Yeah. I still very distinctly remember the getting it in my mailbox finally. I was so hyped, shoved the game into my PS2 and Dearly Beloved started playing and I just started crying.
YES OMG! I got the PS4 theme after beating KH1 Final Mix and it has the menu sounds on it. Sometimes I just sit in my ps menu just pressing random buttons to hear the sounds again lmao!
Reminds me of my brother, who was an absolutely huge fan of this game. I used to watch him play it all the time and I'd always stick around for the music in the game. I miss ya, man.
*“Losing someone you care about is bad, but not as bad as never getting them back.”* - Sora to Aladdin Kingdom Hearts: Chain Of Memories I just thought it was important. Never give up on people that are important to you.
“They can take your world, They can take your heart, cut you loose from all you know. But if it’s your fate, then every step forward will always be a step closer to home.” -Sora I’m ready to *Face* *my* *Fears, Don’t* *Think* Twice.
The only word I can think to describe Dearly Beloved is just Bittersweet.. Something or someone has made you so happy yet.. there's a feeling of emptiness. A feeling that snakes its way into your soul and ensnares your heart.
Qaiser Latif you've just figured out the riddle of how to describe the dark side of Dearly Beloved. It has such a sad vibe to it that I can't explain... Thanks for your explanation. And I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees this song like that.
I see it as the other way round... The music seems somewhat mournful/nostalgic, but when it loops round and the accompaniments are added in, it sounds like hope for the future (especially thinking of the ending of KH 1 when (SPOILERS) The trio are walking along an empty road just after the worlds are restored (and Kairi is left all alone on Destiny Islands) and Donald or Goofy (can't remember which) asks, 'So what are we gonna do now?', and Sora's like, 'It's obvious - we're going to find Riku and King Mickey.' And the camera pans up and the massive fields and long winding road spread out into the distance... You get the gist of it
i use to leave my 3Ds open at night with my headphones on and just listen to this. but now i have a phone so i use it now. poor 3ds got me through my teenage years now just sits on my desk.
Pirate_ Princess9 You’re lucky that you still HAVE your 3DS. I don’t even own my original DS anymore. It helped me get through so much during my elementary school days. :(
M Rosé I was just about to comment something similar. I got my 3DS stolen, and damn I miss it so much. This was like 4 years ago but still. I had a lot of old pictures of my dog on there, and along with so many games and data. I'll never get that back :(
A story of a boy who ventures to worlds never seen before, A story of the same boy who loses his memories, A story of two people, one without friends, another without the people before the adventure, A story of a trio in which it turns tragic, A story where an unbreakable bond lives throughout the past, A story where the past is digital, A story where dreams and xiii happens, A story where everyone is on the adventure, A story where a woman ventures through a broken world, a story where the melodies are memories, And now... a story where everyone is back. This is kingdom hearts.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days is the same usual song but now with the instruments that use to be in the background this time being on the foreground and vice versa. This is pure genius from the composer as this particular game tells the story of Roxas which is the other side of Sora's heart
Also, chain of memories and 358/2 take place around the same time. Coincidentally, the extra part of dearly beloved was added after kh1. Which is when roxas and namine are born. Maybe the extra part represents roxas being half of sora. Like how the theme felt somewhat empty in the beginning. I dunno. Just food for thought.
Does anyone ever feel like they are standing over at a cliffs edge, where you see every creation as a beautiful thing to your eyes? Feeling like you saved something that was precious to you, the wind blowing your hair in one direction?
I see, sorry for a depressing image here, the ruins of all I have, and what I will make, knowing that I will be yet another forgotten memory. prideful of my designs, but still having that desolate feel.
My attempt at trying to capture the feeling of each rendition (excluding reprises and extras) 0:01 KH1: A child with a lot of potential playing beginner level piano 3:33 KHCoM: A pretty melody shared between friends(Namine REALLY shows here) 5:55 KH2: A magnificent beast slowly waking from its slumber. This whole song sounds like a huge, beautiful, and amazingly satisfying stretch in the morning. 12:51 KH358/2: Romance. The harp, the flute, the strings...it IS Romance. All in the traditional sense. It literally is *the* aubade alluded to by the actual Aubade keyblade. (Aubade: a morning love song or poem of lovers separating at dawn) 18:38 KHCoded: You're witnessing a bright, but only golden yellow sunrise within a white, empty expanse. Just white. Very pure 21:36 KHBBS: A grand lullaby meant to lull you to sleep. The sun has gone and the sky is already twinkling with stars 28:32 KH3D: I know it's different from BBS but it gives off pretty much the exact same feeling. Just with a tad more hope? 34:51 KH1.5: You're walking into an abandoned KH Library. There are dusty books strewn about with a ray of glowing light illuminating the scattered pages, waiting for you to explore them. 37:03 KH2.5/2.8: You've literally just walked into Yoko Shimomura's studio. She's experimenting around with the melody alone in the late afternoon. 39:32 KHX: It's a very slow, but very warm sunrise. All in a small child's POV. They wake up and get ready to rush out the door to play with their friends 42:28 KHX Backcover: A chamber orchestra just got together for a KH jam session. It's like a fusion of BBS and KH2's style but less grand. Just more somber (For those of you who want to know, my favorites are Days and KH2. Coded comes close)
"Thinking of you, wherever you are. We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend. Now I will step forward to realize this wish. And who knows: starting a new journey may not be so hard, or maybe it has already begun. There are many worlds, but they share the same sky - one sky, one destiny." *cue orchestral theme inb4 kh2*
+Daijon Banks My first KH game was Dream Drop Distance. We don't have a PS anything at my house so I'll settle for the DS versions. But when KHlll comes out, I will buy that game because It'll be for Xbox One which I have and for PlayStation as well.
+Quinn Houk I'm in the same boat as you, my first game was Dream Drop Distance, but ever since I got a hold on Kingdom Hearts I've delved too deep into the story to the point where I need to see and play KH3. I might just get the 1.5+2.5 remix for the ps4 though, as it will probably take a very long time till KH3's release.
Edit: This is something that I made when I was more childish. But it seems more people are still commenting on my poem. And surprisingly, I need to make clear to the person who says “it’s pretty sad that you learned all this from a game and not your parents,” as well as the person who says “it’s just a game,” that this poem is talking about more than just a game. Kingdom Hearts is not a real place here on Earth, every single one of us understand that clearly. So our “Kingdom Hearts” come from somewhere else. While the game may be magical to many, it’s not where we learn what our lives or, or where they’ll take us. Our “Kingdom” is our special place or person that made us feel truly special. For me, my Kingdom Hearts is my family. They taught me to laugh, to cry, to stand tall and strong, to keep going when everything is holding me down, and revealed to me what’s beyond the door of possibilities. I wouldn’t be here if not for them. They are my family and my kingdom. So that’s what it’s about. Not some game. But the life we live(d) throughout, and what our kingdom means to us. My family and my friends are my everything. You taught me to face my fears. You taught me to resist the darkness. You taught me to fight for those you love. You taught me to fight for all I believe in. You taught me that a smile can go a long way. You taught me that memories were worth making. You taught me that one can be freed from the dark. You taught me to never give up, even when all seems down. You taught me to stand back up again. You taught me to love and protect with everything I have. You taught me love, life, truth, joy, and most importantly, heart. You taught me... A kingdom of unity, hidden but open to all. From which a warrior was born, so that darkness would fall. A key, which holds the secret to peace and liberty. You taught me to be all of who I can be. No power can overcome what is made in the hearts of friends. Let thy power flow true, until darkness may meet their ends. A heart, many hearts revealed before a door, Revealing what life is, that memories shall be made more. United by our spirits, we now play our parts, May you stand and be with us evermore, Kingdom Hearts.
I cried reading this, I'm going through a hard time with life right now and this made me feel like I wasn't alone. Like other people are here with me, going through the same thing, stuck in this darkness, trying to find light that we felt was too far away. When really, we had it all along: we had it in our hearts and let this darkness take over. But no more will I be lost in darkness, because I'm surrounded by light. Pure light, the light of Kingdom Hearts. "May your heart be your guiding key." - Master Yen Sid
KH2's version is really nostalgic but every time it gets to the BBS version and that violin starts playing, it just reminds me of the bbs secret ending where they all say sora. This boy will save everyone, man kh3 can't come soon enough
Oh my god! I just feel exactly the same, dude! 😭 THAT cutscene... Gosh, everytime I listen to this version, it always reminds me the "blank points" secret ending too. And aqua crying saying: Sora! 😭😭😭
When I saw the menu screen of KH2 for the first time and Dearly Beloved started playing I realized that this game would be one of the best things in my life
Never played Kingdom Hearts, but this Soundtrack is amazing. Yoko Shimomura is a great talent. Such a beautiful song, literally makes me cry. But not for sadness, it just pulls so many different memories out of my mind, can't even describe what i feel. Thank you for that!
@@yandelromero06 idk i enjoyed every game for its own reason (i did not like the card system of chain of memories, but still a good game nonetheless) maybe its just my own opinion but I think if your going to play a longer series like Kingdom Hearts or other series such as Dark Souls you should at least try to play each game as they all offer something, even if its not similar to the rest
Whenever I get stressed, mad, confused or sad, I just listen to this song. It calms me. don't let negativity get to you, spread your wings and fly to the light.
Chain of Memories may be one of the crumby sounding ones but Chain of Memories is by far my favorite. It was the the first time I realized that Kingdom Hearts wasn't just some game series but a story filled with sadness and the sacrifices others make for their friends and family. The ending of the game destroyed my emotions. The nostalgia I felt listening to it was very strong lol.
I always feel sad when i think about the past of my childhood... Makes me sad and happy at the same time... Because i didn't do much in my childhood.. i did have fun, but... i wanted to be a singer but didn't, because i would feel sad if i ever left home and be far far away from my family and friends that i have grown up with...and i didn't do the things i wanted and should've done, like, make new friends because of my shyness and i'm not much of a conversationalist, and i've had seizures since i was a baby... Now i'm an adult that can't work because i still have the seizures...... My life isn't great at all, but that doesn't stop me from having a smile on my face.
I love this. mostly because this song makes me feel at peace with the world. ridding my mind of pain, stress, and sadness. And leaving only peace, love, and happiness knowing there are songs like this that will never be replaced nor forgotten. take a minute to recognize that there is still good in this world, and forget all of the bad things. by listening to this.
I never really was all that into KH as a kid, bit my friend and his brother were Huge fans. I'd always spend the night at his house and we'd watch his brother play all sorts of games. Kingdom hearts, Zelda, etc. So many nights we'd watch him play and fall asleep, only for me to wake up at a random hour to hear this song playing on the menu, and they were all out cold. I miss those days, back when things were simpler, and less stressful. I know that's how life is for literally everyone, but fuck man. Something can't be right if everyone out here coming to this video to talk about how much they miss those days and hate being older. I really think things could have been so much better for all of us, if only I knew what went wrong. I'd do anything to have all those friends back in one place, I'd do anything to have those nights and those sleepovers again. I miss all that. I can never go back but I'll always want to. Stay strong guys, maybe one day, we won't feel like that anymore. Maybe you'll find your peace one day, and this song will simply serve as a happy memory, instead of a painful reminder.
Brother, keep going. Brother, theres always hope. Going through an adventurw right now. Am a kid, pls know u CAN be better, times will get better, please.

