Request. Really creepy, but awesome. Remix of Sacred Moon.

[@StarSeeker35]

That violin at 1:20 truly emphasizes just how alone you are in The World That Never Was. If it weren't for your Dream Eaters, you really would be.

[@Bravidunno]

1:29 That reminds me Dark Impetus.

[@CaptainCJ97]

Braviaggron yup

[@Friendly_Neighborhood_Qrock]

whaoh , what a hint bro. ' no wonder we fight him in the game later as Riku

[@BlaxeFrost-X]

@@Bravidunno the whole section that starts in 1:20 has the leitmotif of one part of dark impetus, YOU ARE FREAKING RIGHT!!! This soundtrack always surprises me

[@danielreyes5165]

I totally get that vibe too now that you mention it!!

[@Soraalam1]

Easily much prefer this to Sacred Moon. This is so much... I don't know, "heavier", everything holds more weight to me and still perfectly fits with TWTNW.

[@IvanLerma759]

yay i thought so too

[@SuperPlaytendo]

This theme really represents Sora’s side of TWTNW as the point of no return. Sora knows what he’s getting himself into but he can’t do anything to prevent himself from falling into the abyss

[@thatjrpganimefanplayerjusi8003]

Soraalam1 i agree in my opinion and interpretation this song really shows the feeling of a world of people that have lost everything they once were there true human selfs but all they have left was this world that never really existed and I like to think that xemnas created at least the part of him aka the terra part the home that was snatch away from him xemnas stemming off of that influence he tried to create a new home a world that his other side of him self xehanort stole away aka YOU WONT NEED A HOME ANYMORE WERE YOUR GOING! Xehanorts BBS before taking terra’s world away from him

[@LuigiaTV]

Nah I disagree Sacred Moon is much better for me and more fitting to This world. I guess they both depend on the context of the game they are in but Sacred Moon has the main melody giving the sense of something sacred/mysterious having been discovered combined with what sounds like the cries or prayers of nobodies in the background. The atmosphere is just perfectly suited to the world. This one is too melodramatic that I dont think it represents the world itself but more the story climax incoming.

[@captaincraftit696]

Personally, I feel Sacred Moon is a reflection of the Nobodies as we understood them from what we were told earlier on in Days and 2. Beings that "acted" emotional but were cold and empty inside, almost robotically serving their master Xemnas, only remembering the emotions they lost and somewhere deep down knowing they needed to be whole, even if they couldn't feel it. Granted, Nobodies _can_ feel and grow new hearts from what we know now, but back then, all we had was what we were told, and the fact that it didn't quite match up if we read between the lines via Days. Meanwhile, Sacred Distance is what the Nobodies really are. Cold and empty but not emotionless, if anything tormented over what they are and what they have become. Roxas, Axel, and (if you even count her as a Nobody, though really, she isn't) Xion were outliers, having some spark of positivity with each-other to look forward to. Meanwhile, all the rest were either floundering in their own emptiness, or even ignoring it and planning their own goals and agendas, but all tainted by said nothingness nonetheless. That, in tandem with the fact that this world is where the trap is sprung on Sora and he is sent into a dark abyss of his own, not quite nothingness but still cast down sort-of like how the Nobodies were... ... Well, if you ask me, both fit but for different reasons. Sacred Moon is the song of emptiness, calculated planning and methodical, robotic work. Sacred Distance is the song of loss and pain, and of teetering on the brink of the abyss.

The World That Never Was always has amazing music. And, for some reason, I find it a lot more calm and beautiful than creepy.

[@andreatondi4574]

Well, TWTNW always had the melancholic vibe. Creepiness is pretty subdued, yet still present.

[@nickyl3884]

I only beat DDD once on my 3ds years ago when it came out, so I honestly forgot this song but HOLY SHIT this might be the best KH music ever

Anyone noticed that this is a mix between Keylade Graveyard and fucked up Dearly Beloved arranged in the way it will resemble TWTNW theme?

[@faisalalmuallem506]

+Animus Silica this one's strong.

[@Fragmentsinfractals488]

Yes. It is the desolation of the Grave, the emptiness of a Darkness damaged heart, and the Abyss. Also, Sora's care for those lost to Darkness in destroying him.

[@TanteiGH]

Definitely senses the Keyblade Graveyard

[@byxsis2371]

Dearly Beloved - the starting song of every game Keyblade Graveyard - the place master Xehanort (old) really seems to like to go to Given the context that sora was gonna be a xehanort, this is basically Xehanort on the starting screen of a KH game, because it's *his* turn to play as / use Sora. This theme is crazy

[@ItsDaKoolaidDude]

Holy shit, tv tropes was right, it really _does_ sound like a distorted "dearly beloved"

[@AlphaXXI]

+ItsDaKoolaidDude The violin sounds like Dark Impetus too.

[@MooreIsLess1]

This music makes me think. I am walking, physics is messing up around me. I feel light-headed, sleepy, and fall asleep. But I was already asleep and dreaming, and thus forms a dream within a dream. Physics screws up worse and worse, rain goes upwards, Buildings on the ground are upside. Aeroplanes are underground. Gravity shifts as I walk. . . and this keeps on happening until eventually the result is so chaotic I fall into complete oblivion. . .

[@colinprevatt9439]

Wow, I think you captured the essence of the world that never was perfectly. I'd about expect things like that to happen in a place that wasn't meant to exist.

[@The_Argent_Dragon]

Dearly beloved and sacred moon. Both reminders of the intense bond between sora and riku...tied into one amazing piece.

