"I don't want to be alone. But I don't have to be alone. If everyone suffers with me, I won't be the only one!"
I feel bad for Zero. A being of absolute power, never able to understand happiness, only knowing pain and misery.
Perhaps in death, Zero can know happiness.
Rest in peace, Kirby's one true Nightmare.
Im crying from this comment,I feel bad for Zero,Rest in Peace Zero.
A.L.P.H.A.

You do know it's basically just an eyeball with no background, right?
Rainbow World
Uh oh, looks like someone didn’t do their research...
BUT ALAS.
void termina.
I find it very fascinating that lyrical O2 is a extremely common theme with video game remixes, and 10 years on I’m still I’m here for it!
The power of Music: transforming apparently genocidal demonic angels into tragic figures every day.
He is the embodiment of tragic, made of negative emotions, can't feel any kind of joy, not even evil or sadistic, doomed to corrupt and spread despair EVERYWHERE.
Yup. That is a cover for a music heard from a "kid" game. Awesome.
Not to mention its the music that plays when you fight a bleeding eyeball.
When I noticed that lyrics were added to the closing bars of the song, I was worried that they'd cheese up the beauty of the prior minutes. But that didn't happen. This is nothing short of flawless - especially said lyrics.
"And now I shall return the world to zero. To nothing. 'Cause if I cannot feel joy, no one ever will."
Blown away.
Gets the logic of dark matter very well, beings of negative emotions, can't feel any joy genuine or sadistic, doomed to spread despair and CORRUPTION.
Our choir founder and musical director wanted to put games and choral music together, so she started this group three years ago. The lyrics were written by Daniel Jimenez, arranger and assistant director~
2:06 And I'll suffer endlessly, this is why I have to be alone, In darkness, you denied my happiness, and I shall return the world to zero, to nothing, cause if i cannot feel joy, no one ever will
Zero. Child if Sorrow and Darkness. It couldn't remember what "love" is. An outcast. It didn't like being alone. It didn't know how to LOVE. How to feel anything but despair. It was jealous of Kirby. Why did this pink circle have more friends then it? It wanted to be Kirby's friend to. But how? Zero tried the only way he knew. It had made the Dark Matters already. A failed attempt at friends. Zero used these Dark Matters to possess people. But these possessed people were not happy either. What little sense the had told them to stay away from Zero. Zero didn't like this. It angered Zero. But Kirby had so many friends! Maybe Kirby would accept it! But Zero was angered when Kirby denied it. Kirby was simply afraid that he would get possessed! Zero was angry. It attacked. Kirby had to stop Zero! Kirby didn't want to. He knew Zero was misunderstood. He regretted denying Zero's friendship request. But Zero was threatening the universe. So Kirby fought with the very thing Zero couldn't understand; Love. But Kirby killed Zero. Kirby didn't mean to! But Zero's soul was dark and restless. It was more or less stuck in pergatory. Zero still wanted friendship. But it now hated Kirby. Zero used it's sorrow and everyone else's to reincarnate into Zero Squared. 02 for short. It knew a huge source of happiness- a crystal on a planet named Ripple Star. It sent it's Dark Matters after it. It wasn't in 02's plans for that pesky faire Ribbon to take the crystal. But 02 commanded three if the Dark Matters to go after her. No more Mr. Nice Zero. The three scouts attacked- they may not of killed her, but they broke the Crystal of Joy. 02 was fine with this. If he isn't happy, no one is! Though is plan may of been to use the Crustal to make Itself happy, this would work. It didn't know that Ribbon crashed into Kirby. Kirby agreed to help Ribbon find the rest of the Shards of the Crystal. 02 was angry. Kirby had made it this way! Kirby found the Shards. And 02 revealed itself. 02 wanted to destroy the UNIVERSE. But Kirby defeated it. Maybe for the better? It's whole life, Zero was in misery. But Zero's spirit STILL lives on- in us. In some more than others. Each living thing has a piece of Zero. Each person has a piece. Even Kirby. The perfect balance made a true crusader of Light. Kirby had that. But now we all have Zero inside is. Know that it knows how you feel when you are down. We all have Light in us-resembling Kirby. Kirby is there to help you through rough times as well. Kirby is the angel. Zero is also the angel- of darkness. And We support Kirby's legacy, as Kirby is still living. And we carry on Zero's Legacy.
