Would have made for a better character arc if Vanitas said he never got to choose (cuz I seriously doubt Xehanort would have even let him choose to join the guardians of light)
Vanitas is a bit of a tragic character. In the manga, he was originally depicted as having the head of a typical Shadow heartless, albeit with red eyes rather than yellow. He was physically incapable of experiencing positive emotion - where others felt joy and contentment, he felt depression and despair. These emotions grew to be strong enough to manifest physically as the Unversed. Vanitas was frightened by them, and struck them down with his keyblade - but every time he did so, he felt a surge of unbearable, body-wide pain. This caused yet more strong negative emotions, creating more Unversed and angering Vanitas, slowly becoming disgusted with his own existence. He cuts them down again and again, waves of agony tearing through his body, until he can take no more; he falls to the ground in tears, wishing for death. Master Xehanort approaches Vanitas in his fragile state and tells him, coldly, that the only release from his tormented existence is to one day re-unite with his other half and forge the X-Blade. He then hears a voice echo from within himself and sees a bright light before a familiar voice calls to him and says 'Let's open the door.' He takes off his mask to find he's been given a new face - that of a certain young man from the Destiny Islands. So, in hindsight - Vanitas' obscene preoccupation with rejoining Ventus and forging the X-Blade isn't because he agrees with Master Xehanort's plan - it's because he hates living, he hates what he is, and he desperately wishes for the pain to end.
This song doesn’t feel evil. It just feels.... sad. Broken down, like you’re about to give up after a long and difficult fight... 😢 The sorrow definitely sticks.
That is does. It sings of a sad, broken, hollowing tragedy. I can see it being the song to a tragic villian. Someone who's only evil because they never got a chance for anything else. And hides what they really feel in order to achieve what they think they need. Or, a hero who's been pushed past their brink by loss and can't hold the same hope anymore as they turn to the darker side. (Yes. I am a writer. And I eat this shit up.)
As you say, the song is mainly composed by piano and this feeling of melancholy and overall tragedy. But i think that the reason of why this song sound like this is...deep. Cause evil peoples are just heros that never be saved
@@AuthorChanUltimaWeapon Have you met true evil? Faced true evil? They're rarely someone sad and misunderstood - they just think they are. And that the pain they create or imagine for themselves entitles them to hurt others. To take from others. When in reality they live blessed lives in comparison to many who truly know the meaning of struggling on. They enjoy it, either the act of harming others, or the sense of twisted justice and revenge... even though no one specifically sought to hurt them in the first place. They're not heroes who were never saved, they already believe they are the hero. The entitled, the fascist, the narcissist, the psychotic, the manipulator... these are evil.
@@Kayriel just as the capacity for evil exists within all, the capacity for good does. Someone who is true evil never realized that capacity, either through their own choice, being mentally unwell and never helped with their problems, or outside forces. People are born inclined towards evil and must be lead towards good, and many evil people can be redeemed. But actions such as helping the mentally ill are nearly impossible, as the world is ruled by greed and those who point fingers instead of recognizing their faults.
"I can't stop. I have to keep doing my part. Maybe if I travel enough, I'll be able to right some wrongs. Maybe do something to prevent all of the bad I keep seeing."
Idk who is this Karl Jacobs everyone keep talking about, nor what he did, I just came here because I like KH and it got my attention. Just wanted to say that this is truly appreciated without any reference to someone else's quote
He used this song in a really important scene in his series “Tales From The SMP” on Twitch. This song is so lovely, and I’ve been looking at more Kingdom Hearts stuff because of this, i would love to play it
Its about karl jacobs who does roleplay in minecraft and his role is a time traveler If u want to watch it click this go to the person channel to find more of it: th-cam.com/video/encwYOCPp2M/w-d-xo.html and karl uses this after the story part when he goes to the "inbetween" and every time he travels he slowly loses memory but the "inbetween" always has a book that says "dont forget even your closest friends" or sum like that and after the "inbetween" he goes to this cave thing where he writes down the things that happened so he doesnt forget or somthing. The dream smp theres alot of people and alot of storylines. Each individual stories connect to each other and u get all the peices to understand why this happened. The eggpire is very smart coz one of karls story theres also an egg that has techno as sir billiam then in the dsmp the egg said in backwards "you looks familiar" "do i know you?" the egg goes into different story/timelines even out of the smp. Very smart of the script writter.
This is so fitting for Vanitas because you can hear the tragedy and pure sorrow that rings out underneath the melody- a constant reminder of the darkness that plagues him, a reminder that he's alone after being torn away from Ventus. Your heart breaks just listening to the constant cry of help.
Anyone who's suffered from a broken heart/isolation/PTSD for 4+ years day-in, day-out can relate; no doubt. I unwittingly cursed myself with a self-fulfilling prophecy I didn't even realize I had manifested for myself until reflecting retrospectively to 5 years ago
Thought is real, physical is the illusion. As ironic as it is, our eyes don't actually show us what is reality. What exists in your head will bleed into your life whether you want it to or not. You cannot hide from yourself, nor can you run from the truth; for what's happened has already happened. The watchers and the anunnaki have been observing us for several solar rotations of their planet, Nibiru, because of its elliptical orbit, that translates to roughly 7,200 years or longer since the calculated and measured length of its rotation around our sun by NASA has been proven to be 3,600 years. Which explains why deities have arisen in certain Greek, Roman, Egyptian or Nordic mythologies over the course of human existence. In the Mesopotamian days of Babylonia and Sumer, there were several different versions of what humans perceived to be there all knowing creator: Yah or Weh, which was later adopted by the judeo Christians as Yahweh. The reason why we have different versions of God as being benevolent or graceful or all loving, and sometimes we perceive him to be a wrathful jealous or vengeful God is because they were different gods living among us in the days of the Sumerians. They wrote down their experiences and their day-to-day lives and how they would hike towards their temples on their mountains to give offerings and worship them in person. We all know about the ancient images of clay tablets depicting astronauts satellites and rocket ships, no one wants to explain why they exist or why they're there because it would completely up and everything we know about human religion and history. Our records are actually off by about 2,000 years according to the book of Exodus when compared to the Sumerians story of creation in the Numa El'ish. It is in this book that you can find one of the first laws ever given to Man by Hammurabi: an eye for an eye. Anyone who thinks these traditions that we've upheld by societal standards for generations such as agriculture, government, militarized armies and medicine were human concepts then you are sadly mistaken. Just like in the assassin's Creed games, there was a race of hyperintelligent highly Advanced people who came to us and descended from the heavens and what we perceived as guilded chariots that levitated because we couldn't comprehend modern science as we know it today. We couldn't comprehend lift, thrust propulsion or hovercraft technology. We couldn't perceive these great notions and ideas that were taught to us because we were simply cave people descended from apes on the plains of Africa. The Annunaki and our creators indentured the Neanderthals as I'm working for us to mine our planet's minerals because it's true that our crust mantle was rich with gold and other rare minerals at one point in ancient times. That's why humans pursued the mythological city of El Dorado for centuries. They spliced our DNA in technologically advanced laboratories and they created the homo sapien by removing an evolutionary Gene that was supposed to grant us tails and because they played God and messed with life, that's why humankind has evolved to have so many defects that make it very difficult for our species to live on this planet because we are mutated from an alien race that we can't even contact now. I know what you are reading you will believe to be insanity or the ramblings of a madman, but these are not conspiracy theories these are proven archaeologic discoveries that have been hidden by our world leaders to prevent chaos and anarchy because aliens do in fact exist, we were manufactured, our only purpose as a species was to be indentured servants or minors or slaves, and we were to be wiped out in a great flooding of the entire planet which you can find evidence of occuring in every recorded religion. Ancient humans bore witness to a mass flooding that wiped out most of our species, but it was only because one of our creators, the snake God and key who has been labeled as a devil by modern religion, was actually the one deity who wanted us to survive because he had actually grown fond of our development and our potential. I'm not asking you to believe me, but what I say is true, why do you think an entire team of people continue to make assassin's Creed games based around these stories? It's not all myth there is a semblance of truth to all religions, but no one on earth has gotten it 100% correct. No one really knows what's going on, we all choose what we want to believe, thus is the beauty of human existence. We all create our own purpose in life. If you have any morality or any conscious, you will watch the movie arrival from 2016, heed its message, and strive to make the world a better place by uniting the nations of the world. Go in peace, one love. Send Good vibes and energy into The ether through meditation. That is the only way to ascend to 5D consciousness. Find your enlightenment.
