Taylor Davis Me pregunto si Temtlkin Habib

[@hendraadiputra3783]

Taylor Davis beautiful song

[@shigatsuuu]

Taylor Davis i love your version from Dearly beloved

[@PlaceStillMatters]

Just listening to the likes of Doug Hammer and Helen Jane Long and your video popped up in the suggestions. This song is really beautiful.

[@daltonriebold8530]

Is this the theme song for anyone elses childhood? These games were my life for so long

[@alanj1280]

100% agree

[@pusheeners]

HECK YEAH DAMN IT

[@TeamIcarus1]

Yup ever since I was 4 years old

[@sugarshock7925]

It's funny actually....I always called Kingdom Hearts my favourite game, even though I didn't own it for long and never came off Destiny Island....and nevertheless it so nostalgic to me.

[@allthewayalive92]

+RetroRaver I feel that

[@unkostan]

The feels... The memories... Oh kingdom hearts how I miss you so. I am so grateful this was a part of my childhood

[@raistxxloalo9452]

Me too dude ;(

[@andyfranks8195]

Amen to that dude

[@zerozyra0]

hey it still is, Kingdom hearts 2.5 which contains KH2 final mix, birth by sleep and re:coded is coming out this year. and next year KH3 will come oh man, I just can't wait, this is the best game ever.

[@unkostan]

Darek Somers Yeah, I'm going to jump on that

[@mcnegro7]

Sephiroth...whyyyy, WHYYYYYYYYY is he so hard to kill on KH?

[@keetskeets4236]

My sister came to me because she didn't want to walk down the aisle to the traditional wedding march. I suggested this, and it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Thank you so much for providing this rendition to create such a beautiful memory for me.

[@Superintendent_ChaImers]

Damnit! Where did this mysterious bowl of onions come from!

[@Devilblazin]

+Nunya Bidness LMAO 😂

[@janmarcoperezbatres2203]

+Nunya Bidness damn little onion cutters ninjas!

[@Devilblazin]

Ahaha little onion cuttin ninjas LMAO xD !

[@kingv-raptor840]

+Nunya Bidness I got teary eyed to tried so hard to whole back the tears.

[@invictaa667]

i cant find them aaaaw :0

[@arzaki460]

Oh, man, this takes me back. This takes me back to the simple times. The times of playing video games all day and playing with Legos. The times when everything was nice and calm, when everything was serene. When I was just an innocent little kid, not the cynical teenager I am now. When nothing really mattered, it was just me and my games and toys. Oh, how I long for those days.

[@MrDrokstaaf]

same here dude. i miss the days where it was just me my ps2 my legos and my friends.... now its all work school and stress

[@auralyss]

You could even say that it brings you back to the days where you rushed to do everything you could in your last week of summer, racing against the clock to have fun. I tried.

[@mr.mister1045]

Wait till you get to your 30s kid. I used to do the same thing. Star Wars action figures legos and n64 and sega genesis. Oh boy

[@Chuck69Stuck]

"Thinking of you, wherever you are..."

[@a_fellow_playabr8435]

thank you, now I'm crying as a baby ╥﹏╥

[@roxas95605]

"we pray our sorrows to end..."

[@KO-md8jh]

+Raphael Begay "and hope that our hearts will blend..."

[@mcmarioss]

+OldFashionedKO Now I will step forward to realize this wish

[@kurokane6013]

+Mario Erenas And who knows? Starting a new journey may not be so hard

[@sorcha11234]

October 22, 2016.... That is the date that I will be walking down to this music to be joined in matrimony with my fiancé... I've listened to this everyday and I've never even been sick of it once. It just reminds me of the hardships that I've been through and how the imagination of this game got me through all the crap from living in the worst streets. And now this song will again be my guiding light to the beginning of my adventure with my bestfriend... I love you forever and always Mishka!

[@bloubear2557]

congratulations, but may I ask if she is Russian?

[@sorcha11234]

+Blou Bear if your are speaking about the name mishka, then you are right in believing that it is Russian. It is a very personal form of the name Misha or Michael. "Mishka" is a form used when speaking to a close loved one. My fiance received one of his degrees in russian and was called Misha in class and taught me about the name "Mishka" and he calls me Lyuba which is short for Lyubovka, I think I spelled that right lol, which is can be considered a name or just another way of saying "my love"

[@yoongoboongo231]

+Sorcha Falcon When it's October 22, I will say Congrats!

[@sorcha11234]

Aww thank you!!!!

[@Jack1994hoo]

+Sorcha Falcon Congratulations! :D Best of luck to you two, you will be very happy together.

[@fernpelt54]

I wonder how KH has managed to become so iconic for the nostalgia it now brings to its fans from way back when. The music obviously has always had a huge effect on us all--that's why we're on this video, right? All of a sudden, I just find myself crying because of how big of a background, fundamental part of my life this series of games has been. I hadn't loved a book as dearly, nor a movie as passionately, nor any other game with such a tender heart as I loved--and still love--Kingdom Hearts.

[@Ewarriorrr]

AGREED!

[@kishanmakati8560]

+Emma Kirkpatrick I love this game. As someone who wasn't even born when the first was released, this game is just perfect. The nostalgia factor, imo, is the distance between each game. Kingdom hearts 3 is yet to have a release date! Nostalgia is awesome with this game!

[@JoshIsGon]

Can totally agree on this!