I’ve already said this many times but yeah I hope for everyone who deserves it that they get their bright future. I personally believe in reincarnation and that the soul is immortal and people have lived one hundred lives before this one and will live hundreds after but that doesn’t mean you should take a life for granted because it’s the most important thing you’ll get, after that you decide how to live it.
Ya know what's really ironic? Getting his friends back and going back home to the good ol' days is why Sora fights in Kingdom Hearts. That and to right the world from all the lost and weary hearts. You really should give the games a try, you'd be pleasantly surprised. At first even I didn't like the idea of it. I mean, c'mon, Disney Square Enix?! lol wot..? Or so I thought at the time. Have to say I'm glad I didn't let that ruin the fact that eventually I gave in and damn glad I did too!
@@TaiMizuki Can totally relate, I had the same reaction when I first heard about KH... but my best friend was like "no, it's really good, you should play it!" so I went to his house every now and again and we played it together (well, I played and he watched, but I'm sure he'd done it himself at some point), and by the end of the game I was nearly in tears... fast-forward 20 years and it's still one of my favourite series, played every single title (even Union X and Dark Road) and can't wait for more! *Q* Also still in touch with the friend, although we haven't seen each other in years - but that will change this year!!!
A distant dream, that's like a far off memory. Millions of hearts connected. A million hearts, one sky. Brought together by one story. Together, we waded through thr darkness towards the light. Fought through armies of Heartless, hordes of Nobodies, and legions of Unversed. We laughed, we cried. We were victiourious, we suffered from bitter defeat. We won everything just to lose it all in the end. Nothing is forever. Nothing is permanent. So, tonight, we salute. To Sora. The hero no one expected. To Kairi. Sora's guide through the darkness. To Riku. The one who straddles the line between darkness and light in his heart.
One of the aspects I love about KH2's the most is how they managed to sort of *imply* the waves that you can actually hear in KH1's version. Like KH2's does not actually use a sample of waves crashing against a shore. It just sounds like it. Insane.
I love how the 358/2days version tells you that, no, they won't go to the beach; that it's not their story, not their place, not their chance; they don't belong there, they don't belong anywhere. They live in a slow expectation, and there lies their happiness. They are nostalgic from a future they kind of know will never happen. It's a particular feeling, that I've never found in any other game, and this is why this game is a masterpiece. Even in litterature, I can only think of Buzzati's The Tartar Steppe, but it would lack the profound innocence of the caracters.
Tendre Verveine It's also the only rendition where the initial melody isn't the piano. Instead, it is the flute, which I think compliments the characters' innocence, and makes the trio's end result all the more tragic.
This song will forever remind me of my teenage years. Many friends, all come and gone, a few loves that were not meant to be, questioning my future and sense of self, learning who I truly was and accepting that I wasnt like the others, only to find those who truly mattered to me and I cherished. Though some memories are bittersweet and full of longing, that only makes me grow more fond of them. Ours is a long journey fraught with pain and peril, but even in the toughest times, we find small bits of joy that outweigh the bad. Stay strong, fellow bearers, for the day will come when the light of dawn rises and we will never again know sorrow or anguish.
Strange how most of us were introduced to this game by our brothers, and in some way or another they're gone. I hate yet love this game, love it for the amazing memories I had because of it, and hate it for the same memories it makes me re-live.........
I... This comment did it for me I- How did you know? Things have changed so much between my brother and I since I remember watching him play kingdom hearts as a kid. He's a totally different person now from what I remember
I was noticing that too, It is really is strange...my brother is only four years older than me, and the concept of multiple saved files made it really easy for brothers to play the game. I remember always handing the controller over when I got stuck and frustrated. The only boss neither he or me could beat was sephiroth in the coliseum, I don't remember which game it was I have only gotten to play KH1, KH2, chain of memories and watched 358/2 days on. I have promised myself to get all of them when I can and play through the entire story :p
I've been having these weird thoughts latley. Like is any of this real? Or not? KH has always been there for me when nobody else has. Every time I hear delays beloved I cant help myself to hold back my tears. I remember me coming home with bloody, muddy torn cloths with huge gashes in my arms and legs and big bruises and missing teeth and a black eye because I was always ganged up on and had the ever living shit beat out if me every day I came home from school. My "Dad" if you can even call him that would hit me every time I came home late, brought in a leaf, or just about anything. He also did the same to my mum, but she was a drug addict. I would always be in constant physical pain and mental pain aswell. I have schzfrinna still to this day along with major depression and ADD. I would always be crying or being hit all the time no matter what. Yet with all of that going on to me I always had my best friends, Sora, Donald, goofy, namie, roxas, Karie, Micky, Riku, aqwa, ventures, and many more. Kingdom hearts has always been there for me when noone else has and it will always be my bestest friend forever. I will never forget the theme ever. I will never forget my friends on KH. I will never forget what KH has thought me. Much love to all of thee and I wish you all that you find your way in the darkness. I hope you find your KINGDOM HEARTS. Whatever it maybe, I wish you the best of luck on your journey. ❤💙💚💛🧡💜🖤
@@cameronshepherd2229 I just read your comment; I couldn't stop sobbing because of the melody and your comment. Please, moving forward, I may not know how much you're going through. I'm also going through depression; I don't see myself living that long; I think I have a couple of days or weeks or maybe a few months. I want you to have a great life.
God I've listened through this entire video so many times and it's crazy to think about how it's basically all the same song. Dearly Beloved is probably one of the best musical pieces ever. The original was already amazing and beautiful but the fact that it can be made into so many distinctly different versions and still hold the basic melody is incredible. You can listen to it on repeat without ever getting tired as well. Yoko Shimura deserves so much praise for this. Dearly Beloved is just a one of a kind song that I don't think can ever be replicated. It's just beautiful.
Kingdom Hearts was released the same year I was born, I'm glad to be playing this series while growing up with it. Playing as a little kid had me enjoying all the adventures, and as I got older I went back and played them again to get a better feel for the story because I was a kid at the time between KH1 and KH2 and had to remember everything and I cried for not realizing how good a story KH has, of course I was really little, and I'm glad for that so I can experience this story over and over again. May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key
