Lyrics:
I can’t get my mind off those sweet memories
I'm begging you, please, don't take my dreams
Your music brings my soul to life and dries up all my tears
You make the pain disappear
Times flies but it’s oh so hard to let go
Like summertime, it slowly comes and it goes
I ease the blues with my favorite tunes
I play all day with my eyes closed
Times flies but it’s oh so hard to let go
Like summertime, it slowly comes and it goes
I ease the blues with my favorite tunes
Raise me up with those heavenly sounds
I can’t remember your smile or your gentle embrace
I have no way to tell you ‘don’t walk away’
My sorrow keeps holding me down when my soul wants to be free
Come save me from this misery
Time flies but it’s oh so hard to let go
Each moment so precious and frail like the snow
I close my eyes for a peace of mind
Let me live in this heavenly bliss
Time flies but it’s oh so hard to let go
Each moment so precious and frail like the snow
The pain ends when I’m with my friends
You warm my heart with your embrace
Times flies but it’s oh so hard to let go
Like the summertime it slowly comes and it goes
I ease the blues with my favorite tunes
I play all day with my eyes closed
Times flies but it’s oh so hard to let go
Like summertime it slowly comes and it goes
I ease the blues with my favorite tunes
You raise me up with those heavenly sounds
*akihiko voice* I've been waiting for this
indicted ya saw that shinji?
I’ve been patiently anticipating this moment
Cringe
More like a certified edgelords voice
@@dokkanbattleplayer2921 nahhh don’t be like that

How about my testimony from p3 movie ?
She Doesn't Take Sound Requests ,Only If Your A Patron
she did
*now perish*
This song is a perfect medley of Nanako's and Namatame's feelings and it represents their Heaven dungeon well. The dungeon is a combination of both their perceptions of heaven, their grief, and their desires to see their loved ones again (Nanako's mother and Namatame's lover, respectively). It also makes Nanako's innocent question early on in the game about where people go when they die all the more painful in retrospect (one of the options is to tell her that dead people go to heaven). It's interesting, too, to see the different relationship dynamics and their juxtaposed experiences of grief. For Namatame, he lost his lover and is experiencing grief as an adult. He misses her dearly, blames himself for what happened, and had to witness her brutal murder.
For Nanako, she lost her mother very young and is experiencing grief as a child. She barely remembers her, but she remembers enough to miss her. Children don't really understand death, either, so in some ways it is even more difficult for Nanako to deal with. Besides that, even if Nanako doesn't really remember her mother, she can still see how her loss affects others. She sees how it affects her father, and gets scared that he's going to forget about her like how he "forgot" about Nanako's mother. She doesn't understand that Dojima has most definitely forgotten her, in fact he's kinda hung up on her death. She doesn't understand that Dojima doesn't keep pictures around of Nanako's mother because it's too painful for him, or that the reason he's often so busy is because he's trying to find her mother's killer. Nanako can also look around and see other children and their mothers, and feels the loss of her mother in that way, too. They say you can't miss what you never had, but that just isn't true. You CAN miss what you never had, as evidenced by Nanako and other children who have lost a parent or family member. You can look around and see other people with their parents/relatives and regret not having that too.
I am fortunate in that I have both my parents and haven't experienced such terrible loss in that way, but I can say that I envy people who still have their grandfathers. Heck, even if they don't still have them I envy people who at least got to know their grandfathers. I never knew either of mine, both of them died kinda young. One of my grandfathers died in his sixties, before I was born, which might not sound young but nowadays sixty is pretty young. The other grandfather died when I was very young, and I don't remember him. He dies in his seventies, which is a bit better but still a tad on the young side considering the average lifespan today. But of course, I don't mean to turn this into a pity party or sound like I'm saying "poor me". I am very fortunate, all things considered, and I at least knew my grandmothers. Well... one of them, the other I only knew through greeting cards but she was kind of a bitch anyway lol.

*Calm cocktail jazz intro*
I can't get my mind off those sweet memories.
I'm begging you please, don't take my dreams.
Your music brings my soul to life and dries up all my tears.
You make the pain disappear.
Time flies but it's oh so hard to let go.
Like summertime, it slowly comes and it goes.
I ease the blues with my favorite tunes.
I play all day, with my eyes closed.