[@DrBepis-jo7qt]

An apt description for this song would be something like... Wandering in a city of nothingness, lost and alone. A place where my dreams are my only company, even though they do not truly exist. Is there an end? Was there even a beginning? All I know is the path forward keeps going. Essentially, lost in a world of lies filled with figments of distorted reality

This world. We never fully discovered its secrets. Or unraveled it’s mysteries. I want to come back to it in kingdom hearts 4. Hopefully we will.

[@nessshrug5222]

I didnt realize until now but In some parts of this song you can hear "dearly beloved" the main menu screen In every kingdom hearts game that's actually so cool

[@Zyaire286]

The World That Never Was…. Such a strange yet has the familiarity feeling to it. It’s been crazy that after all these years, we never consider the world look almost similar to our modern city. Spoiler Alert(don’t click unless know lord of Kh) It’s crazy that Xenhonort has held knowledge of unreality to the point of creating a full blown world that never meant to be in the place of fairy tales. This one simple belief deputy all the way from Dark Road would cause so much unnecessary damage yet similar to master of master held many backups , to the point that Young Xenhonort has perfectly replicate The World That Never Was as a sleeping world. Xenhonort may be gone yet for some reason we will be seeing him again, not from the realm of Kh but the realm of quadtraum.

[@mason0448]

[@foxywoxy0w068]

As the world starts to crack, Light shall fall with Darkness replacing it's call. A sacred moon looming over a cold forgotten and rotting city. A castle to refuge sinners without Hearts. Love, Anger, Hate and Joy is left forgotten in this world until the day the moon shines bright and replaces Darkness with Light. For now we wait, in this endless slumber with only Hearts to satisfy our hunger. Kingdom Hearts...... may your blessed Light shine over us until the day comes for us to have Hearts. Hearts we don't have, but our emotions still with us, an empty shell you and I. Are we whats left? Or maybe never was? Nobody will remember us when we fade. Nobody will care if we die. Because we....are...those....N.O.B.O.D.I.E.S

This is fantastic, but I'm curious if it would be possible to remix this to focus on the eerie synthesized noise that's going through the whole thing. (The one that sounds like you're blowing into a bottle incorrectly.)

This is probably my favorite track in all the Kingdom Hearts games. It just has that ominous, sad feeling to it. The piano is just absolutely perfect. I hope they include this in later games.

[@deancolstad3811]

You guys ever think about how TWTNW is just the shell of the worlds that are consumed by darkness? Kinda like the relationship between Heartless and Nobodies You only fight Nobodies in TWTNW, and you only fight Heartless in The End of the World

[@windwaker2094]

Looking back this track this has a more mystic feeling when you're going through this world for the first time since it's the organization's world you don't expect stuff like actual buildings that bend and stuff it's shame that this world is kind of short when you're playing as Sora cuz it is a great final area

I kinda hear aqua's theme at the ending part

FACTS

[@rodrigoladanid198]

Perfectly captures the feeling that something bad is going to happen but you dont know exactly what or why its going to or who is doing it. It has a sinister but at the same time saddening "tone"?

[@lookslikenik6931]

It really fits the Organization because they are the Main Bad Guys but also the Nobodys are a so tragic Species and all of them are misunderstood.

[@FreakigesSternchen]

Is it just me or does this sound a bit like a "dark" version of Dearly Beloved?

[@keisui89]

the feeling i got when first stepping foot into this world is similar to the feeling i got when the mystic music started up and the words "escape the castle" flashed on the screen in 358/2 , something i cant quite describe , yet those two gameplay segments give me the same exact feeling

[@hezekiahthompson6817]

Love this track so much. It's kind my little "check in" song whenever I'm confused about life, lol.

[@Nines_XIII]

Honestly, I think this is the best song in the OST. And maybe not only in DDD, but of the whole franchise. That piano in the middle that sounds like "Dearly Beloved"... it gives me chills! Think about it. It describes the perfect scene for Sora. The song is like madness, like it has no end to that greif, that nightmare. And the "Dearly Beloved" piano, you notice it has a variation from the original? I like to think it's Sora curving away to the darkness... Thank you, Yoko, Takeharu and Tsuyoshi.

[@captaincraftit696]

For anyone who has Sacred Distance downloaded, download Audacity, and run the whole song through a Paulstretch with a stretch factor of 10 and a time resolution of 1 second.

[@dancooper5423]

Why?

[@emmaray6215]

I absolutely adore this music piece!!!!! The violin part at 1:21 weirdly reminds me of Castlevania.

[@quitecloudy1]

If you listen closely, you can hear a part of Dearly Beloved play with some off notes.

[@YXiao]

If one were to pick a song to represent all OSTs of the entire KH series, this could be the one.

[@Stradiwhovius963]

Reminds me a little of Castle Bleck's theme. More of a tone thing than any sort of resemblance, but still.

[@gagejoseph91]

Its actually not Dearly Beloved backwards, but you ARE close. It IS based on Dearly Beloved. This song is a slightly higher key than Dearly Beloved with added notes. This version, specifically, is much closer to the tone and tempo of Dearly Beloved. A video for Dearly Beloved should be in the video suggestions to the side. Have it in a different tab so both videos are up and compare Sacred Distance to Dearly Beloved(not both at once) and you'll hear the similarities pretty clearly.

Vanitas is, in a way, a heartless, when you think about it. He was created from the darkness in Ventus' heart. Heartless are beings created from the darkness in people's heart. He was created in a different way, but is essentially the same thing. just some food for thought.
