One of my biggest complaints about covers of this song are when people go too hard or too soft and lose the atmospheric vibe that David Wise first created. But you nailed it! The progressive dynamic is so powerful! It sounds so good, without foresaking the somberness of the original! It feels like nearing the conclusion of an epic adventure!
Hard agree. I listened to other covers after listening to this one and they genuinely made me cringe. This particular cover has been on loop for like two days now. 😂
A metal version of this special song feels like witnessing my childhood and lost innocence, facing the crude realities of the world, and then being invigorated to keep up. Amazing!
I remember you mentioning for a while you wanted to get to this song, and holy moly you blew it out of the park as usual! The buildup of the softness for the first minute, going into the centered lead guitar, finally culminating around 1:09 is so satisfying.
I wondered, “How the heck is he gonna make this one metal?!” And I guess I just learned to never question how good a job you can freaking do. It’s a perfect balance of the gentle nature of the original track and the intensity of metal. Also even if the original track is relaxing, these stages (and that segment in Animal Antics) always give me anxiety even after seemingly endless playthroughs, so it fits!
i remember hearing this song in the game as a kid and thinking to myself how pretty it sounded. come to find out it's getting the recognition it deserves!
This is so damn glorious, the way it starts so calmy how it slowly turns into a metal explosion without losing it's original vibe, best of both worlds, truly amazing. Also I love what you did with the "guitar solo".
Man this just sounded incredibly good. You always deliver excellent audio quality on top of the fact it's arranged and performed amazingly. Oh, Dixie Kong must be your "spiritual animal" bc she shreds too. Lol
Never knew you covered this song, this song was a masterpiece already and youve took it to the next level brother. Shit made me tear up, thinking back to the old days playijg this game and just being amazed over the incredible music. Times were so much simpler back than.
An awesome cover of possibly one of the most beautiful sounding tunes in video game history. I'm quite curious as to what you are using for your lighting effects there.
This is sooo good and I knew it would be sooo good that I'm literally at work right now, I'm behind and need to catch up, but not until this song is over : ) Great job as always! Added it to my play list without even thinking about it.
I... wooow. I don't know what I was expecting, but this fucking completely blew my mind. I didn't think that song could ever be metal and yet here we are! That was full on awesome, dude! 🤘
This is the first thing i see when i wake up and its crazy how it felt like i was hearing this cover in my dream the whole time, this cover is medicine for my brain, keep it up Jack, much love to you homie! 🖤🖤🖤🤘🏽🔥
Legendary upload, I am here early. With only 5200 views and under 100 comments. Thanks for this. DK2 was the first game I bought for myself as a kid at k-mart. lol, it was birthday money. I remember my first reaction was hating the pirate ship world lmfao.
Metal version? More like cosmic version. Bad jokes aside, I always thought your finest cover was Spark Mandril's but this one clearly surpassed it, incredible work, man!
This is one of my favorite that you have ever done. I didn’t know the song from the game… what I do know is I can expect great things from you every time. What you did was so melodic and technical at the same time. Especially love the solo into that chill ending. BRAVO
AAAAH, you always make sickest dk covers i just knew that this had to be a thing eventually what a great way to start september also, that spacey vibe going on with the lighting is so good, If this was the last song I heard ever id be ok with that

This theme has something special; I remember listening to it a lot many years ago, and letting my thoughts wander... Right in the feels!

Welp, I know what I'm going to have on repeat for the rest of the day.
Oh man nothing more nostalgic than DKC2, except you covering DKC2. Awesome arrangement man

It feels so insightful. Like there's some grand question of life that I have no choice but to ponder as I listen.
It’s amazing how you can metallic calming songs like that. So glad my favorite song is getting played by T.E
It's simultaneously super chill and an absolute banger. Love it.
Bro this rocks.
The totally chill introduction leading into the everything else, it's all so dope dude, such a great cover
This is easily one of your best covers. That build-up is so good.

A great cover of one of the best songs of the 16-bit era!

Top demais. Que nostalgia relembrar essa fase clássica do DK, tinha que passar com mente limpa para sincronizar os barris, e a música ajudava muito.
This sounds pretty good!
the only downside of this cover is that it isnt long enough, but thats what the replay button is for. 11/10
This has no business being this awesome. 🤘🤘
Awesome work.
Majestic!
This would be perfect surviving through Halloween with this.
