Witnessing KH3s title screen for the first time is something I'll never forget

KH2 Dearly Beloved is like gently being woken up by a shaded sunrise on the weekend after it stormed all night.

*“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 to remember… Never give up on people that are important to you.

Kh1: it's going to be okay, stand tall and take a deep breath. Kh2: come, take a break with me. You've done enough for now. Kh3: look at how far you've come, look at everything you've accomplished, you're almost to the finish line. Keep going I believe in you! This is how the main 3 dearly beloveds feels to me.

KH2’s version will always give me goosebumps.

I used to leave the KH2 menu screen alone just to hear the music play back when i was a kiddo. Man i miss playing on my ps2 late at night.

The KH2 reprise is one that breaks my heart somehow, every time I hear it. There was something hauntingly beautiful about finishing KH2 at 1 am on my crummy old TV back in 2009. The ending screen just being that, a picture with the words "The End" on it. No battle logs for how I did, not even the option to save my game. And this song haunting me as I tried to sleep that night. I cried, long and hard. I'm not even sure why. KH2 didn't exactly have a sad ending, if only Roxas and Namine were left to the void. Maybe there was something else going on in my life at the time, and I heard this song while it was happening. I'm not sure. I can't remember. But it's almost comforting that I can't remember. This song is just an enigma in my memory. I can remember sitting on the couch with the blanket clutched in my hands and crying to myself. But any of the other days, before or after then? It's left me.

I love how melody of memory's one is just so jazzy I love it

Man i remember years ago when i was a kid and my mom died, i moved to my aunt and it was the first time i saw the commercial on tv for KH2. There was only one thing i wanted and it was this game. I probably spend months on this game before i got to play KH 1 xD i was obsessed with Kingdom Hearts, building a keyblade with lego, playing all the games and crying because of 385 days end xD mostly good times as a kid .. Life has been busy now. I think we sometimes need to release roxas out of our heart and relive the last summer. Before we became who we are now.

There's just something magical about Dearly Beloved that I haven't heard or seen replicated in any other game let alone franchise. This one score that's been changed a little for each game to suit its own tale but show that it's only one small piece in a bigger whole, how it by itself can be played and anyone nearby that's fallen in love with the series or have at least played some of the games with be able to recognize what game series it's from. The term 'perfect' is often tossed around so easily to describe things but Dearly Beloved is one of the few things that warrants the use of it. Dearly Beloved is perfectly imperfect. Every version shows the piece itself isn't the be all end all by itself but with some small changes here or there, it can win over every heart whether it become a favorite due to someone's favorite game, memories, connections, or melody.

4:55 "Mickey... I really appreciate it. But...I'll go wake Sora up. Look at his face. Sleeping like nothing's wrong, like there's nothing to even worry about. He's always been like that. The three of us would agree to work on the raft, and then this guy would go take a nap on the beach. You see, it's my job to keep him on his toes. Besides, what kind of Keyblade Master sleeps through his test? I'm doing it for me, too. Sora saved me once. And... I heard him call my name. He needs me."

[UPDATE] I am very aware of the new version of Dearly Beloved that we got with the ending of UX. I intend to make an updated playlist soon with a few new additions as well!

Everybody gangsta until Kingdom Hearts III and Chain of memories pull out the grand piano

"He was the only one I liked....The only one that made me feel...Like I had a heart. Just like you do." - Axel (got it memorized)

"Dearly Beloved" makes my eyes well up. Every single arrangement of this piece is so uniquely beautiful that I can call it nothing short of a masterpiece. Thank you Yoko Shimomura for the iconic music, and thank you Kimpchuu for putting them all together.

KH2 will forever be my favorite Dearly Beloved. I feel so happy and sad at the same time.

This was my childhood. Simple and Clean. I remember first getting KH, not knowing what I was going to delve into. 15+ years later, and I haven't cried like I did when starting and finishing KH3. Onward!

I love all the little details that make em unique. How KH1 almost sounds like it's underwater with reprised having a more shore theme using the music box. How Chains has a more pronounced piano that is the used throught the rest of the versions 2 starts to incorporate more string instruments building into a harmonic sound 365 uses a more wind instruments than the rest showing how it's not as focused more wild confused with subtle tones of kingdom hearts 1. RE Coded is more up beat happy showing a shift in tides towards a better future. BBS sounds more alone than any of the rest of the series and you feel that with the instruments coming and leaving almost whenver they feel like it. DDD has almost like a washed undertone at first leading to a more lucid beat like sheap jumping over a fence. Chi has this completely different beat to it as it differese from the rest of the series with Back Cover going back showing it tying itself back to the series yet still differing in it's sorrow. 3 is just different returning home to the shore almost like when you see your home in the distance so you just start going on a mad sprint.

