Simple and Clean (Kingdom Hearts) - Mree Cover
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Kingdom Hearts was one of my absolute favorite games growing up. Thought it was about time I summoned up the courage and put my own twist on Utada Hikari's "Simple and Clean" (and sing in Japanese?? - lol my apologies for the mispronunciations!) Hope to have done it justice for all my fellow KH fans.
Recorded, Produced and Filmed by Mree
Available on iTunes, Spotify, etc: spoti.fi/3agT77i
Watch my "Passion / Sanctuary" cover! • Passion / Sanctuary - ...
"Simple and Clean" and "Hikari" originally performed and written by Hikaru Utada

the bass drops, she sings the reprise in Japanese. OH MY HEART
Literal chills my friend...
Definitely the best part
Dude, Spoilers
Had I not know it was coming because of you I would have been more impressed when it happened.
But agreed, I love the language. Before I pass from this world I will learn Japanese.
Nostalgia. Like hardcore. Thank you.
I just want to let you know, that while i was in prison, my buddy had this song on his tablet, and it helped me get through a hard time in my life & help me get on track, even though the song had nothing to do with what i had going on but it helped me to stay relaxed. And i thank you for that.
Hope you are doing better now brother
You guy have tablets in prison? Are you talking about apple tablets or moses' ten commandment type of tablets?
Respect stay on a good path
U had tablets in prison? Must have been easy time.
That's what's up 😉👍👍👍👍
Really impressive, especially since she was being attacking periodically by ghost images of herself on the sides of the screen
TypetwoAbsolute thanks for the quick laugh mate! Lol
LOL
😂😂😭😭
😆😆😆
You are my kind of person lol!
You got my daughter to go back to sleep.
BLESS YOU, YOU MAGNIFICENT HUMAN BEING.
If my mom played this song to put me to sleep it would be a core memory.... Such an amazing gift as a parent
How, how come I have not seen this until now. 3 years is too damn long.
hey at least you found it.
IKR same! this is freaking amazing!
Exactly I just randomly stumbled across this and I see I’ve been missing out geez.
same
Try four.
You're giving me too many things
Lately, you're all I need
You smiled at me and said
"Don't get me wrong, I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?"
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said
"No, I don't think life is quite that simple”
When you walk away
You don't hear me say
"Please, oh baby, don't go."
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
The daily things that keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said
"Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?"
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple
Donna toki datte zutto futari de
Donna toki datte soba ni iru kara
Kimi to iu hikari ga watashi wo mitsukeru
Mayonaka ni
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Terebi keshite watashi no koto dake wo
Miteite yo
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
Oh my goodness. This is the best version I've ever heard of this song.
+KelucIndustries Thank you!
This was my wedding song 6.27.20. Despite covid and feeling off by what's going on, this song made my wedding just perfect
That is beautiful, congratulations
So cute! Congratulations!
damm thats mad cringe.
@@rickjames5998 oh shut it.😑
wow do you have a video? That is awesome.
Holy. Oh my. This is easily the best version of this song.
Hiiii shady :D
+shadypenguinn I know right!? You should try to do your own cover, Shady! :) Guy version!
+shadypenguinn SHADY. OMG
Your comment became top comment xD
+shadypenguinn Shady is the last person I expected to see in the Comments! Haha
I can't describle how incredible this version is!
You. Are. Awesome.
+Guilherme Gabriel Gomes Lima Thank you!
MreeMusic
+MreeMusic You're perfect.
Née! Mas acompanho a Mree a algum tempo
More kisses from Brasil
This is so beautiful. You can tell SO much emotion was put into this. I've been playing KH since I was like 6 and I always liked this song. Never gave too much thought to it though. But when I heard your version of it it was like I suddenly understood the meaning of the lyrics.
Thank you so much :)
No comments in 4 years is a crime. I’ll never get sick of this cover! Where is my 2024 gang?
As a studio musician... This is freaking astonishing! What an amazing rendition of a song that I didn't think that could get better.
"Holy Shit"
- Time Magazine
I love the part around 2:30 when you almost believe she'll go with a louder voice, and instead she comes back to a whisper... It sounds so pure. Your voice is beautiful and full of emotions, thank you.
Emy M. She was rising us up and gently laid us down to reflect on life
brilliant
My fiance and I are using your version for our first dance at our Kingdom Hearts themed wedding. Thank you for creating such a beautiful cover!
