  • This would be so fit for my wedding...

  • this is WAY harder than it sounds....

  • @mapleric You've tried it too. How stupid of us to think it was so simple! :)

  • this is so amazing...especially when you try to play it

  • the beginning sounds so much like rachmaniov's piano concerto no.2 (Moderato)

  • I am playing this for my talent show!!!! :D

  • I played this and it was astonishing. I also let my friend play it as a 4 hand play.

  • This is the best one yet.

  • The music was the actually the reason - the sole deciding factor - in buying this game. Of course, from it I've got some great characters and an entire universe to make the music even more stunning.

  • >.< BEAUTIFUL

  • Those three dislikes are Ansem, Xenmas and Maleficent

  • The extra two minutes is to let you take all of this in and process it.

  • Comment removed

  • This song brings back so many memories. The story in KH is so amazing, I couldnt help but feel sad when it ended. I felt a connection to these characters, and I felt their pain when they lost their friends, and felt their Joy when they were found. KH is one of the best games ever. The light in the heart of the Darkside has spoken.

  • It makes me want to yell, scream, shout. A lot is happening inside me whenever I here this piece. It's just amazing. I wish I could play it to a girl, but I'm not sure if they like these things or if it can transmit feelings

  • @LindalCelebrindal You won't know if you don't try! Go for it man!!! :D

  • @mikahebat Thanks for you encouragement, but to do that I need to learn to play the piano, and then find the girl. Don't know what's the hardest..LOL

  • @LindalCelebrindal I'm a girl, and if someone played this for me, I would probably marry them.

  • @asirensaria They wouldn't even need to get me a ring, a wayfinder would suffice^^

    Okay maybe not exactly. Still a KH nerd though!

  • @tbarry1303 Caveman speak is even tolerable.

    MARRY, YES? GOOD, WE MARRY NOW.

    I'd be like... kay.

    XD

  • I came.

  • I told my mom she needed to listen to this song. When she asked what song it was, I told her it was from Kingdom Hearts, she responded, "Videogame music? That's not real music!"

    I about punched my own mother.

  • @musickittybooks4816 LOL OMG HAHAHAHHAHA :L

    tell her its like freaking amazing ~~!!! ><"

  • I used to play this song for a girl that I had a huge crush on in high school who loved kingdom hearts.

    I moved out of my parents house one month ago and I have not touched a piano since.

    I just listened to it for the first time in 6 months and I cant get through it without crying.

  • Damn, all these comments on the KH videos are all so deep...

  • This piece is pure genius. A wonderful paraphrase on a beautiful theme, with inspiration from many classical and romantic masters. I was very sad to be told by my friend, a piano professor at FSU, that such a piece, though very virtuosic, wouldn't be suitable for a college audition. But I will find other venues to showcase the majesty of this piece.

  • I’m not sure if I am crying right now or I just have to sneeze~

  • People who likes = Will be any character in KH

    People who dislikes = Will be a heartless in KH

    any votes? :)

  • @giantcookiesxD there heart will be taken over by darkness as there nobody searches for a reason to be :)

  • @wes3648 ^^

  • Holy Shit.

    That was unbelievable.

  • 0:37 - 1:11 = Inspired by Chopin's Etude Op.25 No.12?

  • this song really captures the tone of kingdom hearts. The story of Sora, a boy thrust into greatness who will do anything to be with his friends again......

  • How the HELL can 3 people dislike this? Epic fail.

  • @ninjashiek8 Xenahort, Xemnas and an FPS player did it.

  • 3 people are heartless.

  • My father gave up on all things game related when I was two and tripped the power cord just as he was about to beat Sonic 2 for the first time...

  • Walao eh, i bought this book and i tried to play with sight read.. all i can do i juz achieve its <30% de speed !! So fast and so beautiful !! I cant stop to hear this song everyday TT.TT ~

  • un vrai virtuose du piano qui transforme dearly beloved en musique classique bravo

  • I cannot listen to this song without crying like mad.

  • I've found it impossible to be as carefree, in the true essence of that phrase, as care free as Sora. Then again, sometimes, there's literally music in the world, so that you may very well listen to it long enough that you may form an aegis around your spirit against all the malnutrition and contretemps for your soul. Perhaps, this and other songs on the Kingdom Hearts Piano Collections truly give you the essence of Sora's freedom. =)

  • ...I want an orgasm with this song...so beautiful TT~TT

  • GUYS SERIUSLY I GOT THIS MIDI FILE FULL WORKING (i mean by showing the lights at your piano;D)send me a messege and your e-mail or your msn and i will send you to you or add you to msn and i got some other midis full working kapustin's etudes!