14 years have passed and I still cry every time I listen to this song. I was still in junior high school at that time and playing Kingdom Hearts II. This opening song really makes me nostalgic, bringing back my childhood. And now I am an adult and will get married. Thank you for bringing this song! I really appreciate it.
The first one gets me everytime! I guess it's the nostalgia of being the first and the sounds of the ocean is too good, brings me back to when this was the first and only kingdom hearts around at the time and beating as a kid...good memories
I use to just leave the title screen on and listen until i fell asleep. The music from all the kingdom hearts games brings me back to a time when life was easier & simple even though i didnt realize it at the time. Thinking back on those days i cant help but smile. I miss being young and dumb we all grow up and life hurts us. We go through a lot, but I keep this song as a reminder that life is beautiful. I'll find my dearly beloved one day God willing ❤️
The feeling when i hear the KH2 dearly beloved theme... I want to cry and smile at the same time... I have goosebumps every time i hear it... It's, it's... Augh! Amazing... See you playing KH3 guys :)
@@tiffanyp5507 every Version is a hell of a emotional rollercoster and gives me the chill but yeah kh2 ver gives me goosebumps First second i hear it *_*
In my opinion, the first ever version, Kingdom Hearts 1, was the best of them all. It was the most basic, which made it so endearing, and the resemblance to a beating heart just topped it off. It symbolized how it resonates within you and stays in your heart forever. Some proof of that is I hadn't had anything to do with any KH games for about 8 or so years, since I was about 9 ish. In that time, at that age, you'd expect me to forget every single thing about all of the games. But out of nowhere, I heard about 2 seconds of Dearly Beloved from KH 1 in a video here on UA-cam, and I immediately recognized it and felt incredibly nostalgic. Since then, I have made the effort to find my copies of 1 and 2 for my PS2, and I've been replaying the games again. DB on KH 1 gets me every single time I hear it, so it's the best ever version of it if you ask me.
KH makes Dearly Beloved nostalgic. KHBbS makes it sound powerful. KH3D/HD makes it feel like a leap. KHII sounds peaceful. Basically all of the versions sound unique but feel familiar.
I now remember why I didn't listen to Dearly Beloved so often when I was younger.. It's so beautiful and addicting that whenever I *DO* listen to it, I end up listening to it for hours on end and I don't want to stop, ever. Thank you Kingdom Hearts for being a huge part of my childhood.
When I first beat KH2 I don’t even know how long I sat there, staring at the screen, the gentle sound of the PS2 under my TV complimenting the sound of the piano. I don’t know if I heard waves, if my memory was failing me, or if my breathing was just that heavy after such a satisfying ending, especially that shot of Kairi’s charm held between her and Sora’s hands.
358/2 Days, the variant of Dearly Beloved is painful and heartbreaking after playing the game or even watching the HD cinematic version. All of these games are sad, but 358/2 days is guy wrenching, heart breaking,and emotionally destructive and it may hold that title; I fear though that Kingdom Hearts 3 will not be kind, I don't predict a happy ending for all our beloved characters. It's supposed to be the end of the Trinity story, the end of Sora, Donald, and Goofy's adventures. Be kind to us Disney and Square-Enix, don't hurt us to badly.
KH2 hugs you out of the rest, as if its saying its watching you grow as it plays next to you, a childhood friend that passed but yet still watches over you, a memory that hugs you when times get dark, saying things will be alright, it will all get better, KH2 dearly beloved hits harder to me because my mother loved it so much, now all i can do is listen to it and smile and think of her, and the wonderful times we've spent together.
Dude I was born in 2000, but I according to my mom I would sit in her lap and watch her play kingdom hearts because it was the "Disney game." Been a fan since I was still pooping myself apparently.
this piece is so lovely, every version i find myself having different feelings and relating them with experiences. Over the years, I have never really forgotten this song.
The feelings still creep back with the hits of the piano and the flow of the strings. I am at peace to have experienced all of this, and proud to realize that I am not alone. Thank you for everything, every one of you.
Right now I feel very useless, sad and depressed. I wish I could go back to the times where I was young and I used to play some of these beautiful games 😞. The music make me reflect in the time, my mistakes, the trajectory of my life. It's almost unbelievable how just music can reach deep in your thoughts and makes you reflect in life, I just can't describe it. This is how good and incredible is this piece. Sometimes I feel like I don't want to live anymore and just disappear, life is very hard and full of problems. But then, I remember these games (Roxas and Xion) and I remember that everybody deserve to exist even I feel I shouldn't. Thank you to Nomura and all the creators of Dearly Beloved and KH's music. Truly a masterpiece, pure art. And kingdom hearts series are one of the best ever, it is very special for me. Now and forever
Yoko Shimomura: Here, give these a listen. Us: Huh, all of these are virtually the same though... But we like it. Yoko Shimomura: Glad you liked them. Us: So who is it? Yoko Shimomura: Who is who? Us: You know, the character who has this theme. The Dearly Beloved. Yoko Shimomura: *Smiles and kisses our forehead* You all are. Us: *Shed a trickle of tears*
A bit cheesy. XD But sweet. :) Then again, that's the whole series I suppose, especially with Sora and Kairi. ^^; I remember a long time ago when someone pointed out the K and the S in the title are getting longer and longer and almost connecting. :O
This video is 3 years old, yet I'm seeing people's comments from just a few weeks ago...I dearly be loved that this tune keeps people coming back just for a menu theme born from a classic ps2 game and genuinely makes people tear up at the sound of that beautiful piano and melodic cadence of the rhythm. God Bless Square Enix and Disney for this once in a lifetime collaborative effort that's brought so much joy to people's lives.
I came back from time to time to hear this marvels of music pieces, just to flow and relax, remember the good and the bad, the joy and the sorrow, melancholly in it's finest. Also, time has passed and there are a couple more of Dearly Beloved we could enjoy in this single video. You can group all of Unchained X, X Back Cover and Union X in one part, the Kingdom Hearts III version and the one other variant used in a cutscene (that also sounds in the PS4 System Theme that you get for Pre Ordering ReMind) and finally, Melody of Memories. So much diversity, just from one song. And all of those, are Dearly Beloved by all of us.
34:51 KH1.5 literally feels like you’re dancing on an empty stage in a dark theatre with a single spotlight on you as you twirl across the floor and leap into the air. Breathtaking
Sorry, I was kind of vague in my comment. I meant I personally didn't have any nostalgia for this song cause I never really played any of the Kingdom hearts games. I do like this song a lot though. :)
There's no denying every version is good, there's no denying that some versions are better than others, but KH 2 version has that melancholy, that peace, that sadness you cannot find anywhere else.

