DKC soundtracks were always amazing and hold a special nostalgic place in my heart but you put so much feeling into these renditions that they actually became moving, incredible work
David Wise himself has said that Forest Interlude is his personal favorite. Amazing, amazing tunes...they'll forever touch me in a nostalgic way that no other music really can.
DKC2 is my favorite. And now so is this video. The playing for each song is just so perfect and she nailed the cadence so satisfyingly. If Lara ever has a Best Of album, these takes should be on it.
I showed up on your channel because of your Through The Fire and Flames covers. I saw this in my recommended immediately after I saw those. DKC is my favorite video game series. I don't know how to smack the "Subscribe" button any harder.
Wow, I was not expecting how good this is! Phenomenal work. I've heard these songs over and over again through game play and covers but I don't think I've ever heard them played as beautifully as you did here. Thank you for posting this.
That is the most beautiful rendition of "Hot-Head Hop" I've ever heard. You've taken all of these compositions to the next level. It's a treat to hear them like this.
I think I just looped this video 10 times today, I'm happier than yesterday and I worked 10 times better than usual. Fuck, thanks Lara, for everything.
Dkc has to be one of the best soundtracks i have ever heard and you played it flawlessly this was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for making this!
4th time commenting on this. Simply beautiful. I've listened to this dozens of times, probably over 50 times. I'm still not tired of it. In fact, the more I come back to it, the more I appreciate this segment of art. It's the only track I have on my music player with 5 stars (I keep my "top" choices at 4 stars to reserve the last star for the extraordinary). Thank you.
I've always been a huge fan of the DKC series and the soundtracks. I've always considered Hot Head Bop was a decent song but not necessarily among my favorites. With that being said, this rendition is simply incredible. I think this song gains a lot from this high quality piano cover. The composition and the varying intensity add a layer of suspense/drama, which benefits the song greatly. Thank you for this.
Wonderful !!! I love the Donkey Kong Country Music !!! And your performance is so magnificent !!! Thank you so much for this pleasure that you offer to us !!! You are a marvellous artist !!! Playing like an angel !!!
@@finestcustard5647 I wouldn't say too good because the game was one of the best for the platform imho but it wouldn't be as good without this amazing soundtrack.
In a snow-bound land it's an amazing arragement. Sometimes makes me feel happy, sometimes makes feel sad and I cry whit it. However, always that I listen to it makes me feel quiet. Amazing Lara, thank you so much for this
Estou chorando aqui em ouvir você tocando essas músicas. É um sentimento tão forte que essas músicas passam. As músicas da franquia Donkey Kong nunca despontam, ainda mais com uma pessoa talentosa que és tocando em um piano. Muito obrigado Iara6683.
When it comes to favorite songs in the DKC games, Aquatic Ambience & Stickerbrush Symphony (mainly the latter) are what come to mind for most DKC fans (at least that's what I've heard)!
Have no word to describe your pianos' habilities. Congratulation for you. I'm a huge fan of Donkey and Piano as well hahaha .. Can you imagine both together? Once again, congratulation. I wish someday I play the same way you do.
Your take is beautiful, it's nice how we all have a collective memory in tangent with this game. Filled with memories and experiences of our lives that have happines, melancholy, nostalgia and well being. We all played this and shared it with friends family and lovers. Again, beautiful take.
Ffs, you probably spend decades getting this good, but you play so effortless Lara, simply amazing. Also I never gave it any thought, but some of this video game music is pretty complicated!
I was 17 when I got DK Country. The game blew my mind. The graphics were way ahead of it's time. The game play is fun and the music is great. Now I'm 47 and still can't beat the game. lol
I’d love piano sheet music for a medley of stickerbush,aquatic ambience & forest interlude, in style of lara6683. It would be amazing to play. Lara’s versions are not over the top, very relaxing interpretations. Love coming back to this.
Yo this medley is transcendent. I know Stickerbush is the most popular, but your arrangement of it particularly slaps here. I honestly think this video could be over an hour long, with some other DK gems, especially from Tropical Freeze. That’s basically why I’m writing this comment. Please grace us with such a medley one day
A Nintendo está eternamente em meu coração, por ter nos presenteados com tantos clássicos. E "Stickerbrush Symphony" é absurda, minha favorita! David Wise 🙏🏽👏🏽 Thanks, Lara!
Love those DKC songs. So much emotion put into your playing. I am just starting to learn piano. I'll have to watch your hands and learn a few [million] things!
My socials are all here: www.linktr.ee/lara6683/
Thank you for us 30-something year olds you've made so happy
some of us kids that grew up in the early 2000s too though, I grew up playing on both Super Nintendo, N64 and NGC. :)

