The softness in this caught me by surprise since I'm used to the rock edition but hearing it with a more gentle tone really is beautiful. Also loving those thalassa earrings!
Nate's version is definately Roxas to me- suits his hot-tempered personality (he's Sora wirh No Chill, basically). This version makes me think more of Xion, who is more of a sad, tragic character. Nate's version is epic, but this one is soft and beautiful. I like both!
Nate's a version of both Roxas's and Lea's sides of the story combined while Tara's is Namine's and Xion's sides combined. Both are amazing in my opinion
I just need a mix of the two songs. Letting her play the softer parts (ex breakdown 2, verse 2 and maybe even the outro) while Nate covers breakdown 1, verse 1 and a mix for both of them during the chorus
What? No its not, its Axel. Its obvious that it Axel that it hurts. Hold on to you is completely an Axel song with a bit of Xion. Read the lyrics dude, its literally Axel's whole character. He even says it as Lea, his catchphrase is literally used to make sure that he will be remembered by everyone he meets as his biggest fear is being forgotten
I want either a female version or a piano version, and you gave me both. Your cover is absolutely beautiful. I was rendered speechless fro a good few minutes after hearing this.
Oh damn her voice is so close to Xion in that metal part of the original. That caught me so off guard but it was truly fitting. Fantastic as the original.
Back in the day, me and my friends used to enjoy Kingdom Hearts, and I used to draw my own keyblade designs. This really brings me back to the good old days.
where Nate had screamo you had it a lot more gentle than the rest of the song and I say it sounded really nice. Loved the cover 10/10 would listen to again
this is so good! honestly, I'm not a fan of Nates super heavy stuff, so that part after the first chorus always bothered me. I like how you changed it here, it's really good.
This is like a lullaby version and I love it!!! I love how you sing the lyrics so softly (especially the chorus) yet still manage to make hit just as hard!!! Fricking love this!
*fangirling and screaming* 30 minutes pass by *deep breath* WOW! TARA! This is absolutely PHENOMENAL! I feel like your voice fits this song more than Nate's rock version (sorry, Nate), and it sounds perfect! Every thing about this song is awesome; the mixing, the vocals, the instrumentals! KYA!!!!! >0
Wow wow wow. This song is great and magical. The lyrics and melody is nothing I ever have heard before. Tara you are the best. I am listening and a fan too.
I loved the original, which is praise coming from me since I don't normally like metal, and I love this version even more! I also love how it goes from Roxas to Axel to Xion and then back to Roxas in the ending lines. Very beautiful!
I love the rock cover, and this is beautiful, too. I got chills from your voice and even more at the refrain. You're amazing, and I can't wait to hear more of your music!
Wasn't expecting you to reply! No problem! I love this song and your voice is so pretty! Mine is horrible.. You can hear it on my channel..! And also I was gonna cover this song to! Yayz!
This was amazing I loved it. I love Kh and I love this song. Keep up the great work. (Btw love your earrings how they are the shape of the shell you see the sea drag away in KH2 opening)
Amazing, but I gotta admit something. I was really curious about what you were gonna do during the screamo segment but you changed it well to keep the peaceful tone.
OMG! THIS COVER IS AMAZING! I did not expect to like such a soft cover but i love it! I use Nates version in some action scenes in my videos, would it be ok to use your soft cover for the end credits of my final series? Obviously i would put you in the credits and description
Love your version of Nathan's original song for kingdom hearts, u should try his other original reclaim your throne for final fantasy XV that would be so cool
Okay, I've searched TH-cam for a favorite Kingdom Hearts Song. I've just found it. Of course, Roxas and Xion are my two favorite characters, so that added to it. I had a request to draw this duo, may I add this song? Of course giving credit of the song to you. When I figure it out. I'm n
Hi, I've been working on a Kingdom Hearts Union Cross Dub and I was wondering if you'd be interested in voicing the Foreteller Ava. I've always loved your videos. Especially the Kingdom Hearts ones. And I thought you could voice Ava or Invi well.