In college rn and just recently got into the series. I haven’t gotten so into a series in years, and hearing this music and seeing the main menu for the games makes me emotional. This franchise makes me feel like a kid again and it makes me so happy

Can we acknowledge that KH1 gives you a musical plot twist by withholding the second half of Dearly Beloved from the title screen? After you beat the final boss, you hear the second half kick in, and it sounds simultaneously highly emotional and yet... somehow familiar. Then, it picks up, and as you hear the part of Dearly Beloved you recognize, you *feel* it. It's genius.

Birth By Sleep's rendition of Dearly Beloved is my absolute favorite! God, it makes me so emotional!

As someone who has never played any Kingdom Hearts games, I love this. This is beautiful, and I am seriously considering getting into the series now. If this music can make me feel the way it does now, I can't even imagine what it will do to me if I'm properly emotionally invested in the story of these games.

"May your heart be your guiding key."🗝

Personally 358/2 day and recoded are my favorite dearly beloveds because they were the only games I was able to play for the longest time. I remember I would used to just sit on the title screen and just listen to it over and over again. Every single version still hits me right in the feels though.

KH3 Dearly Beloved is like waking up in the middle of spring after getting a full 8 hours of sleep and having birds fly away happily as you walk out the door to get a fresh whiff of the ocean breeze.

KH3 ReMind’s Dearly Beloved hits me because it feels like the one where Sora’s heart truly connects to the other Guardians of Light and they connect all back to him all to become stronger than ever before together Man, this is my favorite series ever 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Oh a new Genshin Impact vid- wait a minute, this isn't Genshin related at all! It's a good thing I also LOVE Kingdom Hearts.

I'll never forget the Dream Drop Distance version, as it was the game that brought me to the series. It was my first Kingdom Hearts game and I had no idea what the series was, I just thought it was some other game. I'm so glad I actually took the time to look into it more because the series is amazing! Only thing missing is my boi Oswald.

Severely underrated video i've probably watched this over 10 times

Still to this day KH2 still makes me cry from nostalgia the song sounds so sad but fills me with so much happiness

It’s amazing how you can feel happiness, sadness, hope, regret, nostalgia, relief and way more all at the same time just by listening to Dearly Beloved… I think that’s why I cry every time I listen to it. Even the first time I heard Dearly Beloved I cried so much because it felt like something I’ve heard before but couldn’t remember. But my heart did, *because Dearly Beloved is the perfect definition of what a heart is.* It doesn’t matter if you start playing Kingdom Hearts today or 20 years ago… or even if you’ve never played before… this will somehow feel nostalgic no matter what. That’s why this is a masterpiece… Capture the essence of a heart in its whole is no easy task if we consider that most of the times we don’t know what we feel ourselves, or how to describe that feeling. So how can a piece do that without lyrics? And how can exist so many distinct versions of the same piece? All of them focus in one thing more to adapt to their own game and its tale without losing the main idea. That’s simply genius. And if you ask KH fans what’s their favorite version most of them will have different answers because all of them are so good that it is too subjective and the connection is made by the melody, memories or nostalgia for the first game you’ve played… For me it is KH 3D or 358/2 Days version.

Dearly Beloved by Yoko Shimomura will forever be my favorite piano medley

Who could ever dislike this masterpiece?

in 358/2 days u can feel the sadness in the song! Love this game

fav thing to listen to while studying

“The rain sounds like the applause from a spiritual realm.” - Jahseh Onfroy

The work to set up the visual graphics for each part of the franchise is such a great cherry on top. Thanks for the compliation, Kimpchuu!

Hearing Dearly Beloved instantly puts a tear in my eye

I love how KH3's sounds like a mixture of all of them

This deserves so much more love, it's absolutely amazing.

Beauty in music is everywhere and those who find it can find peace in that beauty. Nothing is more important than the feelings you feel when remembering something you hold so dear in your heart and accepting that it is now just a memory. Dearly beloved ties my heart to this impactful franchise of goofy Disney characters running around with a cast of characters that shaped me into the person I am today, and when it is over I will lie in wait and fondly remember my life with through this song.

