Taylor you’re a gift to this world. I deal with depression and whenever I hear you play it helps me get out of that awful headspace. Thank you for sharing your talents and passion.
I love how she always looks so happy when she's playing. It's the best to watch people play when they're so clearly loving it, and they love their instrument and they love what they're doing. I love the way their eyes just light up like that. It makes me feel happy too.
*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, starting a new journey may not be so hard Or maybe it has already begun. There are many worlds. but they share the same sky one sky, one destiny.*
As a kid I would sit and listen to this during the kingdom hearts credits over and over again. And you played it beautifully. This song is under appreciated so thank you.

Ya know, the beauty of your covers sparks something deep within me. Maybe Determination, maybe old memory's. But either way, the emotion you play into your music is something that is beautiful and graceful beyond words.
I saw these leather shoes and thought: "This is going to be amazing", so I pressed thumb-up and started watching. After the show was over I had to watch it again... and again! :)
This cover is so good I wouldn't be surprised in Square Enix hired you to play in the orchestra of whatever music will be in KH3. You remind me a lot of Kaori from Your Lie in April. You don't just play the violin, you put your entire soul, your entire being, you express your feelings so beautiful into your music. I hope you will continue do create astonishing songs like this one. Especially me being emotionally connected to the Kingdom Hearts series, I'm truly impressed. Kingdom Hearts has made a bigger hole of feels in my heart then any other video game ever. Something about the characters and story is just so amazing and beautiful to me. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of art, and stay awesome! =D
Taylor Davis I have to thank you. This video was a very much needed pat on the back. I haven't been having a good week but this right here mad my whole day. I cant tell you how much this video has made me smile and tear up. seriously Thank you
Kindom Hearts music always makes me want to cry, the second this video started my chest tightened up, oh man the emotions :( One of my all time favorite series of games.
As an violin learner and a Kingdom Hearts fan, i'm very proud that you have some skills to cover this song with a violin. I can't say nothing but, good job. Greetings from Indonesia!
Another absolutely amazing and wonderful cover. Great job as always I'm still hoping to see a Witcher 3 Cover some day. Maybe Cloak and Dagger that would be awesome. Keep up the great work ^^
+Taylor Davis YES! This was the first PS2 game I ever bought, along with FFX, and I loved both soundtracks so much that I had to track them both down (back when shopping malls still had CD stores...) So many great memories of the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack; you really knocked this out of the park.
+Javier G yeah in the new kh3 trailer with master eraqus theres a calander in the back when there playing chess and it represents December so maybe even 2016?
Brilliantly soothing and smooth cover of this song. I like our style of playing its incredibly fluid and somehow you seamlessly shift from note to not...its like butter.
Their styles are too different for a collaboration. Lindsey aims to bring you into a vortex of excitement with her fast-paced music; Taylor instead envelopes you with her harmony and musicality. That's my opinion
***** Did she though? This is great and all, but it's the same arrangement as the orchestral version which appears in all the games. So I don't see how she could have arranged it. Still though, doesn't take away from the piece. It's still beautiful
EpicWingmanXIII I use Logic Pro X to do my orchestrated backtracks, and I write things out with midi data through a keyboard instead of actually writing sheets. Sometimes I'll do way different arrangements from the original song but for this one I tried to stay really close to the original :) For the violin part I just do that by ear since it's audio recorded from my violin!
I remember listening to your old cover of this song which is when I found your channel. This brings back that feeling I had when I first heard it. So amazing
MoXfy Milling Well same song but means different things. Also the tempo on the chorus is MUCH different. But it was the creator of the song who decided to do that. Though I think the original song Hikari suits the Kingdom Hearts franchise better than Simple and Clean.
I don't know Japanese, but I do know that "Hikari" means "light" so I'm assuming that the Japanese version has a different meaning behind the lyrics than Simple & Clean. Same with Sanctuary and Passion
Ucha Nekome I'd say they're both equally different. in Passion there was small play on the backwards track while for Sanctuary they asked Utada to make the whole song that way, and I suppose she'd have to change the lyrics for it a lot.
So I never played kingdom hearts but I know the story. Is this the song that played at the end of the first one when sora was being separated from kari
TheZephyrStorm it is the main theme of the first song and several of the other games. It is the most commonly used song. It was in the intro and outro of KH1 and is used for basically every trailer in a remix form.
To whoever showed Taylor what is a violin back in the days...Thank you and I love you, you make my life brighter every single day :) Beautiful as always, you never disappoint us Taylor :)
I have to be honest, I do love the things that Lindsey Stirling does. But Taylor Davis holds a special place in my heart given the fact that I saw her on TH-cam when she posted only her second video! So while there are others out there who do sole violin videos, Taylor seems to put music back into my heart which is why I love her channel so much more!!!! :)
This album has been sat on my iphone for the last few years, this is making me feel all nostalgic- and I' couldn't care less about the games personally! Beautiful.
I love how in every video you manage to continuously smile and you look like your enjoying yourself so much. I would like to say thank you for taking the time to make videos like so, for us, your subscribers😊 You must put a lot of time and effort to create these videos along with some help of course but anyways wonderful job!
So glad I found and subscribed to this channel. The music is absolutely stunning and when you pair it with the serene sounds of the waves crashing against the rocks you have an absolute feast for the ears. You are amazing Taylor and I hope you continue to put out excellent music.
I knew her channel before she got 300'000 subs, and now I am happy to see the development of the channel, because I really think that she deserve all her success, she has A Talent. (Excuse me for my bad English, I am Swiss)
Oh my god this was amazing. i have only just come across your work by pure fluke and this is an incredible version of a song i love. Can't wait to hear more of your work
Literally made me tear up a bit! I already loved this song and the nostalgia that comes with it but to hear it be played on a violin so wonderfully made it so much better! You have a great talent Taylor don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
This is absolutely breathtaking!
:O I CAN'T EVEN
***** I saw your videos, 5 minutes later she post her videos, all two of Kingdom Hearts, can it be must perfect?
***** I just saw your video! Amazing!
***** So weird that i just watched yours :D (Edit: Oh, it shows up your cover in the end. *facepalm* lol )
***** Aww thank you Amanda! Your Dearly Beloved is amazing, I hope that everyone here will check your video out!!
Taylor you’re a gift to this world. I deal with depression and whenever I hear you play it helps me get out of that awful headspace. Thank you for sharing your talents and passion.
The people who disliked this video must be heartless. Literally!
I love how she always looks so happy when she's playing. It's the best to watch people play when they're so clearly loving it, and they love their instrument and they love what they're doing. I love the way their eyes just light up like that. It makes me feel happy too.