@@SkitaTeachYou manga is not canon. Vanitas is theorized to be one of the pure, original darknesses. It lines up with his dialogue exchange between him, Ventus, and Sora, saying he IS darkness. Also, Union X showed Ventus was taken over by an original darkness. This song mostly plays on the fact that Vanitas knows all he was, and ever will be, is darkness.
“Don’t forget who you are” - Karl Jacobs “A scattered dream that’s like a far off memory. A far off memory that’s like a scattered dream. I want to line the pieces up. Yours and mine.” - Kingdom Hearts 2 Hey people who are here from Karl’s stream!!! This quote is from kingdom hearts and this song reminded me of it and the quote reminded me of this stream. Tell me what you think ;)
karl’s music choice is INSANE. like that ending got me emotional and gave me chills BECAUSE of this song. He’s an amazing content creator and this song was just the cherry on top :)
@@darkdevo4375 Is kingdom hearts that good?? Like i'm not really into the visuals. My standards got reeaaaal high because of genshin, and genshin is my first open world rpg
Being so used to the normal version, and with the original carrying the idea of “light and happiness, with maybe a touch of melancholy,” turning it into this darker, more bitter kind of arrange... wow it’s super effective. Goes to show how just changing the key can convey something totally different. This hits my heart in a super particular way. edit : Next person to say they agree gets to agree with my nuts. Sora’s in smash bitches!!
Dude... this made me think of a potential title for such a game. Kingdom Hearts: Darkness It would feature an unlikely alliance between Vanitas and Riku & Terra. The three characters most closely tied to darkness. No idea what the plot would be, but how cool would that be?
@@rainestoehr431 maybe not the vanitas as part of a trio part, but a game about Terra and Riku adventuring together would be awesome. I’d prefer to see Vanitas as the antagonist of that game rather a trio member
@@MichaelPickering29 I think Vanitas has the potential to be a good character. Maybe not a hero, more of an anti-hero, or maybe even an anti-villain. I just think he needs a little help is all. A friend who accepts him as he is. And I think Ventus hopes the same for him.
True, I found it from being used in a series called "Tales from the smp" and let's just say my heart has been crushed and pain is the only thing I know- Okay, I'm exaggerating but it's still painful-
I wouldn't say that this is evil. Dearly beloved is bittersweet. This one is just straight up depressing. Sounds like someone is drowning in despair. I love it.
Pov: you haven't watched minecraft content in years and have no idea what these people are going on about in this comment section, you just like kingdom hearts.
I- I recommend Tales from the smp, the lost city of Mizu ( towards the very end) if you want any context, it introduced me to this song, it's so good. The emotional impact it has was just such a good way to compliment the scene.
@@xthegodzombie I can't get it and I've tried watching let's plays but it's just not really my cup of tea, idk I just felt like it wasn't going anywhere. It still seems like a great game though!!
@Artic_wolf oof-, I know from having tried and failed to understand it, how confusing it is and I respect everyone in the fandom who knows wtf is going on
This is like game over music, While dearly beloved sounds like new beginnings with a building sense of hope, This conveys the opposite very melancholy a slight feeling of despair, loss, and the end of ones journey prematurely.
oh god, that phrase would suit Vanitas very well in a Game or story of his own. a Story where Vanitas is learning about light and friendship, where Vanitas learns to deal with his inner demons and where he is seen as "an Antihero". But... In the end, he must protect the people he loves and makes a difficult decision.
This is honestly what goes through my head when I remember my cousin, she passed away recently, But she was the one who got me into kingdom hearts at a young age. Will never forget her. Rest in peace Haley.
karl is a dsmp streamer, also a mrbeast member. he plays a time traveler who loses his memory everytime he travels. there is one tale left for him to uncover. In tale 5, he went to the lost city of mizu, and when he was finished writing down what happened, he played this song and wrote, "Don't forget who you are." hope this helped :)
This song do not really sound evil, (this doesn't mean that this song isn't beatiful, at the contrary, it's fantastic) it sound like sad, dpressing,melancholic or something like that, it make feel does emotion or negative emotion in general
@@mirion3383 There are generally three kinds of evil and the difference is merely the intent behind the actions. There is evil for the sake of another, whether that be killing out of self defense, stealing to feed your kids or getting caught in shady business to help your dying wife. These are all evils done in the name of a good cause, it doesn't make the method right, but it has a good ultimate intent behind them. I would call this kind of evil... a mistake. Then there is evil for a reason that is ignoble. This is the second worst kind of evil. You kill someone not out of self defense because you hate them or they're "in the way". You steal to force someone's business out of business or to cause them strife. You do shady business to exact revenge. These actions are the same as the previous ones, but the intent changes their category. These actions are what I call acts of evil. Then there's the last category, doing evil for the sake and or fun of it. You kill because it's fun or because you don't value life at all. You steal because you can with no need for the items you stole. You get involved in shady business for n reason in particular. These people... they were either born past the moral line of no return, or they crossed it with their actions over time. These actions are PURE evil and the people who commit them are known as MONSTERS... this is what it means to be a monster. Some monsters are born, some are made, none can be cured, they're beyond the point of morality.
this makes me think of all the people that have disappeared without a trace. maybe people who are being missed right now, who people are looking for. but even moreso, the people who are invisible-who are dying or are lost and no one even knows, for whom no one even feels their absence. i imagine this song is what it would feel like to know moments before your end that that is your destiny-that no one is going to know what happened to you.
This song describes my state of mind right now...the process of trying to be an better person but tumbling down over and over again with that little ray of hope keeping you going.
Hello Tales of the SMP people, welcome to our pride and joy, the Kingdom Hearts series. We may have a little bit of a confusing storyline, but we can appreciate the music all the same. I just want to say that KarlJacobs, you're an absolute goat for choosing Kingdom Hearts as an inspiration. Here's to even more Tales!
This is probably one of my favorite musical pieces of all time. It has the hint of a melancholic, but peaceful darkness. Everything about this version of Dearly Beloved hits home for me. And, not in a bad way.
