So I was turning eleven and my best friend got me Kingdom Hearts for my birthday. It was a new game everyone was talking about - Final Fantasy iconic characters teaming up with Disney princesses, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and whatnot? I started playing it with my brother and two other friends, and it took us months to finish it. We cried and laughed and spent sleepless nights trying to go on with the story, making up theories, crafting gummiships and searching for those stupid Dalmatian pups scattered in the weirdest places. Once we finished it, it felt like we just went through the adventure of our lives. Now I'm 29, my best friend moved overseas, my brother isn't in this world anymore, and that other friend turned into a stranger. But no one is going to ever rob me of those memories.
What a beautiful comment man. Those memories will be forever yours no one can take them away from you. May your brother rest in peace. All the best man
@@nimcie8377 I'm not only happy, my friend. These memories are so precious to me because I was happy while living them, recalling them now is very sad. But what I learned through them makes me the person I am today, like it is for us all, so we must cherish our experiences and work to make new memories as happy as the ones we left behind.
My brother has passed last Sunday. He have lost his fight against cancer. This song means too much to us, so i played this song for him in his last moments with us. Thank you so much for this version. It will always keep him in my heart .
I promise you will one day be re-united with your brother. He will be returned to this Earth with a whole and healthy body and mind along side loved ones. May the God of Eternity wrap you & your loved ones in a veil of protection. May He hear and reply to your prayers. May His strength be your strength. Have hope. God Sees you. Stay Safe. Stay Free. ꧁•♥ Believe♥•🕊꧂
So sorry to hear that. I've lost my share of loved ones to cancer, too. I try to think that at least they're not suffering anymore, it makes it easier to cope. Anyway, I hope you stay strong and find joy in the things you like until time does its thing.
I’m so sorry for your loss. One of the big themes of KH is that no matter what happens, we’ll all see each other again; Dearly Beloved embodies that idea and I hope it’s true 💛🗝️
I’m a 30 year old who bawled like a kid listening to this. What a beautiful rendition of the original masterpieces. It’s rare to find music like Kingdom Hearts that has the ability to evoke so many emotions all at once 👏 👏
It always infuriates me when people say video game music isn’t real music…and to that I say: listen to this and tell me this in some way doesn’t tug at your heart or make you feel any emotion as this…this right here is beautiful
How can you not hear this and not consider it music? Those people are crazy. I remember one of my best friends got me playing this game and the title theme always come to my mind as being really memorable. It starts of slow and sad and then crescendo into upbeat and lifts your spirit. And I get more feeling from this than any other music they play on the radio. Whenever I get down I remember the theme song and how things can seem sad and slow but you always have the future to lift yourself up and to keep going.
Yeah. It's a little irritating, then they find out those composers were great influenced by cinematic and classical composers. There is so much direct influence. A great way to shut those people down is by telling them how the composer was influenced by a specific classical composer. Trust me, it always works or the response you'll get is, "I didn't know that..." That's where you tell them, research is golden.
I went to listen to this song while cleaning my room. After a second of playback, I stood in front of the speakers with my eyes closed and ended up in tears. Kingdom Hearts is unique
I'm standing in my kitchen sipping on a coffee getting ready to replay Elden Ring and this song hit me like a brick wall. Tears in my eyes and everything.
I remember making a solo hike up a trail once. There was not a single person on the trail that day. At the base, it started to pour and was extremely windy. I could’ve turned back, but I said to heck with it. Once I reached the top, ironically this song started playing on my AirPods. By then the storm had passed and the sun was starting to show again… my god was it an incredible feeling.