"And I'll suffer endlessly. This is why I have to be alone in darkness. You denied my happiness! And it shall return the world to ZERO. To NOTHING. Cause' if I can not feel joy.... Then no one ever WILL."
I ZeRo SHaLl DesTRoY YOu AlL. YoU GeT FRiEndShiP And LoVE. It IS NOt faIR. I TrIED. yOu DeNIeD mE.
***** Thanks .3. This is the kind of stuff i do in my freetime. No, i literally spend my freetime trying to figure out Zero's past.
Star Land Now I feel really sorry for Zero....
YOU ARE A FUCKING ARTIST! This is so beutifly emotional and I love it.Cudos to you!
Great commet i aprove
You sir/madame, are awesome. Holy crap that was some feels trip.
2:06
A lot of people forget, that zero isn't just anger hate and jealousy, he's also sorrow, despair, and depression, he was born with negative emotions, and thus all he knows how to feel, he was created by the void to cause chaos destroy and corrupt, he didn't want to do it but since it denied him happiness, it's all he knew what to do...
MegaAntMan1 Zero Two didn't start out in Kirby 64, it actually first appeared in Kirby's Dream Land 3, as Zero. In that game, it is presumed that Zero just wanted friends, and tried to make "friends" by possessing them with Dark Matter, but Zero didn't understand that was bad or harmful, so Zero's presumably an innocent being that just made a mistake (but dangerous nonetheless). Kirby kills Zero, because he has to.
(Zero fought back only to try to save its own life, not understanding why Kirby was attacking it. The player at the controller probably wouldn't realize this and think Zero is just attacking cause it's the "bad guy".)
That is why in Kirby 64, Zero Two has wings like an Angel, because it was dead already. In my opinion, Zero Two has Angel wings and a Halo, as opposed to something like Demon wings, because Zero (in Dream Land 3) initially meant no harm, and desired good. Now Zero Two feels like it must be alone forever, and that it doesn't belong in this world. This makes Zero Two feel many things, all stemming from loneliness, and is why Zero Two uses Dark Matter again, this time with more malicious intent. As this song says, Zero Two decides if it can't be happy, no one can. So after Zero Two's resurrection as an Angel, it becomes a Fallen Angel after becoming bitter towards the world.
The band-aid on top of Zero Two's head is where Kirby landed the first fatal blow back in Dream Land 3. (Zero's eye splits out of itself, spewing blood all over the screen.)
Charles F.
That's deep...
Source that Zero originally meant no harm? Because possessing people to try and kill Kirby sounds like intentional harm...
TayoEXE
It wanted friends, and it didn’t know any better so when it was attacked it didn’t know why
Mostly right, Yes Zero and dark matter were jealous of Kirby's friends, and yes that band-aid is where Kirby struck the fatal blow, but it in no way MENT WELL, it knew all about the chaos misery and hate it was spreading, it knew it was corrupting everything, and did all of it because that was it's purpose, zero is literally made of NEGATIVE emotions, CREAMER from it, can't feel any positive Emotions AT ALL, not even evil sadistic joy, maybe it did want friends, but it was in no way TRYING TO MAKE THEM, it only wanted them to feel it's pain, DESPAIR, Apathetically turning them all into Zero. But they forgot about the super Star warrior, Kirby Who is made of positivity, The EMPATHY to the Apathy.
@@trackmastertheman7801 i think the reason i posted that 9 years ago is because if you were born with unmatched power, on a completely different axis to every other being in the universe, it would probably be very hard to develop a normal understanding of responsibility, or healthy boundaries of other living beings.
imagine how different you would be if you were a floating giant eyeball, and you (presumably) didn't know the origins of your birth or why you exist. it would probably make you do terrible things, because you wouldn't fully comprehend how destructive you were being, with no baseline to compare your actions to.
also the whole kirby is good because he's born good and zero is evil because zero's born evil is kind of a boring plotline, not saying it's wrong, but it's just "the chosen one" story over and over again, so not much room for character growth. the angel wings still strike me as an odd choice if that's what they were going for.
thanks for the response though, i'd forgotten all about this.
Can't listen to any other arrangement of the song without hearing these lyrics in my head.
