Kingdom Hearts 2 - Dearly Beloved [Extended w/ DL Link]

"Before we begin, I would like to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for my life, and all the gifts which I've been given in it, including the ability to make this extension."
"Alkahest"s original upload of this video was over a decade old and had nearly 11 million views. There were hundreds, if not, thousands of stories, memories and tales told by the people in the comment section.
Seeing his channel disabled and all the videos being taken down with it, made me really sad. His extensions were always with me in hard and sad times.
Even if this reupload cannot replace the beautiful comments that were once written, it carries the memories of them...
Thank you Alkahest, for your extension, and the memories you provided, and made. Thank you Yoko Shimomura, for composing this beatiful track.
The audio belongs to Square Enix. I don't own anything. This video was uploaded for promotional purposes. I do not make any money out of the video.

My only hope is that there is one more out there, one to forever wipe away the pain and allow us to have a better future than the past.

The relationship I have with this music is so deep I’m not even able to explain. I can just see all my life, like a movie playing in front of me. Kingdom Hearts is one of the greatest things in my life. This game saved me, it saves me everyday and it gave me so much beauty that I wish everyone could experience. This franchise is my heart and my soul, and I’m thankful for this every single day of my life. I grew up with this story and I’ll cherish it forever. Thanks Kingdom Hearts, just thanks ❤️.

Dear Kingdom Hearts, I'm writing to express my deepest gratitude for everything you've done for me. When I was a kid, I was bullied and felt like I didn't have any friends. But then I discovered your game, and everything changed. Through your story and characters, I learned about the power of friendship and the importance of believing in myself. I felt like I was part of something bigger than myself, and that gave me the strength to keep going. I can't even imagine where I would be today if I hadn't found you. You showed me that no matter how dark things may seem, there's always hope. You gave me a reason to believe in myself and the people around me. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for saving my life and showing me the true power of friendship. Sincerely, Me ❤

[@juliuskresnik198]

It's odd, to be filled with such Nostalgia so early in life. You hear so often as you grow up of how it'll feel, traces of experience, muddled with time and yet fondly remembered nonetheless. The melancholy, I didn't expect it tonight. But, I have so much more life to live. I'm only 22. Recently diagnosed and medicated for a disorder I'd only heard about a year ago. Things make sense now, I feel in control like never before. And yet, I look back here, this music thawing my disjointed memories and reminding me of the person I was. I see that kid, lost and scared, stumbling about in the dark on his own despite knowing deep down something was wrong. He didn't give up. It came close a few times, it really did but at every opportunity, he chose to be better. To be that stubborn little bastard he'd seen on TV and Video Games. And now, I lay here at night, turning to the next chapter. I'm learning to drive again, learning to relax, got a new job and I've even got a tentative plan for the future, even if it means starting over again. I'm still that kid but I wouldn't be where I am without the little guy who found peace in this Title Screen, in this game. The past fills me with a soft sorrow and a warm peace in equal measure, and yet the future calls out to me, the future that little kid had always wanted. I'll take it in both hands and make him proud. I'll add to this collection of disjointed memories. I'll add the laughter, joy, love, excitement, pain, peace and perseverance of a lifetime as the man I've always wanted to be.

[@woegarden]

this is beautiful. i'm feeling similar things at 25. the feeling of being lost with the entire world in view in front of you is paralyzing but looking back, i know the person i was who i don't remember smiles at me proudly. we carry on for the ones we love, that includes ourselves. thanks you for sharing this, i hope your life gets a little easier as time goes on.

[@treebeard7298]

Saudade - an emotional state of melancholic or profoundly nostalgic longing for a beloved yet absent something or someone. It derives from the Latin word for solitude. It is often associated with a repressed understanding that one might never encounter the object of longing ever again. It is a recollection of feelings, experiences, places, or events, often elusive, that cause a sense of separation from the exciting, pleasant, or joyous sensations they once caused.

I remember watching my older cousins play Kingdom Hearts when I was a little kid. It wasn't until I had my own console and bought the game a few years ago, did I finally understand why people love this franchise. I had no idea that just by playing a simple game, my whole outlook on life would change. Light. Darkness. Heart. Friendship. Dreams. Hope. Destiny I learned it all through the adventure of a boy who simply wished to explore the worlds outside of his own. He and I both went on that journey together, and together we both went through the light and darkness. We both learned of the power that dwells within our hearts. We laughed. We cried. We did it all. May your heart be your guiding key, my dearest friends

[@barret4462]

Nothing will ever hit like this song. It reminds me of the childhood I lost, the person I used to be, and the things ill never get back. It reminds me of when my family was around, when i had good friends, when i was just doing whatever i wanted whenever i want and having true freedom. It brings me back to the love i once i had for everything and everyone in my life and the terrible things i went through, coming out stronger and more joyful than before. It pains me deeply and comforts me to hear this song. I wish i could be that person again.