I remember, I remember being 8 years old and finding Kingdom Hearts on my ps3 library, my brothers always talked about it, maybe it was my time to play what my brothers always liked, I remember every choice, choosing the sword, leaving the shield, i never played a game in English before, it was my first ever time, and I only knew what the first difficulty meant, so, the first time I ever played this masterpiece of a game was on proud, not knowing how to synthesize items, getting lost in Atlantis, spamming thunder like there was no tomorrow, but i remember something, i never finished this game, i played all the other games with the passion and love a kid may have when he opens his Christmas presents, I remember my brother making fun of me because I couldn't beat Larxene in Chain of memories, then I played Kingdom Hearts 3, I was 10, and I was as hyped as all of you were just by seeing the title screen, finished the game, loved it, every part of it was a constant reminder of how far i've had come, from not knowing how to synthesize a potion, to making full combos and strategies for each fight, but then I did what I thinks was the best choice I had so far, I played them all, consecutively, one more time before playing Re:mind, but this time with everything I've had learned, I got every chest, every Ultima Weapon, Every save the King, every save the queen, i had fulfilled what my i year old version couldn't do, and now I'm 15 almost 16, waiting every second I'll need to just so I can play KH 4, and continue learning, kingdom hearts will forever be my favorite game saga, the only game with the same level is The world ends with You, I love this franchise with my heart, and if i could describe KH with one song, Dearly beloved would be my choice, srry for the long comment
I'm having one of the worst weeks of my life and this arrangement just made me break down and lose it. Despite everything else, I'm so lucky that I can find solace in this and this incredible series
My cousin passed away a few years ago of an overdose and we used to play KH1 and KH2 togeher a lot this song literally made me cry rembering all the good times we had ):
Man there's something about Kingdom Hearts that hits different. I can't even point out what it is. I don't EVER get teary eyes. Literally never. Except when I listen to Dearly Beloved. Nostalgia by itself is weird but Kingdom Hearts nostalgia is something else.
I wanna play these games for the first time again, I want to be a kid again, only worrying about how to beat Xemnas or how to find all of the chests. These games are inside my heart and will never be forgotten. These are the only games that can make my laugh and cry at the same time, I mean, it's just different. There is something in this game that makes everyone be a kid again. I remember very well, my brother got Kingdom Hearts II for his birthday but didn't play the one. I remember we were trying to understand what was going on, who was this Riku Sora was always talking about and when we both arrived at the end, we were just crying. Later, we buyed KH I, then we buyed the entire collection remastered on PS4, then we took KH III on the day of its release and, we were just kids again playing this masterpiece This game made who I am, these games are the only one I can play 3 times the main story in a row without getting bored. Today, it is the 2nd of 2022. Sora got in Smash, and all KH fans are waiting for the next KH game for the 20 years of the series but I don't care how many years it'll take, Square Enix, just make a game that makes me feel like a kid again. (Why did I wrote so much English isn't my principal language wtf)
“They can take your world… They can take your heart… Cut you loose from all you know. But if it’s your fate… Then every step foward will always be a step closer to home.” -Sora in KH3
I am a man of 6.07ft and today I am 36 years old, I must have been 14 or 15 when I played and finished Kingdom Heart, I did not think it would have such a big impact in my life, from the 1st note of the music, I start to cry, I can not listen to it in public transport because I can not hold back my tears to flow
My son used to play this game all the time!!! He even named a kitten Kiari and I still have her and she is 9 years old now! A long hair ragdoll!! ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊!!!!!!!!!!
I remember playing this game as a kid, with my best friend and my sister. English isn't our native language, so we had the dictionary open 24/7 right next to us.. I don't know why, but this game is deeply connected to me. It always reminds me how much fun we were having back then, considering that I had to move out and although that friend of mine is like a sister to me, we rarely talk. I didn't have the game myself, so I bought it (after years of trying) years later, for the ps2 (!!). And very recently I introduced it to my boyfriend, who liked it so much that he bought it for us for the PC to play it from the beginning. So now we have started the journey once again, together. I love this game. I love it and how it makes me feel!
Hi, buddy. Yeah. You. You that is reading this comment. Im just passing by to say that it has been a tough year, all this mess, but, you are amazing, and you matter, somehow. You are important. Dont let anyone say otherwise. Dont give up your objectives. The journey is tough, but i know you can make it. Im counting on you, ok? If it is too hard, give it a break, but know that you are important. Because you can be great. Because you are beautiful in your own way. You, buddy, are Dearly Beloved.
Its been years since ive played kingdom hearts, I've never balled like a baby over music, but something about this song just brings back the simplicity and happiness of being a kid again.
