We arranged this by ear, sorry no sheets!
Original song composed by Yoko Shimomura
Roxas: Nobody would miss me
Axel:Thats not true, I would
+Brandt Melhado and, with that sentence of brotherly love, the internet exploded with intense shipping fantasies of a thousand fan girls. wow.
+ACEnBEAKY I ship them so hard...
+Brandt Melhado I believe that quote is from KH 358/2 Days when Roxas leaves The Castle That Never Was. The feels...
+Jessica Blaies Nice to see another KH fan from another Gender, not saying that you're the first. My plan for the future is try to find a woman who loves the series too, lol we'd be the perfect couple..me and her, but that all depends if she plays at all as much as me. Heck I didn't even get to play KH1, or the full game of KH2. Got all of the other games though.
so many diolog feels!!
"Roxas : Nothing left for me to do, but...go away.
Sora : Are you gonna go back home ?
Roxas : I don't know if I really have one.. But, there's a place where I'd like to be.
Sora : Uh.. Where ? (....) A place to call home. An a sunset, that's comforting. My first and my last ...
Roxas :... summer vacation. "
ONI'films HNNNNGGGGHHHH
*crawls into river of tears and sea salt ice cream*
"What's your problem?! You both... think you can do whatever you want... Well, I'm sick of it... go on, you just keep runnin! But I'll always be there to bring you BACK!"
This character.. means so much to me. T^T
Aya Hatsuaru Axel is my all time favorite character. I love him so much.
***** XEHANORT (going to do dis w/ hope of Persona series characters being in KH3) *readies Evoker* MYRAID TRUTHS! :3 bye
***** axel is bad
Axel & Roxas. . . 😢
I notice all these people are typing up dialogue from the game but none seem to type up THE BEST DIALOGUE FROM 358 THAT THIS THEME WAS USED IN:
"Axel..."
"Xion...What're you gonna do?"
"I've decided....that I have to go back to where I belong."
"Well, to be honest, I always felt that was best right from the very beginning. But you know it still really bugs me... something about this just stinks!"
"It's for the good of everyone..."
'But how do you know that? Everybody thinks their right!"
"This is right."
"THEY'RE GONNA DESTROY YOU!!"
"Please don't hold back Axel, promise?"
"RGH WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?! You both, think you can do whatever you want. Well I'm sick of it. GO ON, YOU JUST KEEP RUNNING, BUT I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE TO BRING YOU BACK!"
this rlly make me cry, and the song :,(
you just had to pit thid in here didn't you ;_; now im feeling the feels!!!
ughhhh stop:','(
Heyyy, uhm. You? Yes you.
Just stop that you. My feels cannot take that.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! ;(
"I hardly know who I am! What is so wrong with wanting some answers?!"
;-;
Why you gotta bring the feels man 😢😢😢
ToObIg12345 Because the feels are what this song is made of. ;-;
+Nikie TurtleGoo "I want my life back!"
Kyuni Yatarasu Ryu
NO
IT'S NOT MY FAULT
IT'S NOMURA'S FAULT FOR CREATING THESE FEELS IN THE FIRST PLACE
looks like my summer vacation is... over.
I was sad at that part of the game, Idk why lol
MrApollos222 BECAUSE HIS LIFE IS ENDING OMFG
the subject of stars Not ending, he just rejoined with Sora. Roxas is still alive, no worries ^__^
z3link i know he's not actually dead but he
he doesn't technically exist anymore
even though the end of kingdom hearts ii tried to make it all touchy-feely
Oh my goodness, you almost made me cry with this comment
"I am me! Nobody else!" ~Roxas
"my heart belongs to me, No one else!"
+Ruru Shimba nobody else*
+Ruru Shimba "What are you talking about? I am me. Nobody else!"
WHY U ALLWAIS LION(look up why u allwais lying roxas)
Evil derp ssundee No, that channel is cancer.
+Enanoide Im glad someone realized, or they're not a true KH fan 😂 I did it on purpose m8, don't worry
"Looks like my summer vacation.... is over...."
Ironic how im watching this the very day that my summer vacation is over
Same
Just one more day for me 😔
+killerops117 me too :( So sad
+PrinceAliTheGreat Me too! My classes begin tomorrow...
PrinceAliTheGreat SAME
Can't believe it's been just over 10 years since this was posted. How time flies.
Still one of the best KH covers I've ever heard.
Roxas:Axel......
Axel: now you remember…well its to late
denis gonzalez T-T
denis gonzalez T-T
TT_TT
denis gonzalez O-O
denis gonzalez The line was You really do remember me this time, IM SO FLATTERED, BUT YOUR TOO LATE
Every single KINGDOM HEARTS game made me cry to death
I am surprised no one else comments on the new boss fight with Roxas. You know the part when you fighting him to the death and each bar of health he loses his theme gets LOUDER and LOUDER and LOUDER.
