Here's my cover of Pollyanna from Mother! Versions of Pollyanna are in each of the three MOTHER games. I love the optimism of this song. It’s like the lyrics/melody are barging into your room and demanding you to smile. :D
DonutDrums is the best bandmate. I asked for the drums to sound like a mixture of the full band version of Pollyanna and the game version and as always, he made them so awesome!
I tried to find Ness cosplay at thrift stores, but couldn’t find anything - so the red headband and stripes were my tribute.
I filmed gameplay from all 3 games since versions of Pollyanna are included in the whole series. When I play one of the melodies, the game corresponds with the part in game that you hear the song. :)
All of my covers are done by ear; no sheets.

P.S. - Watch past the end of the outro for a surprise.
I appreciate you listening. Thank you so much!

Lyrics from the MOTHER album (1989)
Composed by Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu Tanaka
Original version sung by Catherine Warwick

Lyrics ~
“I believe the morning sun
Always gonna shine again, and,
I believe a pot of gold
Waits at every rainbow's end, oh
I believe in roses kissed with dew,
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
I believe in make believe,
Fairy tales and lucky charms and,
I believe in promises,
Spoken as you cross your heart, oh,
I believe in skies forever blue,
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
You may say I'm a fool,
Feelin' the way that I do
You can call me Pollyanna,
Say I'm crazy as a loon,
I believe in silver linings
And that's why I believe in you!

I believe there'll come a day,
Maybe it will be tomorrow.
When the blue bird flies away,
All we have to do is follow
I believe a dream can still come true,
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?

You may say I'm a fool,
Feelin' the way that I do,
I believe in friends and laughter
And the wonders love can do,
I believe in songs and magic
And that's why I believe in you!
You may say I'm a fool,
Feelin' this way about you,
There's not much I can do,
I'm gonna be this way my life through'
Cause I still believe in miracles, I swear I've seen a few.
And the time will surely come when you can see my point of view
I believe in second chances,
And that's why I believe in you!”
