Kingdom Hearts: Simple & Clean - Jazz Cover || insaneintherainmusic (feat. Carlos Eiene)

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Let me know if you guys would like to see Carlos as a guest more on this channel! I really enjoyed working with him :)

[@DAYandNIGHTGAMER7]

insaneintherainmusic yeah that would be awesome!

[@alexshafer7374]

I can't imagine a future for your channel without him tbh

[@swordeilm3507]

Such a talent... you really found someone good ;)

[@stryaterra]

He sounds awesome! You should totally bring him in to feature some more!~ XD

[@woodphrog3066]

insaneintherainmusic this is so sick

[@Blitz_Ace_]

This video confirms that in all of Carlos' previous videos that every Carlos in a different shot was actually a CLONE of him. Now there's probably big bands worth of Carlos out there in the world without a jazz KZbin channel to play for since there's apparently only two of them left here. Save a life. Adopt a Carlos. Kappa

[@cbxmusic1050]

Joseph Alagon lowkey where can i find this charity lol

[@JoeyStempien]

I'll adopt a tambourine Carlos. Those ones make me laugh.

[@Bardguy5623]

Joseph Alagon let's get the #saveacarlos trending on Twitter.

[@cbxmusic1050]

Andre W "Every year, every saturday... a Carlos was used... and then thrown away. It is our mission to help find a home for these poor orphan college kids... save a life... save a Carlos."

[@JoeyStempien]

"Every week... innocent Carloses are forced to play jazz covers against their own will. Then... they are never heard from again. It is our mission to protect against such torture. #AdoptEiene today."

ah, thanks so much man! really appreciate you listening!

[@jakegarrett7784]

hey wait i know you

[@JoeyStempien]

Wow, can't believe you've never had this Carlos Eiene guy featured on your channel before. He's super good! You should definitely have him on more. Props to him!

[@sketchbookonline2040]

JSVO Wait, so that guy on piano...Isn't his twin brother?

[@JoeyStempien]

Not that I'm aware.

[@jbark678]

Sketchbook Online Now that would be a twist

[@Aster-ORIME]

Sketchbook Online I thought the same thing

[@Smashologist]

Sax Carlos is the Nobody and Piano Carlos is the Heartless. Where's the true Carlos?! Also this is swingy as hell, I can see myself jauntily walking down a street with this. Great job dude!

[@magicalficus1439]

Smashologist The true Carlos must have been trapped in the Realm of Darkness or the World That Never Was... how can we get him back?!

[@jbark678]

Smashologist What would his nobody name be? Salcrox?

[@magicalficus1439]

Maybe Scarlox?

[@lorekeeper2190]

I'm torn between these two.

[@PetroklosZDM]

Both yet neither are the true Carlos. Only way to bring him back is to kill these two Carlos'. Carloses? Carlosi?

[@truegreen7]

I totally thought you were gonna sing.

[@MultiDarkZen]

I was waiting for like another small video clip appear on to screen of someone that was singing the lyrics; update It never happened.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

i'm not quite at that level..

[@LeviBechtold]

Truegreen7 He's sung in one cover...

[@hannahhuang5792]

Legendary Metroid In which cover?

[@zeryfcollection]

Truegreen7 i watch your videos 😫

[@ProjectDestati]

Really great work! And it's so great that you actually covered "Simple and Clean" rather than the "Hikari" everyone else does. Saxophone pairs so well with this melody

[@frankfiol6225]

omg Project Destati when are you gonna release another video? You're Kingdom Hearts covers are so amazing!

[@gabrielnozea6156]

I'm pretty sure Hikari is the singer, but don't quote me on this.

[@dodgecat3863]

Gabe Nozea lol Hikari is Japanese for light The song is called Hikari in Japan and it is sung by Utada Hikaru The English version of the song is simple and clean also song by her

[@Rinienna]

+Gabe Nozea Nope! Common mistake, i used to think that as well, but as Xion Star said Hikari is japanese for light, and its sung by Utada Hikaru!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks guys :D

[@slendermanish99]

4 years and I still come back to this

[@ianloree2784]

Carlos is the best guest artist on your channel yet, insane! I hope he returns in future videos!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

for sure, man :)

[@dodgecat3863]

You should totally do a jazz cover of traverse town from kingdom hearts!!! It's already jazz but doing a cover would be amazing!

