Mining Melancholy (Donkey Kong Country 2) Cover | Michelle Heafy

[@michelleheafy]

Here's Mining Melancholy from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest! This is one of many iconic songs composed by David Wise! This is my favorite game, with my favorite soundtrack, and composer! *Update:* Now on Spotify: spoti.fi/2lCeOtu iTunes!: apple.co/2lM9qnT and all major music platforms!

[@TylerDaSilva522]

I've been listening to your music for about a month now and I really like it. I have been waiting for your next upload. Sounds good!

[@MotherKojiro]

Great cover from a great soundtrack! Speaking of David Wise, have you ever heard of Tengami? It's a Point-and-Click Adventure for the Wii U and PC with very colorful artwork with a traditional Japanese style that's arranged to look and play something like a pop-up book. David Wise composed the score and it shows; I was getting some pretty heavy Donkey Kong Country 2 vibes from a number of the tunes.

[@gruforevs]

good choice for favourite composer, David Wise is a genius

[@michelleheafy]

Oh thanks!! I'm almost done with my new video too - hopefully within the next couple of days! :)

[@RobertWiiWesker4]

Michelle Heafy is Love, Michelle Heafy is Life.

[@WilfredCthulu]

Always get hard chills when the chorus kicks in.

[@Nova46938]

Me too

[@ebayseller6040]

[@matthewkheafy]

INSANE!!!!!

[@michelleheafy]

yayy thank you Matthewww! :D :D

[@FrancoisTremblay77]

Because of Michelle now I heard about you and your band :) Really good

[@theftking]

My gosh... incredible.

[@SpeedbreakerNo1]

That's the best song from DKC2, a game that has one of the best soundtracks in all of gaming history. David Wise should be proud of you for making an already great song even better. Thank you for this gem, Michelle.

[@jjb2655]

I completely lost it when you started dancing at 1:05 lol hope you can incorporate more dancing, great stuff as always!!

[@michelleheafy]

Haha I'm glad you enjoyed that! Thank you :D

[@Petsinwinter2]

This and Stickerbrush Symphony were the first bgm to really stand out to me way back when I was a small child. Stickerbrush has of course been covered by so many people, but this one is nowhere near as famous, so I appreciate you covering it so much.

[@donutdrums]

Amazing! Great job! That percussion is phenomenal! I love all the layers and your vocals add so much to the song! This is soooooooo good!

[@Spinpika]

Totally agreed matt (💛spinpikachu)

[@michelleheafy]

Thank you

[@VicenteFuentes]

It is such a precious music!! Thanks Michelle from Madrid, Spain :)

[@ChereraTaguato]

love the blast of power on those last few notes

[@rodhorton9341]

Michelle you still make the best videos in the world keep them coming 2023

[@Anonymousaggro]

I audibly gasped when I saw this in my feed. This is my absolute favorite DKC song and one of my favorite video game songs in general. You blew it out of the water with this performance!

[@SoLinkSmash]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS a day when Michelle uploads is better than 99% of all other days. It's so lovely as always

[@kappakiev9672]

I can feel it, caaaaalling in the air toniiiight

[@mruss31415]

*coming. But I know, right? Waiting for that drum fill.

[@Takosaga]

As a teacher I play DK2 before the first day of school to remind of what good teaching to the player is, I could go on about the level design but it is the music that helps me through the tough parts. This is one of the best versions of mining melancholy, girl you just keep doing versions of stuff I grew on. Keep on :)

[@Greenzakana]

What a beautiful chorus!!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Yesssss you're killin the drumming game!!! Really cool sounds in this one :)

[@michelleheafy]

Yayyy! Thank you!!! I really appreciate it! :D Glad you enjoyed it!

Man, I thought this would only be a drum cover, but dang. This is awesome.

[@lancewinchester1000]

Get into the groove! Everybody move! I love the striking peaceful rythm, really soothing. The cover is really deep and soulful. Beautiful job like usual Michelle. I really understand why you love so much this magic soundtrack. Very enchanting.

[@jud6ment]

Another great upload. Donkey Kong Country is such a great series, hope to see more, thanks for sharing.

[@fairfaxblackthorn832]

This is spectacular! I’ve watched your videos for a long time, eagerly anticipating Mining Melancholy. Hot-Head Bop drew me in, and Forest Interlude and Krook’s March kept my attention. For some reason I never thought to actually check your channel for more beautiful covers, but I’ve finally come to my senses. The DKC2 music takes me back two decades, to fond memories of playing my favourite game. Thank you for that experience. I can’t wait to explore more of your work.

[@mattgrundy27]

Amazing job! That was really beautifully done. The hums toward the end gave me chills!

[@michelleheafy]

Thank you so much, I"m glad you enjoyed this! :D

[@mattgrundy27]

@@michelleheafy I did. You and Matt are truly inspiring. Your parents should be proud. Keep doing what you do. Thanks =)

[@alexschaeller8881]

Oh man!! What is this?!?! Truly amazing!! The song by itself is awesome, then you put it all foward! The drums, the frame dance, I am spechless

[@NintendoCade]

Absolutely amazing! It is one of my favorite David Wise compositions and you brought it to life in 2019!

My favorite dkc2/3 melody! Thanks for uploading

[@gbzmr]

As always your covers are on point. I still find myself pretty much binge-listening thru your entire playlist of VG covers everytime you release a new song. Your voice is amazing, and the way you put these covers together blows me away. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to making us nerds smile.

[@jesterkitty4]