When you've played all the KH games, and when you listened dearly beloved for the second time. Idk if its just me, but the versions for each dearly beloved kinda tells the atmosphere or the tone of the game that it represent. That cool af.

its great because it does a great job of showing how dire the situation is, but there is hope. that's what I love about this song. If your listening in a time of loss it can give hope and if you are living in a time of great hope, it can remind you of the loss it took to get there.

Days and BBS have two of the most emotional versions for me, but that KH2 track man, right in the nostalgia

Honestly, I'm so happy I pick this game when I was a teen because who doesn't want to fight along side Donald and Goofy while Mickey is your king. Plus you get to revisit all your favourite Disney characters along with their world and fight along side them too. This game will definitely stand the test of time like Final Fantasy 7.

Dearly beloved is easily one of the most well done songs I've ever heard. Its soothing, relaxing, and it's great. Since KH was one of the first videogames I've ever played, I'm very happy to be a KH fan. Cant wait to hear KH4's Dearly Beloved variant.

Can't wait to hear KH4's Dearly Beloved I can't belive that its coming way sooner than expected

Omgg that melodic flute 358/2 days! My heart just died ! KH music makes me feel all sorts of ways! Humanly as possible to Eternally magical.

Thank you for this KIMPS !!!! Ahhhh and the design of this is so sleek 😭😭

i was looking for a compilation of all of these a few months back and couldnt find one , thank you for making this :)

You did an amazing job, thank you so much !

As always, KH2's Dearly Beloved just hits differently.

Man In my Sincere Opinion THIS SONG is why I Stand by Kingdom Hearts no matter what the story leads no matter how convoluted when it has such a wonderful Overture that is Dearly Beloved! The Power of the Piano I tell ya!

The birth by sleep one ist my favorite - maybe it's because BBS was my first KH Experience

I’ve listened to this about a hundred times. The music easily is the best part of the series. Thank you for sharing this compilation.

thanks for making this! I love it!

This is amazing. You did such a good job~!

My Top 5: 1. KH2 (It's hard to explain, but this one takes me to another world. Simple yet so effective. This one's the GOAT.) 2. KH3 (The most dynamic and powerful one. Has that epic, cinematic feel.) 3. Birth By Sleep 4. 358/2 Days (I really like the flute and violin.) 5. Re:Coded Honorable Mentions: Melody of Memory, KH1

This has gotten me through many a long study session. Thank you, person who uploaded this video.

I wish the Concert Paraphrase version they used for the KH3 teaser where Xehanort & Eraqus were talking about their masters favorite story was in this line up... Then it'd feel complete.

Thank you for this! Popped up on my recommended. Dearly Beloved is just one of those songs that will make me cry every time I hear it, no matter how many times I hear it.

Wow, I never realised how many different versions there were of the song! Thanks for uploading and organising them so nicely. And it's still surprising to me how much of a bop the Melody of Memory version is - have to bob my head to it whenever I hear it

Easy observation, but this is easily this games fairy fountain.

It always gets me emotional the reprise version at the end of every game. This is the franchise that molded my teenage years and now finally after five years of discovering it I have the chance to play the main games.

Thank you for making this. Me, my dad, my mom, and my best friend who I consider a sister love these games and hearing all these songs bring back all the memories of us playing them.

Kingdom hearts has the best theme song

Thank you for this. KH music, especially Dearly Beloved is beautiful and has gotten me through many a studying night

THANK YOU FOR THIS COMPLETE SET ❤

YOO KIMPS THIS IS GREAT!! AWESOME JOB WITH THE GOODS!! ❤️ ❤️❤️

I thank you🙏🏽 for posting this. I really needed it. You have my gratitude, I needed all the dearly beloveds. This is perfect for my anger.

It's crazy to see how different the same song can be! I absolutely love all of these renditions!

358/2 days still kills me svery time, it was the first game I played of that saga, so many good memories

Dearly Beloved is such a beautiful peice of music. I love it ❤

Thank you for this, truly

Always nice to see a Kimpchuu upload.

Dearly Beloved is a forever part of my life, the world I once was in. Its beautiful melodies hold a thousand memories I'll never forget 💜

This collection is amazing! Dearly Beloved is my fav piece of video game music ever. I've got a really soft spot for the [chi] version. It really feels like the start of an adventure.

How can a song be so beautiful, hopeful, and gut-wrenching at the same time???