What I never got about Kingdom Hearts (love the franchise) is that for a game that could easily be a childrens game. It has quite a deep, complex and emotional story, deep game play and, damn, the music is really sad too.
That's what I respect about the series. It's appropriate for kids, but not necessarily FOR kids. I would argue that the older audience gets much more out of it than the kids playing it.
SoraIsMyHomeboy i completely agree. It's rare to find games that bridge age groups together; you just know its really good :D
*****
Well, I'm talking about aspects that even go beyond the gameplay/ability names. An 8-year-old will view "hearts taken by darkness" very differently than a young adult or even someone older. To most kids, the villains of the series are just bad guys that side with evil and the heroes have to stop them. As you get older and have more experiences with the world, you find a lot more meaning or have a different understanding of the themes in the game, such as darkness being in every heart and some people giving in to those dark urges. At least for me personally, I wouldn't have questioned who was really good and evil in that game as a kid. But there's a lot of gray area.
SoraIsMyHomeboy
Like me having so much symphaty for the 13, i felt so bad killing each... to some extent i wanted them to succeed, let them be whole again while feeeling a bit of a grudge with sora for not trying to learn more about them first, i get they were messing with him but still... dat saix and axel scene...
sassui90
Exactly. Most of the Organization wasn't even "bad guys."
Roxas was the first character who made me cry like a baby '_'
i know how u feel bro :,(
+Fabian Andre Glad you understand :'(
I think all kingdom hearts fan feel the same
I'm so happy you had remade this piece. It really proves how much this theme must have touched you personally on some level. I always loved how this song transgressed from cheery to horribly tragic. Thank you both for making such an emotional piece even more emotional.
this music is too perfect,you're right
I played it as a kid but as I played it again as much older I understood more and that's when I realized how dark it is I MISS XION!!!!!!
Roxas is one of the most tragic fictional characters ever. He get's not even a single break from being miserable.
1. Doesn't even know who he is and get's used by the organization.
2. Meets two friends: Kills both of them
3. Meets 3 new friends: It's the matrix
4. Remembers Axel.... after he killed him
5. Isn't even meant to exist in the first place.
Good thing he doesn'T have a heart. I don'T think a person could handle the feels...
That One Guy actually by the end of 358/2 he does have a heart but he was absorbed into sora at the beginning of kingdom hearts II so it nullified it which makes it even more sad ;-;
Kato Sovan Actually, he always had a heart, xehanort just lied to then.
Well, that's ridiculously hyperbolic. I can think of at least a dozen more tragic characters that have had it way worse.
But he's definitely the most tragic Kingdom Hearts character (though Aqua and Xion come at a close second and third).
I guess that's why we love him so much. :)
Not to mention his lack of screentime!!
Pluto has it ruff smh
"DiZ, he could feel Sora."
"Oh, he told you how he *felt* did he? Ridiculous. A nobody cannot feel anything."
"If he had met Sora, things might have been different."
danii manic meanwhile like a year later DiZ/Ansem the Wise has his hypothesis proven wrong when it's found out nobodies can create their own hearts over time.
But the truth is that Roxas actually could feel, he was making his own heart from his own experiences
Forgotten days, a fading memory....
Lost and no longer seeking one another......... Gyaaaaa! The feels man!
LOL Lizz lyrics :')
My favorite theme from my favorite franchise.
"Roxas, you're you. We're not the same. I wanted to tell you that. That you deserve as much as I do to be your own person."
Thank you very much! We met through YT actually. I live in the US and Lara is in Australia, so we just began working together online, and eventually we met up for the first time in person last summer when we were invited to play at E3 and then after that we decided to get together again for an album. I definitely consider Lara to be a great friend and it's so funny that it all just started from YT! I'm very grateful :)
Man i miss the old times...
"still got it memorized? The day we met when you got your new name. you and I sat right here and watched the sun set."
@@saiyanelite338 I bet you dunno why the sun sets red
Wait... I'm... crying?
Same here dude haha
"no one would miss me..."
Axel: "That is no true...I would"
not* (why did it take me 9 months to see that)
But axel would miss him, doesn't that still mean nobody would miss him?
Roxas: "I.. I dont feel so good Axel...
Axel I..I dont want to go please don't let me go Axel"
Axel sees Roxas turns to Ash screen fades to black and you can hear a slight cry from Axel
Looks like my summer vacation is...
Over...
IMPOSTER!
