Video Games Live: 01. Kingdom Hearts [High Quality]

[superkeijikun]

This was easily one of my favorite parts of VGL, and I don't even like Kingdom Hearts. XD I'm considering making a video game music video set to this.

[jamesbond99]

@superkeijikun kingdom hearts is good

[Rainalon78]

XD This makes me have a desire to play them again....

It's sad that KH is so... not known. they should play them for the soundtrack!

[serca111]

I play trumpet, and was in an orchestra that played this, and Halo, Baba Yetu and the Bounty Hunter Theme. It's just such a great feeling to be able to play such amazing songs :D

[MrJackoff12345]

Every time I hear this it brings out all of the emotions and magicalness that is Kingdom Hearts. I love this theme and always will.

[RinoaLionstar]

Thank you for uploading these songs. I've been considering buying the CD and this is a geat way to preview them. :)

[xsonicsd]

@RinoaLionstar

Your welcome... :-)

It's one of the albums you know you didn't waste a single dollar, like on other albums were you might only like 3 of 12 tracks.

[TOPOyeyo222]

I remember hearing that song after I didn't touch my controller for a while.

[thevintagekid69]

I'm playing the crash cymbals to this song in my marching band :)

[KillaTequilla83]

One of my favorite themes ever. Thank you so much for sharing ^u^

[1texaseagle]

They should play Dearly Beloved and Roxas' Theme... :)

[NikkoAndCourtney]

@1texaseagle and sanctuary

[MultiN00bster]

I remember when heard this on the TV, I knew that I'd heard it before but I didn't from where.....should I be ashamed? ;P

[hurricanrana22]

I got to play this in high school. I was AMAZINGLY AWESOME. We played Halo, Civilization IV and Kingdom Hearts. OMG! And I got to see it live! BEST CONCERT EVER! I got to hear The Legend of Zelda live!

[SilentWapo]

For our marching show, we're playing this, halo, and bounty hunter. I'm in the drumline, and I love how they didn't make it really insane, just kind of steady and nice. Beautiful song.

[westleyisgod]

i beliave the song is called simpel and clean

[jpmevalemadres]

@westleyisgod Actually, this orchestrated version is called: Hikari, Orchestrated Version (after the Japanese name of the song) :D

[TheStridez]

an orchestra im in played this last week. i was 1 of the 1st violins its probably 1 of the best songs i have ever played it just sounds so beautiful and it really sticks in your head

[TheTenorSaxlord]

Words cannot describe how absolutely magical this piece of music is. Kingdom Hearts is and will always be my favorite series of video games.

[elmorox35]

Video games forever!

[playa2hard]

stumbled upon this on public television and assumed it would only be old classic nes type stuff, but no, they had shit from games like sonic adventure 2, final fantasy 7, and kingdom hearts (1 and 2!). pretty awesome if you ask me

[f8j3jn]

pure awosemness, im glad spoony mentioned this. Otherwise i wouldnt have found videogames live probably never

[lucasvanrijn]

If there is a way to get young people in touch with classical music, it's video games.. This is proof.

[61kdi]

We are trying to convince our teacher to play the video game live medley with Halo,Civilization,Bounty Hunter, and Kingdom Hearts!!

most of the orchestra said yeah sounds cool but other people think all video game music is cheesy :[ so they said no!

[Peshkatz]

@61kdi LOL ironically at our school we just put together a medley of Halo, Civ 4, and KH and our teacher said yes :D

[XendriaTerisa]

My orchestra is playing this. <3 I've loved this piece ever since I bought Kingdom Hearts, but it's even more amazing to perform it (although I'm not anywhere near this good, lol).

[Leozx3]

I'm in a bit of a bad part of my life right now , but this really cheered me up

[ThyBlob]

i had to stop the song coz i was about to start crying ahhh i need to fix my ps2

[DarkRiku117]

i cry everytime i here this song i just cant help it

[WiseStrategist]

@DarkRiku117 I know how you feel, when I catch writers block, I just listen to song and it helps me get to work. It's just inspiring.

[rebel4thecolorbrown]

@DarkRiku117 oh man me too! definitely playing this song at my wedding

[OrgXIIIReject]

I don't play Kingdom Hearts any more, nor do I particularly even like it any more. This music will always be with me though, and I thank you for placing it here.

[redvillain6]

Beautiful, wouldn't hurt to put nice video game footage though....otherwise, very very awesome :)

[mhartsfi]

saw a marching band do a show using this, halo, mass effect, and one other....now it's gonna bug me!

[ninanina35]

@mhartsfi my high school marching band is doing a field show on video games, which has halo, kingdom hearts, and bounty hunter. is that what you're talking about?

