A grand medley of my favorite themes from the Kingdom Hearts series! Themes used include "Dearly Beloved", "Simple and Clean", "Sanctuary", "Organization XIII", "Xion", "Face My Fears" and "Don't Think Twice".
This was initially created as a commission for a wedding, so that's why the vibe is a bit more relaxed than my usual fare. Creating a 15 minute arrangement was a huge challenge, but it was a labor of love for sure. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you for all the love on this arrangement! I just uploaded a Piano/Orchestral version of "Don't Think Twice" with vocals! really stoked on this and would love to hear everyones feedback
This is some of the finest work I've heard. Excellent!! Would you like to try your hand at Metal Gear?
Question! Didn't you have a Roxas Theme version or am I being dumb?
who gave you the right to attack me with that clean transition from Simple and Clean to Don't Think Twice?
"What... a journey you and I have had..."
Love it with all heart
There is more to seek so go on and seek it !
i started playing this game when i was 8 shits wild
KH3 actually managed to make Ansem more of a character than just "Something, something, something, darkness."
I didn't think it was possible for the longest time, and we even got some humanizing for Xemnas, who I always kind of liked.
What, boy it is time to move on. There is more to seek. So go forth now and seek it.
@@ThomasDiognardi my first Kingdom Hearts game was when I was 20(Kingdom Hearts 3), I got the Story So Far collection and just love it!! This game series is awesome! They were the original interconnected universe, if anything the MCU stole it from them. Kingdom Hearts forever! We will save you Sora!!
...damn
The Organization theme transitioning into Xion's Theme was something I never knew I desperately needed in my life until now.
thanks! definitely pleased with how that transition came out :)
There is something profound about Sora fading away at the end there
glad you picked up on that!
@@ThomasDiognardi Thank you! It feels as if it's the end of one journey, but another is sure to come!
Now it’s the guardians of light against the foretellers.
NO DON'T REMIND ME 😭😭😭
@@Wafflecasa Re:Mind
Wow, this was a commission for a wedding? Blessings to the beloved couple for such a good taste!
couple goals
@@leonardopurpose3157 what?
Thank you! I’m the commissioner and the wedding was great ♥️ the music gave me all the courage and bravery to walk in front of so many people. Thomas did a great job
@@vivimekairi aww this thread is so wholesome
what a dream
This sounds like it would be an amazing ending credits theme.
Pseudonym shoulda been the ending credits theme for KH3 tbh
Thsi is still the best thing ever. I listened to this driving from my friends funeral, at the church to the burial site, and bawled my eyes out because this game series had been so important to us since we were literally 8 and 7. He died at 25 in 2019. The cancer got to the point where it by the time KH 3 came out he couldn't mentally function to do basic things, let alone play video games. So he obviously never got to experience the finale and I do regret that, at the time I had beaten it, we weren't talking and I could've reached out to at least tell him it ended before he was too far gone mentally. Totally not important in the long run, but it just makes the series mean all the more to me and this song hits like a couple dozen 18 wheelers. Thanks for reading my rant sorry! 😭😂🤡😔 RIP Ben though.
That must have been an awesome wedding.
Once in a lifetime
I had to stop when simple and clean came on before I broke down...
Can't be crying during work
embrace the tears
let it out
that's so me!!! damn Kh gave me the best childhood!!
7:38 imagine the groom and his best man, dressed in org cloaks, walking down the isle with his gang of norts
lmfaoo i made a separate edit that used Roxas's theme in place of the Org theme because understandably the bride felt it was too dark
Thomas Diognardi lol makes sense😂
Can we hear that one too?!
@@ThomasDiognardi Is it possible to possibly get that one as well?
The bride's already half Xehanort!
I love how all of these themes to normal people are seen as beautiful or pretty but to people that know the meaning behind the piece the meaning is altered to sadness or like the organization 13 theme mysterious and evil I love that. It has greater meaning lol
Egyptian Gamer that’s the beauty of it & the Kingdom Hearts series. there are so many emotions tied into it. it’s the only series that has made me cry, laugh, happy, sad, mad, and everything in between all at once. it’s the only series that has made me feel as if i grew with the characters. i’m 21 now but when i started this game i was 5. truly incredible and the meaning is different to everyone who plays!