if you lose them how is it not as bad as never getting them back thats basically losing them ??????????
@@aidrianwashington6307 Temporary vs Permanent
As bad as never having someone who really doesn't exist in real life. (A person you love who is just a drawing)
Yea... That's what losing them mean....
“They can take your world,
They can take your heart,
cut you loose from all you know.
But if it’s your fate,
then every step forward will always be a step closer to home.”

The only word I can think to describe Dearly Beloved is just Bittersweet.. Something or someone has made you so happy yet.. there's a feeling of emptiness. A feeling that snakes its way into your soul and ensnares your heart.
Qaiser Latif you've just figured out the riddle of how to describe the dark side of Dearly Beloved. It has such a sad vibe to it that I can't explain... Thanks for your explanation. And I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees this song like that.
I see it as the other way round... The music seems somewhat mournful/nostalgic, but when it loops round and the accompaniments are added in, it sounds like hope for the future (especially thinking of the ending of KH 1 when (SPOILERS)
The trio are walking along an empty road just after the worlds are restored (and Kairi is left all alone on Destiny Islands) and Donald or Goofy (can't remember which) asks, 'So what are we gonna do now?', and Sora's like, 'It's obvious - we're going to find Riku and King Mickey.' And the camera pans up and the massive fields and long winding road spread out into the distance... You get the gist of it
its the bittersweet feeling of being separated from someone you love dearly for a time but knowing you will see them again someday