Taylor Davis Any time! Never stop being awesome! :D
There can never be enough Hikari on the Internet. NEVER. :D

Taylor Davis I have to thank you. This video was a very much needed pat on the back. I haven't been having a good week but this right here mad my whole day. I cant tell you how much this video has made me smile and tear up. seriously Thank you
Kindom Hearts music always makes me want to cry, the second this video started my chest tightened up, oh man the emotions :( One of my all time favorite series of games.

As an violin learner and a Kingdom Hearts fan, i'm very proud that you have some skills to cover this song with a violin. I can't say nothing but, good job. Greetings from Indonesia!
Awesome. This music bring me feelings that it's hard even to explain.
the sound of the ocean waves were an incredible addition to your already beautiful violin playing 😍

i would LOVE to see a Taylor Davis and Lindsey Stirling collab. Perhaps the Dueling Violins? (its a violin duet piece) Like if you agree!
Demogarose I would love that! Lindsey is awesome and such a nice person so it would definitely be fun ;)
if they did a duel id prob say taylor davis would win but thats my opinion but a collab would be awesome
Well lindsey does hers with dancing so without dancing i am sure she is better.lol

You continue to take my breath away with every note you play.
Another absolutely amazing and wonderful cover. Great job as always I'm still hoping to see a Witcher 3 Cover some day. Maybe Cloak and Dagger that would be awesome. Keep up the great work ^^
Cosplay Armory Witcher 3 is in the works ;) Can't wait to film for it!
Yay looking forward to it. If you want a sword or two for your back I'd be willing to work on that. I want to cosplay as Geralt someday.
+Taylor Davis YES! This was the first PS2 game I ever bought, along with FFX, and I loved both soundtracks so much that I had to track them both down (back when shopping malls still had CD stores...)
So many great memories of the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack; you really knocked this out of the park.
Taylor Davis Just take my money now kthanks.
Taylor Davis Hype!
Simple and clean is the way your making me feel tonight, Taylor!!!!!!!!!
Just found your channel and..
You are literally the next Lindsey Stirling
You're so amazing....
only one thing to say: thank you very much for that moment.
Your work is amazing
Kh3 You soon be mine hahahahaha
And this amazing !
"Soon"
+Javier G it will be sooner than that
Javier G Don't *say* *that* *cause* *if* *it* happens I'm *blaming* *you* !
+Javier G yeah in the new kh3 trailer with master eraqus theres a calander in the back when there playing chess and it represents December so maybe even 2016?
FabuLIZ yeaa doubt it
this brought tears to my eyes. BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Absolutely beautiful and brilliant. We need to keep the hype up for KH III and what better way than to relive the first game's music. :)
Flegan777 Thank you! Ahh I know, I can't wait for that game...it's been so long!
Taylor Davis You're very welcome. Me neither, it's been far too long. :D
So amazing! That music is one of the music that made me cry . Thanks for this beautiful music
OH MY GOD YES
My face lit up when I saw this in my subscription box, such an amazing track
OldFashionedKO aww thanks I'm happy to hear that!
+Taylor Davis haz tutoriales por favor taylor, ayudame, quiero que me enseñes algunos que temas que tocas, me encantan tus videos
Taylor Davis you are really Great i Love all of your songs
Brilliantly soothing and smooth cover of this song. I like our style of playing its incredibly fluid and somehow you seamlessly shift from note to not...its like butter.
Anyone else here from the final Sakurai presents? :')