Josh Layng i feel it. its been years but it doesnt feel right if i dont sing them in my head
After playing Kirby 64 Zero became my favorite Kirby villain.
It was Hyness for a long time because I love how he isn’t much of a villain but a good person twisted by the potential power he could gain from summoning void termina.
But Zero has just been there for so long, and always haunts Kirby games in some way to this day.
He really is Kirby’s one true nightmare (Thankyou guy in the comments of this video I stole this quote from.)
Spent the last twenty minutes sobbing, because I didn't expect to get called out by a choir.
Rated E
A game who’s final boss resembles a biblical seraphim and shoots blood at you
You know, for kids
Yeah it’s definitely child friendly :D
Zero...
You are my favorite villian
:3
I am crying... this song is so sad... but it makes you feel almost empathetic. Knowing that you couldn't feel happiness? Unable to experience the joy and love that everybody else can feel? Feeling forlorn and abandoned, knowing that you're only but a parasite to the world -existing without any true meaning -but to suffer -to be nothing. Knowing that where ever you turn, death is always bound to follow you, because you are empty, you are Zero... You will never be happy, for as long as you live...
This...
I...
There really aren't any words to express how beautiful this is.
Crystal Shards was that game during my childhood that I played so many times over that I can still remember every single secret and nuance to the game. Zero-Two's theme is so synonymous with my childhood to the point that this brought tears to my eyes.
Strangely, the lyrics at the end kinda match perfectly for Void
And i'll suffer endlessly
This is why I have to be
Alone in darkness
You denied my happiness
And now I shall return the world to Zero
to Nothing
'cause if I cannot feel joy, no one will
This is why my music theacher says : the human voice is the best musical instrument
Hear, hear!
@@doinkaesthetics You just responded to a comment from 4 years ago XD
@@martin_crakc786 better late than never XD
@@doinkaesthetics hehe
This. This was the song that changed my views on Zero entirely.
To think, what this tune originally came from is baffling.
The battle and epic theme was so unexpected, but this fan-based feedback is just inexplicably unprecedented to a sheer unimaginable level.
A few months ago, I listened to this.
Looking back at it now, I just realized there are lyrics. They fit Zero-Two really well, in my opinion.
What a fitting name to be replying to such a video haha. What irony
I think it’s quite beautiful a song as well - 02 ( fictive )
this literally made me cry, I love this song so much, even the origional made the listener FEEL what zero felt, and what Kirby felt all at the same time, shear determination and overwhelming... weight, the base being fast with the lead slow and powerful, so unlike the other tracks for kirby, but just as strong, if not stronger, and with the coir? tears, sniffly nose... I'd say I'm speechless, but that's obviously a lie
I'm pretty sure this is the first english vocal cover of Zero Two ever uploaded on UA-cam
Even to this day, Kirby 64 is my favorite game. And you.......all of you......all of you have amplified my love for it. This is everything that Zero Two is. And you turned it into a singing choir.
Incredible.
I dunno, Gooey seemed to have mysteriously disappeared after Dreamland 3, where the original 0 was fought. Oddly enough, last we saw anything that looked like Gooey was when you first see 0^2 at the end of 64 when it dons that fake face, that which heavily resembles Gooey's face. I've always been of the assumption that 0's soul, after being killed in Dreamland 3, took possession of Gooey's body and thus formed 0^2. This would add to the already epic final showdown with Dark Matter.
Kirby star allies:trololololololooloo!!!!
Huh, out of all the times I've come back to this, I just noticed someone sniffled at the end.
Wow. I never noticed that either. Thanks for pointing it out! /)
Josh Layng No problem! (\
''No one ever WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII* snif *IIIIIIIIIILL...''
*clapping*
I need to find me one of these and join it immediately.
jesus christ :o BEAUTIFUL
Quirky, decades-old Nintendo games and their music hit hearts this hard, Ladies and Gentleman. It has been an absolute pleasure and I cannot commend efforts like this enough.
This is fucking glorious.
Fucking.
Glorious.
The symbol of Zero Two is that of a fallen angel. One that rebelled, tried to take what it wanted by force, and ended up in a deeper region that it had ever anticipated. Now, it knows only how to hurt others and force its will upon theirs. I wish we knew more about Zero's origins, being the originator of the dark matter with a goal to reduce all joy and happiness to Zero. A fallen angel cannot bring anyone down lower than it already is.