Xion! You have returned! Now You're theme, Terra's theme, Roxas' theme, Ventus' theme theme, and Aqua's theme can bring us happiness instead of pain!
This truly captures the spirit of the franchise up until now. I can hear the bells ringing :)
big compliment, thank you!
00:00 - 02:10 "Dearly Beloved"
02:10 - 04:20 "Simple and Clean"
04:20 - 07:36 "My Sanctuary"
07:36 - 08:40 "Organization XIII"
08:40 - 09:28 "Vector to the Heavens"
09:28 - 11:31 "Face My Fears"
11:31 - 12:53 "Don't Think Twice"
12:53 - 13:39 "Simple and Clean"
13:39 - End "Don't Think Twice"
Legend
The hero that we need. But not the one that we deseve.
But which versions
Actually, that's not "Vector to the Heavens", but "Musique pour la tristesse de Xion"
Track 4 is Organization XIII
I never thought I would ever hear Don't Think Twice and Simple and Clean mixed in at the same time. It was an absolutely beautiful experience hearing it for the first time. Truly beautiful medley :)
thank you! it was interesting because they're in the same key but they're in different time signatures/feels. Re-working "Simple and Cleans" melodies to be in 6/4 was really fun :[]
@@ThomasDiognardiYou're welcome :) That's pretty interesting to know! It is always a blast listening to this melody :)
Time stamp?
Max “Simple and Clean except in 6/4” starts around 12:54
Thomas Diognardi made this everyone, "Got it memorized?"
When the Organization XIII song got faster, particularly at 8:30, I got struck with the dumb thought of "Watch out, Sora, Organization XIII's coming! Oh no, he has airpods in, he can't hear us!" Which is a stupid reaction to music building in pace so it can transition but alas, this is what my mind gave me.
Icefox425 I’ll take it
Icefox425 lol
Omg XD
I’m crying
hopefully its not in a club
Not gonna lie Xehanort is a saga within himself
that dont think twice and simple and clean mix at the end, just brings the first theme of the saga so nicely together with the last, its a beautiful confusion to my ears :)
Can't lie i thought by the title it was going to be the vs xehanort theme but I'm not complaining
Sanctuary made me cry
the nostalgia is fuckin real with that one
Evergreen comment.
Sometimes we never think of our dreams but of our memories. In darkness light shine brightly. Although we sleep in the quiet moments they will awaken true hearts. Even if we are heartless, our Nobodies will find us. No matter what, Love will conquer any evil. Friendship will conquer sorrow. Hope will conquer all doubts. May your heart be your guiding key.
“Now I know now, Kingdom hearts is LIGHT!”
This is what the line before the intro should be in Kingdom Hearts 4.
@@KingdomHeartsFan-mu9cf Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Oh man, it’s as if there was a wedding in the series itself! It’s kinda funny you put Organization XIII in there with how dark and foreboding it is. I also really like the fact that you added a specific part of Passion in there too.
All in all, a really great medley.
thanks! She initially told me to put whatever i wanted in and i love that theme, but understandably she had me replace it with something else after the first draft. So the version she used had Roxas's theme instead!
Thomas Diognardi That makes sense. So... are you gonna upload that segment or....?
I play instrumental music pieces to fall asleep to at night but always struggle to find something with the right mixture of engaging and relaxing. THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE IS PERFECT. I can use this to draw to or while doing other various tasks in my home as well. So well done. Thank you for sharing this!
I was thinking the same thing, but with writing. I'll definitely will be listening to it more often now.
I can also use this to masterbate and various other sexual activities in my household. Maybe even cooking in the kitchen!!
07:10 I LOVE that moment, so emotional, CONGRATULATIONS for your amazing job
thank you! i always enjoy adding some original bits as transitions/additions
The transition from Organization XIII into Musique pour la tristesse de Xion was fantastic!
