@@JuliaHenderson Hahah!!! In the game Monkey Island the main character Guybrush Threepwood sometimes makes jokes. He said "Well, that's the second biggest monkey head I have ever seen" in one of the first episodes when seeing a big monkey head. He meant, that the biggest monkey head was the head of the guy/girl playing the game! ;-) In the following episodes of the game the joke "that's the second ???-est ??? I have ever seen" kept returning. So, no... I don't have a better cover for you to share :-) I just wanted to say your cover is super and I really love it, in Monkey Island style :-) Keep on doing the great work! Thanks!!!!!!!
THIS COVER IS MONKEYING WITH MY EMOTIONS! Seriously, this is great. I was wondering what to expect after the piano intro, and then the 12 string came in and everything was fabulous. Loving the shots with the flute, your video looks so warm and cozy, and I guess that feeling is enhanced by the instrumentation of this tune. A few parts remind me of Lugia's Song from Pokémon 2000. I love to see you expanding your instrumentation, keep trying new things :)
So so glad you liked it, Carlos! I definitely was going for warmth in the mix with this one. I will always be trying new things! Thanks for being an inspiration in that respect :D
Whoever in his life did not help Guybrush Threepwood discover all the secrets of Monkey Island with a package of 15 floppy disks , will never understand the beauty of this melody :)
I still remember when my uncle showed me this absolute revelation of a game on his fabulous PC back in the 90s. Completely changed my perspective on video games. To read my full essay insert disk 42.
Really captivating work Julia! I appreciated all your little splashes of counterpoint and chord extensions, which put a really sweet and personal touch on this.
You are the soul of Monkey Island. When everything goes wrong, I come here to listen again and again and again, and then world looks better, as I look at it as a 15 years old (now I am 48). You are my TARDIS, you are my 14th Doctor Who. Never go away.
This is absolutely superb. It’s my favourite game soundtrack ever. You’ve made it that little bit more mature and somewhat haunting. Amazing. Thank you so much for recording and sharing it with the world 🙏😍
Juliaaaaa, all these angles look beeeautiful. I seriously love when people use their living room as background. It look super warm and nice to watch!! U SO NICE
wow, this is amazing. I feel a strange nostalgy every time i hear this tune. This version is just amazing, gives me goosebumps. I think it is because of this feeling of playing this game, with happiness and joyfulness, without problems or worries, with my parents still alive, and my brothers playing in the house. I miss that so much. Thank you very much Julia
I can defenitely say for sure, this is by far my personal favourite cover you've done. Loved the piano buildup and how it all came together with the flute and the vocals. Brilliantly done, Julia!
Monkey Island is one of my favorite franchises ever and has my favorite soundtrack ever, but this cover... without changing much (many of the great covers I’ve seen change things up quite a bit) you were able to really imbue it with an evolved sense of identity!
The fact you are so un-static with your arrangements, and that you are ever pushing your creative bounds, is very inspiring. The flute chops were excellent and really pushed this over the edge to something special.
Thanks so much! I'm constantly experimenting with new things and I'm really glad you've been liking it. I have also been practising flute lots since picking it up again so I'm glad you liked that as well :)
OMG!! What a superb piece of music this is and so beautifully covered by you. I spent hours immersed in this game. It really clicks inside. Thank you from CR.
I just keep coming back to this, I can’t stop listening. Everything about the arrangement is superb. Vocal harmonies give me chills, and every instrument is played with beautiful expression. And the video is just crystal clear. I will be back to listen to this tomorrow, and the next day. Haha!
There use to be this video of a guy playing a white electric guitar and the screen was split horizontally so he could show the 2 parts of the guitar he was playing to make the theme of Monkey Island. it was honestly the best version of the song I ever heard, and I long to hear it again. well, it was, this now takes the top spot, please not private this video, or remove it etc...outstanding work.
This cover is available for stream/download on all your favourite platforms on my VGM Cover Album "Dawn" ►► album.link/Dawn For darker sonic flavours, check out the second album in the series "Dusk" ►► album.link/Dusk
Julia, thank you so much for this brilliant cover - it's by far the best I have heard so far. Listening to this over and over during work - truly inspiring. You are simply awesome. cheers from Vienna
Is this version available for download outside the world of google and in 24bit 96kHz upwards?😁 Because I imagine it'll sound even more amazing on my big system.

Ahh the colors, the video and audio quality! I can't take it, it's too much! D: It was great seeing more instruments from you, it's always nice to expand the the instrumentation range in a creative way! Great job! :D
Wow this is gorgeous! I just came across your channel and was scrolling your videos and had a squee moment at seeing Monkey Island and damn am I ever glad I clicked on it.
I have to confess, you have pulled me a smile. I listen to this song and I still get goosebumps. What good memories this game brings me and how many hours of fun I've spent playing Monkey Island 1, 2 and 3. I loved this cover!
Man I was born in 2001, I remember it clear as day the game that got me into gaming... in 2007 Escape from monkey island... man I wanna cry... I recently bought all of the parts on steam. I love you guybrush, I wish there was more games in the series..
Absolutely brilliant! Great job! Now... I wanna be a pirate! You caught all the magic from the Monkey Island music. I felt like visiting those mysterious island and saving Elaine Marley again :-) By the way... you fight like a dairy farmer XD.
¡Gracias!
Very nice. Now all you need is a metronome with a banana on it.
This is the second best cover I have ever heard! ;-)
Thank you! What's the first??

And that joke must come from the original Get Smart series.
I... Love that :D
I'll second that!

Speaking of which: I'd love to see a cover of Lugia's Song (The Legend Comes to Life) made with this talent and orchestration!
Amazing original cover from a classic ! Well done, Miss 👍🏽. You made my day !!
Wonderful!!! Wow!!! I heard Monkey Island's theme covers in the past, but this is really the best!!
So glad I found this!
Made my morning :)
Amazing work 👍
Thank you Emanuel!
and again... after a few years I came across your video and it fascinates me, delights me. Thank you so much for this one.
Whoever in his life did not help Guybrush Threepwood discover all the
secrets of Monkey Island with a package of 15 floppy disks , will never
understand the beauty of this melody :)
Call 1900-740-JEDI
15 floppy disks? I came to the aid of Threepwood with a CD-ROM in 1994, but I was late!
I Came to his aid with the original 94 CD but I also came to his aid in the HD remaster! and I will continue to do so as long as I can on my PS3
SOTM was only (only, ha!) on about 4. Maybe double that if you had 5 1/4 disks. Plus the legendary disk 22.
Monkey Island 2, on the other hand...
I still remember when my uncle showed me this absolute revelation of a game on his fabulous PC back in the 90s. Completely changed my perspective on video games.

This is AWESOME!!! Thank You for sharing this!!
Really captivating work Julia! I appreciated all your little splashes of counterpoint and chord extensions, which put a really sweet and personal touch on this.
Yessss! You noticed my counterpoint
You are the soul of Monkey Island. When everything goes wrong, I come here to listen again and again and again, and then world looks better, as I look at it as a 15 years old (now I am 48). You are my TARDIS, you are my 14th Doctor Who. Never go away.
Danke!
Beautifully layered - I like how you lead in nicely to when it gets softer and about to pick up.
This is absolutely superb. It’s my favourite game soundtrack ever. You’ve made it that little bit more mature and somewhat haunting. Amazing. Thank you so much for recording and sharing it with the world 🙏😍
Juliaaaaa, all these angles look beeeautiful. I seriously love when people use their living room as background. It look super warm and nice to watch!! U SO NICE
Thank you Ale!! I went with very warm colours on this one. Glad you like it! :D