Basically like Sora and Kairi at first right? :)
I suppose this can be an alternate theme of Kairi's then...

A story of a boy who ventures to worlds never seen before,
A story of the same boy who loses his memories,
A story of two people, one without friends, another without the people before the adventure,
A story of a trio in which it turns tragic,
A story where an unbreakable bond lives throughout the past,
A story where the past is digital,
A story where dreams and xiii happens,
A story where everyone is on the adventure,
A story where a woman ventures through a broken world,
a story where the melodies are memories,
And now... a story where everyone is back.
This is kingdom hearts.
A story where this seems like a good place to find some ingredients
Soon, A story about a time that was forgotten.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days is the same usual song but now with the instruments that use to be in the background this time being on the foreground and vice versa.
This is pure genius from the composer as this particular game tells the story of Roxas which is the other side of Sora's heart
Magnificent they are smarter than Einstein
Thanks for pointing this out
GENIUS
Also, chain of memories and 358/2 take place around the same time. Coincidentally, the extra part of dearly beloved was added after kh1. Which is when roxas and namine are born. Maybe the extra part represents roxas being half of sora. Like how the theme felt somewhat empty in the beginning. I dunno. Just food for thought.

@@haksu7079 Do u like jazz?
My attempt at trying to capture the feeling of each rendition (excluding reprises and extras)
0:01 KH1: A child with a lot of potential playing beginner level piano
3:33 KHCoM: A pretty melody shared between friends(Namine REALLY shows here)
5:55 KH2: A magnificent beast slowly waking from its slumber. This whole song sounds like a huge, beautiful, and amazingly satisfying stretch in the morning.
12:51 KH358/2: Romance. The harp, the flute, the strings...it IS Romance. All in the traditional sense. It literally is *the* aubade alluded to by the actual Aubade keyblade. (Aubade: a morning love song or poem of lovers separating at dawn)
18:38 KHCoded: You're witnessing a bright, but only golden yellow sunrise within a white, empty expanse. Just white. Very pure
21:36 KHBBS: A grand lullaby meant to lull you to sleep. The sun has gone and the sky is already twinkling with stars
28:32 KH3D: I know it's different from BBS but it gives off pretty much the exact same feeling. Just with a tad more hope?
34:51 KH1.5: You're walking into an abandoned KH Library. There are dusty books strewn about with a ray of glowing light illuminating the scattered pages, waiting for you to explore them.
37:03 KH2.5/2.8: You've literally just walked into Yoko Shimomura's studio. She's experimenting around with the melody alone in the late afternoon.
39:32 KHX: It's a very slow, but very warm sunrise. All in a small child's POV. They wake up and get ready to rush out the door to play with their friends
42:28 KHX Backcover: A chamber orchestra just got together for a KH jam session. It's like a fusion of BBS and KH2's style but less grand. Just more somber

Unchained X was the most fun song for me.
+Daijon Banks My first KH game was Dream Drop Distance. We don't have a PS anything at my house so I'll settle for the DS versions. But when KHlll comes out, I will buy that game because It'll be for Xbox One which I have and for PlayStation as well.
Quinn Houk I gotta tell ya, I recently started to play KH1 again yesterday, and all I can say is that this game is worth the money spent on systems
Daijon Banks that was my favorite game until i lost it and i was so maddd i put my life into that😂
+Quinn Houk I'm in the same boat as you, my first game was Dream Drop Distance, but ever since I got a hold on Kingdom Hearts I've delved too deep into the story to the point where I need to see and play KH3. I might just get the 1.5+2.5 remix for the ps4 though, as it will probably take a very long time till KH3's release.
This makes me feel serene. Peaceful. Like the storm is over... loved... like everything is okay.

Edit: This is something that I made when I was more childish. But it seems more people are still commenting on my poem. And surprisingly, I need to make clear to the person who says “it’s pretty sad that you learned all this from a game and not your parents,” as well as the person who says “it’s just a game,” that this poem is talking about more than just a game.
Kingdom Hearts is not a real place here on Earth, every single one of us understand that clearly. So our “Kingdom Hearts” come from somewhere else. While the game may be magical to many, it’s not where we learn what our lives or, or where they’ll take us. Our “Kingdom” is our special place or person that made us feel truly special.
For me, my Kingdom Hearts is my family. They taught me to laugh, to cry, to stand tall and strong, to keep going when everything is holding me down, and revealed to me what’s beyond the door of possibilities. I wouldn’t be here if not for them. They are my family and my kingdom.
So that’s what it’s about. Not some game. But the life we live(d) throughout, and what our kingdom means to us. My family and my friends are my everything.
You taught me to face my fears.
You taught me to resist the darkness.
You taught me to fight for those you love.
You taught me to fight for all I believe in.
You taught me that a smile can go a long way.
You taught me that memories were worth making.
You taught me that one can be freed from the dark.
You taught me to never give up, even when all seems down.
You taught me to stand back up again.
You taught me to love and protect with everything I have.
You taught me love, life, truth, joy, and most importantly, heart.
You taught me... A kingdom of unity, hidden but open to all.
From which a warrior was born, so that darkness would fall.
A key, which holds the secret to peace and liberty.
You taught me to be all of who I can be.
No power can overcome what is made in the hearts of friends.
Let thy power flow true, until darkness may meet their ends.
A heart, many hearts revealed before a door,
Revealing what life is, that memories shall be made more.
United by our spirits, we now play our parts,
May you stand and be with us evermore, Kingdom Hearts.
I cried reading this, I'm going through a hard time with life right now and this made me feel like I wasn't alone. Like other people are here with me, going through the same thing, stuck in this darkness, trying to find light that we felt was too far away. When really, we had it all along: we had it in our hearts and let this darkness take over. But no more will I be lost in darkness, because I'm surrounded by light. Pure light, the light of Kingdom Hearts.