[@jonathanm9993]

"Before we begin, I would like to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for my life, and all the gifts which I've been given in it, including the ability to make this extension" I remeber that quote and while it always struck me as odd, being a less religious person I found it to be awfully fitting for this soothing beuty of a song, which has given me so much comfort over my lifespan

Funny how a KZbin video had such a big impact on my life. Not only was Alkahest’s extension of Dearly Beloved II my introduction to Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy, but it was also always there for me when I was sad or when I just felt like listening to this beautiful song (Everyday, basically). The funny thing is, I’ve bought KH2’s Soundtrack on CD but somehow listening to it on there just doesn’t feel the same as Alkahest’s video, even though it’s still the same song.

It was the RPG I ever played and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@MrSupperkid567]

[@KaryuBunny]

This song reminds me of my childhood friend, going to her house and playing it for the first time. Conversations on the bus ride home about Sora. It all reminds me of back then, the laughs and the phone calls about where we were in the game and the plans we had to cosplay the characters one day. Life threw us in different directions, and we never got to keep those plans, but I treasure all the memories and nostalgia the game has given me. This song is bitter sweet to me, and although it calms me down, it melts around me in a sea of sorrow and joy, showing all the old scattered memories of my childhood with it. The characters mean so much to me, I grew up with them all, and their journey

[@prycenewberg3976]

There was something so magical about this game that I've never found in any other game and the title theme hits me like a ton of bricks every time I hear it. When I first moved out, I didn't have any furniture. I had an air mattress, a small TV, a PS2, and this. It somehow got me through.

[@Rawking143]

Thank you God, that I know and love the song since beeing a little kid. Most great time in life..

[@Charred_Orpheus]

I used to live in a coastal town growing up, so I kinda relate to the nostalgia some of the characters have for the beach and the sound of the waves. Once, during a particularly difficult time in my life, I went back to that very same beach and sat in front of the waves for a while whilst listening to this song. Ever since then hearing this song in the menu with the wave sounds has always brought me back to that time, like a safe space in my mind that's only ever a few clicks away. Thank you to the one who uploaded this video and to the Alkahest YT channel, though sadly no longer around, for all its Dearly Beloved extensions. Thank you to Yoko Shimomura for composing this wonderful song and the feelings it's given me over the years, and finally, thank you to you for reading this far.

The sense of loss and hope this music brings is astounding. A decade after finishing that game I am trying to remember my mom. Today would have been her birthday. So much has happened since she passed and I remember so little about my childhood that I have no idea what she'd even think of me, if she'd be proud of me, etc. Gaming and music were hobbies that she shared with me, and I'm grasping at everything I can to honor her memory for her birthday.

I’m 15 yo and I’ve been knowing about kingdom hearts for a very little time, and this game is what I’ve always needed for my entire life, the emotions that I’m feeling are filling a hole that I have been having since I was a kid. I’ve many interests and some of them literally saved my life, but this game, I can’t even explain what I feel, it makes me feel like a kid more than I’ve ever felt in my life. I just wish I had known about kh when I was little, I wouldn’t have lived many years of my life in pain, it would have been perfect to see the game for the first time in a shop and start playing it completely blind on the story, the characters and the songs. But I think that as a girl with no older sister and brothers and with nobody that would have introduced me to this, it’s a fair trade, the most important thing is that I can enjoy this game. Now I feel complete and I can be a child forever. Thank you.

[@mysteriousfigure5996]

This game is so special to me. Everytime I boot up KH2, my late brother was always watching me play, like he was my only audience behind me while playing KH2. Thanks to this game our bond became so much stronger. Not until he passed away few years ago, his death hit me hard to the point I lost interest in this series. I tried avoiding things that made me remember him, including avoiding playing KH because it reminds me of him. Because everytime I remember that he's gone and he will never be my audience again while playing KH, I feel so depressed. Until KH4 was announced, I was so happy and excited for the upcoming game! My love for this series came back eventually. The more I avoid things that makes me remember him, the more it comes back at me naturally. I feel like my brother's spirit still lingers in me and still guides me wherever I go. The memories we had with this game is the one keeps me moving forward. When I heard this song for the first time again I teared up.