Dearly beloved reminds me of the comfort that small acts of love gives us. Simple things, that might not seem significant to most people, but to that one person who desperately needs compassion and peace it's more meaningful than anything

358, BBS (link to the future), and KH3 will always be there in my heart.

Dearly Beloved: that one soundtrack that is unbearably beautiful, but melancholy in a way that words fail to describe. Listening to it makes me feel like saying goodbye to this life and going on to the next adventure. KH II DB will always hold a special place within me. Thank you for compiling all these versions for us, Kimpchuu. Cheers.

Listening to this playlist brings me so much calming memories, some sad memories, and the most important of them all, happy memories! I love this game and even though the plot may be confusing for new players, it's still a fun experience. Sometimes, I wish to go to the world with my closest friends and have many adventures. I want to visit all of my favorite Disney and Pixar characters like Simba, Aladin, Woody and Buzz, King Mickey, and so many more! Sure we may go through some troubling times, and face some obstacles, but what this game thought me, what Sora taught me, is that whenever you feel alone, your friends and family will *always* be there for you. Even if they aren't! Thank you for collecting these beautiful pieces of music!

Fantastic!! All this music brings back so many good memories :-D

I hope when I die god (if there is one) shows me all the different times in my life and I can pick which part of my life to go to with a different dearly beloved playing while I hover over the memory. (I'm high af)

thank you furr uploadin this

When I hear the Dearly Beloved from DDD now, I cry... Thanks KHUX

thank you for uploading this

Thank you so much !!!!

0:00 - 4:55 "We, we did it! It's finished, [player] war has come to an end. We can finally go home now! Come on, let's hurry and regroup back with the others." exasperated joy escaping my lips. As I turn around to face you, the most childish grin shone on my face, replaced by a light frown as a gushing wind whisk by us. Without a moment to spare, I wince at the chilly breeze. Whined a bit, settled after. Slowly I looked up to you, regaining sight. The brightest smile I've ever seen was upon your face with such captivating beauty. As I stood in awe, time itself had seemingly stopped. A moment later, "Wait.." I uttered as I watched as your light became scornfully adorned by an endless waterfall of sapphire stones. "Your...Crying?" a question that felt it even questioned itself, filled with uncertainty. 15:04 - 23:10 Thoughts suddenly rushed my mind with a forcing manner of our memories in realization-without warning, "We fought together through the hardships for our freedom and peace, remember! The adventures we did, the quests we took on, the friends we've made, even the people we've helped. It was all so that way we could live like before! So why. Why must you make such a face like it's the end?" I shout, my voice wavering. Shadows veil over my expression, hiding it. Even as I've run to embrace you, both of us fall in a sitting position with emerald grass beneath us. Our surroundings fill with trees and wildflowers all around, my grip tightening as I hold on to you. Tears in view threaten to fall and humiliate me, while sorrow's hands begin to clasp their hands around my neck to silence me from uttering anything else. Then felt as you shift to embrace me back, in the same manner, the sunlight glittering upon us in the forest clearing, quartz pillars that once stood tall sit in shambles due to age as well as being smothered by plantation. The only sound from then on was the wind that ruffled the grass and rattled the tree's leaf tuffs till it became quiet once more. It's then I understood that this was possibly the last of our time together. Sobs from us creeped out. Still, we laughed, "I get it now. Even so, I don't care because this isn't the end. Rather the start of a long journey which has yet to come, and we're going to go to places even more unimaginable. So don't call this a goodbye, rather a see you next time where the start of our new adventures await us." with a smile ever so calm and knowing graces my face, as we both fade way to white once again. An echoed voice rings in your ears for the last time "Until then, see you later [player]." - 'Thoughts' (pov. your the game)

Union X has such a beautiful Dearly Beloved!

BBS will always be my favorite KH game. But all of these hit the same way. pure emotion.

the first one will always make me tear up bc it makes me remember the way I first found kh and thus fell in to the spiral . brings me back to simpler times I cry

I will forever remember getting KH1...it was the most enchanting intro I had heard at the time.

You included the piano collections version and orchestra one too? Props dude, a commonly forgotten but beautiful version

im ur 300 sub!! in all honesty, you deserve wayyy more this is so professional, sleek, satysfying to look at.. and just so pretty!! im in love

This is so great, thanks so much

Woah hello, it's always me!

Kingdom Hearts 2 hits different. It's the first and most impactful game I've played.

9:12 makes me tear up everytime :"(