Still listining to this in 2023. Love her voice. So soothing.
Mree, you seriously are a gift to the world. Please never stop, I will always show you love and support!
Thank you so much!
MreeMusic HNGGGGGG, I WANNA BE FRIENDS SO BADD
Yep, purchased this via iTunes. Without a seconds thought.
THIS SONG IS AMAZING!
Roulan Ceniza what everyone's thinking but won't say.
MreeMusic, fan since I first heard your covers a few years back, still a fan now and can't get enough. Keep on doing what you love, cause we love it too :)
I've heard this song countless times and heard a million covers but yours made me so unbelievably emotional. I was driving to work listening to it over my speakers and just I broke down into tears. Music never moves me to the point of tears. you have talent never stop doing what you do because you have a gift.
Couldn't word it better myself.
+chuwiwoo It means a lot to hear that. Thank you :)
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
I remember breaking down and crying after hearing it the first time. It still gets me even today after 5 years. She's got the most beautiful voice that I think I've ever heard as well. ❤
My poor heart was not ready for this cover, I had to listen to it in portions. Whoever disliked this should be ashamed of themselves.
One of my favourite songs for... I don't even know how many years now, 8? lol. The way Mree sings this is so beautiful.
lmao! well said
Wow! Seriously great job! KH was one of my faves as well. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
MreeMusic this is so beautiful. I would have loved for this cover to be the actual in-game song. Subscribing! :)
+isaac hendrickson Great job mree but umm not in the game
Xynill a You wouldn't want it in the game?
isaac hendrickson no
OH WOW. I had so many goosebumps. And THEN YOU STARTED SINGING JAPANESE, oh my word. It was visually appealing with the layout and editing too! This is so wonderful I really hope that you go places with your singing
+Ashley Lauren Thank you so much :)
I agree, this is my favorite cover of this song definitely. And I love love love the hint of Hikari in this cover. I'm not sure how many people will appreciate it as much as I do but it must be noted. thank you very much c:
+MreeMusic what toothpaste do u use? ur teeth are perfect ^^
+Yuri Kim lmao
I have his song on repeat. This was absolutely beautiful.
Thank you so much!
MreeMusic that was so beautiful do you still make videos
When she started singing in Japanese I melted like a goddamned ice cube under the fridge.
Me too but she mispronounced "Hikari" :(
@@victoriacg9184 😒
Funny when she sang in japanese I cringe cuz it was terrible guess we heard different things
Same, incredible
@@bbfan84 that’s even funnier because even Japanese natives thought it was pretty good...
Just bought this off of iTunes. Love the combination of English and Japanese in this. Very smooth and calming take on this song. It was very "simple and clean", for lack of a better term, haha! Great work!
LucariosKlaw
cool
You know what? This is probably the most elegant cover I've ever had the delight pleasure of stumbling across.
I love how she takes so many liberties without deriving too far off melody. And lack of vibrato is actually perfect. Beautifully done.
I agree that it's a beautiful cover, but I heard vibrato several times before I even got 1/4 of the way through it...?
Who else discovered mree through this years ago? Straight nostalgia
DAMN GIRL!!!! when you started off I was amazed😁😀 but when you switched to Japanese I was blown away 😍
Dude literally fucking same!
+michael sanchez omg same
+michael sanchez I was at first like: Wow, that voice is goddamn amazing! But then she sang japanese...
No words....
Dad: "damn why tf you crying so loud?!"
Me: *this video*
Dalton Taylor bruh same rnnn 😂
First video of hers I've seen. Less than a minute later "Subscribes". Yeah I loved it that much.
Watched this like 20 times so far...Read this... realized i had not subscribed yet..... I feel so sad now. But at least i am now!
same thing happened to me right now
same
same man, same.
same
This has my vote as the best cover of this song.
This was the version I was looking for... Dreamer, hopeful, pensive, bittersweet, nostalgia, sad and more. Thank you
I just saw it on facebook and i had to find the song myself i want to purchase it you have one of the most incredible voices ive ever heard
john lockwood Thank you so much!
I fell in love you have such a beautiful voice and you did amazing thus version is better than the original
I have no words for this. Like I'm completely speechless, like this is beyond amazing. What ever you are doing, keep doing it. Just wow.
+Desiree Wiggins Thank you so much!
