Thank you all SO much for your comments. They've been emotional, insight...ful, and just amazing in general. I think it's awesome how just this one song can convey so many feelings. Keep enjoying the song & posting, I'd love for as many people as possible to hear this gorgeous piece of music.
About five or six years ago, this story is very related to this song and to my dear memories I had with this game. Me and my friend were addicted to Kingdom Hearts. We played kingdom hearts 1 and started playing the second game. I remember starting the second one even before finishing the first from so much hype. Later in our life we found out about the final mix version. We wanted it so so so bad. We discovered how to put japanese games to work but we needed some money. So we arrenged something: we would put all our gains from christmas towards buying a copy of both the game and the cd necessary to run jap games on the ps2. I remember we planned ahead about sharing the game, each week one would get to play. I remember after weeks of waiting and pressure from our parents for spending money on the internet my friend got the two things on the same day on his house. He called me INSTANTLY. This next part happened all through the phone. He started the call with a simple "dude it's here. The two CDs are here man" We acreamed like teo little girls without a fucking care in the world. He put the CD for running jap games, and then the KH2 FM copy. It started running, he was almost screaming and I was asking "whats happening whats on screen whats happening now??" I heard the sound of when a game starts running and those blue boxes would zoom in on screen. "Wait a bit its loading" he said as nervously as I. "It's not reading. It says it's from a wrong region" We started discussing how we spent our money on trash that didn't work. We were really dissapointed. He rebooted and tried the whole process again. Nothing. Again. Nothing. We were cursing basically every word we knew. 2 hours later he calls me again and says: "After all this Im not quiting. I am going to retry this damn thing just this once." He redid all the process. It took very long to load this time. "It froze my ps2 now. Wow. I am so fucking sad" And as he said that, i could just guess he wasn't looking at his screen on that moment. This music starts playing. And I could hear it through the phone. "Is it...?" I started asking when he interrupted me: "Oh my fucking god can you hear it??!?" And we screamed together to one another through the phone "ITS WORKING ITS WORKING FUCK YEAH ITS WORKING" I remember crying lile a baby from excitement. Two 12 year olds crying over the phone. This song accompanies this dear memory of mine and i can just hopenit will never die out. Kingdom Hearts is a game that will forever be alive in my deepest sweetest gaming memories. Congratulations Square. Good job Disney. To anyone who read through all this, thank you ;)
Hidden Flame Aww :) I really enjoyed this story. I wish I had a friend who would play with me... didn't matter if it was a girl or a boy... but still, I wish I had friends like you in my childhood. I would play alone. It was still fun, but I guess that with a friend it would be more fun. :(
You know thinking back to when Kingdom Hearts 2 first came out as a kid I loved the game to death. I played it constantly and always thought the music was just really pretty. Listening to it now as 2.8 Remix is coming out mades me extremely upset because I sadly realize that my childhood came to a close a long time ago. I'm preparing to finish my second semester of college and the responsibility is on its roll. It makes me appreciate what I was given but that still doesn't stop the want and yearning for one's childhood to never be over and to continue forever. Dearly Beloved is just gorgeous in every sense and it makes me super sad each and every time I listen to it. Kingdom Hearts will always be in my heart and I'm so glad to have experienced this through this game.
Ahhh the golden ps2 error I loved you and still do. Childhood may be over but nostalgia can come back and make it seem as yesterday is present again lol...
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? Maybe starting a new journey won't be so bad. Or maybe it's already begun. There are many worlds, but they all share the same sky. One sky, one destiny.
when I'm listening to this beautiful music I always remember my childhood friend, Lee Jay Albero we we're more than friends when we we're already teenagers but one day my relative told me that he had an new girl in his arms after hearing that kind of news I pretend happy all the time when I'm talking to him but no,Im always suffering in crying .Lee jay I still love you no matter what :') take care of your new girl friend :) your childhood friend,Mitch
This song is.... utterly amazing and beautiful. I played it for my girlfriend, on my acoustic guitar, the night of her surgery to calm her down. she was in tears she was so moved.