Time flies but it's oh so hard to let go.
Like summertime, it slowly comes and it goes.
I ease the blues with my favorite tunes.
Raise me up, with those heavenly sounds.
I can't remember your smile or your gentle embrace.
I have no way to tell you "don't walk away"!
My sorrow keeps holding me down, but my soul wants to be free.
Come save me from this misery.
Time flies but it's oh so hard to let go.
Each moment so precious and frail like the snow.
I close my eyes for a piece of mind.
Let me live in this heavenly bliss.
Time flies but it's oh so hard to let go.
Each moment so precious and frail like the snow.
The pain ends when I'm with my friends.
You warm my heart, with your gentle embrace.
Time flies but it's oh so hard to let go.
Like summertime, it slowly comes and it goes.

I play all day with my eyes closed.
TIme flies but it's oh so hard to let go.
Like summertime it slowly comes and it goes.
I ease the blues with my favorite tunes.
You raise me up, with those heavenly sounds.
WIth those heavenly sounds~
I really love this song. It has all the elements that I needed in my life right now. Thank you, truly, for making this cover Sapphire. Sorry for being so late to the party.
Bruh lyrics are already in the description
@@ribbbit572
Perhaps they didn't know, I didn't, and so I came to the comment section first because that's where lyrics can usually be found;
Even if they were in the description, it might not cross people's minds to search there.
Think
jeez man, this brings back memories. I don't wanna get all sappy or whatever, but in all honesty persona 4 is a game that brings me nostalgia. Its my favorite game of all time, the music was beautiful. The characters were well written, they didn't feel like card board cut outs of people, they felt real. Which is why me, and likely many others cried at the end of the game. It changed my life for the better, it helped me cope with the fact "nothing will last forever, so you gotta make the most of it" I never played NG+, nor do I plan on playing the game again period. I love this cover, thanks for reading.
GO TO BED
-Morgana persona 5
For the feel real comment, I honestly thought Yukiko was the most cardboard cutout party member in Persona ever. As for feeling real, I thought the Investigation Team did this trait the weakest of the 3 teams. They still felt real mind you, but not as much as the Thieves (they just barely lose to the Thieves though) and especially SEES. I’ll admit they have the best friendly interactions though.
@@Mojo1356 Well Yukiko was a person who had her decisions done by other people so it kinda seems like she is just really polite or didnt interact with people that much. Like she didnt feel like an independent person all the time. I feel like that's why she feels robotic or something
I just hate Rise, i hated her so much, but everyone else is amazing
@@elijahwinograd5851 She sucks doo doo water
Bruh... Bruh... That... Was as golden as the Persona 4 Remake
Bars
So corny hahaha...buh i love it
Remake? You mean golden? I wouldn't call it a remake
Nice
@@unknownguy8687 Yeah, I'd call it a downgrade B^)
I see Chie, I click. I hear good music, I stay.
*applause*
Guy Remex damn straight
For Real??!
I see your a man of culture as well
Chie is best girl
A lot of people have been asking for Last Surprise and I get why, but I would also give up my right arm for a cover of Beneath the Mask
AGREED
How's life without that arm?
@@coffeeris He's using his Persona/ Stand powers to compensate.
Sacrifice your right arm? Who are you, Edward Elric?
@@grim_56 Alchemy: cost an arm and a leg
can just imagine myself hearing this in a pub while drinking a whiskey and feeling so at peace listening to this and just looking back on fond memories while doing so, such a beautiful cover of heaven, one of my favorite tracks in the game :)
Definitely a jazz club or lounge
When I saw this my heart skipped a beat. This cover is so great. Persona is one of my favorite series and hearing you sing some of my favorite tracks is awesome. Thank you so much
This is so beautiful. I played this game all summer back in 2013 and it's one of the fondest memories I have in my entire life. Nanako's dungeon was always my favourite and this song is so beautiful. I needed to hear this to remind of better times. Thanks for brightening up my week!
ChocolateCake Want the dungeon to be even better? Imagine that both the dungeon and the song are talking about the Namatame. It fits his little story as well.
ChocolateCake You too 0_0 that's when I first played Persona!
it feels like 2013 was just universally a good year for everyone, everywhere. I too had an amazing summer that year, playing ac: new leaf and p4g. Life was simpler.
