Kingdom Hearts and Yvette Young fans are eating today

Did anyone notice how the guitar was still “Yvetteish”? I mean that in a good way. Everything just works.

that Miss Frizzle dress

Aright not cool to play with everyone’s feelings like this 😩😩. This is what we all needed ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you guys are sooo talented. Thank you so much for this.

Literally giving me tears; we named our child Kairi, so this definately hits home. Beautiful cover

Never played KH, so I'm unfamiliar with the piece. So as someone who listened to this as an "original piece", let my just say that I'm completely blown away! It's absolutely beautiful, really everything about it! The vocals, the duet, the instrumentation, the whole performance. Breathtakingly gorgeous! ❤️

As a KH and Covet fan, this is like a wet dream to me. By far the best rendition I've ever heard of this song. Absolutely mind-blowing. Thank you two for making this, and for uploading it to Spotify too!

I haven't heard this song in years. And I thought about it randomly. Decided to listen to it. And I found this. Less than 24 hours after it was posted. What luck and timing. I can't believe I wasn't already subscribed to Yvette's channel. I am a fan of her playing. Discovered her through one of my guitar students.

I always get really nervous when I see someone covering simple and clean, mainly because of how overdone it is, and how easily the cover can become cookie cutter. I had faith that you would go above and beyond, and you exceeded my expectations. Thank you! this is beautiful.

Absolute chills. Haven’t fallen in love with a version of this song this hard since hearing the original 19 years ago. Absolutely stunning.

Props to Damien for holding down that bass end and the vocal harmonies.

When you walk away You don't hear me say, "Please, oh baby, don't go." Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go You're giving me too many things Lately, you're all I need. You smiled at me and said, "Don't get me wrong, I love you, But does that mean I have to meet your father?" When we are older you'll understand What I meant when I said, "No, I don't think life is quite that simple." When you walk away You don't hear me say, "Please, oh baby, don't go." Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go So simple and clean The daily things (like this and that and what is what) That keep us all busy are confusing me That's when you came to me and said, "Wish I could prove I love you, But does that mean I have to walk on water?" When we are older you'll understand It's enough when I say so And maybe some things are that simple When you walk away You don't hear me say, "Please, oh baby, don't go." Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go Hold me Whatever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all Nothing's like before When you walk away You don't hear me say, "Please, oh baby, don't go." Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go Hold me Whatever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all Nothing's like before Hold me Whatever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all Nothing's like before

I played this first thing this morning and Franny said "I really can't tell - is that Utada or Yvette?" :D You and Damien killed it!!!!

I like everything about Yvette- her singing was incredible, as was her playing of all three instruments. I am a guitar guy but her piano sounded amazing. Simple and Clean!

Every time I think Yvette couldn't possibly be any cooler, she proves me wrong. This cover is giving me chills!

One of the most unexpected, yet most pleasant combinations for me, Yvette one of my top favorite artists and kingdom hearts one of my favorite game franchises with some of my favorite game soundtracks. This is a really happy day

This is unreal, the instrumentation with the pads, violin, guitar, vocals, and the mix, just overall insane. Square Enix needs to use this on KH4

By far the best simple and clean cover I've seen. I love how you guys made it your own while still staying true to the original. I think my favorite part overall besides the beautiful singing was how understated the violin is. It's present and makes its mark but doesn't overpower anything. It's just subtle enough to work.

I am a new subscriber but a long time Utada fan. You just won me over completely, what a powerful rendition of such a beautiful song. Cannot praise this enough!! 💕

This was amazing. Please do more collabs with so much light 10/10

Damien is a genius, glad to know you're collaborators! His work with Speed of Sound in Seawater is pure brilliance

This is so nostalgic! You guys absolutely killed it! Really love the guitar and arrangement and how well it serves the vocals. 🌸

0:31 that look on her face, knowing she just made everyones day with this

Idk how many times I've listened to this but I know I'm not stopping

I didn't expect my heart to be healed and carried into heaven when opening KZfaq but I'll take it.

I simultaneously love this while also feel so much pain listening to it

Oh man the "Hoooooooold me" verse is so great 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is the most heartfelt rendition I have ever heard of Simple & Clean. When can you say a cover beats the original - right now you can ❤️

Damien is just the luckiest guy doing this cover with Yvette, so jealous. ❤❤❤❤❤

The harmony we needed

love when she sings

I cant believe this is already a year old! Such a great cover. I may be bias but might like it more than og

Since this song came out, I listen to it weekly. I show it to any ears that listen. Not even a big KH fan, just love this song, and love what you did with it. Thank you, Yvette and thank you Damien.

This turned a horrible day right around. Thank you guys for being so abso-frickin-lutely amazing!

we dont deserve our ears to be graced with this much talent

Goddamn Yvette, you've really grown as a vocalist. Beautiful

the amount of talent and passion in this is so immense. Can't help but well up at certain moments

Ahhhhh totally refreshing, Final fantasy 8, totally brings me back to when Cloud Danced with Quistis at the Top of Mount Doom.