What a way to start this video, Aquatic Ambience 😍
Yeah it's the best
Yeah it's the best and her version of it is heavy
Why is she hot?

in a snow bound land is my favorite
such a celestial, peaceful and pure song
and I love snow
Any chance to download hi-quality versions of these anywhere ? Would love to download / purchase them if possible!? Definitely would work well on bandcamp :)
brings back nostalgic moments when i played it on snes. The soundtracks of the game is epic till this day. nothing compares to it!
The underwater theme is one of the most beautiful pieces of music in all of gaming, maybe in all of music. It’s so beautiful
Even as a young kid I knew there was something special about the DKC games compositions and you're amazing at recreating them
Exactly, I was always touched by those songs.
@@alfredosilvaneto Same. I get goosebumps everytime I hear them
We were spoiled honestly. The first two Country games are exceptional
Both DKC and DKC2's soundtrack are so special. We were spoiled in the 90s with some amazing OSTs for video games.

Today I went to the gym at 5am, went to yoga class at 6am, then at 7am I began working and put this song on to focus. I'm having a great day Monday!
DKC soundtracks were always amazing and hold a special nostalgic place in my heart but you put so much feeling into these renditions that they actually became moving, incredible work
The music in DKC is, hands down, my favourite music in any video game, ever, and this is a beautiful rendition of it. Absolutely wonderful.
Play nier automata
One of the reasons why I still play DKC2 every year or so since the 90s.
Stickerbrush Symphony and Forest Interlude are the best melodies ever made
And maybe aquatic ambiance
David Wise himself has said that Forest Interlude is his personal favorite. Amazing, amazing tunes...they'll forever touch me in a nostalgic way that no other music really can.
Flight of the Zinger
you put me 20years ago playing aqua ambience, what a sensitivity! TY
Yeah it's almost a bit emotional!
DKC2 is my favorite. And now so is this video. The playing for each song is just so perfect and she nailed the cadence so satisfyingly. If Lara ever has a Best Of album, these takes should be on it.

Thank you so very much for this, these songs mean a lot to me. :) Your are an immensely talented musician.

8:12 Perfection
That rendition of Aquatic Ambience... *chef's kiss*
What a start. Definitely liking and listening to the rest of this.
So well played. Such emotion. Great interpretation and feeling! You are incredibly talented!
Dkc has to be one of the best soundtracks i have ever heard and you played it flawlessly this was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for making this!
This just elevated these already great soundtracks to whole new levels. Definitely would pay for this album!
The first second I already got goosebumps! Nostalgia incoming. Thank you so much!
ugh. The Music to this game is defiantly in the upper echelon of greatest video game soundtracks of all time. You took it and made it SO MUCH BETTER!
I was in a trance listening to this pure magic...Your work is amazing, everybody should listen this!!
Absolutely fantastic. I've spent the last 27:54 with misty eyes!
Good lord what a intro, David Wise should be proud
Oh man, this is great. Your renditions of these songs are hauntingly beautiful.
7:25 so dramatic performance of that piece. Amazing
20:07 such bright memories about this music. Thank you
She is seriously amazing. Subbed.

