@tofer.a: Why is this song used in so many short form videos? and why does it hit so hard when I hear it? A lot of you may already know this, but this is actually a remixed track called aquatic ambience. And the reason it sounds so familiar is because you likely played it a ton as a child in the aquatic level of donkey Kong country for the super Nintendo. The artist responsible for this beautiful piece of work is David wise who is also responsible for hundreds of other fantastic video game soundtracks throughout the 80s 90s in 2000s. #videogames #retrogames #videogamemusic #nostalgia #90s #viralvideos
Yup - Aquatic Ambience hits them nostalgia buttons.

It makes me feel very sad 😫 Maybe because it reminds me of a time that was so simple that we can never go back to.

Aquatic Ambience (or at least that slowed down version of it) is one of the single most beautiful pieces of music to come out of a video game sound track ever.

It is NOT a remix, totally different song by a talented musician. Also could be seen as inspired by stickerbrush symphony.

the sound annoys me a lot... I don't care for these types of sounds, it's right up there with clocks ticking, refrigerator hums, etc.