I walked down the aisle to this at my beach wedding. It made everyone cry. My grandma got me into the Kingdom Hearts games (she plays) and when i told her I was using this song she giggled and said she completely approved. No one in the wedding other than my friends, my grandma, my brother and my husband knew it was from a video game. It was perfect.
There's so much sadness in this song, yet it still sounds hopeful. While listening to it, my heart breaks, and then is bandaged and lifted back up. It is most definitely one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
When I hear this, it reminds me of the friends I once had that shared the same love for Kingdom Hearts as I did....now we're far apart....but never forgotten.
this song makes my eyes water when i listen to it. . .not only does it hold special memories and times but its a beautiful song. it stops and makes me think about life and the things that have made me smile.
This song makes me enjoy life. Love, breathing, happiness, this song brings about all of those amazing thoughts to my head. I truly appreciate it for that.
I was listening to my ipod when I moved away from the place I lived in for 10 years. I still keep in touch with my friends but we don't see each other. Now I have new friends. And I listen to this when I want to remember.
Back when I was 12 I listened to this song everyday too remember my father He died when i was 12 This song made me remember all the good times I've had with him You can feel the sorrow and the happyness mixed within this song when listening to it, it makes you feel like your in a deep sorrow and your being released itno a Joy I love this song. Rip dad 10/25/08
this is just beautiful. No other words can describe it. I broke out into tears when my cousin passed away and we played this at her funeral. thats right HER funeral. she loved this song and asked us that if she was to die, we'd play this at her funeral. I'm proud to call myself part of a kingdom hearts cousin and family.
mine too..there's time where you wish everything was just right..the way you dream of having the perfect life no trouble and this song had made all of us cry thinking back to those hard times..b/c im on your side too
Yoko Shimomura is such a very talented Japanese video game composer, this music is so peaceful, calm, relaxing, nice, soothing and beautiful that I would love for a beautiful young girl to hug me and twirl around slowly with me while this music is playing in order to control my anger and frustration. ^_^
I had a great chilhood. No regrets spending my time playing all FF series, KH, Dragon Quest and all other RPG. Sad that newer game just unable to give the same feeling the same hype the same experience whle playing this old game even with poor graphic & animation if we compare to newer games. The music of all the series really went well with the playthrough, scenes and character. Makes me just wanna go back to those time.
opine the same.... the world slowly changes, the games were used to make us love them through our feelings, now they are made to love them at first-eye with their graphics, and simple generic features, that most of people wants. The charisma slowly being lost ~
wow........just wow. This is perhaps one the most sublime pieces of music I have ever heard from a game. It calms me in ways few other pieces of music have ever done inspiring the feelings of joy, sadness and companionship that resonate through the series. Thanks for sharing this.
I love how this one simple song can make over 300,000 people feel the same emotions and connect so well... I've always wanted someone to share this beautiful feeling of nostalgia amd
It's really cool how this game can bring back memories. The Kingdom Hearts games are the best games I have ever played. I remember just sitting in my room playing this game all night.
My brother... I haven't heard this song in so long, I just cracked. He abandoned me, and this song brought on a flashback. This really does reflect my loss.
This song fills my heart with so much wonder and joy. Whenever I feel overwhelmed by all of the bad things in my life, I listen to this and no matter how bad I feel, it always makes me smile. Thank You Kingdom Hearts... Thank You Yoko Shimomaru...
At school, I was always in the same class with the same people for years. Now that same class have split up, and we were all sad about it. But I remember all the laughs and fun we had. I miss that class. I remember when I left on the last day I played this music. It really shows you, that you can have so many memories of something and you think it will last forever. But it won't.
It's like yesterday...I listen to this song...and it fills my heart with horrible memories...the memories of...being pushed or treated like crap...those days when I had no friends and I felt so alone...this song is like a lulliby that makes me fall asleep every night...and those nights seem like days as the same dream plays over and over again each night...