I wish we had some DLC for Kingdom Hearts 3 that would let us play Vanitas, as he basically decides (through some exposure to Sora and Ventus as well as his horrible treatment from Xehanort) that he'd rather take the X-Blade for himself. He suffered the most, he deserves it. He'd basically have boss battles against both the Organization 13 and the Warriors of Light, at the end facing Xehanort in what could be called an Evil vs Evil scenario. Maybe it could give Vanitas some characterisation that he always hated Xehanort, that he was abit jealous of Ventus and that Vanitas now cannot be anything but a monster because of what happened to him. Basically telling Xehanort his plans of remaking the world through Darkness are bullshit because he's just as dark, if not moreso than Vanitas, a figure of literal fucking darkness. At the end, Vanitas would hold the X-Blade, standing alone in the wasteland of Scada Et Caelum or the Keyblade Graveyard. No voices, nobody standing with him. Just the hollow wind roaring past his hair. After celebrating abit to himself, Vanitas would realize he has nothing except the X-Blade, giving him potentially untold power. And yet there's only one other thing he has to give himself: a question. "What now?" Roll credits, leaving it ambiguous if he would destroy the world, or if he'd want to live in it. I think it's best that way, giving Vanitas some sense of ambiguity that, if he had character development, would he still choose evil? Or would he get some sort of redemption arc and want to seek happiness? Or maybe some twisted form of both, as Xehanort raised him to be happy doing evil things?
Chirinthy: "Time. It allows us to grow and change and see what consequences our actions take. It allows us to look at what came before, and ponder about what might come after.... Many times we think of what could be, and what would be, but those thoughts are not left to our world line... they escape to the others. They are left to.... *_**Cue Title Card and Music begins to play. **_* Kingdom hearts: WorldLine; Vanitas.
@@maruzana7288 I have absolutely no game making knowledge, but I wouldn't mind taking a crack at writing the story. Can't do worse than how KH3 turned out? XD (Sorry if that offends, just my own salty thoughts on how KH3 turned out)
@@GentlemanAeon777 No hard feelings but of everything I feel the story could have used more kingdom hearts. I mean we had like eleven plot threads to tie up and none of them got a very pretty resolution besides Sora and Kairi. But we knew that. We were hoping for that. For me the problem came in that I kinda wanted everybody to have a somewhat happy ending. I still kinda want the lingering emotional turmoil that xehanort brought to the BBS trio to get resolved. I really do. but it just won't happen that easily and with out the good writing behind it. I wanted vanitas to get some closer on who he was. we might get that later down the line as we learn what DARKNESS actually is but I was wanting him to come to terms with him and ventus. Selfish as i wanted the plot to go my way. but I still felt it left something to be told.
Decided to come back here after a little over half a year of my first dog’s passing. I played this for her before we went to the vet to send her on her way. I lost other pets before but nothing hit as hard as losing the dog I had for 13 years of my life. I still have periods where I just need to sit and feel sad, even though by now I have a new pup in my life who’s extremely loving and well behaved and is just a great dog I still sometimes find myself sad and depressed over losing the dog I raised up from the neighbors litter. I’m glad I was able to have one last moment with her and now this music hits way closer and what I played at one point for relaxing and soothing now just sounds like the epitome of depression and almost numbness. I tear up but I can’t quite cry anymore like there’s a stopper in the damn keeping it from breaking. It isn’t the sharp pain I remember from a while back when we lost her, but now it’s a dull constant, just like how the song has an ever present feeling of washing over you but never directly hitting you, just passing through as it plays on. Rest in peace good girl, knowing I will always love and miss you
He used this song in a really important scene in his series “Tales From The SMP” on Twitch He makes pretty cool content, and I was very glad to see Kingdom Hearts being a bit featured in his stream
@@magentist5580 Will you tell me which episode? I'll check out the bit with Kingdom Hearts in it to see if it's up my alley. Always down to enjoy more KH things and more roleplay, tbh.
My grandpa is about to die. I love him so much, but I know that I have to let him go as his time comes. And this song is exactly what I feel right now deep inside my heart.
R.I.P. Christopher Kevin Johnson. Born 1/16/1967 Boulder Colorado to 3/7/2022 San Antonio Texas. Thank you for being a great Dad and fighting the wars so that we could all live free.
some minecraft man named karl jacobs who also is in the mr beast team did a thing in minecraft where he time traveled and he used this as the music when he writes down everything that happened in that other world so he doesn’t forget cause time traveling takes away his memory. It’s also used when exploring the inbetween, another thing i’m not getting into. if you want you can search up “Lost city of Mizu” to find it.
Not a tales of smp viewers just a kingdom hearts fan who wants to know deeper about kingdom hearts and found this beautiful song. May your heart be your guiding key
Most people are here from Tales of the SMP Anyone else here because Kingdom Hearts? Please tell me I’m not the only one here because of Kingdom Hearts. Edit: The replies range from "what is Minecraft" to "what is Kingdom Hearts" to DSMP hate and I think I saw one hating on KH. Lol.
I'm here cause of kingdom hearts, dearly beloved is one of my favorite songs, and hearing it in this type of tone hits different. Very well done version of the song, i really enjoyed it
I can relate to this in a way that I can no longer relate to the original. I can only feel pain, but sadness is a pain that I like feeling. It's elusive, but ... you have delivered it. How wonderful.
“Am I evil? Or is it this world… is it wrong to be tired? Tired of being thrown away like a broken item by society and those I considered friends? I wish I could feel anything… first I felt sadness, then rage, now I just feel nothing… I am not the one who is wrong, it’s this sick world that is wrong. And that is why, I WILL BURN THIS BROKEN WORLD TO THE GROUND”
I always felt that this version should be called "Till death do us part". Only since the the original is Dearly beloved, sounds a little like wedding vows so to oppose that till death do us part to fit the feeling of it. Really love the way this version sounds
If you cannot find the light in the darkness... You simply aren't looking hard enough. The brightest lights always shine in the deepest of darkness's. Edit: wow, that's more likes than I expected to get. Nice
@@grendargaming1746 While I am not someone who devotes the majority of my time to the study of philosophy, I am certainly not ignorant in it. "Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil." John 3: 19 NET "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth by their unrighteousness, because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them." Romans 1: 18-19 NET The point I am making (symbolically) is that when someone is unable to see anything good or joyous or hopeful, it is not because there is no light to see or because the light is hidden or far away or behind barriers. It is because they have chosen to look upon and chase after the darkness rather than the light. It is a matter of _will_ and _decision_ rather than inability or even difficulty. This is an ancient and thoroughly discussed perspective on the issue. Perhaps if you didn't pick up on that, you're the one weak in philosophical considerations or history.
It would have been beautifully painful as if it had a melancholic but at the same time nostalgic feeling as if Karl wanted to remember something that he knows but just can't remember. I miss the old days of dsmp (ಥ ᴗ ಥ)
This song makes me feel how I imagine Vanitas feels all the time. Sad, alone, always reaching for the light only to have it turned away from you. This song is the perfect personification of Vanitas from the moment he was born out of the darkness.
Good theory, but Vanitas never reaches for light. He is one of the 13 original darknesses. He embodies who he is and chooses to be with darkness. This lines up with his dialogue between him, Sora, and Ventus in KH3. He IS darkness. The song mostly embodies the emotion that some never seek light, ever. And Vanitas is one of those beings. One to never see the light nor want to.
I enjoy this song due to Kingdom Hearts being basically the only Disney-based thing I can truly enjoy, and because this particular version of the song reminds me of the true reason behind Venitas wanting to forge the X-Blade according to the manga. The deeper, slower tone fits him and his backstory so well and sounds sad with the reverse violin combo.
Darkest isn't evil, so It would make sense that it sounds deep, sad, and depressing and not chaotic and distressing. Also vanitas just wants to be whole again with ven so he probably feels pain from being incomplete
This almost sounds like a “calm before the storm” moment in one of the future KH games. It could be the song playing when you’re walking around one of the new worlds slowing discovering the secrets about the Master of Masters before the final confrontation/boss battle.
