  • Xion :(

  • Music For The Sorrow Of Xion.... Titel says it all, doesn't it?

  • Kyle Landry should do a cover of this...

  • Honestly, this is just a testament to the fact that Kingdom Hearts is the greatest game ever made. Period.

  • This made me fall in love with Dirge of the Fourteenth all over again. I shed a tear the first time I saw Xion's death scene and heard this play in the background. This arrangement of it is so beautiful that I feel like I'm about to shed another.

  • Growing up with both Zelda and Kingdom hearts....i didn't but if i did i would have comitted suicide by now XD i

  • Honestly when i had to fight xion.... I chucked my d.s to the wall and said no way!

  • So sad... But much more beautiful than the o riginal version of xions theme.

  • I don't like Xion, but I love this theme. It's so sad and soothing

  • Oh, Xion. You poor, poor girl.

  • Only good song on this album. The others felt half-assed.

    This is the only one with real feeling to it.

  • When I can play this song, then will I finally achieve greatness on the piano. . .

  • Guys what abrsm grade do you think think this is equivalent to?

  • @TomAndGingeCoLtd1996 hmmmm guessing... 7-8?

  • I hope to learn this piece in the future. I can only play a simpler version of this song..

    The story behind this song is extremely tragic and heartwarming. The story of the hero who made a bond... In which he himself had to slay. The person who he cared for most, Is gone in a shred of a memory locked away in oblivion.

  • All the tears right here.

    BRB sobbing 5ever.

  • *.* OMG *crys* SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL <3

  • The most tragic of all tales is when the hero has to slay his own friend. . .

  • 11 people are deaf

  • I wish I had the piano skills to play this, but I don't, I'm barely ad beginner and my piano teacher says I have bad Tempo XD But once I gain the skills, I will play this nonstop until I can do it out of remembrance.

    These games and their music rock!

  • when giving proper props and credits to those the worked this wonderful piece we should also mention the efforts of the piano arranger sachiko miyano, also a bit notey in spots, pianistically it is very well written for the instruments and falls well in the hands when approached with well developed technique. it's a wonderful work. the modal aspects of it are especially nice.

  • Playing the 24th notes with the 16th notes is so weird. But once you get a few measures down it sounds so beautiful

  • Great, now try to listen to this while playing this video: /watch?v=AYw7eJYadco

  • beautiful !!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Yeepp, I cried like a baby while listening to this.

  • @KawaiiCupcake30 Oh, me too, every time i listen to this! i love it soooo much!

  • Listen to this while Rainy mood on google is opened It brings out the effect.It made me cry :'(

  • Listen to this while Rainy mood on google is playing

  • @Vexen6900 Thank you for advising this, I really liked the effect it had on me. Though I didn't cry, I felt a strong connection to something....

  • Xion never had her own life her tale is the saddest of all lost in kingdom hearts she never had her own memories sort of like riku replica she was an empty shell with nothing there except her feelings for roxas

  • @Khrulesbbs3 doesnt that apply to roxas as well? he spent all his days alive following orders not knowing who he is or what he exist for only to find out till the end that his existence wasnt meant to be and supposedly "nothing".

  • @wwwdots yes it applies to both but i just like xion more than roxas lol

  • @wwwdots Wrong, he lived a happy lie at the end.

  • Xion...

  • I wish people would mention Yoko Shimomura more often when the theme is (Video Game) Composers. She is truly inspiring. I also wish they did orchestra shows around the world, just playing Kingdom Hearts songs. I love rock and electronica, but man, a Kingdom Hearts orchestra would top any other concert. My 9 year old, boysband loving self would be amazed to find out that my actual favourite song is this one.

  • @hanhyn You ask for a Kingdom Hearts Orchestra, And square delivers.

    watch?v=iKjPSa1PbLE

    15 minutes Kingdom Hearts Medley.

  • @FF4eternity Wow thanks :D I had already watched a few videos of orchestras playing KH songs but what I really want is for them to make a tour around the world, because it would be amazing c:

  • @hanhyn Yoko Shimomura did a great job u r right it should say BY Yoko Shimomura

  • @hanhyn there are some good concert series performed of works from KH and FF, do a search for the symphonic legends (nintendo themes) and symphonic fantasies (square enix). i know they were big in germany and japan in the US not as common but happens, just next week the DSO in TX will perform a sold out show of Zelda music so if you kick over enough rocks you're bound to come across a respectable ensemble playing this king of music.

  • I love this music ! It's my favorite music of Kibgdom Hearrts with The Other Promise ( Final Mix ) !

    Poor Xion ...

  • This kind of piano arrangement is the kind of music that keep's me going everyday. The power of music many of us seem to overlook.