Lol,I know I like nate's version better

To me, i thing nate's version was like telling Axel's story
Kinda like Namnè

Came from Nate's tweet saying he liked it! You have an amazing voice! :D
beastfighter1 same here
beastfighter1 Me too 😋
same
a softer version of the song... It's so soothing and the feels are just as raw... awesome job
Her voice is kind of like Nate (if he was a girl) mixed with AmaLee. The acoustic just makes it that much better because of that.
I want either a female version or a piano version, and you gave me both. Your cover is absolutely beautiful. I was rendered speechless fro a good few minutes after hearing this.
Dude, your voice is the voice I'd imagine as Xion's voice, so this is absolutely perfect!
Oh damn her voice is so close to Xion in that metal part of the original. That caught me so off guard but it was truly fitting. Fantastic as the original.
Your beautiful cover is like the [After the Battle] to Nate's. Funny how he's NateWantsToBattle. Lol!
Thank you!
I got sent here from NATEWANTSTOBATTLES Twitter account. So good.
Tara, I can't believe Nate actually got to see the video and liked it! HOLY HECKORONI THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Also the Keyblade necklace and the thalassa earrings, the outfit AND the eyeliner game... ALL ON POINT!
Back in the day, me and my friends used to enjoy Kingdom Hearts, and I used to draw my own keyblade designs. This really brings me back to the good old days.

You sounded beautiful ❤😊 you are the beautiful gift of music ❤😊😇
this is so good!
honestly, I'm not a fan of Nates super heavy stuff, so that part after the first chorus always bothered me. I like how you changed it here, it's really good.
Nate has got to hear this
I know but it might get lost so I posted another one
looks we got our answer
Wow, Tara. You did a fantastic job. Singing, mixing, editing, and piano playing. Thanks for uploading this. Beautifully done. :-D
This is like a lullaby version and I love it!!! I love how you sing the lyrics so softly (especially the chorus) yet still manage to make hit just as hard!!! Fricking love this!
Tara, this video is a thing of beauty! At the risk of sounding cliche, you are truly a masterpiece!
It's SOOO beautiful! This is one of my favorites of Nate's and you did it such justice. Love this unique take on the song. Amazing job :)
Not sure which is better, the fact that you did this song or the fact that you did both this and Xion's theme in the same week
damn it, I was not prepared for those vocals
Wow, I think you really nailed it. I see this as a very fitting theme to the end of 358/2 Days.
...chills and goosebumps everywhere... just amazing
Wow this is so amazing Tara!! A real masterpiece... The instrumental and vocals are so beautiful and really suit the message of the song :)
*fangirling and screaming*
30 minutes pass by
*deep breath*
WOW! TARA! This is absolutely PHENOMENAL! I feel like your voice fits this song more than Nate's rock version (sorry, Nate), and it sounds perfect! Every thing about this song is awesome; the mixing, the vocals, the instrumentals! KYA!!!!! >0
Neo Neko Aria When I know you're fangirling harder than I am XD
ねオり/ Neolithia lol it's not "his rock version" it's his song lmao
Aww :3 This is so beutiful! So awesome!
I heard this song on Facebook this version and I tore TH-cam apart searching for this one. I love it. Got yourself a new sub.
Thank you so much!
This was so beautifully amazing!!!
Still listening to this (over and over)
Wow wow wow. This song is great and magical. The lyrics and melody is nothing I ever have heard before. Tara you are the best. I am listening and a fan too.
I loved the original, which is praise coming from me since I don't normally like metal, and I love this version even more! I also love how it goes from Roxas to Axel to Xion and then back to Roxas in the ending lines. Very beautiful!
I GOT MASSIVE CHILLS AT THE CHORUS
Haven't heard the original, but really loved you on this! Loved the piano arrangement/playing here too, just was really great to listen to overall :D
the original is super good too if you like rock music. It does have a bit of screamo tho
I love the rock cover, and this is beautiful, too. I got chills from your voice and even more at the refrain. You're amazing, and I can't wait to hear more of your music!
+SRE thanks! :)
I love your version of this song!
Love this song! Really beautiful!
it is very beautiful, and your voice also makes it very adorable and emotional.
my heart just melted, this is amazing!
Ever thought of doing a duo of this with him??
omg the remember remember part got so soft and i loved it!
Thank you ❤️❤️
God dang! First vid I saw from you, and already I love it!
Tara St. Michel No problem!
As you spoke Xion... Your voice is so similar to hers...Wow!
This is a nice change of pace from Nate's bombastic songs.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Nate, but my God, some of his songs. XD Nice job, Tara!
NIce Channel Icon
Superb!
Wow this is incredible

So beautiful! You've earned yourself a new sub, my friend 😁👍
That was awesome
I really like your voice! Its so pretty! >_