  • Playing this for a recital in two days (Sunday, December 12th for those who might be looking at this a year or so after this is posted). I'm hoping this will make for some great applause, haha. Such a beautiful song. Perfect for a performance. And who says video games are corruptive? More like constructive, if you ask me.

  • I think that this is a beautiful and amazing version of Dearly Beloved. I want to buy kh piano collections book and play this, eventhough this will be really hard to master.

    I don't get why some people say that this is disgusting? Is it because this isn't as tender as the original peace?

  • my parents didn't really like me playing my video games too much, then my mom walked by and asked what i was listening to

    i simply said nothing and played this song

    once it was over she stood there with clear shock and surprise on her face

    all i said after that was "this is why i play KH"

    i haven't gotten any complaints about playing ANY video games ever since

  • @CheckersXIV I wish my mom could be sensitive to music as yours. Cause mine is just heartless :/

  • @MarysSounds what make you say that about you mom, is she all anti-music/Kingdom Hearts ?

  • @CheckersXIV Yes, I don't want to talk to her of KH or KH music anymore, because she always makes fun of me or says that it's just "a stupid game with fake music". And it brokes my heart, I don't wanna hear that anymore.

  • @MarysSounds You could remedy that by asking for her definition of music. She won't be able to give you one that's self consistent, without caveat'd bare assertions appealing to special exclusions (ex. "I just don't think it is...," isn't an answer, and is illogical), that doesn't include this piano piece, it's extremely well composed by a master musician, and is often played as a piece in competitions. It's any thing but "fake" or easy, the only thing that's fake is your mom's pretentiousness.

  • @jackalsocoke I just tried,a few minutes ago. She ran away and said "I have something more important to do than listening to your so-called music." and she left me crying alone. Yeah, great mom, thanks.

  • @MarysSounds

    Thats why you shouldn't bother to tell them anything you like or play. They just aren't interested. No point crying over it though. Its hardly the end of the world.

  • @WingsOfADarkAngel orly? not being able to share something with your parents ISN'T grave, you say? I think it is.

  • @MarysSounds

    Well your entitled to your opinion. But I wouldn't let it bother me personally. Everyone's different. Not the end of the world.

  • @MarysSounds That's really a shame. Hate to judge someone I've ever met but she sounds pretty close-minded and not much of a good mother if she can't encourage you to listen to what you like, especially beautiful piano music. But don't let it get in the way of fully enjoying fantastic music like this. Some people really need to break out of their head that all video games are just games. They're not. They're an art form. Games have some of the most breathtaking music to ever grace my ears.

  • @CheckersXIV my dad does the same thing to me with Vocaloid........... i hate it, it gets on my nerves so i just altogether stopped bringing it up around him

    soo i guess i feel your pain when it comes to parents not liking stuff you love

  • @MarysSounds I GET IT!!!! HEARTLESS!!!!!! she might as well be NOBODY!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHA sorry....my mom is the same way, maybe a little bit more open but she probably just says listens to please me... =/

  • @unknownwonder123 poor us T3T

  • @CheckersXIV Hahaha SAME HERE! Although with my mom it was when she heard me playing "To Zanarkand". Music can seriously make or break something, and Square Enix has hit it spot on, for the most part.

  • @CheckersXIV I play Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy music in my car all the time, and now my mom wants to go to Distant Worlds for my birthday!

  • @MrPtolemysgate I'll give my own answer that I feel makes more sense.

    How you perceive the song is differently than how others have. The memories we each have connected with it may be stronger or weaker than your own and we may hold theose memories extremely close to us for how important they feel.

    I think that is why.

  • Kingdom hearts is so much more then a video game..

  • @hairycrotch12 yeah, it's.... well what is it exactly? please tell me because I'm a big Kingdom Hearts fan. If there's something significant I'm missing really want to know.

  • @hairycrotch12 I agree totally! In fact I only heard the score and I wanted to play it. The story line is genius, the score is magnificent and the characters are so real. This game is better than those stupid demon, killing etc games. It is very intellectual!

  • :')

  • wow. my speakers literally stopped working. i bet it was because this song was too awesome.

  • 1:52 makes me cry...

  • @Enryu ditto !

  • the part beginning at 2:19 until around 3:00 is the most beautiful and delicate and makes me tingle a little each time i hear it.