  • this arrangements a masterpiece. Brings a whole new dimension to the original melody in my opinion

  • So wonderfully moving and enchanting.<3

    Xion, We won't forget you!

  • this completely moves me...

  • Hmm... which would be technically easier to play: this or The Other Promise? I've been thinking of playing it in the near future sometime. Thanks. :)

  • @84Fish48Fish I think you could play the original version of both themes first. In that case, you better start with this. but if you have already know the original version or don't wanna learn them, then you should start with the other promise. this is what i think, anyway :)

  • Comment removed

  • I hope Shimomura releases another KH album like this, only with BBS music. It'll be an appetizer to tide us over before KH 3D.

  • This is one of the best Ds games ever. It has the most moving moment ever, when Xion fades is Roxas' arms. Simply amazing. Its the saddest KH moment ever.

  • I despise Xehanort with a passion for all he did and wound up causing! >:(

  • @Delfino224 Dude, Xehanort is a total badass villian.

  • @AsianSnowybrick I know. I love him for that fact but hate him for all he caused. :P

  • Best and most moving DS game ever. I literaly cried tears when I beat this game.

  • a masterpiece indeed i wish i could the piano....;/

  • At 3:00, when Xion fades from Roxas' arms. "Xion! NO!" Most moving artificial moment in my life.

  • @piano3479 Same here...until two seconds later when he says,"Who else will I eat ice cream with?!?!?" haha

  • @piano3479 the whole time i was fighting xion at the end of the game i was screaming at her for being such an idiot and i literally willed myself not to cry. then when she faded away i broke down and sobbed for hours. People are stupid when they say a video game can't have a touching storyline.

  • @piano3479 The line that truely brought tears to my eyes was when Roxas said "Who will I have ice cream with?" It's just purely the fact that Roxas wishes nothing more than to go back to a time with a beautiful and simple friendship but he knows that he never will get to.

  • @GOE7Song It's even more sad in the Japanese cut. Roxas says "Let's have ice cream again. Just the three of us." The fact that he still thought of Axel as Xion lay dying in his arms meant (to me) that not only did she make him complete, she made Axel complete as well, or rather, they all made each other complete.

  • @ShaDHP23 That's so true :'(

  • Xion is the only girl that doesn't have a fanmade pairing in KH... everyone goes for Roxas Namine.

    ... Oh, the heck. Riku Xion FTW!

  • @kilameida Yea!

  • I feel this piece was made for me, because I feel a lot like Xion. It makes me think of what's really important to me. It also makes me want to find true love. And by th way, Yoko Shimomura deserves an oscar or something

  • @LindalCelebrindal we should take all the awards, and give them to her. that is all =D

  • @LindalCelebrindal You mean a Grammy?

  • @ristilovesart technically it would be a grammy, but I just wanted to mean that she deserves something big, the biggest recognition, 'cause if you don't do pop or hip hop music you don't stand a chance to win the grammy for best artist and that's the only award of the grammys that people look at, you can win millions of grammys for best I don't know, say traditional pop or something, you don't get the same reaction. Anyway a grammy wouldn'd be bad. Not at all

  • @LindalCelebrindal how does finding true love relate to this song and xion? this song was written for her death and the feeling of wanting to exist and live.

  • I love this song...I want to play it for my girlfriend one day...

    ..almost everyone I know calls her Xion.

  • @AllenaXisElric It's funny...the first time I saw my girl, she had her hair tied back, and when I looked straight at her, she looked liked a hazel-eyed Xion.

  • Thank you!! It's beautiful... so much soul, tenderness, passion, life...

    somewhat reminds me also of "Merry Xmas mr.Lawrence" by Sakamoto/Silvian...

  • <3

  • WE NEED THIS IN SYNTHESIA !!!!!

    

  • @Frogcrunch i can arrange it on synthesia in a near future

  • @xanon0023 you can? THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!

  • There are sometimes when I wish to meet a Xion :/

  • Why isnt their an amazing reaction??

  • I almost cried when I heard this...

  • Is the KH game "Birth by Sleep" only for PSP? I have a ps2 and ps3...

  • @Micoluvr yes, sadly it is.

  • @Micoluvr Yep, only PSP.

    (I have it...it's an amazing game)

  • You guys all are insane.  Noahfat is a smart man. Marvel characters would KILL it. I'm not saying that Marvel doesn't have good story, but KH has an incredible plotline, and they wouldn't mix. Hey, I even like Marvel, but they don't work together.

  • Hey FF4Eternity, do you happen to know which page this song is in the collection?