5 years later and this is still my favourite cover ❤❤
i'm totally serious when i say this is the best cooover in the world !!! ❤❤❤❤❤
You're so sweet :) Thank you!!
I agree!
Completely agree, there's not one that's better
*_So this is how it sounds like when an angel sings._* I always wondered
not rly, utada hikaru still worlds beter.
I puked a little
sorry but nope nai
Nai I agree with you but sheesh give her a little credit, this is probably the best cover for simple and clean.
Nai The original is the original, but "worlds better" is impossible. Her cover was so incredibly appropriate to how this song should sound. Her voice was perfect for it too.
Okay..
So this is one of the best cover I ever seen. You're so talented and you seem very passionate.
I wasn't expecting the japaneese lyrics, I almost cry lol
Let me thank you for this treasure.
+Wa-Lee Thank you so much!
+MreeMusic Simply amazing.
This is helping me get through this quarantine. Her voice is giving me life. Who else?
I listen to her music all the time. Her voice really helps to make me feel relaxed and just..okay. this is my favorite song of hers for sure. I playlist all of them though 😅❤
i have a dedicated Mree playlist for the really rough times
Your profile is helping me
Yep 😭
Sheets bleed white, the liquid forms from biological reproductive glands as it shrinks from a job well done.
zomg that was stunning. Best cover of this I've ever heard. Just all the layers, the tenderness to your voice, your tone in general...so lovely
Crystal Dennis Music thank you :)
MreeMusic Why arent they more cover not trying to be rude jut want more cover so that means i like your content
MreeMusic Mree...Utada Hikaru is awesome...but you may just taken her out with this rendition. I'm serious. I'm am so serious it's not funny. This is...unbelievably unreal. I'm blown away.
Crystal Dennis Music Agree!!
BEAUTIFUL!
holy cow batman!! you're right heather it is beautiful!! wow!!
Heather Feather ASMR Would you say this song makes a good ASMR video? It definitely gives me chills.
Heather Feather ASMR A wild Heather was spotted! 10 points to gryffindor
+Heather Feather ASMR Okay, the fact that you like Kingdom Hearts makes you and even better ASMRtist than I thought you were. And you're pretty high up in my list. Have you ever thought of a KH-themed ASMR video? Like, you healing someone after battling the Heartless
+Heather Feather ASMR Jeez Heather stop commenting on every video I watch lol
You sent mad chills down my spine when you suddenly broke out the Japanese lyrics. This was an absolutely amazing cover, and I thank you for it.
Somehow in the course of 4 minutes and 16 seconds, Mree managed obliterate my entire list of favorite singers and then sat herself at the top.
there’s something about this song, just like how there’s something about kingdom hearts - it shouldn’t make sense, but there’s this magnetic quality to it that draws you in and makes you fall in love. beautiful cover, had me in tears :)
How does this song not make sense? I find it pretty clear 🤔
what do you mean... "it shouldn't make sense"?
So happy you're back!!
you always know the best youtubers haha
OMG YOU WATCH HER TOO?! *lovesyouevenmore*
I cant understand how simple and clean this version can be, its amazing :) I dont get why people dare to put a dislike to such a beautiful song. 337 people never play any Kingdom hearts games and dont know wtf plus they dont like good music.
This is a beautiful cover. My girlfriend commited suicide 2 years and she loved this song. Thank you for this. You dont know how much your helping people with your passion.
Wow, really? What happened?
TheSeantuuw3 what the fuck u think happened
@@TheSeantuuw3 This man is on a different dimension lmfao
last plaguedoctor I’m sorry about girlfriend. I pray to God your days get easier.
♥️
In anticipation for the KH3, this is still relevant 🙌
and sadly Face my Fears doesn't capture that magical feelings you get when you listen to this and Sanctuary. Dubstep has no place in Kingdom hearts.
This should be in KH3! Nomura, we need this!
after game credits...
Nicholas Kong I agree. An acoustic version of "Simple and Clean" either by Utada or someone like Mree needs to be used at the end. I'm thinking over a montage of clips throughout the past games and all the memories from those games
Nicholas Kong yeah tetsuya Nomura should put this in KH3!
No, we need a new theme song from Utada Hikaru herself.
Its been confirmed we are getting a new theme with Utada Hikaru singing it.