"tragedy" if it was a song 😭 I can only feel pity and sorrow from this song, it really gives the impression of a deep feeling, a wonderful work from the remixer 🖤😅✨
T R U E. Well, this is a song from kingdom hearts but in a minor key, and the quotes are from a series called "Tales from the smp" specifically from the 3rd episode "The lost city of Mizu", towards the very end.
When I was watching Karl's stream I knew the song and just didn't get what song it was. Now I'm here and finally understand why it sounded so familiar.
I just lost my Dad a week ago. I honestly don’t want to believe that he’s gone. When I listen to this, I feel like it’s him saying good bye in a way. That he’ll still be here, but he’s trying to push me to go on, but I want to hold on to him & have him still be here with me.
i’ve had this conversation with a friend, while this being about vanitas. we talked about how this could play should you have to play as someone else to kill sora, indefinitely. this song would kind of fit that tragedy because of how much everyone has been through with sora. just imagining it alone would be kind if heartbreaking for this to play during a boss fight against sora and his own heart.
Unrelated to any comments here: This music ran through my head during the epilogue of the book Divine Wind. Rest In Peace, Sierra Gamma 313. You are never forgotten. Find your way home.
The more I hear this the more it sounds similar to aqua, a slowly losing battle, while losing what you are fighting for in the proscess. Changing with the rest of what is happening around them
This songs emotion is like sitting on a cold beach during the fall that you'd usually visit mid summer. as the freezing wind brushes past your face, the ice cold water on your feet makes the sand feel slightly painful but not unbearable... The goosebumps makes you feel something for once, but it's easily recognized as unpleasant... An unpleasant feeling that you can't help but keep enduring. The view is beautiful and the sounds are enchanting, but the cold pain makes you understand that time isn't on your side and that you must act now... The waves feel like they are against you as the tide rolls in. the cold sinking feeling of the ocean grows past your ankles and up to your knees as you watch the sun fall beneath the horizon. If I could describe this song in only two sentences, it would be "I do not want to keep fighting... But I know I must" Dearly beloved, really kingdom hearts as a whole has had such a impact on my life and is one of the very few good nostalgic memories I can look back on in my childhood. This reimagining of dearly beloved feels like it helps me bring closure to the other half of my beginnings that I try to forget. It's dark, yet peaceful melody that is so reminiscent of dearly beloved hits all the right notes. It's a type of nostalgia that makes you reflect on where you've grown as a person. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this reimagining of my favorite song. I wish you all the very best 🗝️♥️
Imagine, kh4 begins, we watched the flashy opening and now we are into our first gameplay cutscene and this is what’s playing, it’s soras friends searching for him calling to him but they cannot find him, they begin to loose hope and the first 30-45 minutes of gameplay is unlike a happy tone like the other games at the start, but rather a more sad beginning with a lingering feeling of despair until the game goes on of course and light is restored or whatever, but it is playing this track because unlike any other game we start out with our hero lost… so instead of the same hopeful feeling we have because our hero is with us, it’s this theme because sora is not there to give our hero’s hope.
im so fucking happy karl used this song in one of his big lore streams. kingdom hearts has been my special interest since i was a young child and im filled with absolutely overwhelming joy!! aaaaaa!!!
When I heard the melody, I recognized it from somewhere, but just couldn't olace from where. Normally dearly beloved is such a happy tune and gives hope, this gives dispair and there is no hope left. Just wow
Vanitas' theme when he's the first primordial darkness of the 13 to become a somebody with actual emotion rather than just a hivemind/entity of straight evil.
This song does not sound dark at all. It gives me a sense of sadness instead. Im in love woth it so I am grateful for it. Also… “Dearly Departed” seems to fit it perfectly. Someone in the comments mentioned something about lost in himself. Would be awesome if it was called something like “Lost within me” or “Lost in me”. This song makes you lose yourself as you feed your ears with it while closing your eyes. Its perfect!!!
Dearly Departed: Are we simply the dreams, aspirations, ideas, thoughts that we are. The ability to be so self aware yet oblivious to those around us. Are we simply destined for darkness, and if so, are we content with that path. The path to darkness. Such a traveled road, but I’ve learned to accept that which I once could not.
@@avvazu9727 I know... like they have barely realized it until know...even tho this was released 2 months ago people should still check out the original
Once upon a time, there was a boy split in twain. One half was light, and the other was darkness. The light half went on to make friends, pursue dreams, and live a happy life. The other made himself a weapon, attempting to steal the happiness from his light half, and met his death because of this. Once upon a time, there was a champion of light, stolen away from friends, family, and home. Through his journey he learned that, even in the deepest darkness, there is a light that never goes out. Once upon a time, there was a young witch, able to create, manipulate, and restore memories all at once. Through her the nature of all hearts was revealed: memories create quantities of light and darkness. Once upon a time, there was a princess born with an extraordinary gift, one of seven. They proved time and again how exceptional they were---though they felt sorrow and anger and jealousy, none of these stuck to their hearts of light, which burns away even the deepest darkness. Once upon a time, there was a dawnwalker. In an attempt to be strong, he had allied himself with the darkness, only to be taken over. Through his effort and the help of friends, he found his way out of the darkest depths and returned stronger in the light. Once upon a time, there was a man whose wrath, jealousy, and pride led him to be taken over by a master of darkness. But on the land where he fell, the people who believed in him called his name, and he broke his bonds through unbreakable will. Once upon a time, there was a time master who tested the very limits of created hearts. He found that the strength of friendship brightened light, and the weakness of isolation deepened darkness. Once upon a time, there was an old man who wanted so desperately the weapon with which to rule the world he would go to forbidden and cruel lengths to get it, using even his apprentice as a tool, a means to his end. Once upon a time, there was a boy split in twain. One half was light, and the other was darkness. The light half went on to make friends, pursue dreams, and live a happy life. The other was made into a weapon, attempting to earn his happiness through his light half, and met his death because of this. Tell me. Could this fate have been different?
I'm a fan of kingdom hearts since I was 6. Now I'm 18 and I'm also a fan of the dream smp. I like Karl's reference but y'all pls get to know kh it's such a beautiful saga it, do not reclaim this song as something related ONLY to dream smp
This song needs to be called Dearly Departed
I call it “lost” because hes lost in darkness and in himself
Never thought of getting this many likes before 😊 thanks
@@myherobeaste7 "The Lost"
@@myherobeaste7 thats deep man, respect
By Shayfer James, Already is a song
Speaking of that title, "Dearly Departed" by Marianas Trench is an amazing song that I recommend to everyone here.
"But I _did_ decide who I am, you see? What I am is darkness."
- Vanitas' final words, KH III
Would have made for a better character arc if Vanitas said he never got to choose (cuz I seriously doubt Xehanort would have even let him choose to join the guardians of light)
@@kungfuvoodoo9889 ooo that would be cool and yeah he probably wouldntve
@@kungfuvoodoo9889 he's suffering
Yeah but he’s not the darkness that’s still in Ventus’ hearts from KHUx (the mobile game)
Okay i believe you.