Sora is finally in smash. What a great way to end a hard working man's career.
#thankyousakurai
I'm here too. That's more than enough reason to watch this.
Being a gamer all my life & to be able to enjoy your work is sublime!
Thank you for bringing back all these wonderful memories.
I love your work.
IN THIS MOMENT...I LOVE YOU
eduardo blanco KINGDOM HEARTS 4EVER!
llega al alma :_D
+eduardo blanco Lo malo es que se acabara en el KH3 ;'(
+ReoNekky Nop, KH III marcara el final de esta saga y empezara otra despues
todo el mundo sabe que los verdaderos juegos son kingdom hearts 1 y 2 (espero que el 3 tambien)
I literally opened TH-cam and this is the first thing I see I absolutely love it!!!!!!!!!!
Taylor, This is so beautiful. Thank you for bringing back my childhood. If Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out, would you also make Covers of it?
Captain toad red toad mickey mario Jason red ranger
this song makes me cry for many reasons...but it always will make me happy and sad at the same time...thank you for your music and your violin
Man it would be awesome to see a duet video of you and Lindsey Stirling.
I thought i was the only one
I thought this already happened.... Hmm
BlackStar Freeman it hasn't. Probably rivals.
Shame because they could easily tell quite the story with their, majorly, different styles of violin.
IIRC, They aren't rivals, they just haven't done a video together. That would be the bee's knees.
Their styles are too different for a collaboration. Lindsey aims to bring you into a vortex of excitement with her fast-paced music; Taylor instead envelopes you with her harmony and musicality. That's my opinion
Beautiful to my eyes
Heavenly to my ears
Peaceful to my mind
Your violin playing is absolutely one of a kind
could you post the music sheet for this, or tell me where you found it, this is amazing.... i love you music
She arranged it by ear (as always)
***** Did she though? This is great and all, but it's the same arrangement as the orchestral version which appears in all the games. So I don't see how she could have arranged it. Still though, doesn't take away from the piece. It's still beautiful
***** thats hard, i can barely do that, but i would still love to find the music sheet
Noah Duncan sorry I didn't make sheets for my version!
EpicWingmanXIII I use Logic Pro X to do my orchestrated backtracks, and I write things out with midi data through a keyboard instead of actually writing sheets. Sometimes I'll do way different arrangements from the original song but for this one I tried to stay really close to the original :) For the violin part I just do that by ear since it's audio recorded from my violin!
THIS HAS OFFICIALLY EARNED YOU A SUBSCRIBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You so much!!!!!!! God bless your soul!!!
This reminds me of Ventus Aqua and Terra having fun before the sad things happened
I remember listening to your old cover of this song which is when I found your channel. This brings back that feeling I had when I first heard it. So amazing
damn i'm way to use to the english names of the KH songs so i was like "the hell is this song?? ohh it's that one"
MoXfy Milling Well same song but means different things. Also the tempo on the chorus is MUCH different. But it was the creator of the song who decided to do that. Though I think the original song Hikari suits the Kingdom Hearts franchise better than Simple and Clean.
Yea i was just pointing out that im use to the english names of the songs
I don't know Japanese, but I do know that "Hikari" means "light" so I'm assuming that the Japanese version has a different meaning behind the lyrics than Simple & Clean. Same with Sanctuary and Passion
Twilight~Prince Sanctuary is closer in meaning to Passion than Simple in Clean is to Hikari though.