Wow... Just wow... This is beautiful... *begins crying internally from feels load*
You guys are cool.
The first time i cry over a song.
My favourite part:THE END
At first I thought it needed to be speed up,but when they started singing "And I'll suffer endessly"...oh God,that was gorgeous.
Then I realized the hole song was gorgeous as it was.Good job!Don't worry,I've already hit the like button
This is probably my favorite Boss Theme of all time. When I was a kid, I played so much Kirby. (He was my dude) Then this fight started in Kirby64 and totally caught me off guard.
*Now is a Dark Souls boss.*
this song made me forget i was holding a book
"If I can't be happy, no pne deserves to be!"
-Dr. Zalost
The first time I saw that episode, Kirby Villains were the first thing that came to mind.
then try muriels happy plums!
I allways thought Gooey might have been a friend on the inside. A part of Dark Matter that wanted Kirby to succeed.
"And I'll suffer *endlessly*
This is why I have to be *ALONE*
In *darkness* .....
*You denied my happiness*
And now I shall return the world to
*ZERO* ....
To *NOTHING*
'Cause if I cannot feel joy....
*no one ever will* ."
I fell sorry for Zero.
AHH this is awesome! The lyrics are perfect.
Those lyrics are beautiful, the true meaning of why Zero Two exists, a very dark tone for the cute, pink, puffball Kirby!
Absolutely Legendary, the lyrics were a great input too.
So... have I not commented on this video until now...?
Anyway... even many years later. This is one of the best Zero-Two covers I've ever heard.
I remember mashing this up with an old orchestrated remix of the song many years ago.... It aged poorly. But, at the time, I thought I synched it well enough.
It's actually too bad there isn't a studio quality version of this song. I'd gladly buy it if there was a version like that.
But... yeah. This is super nostalgic to me now. Time sure does fly fast, huh?
This is still my favorite of the VGMC songs on UA-cam. Even though I frigging love Gerudo Valley, this is still so much more amazing. I can't even listen to the original without turning it off and coming back to this instead.
The LYRICS
THIS. NEEDS. MORE... VIEWS.
Rest in piece space matter
Why is there not enough views and likes to handle this much awesomeness?!?!
Those lyrics at the end though... I can really relate to this...
Honestly, so can I...
The lyrics are genius, I can feel sympathetic to 0² after I broke with my ex...
If my choir was like this...well there's that "if"
here´s the latin lyrics :
quod ego mos sino
INFINITIO (infinitias)
is est quare ego fui futurus
UNUS
IN OBSCURUM
vos renuo meus
GAUDIUM
quod iam ego vadum reverto orbis terrarum
UT ZERO
UT NUSQUAM
causa si ego no sentio gaudium,no unus umquam MOS...
just if you wanted to know them,but i'm not sure if they are 100 % correct,i can guarantee a 95 :)
My rendition of the end would go as follows: "Now I'll suffer endlessly, fated but to dissipate alone here in darkness, you've denied my happiness and now I shall return this world to ZERO, to NOTHING for if I cannot feel joy no one ever will"
*'cause if I cannot feel joy
A Random Person I like "for if I cannot feel joy" better because it sounds more grammatically correct
+A Random Person
Speaking of feeling, OW MY FEELS
+kutabarekid
Oh ok
_All I'd personally do is add "ness" to the Nothing lyric, it feels... empty without it._
This was okay at first.
And then I heard the lyrics.
The feels, man.
I liked for the lyrics at the end.
Zero-Two, Soul of Cinder
is ... is beautiful, is indescribable. Just started the choir, I felt that was going to cry.
long life to Zero Two, best Boss, best story, best theme EVER!