This is so awesome!!
Wasn't expecting you to reply! No problem! I love this song and your voice is so pretty! Mine is horrible.. You can hear it on my channel..! And also I was gonna cover this song to! Yayz!
Thank you so much! That really made my day!!
Are you a siren because every time I listen to you my mind goes blank and I just listened all day to your beautiful voice.
I really love the soft version of this song.
that was really great
ikr she sounds a bit like Nate if he were a girl
beautiful
Your tone is so soft. It makes a delightful contrast with the original. Keep it up
Thanks so much!
Thank you
I love it
This was amazing I loved it. I love Kh and I love this song. Keep up the great work. (Btw love your earrings how they are the shape of the shell you see the sea drag away in KH2 opening)
Tara St. Michel they are pretty also is there anywhere to download your version of the song on itunes
awesome thanks
Dang ok I'm in love with this song
Tara, Nate and Amanda Lee are my favorite TH-cam singers.
Lovely take on the original. I hope you keep growing, you have a beautiful voice.
Thank you!
This is so beautiful, I want to cry
Love it!
Very good
I could totally see this being the credits song for an HD remake of Days
+Daniel Fuller yeah the song fits the game perfectly
Love the song. It's now on my morning playlist. By chance have you heard the opening to Fuuka? If you have a chance would love for a cover.
WHO'S THE JACKWAGON THAT DISLIKED THIS VIDEO????!!!!! WHAT THE DUCK????!!!!! 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆
keep up the good work
no problem
Why can't my voice be that beautiful
When you started xion's theme I cried...
Amazing, but I gotta admit something. I was really curious about what you were gonna do during the screamo segment but you changed it well to keep the peaceful tone.
Yeah it seemed to make the most sense with the piano. Almost like a whisper or a soliloquy.
OMG! THIS COVER IS AMAZING! I did not expect to like such a soft cover but i love it! I use Nates version in some action scenes in my videos, would it be ok to use your soft cover for the end credits of my final series? Obviously i would put you in the credits and description
I love the original but THIS is giving me goosebumbs and made me cry
Thanks so much! I love the original but it was nice to do my own take on the song and kind of imagine myself as Xion in parts.
Love your version of Nathan's original song for kingdom hearts, u should try his other original reclaim your throne for final fantasy XV that would be so cool
You have been noticed by teh Nathan. Also, sounds awesome
nice earring ;) and beautiful singing
Tara St. Michel Cool, i like to make stuff too
my favorite continue singing you are amazing girl
Xion or Namine vibes. Definitely a more lighter, sorrower version. It also sounds more like a message, like something Kairi would send to Sora.
...cute seashell earrings. also, i love the cover xD
Thanks! I actually made those earrings myself in a ceramics class!
I feel like this softer version better fits the song.
Your voice is beautiful uwu...
Honestly I like this a lot more than the original, and I love Nate's music.
Thanks so much! It’s just a different style from the original I tried and apparently that works for this song!
Personally, I think this is better than the original.
Trying hard not to cry... x3
Does this have a different chord progression than the original?
It should be the same, it’s just a different style arrangement
Okay, I've searched TH-cam for a favorite Kingdom Hearts Song. I've just found it. Of course, Roxas and Xion are my two favorite characters, so that added to it. I had a request to draw this duo, may I add this song? Of course giving credit of the song to you. When I figure it out. I'm n
God im so in love with her voice , not saying she isnt a cutie look wise but ey that voice is my new angel
Tara you are amazing your also the first youtuber to actualy respond to these kinda messages
Lol I have the app on my phone so it’s not hard. May be harder as my channel grows to see everything tho haha
still lol you the only one who talks back haha
When did this hit 5000 views?! Have the last two months gone by that fast?
I like your voice
This song makes my heart race haha
"I owe my return to many"
New at making videos.
Hi, I've been working on a Kingdom Hearts Union Cross Dub and I was wondering if you'd be interested in voicing the Foreteller Ava. I've always loved your videos. Especially the Kingdom Hearts ones. And I thought you could voice Ava or Invi well.
This was great. Though I was half expecting to hear the heavy guitar.
Greg Sanders it's acoustic. there's no heavy in it
I can see how maybe that'd be expected considering the original but I actually like what she did with this a bit better.
Natewantstobattle should do a duet of this song with her, and have her sing xions parts
I'd love that! It's his song though, so I guess it'd be up to him.
Tara St. Michel I know he tweeted about liking your cover. Maybe you could reach out to him
I can die in peace now
don't die...
this is really good tho
Don't worry, I didn't mean it literally
I know! But still lol
I enjoyed your voice. And your face reminds me of Marnie Piper from Halloween Town.
Thank you ❤️
Anyone else thinking she should do Colours of the Wind from Pocahontas?
this felt so 80's but great cover nonetheless