Man this brings back so many good memories. A video game hasn't changed my life much like Kingdom Hearts. Thank you for sharing.
Taylor Davis and Ama Lee for Kingdom Hearts 3 please :>}
I've always loved this song (KH and Utada fan since 2002 :P), I love your version and I love the video, such a beautiful place!
So I never played kingdom hearts but I know the story. Is this the song that played at the end of the first one when sora was being separated from kari
TheZephyrStorm it is the main theme of the first song and several of the other games. It is the most commonly used song. It was in the intro and outro of KH1 and is used for basically every trailer in a remix form.
You Never played kingdom hearts and you know the story? Even someone who has played all the games still confused
Brings tears to my eyes... good job you just gained a fan for life
#kingdomheartsislight
To whoever showed Taylor what is a violin back in the days...Thank you and I love you, you make my life brighter every single day :) Beautiful as always, you never disappoint us Taylor :)
2019 anyone? PS: Please do ‘Face My Fears!’
This is a wonderful song in a wonderful setting by a wonderful person. Thank-you for sharing this cover.
I died listening to this. And I died happy.
...but did you _die_?
Every single rendition of this song always manages to bring a tear to my eye.
One of my few immediate subscribes was used here....
This brings back memories of when my life was good thank you for what you do
Does she play the games?
+Nintyfanboy I've played almost all of the games for the songs I cover :) Kingdom Hearts is one of my favorite games!
+Taylor Davis hope to see you in London. Thank you for your music :3

PwnMasterTheLegend KH is sadder than Naruto...
Paulo Victor It was a joke. I know kingdom hearts is sadder.
Oh..

i feel like i've heard this before... not shure why
***** ya i've definatley heard this before
***** think....... i dont think i played something like this in orchestra, so im not shure where but im shure i've heard this before
Idk it's from a Disney video game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Grace Hofer have not played a single disney video game
***** this song is from the game Kingdom Hearts. the game is a collaboration between Square Enix and Disney
Found you awhile back thanks to your previous Kingdom Hearts covers. It's awesome to see you revisit this and add to the piece....You rock Taylor!
I bet the score for this started with a clef-blade.
...I'm sorry.
GET OUT
Lovely, lovely, lovely work of art!!! My gosh, I'm crying! T~T KH nostalgia is really the best!
2 Seconds in and I can already tell she's richer than me.
I watched your first hikari version like 100 times and this is even better.
Thank You :3
omg. i loved this soooo much. i was about to cry. this was amazing.
the way you play it sounds soo beautiful. thank you for making this
I think it's awesome how you've got this massive smile on your face while you're playing. It's awesome 👍
This album has been sat on my iphone for the last few years, this is making me feel all nostalgic- and I' couldn't care less about the games personally! Beautiful.

I love how in every video you manage to continuously smile and you look like your enjoying yourself so much.

I'm glad sometimes to be home alone, so i can cry freely to beautiful music like this
Every song you play is a great delight to my ears and my heart they are very comfortable.You do a great job...
So glad I found and subscribed to this channel. The music is absolutely stunning and when you pair it with the serene sounds of the waves crashing against the rocks you have an absolute feast for the ears. You are amazing Taylor and I hope you continue to put out excellent music.

The ocean in the background really helps set the mood.
I knew her channel before she got 300'000 subs, and now I am happy to see the development of the channel, because I really think that she deserve all her success, she has A Talent.
(Excuse me for my bad English, I am Swiss)
