Face My Fears - A Kingdom Hearts 3 Orchestration

Late again... ripity. WELP here it is, orchestrated Skrillex. I've actually covered some of these themes before, but I figured that I could do a better job now, and that last one was like 2 years ago. So here's to Utada Hikaru and Skrillex who are 2 of my 20 childhood heroes. Now to actually play the game XD. As always Like Share Sub and Ring That Bell if you like what you hear, follow me on my social media to ask questions and see what I'm doing, comment below on what you think and what you'd like to hear next, and I hope you all enjoy!

[@RushGarcia]

Just a little note here, I'd like to apologize to the people who I've upset for naming this orchestration "Face my fears" when this is indeed more of a medley of sorts. Seeing you guys upset or the naming of my work detracting from the actual music is a big no no, so in the future I'll be a bit more careful about that. Cheers!

[@kingdomroxasora9931]

No no don’t mind those people who complain about the pettiest things

[@amberessence7057]

[@ramirezreality95]

Anyone who complains about that sounds kinda petty, dont worry about them. But props to you for being so receptive to your fanbase .

[@KingHarambe_RIP]

You have nothing to apologise for Rush but thank you for caring so much about your fans to even consider doing so anyway. Your work is stunning! Edit: And for what it's worth, I think "Face my Fears" is a perfectly appropriate name for this piece.

[@DragonShiryu123]

I agree, if anything it was a pleasant surprise, and it really added to the depth of the orchestration.

[@canti288]

To think that a Japanese Disney rpg could actually succeed and thrive for nearly 2 decades

[@heartofthecards8698]

canti288 for real man. I think it just out grew the Disney aspect and turned itself into a pretty decent series.

[@bellringer53]

@@heartofthecards8698 truly, if you have played the game then this seems like the last major hurray of disney content for a while.

[@blusteryVagabond]

To be fair, they've had 10 years to polish KH3, between making side games and inter-quels and HD-remixes.

[@heartofthecards8698]

bellringer yeah I have, and I saw the ending. I actually want to see the direction they take with it

So nostalgic, I remember playing kingdom hearts as a little kid... Before my life got busy and hard. I got goosebumps several times.

SORA IS FINALLY HERE!!!

[@raymondhutchison7271]

This is an incredible piece. I listened to it thinking at first it was an orchestral take on “Face my Fears”, but this is so much more. TBH: This is music that is the narrative of what the journey has been for Sora as well as us Kingdom Hearts fans. Waiting for the story, going through all the sub plots, all of it. This is great. Thank you.

[@Luchux177]

I heard parts of simple and clean, dearly beloved and I think that a little Sanctuary. I loved this 😃

[@zPichu]

there was passion as well at 1:10 - 1:17. I cry everytime!

[@DZlegend]

@@zPichu passion and sanctuary are the same thing melody wise. Lyrically different cause Passion is the Japanese version and if translated is just a different song altogether. Sanctuary is english.

[@aaronlivesay4652]

I’m not typically an emotional person, but when it comes to your orchestrations, I literally shake Niagara Falls off this planet with the stream of tears I produce.

[@alexandracynthiabrowne7416]

Coming back after a year is still so powerful... I had numerous goosebumps and cried as if I never heard this. It was a good journey.

I'm not crying. You're crying. But no really this is so beautiful I teared up. Job well fucking done.

[@iancomtois9832]

Dubstep < orchestra. Every time.

[@Tarby.]

Completely agree

[@AdryanDreamer]

Original is not dubstep, is called Future bass and has vocal chop on it Loving this, but I also enjoy the energy of the original

[@Trevor_Draino]

Theyre both great.

[@Warappe69]

Now that you mention it.. I wonder how Dubstep + Orchestra sounds like..

[@megankarow2328]

dubstep can’t capture the grand, all-encompassing feel that orchestra has. (also dubstep has a tendency to give me headaches.)

I got goose bumps at least 3 times listening to this. Brought back so many childhood memories playing KH1.

[@tommylockhart687]

Facing your fears isn't always some grand battle against everything, sometimes its more of a realization and acceptance of truth, realizing you're more human than expected and accepting that you can't hate yourself over it or every mistake you may do.

[@crittercontentcollaborativ6782]

Haven't gotten chills like this from music in a while. Idk about everyone else, but this made me feel like I replayed the KH series over and what experiences I had while playing it. Bravo

[@cintakorn2852]

This is just beautiful. I love how epic the buildup is, and when it when into the other songs, I had chills. Each part comes together so well, like they were meant for each other.

[@naruto150150]

I've listened to other KH orchestra medleys. This one by far my favorite. I dunno how to describe it but I think it's a good balance. It's neither exhausting nor too relaxing.

[@VGInterviews]

As a self appointed KH fanboy I can say that when I first heard Face my Fears I was excited, not because of the original song (I enjoyed it even tho the whole EDM style beat had to grow on me over time) but because I knew things like THIS would eventually exist and out of all the covers and remixes I've heard (and I've heard A LOT) this one is a true gem among gems

[@tonyb3335]

Having been sorely disappointed by the Don’t Think Twice/Chikai orchestration we actually got in KH3, I don’t even care about this being a medley this would have made me so much happier. Amazing job

[@Alivieina]

An amazing mashup! Face my fears was one I was hoping to hear orchestrated but I imagine it was pretty hard since ultimately it repeats a lot? But I would love to hear a fully orch version of it someday. But the way you seamlessly blended all the themes of Kingdom Hearts was stellar :D the part with the strings at 3:09 is still to this day one of my faves for Hikari/Simple and Clean Orchestration. Agh.

[@pepegaprogrammer]

This is beautiful

[@ginamartinez5039]

Finally got enough money to get KH3, but I put aside starting it just yet so I could listen to this masterpiece. Zero regrets.