Chain of Memories may be one of the crumby sounding ones but Chain of Memories is by far my favorite. It was the the first time I realized that Kingdom Hearts wasn't just some game series but a story filled with sadness and the sacrifices others make for their friends and family. The ending of the game destroyed my emotions. The nostalgia I felt listening to it was very strong lol.
I always feel sad when i think about the past of my childhood... Makes me sad and happy at the same time...
Because i didn't do much in my childhood.. i did have fun, but... i wanted to be a singer but didn't, because i would feel sad if i ever left home and be far far away from my family and friends that i have grown up with...and i didn't do the things i wanted and should've done, like, make new friends because of my shyness and i'm not much of a conversationalist, and i've had seizures since i was a baby... Now i'm an adult that can't work because i still have the seizures...... My life isn't great at all, but that doesn't stop me from having a smile on my face.
gotta agree... the game was awesome but they kinda butchered it in that one :p

What about the time you'll need to grab your phone, get on youtube, and play it.
I never really was all that into KH as a kid, bit my friend and his brother were Huge fans. I'd always spend the night at his house and we'd watch his brother play all sorts of games. Kingdom hearts, Zelda, etc. So many nights we'd watch him play and fall asleep, only for me to wake up at a random hour to hear this song playing on the menu, and they were all out cold. I miss those days, back when things were simpler, and less stressful. I know that's how life is for literally everyone, but fuck man. Something can't be right if everyone out here coming to this video to talk about how much they miss those days and hate being older. I really think things could have been so much better for all of us, if only I knew what went wrong. I'd do anything to have all those friends back in one place, I'd do anything to have those nights and those sleepovers again. I miss all that. I can never go back but I'll always want to. Stay strong guys, maybe one day, we won't feel like that anymore. Maybe you'll find your peace one day, and this song will simply serve as a happy memory, instead of a painful reminder.

I’ve already said this many times but yeah I hope for everyone who deserves it that they get their bright future. I personally believe in reincarnation and that the soul is immortal and people have lived one hundred lives before this one and will live hundreds after but that doesn’t mean you should take a life for granted because it’s the most important thing you’ll get, after that you decide how to live it.
Ya know what's really ironic? Getting his friends back and going back home to the good ol' days is why Sora fights in Kingdom Hearts. That and to right the world from all the lost and weary hearts. You really should give the games a try, you'd be pleasantly surprised. At first even I didn't like the idea of it. I mean, c'mon, Disney Square Enix?! lol wot..? Or so I thought at the time. Have to say I'm glad I didn't let that ruin the fact that eventually I gave in and damn glad I did too!
@@TaiMizuki Can totally relate, I had the same reaction when I first heard about KH... but my best friend was like "no, it's really good, you should play it!" so I went to his house every now and again and we played it together (well, I played and he watched, but I'm sure he'd done it himself at some point), and by the end of the game I was nearly in tears... fast-forward 20 years and it's still one of my favourite series, played every single title (even Union X and Dark Road) and can't wait for more! *Q* Also still in touch with the friend, although we haven't seen each other in years - but that will change this year!!!

A distant dream, that's like a far off memory. Millions of hearts connected. A million hearts, one sky. Brought together by one story. Together, we waded through thr darkness towards the light. Fought through armies of Heartless, hordes of Nobodies, and legions of Unversed. We laughed, we cried. We were victiourious, we suffered from bitter defeat. We won everything just to lose it all in the end. Nothing is forever. Nothing is permanent. So, tonight, we salute.
To Sora. The hero no one expected.
To Kairi. Sora's guide through the darkness.
To Riku. The one who straddles the line between darkness and light in his heart.
And to every other Keyblade Wielder or Guardian of Light, that supported these main characters, and us, on our journeys

God, the feels hit you like a damn train when the violin part kicks in at KH 2’s dearly beloved
One of the aspects I love about KH2's the most is how they managed to sort of *imply* the waves that you can actually hear in KH1's version. Like KH2's does not actually use a sample of waves crashing against a shore. It just sounds like it. Insane.
This is funeral and wedding quality music at the same time! I just want to stand on the beach on a windy and look pensive when I hear this song.
A wedding is just an untethered funeral.
I love how the 358/2days version tells you that, no, they won't go to the beach; that it's not their story, not their place, not their chance; they don't belong there, they don't belong anywhere. They live in a slow expectation, and there lies their happiness. They are nostalgic from a future they kind of know will never happen. It's a particular feeling, that I've never found in any other game, and this is why this game is a masterpiece. Even in litterature, I can only think of Buzzati's The Tartar Steppe, but it would lack the profound innocence of the caracters.
Tendre Verveine I downvoted
well... I guess I'm not even mad
Tendre Verveine It's also the only rendition where the initial melody isn't the piano. Instead, it is the flute, which I think compliments the characters' innocence, and makes the trio's end result all the more tragic.

A very sad game indeed.
This song will forever remind me of my teenage years. Many friends, all come and gone, a few loves that were not meant to be, questioning my future and sense of self, learning who I truly was and accepting that I wasnt like the others, only to find those who truly mattered to me and I cherished. Though some memories are bittersweet and full of longing, that only makes me grow more fond of them. Ours is a long journey fraught with pain and peril, but even in the toughest times, we find small bits of joy that outweigh the bad. Stay strong, fellow bearers, for the day will come when the light of dawn rises and we will never again know sorrow or anguish.