[@magicalficus1439]

Xion Star Agreed!

[@MultiDarkZen]

Make this happen, this must happen. Internet do ya ting.

[@matthewstaib2820]

Holy cow, that is the perfect song to jazz-ify.

[@larslysko3886]

Omg yes

[@toastweek3745]

yep yep yep!

[@Hannah-yo8en]

But which one is the featured one, Piano Carlos or Sax Carlos?

[@maagic2031]

Yes

[@jaredkhan8743]

• Hannah • piano. Sax is the best instrument

[@insaneintherainmusic]

yes.

[@mingfeid.4627]

Lies trumpet is the best instrument, clearly

[@martinmanoyrine2946]

This channel is REALLY underrated.

[@Machinegun-bw7zu]

When you don't have friends so you feat yourself...Noice cover!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

LOL MY LIFE

[@magicmythicmatt2586]

Honestly, you and Carlos groove real good together. You guys should just combine your channels and become a permanent duo

[@insaneintherainmusic]

maybe we'll do that. I'll send him a message and let you know what happens by the end of the week ;)

[@nataliispeaks]

@@insaneintherainmusic and we never heard back. I guess it fell through

[@AngelaRoseHeart]

Aaaaaahhhhh!!!! Two things: (1)You playing my favorite video game music and (2)it was uploaded on my birthday!!!

[@FlammableLizard]

You should definitely feature Carlos more in your videos! He's got some serious talent! :'D What a lovely cover!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Carlos is a great collaborator! The music is quite wonderful, check out Project Destati's work :)

[@DesDeLaNet]

So, Carlos actually agreed to a collaboration? Wow, dude. That's amazing. You both work together so well. I'd definitely love to see him back again.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I think you will ;)

[@Posyomero0]

Seven years and still the best version of this theme around

[@Turminal1]

This song has singlehandedly changed my favorite genre of music

[@tetraubetcha]

love the way you blend in Dearly Beloved and Hikari into the arrangement, absolutely beautiful

[@OneWingedPenguin]

Love this! I can't stop listening to it since it came out. I really love how you put Dearly Beloved underneath Simple and Clean, it worked out so well! Great job.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks so much for listening to my rendition :)

[@epicness877]

Dude the control at rhe beginning is insane really caught me still

[@frankfiol6225]

Every cover you touch turns to gold, and I mean that. These Kingdom Hearts songs really are splendid.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

thanks so much... fire hydrant? really appreciate it

[@jermzamiah2021]

Your music added a wonderful atmosphere to my friend's wedding dinner reception. great stuff man, we had a spotify playlist with your stuff :D

[@PitTan]

TWO CARLOS IN A ROOM?! OMG I CAN'T TAKE IT. I'M SCREAMING. Great cover though, so beautiful :')

[@jasmineb65]

This is AWESOME!!!!! Im ecstatic that you did a jazz cover of Simple and Clean. You think you could do more kingdom hearts songs? And if so pretty please do Sanctuary or Simple and clean Ray of Hope. Your wonderful musician and I hope you keep making these jazz covers.

[@jasmineb65]

Or Nier automata if possible

[@magicalficus1439]

jasmineb65 It would be fantastic to hear more. ✨

[@insaneintherainmusic]

It'd be nice to do more, but I've gotta spread the love across multiple series! Throw those songs into my request sheet via the link near the bottom of the description - that's the easiest way for me to keep track of requests!

[@afternoonkittea]

Love Utada Hikaru, love KH and love you guys! Thanks so much for doing this! The inclusion of both the melodies of Simple & Clean and Hikari was a great touch ^^ Also lol, the description ^^

[@insaneintherainmusic]

You're welcome! It's really interesting that Simple and Clean & Hikari only have a different chorus.