- Ventus
Vanitas is a bit of a tragic character. In the manga, he was originally depicted as having the head of a typical Shadow heartless, albeit with red eyes rather than yellow. He was physically incapable of experiencing positive emotion - where others felt joy and contentment, he felt depression and despair. These emotions grew to be strong enough to manifest physically as the Unversed. Vanitas was frightened by them, and struck them down with his keyblade - but every time he did so, he felt a surge of unbearable, body-wide pain. This caused yet more strong negative emotions, creating more Unversed and angering Vanitas, slowly becoming disgusted with his own existence. He cuts them down again and again, waves of agony tearing through his body, until he can take no more; he falls to the ground in tears, wishing for death. Master Xehanort approaches Vanitas in his fragile state and tells him, coldly, that the only release from his tormented existence is to one day re-unite with his other half and forge the X-Blade. He then hears a voice echo from within himself and sees a bright light before a familiar voice calls to him and says 'Let's open the door.' He takes off his mask to find he's been given a new face - that of a certain young man from the Destiny Islands.
So, in hindsight - Vanitas' obscene preoccupation with rejoining Ventus and forging the X-Blade isn't because he agrees with Master Xehanort's plan - it's because he hates living, he hates what he is, and he desperately wishes for the pain to end.
and this is why i really love his character in the series.
damn, I never knew this. Amazing
Yep every time a character killed an inversed Vanitas felt its death and experienced that feeling
The people who don't know vanitas' true backstory: *Begins to grind for levels*
Apparently no one but me has considered that he is one of seven primordial darknesses
This song doesn’t feel evil. It just feels.... sad. Broken down, like you’re about to give up after a long and difficult fight...
😢 The sorrow definitely sticks.
This right here.
That is does. It sings of a sad, broken, hollowing tragedy. I can see it being the song to a tragic villian. Someone who's only evil because they never got a chance for anything else. And hides what they really feel in order to achieve what they think they need. Or, a hero who's been pushed past their brink by loss and can't hold the same hope anymore as they turn to the darker side.
(Yes. I am a writer. And I eat this shit up.)

Hey man! 😊👉💗
All evil stems from sadness
Expectation: Minor keys, menace, aggressive tone
Reality: Piano, melancholy, and overall tragedy
As you say, the song is mainly composed by piano and this feeling of melancholy and overall tragedy. But i think that the reason of why this song sound like this is...deep.
Cause evil peoples are just heros that never be saved
@@AuthorChanUltimaWeapon Have you met true evil? Faced true evil? They're rarely someone sad and misunderstood - they just think they are. And that the pain they create or imagine for themselves entitles them to hurt others. To take from others. When in reality they live blessed lives in comparison to many who truly know the meaning of struggling on. They enjoy it, either the act of harming others, or the sense of twisted justice and revenge... even though no one specifically sought to hurt them in the first place. They're not heroes who were never saved, they already believe they are the hero. The entitled, the fascist, the narcissist, the psychotic, the manipulator... these are evil.
@@Kayriel just as the capacity for evil exists within all, the capacity for good does. Someone who is true evil never realized that capacity, either through their own choice, being mentally unwell and never helped with their problems, or outside forces. People are born inclined towards evil and must be lead towards good, and many evil people can be redeemed. But actions such as helping the mentally ill are nearly impossible, as the world is ruled by greed and those who point fingers instead of recognizing their faults.
@@Kayriel Thank you! I'm sick of people that deliberately hurt others are being labelled as tragic heroes. Stop romanticizing evil!
@@crowfishy.p exactly, people forgot the meaning of tragic *hero*, they need to be a HERO at first.

Idk who is this Karl Jacobs everyone keep talking about, nor what he did, I just came here because I like KH and it got my attention.
Just wanted to say that this is truly appreciated without any reference to someone else's quote
He used this song in a really important scene in his series “Tales From The SMP” on Twitch. This song is so lovely, and I’ve been looking at more Kingdom Hearts stuff because of this, i would love to play it
@@magentist5580 link to where the scene happened?
Its about karl jacobs who does roleplay in minecraft and his role is a time traveler
If u want to watch it click this go to the person channel to find more of it: th-cam.com/video/encwYOCPp2M/w-d-xo.html
and karl uses this after the story part when he goes to the "inbetween" and every time he travels he slowly loses memory but the "inbetween" always has a book that says "dont forget even your closest friends" or sum like that and after the "inbetween" he goes to this cave thing where he writes down the things that happened so he doesnt forget or somthing. The dream smp theres alot of people and alot of storylines. Each individual stories connect to each other and u get all the peices to understand why this happened. The eggpire is very smart coz one of karls story theres also an egg that has techno as sir billiam then in the dsmp the egg said in backwards "you looks familiar" "do i know you?" the egg goes into different story/timelines even out of the smp. Very smart of the script writter.
ShinySeeker 64 The ending part wjere hes in the inbetween. If u dont know like a castle white place.
@@sofiamargarette9847 haven't watched much of the dream smp yet but thanks for giving me the scene
This is so fitting for Vanitas because you can hear the tragedy and pure sorrow that rings out underneath the melody- a constant reminder of the darkness that plagues him, a reminder that he's alone after being torn away from Ventus. Your heart breaks just listening to the constant cry of help.
Anyone who's suffered from a broken heart/isolation/PTSD for 4+ years day-in, day-out can relate; no doubt. I unwittingly cursed myself with a self-fulfilling prophecy I didn't even realize I had manifested for myself until reflecting retrospectively to 5 years ago
Thought is real, physical is the illusion. As ironic as it is, our eyes don't actually show us what is reality. What exists in your head will bleed into your life whether you want it to or not. You cannot hide from yourself, nor can you run from the truth; for what's happened has already happened.
The watchers and the anunnaki have been observing us for several solar rotations of their planet, Nibiru, because of its elliptical orbit, that translates to roughly 7,200 years or longer since the calculated and measured length of its rotation around our sun by NASA has been proven to be 3,600 years. Which explains why deities have arisen in certain Greek, Roman, Egyptian or Nordic mythologies over the course of human existence. In the Mesopotamian days of Babylonia and Sumer, there were several different versions of what humans perceived to be there all knowing creator: Yah or Weh, which was later adopted by the judeo Christians as Yahweh. The reason why we have different versions of God as being benevolent or graceful or all loving, and sometimes we perceive him to be a wrathful jealous or vengeful God is because they were different gods living among us in the days of the Sumerians. They wrote down their experiences and their day-to-day lives and how they would hike towards their temples on their mountains to give offerings and worship them in person. We all know about the ancient images of clay tablets depicting astronauts satellites and rocket ships, no one wants to explain why they exist or why they're there because it would completely up and everything we know about human religion and history. Our records are actually off by about 2,000 years according to the book of Exodus when compared to the Sumerians story of creation in the Numa El'ish. It is in this book that you can find one of the first laws ever given to Man by Hammurabi: an eye for an eye.
Anyone who thinks these traditions that we've upheld by societal standards for generations such as agriculture, government, militarized armies and medicine were human concepts then you are sadly mistaken.
Just like in the assassin's Creed games, there was a race of hyperintelligent highly Advanced people who came to us and descended from the heavens and what we perceived as guilded chariots that levitated because we couldn't comprehend modern science as we know it today. We couldn't comprehend lift, thrust propulsion or hovercraft technology. We couldn't perceive these great notions and ideas that were taught to us because we were simply cave people descended from apes on the plains of Africa. The Annunaki and our creators indentured the Neanderthals as I'm working for us to mine our planet's minerals because it's true that our crust mantle was rich with gold and other rare minerals at one point in ancient times. That's why humans pursued the mythological city of El Dorado for centuries.
They spliced our DNA in technologically advanced laboratories and they created the homo sapien by removing an evolutionary Gene that was supposed to grant us tails and because they played God and messed with life, that's why humankind has evolved to have so many defects that make it very difficult for our species to live on this planet because we are mutated from an alien race that we can't even contact now.