This song also lifts spirits, whenever anyone feels down you can listen to this song. It as a great means of importance, this song, it makes me feel like I can do anything and succed. ^^ Five stars for sure.
KH brought me and my brother closer when our oldest brother went to (chase some ass all the way across the U.S) Conetticut and we went through a really hard time. So my brother dragged me to his room every night, literally, and popped in the game, and I always forgot about our problems as he helped me learn to play. Thanks for uploading this video and to whomever created this game. This is one memory that won't ever be scattered and lost.
Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy have the best music in them, every track is so breathtaking and makes you think about life, and for me personally the songs open up a new world for me, a world with no issues. A masterpeice!
this entire video game series is something i hold very dear to me, the emotions the music, the characters and the plot in these games are just beyond words the music in KH and shadow of the colossus are my favourite
sometimes when i was younger i just beat the game then go to sleep with this playing. i miss life back then where you could play video games after school every day no worries in the world
Kingdom Hearts used to be my kingdom. I played it for hours in my young times. I remember crying at the end of the story, feeling sad all night. I remember the times looking forward after the school grabbing the controller and putting on my playstation 2. This was my escape to my reality. It used to be. Now, I live in reality, if I could just escape back. If you read this, think about it, miss your childhood, it's the thing that resides deep within each one of you all, and it wants to come back.
This is my favorite version out of all of the dearly beloved renditions! its just so, pure and innocent and gears you up for playing the most epic game ever!!!
This... it's the only song to ever bring me to tears. I loved the game and I loved the soundtrack. This song has a magical, majestic quality to it that just makes this song sound beautiful.
There's such a sense of wonder and adventure you get from Dearly Beloved and there's such an overpowering sense of victory and fulfillment from Reprise.
Simply put, because I can't ignore the fact that it has some beautiful music. It's like this: When I listen to Hikari ad Dearly Beloved, I can feel that there's a beautiful world behind the music, but there are too many things about that world that I don't really appreciate, so I have no connection to the music. BUT, I still appreciate the fact that it is still one of those songs that tells a story that has touched people all over the world.
The dearly beloved reprise at the end of Kingdom Hearts 2 was an amazing moment when i first played it. I remember holding the controller in my hands and staring at the words 'The End' on the screen and feeling amazed that i had connected with this game over many months. And i felt so sad knowing it was all over. I feel like Kairi looking out on the horizon waiting...waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3!
This was the song that I walked down the aisle to and the reprise was our unity sand vase music! Still takes my breath away and makes me remember that fairytale moment.
No true beauty exists. Every beauty is different. Our view on such a thing is defined by ourselves, our views, our emotions, our memories, our opinions.
Kingdom Hearts is a game that takes you through a Rite of Passage -- into a place where you face your childhood and you accept the change to grow up. Your story is just as important because no voice is insignificant. The game and the music have touched the hearts of many and I'm glad to read such kind words.
I moved to texxas for a year, and i lost all my friends. When i came back, i saw them all.......and this theme popped into my head.......i finally found them all......i was so happy.......
My life has been pretty crappy lately, and I've been super depressed and for some reason this made it all just pour out of my eyes. I needed that big time, thanks for uploading.
When i first played KH with my guyfriend he learned how to play this song on the piano and played it for me on my birthday. but 2 months later he got very sick and died. now i always listen to this song to remind me of all the fun times we had.
I can barely stand to hear this. It's a beautiful piece, and the version from Kingdom Hearts II is my favorite. It's simply so...depressing. This is all the proof you need that a song doesn't need lyrics to make you cry. Excellent. All of the music is wonderful. I remember when I first heard this when I was about six, and I immediately burst into tears. This is also the whole reason I am going to take piano lessons.
Every time I popped the disc into the PS2, I always hesitated to push 'start' simply because I wanted to just sit and listen to this. The theme makes me feel almost as if this was the final game in the series, and after I finished playing, I'd just be left with beautiful memories of an epic adventure gone by. Story of my life.
this song caused a pivotal moment in my life....it made me want to feel what it is to be human...and to love as well as my love and want to play the piano.
