+cartoonfreak33 Wow, that was significantly more touching than I thought it would be. I feel the same, and just resonating with what you said got me just a bit teary-eyed.
Bro, I was walking down a city street when I first heard this, and I stopped and had to like... look around. Tears in my eyes, that opening is so magical.
Man. This soundtrack is filled with life, with many emotions...with a soul. It may be based a bit in the Brawl version, but there is something that makes this version vastly superior. Perhaps is the diversity of instruments used here, and the harmony that they have with each other. Perhaps it's the fact that this was arranged because the great love the composer has for video game music. I can't tell, but it's definitely among the best melodies I have heard in my whole life, and that's much, due to the fact that I love video game soundtracks. By the way, I have heard more than 10 times this song...and still amazes me.
I am stoic person but this made me a bit emotional upon initial hearing.Half of the reason came from how incredible this sounds and the other half came from the history behind this soundtrack in childhood.
Ever since Brawl, Smash has been a part of my life. It is sort of the last remainder of a time that has since passed. Thank you for this incredible arrangement.
I was a kid that grew up with Returns, and the first time I played the original games, it gave me that warm fuzzy feeling like when you feel like you are home (If anyone understands). When I listened to this song, I got that same fuzzy feeling, thanks!
Same, Donkey Kong Country Returns was my first video game. Used the super guide quite a bit lol, I still play Returns to this day. When I played the originals I felt the same way.
Woah. This remix knows the weight it's carrying, of the original as one of the greatest video game songs of all time, and also of the Brawl remix, as one of the greatest remixes of all time, and does it incredible justice. It has like this epic feeling to it, sort of positioning BB/SS as like a part of this epic universe and definitely the part we're here to see, but also lets us know how much more there is to the totality. Really beautifully crafted stuff.
This is one of the best remixes of this song I've ever heard, right next to Avizura's Turn the Tides version. Just amazing in every way! Outstandingly beautiful! 😃👌
out of all the phenomenal takes on this phenomenal track, this version is my favourite. From the origiginal, to the brawl remix to PFF's cover to GaMetal's cover, THIS version to my ears stands above them all.
Like the difference is not even comparable. I am astounded by the fact that a presumably rational human mind would be capable of a degree of intellectual laziness such that this would even be in doubt
listened x-times for some years and still beyond masterpiece, this song is actually how people should be each other...they understand each other and live in harmony. Thank you for this song! best regards
Reminds me of the time my best friend and I went through the subspace emissary, it was truly a magical experience. Despite the characters not speaking a single word, Nintendo was able to tell such a moving, amazing story. He and I got chills running through the forest as Donkey Kong and Diddy… damn I wish I could go back to 2009 when times were easier. Not having to worry about real life problems, coming home to play super smash bros, club penguin or super Mario galaxy.
As someone who grew up with both Donkey Kong Country Returns and Super Smash Bros Brawl, this just hits way too hard. It's obviously a VERY quality song, thank you, but MAAAN the memories of little me curled up on the living room couch and playing Returns or Brawl on the Wii just hit like a gorilla-driven truck. There was clearly love and effort put into both the individual soundtracks and into this arrangement, and I appreciate the heartful, homey feeling of this song that any of us childhood gamers can sit down and jive to in our own little corners of life.
4 years ago I wished I had a score for this (or whatever format used to make this, I would love to see it in it's written form) Today this is still easily my top 1 in pretty much all of my music to listen to. Undefeated way to clock out for 7 minutes and just let music take over. And your Break The Targets as well as Unbroken are really really good. You're amazing, Buoyant!
honestly i feel that, tbh i knew about the harmony of heroes project before and heard a few cool songs but this amazing arrangement just popped up in my feed and im honestly loving it im just so surprised i took so long to listen to this masterpiece
+Ewizaboof Dewitt (Kaiju) It's a new genre which can be found in games produced by nintendo etc. Or if you know what the genre is then reply. This is some new kind of genre. Do you think those 80's and 90's where listening to this :P. This is new, computer age music.
I know this is rly old, but I feel the need to comment. This is a form of atmospheric. More of an upbeat form of atmospheric, but still atmospheric all the same. It is true you find more of the genre of music in Video games than anywhere because of the need to build atmosphere. The idea is to create a soothing trance, without having too strong of a melody line.