[mhartsfi]

@ninanina35 i think so, it was last season. What state are you competing in? I saw it in Kentucky...

[ninanina35]

@mhartsfi california

bit of a ways away

[TheBlablabla009]

@ninanina35 lol i was at it, pretty awesome. i got a cd, a hoodie, and a white T-shirt signed by most of the game makers who were there.

[forgeclaw]

luvvlez it 1337!

[ThePhilosophraptor]

no matter how many times i hear this, I always feel a mix of nostalgia, hope, and the urge to kick some ass.

[Thecalebguy]

Now I love you even more.

[animenekogirl13]

this song brings back memories. My music class played this song two years ago.

[Akira2492]

I kinda really want to play ths on my Clarinet now.....Hm.

[emperornguyen]

the crash cymbal at 2:13 gave me goosebumps

it's so epic and nostalgic, i love it! XD

[dogloveproductions]

my school band played this for a concert, im a clarenet, and i hafta say it feels and sounds so much more magical when you're down there in it and being a part of it, loved it

[acidrespawn]

@dogloveproductions i wish my school band would play video game songs ...the best song we eer played was star wars >.<

[MrVonKillGore]

@dogloveproductions I could only dream of my school band playing this. Never has my school band played anything from video games, just movies.

[hurricanrana22]

i totally played this in high school!! [halo, civ IV, kh] it was awesome!!!!

[lillidys]

@hurricanrana22 Where did your teacher get scores for this stuff? o.o

[M3r418n]

this 4 some reason reminds me of disneyland and of Tink flying.

[JoshQuest1]

@M3r418n haha lol its partly a disney game....so that makes sense

[M3r418n]

@JoshQuest1 haha totally makes sense even though i dont even know what the game is about haha.

[JoshQuest1]

@M3r418n You're a kid who goes to save the world. Same story as every other, except this time, you have a key as a weapon. And when you stick it in people, it unlocks their death.

[lastspartan017]

We're playing the halo, this one, baba yatu (civ 4), and 2 others from civ 4 in our symphony orchestra this year :D

I love this one and baba yatu

[DaysBySleep358]

This would be awsome to go to, does anyone know if they play this song every time?

[WeeSusieJ]

my orchestra played this and some of the other vgl pieces last year. It was the last thing I played with them, and it was amazing.

[MasterBelmont]

Just...too amazing. Kingdom Hearts is such greatness, and Hikari is just as wonderful. Hearing it in concert was just so spectacular.

[Filaipus]

thanks :D

they're coming here in 2 weeks, But the are no more tickets D:

[Zinkr7]

if only they would make a volume two...

[thisisrumorcontrol]

@Zinkr7 they have just made volume 2, it will be available in cd/dvd/blu-ray on October 19.

[xsonicsd]

@thisisrumorcontrol

Thanks for the info :-)

[thisisrumorcontrol]

@xsonicsd your welcome, go to the VGL homepage and you can see the track listing for the new CD and the songs they perform on the new DVD,

[Zinkr7]

@thisisrumorcontrol Note the words, one year ago... ONE YEAR AGO. How many people have to comment on this, like 20 of you already have.

[thisisrumorcontrol]

@Zinkr7 what the hell are you talking about?

[Zinkr7]

@thisisrumorcontrol under my comment, where i said if only they made a volume 2, it says posted one year ago... everyone keeps saying the same thing. volume two is out called level 2. I know that already though.

[Acridiel]

@Zinkr7 Their second CD "Level 2" was just published ;)

Enjoy! :D

[KorAnos1]

@Zinkr7 They have. ook it up on iTunes; Video Games Live: Level 2.

[Zinkr7]

@KorAnos1 I know this. The comment was from a year ago.

[FranktheTank360]

@Zinkr7 They did, it was released in Oct of 2010 called "Video Games Live, Level 2"

[Zinkr7]

@Zinkr7 Okay, i realize there is a volume 2, that comment was made last year, where level 2 didn't exist.

[GuidoWorship]

@Zinkr7 they actually did!!! :DDDD

[CFrog92]

This is an awesome song. I am currently learning this on piano. It is a bit of a challenge but it will be worth it when I can play it.

[xsonicsd]

Hi, nice to hear. If you mastered it you might consider to make a clip and share it here with us :-D

[CFrog92]

Sorry I didn't reply I haven't been on this page since I posted the comment. I've actually got it down for the most part. I haven't played it in a while so once I play it again I may post something. I'll let you know when I do.

[wormri]

Amazing, I have no other words to describe this, emotional and brings tears to the eyes.

Thank you.