I know what you are reading you will believe to be insanity or the ramblings of a madman, but these are not conspiracy theories these are proven archaeologic discoveries that have been hidden by our world leaders to prevent chaos and anarchy because aliens do in fact exist, we were manufactured, our only purpose as a species was to be indentured servants or minors or slaves, and we were to be wiped out in a great flooding of the entire planet which you can find evidence of occuring in every recorded religion. Ancient humans bore witness to a mass flooding that wiped out most of our species, but it was only because one of our creators, the snake God and key who has been labeled as a devil by modern religion, was actually the one deity who wanted us to survive because he had actually grown fond of our development and our potential.
I'm not asking you to believe me, but what I say is true, why do you think an entire team of people continue to make assassin's Creed games based around these stories? It's not all myth there is a semblance of truth to all religions, but no one on earth has gotten it 100% correct. No one really knows what's going on, we all choose what we want to believe, thus is the beauty of human existence. We all create our own purpose in life.
If you have any morality or any conscious, you will watch the movie arrival from 2016, heed its message, and strive to make the world a better place by uniting the nations of the world.
Go in peace, one love. Send Good vibes and energy into The ether through meditation. That is the only way to ascend to 5D consciousness.

if you read his little side story in the manga its even more true, he just wanted to be not alone
@@SkitaTeachYou manga is not canon. Vanitas is theorized to be one of the pure, original darknesses. It lines up with his dialogue exchange between him, Ventus, and Sora, saying he IS darkness. Also, Union X showed Ventus was taken over by an original darkness. This song mostly plays on the fact that Vanitas knows all he was, and ever will be, is darkness.
@@hectorrojasperez842 i know it isn’t Canon but both ways suits perfect for him. I’m pretty sure he is one of the darknesses.

gives me motivation to write some angst about the stream

Dude... this made me think of a potential title for such a game.
Kingdom Hearts: Darkness
It would feature an unlikely alliance between Vanitas and Riku & Terra. The three characters most closely tied to darkness. No idea what the plot would be, but how cool would that be?
@@rainestoehr431 maybe not the vanitas as part of a trio part, but a game about Terra and Riku adventuring together would be awesome. I’d prefer to see Vanitas as the antagonist of that game rather a trio member
@@MichaelPickering29 I think Vanitas has the potential to be a good character. Maybe not a hero, more of an anti-hero, or maybe even an anti-villain. I just think he needs a little help is all. A friend who accepts him as he is. And I think Ventus hopes the same for him.
I agree
True, I found it from being used in a series called "Tales from the smp" and let's just say my heart has been crushed and pain is the only thing I know-

@@Al_-cf1dj Kingdom hearts is one of the best overarching stories in all of fiction, when you actually start understanding it, it becomes amazing
This is like game over music, While dearly beloved sounds like new beginnings with a building sense of hope, This conveys the opposite very melancholy a slight feeling of despair, loss, and the end of ones journey prematurely.
“Not every ending is a happy ending. But maybe I can give those around me a happy ending... even if I’m not part of it”
oh god, that phrase would suit Vanitas very well in a Game or story of his own.
a Story where Vanitas is learning about light and friendship, where Vanitas learns to deal with his inner demons and where he is seen as "an Antihero".
But... In the end, he must protect the people he loves and makes a difficult decision.

karl is a dsmp streamer, also a mrbeast member. he plays a time traveler who loses his memory everytime he travels. there is one tale left for him to uncover. In tale 5, he went to the lost city of mizu, and when he was finished writing down what happened, he played this song and wrote, "Don't forget who you are." hope this helped :)
This song do not really sound evil,
(this doesn't mean that this song isn't beatiful, at the contrary, it's fantastic) it sound like sad, dpressing,melancholic or something like that, it make feel does emotion or negative emotion in general
I mean outside of being the embodiment of all of Ven's negative emotions, melancholic is a very apt descriptor of Vanitas
Well, aren't real "evil" people generally sad, depressed and melancholic?
@@mirion3383 There are generally three kinds of evil and the difference is merely the intent behind the actions. There is evil for the sake of another, whether that be killing out of self defense, stealing to feed your kids or getting caught in shady business to help your dying wife. These are all evils done in the name of a good cause, it doesn't make the method right, but it has a good ultimate intent behind them. I would call this kind of evil... a mistake. Then there is evil for a reason that is ignoble. This is the second worst kind of evil. You kill someone not out of self defense because you hate them or they're "in the way". You steal to force someone's business out of business or to cause them strife. You do shady business to exact revenge. These actions are the same as the previous ones, but the intent changes their category. These actions are what I call acts of evil. Then there's the last category, doing evil for the sake and or fun of it. You kill because it's fun or because you don't value life at all. You steal because you can with no need for the items you stole. You get involved in shady business for n reason in particular. These people... they were either born past the moral line of no return, or they crossed it with their actions over time. These actions are PURE evil and the people who commit them are known as MONSTERS... this is what it means to be a monster. Some monsters are born, some are made, none can be cured, they're beyond the point of morality.

this makes me think of all the people that have disappeared without a trace. maybe people who are being missed right now, who people are looking for. but even moreso, the people who are invisible-who are dying or are lost and no one even knows, for whom no one even feels their absence. i imagine this song is what it would feel like to know moments before your end that that is your destiny-that no one is going to know what happened to you.
In the end, there is only you, and death.
This song describes my state of mind right now...the process of trying to be an better person but tumbling down over and over again with that little ray of hope keeping you going.
Hello Tales of the SMP people, welcome to our pride and joy, the Kingdom Hearts series. We may have a little bit of a confusing storyline, but we can appreciate the music all the same.

Dearly beloved, when darkness prevails and light expires.
This is probably one of my favorite musical pieces of all time. It has the hint of a melancholic, but peaceful darkness. Everything about this version of Dearly Beloved hits home for me. And, not in a bad way.
I wish we had some DLC for Kingdom Hearts 3 that would let us play Vanitas, as he basically decides (through some exposure to Sora and Ventus as well as his horrible treatment from Xehanort) that he'd rather take the X-Blade for himself. He suffered the most, he deserves it.
He'd basically have boss battles against both the Organization 13 and the Warriors of Light, at the end facing Xehanort in what could be called an Evil vs Evil scenario. Maybe it could give Vanitas some characterisation that he always hated Xehanort, that he was abit jealous of Ventus and that Vanitas now cannot be anything but a monster because of what happened to him. Basically telling Xehanort his plans of remaking the world through Darkness are bullshit because he's just as dark, if not moreso than Vanitas, a figure of literal fucking darkness.
At the end, Vanitas would hold the X-Blade, standing alone in the wasteland of Scada Et Caelum or the Keyblade Graveyard. No voices, nobody standing with him. Just the hollow wind roaring past his hair. After celebrating abit to himself, Vanitas would realize he has nothing except the X-Blade, giving him potentially untold power. And yet there's only one other thing he has to give himself: a question.
"What now?"
Roll credits, leaving it ambiguous if he would destroy the world, or if he'd want to live in it. I think it's best that way, giving Vanitas some sense of ambiguity that, if he had character development, would he still choose evil? Or would he get some sort of redemption arc and want to seek happiness? Or maybe some twisted form of both, as Xehanort raised him to be happy doing evil things?
Chirinthy: "Time. It allows us to grow and change and see what consequences our actions take. It allows us to look at what came before, and ponder about what might come after.... Many times we think of what could be, and what would be, but those thoughts are not left to our world line... they escape to the others. They are left to....