Holy shit can't believe you're singing with Ashestoashes that's so awesome
SHE'S BACK!!
Your voice sounds like Heaven, Great cover!!
Holy shit. Thats her voice? It sounds just like the real thing
@@fhaithful What... did you expect? It says its a cover.
@@AzuraRaijin shhhh
I swear my heart skips a beat and I melt at 1:58 every time when Ashe starts singing, his voice is so soft and so smooth, reminds me of those old timey "crooners" from the 40s and 50s. I can't stop listening lol. Seriously, Ashe, you have an amazing voice for jazz! Please do more jazz covers! Of course, you do an amazing job too, Sapphire! You also have a great voice for jazz!
Woah, this is honestly such a unique take on Heaven! It's got that jazzy but sad feeling to it, and I love that kind of emotion it gives off! An absolute masterpiece, I'll be listening to this for the next few weeks on repeat, if you don't mind!
Me at 0:00.. Okay, this is nice
Me at 0:30. Oh my god that voice is so effin good!
(Heh, I pulled a Ryuji)
1:35 D O R I M E
For real?!
It's been like three months since your last cover but it feels like ages ago
Ps I'm liking it so far too
lock me up and throw away the keys
this song is slower than i expected, but then again i've always listened to remix of it so idk how it originally sounds like xD
+Dio Brando LORD DIO LIKING SOMETHING?!?! EVEN SPEEDWAGON IS AFRAID!
look up persona 4 "heaven" the original should be there
I wont lie, your so good at singing this song it made me cry. The message of the song makes me miss my late father. 10/10 you did an amazing job.
Never clicked on a video so fast.
Never SEE IT COMIIIIIIING! YOU'LL SEE THAT MY MIND IS TOO FAST FOR EYES!
FruitsLookingForConcupiscentMouths dear*
hey mom look an unoriginal comment
This song makes my heart so happy and so sad at the same time. It just makes me want to sing.
Like most here, I'd like Sapphire to take on P5 songs. However, I'd also really want to see her take on anything from Steins;Gate (preferably 'Gate of Steiner').
I'd love to see her cover Beneath the Mask
smiffwilm I want "Skyclad Observer" or "Preghiera of the moonlit night"
Strangething dear God YES
man I love her smooth jazzy voice it's just lovely. life will change would sound so much better with her clear jazzy english vocals.
I would love a english cover of "My Testimony" from P3
Y'know, everyone's asking for Last Surprise, but I think I'd much rather hear Night Rain. As well as Last Surprise being done by almost everyone at this point, I feel like Night Rain would be much better with your voice (Not that Last Surprise would be bad, mind you).
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
That lounge duet is phenomenal. Keep doing you, Sapphire.
This sounds like it belongs in a jazz club.. .So good. Whoever did your instrumentals did an insane job!
I'm just obsessed with this song, I never hear anything better, even the original version.
I love your voice, Sapphire!!!!!!!
Straight up eargasm. I have had this on repeat since I heard it like 4 days ago! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Still here 4 years later
I've been waiting for this song for the longest time. Whenever I was sad, happy or anything really this song's WIP clips always play on repeat. I could not tell you how much this song helped me, thank you for releasing the full version.
I think life will be slightly more palatable now.
i know nobody will read this but I must say it. I played a lot of games, heard a lot of different music and watched all kind of anime and shows.
That being said, the persona games are some of the most beautiful things I ever experienced in my short life (maybe just neon genesis evangelion made me feel something as intense)
They are so different from everything else, the combat system is stellar, the stories and characters feel so alive and real. And every time i hear a musical piece from P3,4,5 soundtracks they just send chill down my spine. Atlus, thank you for these masterpieces.
Currently I'm playing p5, (no spoilers please) can you then still enjoy p3 and p4 or are they a little outdated
@@gentlekef8653 IMO, the only thing P5 does better than 4 and 5 is visuals. P3 and 4 are mmm delicious, and are actually well-written, especially 3.
If you have a PC you can emulate them both on PS2 for free.
@@JayAreAitch I see, thank you for responding!
GentleKef btw for P3, you're gonna want P3FES. It's an enhanced re-release which includes an epilogue which I won't spoil.
Also there's no direct control of party members, so use tactics lol.
@@JayAreAitch Do you recommend the same for p4 playing p4 golden?