Wow, you actually made me cry with this, because by listening to it i was near to cry, and you pulled the tears out of my eyes... good job, you made Levi cry...
This makes me think deep and helps me let out stuff I can't hold back anymore with ease.. I am not gunna lie this makes me cry..
Every time I hear this song GAAAAAAAH DA FEELS MAN!!! DA FEELS!!! SO MANY FEELS!!!
I would say something, but the talent and music of these two ladies speaks volumes more than I ever could. Again both of you, well done.
The Key of Destiny.
roxas basically is proof that everyone has a reflection of themselves that they can awaken
Ventus: True
Terra: I guess so
Aqua: What are you saying?
"We're best friends right?" "Xion... who else will i have ice cream with?" "Why did the keyblade choose me? I have to know." Long live Roxas as the greatest video game character of all time
***** Read this. Ice cream shot out of my nose. Thanks for the torn nasal passage brah. I'll be sure to pay you a...uh...what do they call it... a beating. I'll be sure to pay you a beating. -loads up kh-
But Master, I thought Terra was the greatest tool for your plans?
Don't worry, Terra. I'LL SAVE YOU YET!
That's so cool to hear, thank you for sharing that with me :) Please tell her I wish her the best!
Forgotten but not lost. AWESOME
Sora... You're lucky... Looks like my summer vacation is.. Over.
Thanks! I do know of that song, it's really awesome :) Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for the nice comments!
I appreciate how soft and delicate this is it pulls my heart strings to see a lot of dedication
this brings me to tears every single time i hear this.. the feels, man ! ROXAS WE LOVE YOU !!
What a beautiful piece of music taylor
this song make me feel sad every time
Two of my favourite artists together again and playing THIS song. Thank you so much for all your work, it's incredible. Never stop playing!!
I love, love, love that you included a little of the Final Mix version of his theme ;A; this gave me chills. Awesome job, ladies!
I love this theme! Sounds great
Personally Kingdom Hearts both the first and second were the only ever games to make me cry. Like literally my childhood... .-.
Roxas is Mah hero mang
Kingdom Hearts I and II weren't really that sad for me. From what I've played, which is all the games except Dream Drop Distance (I'm working on it), 358/2 days was the only sad one. Sure, the others had sad parts, but none of them really had that sad an ending. Except for 358/2 days. That was just depressing.
Sazzandora11 Same here, I mean, he had to kill his BEST FRIEND FOR GODS SAKE! That is some heavy stuff. Then he goes on a rampage and ends up foghting Riku who kept pissing him off, beats Riku, then Riku goes Ansem just to take Roxas down. Xion dying made my young pre teen mind cry. It messed me up.
The graphics and the intro for KHII made me cry.......
Sazzandora11 It's not really the sadness of the game that brings tears to the eyes. It's more the beauty of it. If ever I cry during this game or while listening to its music, there's usually a smile accompanying the tears.
It's so beautiful I'm nearly crying.
All this memories will come to my mind again just by listening to this song. Thank you for this masterpiece!
This was just ......beautiful you two played this wonderfully.
Beautiful.
This is beautiful! Roxas is my favourite character!
The feeling you get listening to this is hard to describe.
This is what great music sounds like.
Fantastic!! Has too be my most favorite kingdom hearts song and you did it beautifully. The feels are real for that whole story.
You should totally do Xion's theme.
"my summer vacation is over. you are lucky sora". roxas said. This theme music played. I'm very sad. (sniff3x)..
Thanks you for everything you do, Taylor. I really appreciate it. Lara, you do an awesome performance as well.
This was the very first video that brought me to you, and it still gets to me. Its so beautiful. I can feel Roxas' sadness through your music.
"You make a good other" :')
My heart hurts.......... God damn it this is the best cover...
I adore every collaboration theses two talented ladies put out. Wonderful work ladies another brilliant and moving piece.
Came back after so many years. Simply beautiful.
I love your KH covers. Please keep doing them. They are truly awesome! :D
Oh hello there
Andrew Jiang what r u doing here. Do I know you? :P
i miss xion, roxas, and axel
plz don't ;-;
+Sara Manfredi That's cruel.
Whos the first one?