You are beyond talented, but you already knew that. You took an already amazing song from an awesome game and gave it a fresh twist, especially with the switch from the English to Japanese. Thank you for making this. It just reminds me how much I enjoy all of Kingdom Hearts.
2:24-2:32 is my favorite part you did it so differently and killed and I swear it puts a smile on my face every time I feel down thank you for making this this was done 2 years ago but I will always come back to this part
My God. These vocals are insane. And I loved how you incorporated the Japanese version. Wow. This cover is nothing short of stunning.
I've absolutely murdered this song across Spotify and Google Play Music. Had no idea it was from a UA-cam singer. It's freaking wonderful.
it's actually a song from the game Kingdom hearts xD
Cromartie Utada sings the original
pantelis stany You're both right and wrong at the same time
It's major showcasing was in Kingdom Hearts but it was already a song from Utada Hikaru.
Cromartie it's from the ending of the game she's just doing a cover of it
GUYS GUYS JUST SAW HER INSTAGRAM SHE IS GOING TO UPLOAD KINGDOMHEARTS SANCTUARY :DDDDDDDDDDD
This version is truly amazing! I just started replaying Kingdom Hearts and I just had to hear this version again for the fifteen millionth time lol
God damn this song was rendered so beautifully, you're going to make me cry because this song feels so...nostalgic.
imma do you a favor if you don’t already know how to do this:
1. right click w cursor over video
2. press loop
3. enjoy
Wha about phone?
Really late but make a private playlist with one video and press the 2 arrows to loop it
I do like that someone as talented as you covered this song, I'm more of a fan of the original because of Utada Hikaru. This felt a little slow paced for me but it was beautiful. Quality Cover.
+Ron Reyes try the 1.25 speed ~
+meow kitty Thanks for the tip :)
+meow kitty That sounds just as good!!!
+Vetou Meas it was a little too slow for me as well but 1.25 sounds rly good in my opinion
Hands down the most lovely voice I've ever heard
I had to look around to make sure I wasn't in Heaven just now- this was the most beautiful cover I've ever heard.
omgomgomgmog i can't stop listening!!! you're voice is so beautiful
yourcuppaJOE your* oops lol
+yourcuppaJOE saved yourself from a grammar nazi
+Hanta Catalan He got lucky this time.
I have heard several covers of this song, and.... this is so wonderful~ KH is one of my favourite game series and this is my favourite song. This is so beautiful~
+NightcoreSisters Thank you!
You're welcome~
+NightcoreSisters listen to natewantstobattle cover
+NightcoreSisters you can play the kingdom hearts games on your computer if you have a game controller (ps3 or xbox) by downloading pcsx2 (free program)
Otakus United I have. His version is cool too. So is Amalee's on the channel LeeandLie. I listen to Nate's music quite often and same with LeeandLie.
awesome7732 I have the program, but I don't have the discs or anything. I used to play them all the time as a kid and I still do. KH and FF are two of my all time fave series. I appreciate the suggestion. ^^
This needs to be the ending song for Kingdom Hearts 4. Exactly as it is. Sora finally back with Kairi. King Mickey back with Queen Minnie. The worlds finally in balance. This song playing as they recount their journey.
Now we know KH4 won't end that way. 💀 Nomura will keep the story for another 50+ games.
@@Panimal98 We can hope for some kind of resolution
We CANNOT stop playing this on repeat. You have such a natural gift, never change.
god, me too
1 1/2 ago I posted on this video that i play this to get my daughter Kairi to sleep, well she is 2 now and loves it, she has asked me
to play it 5 times already today! thanks for this and I wish you the best
Rodger Strickland do you know what game this is from?
Rodger Strickland are u a KH fan?
Well considering he named his daughter Kairi, I bet he does guys...
Your daughter is named kairi? Damn awsome
Gaming Central kingdom hearts
I was not expecting that japanese change up lol. Very beautiful cover. Gave me the feels lol.
Her voice is so pure
Have you ever heard something so beautiful, you just can't help but cry?
Real Faction / Piercing Lazer. Yes THIS
Just did...
The ending of Final Fantasy X give me pretty much the same feelings. EACH time.
I love it. Kingdom Hearts is one of my favorite games of all time and you really did this song justice. Keep it up.
+Miguel Ayala Thanks so much!
+MreeMusic You're very welcome!