Incredible you never miss a beat, stay in perfect timing and don’t make any mistakes. I don’t understand , you make it look so easy.
First notes of aquatic ambience literally sent shivers down my spine :o amazing work!
Wonderfully calming. I didn't realize I needed this, thank you.
I keep watching this video while I try to sleep, it reminds of a really good time
Dkc2 is my favorite and you really did it justice!
Best I've ever heard! So much passion and soul, not robotic as you see sometimes. Respect.
My favourite series. Very nice.
EDIT: Very nice was too much of an understatement. I absolutely love it.
This makes me cry, it's really beautiful ❤
Its true, very powerful stuff. Extremely beautiful.
K weno k compartimos los mismos gustos de k pais eres k bueno saber de ti amiga :)
Why she hot?
Aquatic Ambience, Fear Factory, and Gangplank Galleon are the best Donkey Kong 1 songs.
I'd also add Funky's Fugue and the music that plays in the Blackout Basement stage ( always forget the name of that song... )
Life In The Mines should be up there too
Ice cave chant where?
Ice cave too
These songs mean so much to many people. Thanks for this
that aquatic ambience rendition made me cry. touched my soul. thank you , you are an inspiration!
You make these songs sound even more beautiful than than already are. Amazing work! Kudos.

Hot Head Bop and Mining Melancholy are my favourites! They sounded so good!
This is a tempo nightmare.
I enjoy how expressively you’re playing these pieces. Seriously, thanks.
Beautifully played as always Lara, 🙂 I love your channel i could listen to you play all day all day long!!
The Sticker brush symphony arrangement on this is the best I've ever heard.
This game is about 25 years old and even with all these modern games only a handfull can match Donkey Kong Country soundtrack.
Dkc has an insane sound track and is too good for this game.
@@finestcustard5647 I wouldn't say too good because the game was one of the best for the platform imho but it wouldn't be as good without this amazing soundtrack.
Valnuss yeah that was a typo I meant to type world. The game definitely fits the sound track lol
In less than 40 seconds you managed to make me shed some tears. 😭😍
I love the way you express the emotion that you put in every interpretation of yours
Your rendition of Aquatic Ambience gives me goosebumps. Off to a great start!
I have no words. I can't count how many times I came back to watch this. Thank you, thank you very much for this video. You have a fan in Brazil!
I always loved the music in this area of the game. It’s such a De-Stresser ☺️💖
In a snow-bound land it's an amazing arragement. Sometimes makes me feel happy, sometimes makes feel sad and I cry whit it. However, always that I listen to it makes me feel quiet. Amazing Lara, thank you so much for this
I listen to this soundtrack all the time and now to see it performed like this. I'm in love.
Brian N. Farber same ! especially the 10 hours long of aquatic ambiance ❤️

This hits me hard in the nostalgia, I can’t even count how many times i played through the dkc series
This are the best songs ever
DK have a enchanted sound track, just magical melodies.
The love of art knows no bounds.

The software company RARE or Nintendo SHOULD hire this woman and play music for all their fantastic action games!
A Friend Rare is a Microsoft company and doesn’t produce Nintendo games anymore
DKC music is great background music. Doesn't require the game for context to enjoy too much.
Your heavenly piano music is so wonderful to my ears.
I’d love piano sheet music for a medley of stickerbush,aquatic ambience & forest interlude, in style of lara6683. It would be amazing to play. Lara’s versions are not over the top, very relaxing interpretations. Love coming back to this.

Meu Deus,
Que lembrança boa dessa época do snes.
Obrigado Lara por me fazer lembrar...
Donkey kong assim como varios outros jogos do nintendo marcaram com força minha infancia
Sim velho, marcou a minha demais... Jesus, que jogo
Melhor jogo do snes
This is pure bliss! David wise is a genius and so are you!
Wow, great job!! DKC's soundtrack is beyond lovely.
Amazing. Love the Donkey Kong soundtracks and love hearing covers. Great job!
God, this takes me back to a much simpler time.
A Nintendo está eternamente em meu coração, por ter nos presenteados com tantos clássicos.

Wow the opening is a winner 100% 👌 brings back memories you are awesome no joke. I loved the castlevania covers also. You make me wanna play a piano.
One of the best performance I have ever heard of these tracks, well done!
Love those DKC songs. So much emotion put into your playing. I am just starting to learn piano. I'll have to watch your hands and learn a few [million] things!
Sounds really mysterious. Cool! Well done. Thank you.
Upd: omg, here are 27 minutes of such beautiful music.
I cried when I heard Aquatic Ambience, beautiful work!
Been hooked on ambient and gaming music for last 2 years or so, great work.