Like is any of this real?
Or not?
KH has always been there for me when nobody else has. Every time I hear delays beloved I cant help myself to hold back my tears. I remember me coming home with bloody, muddy torn cloths with huge gashes in my arms and legs and big bruises and missing teeth and a black eye because I was always ganged up on and had the ever living shit beat out if me every day I came home from school. My "Dad" if you can even call him that would hit me every time I came home late, brought in a leaf, or just about anything. He also did the same to my mum, but she was a drug addict. I would always be in constant physical pain and mental pain aswell. I have schzfrinna still to this day along with major depression and ADD. I would always be crying or being hit all the time no matter what. Yet with all of that going on to me I always had my best friends, Sora, Donald, goofy, namie, roxas, Karie, Micky, Riku, aqwa, ventures, and many more. Kingdom hearts has always been there for me when noone else has and it will always be my bestest friend forever. I will never forget the theme ever. I will never forget my friends on KH. I will never forget what KH has thought me. Much love to all of thee and I wish you all that you find your way in the darkness. I hope you find your KINGDOM HEARTS. Whatever it maybe, I wish you the best of luck on your journey. ❤💙💚💛🧡💜🖤
@@cameronshepherd2229 I just read your comment; I couldn't stop sobbing because of the melody and your comment. Please, moving forward, I may not know how much you're going through. I'm also going through depression; I don't see myself living that long; I think I have a couple of days or weeks or maybe a few months. I want you to have a great life.
@@kingdomheartsfanelijaxwill5004 I want you to have a great life, so I hope you’re still with us
I have this on a t-shirt with soras silhouette stood by it.
It’s amazing how they took a simple melody and turned it into eleven pieces that all sound familiar, yet so different...

God I've listened through this entire video so many times and it's crazy to think about how it's basically all the same song. Dearly Beloved is probably one of the best musical pieces ever. The original was already amazing and beautiful but the fact that it can be made into so many distinctly different versions and still hold the basic melody is incredible. You can listen to it on repeat without ever getting tired as well. Yoko Shimura deserves so much praise for this. Dearly Beloved is just a one of a kind song that I don't think can ever be replicated. It's just beautiful.
Kingdom Hearts was released the same year I was born, I'm glad to be playing this series while growing up with it.
Playing as a little kid had me enjoying all the adventures, and as I got older I went back and played them again to get a better feel for the story because I was a kid at the time between KH1 and KH2 and had to remember everything and I cried for not realizing how good a story KH has, of course I was really little, and I'm glad for that so I can experience this story over and over again.
May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key
14 years have passed and I still cry every time I listen to this song. I was still in junior high school at that time and playing Kingdom Hearts II. This opening song really makes me nostalgic, bringing back my childhood. And now I am an adult and will get married. Thank you for bringing this song! I really appreciate it.
When you get married be those new Wife and Husbands who put dearly beloved for their weddings walk theme
The first one gets me everytime! I guess it's the nostalgia of being the first and the sounds of the ocean is too good, brings me back to when this was the first and only kingdom hearts around at the time and beating as a kid...good memories
who is the first version?
Kingdom hearts is trully...
Dearly Beloved :)
You got me there :)
👍
I use to just leave the title screen on and listen until i fell asleep. The music from all the kingdom hearts games brings me back to a time when life was easier & simple even though i didnt realize it at the time. Thinking back on those days i cant help but smile. I miss being young and dumb we all grow up and life hurts us. We go through a lot, but I keep this song as a reminder that life is beautiful. I'll find my dearly beloved one day God willing ❤️
The feeling when i hear the KH2 dearly beloved theme... I want to cry and smile at the same time... I have goosebumps every time i hear it... It's, it's... Augh! Amazing... See you playing KH3 guys :)
Same, but it for almost every single one
@@tiffanyp5507 every Version is a hell of a emotional rollercoster and gives me the chill but yeah kh2 ver gives me goosebumps First second i hear it *_*
Finally is time to add KH3 Dearly Beloved version.
Most beautiful title themes ever. That violin in 358 days just hits different 🧡
Or the violin in Birth by sleep. I feel it's the one voice saying all of the 3 characters's sadness. It's really sad, BBS's ending...
@@brofistbro yea truly a tragic ending
In my opinion, the first ever version, Kingdom Hearts 1, was the best of them all. It was the most basic, which made it so endearing, and the resemblance to a beating heart just topped it off. It symbolized how it resonates within you and stays in your heart forever.
Some proof of that is I hadn't had anything to do with any KH games for about 8 or so years, since I was about 9 ish. In that time, at that age, you'd expect me to forget every single thing about all of the games. But out of nowhere, I heard about 2 seconds of Dearly Beloved from KH 1 in a video here on UA-cam, and I immediately recognized it and felt incredibly nostalgic. Since then, I have made the effort to find my copies of 1 and 2 for my PS2, and I've been replaying the games again. DB on KH 1 gets me every single time I hear it, so it's the best ever version of it if you ask me.
KH makes Dearly Beloved nostalgic.
KHBbS makes it sound powerful.
KH3D/HD makes it feel like a leap.
KHII sounds peaceful.
Basically all of the versions sound unique but feel familiar.
I now remember why I didn't listen to Dearly Beloved so often when I was younger..
It's so beautiful and addicting that whenever I *DO* listen to it, I end up listening to it for hours on end and I don't want to stop, ever. Thank you Kingdom Hearts for being a huge part of my childhood.
I really feel like DDD's version is the best, it feels so melancholic for most of it before suddenly becoming happy. really feels good
When I first beat KH2 I don’t even know how long I sat there, staring at the screen, the gentle sound of the PS2 under my TV complimenting the sound of the piano. I don’t know if I heard waves, if my memory was failing me, or if my breathing was just that heavy after such a satisfying ending, especially that shot of Kairi’s charm held between her and Sora’s hands.
You know, up until I started listing the dearly beloved songs, I hadn't realized how beautiful the songs are
358/2 Days, the variant of Dearly Beloved is painful and heartbreaking after playing the game or even watching the HD cinematic version. All of these games are sad, but 358/2 days is guy wrenching, heart breaking,and emotionally destructive and it may hold that title; I fear though that Kingdom Hearts 3 will not be kind, I don't predict a happy ending for all our beloved characters. It's supposed to be the end of the Trinity story, the end of Sora, Donald, and Goofy's adventures. Be kind to us Disney and Square-Enix, don't hurt us to badly.
It hurted
KH2 hugs you out of the rest, as if its saying its watching you grow as it plays next to you, a childhood friend that passed but yet still watches over you, a memory that hugs you when times get dark, saying things will be alright, it will all get better, KH2 dearly beloved hits harder to me because my mother loved it so much, now all i can do is listen to it and smile and think of her, and the wonderful times we've spent together.
Ambience in music is a severely underrated concept
Those crashing waves add something an instrument never could
90s babies just meet up in these comments to reminisce and I am so here for it. This series has made me who I am today
I was born in 1997 I'm so glad I grew up playing Kingdom hearts in 2002.
Dude I was born in 2000, but I according to my mom I would sit in her lap and watch her play kingdom hearts because it was the "Disney game." Been a fan since I was still pooping myself apparently.
this piece is so lovely, every version i find myself having different feelings and relating them with experiences. Over the years, I have never really forgotten this song.
ua-cam.com/video/9Uz_oiskWKQ/v-deo.html
The feelings still creep back with the hits of the piano and the flow of the strings. I am at peace to have experienced all of this, and proud to realize that I am not alone. Thank you for everything, every one of you.
The flute in 358/2 is just immaculate…
I been playing this recently. Never best it when I was younger so I gotta finish it.
thank you so much this helped me a lot more than you can even imagine, thanks!
Right now I feel very useless, sad and depressed. I wish I could go back to the times where I was young and I used to play some of these beautiful games 😞. The music make me reflect in the time, my mistakes, the trajectory of my life. It's almost unbelievable how just music can reach deep in your thoughts and makes you reflect in life, I just can't describe it. This is how good and incredible is this piece. Sometimes I feel like I don't want to live anymore and just disappear, life is very hard and full of problems. But then, I remember these games (Roxas and Xion) and I remember that everybody deserve to exist even I feel I shouldn't. Thank you to Nomura and all the creators of Dearly Beloved and KH's music. Truly a masterpiece, pure art. And kingdom hearts series are one of the best ever, it is very special for me. Now and forever
Yoko Shimomura: Here, give these a listen.
Us: Huh, all of these are virtually the same though... But we like it.
Yoko Shimomura: Glad you liked them.
Us: So who is it?
Yoko Shimomura: Who is who?
Us: You know, the character who has this theme. The Dearly Beloved.
Yoko Shimomura: *Smiles and kisses our forehead* You all are.
Us: *Shed a trickle of tears*
This comment, with the song, honestly made me start bawling. Thank you.
A bit cheesy. XD But sweet. :)
Then again, that's the whole series I suppose, especially with Sora and Kairi. ^^;
I remember a long time ago when someone pointed out the K and the S in the title are getting longer and longer and almost connecting. :O
MIRAAAA! Why would you say that?? These songs already make me emotional and now I'm sobbing.
I goddamn hate you for make me crying while listening to the song(s) and waiting for my KH3 copy to arrive
What gives you the *right* I'm gonna cry
This video is 3 years old, yet I'm seeing people's comments from just a few weeks ago...I dearly be loved that this tune keeps people coming back just for a menu theme born from a classic ps2 game and genuinely makes people tear up at the sound of that beautiful piano and melodic cadence of the rhythm. God Bless Square Enix and Disney for this once in a lifetime collaborative effort that's brought so much joy to people's lives.
I came back from time to time to hear this marvels of music pieces, just to flow and relax, remember the good and the bad, the joy and the sorrow, melancholly in it's finest.
Also, time has passed and there are a couple more of Dearly Beloved we could enjoy in this single video. You can group all of Unchained X, X Back Cover and Union X in one part, the Kingdom Hearts III version and the one other variant used in a cutscene (that also sounds in the PS4 System Theme that you get for Pre Ordering ReMind) and finally, Melody of Memories. So much diversity, just from one song. And all of those, are Dearly Beloved by all of us.