Please never let this version of Dearly Beloved die. This version is by far my favorite. It's so much fuller and more emotional than any other version. Maybe it is partially because of the memories I have with it, I don't think so though. Musically speaking it's just amazing. The accents, tempo, musical expression, instrument balance... everything. I have a lot of mental issues, and this version basically got me through high school. I would listen to it for hours on end, and still do when I need to feel some peace. The only other song I can compare to this that I know is The Journey (Destiny 2) by the Kronos Quartet. Also if anyone knows if this version is on spotify help me out

[@Bocchi101]

@Aokres look up kingdom hearts 2 ost and you will find it. Btw the album is made by a guy called Denz

[@manulcarp6387]

I think the only one available is the 2.5 version but yeah it is on Spotify by Yoko Shimomura

Dearly beloved is my ringtone on my phone. I'm nearly 50 years old still remembering how this game and soundtrack touched my heart when I was going through my divorce and my 2 little girls that played this game with me in our apartment.

[@Binjoconney586]

Same bruh, right now next month is my birthday and I want to spend it on my dad’s only childhood game 😢

[@CherishedJoysASMR]

This game was my escape daydream 24/7, even when not playing. It literally saved my child and teenage self, along with my only friend. Countless nights falling asleep crying, with this song being my lullaby and a hope for better days coming. I'm turning 27 this year. Being suicidal, never thought back then I would make it so far. I wanted to unalive myself while listening to this, to finally find peace and be free. Now here I am, having not played any of the games for years, as an adult, listening to this. Echoing of times long gone.. I'm crying again.. But it feels cathartic now. All my selves are crying, but the little ones are not alone and scared anymore. Dearly beloved indeed. Thank you Yoko Shimomura 🤍 "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."

[@andrewzuniga5488]

Thank you so much Henry, for showing me this masterpiece of a game, I remember watching you play through the game as a kid and I was always intrigued to see your progress and beat every single title in the series, even though I was young and I wasn't really aware of what the game was really about, I always enjoyed it and found it cool, now 14 years later as a man myself, playing through it myself, I must say this is truly one of those games you can connect to on a different emotional scale... the power of love and friendship, brotherhood. Thank you, my brother, my guardian, may you forever rest in peace , I love you man.

[@jacobmartinez1786]

Been listening to this every night ever since you posted. Thank you!

[@jacobmartinez1786]

Still listening

[@mross6116]

I'm glad you reuploaded this. The OG channel was amazing. I was crushed when I went to listen to this again and it was gone.

[@marissamollohan789]

This is the song Im walking down the aisle to :)

[@albertjuarez611]

Your going to have the best wedding for real especially with this song as you walk down the aisle

[@Dahnvincente13]

It’s been 16 years since I’ve played this game. I miss it. It was a happy game to play during sad times, difficult times, and disruptive times. I miss the feelings that came with it too. All the first-time reactions of feeling what the characters felt, how you played the game, and the way it made you feel, is truly priceless. This song, in my opinion, is the best version of dearly beloved.

[@HolyGoddessMotherAnne]

This game was my nirvana during a lot of crap and other bad stuff I was dealing with at the time, this game amongst others was my relief.

[@acr4715]

I still remember the anticipation for the release of KH3 ❤ It took so long.

[@RamzaBeoulve02]

The beautifully mastered music brings so much nostalgia, deep sadness, and an appreciation for where i am today compared to where I was when I was younger and played this.

[@cillbipher2613]

Man....I didn't even know Alkahest's channel got disabled...that's a punch to the gut right there.

[@saenstopie]

I'm loyal to Alkahest's upload, so thank you.

[@Aggressivechomp]

When I was younger this game was given to me by my mom’s girlfriend. I will never forget the joy of that day and booting up this game for the first time. From then until now the girlfriend died and my mom is completely off the rails on drugs. This piece of art just brings me back to better times

[@carlpieraccini2088]

It really does hurt

[@Purgatoriesify]

Definitely one of the most impactful video games of my youth. Played it countless times and now years later , I’m driving my daughter around our neighborhood until she dozes off to this track, Twilight Town and so many others. Forever grateful for this gem in my childhood.

[@nicoleguzman5438]

Was so scared this was gone forever 🥺 this song gives me so much peace. Would have been very sad over this version being gone forever. Thank you

[@josephkalima2267]

My first time hearing this song was from playing kingdom hearts gba rom on the gba emulator, that's how I later got immersed into the world of kingdom hearts, from that day onwards I have never been in regrets playing kingdom hearts series, the story, the music, the fights scenes , the sleights, its been a journey, it taught me a lot one being to value friendship and people who are close to us since they later become memories, its a flash back of my childhood and guess I'm not the only who wished to have a time machine, anyways to all kingdom hearts fans out there love you guys.