I remember the ending screen to Kingdom hearts 2 i felt sad i don't know why. I would just sit there what seemed like forever just listening to this...
Man I listen to this song, and think of how beautiful life is, or how its going to be. I'm so sure of myself when I listen to this. It is so beautiful. Yoko Shimomura did a lovely work of art with this song.
Thank you all SO much for your comments. They've been emotional, insight...ful, and just amazing in general. I think it's awesome how just this one song can convey so many feelings. Keep enjoying the song & posting, I'd love for as many people as possible to hear this gorgeous piece of music.

Awesome Story!!! Really awesome, that's epic!
porn profile pic is gay change it now
IF it wasn't for this song, or most music in kingdom hearts, I wouldn't love it nearly as much.
Me too
Kingdom Hearts music was the only music I listened to since it was the only Cd i hade..."Kingdom Hearts soundtrack"
this reprise is one of the most beautiful melodies i've ever heard it gives me hope and makes me feel in peace
Sora: It's just, they really need me.
I have to go.
I am who I am because of them.
Nice quote, I see what you did there. LOL :3

I think it’s been 4 years but I hope you are doing ok and living a healthy life wherever you might be 👍
Who else cried watching this? I did.
Most KH songs will get you to that point
Me ;_;
summer young me
Ugh my childhood in 7 minutes
Ahhh the golden ps2 error I loved you and still do. Childhood may be over but nostalgia can come back and make it seem as yesterday is present again lol...
This song will always be my favorite version of Dearly Beloved. It's so soothing
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?
Maybe starting a new journey won't be so bad. Or maybe it's already begun.
There are many worlds, but they all share the same sky.
One sky, one destiny.
I felt this
when I'm listening to this beautiful music I always remember my childhood friend, Lee Jay Albero we we're more than friends when we we're already teenagers but one day my relative told me that he had an new girl in his arms after hearing that kind of news I pretend happy all the time when I'm talking to him but no,Im always suffering in crying .Lee jay I still love you no matter what :') take care of your new girl friend :)

Having the music of your favorite games play throughout your room is just so lovely..
Absolutely beautiful. Something about thia haunting exquisite melody touches my very soul.
When I hear this, it reminds me of the friends I once had that shared the same love for Kingdom Hearts as I did....now we're far apart....but never forgotten.
this song makes my eyes water when i listen to it. . .not only does it hold special memories and times but its a beautiful song. it stops and makes me think about life and the things that have made me smile.
Each time I come back to this, I'm always on the verge of crying. It's just so lovely.
This song makes me enjoy life. Love, breathing, happiness, this song brings about all of those amazing thoughts to my head. I truly appreciate it for that.

This song is so softly moving, I listened to it while meditating.
I wonder where everyone is who’s commented on this from years ago. Hopefully somewhere good. Lord knows there’s enough bad
It's so cool to listen to his while it's snowing outside your house.
A beautiful melody to a beautiful scene truly makes a wonder.
cant stop listening...
Real
Never played a minute of a Kingdom Hearts game, but after this I'm already looking to get wherever I can find it!!
I had a great chilhood. No regrets spending my time playing all FF series, KH, Dragon Quest and all other RPG. Sad that newer game just unable to give the same feeling the same hype the same experience whle playing this old game even with poor graphic & animation if we compare to newer games.

opine the same.... the world slowly changes, the games were used to make us love them through our feelings, now they are made to love them at first-eye with their graphics, and simple generic features, that most of people wants.
The charisma slowly being lost ~
Just goes to show, you don't need words to express yourself musically. You can hear passion from just a single instrument when done right.
This song brings back so much memories. It makes me want to cry.
wow........just wow. This is perhaps one the most sublime pieces of music I have ever heard from a game. It calms me in ways few other pieces of music have ever done inspiring the feelings of joy, sadness and companionship that resonate through the series.
Thanks for sharing this.