Sorry, bad english
This is absolutely brilliant! One of my favorite video game bosses of all time. :D
good god that was amazing.
damn I remember fighting zero two back in the day.... that motherfucker gave me nightmares... I kinda wish zero two was a boss in smash bros brawl
+Grey-Spark true plus zerotwo has great theme giygas theme is ok but you can expect that type of stuff out of a Earthbound game ... but seeing something like zerotwo in a Kirby game is surprising especially back in 64 days...but as years progressed sakurai. has proven to people that Kirby games aren't always cute and innocent kid games he really showed out on Kirby return to dreamland. with magolar and magolar soul
+PΩkemon TrΔiner RΣD
Sakurai only worked till Air Ride... :/
PΩkemon TrΔiner RΣD Sakurai wasn't the Director for Crystal Shards or Return to Dreamland so you are giving credit to the wrong guy. also, your Earthbound statement makes no snese since there are only 3 games with only 1 being released in America so how would it be expected? Giygas is almost universally considered the first "out of no where disturbing final boss in a child friendly game"
Dreamland in its darkest of days
Rated E my ass.
+HeliosVenomMage64 it was rated e because the e10 rating didnt exist so in kirby's 20th anniversary game they rated the game e10
KirbyVGCP The joke, my friend...
Then,planet robobot
Literally gave me goosebumps.
If Zero was to return, there will not be a 03 just. Zero Two SOUL because Dark Nebula is technically Zero Three, Hinse the name Dark Zero in japan. Guys, would you prefer Zero 3 or Zero Two SOUL?
Awesome Skittlez
I'd go with ZER0 S0UL, sounds better
Awesome Skittlez It's ridiculous, neither of them exists.
David Hogan :/
"Void Termina" is pretty much perfect. "Void" implies even less than Zero - where Zero is a number representing nothing Void is the *absence* of a number - while Termina establishes the finality of this form.
None. I love The Dark Matter Trilogy dearly but it's OVER. You can't keep milking the same threat/villain without it getting boring.
this is so awesome, i think im going to cry
I am at a loss of words right now. This is amassing.
this is the most amazing think i ever heard in my life!!! no, seriously, those words, those lyrics at the end, I can not think of a better way to describe the thoughts that come to my mind when I fight against zero two. Is the perfect description for zero two in majestic melodies! awesome! I can not think on right words to describe this magnificent masterpiece, hear it made me feel mix of feelings, specially the final part. almost cry -w-
This is amazing. You guys deserve more recognition - I've never heard anything like this before. Astounding.
those lyrics at the end...i almost cried...
And I'll suffer endlessly
this is why i have to be
alone in darkness
you denied my hapiness
and now i shall return the world
to zero
to nothing
cause if i cannot feel joy
then no one ever will.
AMAZING!
really like the lyrics at the end. They really sum up what 02's motivation was. Now I feel really sorry for him...
Beautifully eerie.
Hands down fantastic.
It's....it's just so AWESOME.....
This song gives me nostalgia, feels, and chills all at once. I love it.
I'm getting goosebumps.
Good goosebumps.
I want zero back in the final geme of kirby
This is the most amazing thing i have heard for a while, excelent work my friend
@mikewill9511 We have about 6-8 person per part, depending on the semester. As we are all in school, our ages range from about 18-24; our director is 22 years old. Thanks for your comment~
wow, way too awesome !
Holy crap I love this. Zero/Zero Two are one of my favorite characters in the Kirby series.
along with Marx.
HOLY COW THAT WAS AWESOME
I was WoNDERING where that choir came from ! Epic work !
as soon as i heard lyrics i wanted to bow down to the VERY well written lines, very deep.
awesome it sounds pretty sad and really beutifull
Good work loved it.
that lyrics 2:07....
And I'll suffer Endlessly
This is why I have to be alone
In darkness
You denied my happiness
And now I shall return the world to Z E R O
To N O T H I N G
'Cause If I cannot feel joy
No one ever W I L L
Damn. Once the singing kicked in I started crying.
Después de tanto tiempo se escucha lo hermoso que es este trabajo:')
I can't even handle this...it's so amazing
I am uncomfortable with this level of awesomeness.
ah i see, well this music actually inspired me to write a tragic villain trying to end his life, he's lost everything and becomes so powerful that he cannot die, forever to bear to emotional pain of losing those close to him and never being able to end, as such he plans to erase all of existence and take himself with it
Wow I did not know people like zero two!!
Amazing re-rendition of 0²'s theme. Definitely dark-toned for a game with a cute, pink hero, but still amazing as ever. :)
Wow...just WOW. The lyrics perfectly fit Zero 2. Bravo.
