Mining Melancholy ~ Donkey Kong Country 2 ~ Piano and Organ

[@GameXplain]

This is an absolutely wonderful rendition! Love the glasses!

[@KaraComparetto]

so glad! I wasn't sure what people would think of that! XD

[@Ironfungus]

The GLASSES! 🍷Most excellent. 😆 Sounds like ... mining ....

[@KaraComparetto]

lol haha now I have that cute little miner from HK singing in my head :P

[@rux_ton]

Yes!! Another banger! I was wondering how you'd do the percussive bits, that was SO CLEVER! I love this one!

[@Dargonhuman]

I had the exact same thought about the percussive chimes, and I too adore the solution.

[@KaraComparetto]

yeah I knew I needed SOMETHING there instead of silence, but I didn't want it to overpower the track, im glad you liked my choice! XD

[@classicsbycandace]

I haven’t heard this song in years! I loved playing this game as a little girl. Thank you for sharing this amazing performance, Kara! You rock, girl! ❤🙋🏽‍♀️🐵

[@Luck__ADMN]

The use of the organ is genius for this one! It really adds the same texture that original one has! I really like it!

[@KaraComparetto]

Yes that's what I was going for! thank you!

[@Derigo21]

This is my favorite song from the game. So happy to see this post.

[@KaraComparetto]

aw that's great, you're not the first to say that!

[@Simmer1983]

Always nice to see the Comparetto twins in action. 😉

[@istrasci]

Does she really have a twin and somehow I've never known?

[@thend4427]

​@@istrascino lol

[@KaraComparetto]

you'll never know >:)

[@philipbrowning3544]

Ah, using the glasses really added a nice element to this. Thankfully not too melancholy, things can get heavy this time of year. This was a much-needed smile, thank you!

[@KaraComparetto]

Glad you liked it Philip! I wasn't too sure what people would think of the glasses. whenever I do something new I get a little nervous :P

[@ColetivoLunar]

This hits right in the nostalgia. You are very talented, thank you for sharing such an amazing gift with us!

[@KaraComparetto]

thanks so much! :) it hits me too

[@Rot8Lord]

oh kara you do those wonderful soundtrack videos from donkey kong and others games. i have found your "super mario paino medley". so beautiful. this combination between piano and organ sounds so amazing. in this song starts "0:30 - 0:58 " is so beautiful. my favourite part. i could not stop listening to your video here and your other donkey kong piano medleys

[@KaraComparetto]

wow this is soooo nice, thank you so much, im glad you have enjoyed all the videos. I have several more DK songs coming soon, one new one tomorrow!

[@chrisbeach423]

Such a criminally underrated channel! Never disappoints! The fact that KZbin just recently recommended her to me, and finding out she’s been doing this for YEARS. Upsets me. KZbin recommends me stupid shit while pure talent like this is on the platform. ❤️

[@someonefromcanada2668]

So glad you found her. I'm just like you. I can't believe she doesn't have over 100K subs already. She has entire soundtracks of over 1hour played flawlessly. Please stick around and share with friends :)

[@KaraComparetto]

Honestly I feel sad about that too, I don't understand KZbin sometimes! It used to be so much better and I would get into a good algorithm for people who like this kind of content :( anyways, im glad you finally found me!!

[@capttovgmc1500]

Wow... WOW... I love it *tears up*

[@robertrichard6056]

This is fantastic! Thank you, Kara!

[@jeffarwady]

I love the use of glasses instead of a synth, very cool sound! Outfits on point as usual, and we get the cool winter boots too 😊. Everything is “just so”. Thanks for another solid performance Kara.

[@KaraComparetto]

I had to think of something "acoustic", and it sounded most like glasses to me haha!

[@jairestebanparales9454]

My fav song from my fav game ever ☺️

[@captindo]

A thing of beauty.

[@karhukoira]

Such a cool approach to "film" yourself playing with your "twin" 😄

[@KaraComparetto]

yeah it was fun to act it out haha!

[@marti5066]

I cannot start my day without listening this song! Thank you so much for share it to us, I really love your content!!!!!