This morning it was Sinnoh remakes and now THIS, MY HEARTSTRINGS TODAY

I’ve never actually felt the need to “like, comment, and subscribe” until this video. Bravo.

Absolutely gorgeous sounding! Makes the little kid in me cry remembering the first time I ever experienced Kingdom Hearts and how much I listened to this song. Perfectly done!

Jesus. I didn't know Yvette could sing too. This is amazing

Angelic manifestation.

What better than listening to talented people, who love what they do💓🙏 Thank you very much for this piece of art

This 5:10 was more moving and exhilarating than the entirety of KH3. 💜 thank you.

That was absolutely beautiful. And gave me goosebumps listening to her sing

Damn one of my favorite songs... y’all killed it.

I haven't even listened to it yet and I'm about to starting getting in my feels. Hit right in the childhood

Listened to a few songs of yours, but this cover is why I subbed 🤙

Oh my god I'm absolutely freaking out, my favourite guitarist in the world covered this song from one of my favourite games? Today's probably my lucky day

Oh wow ... how did I not know about this cover before! So beautiful!

YVETTE COVERING KINGDOM HEARTS IS LIKE ICING ON A CAKE

THATS DAMIEN??? I didn't even recognize him!! Loveee Speed of Sound in Seawater! Anyone who doesn't know him, pleeease lookup his "abandoned hospital island" lil live video. He's grrreat.

3:23 - 3:37 is just, magical.

Finally some good music, simple and clean, just how I like it

Still love coming back to this cover a year later.

How much fucking talent, beauty, and passion can one human being exude.

Just stumbled upon this out of nowhere. Listening to this made my day. Thanks

This sounds like a Kingdom Hearts finale for the saga 😢I love it so much ❤

This song is forever. it hits!

There goes my heart.

I had no idea that my all time favourite game franchise and one of my fav musicians would collide like this. absolutely incredible

Try this, play it at double speed it sounds good, they do this song so well it sounds great at any speed

I've got chills and tears... The nostalgia and emotional weight that this song carries just hits me like a truck, especially when its performed in such a creative and beautiful arrangement by one of my favorite artists. Thanks Yvette

My ears have been blessed by angels

every time I watch this , I happen to burst out in tears (happy tears , dw)

My goosebumps were INSTANT. wow.

You just made my entire childhood better

I can't think of a more perfect cover

this is the version of simple and clean i’m going to listen to from now on

Again, tel of my favorite people making something wonderful!! Thank you and I love you both!

I've been playing this on repeat all day. I love this cover more than any cover of any song I have ever heard in my life.

god DAMN shiver me timbers yvette!!

God Bless Y’all🙏🏽 Spread the Gospel🙌🏽

KZfaq recommended this Masterpiece of a cover to me?! What a gorgeous sound.

Wow, yvette's voice is perfect for this song... ♡

This song brings me back

Nobody has ever done this song better in my opinion ❤

Oh yess my ears are blessed!!!

Never heard the song before, but I super dig this. It's extremely tight musically, but def not in a robotic way. Only thing I'm not super into is it sounds like a keyboard part comes in a little before 4min in and the keyboard tone is really bright and synth-y in a way that strikes me as dissonant with the rest of the arrangement and the overall tone of the song, but even if I'm not super into that, it isn't a big deal. I really appreciate the rainy scenery in the background of the violin clips; first of all, I adore the rain and I live far enough north that I've been seeing snow for the last several months (so give me ALL the rain and rainy outdoors footage), but it also fits just wonderfully with the mood of the song and the arrangement. I can totes seeing this being a 10/10 for those who dig that keys sound more than I do, and for me it's a real solid 9/10. Very enjoyable!

Was about to SMASH that like button when the music transitioned to piano but then I realized I had previously beat myself to the punch.

I legit just shed a tear. This is beautiful.

Youre covets guitarist!? Im already a fan and i didnt even know lmao thanks youtube 💙 keep on rockin in the free world and doot doo da loot loo

Now my ears are blessed. One of the more beautiful things I heard in months. AMAZING!

wow i got the chills

He left The Shire to deliver this performance

So wonderful. I think I've played it 10 times now.

Wow that was really great. Brings back memories of simpler times.

I cannot express how much I love this. Fantastic.

Utada Hikaru

This is up there, I love how simple and clean it is. It's real and heartfelt like the original. Love having a male voice to hear in it too, as I've been singing this song for dang near 20 years now. Inspiring!

Yvette appealed to my love of math rock/djent, and now she appealed to little gamer heart. God she is so cool.

When I realized you guys were playing all the instruments too ... Oh man. Just added this to my favorites. There's a really ephemeral version of this song done by Mree, but you guys just cornered the market on the acoustic version. Love it. Thank you

Damn, this hurted in my childhood memories I'm not crying. . . you are. and so am I

So happy to see Damien and Yvette collab together again

Hey, I love So Much Light, I thought that was him but I haven't seen him with that long of hair.

Didn't know you sang! Wonderful cover of a great song, thank you both!

Yes please more of this

That was like the only thing worth listening to that I've heard in the last 5 years.