  • @Krekket Pages 62 - 67 :)

  • i knew this sounded like Kairi's andante sostenuto and dearly beloved for a reason. i'm not insane lol

  • the steps look like piano keys

  • @MultiBleach15 i guess that's the purpose of it. :) since it's piano arrangement.

  • Holy shit! This is fricken amazing! ♥ I love this soo much!

  • Made me cry almost when i heard it today.

  • Man i listened to this song and i remember the good old days when KH was on Playstation. Now its only on Ds.....but in Japan they got some platform KH....ahh i miss that game. Its still my favorite and the one i remember most from my childhood.

  • This just made me cry, i love the way the Piano captures the pain and sadness of this beautiful piece. Much better than the original. Goodbye Xion :'(

  • My favorite part was 0:00 - 5:36. :P

    But no really, enough with the lame fad, my real favorite part starts at 2:59. That part always gives me chills down my spine. I love that bass. <3

  • 8 dislikes? grrrr.... stupid heartless.....

  • I'm sorry, but who in the HELL can dislike this piece. It's so powerful.

  • best part starts from 1:26 till the sound rises again^^

  • 2:26 always sends chills down my spine

  • Just remember... Roxas' ignorant smile while running to his fabricated friends, saying, "Maybe today, we'll finally hit the beach!"... Then the camera zooming up to the clock tower and screen fading to black.

    Am I the only one who couldn't bare to turn their DS off after that incredible and heart-wrenching ending?

  • I can't remember who is Xion

  • Wow, she's the 14th member of Organization XIII, a keyblade wielder, short black hair...

  • @TheBennjy18 She isn't on KH 2, is she? That's the only KH I have ever played

  • @ImCalebRosengard No only 358/2 Days, but I wish she was in other Kingdom Hearts games!!!

  • @ImCalebRosengard Well, the closest you can get to Xion in KH2 is a picture in the White Room in the Haunted Mansion. If you use First Person to zoom in, there's a picture on the wall with Roxas and Axel standing in the front, and Saix and a girl with black hair standing behind them.

  • @SonicGamer07 If my PS2 were working, I'd see it right now

  • @TheBennjy18 you forgot to mention that she's pretty hot too....

  • @ImCalebRosengard Whoever you want xion to be.

  • Xion my memories of you will always stay inside my heart. Until then ill wait for you to return..............(tear drops from eye)

  • Randomnessx she's just an anime character.

  • @TheBennjy18 well duhh but she was an anime character that i didnt want to die

  • @TheRandomnessx7 Dude you need to get laid or watch some porn.

  • @TheBennjy18 ummm okkk? i don't really know whats that have to do with wanting an anime character back(not in a sexually way if your thinking that) and getting laid/porn but......................yeahh­hh

  • I love this song. <3 It really contributed to the mood in that scene after the final boss battle in 358/2 Days. 358/2 Days ended up being the only video game that ever brought tears to my eyes.

  • Do you know of any applications that can open the sheet music once its been downloaded?

  • thats pretty good newbie

  • I cant stop click the 'Like' Buttom...I Love U XION !!~

  • oh my goodness im crying (on the inside)

  • T...Y ese song me trae muchos recuerdos T.Y

  • T...Y ese song me trae muchos recuerdos T.Y

  • where can i buy the soundtrack for 352/2 days?! :O

  • Oh... very cute song for xion

  • this makes me feel like getting a piano, getting the sheets (btw thank you for providing it!) and playing it

    then i think.... 'crap i can't play the piano!'

  • Add audio DL for the piano illiterate </3

  • @barbietkach you could always use a youtube downloader...

  • 最高!!

  • "Music for the sadness of Xion" such a beautiful and touching song, for a wonderful character. Xion, please come back to us! <3

  • i wish i was as talented as this person who wrote it and played it

  • NOOO!!! WHO WILL I EAT ICE CREAM WITH?!?!?!

  • @KH2fanatic2010 hayner,pence,and olette 

  • this song is EPIC!!!

  • Music like this sends chills down my spine. Though, I don't think a person can fully appreciate the emotion being put into this song unless you've played the game and experienced Xion and Roxas's pain.

  • I'm not a pianist, but I think with the sheet music, I can ((really really really REALLY *slowly*)) figure out PART of it. Melody part XD;.

    In any case, thank you so much for providing the link to the sheet music!! And for uploading this, because it's such a beautiful song ♥.

    ~Umbra~

  • Kairi: *Throws bottled note down the flight of steps*

    Sora: yeah man Im such an awesome main characte-*Gets hits with the bottle and is knocked out* x.x

    Roxas: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

  • @withmyweasel ..... what are you 7

  • Comment removed

  • "Music for the sadness of status". That or Bing Translator Fails XD

  • @ScherzoDiAmico I know who Xion is, I just always found it really cool how her name means "Status" in french. or Bing fails. Eather way, its really amazing.

