soon and as some sort of tradition my mum dad sister and me are going to play the trilogy from start to finish. ☺️
Eu não tenho palavras para descrever o quanto esse jogo é PERFEITO 💜
Só não é Tão perfeito quanto você minha linda

damn..this hits my soul.
this is how I test out my new speakers, beautiful restoration
amazing job
I don't recall where I saw the interview, but I think it was one of the game developers that explained the purpose of this level, and the calming music was in a sense of to relax the player because this level came after the first somewhat difficult level. Rare was a top tier studio during the 90s and had great music to, their follow up game killer instinct had its own soundtrack packed in with the game called Killer Cuts.
The soundtrack is so crisp love it!! Very good job!
This is one I had been waiting for for a long time.. and it sounds absolutely amazing, thank you for your awesome work!
essa música é perfeita, esse jogo é perfeito
ouça syphon filter, mano. acho q ce vai gostar
@@cHIP3atER kskskska eu vim aqui por causa dela
eu escuto desde que lançou
os mano q fizeram essa musica sao mt avançado
Gente é só eu que acho essa música parecida com os sons que tocam em "The Perfect Girl" ou só eu que penso assim
The entire soundtrack is AMAZING!. "Ship Hold", for example, makes me feel Goosebumps. It's so powerful and Well done.
like how youve made the echoes a bit more prominent. really adds to the atmosphere of all the sound bouncing off the rocks and such
F minor7 (add 11th, 13th) to B flat. i - IV always beautiful. The other chordal tones around it and modulations also very nice. The end with the harmonica-like sound, is too much like "That's What Friends are For".
Bb Mixolydian?
When you finally recover from covid.
Curently on my way to that happiness.
DKC2 Is the perfect example of what it means to be a sequel to a game series.
I've played this game for years and I literally, just now, noticed the dynamic lightbeams through the background.
1995: I love this game!
2024: Is that Kyawthuite??
veri ril
Yes
yes.
Real.
Fantástica trilha sonora !
Que Saudades dessa época 👏🏽
this song is both happy and melancholy at the same time. i dont know how, i just feel it.
Man... that's beautiful.
Thanks from Venezuela, I love this platform game, is my favorite.
South America in general is very down to Earth like these games are. It's no surprise so many people from that place like these games :)
4:20
That end part you added was so magical. It felt like I was listening to this for the first time all over again. Sadly cut short for it being the end of the song n all, but still, chills all over.
This was my favourite music from the game. I remember spending longer on these levels to enjoy the music and left the Kongs idle when I did my homework back in the day. Thanks for the remaster of this Sam and thanks to David for the original. Respect to both creators.
i can't believe I was 8 years old when this came out. damn 3rd grade yo. I remember playing outside with my fellow neighboorhood kids on my block. Saturday morning; up and at 'em early: 8 am outside with our bikes. Not knowing what's planned for the rest of the day ahead.
So, play outside for a little. Take a bike ride down town maybe. Come back, mid afternoon sometime. Decide to go to friend's house from the block. Play this game for hours. Parents call me in for dinner time. Go outside at night ajd play manhunt or hide and seek.
Next thing we're in, call it the day/night.
Repeat for Sunday.
Maldita cancion poderosa, me despeina el bello púbico de lo poderosa que esta
This gives me PTSD of trying to get the DK Coin on those Ghost-Vine-Things
« This song sounds like I woke up from a 600 year old nap and started doing the robot dance »

Ah, a man of culture I see.
Played DKC and DKC2 today for the first time in a very long time. When I got to this stage I paused the game midway through and just started listening. Brought back so many memories of when I was a kid. This is one of the tracks that first got me interested in music.. beautiful work David Wise. Cheers.
I used to listen to this all the time when writing college papers, it really helped me relax and write more easily. This and Stickerbush are probably some of the best SNES compositions

