Simple and Clean Cover - Gates Of Ivory 

"So how many fill of drums would you like?" Drummer: "Yes".

Lol So I am the singer of this band... or well.. the girl in the video. I guess I had some stage fright? I was just trying to be chill since this was shot as a spurr of the moment just to have some sort of visual with the audio. I didn't really think I would need to be super dramatic as if I was performing and didnt try. This was supposed to be more of a session video. The way I looked during this video "bored, not into it" was just me being chill. I was into the song in general though. I love this song... why else record it? I literally planned this cover out for years. Also the genre of the song is just the genre of my band. We didnt decide on just doing a "Numetal / metal cover" it is just what the song would have sounded like had we written it. Anyhow I am still always surprised to see that this video is still thriving in its own way. Thanks for all the love and the hate because both are keeping this video alive ;)

RU-vid just randomly grabbed this from my ancient playlist and said "Hey! Remember this? You really really liked this, wanna hear it again?" God, the MEMORIES. Love y'all qnd hope you've been doing well all these years.

WE CRYIN IN THE CLUB TONIGHT BOYS

Casually dropping by *checks watch* 8 years later to say that now that Sora has dropped on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Ima be playing this song a lottttttttt more now when I play smash since they didnt include S&C in the music for the game :/ anyways tho, 8 years later, still love this version so much!

It’s a good feeling when you click on a video with no expectations and get blown away by how good it is.

that drummer kicks ass!

This song is giving me serious early 2000’s and I love it

Simple and Clean WWE Entrance Theme Version.

The world was a better place when you guys were still making music 😭😭

Why am i just now finding this

Gotta say, i was going through all of the more recent covers of this song and was thinking "man theres something missing. Lemme just try this older one." And as i'm typing this. I realized what this one has that others dont. It feels less like theyre just changing it to a metal genre, they made it feel like something that would genuinely come out of the game. It has the strength and elevation that makes you feel like you're ascending up. This definitely made me feel ten times better today. Since its ten years old i hope theres a remaster

Still fire going into 2020 because this is T I M E L E S S

I can't believe I was smart enough to love music like this as a kid. BANGER

i will allways come back to this absolute gem

I remember when i heqrd this my buddy who died of covid sadly showed me this and now i listen to this the day he passed every year so good loved this cover

she's really pretty

2020, Still the best version of this song.

I found a clip of this on Tumblr, and searched RU-vid for this for a half an hour. Needless to say: COMPLETELY WORTH IT!

Has it really been 10 years since this masterpiece was uploaded 🥺🥺

2019 and I'm still listening to this cover

Still the best! Beautifull and full of memories 🤗. Love from Finnish 29y guy. KH for life and respect to Utada Hikaru.

Its 2019 and I still come back to this video. I love it so much

Such a beautiful voice.

We have the free download of this song and our Sanctuary cover on our sound cloud. :)

I remember I watched this 10 years ago, and now I'm going back to listen because I remembered it. Such a beautiful cover, I used to replay this a lot back then!

I can’t be the only one who thinks the singer is unbelievably attractive

I can’t believe I found this now.this is beautiful

Still cry at this cover. Thank you for making one of the best covers of all time

How am I just now hearing this for the first time?! It's so good!!!!!

I just imagine Utada Hikaru one day finding this and wanting to collaborate with them. Would be such a great moment.

11 years later and my feed still knows what I like.

2020 and still listening 👂🏼

You know why im here

Never gets old :)

I still listen to this! Love it

I could hear her voice just fine.

Fantastic cover of a beautiful and lyrically apprehended song. I will definitely buy their album. May their band flourish and shine

This Drummer is awesome

I still come to watch this masterpiece.

I remember randomly finding this cover 7 years ago and listening to it everyday. Now here I am still listening to it, and the nostalgia is at an all time high. Love your guys' music keep it up!

It's 2015 and this still remains my favorite KH cover of all time XD

Commenting again to show appreciation u guys rock

The arrangement on this is so well done it didn’t even feel like a 5min song.

Awesome cover!!!!! So mad at myself for just now finding this!!!!

And now master of skill can use this for his "sora is bad" smash montage

2023 bout to be crazy if yall throw another banger like this

been jamming to this for a decade, a instant classic

Yet another song that makes non-rock fans love rock. This is magic.

2020 almost and I’m watching. Love the cover

Drums killing it.

Going out on a pun here but this is the Cleanest metal cover for kingdom hearts I've heard yet

Utada Hikaru should see this. Guys I wish to see and hear you performing this live.

Goosbumps. FRIGGIN GOOSEBUMPS. Mixed along with sentimental memories and nostalgia overload. Love it!

GATES OF IVORY FOR LIFE!!!!! Been listening to you’re music for just about over 10 years and fully fell I love with all you’re Kingdom Hearts covers.

3:50 is amazing! It reminds me of my favourite band Enter Shikari when they used to make songs like this.

Im an artist/songwriter, Ive done open mics, performed on TV, done jingles. This shit is so solid. Stage fright/shy is normal....playing through it is what Champions do. THis is my jam your version is OP !!!

10 years later and it still goes as hard as ever and is still so underrated!

Why are all the covers of Simple and Clean so phenomenal.

Jeez i remember when my cousin showed me this cover many years ago. 9 years ago wow its still a great cover. Time flies enjoy the things you enjoy have a great life

I love the music of Kingdom Hearts simple and clean so much! You guys just made it so much better. Kingdom Hearts is the best thing ever. I am officially A gates of ivory fan for life.

And I heard her voice and suddenly.........chills :D

She can really sing and she's beautiful

Still crying to this song in 2020💗

Wow.... I see the influences In this from Power metal, to Symphonic metal even musically it sounds like Melodic Death Metal with a hint of goth! Great cover!!!

3:50 that breakdown though. Just so simple and clean.

Band: lets do simple and clean. Drummer: OK, Love that song. Also drummer..... Entering GOD MODE!

Also that synth break down towards the end absolutely magnificent 🤘🏻🤙🏽🙏🏽

This is a great version of this song, but the original version holds a very special place in my heart.

This is one of the greatest covers I’ve ever heard of this song.

9 years later. Still loving the hell out of this cover 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

The nostalgia...damn

My favorite music genre & one of my favorite songs! Brilliant!

The cover's amazing. The band members that quit n came back are probably super jealous they weren't a part of this.

This gave me chills.

Can't believe you aren't famous, because your so good...

The lead singer sounds like Hayley Williams from Paramore. Also this cover is badass and I love it! 🤘🖤

My favorite band is August Burns Red and the fact that this song was meshed so well with the metal guitar and everything along with the amazing vocals literally brings tears to my eyes I've waited too long for this 😍😍😍

OMG 2022, I feel like I'm going back in time with this version🥲

This is an absolute banger 🙏🏽🤙🏽🤘🏻

by far the best cover of this song ever . I see nothing wrong with it .perfect 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

This was incredible. Props to everyone in the band.

I'm so very freaking PLEASED I found this....and it's on their SPOTIFY. holy shit.