[@QuentinDuboc]

Thank you for everything you have done, you're the best saxophone player I have ever heard and you were such an influence on my music and my work, I want to become a multi-instrumentalist like you are. Since nobody has ever wanted to play music with me, I want to be able to play full songs by myself like you do. Please don't disappear from the internet, you bring so much joy to the people that listen to your music

[@snazzysnorlax42]

I haven't played my tenor in MONTHS, and this inspired me to get it out tonight. Beautiful music! Absolutely LOVE this simple, yet clean, cover. So beautiful. Keep it up! Loving your content so far, man.

[@tommylangejans5783]

It's a crime that this channel isn't in the million subscriber range. So good.

[@cobblestonegenerator]

That overlay of dearly beloved just left me breathless. Soooo good.

[@cattusahoy]

So impressive that you did both of these parts in one take-- I mean with no cuts in the middle of the video! You just played the whole thing and slayed it! :D I loved this arrangement!

[@TPelton22]

YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!!!

Don't you mean.... 358/2 days!? (I regret nothing...)

[@iqbalfebri4082]

i never thought you'll collaborate with carlos , please carlos you must collaborate more with him ! this cover is so wonderful ~

[@stalekarma3262]

Simple though it may be, this cover is my favorite of yours that I’ve ever heard. Your growth in the few years since it’s been covered is truly commendable. One day people will be covering and spreading awareness of your own compositions, allowing you to touch the hearts of so many more with your music, just as you’ve touched mine.

[@isabellahightower5337]

Ok it is official I love you! Kingdom hearts on play station 2 was my favorite! and this cover literally made me cry because I was so happy! Love you and your channel!

[@theramdomchannel1798]

it's so Nice that you finally give credit to Carlos Eiene. I always saw his hands playing the keyboard on the other videos.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

He deserved some recognition!

[@AkaneSasuSora]

Wow, this cover is literally Simple and Clean. I love it.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Great to hear :3

[@godoatthegoat2884]

Still one of your best works. I don't know what it is about this song, it just works so well with sax.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Ah thanks! This is a really exposed arrangement

[@fatherlyalot4255]

I heard this song before I heard the original. At the time, it was just a song that insaneintherainmusic made. It immediately hit something in me, though. I loved it. I've been using this as sleep aid for the nights I couldn't sleep. I've played along with it so many times on my trumpet (Not the solo's yet. Still slowly deciphering them). This song legitimately means a lot to me. Probably my favorite arrangement Carlos has made, if not, definitely Route 228. I love your music, Carlos. And I love you -- for being who you are. Even though I've never met you, and probably never will. Thank you so much.

[@DavidRussell323]

Love this

[@magicalficus1439]

DavidRussell323 It was amazing and I loved it! ( *cough* favorite game in the series including the soundtrack?)

[@DavidRussell323]

oh gosh. Days has my favorite story, but I think KH2's OST is just all-around pefect. I can never get enough Sacred Moon in my life hahaha

[@magicalficus1439]

DavidRussell323​ True, true. I tear up whenever I hear Xion's theme and At Dusk I Will Always Think of You.

[@lyblank6946]

This cover is simply and clean in the way that it's making me feel tonight.

[@notkamui9749]

This was indeed simple and clean from you Carlos. And having another prodigy as Carlos by your side makes it even better. I also know a certain Carlos Eiene, can you collaborate with him later ? I think he's pretty good too (probably the same level as you, or even more 'cause he keeps going better and better every time ;D )

[@jessierose13]

I'm quite happy you dropped this cover on this specific day. Today is the day I finally Platinumed Kingdom Hearts II, and it also happens to be the day before my birthday!

[@korzen4183]

always find myself back to this song. its just too good.

[@swordeilm3507]

I thought you guys did this already, since this is such a famous theme!This may be the first decent jazz rendition of this song, guys!!History is being made before our eyes!!!!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I haven't done this song ever before :)

[@swordeilm3507]

To be honest, we wouldnt mind if this is your 2nd cover ;) Awesome work!

[@gazzamuso]

How is no one talking about all the flawless harmonic register work!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Most people here don't play saxophone ;)

[@peachoolongg]

Thank you SO MUCH for producing this wonderful, wonderful music for me to listen to while I'm studying! It fills me with so much calm and good vibes, which are much needed during finals week! Keep doing what you're doing, you're awesome!

[@madgizmo2212]

....I never thought a cover of this song without singing would sound so freaking good.

