A medley of 4 of my favorite Kingdom Hearts pieces

... that I've already played on here
Table of contents:
0:00 Hikari (Simple and Clean)
2:23 Passion (My Sanctuary)
3:48 Dearly Beloved
7:45 Xion/Vector to the Heavens
9:30 Dearly Beloved Epilogue
This is pretty much a sequel to that random medley I recorded just before last years' New Years
( • A medley of 3 of my fa... )
And unlike last year I finally figured out how to sync longer videos with the sound! That's what I call progress lol
Some references to other pieces sneaked themselves in here, and I drew a lot of inspiration from kylelandry and Project Destati - I've listened to so many of their works, they're absolutely incredible.
Preparations for this medley came down to 'I've been playing Kingdom Hearts stuff for such a long time, how about I make a medley out of it...' I just sat down for one take and went with the flow and I think it turned out pretty nicely! It's a mixed bag quality-wise but there's a few parts that I really like~

Simply beautiful.

[@JohnJRevitte]

Outstanding my friend!

[@Ishindri]

Ahh, this is lovely! Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos - they inspire me to practice that much more when I sit down at the piano myself.

[@ursulamurta145]

it feels like someone is dying to get to the other one

[@kanonind]

A very nice

[@kty1026]

Ahhhhh te amo 💕😭

[@maDwaZz]

That was a pleasure to listen. Not sure if that whirlgig on your piano is related to Kingdom Hearts at all (I haven't played the series, unfortunately), but it reminded me of Inception and contributed to the overall melancholic vibe of the video haha

[@Caliko]

Thanks! And it's not really related to Kingdom Hearts, it just kinda chills on my piano and I like to fidget with it when taking a break. It always makes me think of Inception too! TIME (the ending theme) is one of my favorite things to play and now that I think about it I might record it again soonish~

[@goldentrout4811]

Beautiful! I wished you showed yourself like your other videos, to see a performance is pleasing.

[@Caliko]

Thanks! And I'll get back to those kinds of recordings eventually, sometimes you just feel like staying out of the cameras eye you know?

[@goldentrout4811]

Ayy i feel you, no worries mate!

[@pianogeekdan4621]

Literally everyone I'm subbed to is posting!!! Is there sheet music? Cuz these arrangements are great!

[@Caliko]

Thank you but also sorry, it's improv so no sheets!

[@pianogeekdan4621]

@@Caliko ok thx for replying! I've been looking for something that isn't way too difficult but sounds good. I guess I'll keep looking

[@Caliko]

@@pianogeekdan4621 kylelandry has sheet music for his arrangements of Passion and Hikari, and I'm sure some of his Dearly Beloved covers too if you haven't seen those by chance, they're of similar difficulty I'd say! The Kingdom Hearts piano collections have some great not too difficult arrangements too

[@kizu6865]

There is a fourth piece. Xion's theme in the Dearly Beloved section.

[@Caliko]

Hmm I suppose I... forgot about it (that is such an old joke) tbh I'm not mentioning it in the description on purpose - I always used to get chills when I heard Xion's theme unexpectedly in Kyle's Dearly Beloved covers, so I thought I'd keep it unexpected here as well

[@kizu6865]

@@Caliko hahaha, yeah I just thought I'd point it out! This is a lovely medley thank you so much for uploading it for us to listen ♥️♥️♥️

[@FortePiano]

[@quanang8816]

Please do the lullaby from Twilight ( Bella's theme) thank you very much

[@TheLolauu]

looks like the french flag floating above your piano :) Tu es française?

[@whlwng4426]

I kind of wonder, will you arrange two songs written by Utada Hiraku? one is face my tears, and another is dont think twice. Both seem to be main theme songs for kingdom heart III. Thanks!

[@Caliko]

We'll see, if I do I'd probably do a medley-type thing with them! Though I don't really feel the need to arrange Face my Fears, if you've heard Cateen's version - I love it so much I don't think I could add anything of my own, I'll probably just learn his arrangement tbh

[@xHomu]

Is there a particular meaning for that white spinning top?

[@ria9072]

Is the spinner on the piano an inception reference

[@Caliko]

Yes it is