This is still the best video game soundtrack in history. It just sounds orchestrally beautiful
Kh ost sound angelic
Sora: Kairi! Remember what you said before?
I'm always with you too i'll come back to you I promise!
Kairi: I know you will!
♪When you walk away... ♪
🎵Please, Oh baby don't go, simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight🎵
I couldn't help but find that moment kind of cheesy lol

Begins to cry
Here after the last Sakurai Reveals? Cry with me
日本語のコメがなくて悲しいけどある意味嬉しい
わかるよそれw
分かる気がするw
分かります❗️
いや英語のコメが多いのは動画のタイトルが英語やからやぞ＾＾
真アカ ^^
Wedding: KH2 version
Funeral: BbS version
34:51 KH1.5 literally feels like you’re dancing on an empty stage in a dark theatre with a single spotlight on you as you twirl across the floor and leap into the air. Breathtaking
THESE ANNOTATIONS ARE LITERALLY THE BEST
what where the annotations? they don't exist now
You did a awesome job man!!! Very good editing!!! Also songs don't stretch out for too long.
The KH1 and KH2 versions always make me cry. These games were my childhood, I love them so much.
Everyone's talking about the wonderful music but this video is really well made too!
+1 if you got nostalgia and goosebumps from this!
No nostalgia but goosebumps and tears. I am so happy that I can still cry to a sad song. :)
For me its nostalgia cause i have played only two games kh 1 and 2 cause no money :/ and i could only see the other games from let's plays
Sorry, I was kind of vague in my comment. I meant I personally didn't have any nostalgia for this song cause I never really played any of the Kingdom hearts games. I do like this song a lot though. :)
No problem man xD its no big deal no need to be sorry you didn't say anything wrong i just said my story for this games
Hey guys listen to the dearly beloved 2.8 reprise I have on my channel:) sub if you enjoyed!
初代の後ろで流れてる波の音がすき。最初の島の風景が浮かんできてグッとくる。
ただ1番やりこんだのKH2だからこのゆっくりさが心地いい。
There's no denying every version is good, there's no denying that some versions are better than others, but KH 2 version has that melancholy, that peace, that sadness you cannot find anywhere else.
This is beyond wonderful, I love how much nostalgia this game gives me
KH2's version will always be my favorite 😭
y
22 days from today, I will finally get to know this series.
Well, unless it gets delayed.
I hope to God not. I'm dying to play them
Soddarkryder Are you talking about 1.5 and 2.5 on the ps4?
Soddarkryder hope you've enjoyed it! wish I could erase my memories and replay them all
Joshua Doss Same
Soddarkryder lol it did