  • @ScherzoDiAmico It's acutually supposed to say Music for the pain of Xion XD

  • @withmyweasel  Its definitely not Pain... maybe you should revise your French.

  • @FF4eternity It's Music for the sorrow of Xion,isn't it?

  • @FF4eternity Probably e_e

  • @withmyweasel my buddy speaks french, he said music for the melancholy of xion, thats the closest he said he can think of.

  • @Tropictyce I'm from Quebec, the literal translation is "Music for the Sadness of Xion", but I guess melancholy is the same thing, but in French it is mélancolie

  • @spileggi24 ah that makes sense actually lol.

  • @ScherzoDiAmico I think bing failed,because I loooked status up in my french dictionary,and it said it's statut.

    Go figure.

  • @Bordom7771 Ahh, thx for clearing that up.

  • Music for the sadness of Xion

  • I FAIL AS A KINGDOM HEARTS FAN because today was my first time hearing this ;-;.

    Well, I might have heard it a long time ago and just forgotten.

    BUT in any case, this is so awesome!! I love it, so beautiful ;w;.

    ~Umbra~

  • I cried at the end of the game when at 3 minutes into the piece Xion faded into nothing.....

  • WOw. This song is just so amazing...even if you hate Xion, you cannot possibly dislike this song. If for no other reason, Xion had to exist so that this song could be made. I seriously think it is the best of all the piano collections.

  • 2:59 - to the end is amazing :D

  • @yoitsjeremy

    0:00 - 5:36 is amazing :D.

    ~Umbra~

  • Yoko is going to come after everyone else that has Kingdom Hearts Music... God help us all.

  • I can't stop listening T.T

  • FF4enternity, the link don't work, well I mean it does, but I have to pay for it ._.

    Is there any other link you know of that doesn't require payment (I hate sounding like a sore loser or whatever, but I really want to play thing song *.*)

  • @ninjashiek8 Umm.. Maybe you should try it again. It didn't ask me for any payment when I just tested it then.....

  • @FF4eternity Really? Hmm..

  • @ninjashiek8 (late reply to this i know) umm with that website there are 2 ways of downloading 1 is paid and 1 is free and for the free one theres like a 30 second countdown before it says you can download it

  • 6 people has their hearts taken by the darkness

  • Their are 2 things that would destroy kingdom hearts 3... Adding Marvel characters. and having it for the xbox360. Sorry xbox players but its just not ment for you :P

  • @Noahfat

    (I know this comment is two months old, but better late than never, right?)

    That's not really fair to say, y'know? I've been a die-hard fan of Kingdom Hearts since it first came out, and I have been a loyal fan since. I borrowed my sister's DS and actually purchased my own PSP to play the games that weren't on Playstation. I even had a Gameboy. So for you to say that Xbox isn't right wouldn't exactly be fair.

    I have an Xbox. I love the game. Can't afford a PS3.

  • @MadisonMartineau dosent' cost that much

  • @Vietminh293

    Yeah... $300-350 that I already spent on an Xbox, and $300-350 that normally doesn't just sit lightly in my pocket. Everyone has their opinion. I would get KH one way or another, but I don't think fans of the series should be picked on by choice of console.

  • @MadisonMartineau well this is just my problem but not yours, i can never really play any other games on xbox besides FPS. i think xbox controllers are only ment for it. I like ps3 better on everything else cause their controllers are ment for button smasing. but you can do whatever you want.

  • @Noahfat ahh come on man hating on the xbox people haha

  • @Noahfat Thats not fair! I love kingdom hearts! why should I not be able to get what will surly be an amazing game?! I don't want to shell out $200 or whatever for a ps3 I'm going to use for one game! Make it multi-platform, more people would enjoy it that way.

  • @Noahfat Well apparently it's meant for every other damn console so I don't think a 360 port for a PS3 game would do too much harm.

  • @Noahfat As someone who's on the outside on the console war argument, I have to disagree. There are Disney and FF fans who play on the 360, and judging by FF 13's sales on the 360, I think KH III would do well on there. Your statement makes you sound like a bratty kid who doesn't want to share.

  • @dancingstorm think about it like this: what if halo came out for the ps3? it would just be kind of outta place since its been traditionally on playstation stuff except for CoM. i think thats what he means. and it would be a bit difficuly since you have to have played the previous games which are on playstation products. FF 13 is a bad example because it isn't a continuation of a story

  • @Ike0127 Yeah, no. Bad example. Square could easily release the main KH series as a download or include it with KH III, and Some KH installments (CoM, Days, etc.) were originally released on handhelds. Furthermore,