[@connerlowney]

I thought I was going crazy because I couldn't find the original, it's sad to see the original channel was taken down. Thank you for re-uploading this, I get lost in this video

[@jamesmeikle7216]

All the dearly beloved renditions are great but there's something really special about how kh2's opens. It sounds so incredibly sad but those little chimes are giving it a feeling of hope as well. Turning this game on after coming back from school as a maniac 7yr old always forced me to immediately calm down lol. This game and it's version of dearly beloved especially, taught me that music has the ability to not only make you want to dance, but can fill you with any emotion possible.

[@Shadow-mq7rt]

This game got me through a lot when I was younger. I suppressed a lot of negative emotions because of how fixated I was on it, which wasn't helpful for the me now who deals with a lot of undealt trauma. But this song...I remember just sitting a few times at the startup screen and just crying to this composition. It's also what got me interested in playing classical music, haha.

[@samapak7]

Sad to see the original Alkahest video gone. I'm glad you kept the comment from the description about the devotion to Jesus Christ.

[@skgoth555]

This song and the term beauty is in the eye of the beholder was introduced to me as a child I think it gets to me sometimes

[@602BDawg602]

That first piano note just hits so hard and the rest keeps you on that high the whole song through, it literally gives me chills every time like the music is vibrating my soul, the sheer nostalgia just does something beautiful

[@LightningCayo]

Man, as someone who didn’t play Kingdom Hearts until recently with 0.2 and currently 3D, I wasn’t all that interested. Now that I have, I’m seeing why people love this series so much. And the music is just heavenly. Edit: I’m on Re:Chain of Memories now. 3D was a blast.

[@YOKIMY2000]

X would have gone crazy to know part 4 was coming out…rip XXX

[@woolblocks]

after falling into the deepest pits of despair and anguish, hating myself in every way possible, with no will to live, know this saved my life. This song has my heart. To anyone on their journey stumbling upon this message, even if you find yourself in the deepest bit of hell, know there is hope, there always is and there always will be...love ya ❤

[@Iruzi_P]

Back in 2008, we finally have internet access at our home. One of the first things I did was copied the disc into my computer and find every method available at the time to extract the music from the game. I got it. It was one of the best moments in my life. The best game and the best music, replayable forever on my computer... until the computer blew up. Remember everyone, do not skimp on the PSU.

[@bushspring]

This music touched my heart in the most peculiar way as a small boy and even now, I have no way to describe what that feeling is. Maybe a strange longing for something a little more, a little bit of comfort and understanding. This soundtrack made me realise there is a soul and it exist in all of us and even though I didnt grasp the ridiculous complexity of the KH storyline it left a lingering idea in my heart and it was hummanity, love, the beauty of bonds and friendship and how even in death thats all that ever mattered was the people we loved and those who cared for us. If god gave me the chace I'd die for the ones I love and to only make the world a greater place I'd happily sacrifice myself. This song reminds me of my hummanity.

[@HeyShotgun]

Depression time! Dearly beloved!

[@redtail564]

When I first played KH2, this opening gave me the feeling of being alone at a beach and being the only guy on an island. All I wanted was my own world as a kid, away from everyone who ever treated me like I was nothing. This game made my final years as a kid something to remember. My heart goes out to the developers who made this game. They made a work of art that will live on.

[@NightNinja1998]

To this day... My favorite song probably of all time in video games, and... My favorite version. I may view a lot of things differently now as a Christian, but... There was always a certain peace with Kingdom Hearts growing up, maybe because I had the worst luck with friends who would stay by my side and stay loyal... Maybe because of all the fighting between my mom and dad growing up making me need something to escape it... For sure... I feel the Holy Spirit upon me whenever I hear Dearly Beloved... For some reason... This song feels healing to the soul too... And... God I think is letting me know this for a reason... I don't know what the reason is currently... But... All I do know is this song will forever have a special place in my heart. God bless you all, and I pray we all do have those good friends, and Jesus Christ to always be by our sides. 🫂🙏🏻

[@ZanePalmer]

In the Alkahest comments section I told a story about my girlfriend agreeing to play this song at our wedding someday. I’m here today because my now wife is lying in bed with me and wanted to hear the song from our wedding again.

Dearly Beloved is probably the only song I could listen to for hours straight and never get tired of it.

This is the most heartfelt, but saddest soundtrack I ever heard because of my anger, actions, responsibilities after I frustratedly broke my electronics again and again before I understand my mistakes.😟😭😢💰