God, I got absolute CHILLS when Ashe kicked in. 0///0
I am crying! This is a beauty of a cover!
I have listened to this song repeatedly. I keep finding myself returning to this song. I have to say, you really did something special with this song. This was such a minor song in the game. But your voice has added something truly beautiful to this song, and the lyrical changes really captured Nanako's story. The increasing strength of the song from slow to fast also gives this feeling like her friendship with the main cast leads her on the path of recovery from the loss of her mom. This song moved me so much, and is truly one of the greatest covers I have seen on youtube. It touched a deep part of my soul, and I love it.
I have actually caught myself singing this some days. It's brilliant. Please more Persona covers!
O-oh dear.. I was not ready for this!
Sapphire, your wonderful voice and singing, with this beautiful jazz cover of the song, it feels heavenly. So glad I discovered you! ❤️
My most vivid memory of persona 4 was playing through the dungeon with this song. I was on the edge of panic and desperation trying to get through as quickly as possible. The stakes never felt higher in that moment, and the song was burned into my brain. You did an amazing job with this cover, thank you ❤
This voice...so RICH...so DEEP (in both meaning and tone)...
May you ever keep performing with these "heavenly sounds", Sapphire. Your singing is truly a gem in all of the videos on here.
Keep up the good work!
NEVER CLICKED SO GOD DAMN FAST YESSSSAS
Does it count if one of my favorite songs ever is a cover? Like, shit dude... This is "Heavenly", literally.
Thank you, Sapphire.
I really can't even process how there are dislikes on this cover.
there are some extremely bitter cold and lonely assholes in this world.
@@finallife87 well said.
James Silver or maybe some people just don’t like the song not everyone likes the same thing
its adachi
Probably because they’re not using the right lyrics :/
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TWO OF MY FAVORITE SINGERS IN ONE VID HOLY SHIVA.
This is like being stabbed in the heart - in the best possible way.
it almost made me cry fsr. it gives me a vibe of a nostalgic warm saturday after-noon
heaven is one of my favorite songs... thank you for this.
Fly me to the moon - Frank Sinatra (Evangelion ending)
What i love about your covers, is that they never sound the same, your ability to adapt your voice to each song you do is amazing. Most cover artists usually all have the same sound to them.
Smack in the middle of summer.
Im in heaven now... This is beautiful. Just WOW...
THANK YOU SO MUCH SINGING THIS! Seriously, Heaven is my favourite song from Persona 4 so this just awesome.
This is spooky.....I'm doing my first ever playthrough of Persona 4 and I just got to this dungeon.... Why do this things keep happening to me!!
i"d like thank you. This cover is what brought me to P4. and within persona 4 and this song. i learned many lessons. so thanks Sapphire, your voice is amazing, and thanks
When I searched up a cover version of this song, this was exactly what I wanted to hear as a cover. Thank you so much for doing this and you're very talented! Good luck with all your future projects and covers
Congratulations! This is amazing!
Oh jesus. One of the best Persona covers out there, wouldn't be out place in the game it's that good. Well done.
“I can’t remember your smiiiile” the way he came on that line gave me chills first time I heard it. The vocals are so smooth
This incredible.
Why have I only found out about this and Persona now??
Play the games
you should play the games.
I've nabbed P4G off of Steam and just started my first playthrough
@@veryclearenglishspeaker4557 you can play P3FES on the computer using PCSX2, as well
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSSS
Persona 4 really does have a good soundtrack doesn’t it? lol Nanako ain’t one of my most favorite characters, but god dayum is this an emotional song. Great job Sapphire!
Fantastic! Like always
I always wanted a Heaven cover (づᗒᗜᗕ)づ I'm so happy
Your covers always inspire me to write sad stories for some reason so thank you
This is a song that you would listen to on a cool summer night. With the crickets chirping in the background, you feel at true peace.
Moresence in December
Wow, just wow. This was amazing.
This sounds so fucking good. I'm literally dying, I can't I've always loved,loved,loved this song. It spoke to me, literally.
Yutt man yutt man yutt man🙌🙌 I've been waiting so long for this piece of Heaven🙏🙏
This jazzy rendition is simply "Heaven"-ly!!
Everybody is talking about the beautiful voice of sapphire and ashe, but maaan, the consouls also rock on this.