[@Fire_Joce]

omg that was soo good!!!!!! Good job Kara, again you make the music the best thing in the world. DK2 have so much good music. Pls play them all xD

[@KaraComparetto]

thank you Jocelin!!

[@Fire_Joce]

Ohh i can't wait !! 😁

[@rolltide372109]

This was amazing!!!!! You are so talented. Thank you for posting.

[@KaraComparetto]

thank you for listening!! :D

[@muramasa24]

these instruments are never in a boring room I love it

[@someonefromcanada2668]

I love pretty much all performances you post, but this one is extra!! Music sounds amazing and honestly, I don't understand how you edited this so we see you at both instruments at the same time! I knew you were great, but cloning yourself is on another level! Thanks for sharing your talent for the benefit of our entertainment and well-being. Wish I could make it to more of your streams. -blake2

[@KaraComparetto]

aw thank you! yes I miss you at the streams! Hope you can make one soon. I'm glad you saw something special in this one! I can't wait to share the rest :)

[@wguardia2709]

I expected you hitting the piano as you used to do in your streams for percussion... using glasses half-filled with water was not only clever but sounded close to the original. And the rest of the melody top notch. Well done, Kara! ❤

[@KaraComparetto]

yeah for this one, the hitting of the piano wasn't gonna work that well, I had to think of something creative! I don't think I got the pitches exactly right LOL but I tried XD

[@fireandsound]

One of my favorite tracks from this game and your performance is perfect!

[@KaraComparetto]

Yesss thank you so much!!

[@marceloteixeira702]

Thanks for using your talent to work on the songs of this amazing game, which brings me sweet memories of my childhood, and sharing your work with us. Greetings from Brazil!

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you! I have the same love for this wonderful game!

[@jeremyburns495]

Magnificent!

[@utfitnessfan2847]

Grateful for your music! You’re making the internet a better place with each video.

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you, ill keep it up!

[@RafaelAcurcio]

Thank you for another video in the DKC2 cover train! Greatly performed!

[@KaraComparetto]

[@KaraComparetto]

[@Prnasso.imgnrio]

lovely stunning!!

[@HighFuel90]

My favorite song! I’ve been waiting for this one! :)

[@KaraComparetto]

yay!!!

[@huggie5583]

I love the organ in this one. I'm really looking forward to Krook's March.

[@KaraComparetto]

you have good taste, that's my favorite that I recorded, it's soooo good for piano/organ! Gonna be a few weeks since that's at the end of the OST :)

[@johnwebb4499]

You look so good in those hats. I always thought Dixie Kong was cute as a cartoon. But on you 😍

[@KaraComparetto]

HAHA! thank you :)

[@Azuris190]

You are absolutly admirable. Hope you'll keep enchanting us with your Talent for a long While :D

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you, I will! :)

[@XIMCentral]

Wow! That was JUST WOW!

[@KaraComparetto]

[@hexyearhexyear]

lovely take! made for a great first song of the day for me.

[@KaraComparetto]

yay!! :)

[@tylerhallon5007]

So great! Truly fantastic and wonderful! I hope the percussion glasses are here to stay! Magitek factory, robo's theme and so many more.. but if not, it was still terrific! Thanks Kara! (Wow I used lots of exclamation points, I'm not really yelling just typing 😂🤣😂🤣😂)

[@KaraComparetto]

you're yelling, I know it!! >:( hahah just kidding, thanks Ty!

[@paulanderson929]

[@classicmikestar]

@@KaraComparetto I did and I enjoyed it very much. You definitely have talent and as a professional filmmaker, I'd be honoured one day if you scored one of my films ;) keep up the great work. Cheers from Sydney.

[@__redacted__]

I like the opening percussion!

[@KaraComparetto]

yay I wasn't sure what you all would think! XD

[@lahleeloolayloh]

Love this!

[@ndr_32]

I never imagined that glasses would make the exact sound haha

[@KaraComparetto]

haha that's what I heard right away when I started listening closely to the OST for this album!

[@yankdattoof88]

Excellent!