@@GentlemanAeon777 No hard feelings but of everything I feel the story could have used more kingdom hearts. I mean we had like eleven plot threads to tie up and none of them got a very pretty resolution besides Sora and Kairi. But we knew that. We were hoping for that.
For me the problem came in that I kinda wanted everybody to have a somewhat happy ending. I still kinda want the lingering emotional turmoil that xehanort brought to the BBS trio to get resolved. I really do. but it just won't happen that easily and with out the good writing behind it.
I wanted vanitas to get some closer on who he was. we might get that later down the line as we learn what DARKNESS actually is but I was wanting him to come to terms with him and ventus.
Selfish as i wanted the plot to go my way. but I still felt it left something to be told.
SquareEnix & Disney need to hire you man
Decided to come back here after a little over half a year of my first dog’s passing. I played this for her before we went to the vet to send her on her way. I lost other pets before but nothing hit as hard as losing the dog I had for 13 years of my life. I still have periods where I just need to sit and feel sad, even though by now I have a new pup in my life who’s extremely loving and well behaved and is just a great dog I still sometimes find myself sad and depressed over losing the dog I raised up from the neighbors litter. I’m glad I was able to have one last moment with her and now this music hits way closer and what I played at one point for relaxing and soothing now just sounds like the epitome of depression and almost numbness. I tear up but I can’t quite cry anymore like there’s a stopper in the damn keeping it from breaking. It isn’t the sharp pain I remember from a while back when we lost her, but now it’s a dull constant, just like how the song has an ever present feeling of washing over you but never directly hitting you, just passing through as it plays on. Rest in peace good girl, knowing I will always love and miss you

Most people are here from Tales of the SMP
Anyone else here because Kingdom Hearts? Please tell me I’m not the only one here because of Kingdom Hearts.
Edit: The replies range from "what is Minecraft" to "what is Kingdom Hearts" to DSMP hate and I think I saw one hating on KH. Lol.
I’m here from kingdom hearts I was gonna listen to dearly beloved while I study and was intrigued at the title
I'm here cause of kingdom hearts, dearly beloved is one of my favorite songs, and hearing it in this type of tone hits different. Very well done version of the song, i really enjoyed it
Here from kingdom Hearts!
Ive watched the dsmp
But I'm a big kingdom Hearts fan.
And I listen to this because of it :)
I’m both cause I’m technically here from tales of the smp but I recognized the song in the end so I looked it up. Not disappointed
No idea who Karl Jacobs is. Here from KH! ALWAYS!
I can relate to this in a way that I can no longer relate to the original. I can only feel pain, but sadness is a pain that I like feeling. It's elusive, but ... you have delivered it. How wonderful.
“Am I evil? Or is it this world… is it wrong to be tired? Tired of being thrown away like a broken item by society and those I considered friends? I wish I could feel anything… first I felt sadness, then rage, now I just feel nothing… I am not the one who is wrong, it’s this sick world that is wrong. And that is why, I WILL BURN THIS BROKEN WORLD TO THE GROUND”
Maybe that's would a modern cartoonishly evil narcissist in a anime would think
I always felt that this version should be called "Till death do us part". Only since the the original is Dearly beloved, sounds a little like wedding vows so to oppose that till death do us part to fit the feeling of it. Really love the way this version sounds
If you cannot find the light in the darkness...
You simply aren't looking hard enough. The brightest lights always shine in the deepest of darkness's.
Edit: wow, that's more likes than I expected to get. Nice
And a shadow is in the reminants of the brightest light
light and dark both blind in excess balance is needed
If you cannot find the light in the darkness, you need to open your eyes.
@@BladeOfLight16 "Just open your eyes, duh." Philosophy clearly is not your strong suit
@@grendargaming1746 While I am not someone who devotes the majority of my time to the study of philosophy, I am certainly not ignorant in it.
"Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil." John 3: 19 NET
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth by their unrighteousness, because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them." Romans 1: 18-19 NET
The point I am making (symbolically) is that when someone is unable to see anything good or joyous or hopeful, it is not because there is no light to see or because the light is hidden or far away or behind barriers. It is because they have chosen to look upon and chase after the darkness rather than the light. It is a matter of _will_ and _decision_ rather than inability or even difficulty. This is an ancient and thoroughly discussed perspective on the issue. Perhaps if you didn't pick up on that, you're the one weak in philosophical considerations or history.
@@BladeOfLight16I see you actually did your research
Damn, this is great, gives me chills...but also a sense of sadness in a way, that I cannot quite understand.
agreed
Ok but what if karl uses this in the future where he goes
"I feel like I'm forgetting something... but I...I just can't remember..."
It would have been beautifully painful as if it had a melancholic but at the same time nostalgic feeling as if Karl wanted to remember something that he knows but just can't remember.
I miss the old days of dsmp (ಥ ᴗ ಥ)
This melancholic tune describes my mood right now
It's a sad and beautiful music. I'm feeling sad for him.
Really love this track, It feels the most calming music I have heard.
Yes
I love kingdom heart and the fact that Karl used this specific song for tales of the SMP makes me so happy since it’s the “evil” version
This song makes me feel how I imagine Vanitas feels all the time. Sad, alone, always reaching for the light only to have it turned away from you. This song is the perfect personification of Vanitas from the moment he was born out of the darkness.
Good theory, but Vanitas never reaches for light. He is one of the 13 original darknesses. He embodies who he is and chooses to be with darkness. This lines up with his dialogue between him, Sora, and Ventus in KH3. He IS darkness. The song mostly embodies the emotion that some never seek light, ever. And Vanitas is one of those beings. One to never see the light nor want to.
I enjoy this song due to Kingdom Hearts being basically the only Disney-based thing I can truly enjoy, and because this particular version of the song reminds me of the true reason behind Venitas wanting to forge the X-Blade according to the manga. The deeper, slower tone fits him and his backstory so well and sounds sad with the reverse violin combo.
If depression had a theme song, this would be it.
The story didn't end the way we expected.
a friend became evil
one was lost in the darkness
another deep in a seemingly eternal slumber.
Ah yes you spoiled the ending of kh IV
@@SahilHossain-ff4if its the ending of BBS that was described ( i cant tell if ur sarcastic or not so sorry if u r )
@@Dyslexicx I'm being sarcastic
This version isn't evil. It is -somehow- just even sadder than the original versions
seriously wish this was on spotify, be on repeat 24/7
Darkest isn't evil, so It would make sense that it sounds deep, sad, and depressing and not chaotic and distressing. Also vanitas just wants to be whole again with ven so he probably feels pain from being incomplete
This sounds sad as hell its like vanitas is stuck in ventus’s heart locked far away from the exit all alone
This almost sounds like a “calm before the storm” moment in one of the future KH games. It could be the song playing when you’re walking around one of the new worlds slowing discovering the secrets about the Master of Masters before the final confrontation/boss battle.
This is actually really good, imagine if this was actually in kingdom hearts .
also name suggestion - Farewell beloved
Dearly Departed?
"tragedy" if it was a song 😭
I can only feel pity and sorrow from this song, it really gives the impression of a deep feeling, a wonderful work from the remixer 🖤😅✨
Not here from anything, just found this randomly and idk what people are referencing, but damn is this a good song, straight up chills, 11/10
T R U E.
Well, this is a song from kingdom hearts but in a minor key, and the quotes are from a series called "Tales from the smp" specifically from the 3rd episode "The lost city of Mizu", towards the very end.
When I was watching Karl's stream I knew the song and just didn't get what song it was. Now I'm here and finally understand why it sounded so familiar.