This music is so emotional 😭
this reminds me of kyawthuite. would listen 850,000x on repeat.
I didnt think anyone else actually listened to this stuff like that but me. And then I find out people remastered it because they loved it even more than I do. You earned the sub, and thanks for making my nerdy interests feel like something that was excepted!
just when I thought this couldn't get any better..
when you've completely redone the entire game, will you release the whole OST onto one video? I'd like that
Or ya know... a playlist.
Or a downloadable album
@@andydennys_ Nice comment :D
Can't wait for Mining Melancholy!
@@unknowjlm If he can finally find that particular sample he said he was looking for that is.
This was always my favorite song from DKC2, I was sad when I found your channel and you hadn't done this one, but then I saw you were live streaming the other day and were restoring it! I am elated that it came out as perfect as it did. Thank you so much!
Never had I thought that a game that scared me when I was very young, especially the game over screen. Would have such relaxing and calming music. I could fall asleep to this.
What a wonderfull game, soundtracks, graphics. It’s so Fantastic
É aqui, aquele local aconchegante para você descansar após jogar bastante e olhar para o passado, suas mãos já não são como antes, sua visão cada vez mais cansada, você sente o peso da idade e só quer beber um chocolate quente e escutar essa canção, enquanto tivermos as lembranças, seremos eternamente crianças!
Que profundo😢
No meu caso estou tomando uma bem geladinha!
@@pelludogarbage8674 Também é uma boa.
Everyone is always talking about specific levels, but no one besides me appreciates how amazing the Rare Logo music + Intro theme was. I wish I could hear a remastered version of those.
Really gets you pumped for the game.
Yes.
Eu amo essa melodia! Seu trabalho é incrível 💙
you are meeting the fullest potential of the donkey kong country 2 ost. i love it
this is the best song for relax i swear
Guys is it fucked up that I am 34 now and still need these sounds when I feel down to remind my self when I felt happiness? 😅
No.
are you 35 now?
from the golden era of video games
Isolado no oceano, mil léguas submarinas
Meu teto feito de água, minha prisão foi esquecida
Preservado por quinze anos por membros de alta classe
Com medo dos meus poderes, temendo minha habilidade
No silêncio do profundo, eu planejo a grande fuga
O lacre já 'tá cedendo uma porta, quem vê flutua
Não posso perder meu tempo, é hora de umas visita
Visita, visita, visita, visita
Faço as estrelas ter inveja do brilho do nosso flash
Tua sala virou um hospital, o teu quarto um cemitério
Eu encostei na janela com o toque do teu boné
Você não foi um obstáculo, 'cê sabe quem é que é (Que eu sou)
No meio do nada, deixado pra mala
Pra então no começo conhecer as bala
E comigo ela fala, ela quer se alojada
A bala perdida em teu peito encontrada

Destrava dual wield, um minuto é meu disparo

Eu guardo um 550 e uma jaqueta de flak
No armário, então você sabe que eu 'to falando sério?
A morte leva sua alma equipada em traje stealth
Trancado no subsolo, eles testam minha fé
Mentiras misturam no sangue, ilhas verdes de automação
Deixo inimigos lado a lado embaixo de uma plantação
Night vision no obstáculo, ignora a frustração
Alto nível sendo testado em qualquer situação
Ayy, ayy
Bala no clip, equilíbrio zerado, cortando eles tipo Hei
Pétalas, cidra num jardim de morte com flores que eu que plantei
Antes da marra, carrega cartucho, pratica como eu te ensinei
Antes da bala, bota a balaclava antes que eu te destrua de vez
Eu quero saber se a luz ainda brilha, se tudo ainda pode voltar
Às vezes parece até distante, difícil errar só de ver
Só mentes fortes, tenta entender o que existe além da TV
Eu mato em distância, coloco uma bala entre mim e você

After years of Aquatic Ambience and Stickerbrush Symphony stealing the spotlight of my eardrums, I finally stumbled upon this piece amidst a Nintendo Playlist.
I've NEVER played a Donkey Kong Country game, I think it's time I do.
This track is testament to that, it's simply incredible. I think it's my absolute favorite until further notice.
David Wise, what a composer...
i didnt realize how visually stunning this game is. I love the light rays moving and peeking through the canopy! So much texture!
3:13 GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUR OF MY HEAD
Holy shit, there's amogus even here, wtf wth that's the song used in amogus comic
i hate it as well
This reminds me of a story about a boy "Long,Long ago there was a boy who stayed alone in the empty space of a deep cave.He is still waiting for the day when he can sit on the moon together with the girl who suddenly left when he was young,Somewhere in the forest and talk again.once in a thousand years,in the deepest parts of the forest.

This piece is literally one of the most apreciated things I've got in life, it remainds me of better times.
I remember playing this game on the GBA, and getting to the forest map, when this song hit my eardrums, I was flooded with all sorts of emotions. It felt so sad and foreboding, yet calming and intriguing. It's still my favorite Donkey Kong song to date, and one of my favorite video game themes of all time.