The parts where you sing Japanese lyrics adds something great to your cover. Easily one of the best I've heard
I am man enough to admit this makes me tear up or cry every time I listen....
I swear kingdom hearts is the best thing in this world
@☢Kalle🚀 Last of Us, Mass Effect, The Walking Dead, Final Fantasy. I can think of a few game series that can.
Birth by Sleep was tragic
Gingergamer I second this.
- Winter my love for rwby is as big as everyone’s love for kingdom hearts
Dark Horizon not fnaf
Stop
Im Japanese and i think you sang that part very well :)
omaewa mo shinderiu
nani!?
Nick, I am.. (She slayed me.)
you make my day
How do i stumble upon this video a few years later? this is amazing and supper creative. I love it and it makes me want to sing again!!
I love how she performs this song with so much work that was put in to it
Oh my god. This cover almost had me in tears..thank you so much for sharing this
I will singly handley get this video to 1,000,000 views.
MultiNightsniper I will help you in your quest my good friend

Congratulations on your collective efforts.
MultiNightsniper u did ittt
Good Lord this girl has the voice of 100 angels
BOI not even heaven compares to this
Pure.
That's the word I'm using to describe this. Wonderfully done.
I have no words, this is the most amazing cover I've ever heard, this is simple (and clean lol), natural unlike 90% of hq covers on YT, you made the song YOURS and the vocals are AMAZING.
Everything was perfect, the instrumental, the voice control which was neither too soft nor too 'loud', everything was perfect.
You need to be known.
2:17-2:40 was my favorite part, EARGASM. Sometimes you sounded like Christina Grimmie, especially at 2:22, it gave me goosebumps and after 2:40 started hikari, it was needed in the original and you included it.
No words but amazing.
Dem. L agreed with everything you said. I'm a fan after this!! Her control and transitions into her falsetto are superb! Harmonies are definitely hitting all the spots as well. Haha
Dem. L I'm sorry to bother you but I seen your profile pic. can you please tell me the name of that show
Jermain Green it's Zatch Bell. :3
RIP Christina :'(
My favorite part also
I listen to this cover almost everyday, so calming. Thank you for the years of peace this song has given me!
Once in a while i comeback to here to listen and I always end up crying. Such a beautiful voice thanks for the cover!
I went down a rabbit hole at 3am and wound up here. Probably the best Utada cover I've ever heard. Very well done.
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE.
I shared this all over Facebook..someone needs to see your talent. I can't stop replaying this...
Right?
I was feeling really down today until I listened to this song. Brought me to the brink of tears and I've feel like this song just healed my wounded heart
i have played KH from start to now, all titles all sub games. but what ishappening to me .......i literally break down in tears to this cover. ......dont ever stop
Did I die and go to heaven? Hikki should be so proud. You've got a new fan. ^^
I absolutely love it. I can only imagine the number of guys who fell in love with Mree instantly. Also love the editing, aaaaand subscribed.
You gave me the same chills I felt when originally hearing this as a child, thank you.
stopped by just to check out a cover of one of my fav songs, but i was genuinely blown away by your performance, bravo!
Every month or so I come back and listen to this, I just love it so much.
I feel like an angel just serenaded me, and it actually healed my soul.
I cannot stop listening to this song! I always make sure to have it in whichever playlist I listen to. Such a calming voice covering one of my favorite video game songs! Thank you Mree! From the bottom of my heart I truly appreciate it ❤️
Nonstop goosebumps!
I LOVE kingdom hearts and her voice!!!!!
Makes me want to be less of a prick…get it?
Just a beautiful voice. Plain and simply
The best version of this song
I cried at one point
So good
Thank you mree
This is so weird, I seriously haven't listened to your stuff maybe in over a year and today in the morning I decided to listen to "Goodnight and Goodbye" in my car and I check my UA-cam subscriptions and I see that you uploaded a video! CRAZY. I've been subbed to you and listening to your covers since I was in Middle School and I'm in College now...
Came back to give some love after the smash reveal
It's nice to see a new video from you! This is wonderful.
This is about to break 4 million views! I listen to this probably four times a year (I want it to remain special and it’s a mood song) it’s such a special song and hold’s a unique place in my heart growing up playing Kingdom hearts when I was around 10-12. This is by far the best cover and IMO contends with the original, you truly made this Your own and it brings me to my childhood. Congratulations Mree! Thank you!