I really can see getting marry with this as background music and say "I do" just when "Don't think twice" start playing. The Organization XIII theme got me the chills after the theme of Xion, just right when the bride came. This composition is simple and clean yet soo beautiful just right to be in a sanctuary of love and respect but only if you face your fears and simple don't think twice about it, just say "May our hearts be our guidings keys ". See what i did there? Love your work
It’s so nice to see so many KH fans in the comments happy about this masterpiece! Thank you so much for uploading this, it’s better than any KH arrangement I’ve seen on TH-cam so far, and it works for every environment I can think of.
The way you blended Simple and Clean with Don’t Think Twice at the end was amazing! A true masterpiece!
Incredible.
May your heart be your guiding key. ❤️🗝
I wish this is on spotify
I have nothing else to say but great job on the mashup. I’m really glad TH-cam recommended this.
The song to end my childhood and being light to adulthood 😢
When I heard those first few notes of Sanctuary..... my feels.... were run over by a train with MORE FEELS ON IT! And I'm loving it cause this beautiful masterpiece is playing all the while! So beautiful is it that even my feels have feels..... and I didn't even know that was possible until this.... I may just be a bit overdramatic lol. Thank you so much for this beautiful masterpiece! 💗
I started playing it and I can't stop crying
Alternate version for the bride where I replaced the Organization Theme with Roxas's theme! soundcloud.com/user-63786348/xehanort-saga-orchestral-medley-roxas-theme-edit
I want to hear FINAL FANATSY X TO THE ZANARKAND in your MEDLEY
@Leonardo PreciousRb are you good lmfao
Leonardo needs to be in a mental hospital PRONTO.
I don’t speak Italian.
What the fuck is going on here
I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the most beautiful thing composed.... wow...
Got me feelin' all those feely feels... If I heard this during a wedding I'd be bawling. 😭😭😭 So beautiful!!!
This is AMAZING!!!
thanks! love your videos :)
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Absolutely amazing. What a way to conclude the series. Always love how Don’t Think Twice begins.
Thank you so much, TH-cam recommendations. :')
This is really deep and creative, some parts are really touching. Great job on this masterpiece! ♡
The most amazing thing about this imo is not the music though the music is on another level, it is the fact that this video predicted the end of Re:Mind before anyone else knew it existed.
The passion portion of the medley is probably my favorite. Excellent work
Whats the part he blends in around 6:15?
@@davidsaylors24 That is the bridge of Sanctuary, but I believe it is more focused on the Japanese version of the song.
Wow, the ending hits hard with the mix of simple and clean with don’t think twice. Talk about nonstop chills!
I came here expecting a Boss Battle Medley... I found myself almost crying
Wonderful job
Ok....I might use this for my wedding......correction....I WILL use this for my wedding. After all.......she is my inspiration ....my guiding key........my literal sanctuary.
10:20 got goosebumps across my body, this was amazing!!
Dude.... this is amazing. Like perfectly beautiful as the originals. Please do one for the organization XIII so many feels in their stories
WHERE ARE YOU DISLIKE! You are outnumbered. Come forth so that you plite may be dealt with both quickly and efficiently.
G.T.Studios ITS THE HEARTLESS!
G.T.Studios that one person who disliked the video is scared now 😂
THERES 2 NOW 🔥👀🔥💀🔥
this is one of the most beautiful cover I'v ever heard.
what a wonderful piece of art this truly is
This is everything. Thank you so much for composing this.
This is so awesome.
I hope we can hear more Kingdom Hearts covers from you sometime.
What an awesome recreation.
I have been following the KH series since it started in 2002 and hearing those old songs gives me a strong feeling of nostalgia. I love how you mixed all themes together and brought something new into it and it all leads up to KH3.
Well done.
i had to take deep breaths so i wouldnt start crying
beautiful! i love kingdom hearts. i can’t wait to see what the rest of the series has in store for sora and riku too!
Is Kairi chopped liver?
Hey! What about what it has for Roxas, Xion, Axel, and Isa!
Beautiful and amazing for this medley. Thankyou so much.
Truly this is a masterpiece, amazing work !!! Love all your medleys and mashups!