  • Comment removed

  • I know what i'm performing next! THAT IS EPPPPPIIICCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wat dynamic!...these pieces are on the expertise level..id have a hard time playing this and im past lvl 6 piano...there so beautiful that i think id b able to accomplish it and move ppl with my music

  • @MrPtolemysgate People are ‘freaking out’ because this piece really is beautiful. You’ve listened to this intently? Hard to believe when you “can’t really understand”, I doubt anyone wishes to know that you don’t appreciate this piece as some others. Why bother making a comment if you’re going to criticize how other people feel about this piece.

    Great piece, ab imo pectore.

  • this is the best song ever

  • i bet some of you guys waited until 5:11 LOL.

  • This  is astonishingly good. It's evoked the most powerful reaction to music I've had yet, and that's not something to be taken lightly.

  • esta cancion es una de las mejores

    de la coleccion

  • I can play, Flight of the Bumblebees, I've heard some of the best pianists from Carnagie Hall, I've even met, Nobou Uematsu, and this is genuinely the most beautiful thing I've veer heard.

  • I am really, really disappointed.

    The whole thing seemed obnoxious!

  • whoever disliked this means they didn't have a childhood..

  • For some reason I am shaking and convulsing slightly to this. This is beautiful.

  • i like this song its really cool and has lots of enotion

  • jesus christ thats crazy!

  • I have the sheet to be send =). only ask it for me.

    This piece is great!

  • @Losttt447 please send me.... I want to try so badly

  • @Losttt447 Could you send me it please? :D

  • Sounds awesome but is ungodly difficult to play.

    Requires a LOT of practice to get it to sound right.

  • My face: o:

  • the two people who dislike this must be deaf

  • :O

    Humans cannot descirbe how awesome this is.

    Takehiko, you're a god.

  • I... promised myself not to.... cry.... OH F*** MY PROMISE!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!­! sniff... TT_TT

  • Every time I feel down I play this song alone and in the dark, I remember how much my mom loved the original Kingdom Hearts and its soundtrack and now that she's gone all I have is her memories sharing time with me while playing this amazing game. It's a strange mix of happiness and sadness but it makes me feel safe. ^_^

  • @SpartanXNA amen.

  • @SpartanXNA :) that's really beautiful. before my mom passed, she bought us the game and watched me play. she sat loving the music along with me and my brothers as we played. and now as tears flows down my eyes, im happy and content. thank you for sharing.

    This song is truly beautiful.

  • @SpartanXNA my dad got the original game for me and my sister 4months before he had passed away, my sister and i were to you to young to understand and never really got pass destiny islands, so we would just watch him play it when he got home from work. we still have that game today, he knew how to play violin and piano so he would play the music for us. his favorite was "fragments of sorrow"

  • @SpartanXNA

    i wish my parents were like that. i really do. i'm trying to learn how to play this song

  • @SpartanXNA She will always be in your heart. Remember that and in the darkest of times you will feel safe.

  • @SpartanXNA <3

  • Comment removed

  • @kEybLaDEMasT3R i want the midi plz

  • dang. im in awe.

  • this makes me wana cry so bad

    lmaoo i can see myself running with a keyblade in my hand and faceing the most powerfull heartsless and nobody in the world. and then i bring peace to the world and walk on one path thats leads to somewhere amazing

  • i came.

  • This...is an amazing piece of music. It is very beautiful...its hard to tell this started from a video game!

  • I love it!!!

    It has a different feeling than the original Dearly Beloved, true

    But...somehow it's magic :D

    It gives me chills!

    It's like...going up a staircase to something epic!

  • This is amazing

  • im trying to learn it, but I need help on the coordination of it. I've been playlng for almost a year

  • a year working on the piece or a year in general?

    cus theres no way u can learn it without a good amount of experence

    i havent actually learned the piece so I cant tell but i was able to easily sight read the whole piece

    basically the left hands easy arpeggios and the rights 4 note chords so the left hands the only thing u should watch out for

  • @littldiscipl2 Just keep practising, and as long as you feel what you play, you'll keep improving your play!

  • The beginners think it's hard :S

  • you still have to have a lot of practice to play this

    its not something anyone can pick and play

  • i seriously wanna learn how to play the kingdom hearts piano pieces but im pretty sure im going to slaughter it T-T my fingers werent meant to play such deep and complicated music.