50% Actual KH fans and the rest is a bunch of Dream SMP fans. Dang that got weird quick.
Ngl most of the kids here are prob 9 yr who haven't gotten to experience this mastet piece of a series
@@xthegodzombie omg! i just got called 9! so horrible i cry now shiver me timbers
@@aahijustalice8112 I said most not all. And you can't deny the fact that his fanbase is around that age
@@leahh1654 lol
Even if it's a confusing shit show.. and the darkness talk is super cringy, especially coming out of Riku's mouth.. KH fan!
I’m genuinely in love with this!
I just lost my Dad a week ago. I honestly don’t want to believe that he’s gone. When I listen to this, I feel like it’s him saying good bye in a way. That he’ll still be here, but he’s trying to push me to go on, but I want to hold on to him & have him still be here with me.
the unsettling.violins and background vocals gives big ol' Final Fantasy energy to me
Because it's literally from kingdoms hearts.
Everyone is talking about SMP and I'm just here because I love KH.
i’ve had this conversation with a friend, while this being about vanitas. we talked about how this could play should you have to play as someone else to kill sora, indefinitely. this song would kind of fit that tragedy because of how much everyone has been through with sora. just imagining it alone would be kind if heartbreaking for this to play during a boss fight against sora and his own heart.
Unrelated to any comments here:
This music ran through my head during the epilogue of the book Divine Wind.
Rest In Peace, Sierra Gamma 313.
You are never forgotten.
Find your way home.
this is just as beautiful as Dearly Beloved
hello tales of the smp viewers :]]
Hello person with good taste in streamers 😘

The more I hear this the more it sounds similar to aqua, a slowly losing battle, while losing what you are fighting for in the proscess. Changing with the rest of what is happening around them
This music plays when Riku has diarrhea and is running to the toilet. Nomura said so in an interview about Xemnas and Xehenort having a sleep over.
Wtf bro 😂😂😂😂
Bro what 😭

I know the mood is erray but .. this is quite possibly The best Song Ever
This songs emotion is like sitting on a cold beach during the fall that you'd usually visit mid summer. as the freezing wind brushes past your face, the ice cold water on your feet makes the sand feel slightly painful but not unbearable... The goosebumps makes you feel something for once, but it's easily recognized as unpleasant... An unpleasant feeling that you can't help but keep enduring. The view is beautiful and the sounds are enchanting, but the cold pain makes you understand that time isn't on your side and that you must act now... The waves feel like they are against you as the tide rolls in. the cold sinking feeling of the ocean grows past your ankles and up to your knees as you watch the sun fall beneath the horizon. If I could describe this song in only two sentences, it would be "I do not want to keep fighting... But I know I must" Dearly beloved, really kingdom hearts as a whole has had such a impact on my life and is one of the very few good nostalgic memories I can look back on in my childhood. This reimagining of dearly beloved feels like it helps me bring closure to the other half of my beginnings that I try to forget. It's dark, yet peaceful melody that is so reminiscent of dearly beloved hits all the right notes. It's a type of nostalgia that makes you reflect on where you've grown as a person. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this reimagining of my favorite song. I wish you all the very best 🗝️♥️
Imagine, kh4 begins, we watched the flashy opening and now we are into our first gameplay cutscene and this is what’s playing, it’s soras friends searching for him calling to him but they cannot find him, they begin to loose hope and the first 30-45 minutes of gameplay is unlike a happy tone like the other games at the start, but rather a more sad beginning with a lingering feeling of despair until the game goes on of course and light is restored or whatever, but it is playing this track because unlike any other game we start out with our hero lost… so instead of the same hopeful feeling we have because our hero is with us, it’s this theme because sora is not there to give our hero’s hope.
Magnificent job on this. Gives me vibes like when i first heard music from KH 🥲
im so fucking happy karl used this song in one of his big lore streams. kingdom hearts has been my special interest since i was a young child and im filled with absolutely overwhelming joy!! aaaaaa!!!
When I heard the melody, I recognized it from somewhere, but just couldn't olace from where. Normally dearly beloved is such a happy tune and gives hope, this gives dispair and there is no hope left. Just wow
my kingdom hearts addicted ass watching the mcyt fans come in like: :D (PS, karls stream was wicked B) )
Vanitas' theme when he's the first primordial darkness of the 13 to become a somebody with actual emotion rather than just a hivemind/entity of straight evil.
Thank you for extending it, I saw the one comment asking on the previous and checked immediately if you had.
This song does not sound dark at all. It gives me a sense of sadness instead. Im in love woth it so I am grateful for it. Also… “Dearly Departed” seems to fit it perfectly. Someone in the comments mentioned something about lost in himself. Would be awesome if it was called something like “Lost within me” or “Lost in me”. This song makes you lose yourself as you feed your ears with it while closing your eyes. Its perfect!!!
Dearly Departed: Are we simply the dreams, aspirations, ideas, thoughts that we are. The ability to be so self aware yet oblivious to those around us. Are we simply destined for darkness, and if so, are we content with that path. The path to darkness. Such a traveled road, but I’ve learned to accept that which I once could not.
I have been listening to this song for the past 13 hours.
karl was godly for using this
He’s actually epic like why are people sleeping on this
@@avvazu9727 exactly!!
@@avvazu9727 I know... like they have barely realized it until know...even tho this was released 2 months ago people should still check out the original
Once upon a time, there was a boy split in twain. One half was light, and the other was darkness. The light half went on to make friends, pursue dreams, and live a happy life. The other made himself a weapon, attempting to steal the happiness from his light half, and met his death because of this.
Once upon a time, there was a champion of light, stolen away from friends, family, and home. Through his journey he learned that, even in the deepest darkness, there is a light that never goes out.
Once upon a time, there was a young witch, able to create, manipulate, and restore memories all at once. Through her the nature of all hearts was revealed: memories create quantities of light and darkness.
Once upon a time, there was a princess born with an extraordinary gift, one of seven. They proved time and again how exceptional they were---though they felt sorrow and anger and jealousy, none of these stuck to their hearts of light, which burns away even the deepest darkness.
Once upon a time, there was a dawnwalker. In an attempt to be strong, he had allied himself with the darkness, only to be taken over. Through his effort and the help of friends, he found his way out of the darkest depths and returned stronger in the light.
Once upon a time, there was a man whose wrath, jealousy, and pride led him to be taken over by a master of darkness. But on the land where he fell, the people who believed in him called his name, and he broke his bonds through unbreakable will.
Once upon a time, there was a time master who tested the very limits of created hearts. He found that the strength of friendship brightened light, and the weakness of isolation deepened darkness.
Once upon a time, there was an old man who wanted so desperately the weapon with which to rule the world he would go to forbidden and cruel lengths to get it, using even his apprentice as a tool, a means to his end.
Once upon a time, there was a boy split in twain. One half was light, and the other was darkness. The light half went on to make friends, pursue dreams, and live a happy life. The other was made into a weapon, attempting to earn his happiness through his light half, and met his death because of this.
Tell me. Could this fate have been different?
I'm a fan of kingdom hearts since I was 6. Now I'm 18 and I'm also a fan of the dream smp. I like Karl's reference but y'all pls get to know kh it's such a beautiful saga it, do not reclaim this song as something related ONLY to dream smp
YES EXACTLY ITS ANNOYING .......
Finaly someone who said it!
Thank you
Very beautiful remix, this is incredible... I have no words to explain what this music makes feel
I think this should be called Deeply Regretted.
Thank you for the extended version btw