I love how this one simple song can make over 300,000 people feel the same emotions and connect so well... I've always wanted someone to share this beautiful feeling of nostalgia amd
the music of the song is how emotions feel, and sound..most touching music ive ever heard when i played kingdom hearts 2.. You gotta love the music
It's really cool how this game can bring back memories. The Kingdom Hearts games are the best games I have ever played. I remember just sitting in my room playing this game all night.
Just amazing.. that's all I have to say.
Cant describe how I feel but it is so powerful.
So beautiful and a great piece of music
This song is never tired to hear. I listen to it all the time before and after the game.
this kind of music makes me feel really calm.
now, whenever i get frustrated or angry, i can listen to this and calm down
this song reminds me that there is always hope and love in the world and that is something that cannot be taken away
My brother... I haven't heard this song in so long, I just cracked. He abandoned me, and this song brought on a flashback. This really does reflect my loss.
i absolutely love this song... it makes me cry every time i hear it...
That was beautiful...sniff.... and so true. I want my childhood back.
This song fills my heart with so much wonder and joy. Whenever I feel overwhelmed by all of the bad things in my life, I listen to this and no matter how bad I feel, it always makes me smile. Thank You Kingdom Hearts... Thank You Yoko Shimomaru...
At school, I was always in the same class with the same people for years. Now that same class have split up, and we were all sad about it. But I remember all the laughs and fun we had.

It's like yesterday...I listen to this song...and it fills my heart with horrible memories...the memories of...being pushed or treated like crap...those days when I had no friends and I felt so alone...this song is like a lulliby that makes me fall asleep every night...and those nights seem like days as the same dream plays over and over again each night...
gives me goosbumps every time i hear this...so beautiful
so beautiful it brings back so many memories
I love the reprise. Just listening to all the keys being hit makes you want to listen to it over and over and over.
This song also lifts spirits, whenever anyone feels down you can listen to this song. It as a great means of importance, this song, it makes me feel like I can do anything and succed. ^^ Five stars for sure.
Thank you so much for the awesome 7 minutes! I was seriously stressed and this... made my day. God bless you!
i love this song it is so beautiful and peaceful and i listen to it every night before i go to bed
Whenever I listen to this,I cry for the loss of innocence and beauty in the world.
KH brought me and my brother closer when our oldest brother went to (chase some ass all the way across the U.S) Conetticut and we went through a really hard time. So my brother dragged me to his room every night, literally, and popped in the game, and I always forgot about our problems as he helped me learn to play. Thanks for uploading this video and to whomever created this game. This is one memory that won't ever be scattered and lost.
It's brings emotion out everyone it seems, this song is simply just beautiful.
Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy have the best music in them, every track is so breathtaking and makes you think about life, and for me personally the songs open up a new world for me, a world with no issues.
A masterpeice!
this entire video game series is something i hold very dear to me, the emotions the music, the characters and the plot in these games are just beyond words the music in KH and shadow of the colossus are my favourite
Any time i hear this song it actually makes me cry waterfalls. Never heard so much emotion in one song as much as this
This song make me think so much of my past and how far I come. I love how songs have this much effect on us :)
ur gonna make me cry i cnt imagine being at a funeral and having to listen to this song
sometimes when i was younger i just beat the game then go to sleep with this playing. i miss life back then where you could play video games after school every day no worries in the world
My thoughts exactly, like Axel said: "if you have a dream, don't wait- act!",
I totally agree with your comment there.
Whenever I play this on the piano, it feels like the world around me has been paused to listen to the peacefulness of this song.
Kingdom Hearts used to be my kingdom. I played it for hours in my young times. I remember crying at the end of the story, feeling sad all night. I remember the times looking forward after the school grabbing the controller and putting on my playstation 2. This was my escape to my reality. It used to be. Now, I live in reality, if I could just escape back. If you read this, think about it, miss your childhood, it's the thing that resides deep within each one of you all, and it wants to come back.