    The music in kingdom hearts is so beautiful...who could guess that its from a game? i told my mom and she was like "'WA-WAT?" xD

  • Seriously, parents need to have an open mind when it comes to games these days...

  • @radleyXIII Agreed. My parents hate any games I play.

  • @radleyXIII Lol my mom is the one who bought the game for us and thought it looked cool. My brother and I didn't even care for it when she got for us, but all that changed...

  • im scared to play this song, i dont know if i even can...

  • Best version of Dearly Beloved :)

    at 2:18 OMAGAAAD

  • OMG 2:08 daaaammnnnn

  • i love this arrangement, but i dont agree witht he last chord. i dont think that it should be resolved... it makes it sound like it has an end. idk, that last chord just doesnt settle with me. great arrangement on a wonderful piece though, i love it!

  • @trekid54409 agreed there shud be no end to the song like the original.. it could just play forever.. and that would be ok with me

  • you guys know that this is  yoko shinomura favourite piece

  • I enjoy all the allusions to romantics composers in this work. :)

  • @DLGulick Liszt-like ;)

  • @DLGulick I know there's the Ocean Etude and perhaps Rachmaninoff, but who else? I wanna look them up :)

  • is this song hard to play?

  • Yes it is hard to play.. very possible, with practice, but just a lot to teach yourself :)

  • does it SOUND hard?

  • if you play the version in kh1 and not this version (cause this guys amazing) its not hard and you can do it with one hand

  • yeah KH1 verions is deffinitely easy. This one sounds great but It's gonna be very hard to learn

  • This song portrays the unconditional love Sora has towards Kairi and the deperate journey to reunite with her...

    I wish everyone had love towards their friends, family and lovers the way sora shows love towards his friend Kairi. He may be fictional, as well as Kairi, but if everyone felt like this, towards everyone in their lives, the world might be a better place... that's just my thoughts, anyway :)

  • Well you can also so the same about the "other" Sora and Kairi too ;)

  • ... it does?

  • i feel the same way except then i think of roxas and then (even though hes my favorite) i get all sad

  • you know what makes me sad? zack in birth by sleep. a feeling of happiness and sadness floods me.

  • I know absolutely nothign about pianos, but I think I get the theme to this version...its more embracing of struggle and fights for love, that the game displays so well.

  • well yes i do agree that it sould be a more gentle feel but it is a concert paraphrase so it is almost like a song based off of the sound of another song but played in a different perspective. But thats just my thought of it as well.Still this song is amazing I wish I could play like him.

  • ok... if they didnt call this dearly beloved i might have some respect for it. but isnt the whole idea of dearly beloved to be peaceful? in m opinion (if you disagree more power to yo everyone has different opinions) i think he kinda butchered this song

  • lol.... the theme is originally from a video game. The name "dearly beloved" isn't the entire title of this particular rendition. it's a "classical paraphrase", meaning in the classical world, with the formulas and the theory applied, this is ONE possible way to perform the theme. the original idea is indeed peaceful, and that tune, even within the context of the video game is changed to fit the situation (like they do with the themes of POTC) it's still gorgeous, but it's different.

  • No not really chopin but the resemblance is alot more rachmaninoff piano concerto 2, still it's a great arrangement! I'm learning this piece, wish me luck ^__^""

  • The full piano arpeggiation in the beginning is actually as reminiscent of Chopin's Ocean Etude as the opening is of Rach. 2

  • This person has some serious talent! Is he the official Pianist for Yoko or what?

  • well, he's the official pianist for the CD, idk about for Yoko in general haha

  • Gotcha thanks!

  • waoh ~ brilliant.

    was anyone else reminded of rachmaninoff at the beginning? piano concerto ~

  • totally...

  • SHIT.

    o__o

  • i just went temporarily deaf from the awesomeness of this song~

  • whoever did this must have brought mozart back from the dead.

    this is so amazing i forgot to breath.

  • @XxAznChrizxX yoko shimomura, she did most of the kh soundtracks.

    i just realized that that's a golden cup and plate with a chain and in the cup is hot chocalate with the foam showing piano keys

  • @XxAznChrizxX I guess it was Takehiko Yamada. Not Mozart. But I think it´s composed by Yoko Shimomura.

  • I found that someone put the tracks on, so... yeah?

  • am i...am i crying?

  • no. that's just the juices your brain made after exploding from the awesomeness of this song

  • @Tsutaru 

  • @Tsutaru Kingdom hearts 2 when sora left for the train also cried because he heard this song in his mind. :)

  • sorry about mis miss spell.