I am hearing this and remembering all the times I have wanted sora in smash, tomorrow will be the last oprtunity, every step will be a step closer to smash 🥺
So many loved ones lost and friends who’ve turned to complete strangers and yet here we are, all connected through this song. Love all of y’all. We’ll make it out through all of what troubles us. This song is a reminder of that ❤️
Kingdom Hearts has always had a special place in my heart for being one of the first games I ever played. Even when newer games came out I would play KH cause it was so much fun and through life I never forgot that. It has helped me through some tough and rough moments of my life and the songtrack has always made me happy and tear up
Sin duda alguna, está hermosa melodía ... Te toca el corazón Cada que la escucho, me da una paz pero también me pone triste.. es un sentimiento hermoso que me hace llorar y no se si alguno tenga ese mismo sentimiento pero.. Así me hace sentir ❤️✨
When I was about 8 my little brother and I would raid our cousins room when we'd visit my grandmas house to play on his busted PS2 that would only work if you ejected the disk multiple times, sometimes it would take 10 plus ejects just to get the game to start. Since we couldn't really afford a console for our place, grandma's house was the only time we could play video games. I remember he showed us the disk for KH. I thought the main character looked so cool and the game looked so fun when he demoed it for us by fighting the rock giant in the colosseum. The scratched KH1 disk wouldn't let us start a new game so he introduced us to the sequel which wasn't as scratched and would let us play a new game. My little brother and I would play for hours over the summer when my parents would drop us off so they could go to work. I distinctly remember the dirty floor with this tiny room really only big enough for one person crammed with teenagers, my little brother and I, loose disks and wrappers littered the floor. When he'd let us play or when he was gone the game of choice was always KH2. I had to have beaten it hundreds of times, the story etched permanently into my brain. I remember I had a specific save that was right before Sephiroth so I could play the fight over and over. My cousin has a kid that's going into highschool now, my little brother just finished up his first year of college and I'm almost done with college altogether. The music in the KH games inspired me so much. I picked up the violin just so I could play KH and pokemon music in the 5th grade which led me to pick up the guitar in high school. I was Sora for multiple halloweens where I made my own keyblades and ripped apart shorts so I could model the halloween town outfit. I wouldn't be where I'm at today without these games and I hope that if I ever have kids I can share these games with them.
The funny thing, I'm a grown man and a Metal head. This video just emotional broke me hard. Best time ever from my childhood just rushed into my mind... ❤
You know, I listen to this song a lot. And it’s for a lot of reason’s, I think about a simpler time in life, the memories, the game itself, and bc I like this version. But the MAIN reason I listen to this is because every time I close my eyes, I think of marrying someone to this song so much, her walking down the aisle and me just saying to myself “she is mine”. But I’ve come to the true reality that I might never get the opportunity to have that experience in my life. And to be honest I learned to accept that. So every once in a while I just listen and go in my head and just see, it’s so surreal and I start to kinda tear up about it. But yeah I like the song lol
This music never fails to send chills through my body and bring tears to my eyes. Every single time. Nothing else fills me with such emotion like the music from Kingdom Hearts. I'll hold this serious fondly in my heart until the day I die
The only kh i played (not even to completion bc the game was in English, which at the time i didn't speak) was chain of memories and even then as a kid i was like "LET ME PLAY" so I would only hear the first few notes for the most part, what I'm trying to say is that i got 0 connection to the game and the story i vaguely know because of the one series of videos explaining it that everyone knows about, but man when the symbals crash like the waves on the beach around 1:35 I legitimately start crying It feels like it's a beautiful warm moment but that you know is momentary and every time the waves crash You hold to a different memory you have had with the person you're having this moment with, in an attempt to make it last longer
In my opinion this is the best orchestra I've ever heard. I've been a fan of Kinhdomheart's since I was a kid. And while I was listening to it, tears came to me.
My god!! This gave me chills!! Human beings are capable of such beauty when we unite together. The instruments and music so in sync with one another blending so perfectly.
when i was listening to it, i could imagine a soft breeze on my face with the sound of the waves at the ocean, then when it builds up/ reaches the climax i hear the wave crashing into the rocks on the shore with also the sound of leaves falling and in my head i pictured cherry blossom trees and their flowers falling, idk it was just so powerful
É uma das melhores trilhas para game e digo isso com convicção. Eu deixava a tela de título parada só pra ouvir isso... Um misto de alegria, motivação, saudade e aventura na jornada dos 3. Sensação melhor não há quando zeramos e vemos todo mundo reunido...
The harmony at 2:12 is so good. Really the whole video is incredible, but knowing the song so well I can't get over that one part being so uniquely special to this arrangement.
I heard this music for the first time 3 days ago and it was played to me by the guy I dearly beloved . I felt very sad, but I listened to it every day because it made sense. But last night he left me also he said i want to be alone. I can't live without him. If he's not there, Im in a melancholy mood. But when I miss him, this song comforts me. this song is a reason how I can cried so much and comforted.
The Kingdom Hearts franchise is beautiful, awesome, and flawless. This song is one of the main reasons for this. The franchise of Kingdom Hearts and all the versions of Dearly Beloved will never be forgotten.❤
I actually played this recently. I do lessons and we have regular concerts and whatnot. This was the first actually beautiful song i performed in my 10 years of playing. I love this song so much.