[@aceisawesome_]

Man, I've been a big fan of Carlos for a while now. So glad to see him getting the attention he deserves :D

[@insaneintherainmusic]

i know, he's wonderful :3

[@victoravila5575]

i loved that piano arrangement in the background so much! gives it a chill aura, with some nostalgia bearing within it

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks so much man! Dearly Beloved added a nice touch as part of the background :)

[@TheDivineToasterr]

I've been a fan of Kingdom Hearts since I was tiny and the moment I heard the piano start up I pressed that like button and added it to all my playlists. Amazing work on this song. You capture the emotions of the game very well! Keep it up~. I love your work!

[@willbeatty9097]

dang that Carlos Eiene guy is really good. you should collab more often

[@HoopsandHipHop]

[@sethfarmer590]

The way you worked in "Dearly Beloved" was pretty brilliant.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

[@JeffreyWangViolin]

Wow I've been wanting you to play this song for quite a while :D amazing job!

[@davisginn1298]

I've never played a Kingdom Hearts game, but so many people people tell me it's their favorite game of all time. This cover really enforced to that I really should check it out, because there was crazy amounts of emotion and awesomeness in this, plus I can see how much you love it!! Also shoutout to your 'featured' artist Carlos, I'll definitely have to check out his channel 😂

[@magicalficus1439]

davis ginn If you think this is emotional, wait till you hear some of the other songs in the series! (,•﹏•,) You won't be disappointed!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I've only played one of the games in the series a long time ago... Chain of Memories, I think it was? I've heard that that one isn't that good compared to some of the other KH games, so I'll have to check those out too :)

[@davisginn1298]

insaneintherainmusic Gotcha! I've heard from a few of my friends that Kingdom Hearts 2 was their favorite, so I think I might start on that one. Anyways though, amazing cover as always!

[@clc3233]

davis ginn if you want to understand the story and what's actually going on I recommend starting with the first game. that way you can understand what's going on on kh2, if you skip the first and start playing from kh2 your going to be lost.

[@chrisba3278]

You finally did it, oh man this is hype. I've been waiting for the KH cover. This is so smooth and great.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Happy to please, man!

[@halvinalvin]

I absolutely loved everything about this video Carlos, both visually and musically. This is definitely a new favorite of mine, fantastic stuff man.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

thanks so much eric! i just remembered that your logo has that key on it, haha

[@nessiebwur]

I love that "Dearly Beloved" is in the background

[@insaneintherainmusic]

yeah :3 this arrangement started off as a dearly beloved arrangement, but I decided to go with the simple & clean melody instead :)

[@haekoth]

Man, this one was incredible, cannot find a single flaw in it. One of my favourites from you, for sure. Also, props to you for the editing!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Ah, thanks so much! Editing and filming this was pretty fun to do :)

[@garrettm611]

[@insaneintherainmusic]

right?? i wish more people knew about carlos! he's cool!

[@EvgeniyNeutralMusician]

Love how you go in the world of Music completely, if you know what I mean. I can do it as well, but only as a listener. Or maybe it's just question of time and dedication, when it comes to performing as well... Wait, if I think about it deeper, actually I can even when playing, but the skill in playing and performing is another question, isn't it. Anyway, bravo, Carlos, this is another super soulful jazz cover. Was huge pleasure to listen, I went to the world of music, as closed my eyes couple of times. It was beautiful. Keep up the brilliance.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I think I know what you mean :) Thanks for listening!

[@Jerichords]

I was actually thinking the other day when you were gonna do something from Kingdom Hearts, and here we are!

[@samuelmoehring3783]

You were already working with great source material, but you have a managed to make it even better! I really enjoy that you keep the lid on the volume throughout the piece, never turning it into a pedal-to-the-metal screamfest. It fits well with the sweet, intimate tone of the song. Also props for the progression from low-register playing (an area that doesn't get enough love on tenor!) to high stuff. Really well executed and quietly intense! Keep it coming!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks so much man! I wanted this one to be a long, build, and it definitely came out that way! I love the low register sound on tenor so much, it's so warm and velvety when you subtone it. Thanks again :)

[@jelanistowers6504]