HOLY COLLAB!! You both sound like angels
OMG!!! MY TWO FAVORITE SINGERS SINGING ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS!!! I think I've just died...
"I can't get my mind off this sweet VOICE!"
Really great lyric rewrite. I didn't even notice until the second chorus! Really captures the feel of the original while offering subtle improvements. Love it!
Sappire, you just kill it every time. Worth the wait!!
Keep coming back to this its fr so great
It’s called “Heaven” because a true angel is in the thumbnail 👀
Facts
no, that's chie
Based
No, that's just chie
Wow, such a wonderfully soothing and calm cover
can't wait for someone to Nightcore it
This is pure 24k gold.
ok, EDIT: came back the next day and realized this is more than fucking gold, for real
I know The Consouls Band when I hear them! So glad you guys are doing more collabs!
The voice.... the arrangements. U guys are geniuses.
Since she redid the lyrics to work better in English, here they are!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can't get my mind off those sweet memories
I'm begging you, please, don't take my dreams
Your music brings my soul to life
And dries up all my tears
You make the pain disappear
Time flies, but it's oh, so hard to let go
Like summertime, it slowly comes and it goes
I ease the blues with my favorite tunes
I play all day with my eyes closed
Time flies, but it's oh, so hard to let go
Like summertime, it slowly comes and it goes
I ease the blues with my favorite tunes
Raise me up with those heavenly sounds
I can't remember your smile, or your gentle embrace
I have no way to tell you "Don't walk away"
My sorrow keeps holding me down, and my soul wants to be free
Come save me from this misery
Time flies, but it's oh, so hard to let go
Each moment, so precious and frail like the snow
I close my eyes for a piece of mind
Let me live in this heavenly bliss
Time flies, but it's oh, so hard to let go
Each moment, so precious and frail like the snow
The pain ends when I'm with my friends
You warm my heart with your gentle embrace
Time flies, but it's oh, so hard to let go
Like summertime, it slowly comes and it goes
I ease the blues with my favorite tunes
I play all day with my eyes closed
Time flies, but it's oh, so hard to let go
Like summertime, it slowly comes and it goes
I ease the blues with my favorite tunes
You raise me up with those heavenly sounds
With those heavenly sounds....
I loved the changes to the lyrics, adds so much depth
This might be the greatest vibe ive ever felt in my life listening to this song. Im having a bit of an overload.
So good to see P4 covers still cropping up :D
This cover is perfect and I'm glad to have heard it. Sapphire has a lovely voice.
This gave me all the good chills. 10/10
You sound so beautiful in this song cover and I'll definitely be waiting for you to do some Persona 5 songs, especially Rivers in the Desert and Last surprise
This is so beautiful! I feel as if Nanako and Dojima are both pouring their hearts out~
Ah, another great Sapphire cover to listen to in the background on the computer. Despite being in the title, I somehow completely did not see that Ashe sang with you for this cover so that was a pleasant surprise when his voice came up in the song.
Nicely done!
This is such a gorgeously sad song. You did such a great job creating a lovely blues rendition of it.
I can't wait until you cover Persona 5 songs! I loved your original take on these lyrics.
Damn this *HITS* 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fantastic work both of you!
This song plus rainy mood on light setting is just pure bliss and i can just imagine sitting in a cafe watching the rain reading a book with this in the background...such a beautiful cover (I still need to get to p4...ive been to caught up in p5)
Amazing, just like all your other covers! love the jazz
One of the best covers I ever heard! Thank you, this song is pure masterpiece.
I cant believe I forgotten this song. I stand by that Persona 4 had one of the most classic sound tracks I've ever heard to the point I memorialized the CD that came with my copy of the game. Persona 5 had a much more message oriented soundtrack which help get the message of the game across with songs like Life will change, Beneath the Mask, and Wake up get up get out there. But man Persona 4's is just so damn good i cant help but just love it slightly more thanks for doing justice to this song in so many ways.
Thank you for this sapphire i finally have something to sing to my brother when i vist his grave...this was one of his favorite songs
The peak of P4 moment! Love this song, and love your cover!
Her voice is a heavenly sound
Simply beautiful, like I'm sitting in a cafe watching time tick by.
This song literally just cured my migraine. You're a goddess.