They'll be back
an expiriment made by a member or organization 13with a bit of sora best memories (being dat of Kairi)
I love the amount of passion you put in to playing the violin. The piano was fantastic Lara. Great Performance!
the piano side is particularly amazing!!! i love the crescendo, it's so powerful and emotional it makes me choke up 😭😭😭😍😍
Roxas... *sniff* Ice-cream *sniff* SEA SALT! *cries*
"Xion! Who else will i have ice cream with?" I was pretty much crying before he said that and then I was like, your best friend is dying in your arms and you are complaining about ice cream! I think you should rethink your priorities
Rayhan Hamid I think you to rethink your priorities;because ice cream is pretty damn tasty:)
Rayhan Hamid This is still soooo sad. Because poor poor innocent Roxas learned that beeing friends means eating ice-cream together. So the thing ist he wants so say "who else will i be friends with?" Even if he doesnt really know what a ´friend´ is he wants one
I love this song. so do my nephews. put them to sleep when they heard it
YOU KILLED THEM :DDDDDYEEESSSS
Thank toys o much for adding this video to your UA-cam!! It is my favorite piece from kingdom hearts and I love listening to you guys playing it!!! Good job!!
Taylor and Lara, I can't begin to explain how much your music moves me! You put so much feeling into your playing! I am learning violin too and you guys are my inspiration!
Xion. Who else will I have ice cream with!
Right in the fucking feels.
You two did a wonderful job with this music! I've been listened to your duets and always liked them. But this one, it's just fantastic!
Wow, chills when the piano kicked in at the beginning and again when the violin returned. Awesome!
49 dislikes 49 heartless
I miss when Axel and Roxas would hang out up on the tower :C
I just have no words... This is so beautiful...
Absolutely amazing! This theme fits so well with Roxas' story... it's so sad, yet beautiful
"You say you except it"... "Its not a game!"... "Its way past time you learned what real hurt feels like!"
Wait wrong theme oh ok fine then...
Those lines will forever give me chills. Such an amazing delivery.
Hell when I started playing the Kingdom Hearts series I was like 5. I couldn't wait until school was over so I can play the game with my sister. Roxas' syory is probably the saddist in the game. Other from Terra's. Roxas needs a break.
Keep playing great music like this and we will keep supporting you... Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to product music along with great videos.
A duet that played well to a truly heart wrenching song.
Damn..... Right in the fcking childhood
we are one and the same
I started watching your videos ten years ago. I was in the military back then and this was one of my favorites. I love your newer stuff. But you're a sound and how you drew out the notes back then. It's something I look back and see that your technique has changed so much. but the music you did 10 years ago brought out so much beauty in a simpler way that i enjoy the most. I've watched your videos for the last 10 years. And you're such a baby in this video! I was 23 10 years ago. Time flies.
It popped up as I was listening to your halo theme so definitely brought me through memory lane!
Now, how can be everyone quoting the same dialogues from game, but no one said how amazingly these girls interpreted this nostalgically emotive song?
I love what you girls do on UA-cam, specially the kingdom Hearts covers
[Depression intensifies]
"This could have been...the other way around."
So now I know what video to use when I need to cry a lot. This music is amazing and it is so well played, I loved
Probably one of Taylor Davis and Lara's best performances ! Congrats !
Da feels man da feels ;-;
am I the only one who feels like crying when I hear this song.
Especially since when you fight Roxas in 2.5 this song is playing and when I beat him I feel like a terrible person!
+Chad Younce Don't feel bad. Roxas and Namine are still alive within Kairi and Sora.
Now Xion...that's another story.
+Francesco Salvia YOU MONSTER
umbreonandespeon Haha.
KH358/2 Days was such a downer for me. Xion just gets forgotten, that's beyond sad.
But also because it makes you realize that the Org isn't pure evil. Luxord's pretty nice to Roxas, as is Demyx.
They see Sora as Roxas in KH2. So when Luxord goes: "Roxas...how could you..." in KH2 I thought it was sad, but when I replayed KH2 after playing KH358/2 Days I felt heartbroken. Poor sods just want their hearts back.
Francesco Salvia It kinda made me question who the bad guy really was. Of course, just because they wanted to become human doesn't make them good. I mean, look at the homunculus from Full Metal Alchemist...
Your songs always make me teary-eyed.
too beautiful. ..the feels....the feels overwhelmeth me
"You make a great other"
Roxas
1:10 A KAWAII PIANO. *-*
It said kawai not kawaii
I know, is just for the joke.
Everytime someone close dies I go back to this song and think about them. It's the 4th this year that I'm here. At least 2 times it was way too early to be here for them...
I come back to this video from time to time, just to relax or when I'm lonely. It is so beautiful...
Those who dislike has no heart
They are heartless
heh see what I did there?
or they have a different opinion.
End my suffering*whoosh* There goes the joke! Over your head!
Kairi1416 I didn't miss it, it was just too shitty for me to care.
End my suffering Your profile picture does not fit your negativity.
Am I the only one that thinks Taylor looks like Yuna from Final Fantasy
my favorite violin and piano duo does it again as wonderful as always
Please always be yourself. You have so much light!!! No need for anything else.
Simple is best. You always steal the show when you are original.