[@prsilva37]

One of my favorites DKC2 songs! That's awesome!! 👏❤

[@KaraComparetto]

oh awesome! It will appear again in my set of 18 songs, coming soon! :D

[@LuanWolfz]

Really nostalgic, magic, and beautiful!! 🎹🎵🎶❤❤❤❤❤🙈🙉🙊🐒🐵🐒🐵

[@Paul-to1nb]

Love it! The glasses are a great touch. All of the layers sound great! My mind fills in the bees zinging quite well.

[@Dargonhuman]

And the barrel blasts lol. So ... many ... barrel ... blasts, especially if you miss one and fall alllll the way to the bottom 💀. The only upside is listening to the music that much longer.

[@KaraComparetto]

LOL the barrel blasts, yes!! XD@@Dargonhuman

[@KingofGeo]

Whoa did you find the other you in a barrel? or did you need to collect 100 Bananas? ( I love the improved cinematography, but the sound is ultimately what I am here for and it is always great. ) P.S. Check out Super Mario RPG, it is a game from the golden age of SNES music that is gaining popularity with its re-release on switch and you could make it sound even better. Thank you!

[@KaraComparetto]

thank you! yes the sound is most important, I worked so hard on it! I played SMRPG last year for the first time on a live stream :) I appreciate much of the music but probably not a big enough fan to record too many professionally. I play them on stream a lot though! And I posted this on on my alt account :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5q8q42fmtdle6Msi=I1ov2YM4x5m_Gr0Z

[@Dargonhuman]

Absolutely lovely! Hm? Oh, I'm just right-clicking and selecting "Loop" for the next couple hours, don't mind me.

[@KaraComparetto]

Do I need to make an extended version? :D

[@Dargonhuman]

@@KaraComparetto I don't think any of us would object to that 😉

[@bluephinix]

I love this track. In my opinion, the best in the whole game.

[@KaraComparetto]

It's sooo hard for me to pick! I love this one for sure, it's a top for me :)

[@1793Max]

Ayyyyyy :)

[@anthonychobotdoespopcultur7762]

Awesome

[@DanielDugovic]

This is one of those songs I could listen to all day... energetic, but not noisy. Somehow I hadn't noticed the rhythmic nuance in the glockenspiel until now. I guess I always counted it and the drum part together.

[@KaraComparetto]

yeah I know how the percussion stuff basically continues through the whole piece but I didn't think it worked for my arrangement so I kept it short and sweet haha. :)

[@DanielDugovic]

I prefer your version! But also, listening to the OST I find the timpani so overpowering that it's tricky to hear the bells (the last couple measures of that part) and their cool rhythm.

[@not_the_vampire]

The wait was arduous but we finally made it, folks.

[@KaraComparetto]

got more to come, it's just beginning! :D

[@ZDog427]

The organ sounds great! I think this is better than the original!

[@KaraComparetto]

LIES!!!

[@angie_indie]

Wow!!!! Amazing!!!!❤❤❤

Aww thank you Angie!!

[@bozistheboss]

[@Darkstar263]

My favourite tune in DKC 2 👍

[@KaraComparetto]

oh, awesome!

[@chrisbeach423]

Hopefully the whole DKC2 playlist is coming?!?

[@Dargonhuman]

That's the plan. I don't remember if it was in the last video or a community post but she did state that she will be doing the entire OST the same way she did Chrono Trigger earlier this year.

[@KaraComparetto]

well....not the ENTIRE OST, it's 39 tracks and I decided not to do them all for YT, so I did the best 18 :) I'm considering recording ALL of the rest of them on the piano though (when I get time, that's the tricky part), so that someone can make a modded version of the game :)

[@たむたむ-v5v]

素敵&好きです😌💓

[@KaraComparetto]

私はあなたがそれを好きうれしい！

[@gahendrix1]

Well that was fun and interesting. How long did it take you to get those glasses in-tune?😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@KaraComparetto]

Well..they aren't really in tune HAHA I just tried to get them lower or higher depending how the OST was!

[@fel_7264]

Please more donkey kong! These are great

[@KaraComparetto]

I have a whole set coming at ya soon!

Oh my gosh! Get out of here! This is too good to be true!

Please don't roast me for this question, I'm serious, is this Kara in two different outfits or is this two different people playing?

It’s Kara in 2 different outfits.