Can I just say that this is probably the most emotional piece of orchestral music I've ever heard. hearing this as a fan of Kingdom Hearts, as I have been since I was like 6, this piece of music brings back so many memories of a simpler time within my life, when I could focus on video games and having fun. this song reminded me of why I chose to go into music as my major in college, as the emotion and feelings produced from listening to music have such a high place in my life. Thank you for making this, and allowing it to be heard online for free via youtube. Hearing this medley has completely brightened up what would've normally been a very boring day.
thank you so much! glad this could brighten your day and trigger some nostalgia
Beautiful, thoughtful and wonderfully understated. Such a gorgeous arrangement
I’ve only heard the first couple minutes of this and it’s absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much for making these beautiful covers ❤️
Welp, you make me cry.
Seriosly, I would cry with that music in my wedding.
It's just too beatiful.😢
I love this so, so, soooooo much. Renews my love for kingdom hearts every time I listen to it.
I'm just gonna listen to this on repeat and cry for a while. It's beautiful. Thank you for bringing this into the world.
I'm in tears, this is so beautiful, not only the song but also imagine this on the person's wedding
You did a wonderful job
Ive been listening your arrangements and man... have to say. Your work is absolutely amazing..
Wow. Goosebumps the whole time listening. Amazing work!
Rarely do I come back and listen to a cover on TH-cam more than once. This, this will definitely be an exception.
Sorry to be picky, but the description should read "my usual fare." :)
can i repeat this forever?
It's amazing to see Vector to the Heavens take its rightful throne beside the intro songs. The story of 358/2 days will always be dear to our hearts.
Now that face my fears made me face my fears.
This deserves at least 10,000 likes. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard. It must have been a wonderful wedding!
Such a beautiful job! Transitions between melodies are just so lovely, definitely feel all the hard work poured into this masterpiece!
This brought me to tears man.
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful piece of music 🎶 👍
How could one medley make me so happy and so sad all at once? It's beautiful
Just beautiful. ❤️ I love kingdom hearts so much.
OMG! 👌🏽 It’s like you knew what every KH fan wanted to hear. Beautiful transition on every single one. Keep it up! ❤️🔥 Really made me get mad excited for this 20th anniversary.
All I can say is - thank you so much~ it´s really beautiful
This is so beautiful, my mind was at peace for 15 minutes. I hope God rewards you. Thank you for this, good night.
This is incredibly beautiful! So glad I found it! :D
If one day, Disney or Square Enix does a movie or an anime... they HAVE to contact you for the music production. Your amazing, love the transitions and I’ve been a fan of Kingdom Hearts since 2005, my honest opinion, your work is one that hear a lot. Thanks and keep it up! May our hearts be our guiding key.
Very well done, once again!
So far so good !
Believe in your work, it's simply amazing !
This. This right here... it's magic. That's what it is.
This will be 2 years I’ve been married. We used this as our wedding song and we are dancing to it together today
OMG KH music have the incredible fucking power to give me chills so hard that I can't even handle
I just love how Sora got an ass in this poster
This is truly breathtaking
This was just remarkable! I literally got goosebumps.
I've listened to this so many times I'm dead set on using this at my wedding (my boyfriend loves kingdom hearts too so it won't be a challenge!) you're amazing and have such incredible talent!!!
thats amazing! thank you so much
So damn beautiful! Thank you so much for doing this!
This make me feel litterally better and made my mood better I thank you for that! I pray for you to have a better life
Holy hell, you need more business!
Fantastic work!
Beautiful and truly emotional. This series had some great songs.
This is so beautiful !
👏👏 it's Simply amazing 👏👏
Why do I always break down when I hear Xion's theme?
Because its Xion, her story is tragic and I'm so happy that the "who is that" memes are now practically dead and she's finally happy.
@@mcxopjesh agree
Xions theme is lowkey highkey the best theme
@@ThomasDiognardi indeed
Joseph Watts wait who is that?
Don't Think Twice is from far, the best music in games
Before playing KH: Ahh a Disney kiddy game
After playing KH: I cry