This reminds us that there is pain just as there is joy and hope
Damn the violins in the beginning just send shivers down my body! my favorite dearly beloved
This is my favorite version out of all of the dearly beloved renditions! its just so, pure and innocent and gears you up for playing the most epic game ever!!!
This song makes me feel a feeling that i cant explain. but it touched my heart and start to cry my eyes out
such a beautifull song,i want to hear them every time *-*
Brilliant musician
When I hear these songs...it's hard to stop myself from tearing up... (:
This... it's the only song to ever bring me to tears. I loved the game and I loved the soundtrack. This song has a magical, majestic quality to it that just makes this song sound beautiful.
There's such a sense of wonder and adventure you get from Dearly Beloved and there's such an overpowering sense of victory and fulfillment from Reprise.
Whenever I play KHII, I would always leave the menu on just to listen to this song. Brings back such good memories
Simply put, because I can't ignore the fact that it has some beautiful music. It's like this: When I listen to Hikari ad Dearly Beloved, I can feel that there's a beautiful world behind the music, but there are too many things about that world that I don't really appreciate, so I have no connection to the music. BUT, I still appreciate the fact that it is still one of those songs that tells a story that has touched people all over the world.
This song always puts me at ease, and my mind wanders often while I listen to it. I don't think what you said sounds cheesy at all.
The dearly beloved reprise at the end of Kingdom Hearts 2 was an amazing moment when i first played it. I remember holding the controller in my hands and staring at the words 'The End' on the screen and feeling amazed that i had connected with this game over many months. And i felt so sad knowing it was all over. I feel like Kairi looking out on the horizon waiting...waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3!
I own only one of the KH games... yet I still feel nostalgic when I listen to this.
The power of video game music.
This was the song that I walked down the aisle to and the reprise was our unity sand vase music! Still takes my breath away and makes me remember that fairytale moment.
No true beauty exists. Every beauty is different. Our view on such a thing is defined by ourselves, our views, our emotions, our memories, our opinions.

This song never gets old, honestly.
Kingdom hearts was the first game i ever got for PS2. It was an awesome video game. Listening to this makes me want to go play it.
good one sharing, Stay connected.
This was my inspiration to start playing/writing my own piano music.
I moved to texxas for a year, and i lost all my friends. When i came back, i saw them all.......and this theme popped into my head.......i finally found them all......i was so happy.......
My life has been pretty crappy lately, and I've been super depressed and for some reason this made it all just pour out of my eyes. I needed that big time, thanks for uploading.
When i first played KH with my guyfriend he learned how to play this song on the piano and played it for me on my birthday. but 2 months later he got very sick and died. now i always listen to this song to remind me of all the fun times we had.
I can barely stand to hear this. It's a beautiful piece, and the version from Kingdom Hearts II is my favorite. It's simply so...depressing. This is all the proof you need that a song doesn't need lyrics to make you cry. Excellent. All of the music is wonderful. I remember when I first heard this when I was about six, and I immediately burst into tears. This is also the whole reason I am going to take piano lessons.
After you'll play it, this song will make you even cry. That's a masterpiece. Seriously.
This song makes me cry...
And makes me think of thosewho ended up leaving me for a better place...
Every time I popped the disc into the PS2, I always hesitated to push 'start' simply because I wanted to just sit and listen to this.
The theme makes me feel almost as if this was the final game in the series, and after I finished playing, I'd just be left with beautiful memories of an epic adventure gone by.
Story of my life.
It's Such A great Song it Reminds Me of my Childhood.
this song caused a pivotal moment in my life....it made me want to feel what it is to be human...and to love as well as my love and want to play the piano.
wow this soundtrack is phenomenal, it is so emotional...
Being able to add our own annotations.. it's fun. Thanks a bunch. It's a beautiful song.
I remember the ending screen to Kingdom hearts 2 i felt sad i don't know why. I would just sit there what seemed like forever just listening to this...
Man I listen to this song, and think of how beautiful life is, or how its going to be. I'm so sure of myself when I listen to this. It is so beautiful.
Yoko Shimomura did a lovely work of art with this song.