[@riannawilbanks1573]

I honestly don't understand how such a simple game made everyone's heart melt.. anyone who played it just comes back to it and they're like oh my gosh this was amazing. I don't understand how this-- I have no words...

[@Eclipsed_Archon]

This song had a big role in the passion I felt and still feel towards Kingdom Hearts. The song itself has a mystic beauty that I have trouble describing. The best way I could put it would be like looking into your loved ones eyes, mesmerized like you could stay that way forever. The whole game gave new meaning to my life and opened my eyes to so many things. I know I sound like I'm exaggerating a little, but that was my real experience. I saw it in a store one day used, and I bought it on a whim. This song still strikes me in a way that not many things can, and this was a beautiful rendition of it on the graceful instrument that is the violin.

[@Devil00Dante]

same as me my friend

[@riannawilbanks1573]

I didn't even know what nostalgia felt like until I played this game. this brings back so many memories...

Everytime I hear this song I have tears in my eyes. It's so emotional. I think it's your best record ever, Taylor.

[@CerberusCorps7]

when the violin queued up, it sent shivers down my spine. your adaptation of this beautiful score is absolutely breathtaking.

[@jrortega1161]

I agree. I wanted to fall to my knees. She's so talented. Her cover made me feel so many emotions. Great job, Taylor!

[@will-kl4xo]

ShinRa im shaking.... i love these games So muchhh... they give me so much memories... im crying right now... in a good way and a sad way... see im not a 90s kid but i am a 00's kid... but when i got opened up to everything... it changed my life... my sisters and brothers are 80's+ kids and youtube made my life so very amazing...

[@zuerterex1247]

Ñ

[@cringecat4130]

You can tell she puts her emotion in that violin. . . This song is so amazing... I'm glad I got into Kingdom Hearts because it has such an emotional story behind it..

[@soonenough1984]

I'm walking down the aisle to this on Saturday!!

[@riannawilbanks1573]

I know im late, but congrates!

[@robbyjones9489]

Congrats again

[@mango9216]

congrats

[@jamiebarrientos9969]

Congrats even later

[@benchy06]

Congrats!

[@SimplyAnime101]

I love that small smile you have while playing. Like, you just love music and can't help but smile while making it. Truly awe inspiring.

[@nansealand6300]

Fell in love with this version years ago finally walked down the isle to it on our 10 year vow renewal! ❤

[@EyesOfDestiny]

It is a very rare thing for me, when a piece of music can bring me to tears. The first time I played kingdom hearts and heard this music it did that to me. Hearing your version of it did much of the same and then some. You, my dear, are a beautiful person and a beautiful artist of your craft and never let anyone or anything tell you different....Ever.

[@leetlc441]

Even Taylor looked close to crying while playing... Such a sad yet happy tune..

[@MegaMikig]

its happy because its coming back :)

[@nikitap6368]

I'm crying. And I have never playing Kingdom of Hearts before.

[@ashnecko]

Niki Padhye you should play it. It is an awesome game full of emotions

[@zerosub9450]

melted my heart. ...music makes you love life.

[@hollymatters]

How has this masterpiece only been in my recomended now

[@MastaGambit]

Yoko Shimomura would be proud if she saw this, Taylor. :)

[@Sephirathus]

Almost ten years now, since the first time i heard this masterpiece, and it still blows me away, so beautiful

[@izzyvigil5899]

Oh, the nostalgia 😭😭 Kingdom hearts was my childhood and listening to this beautiful music again brings back those wonderful memories. Thank you for playing this Taylor 💛

[@hikaru_nobuyuki7759]

Let our Hearts be our guiding KEY💗🗝️

[@aaronelkins12]

I can listen to this song all day, so beautiful. when I hear it, I can't help but think of my childhood, and realize how far I went in this life, now I'm a junior in college. This life caused a lot of pain and scares, but in the end it will be worth it.

[@sunshine-agalisgva]

I will play this at my wedding for my husband, it is so beautiful

[@lovermead]

Used to sit in my room and play this on my flute all the time. such a beautiful song, perfect to play especially when you feel a little mellow

[@daizua123]

This is so beautiful. I think I'm going to cry...

[@anzuayano6062]

This came Out of nowhere and Hit my Heart ❤

[@alpha_jasperflair1097]

The violin always makes me cry and gives me goosebumps

[@alxiong]

Every time I hit the beach, this song comes to mind....beautiful.

[@ragnarok6117]

I'm gonna see my soon to be bride walk down the isle for our wedding to this song. I'm gonna burst in tears. So much raw emotion bursting in harmony! It touches each nerve cell with euphoric energy that brings tears of joy. A bit of a bitter sweet song but so joyful at the same time! Thank you!

[@collettacocacola]

when you hit the big c when you started playing violin, your smile was mirrored onto all of us observing. that was absolutely gorgeous, just as you are. whilst listening, a big remembrance of the late nights and early mornings, walking down stairs with my blanket trailing behind me to play kingdom hearts. someone nearby is cutting onions.

[@user-kj8st9hn9r]

キングダムハーツ最高！!

[@claire4087]

hey , i'm sure this comment will be maybe lost but i don't care because i really want to tell you this: since my childhood ,i always dreamed of playing this piece :) and i finally did it! now i play it each time i'm feeling down. So thank you

[@LexxiEphemera]

I love how much emotion you show while playing. It truly shows your love of music.

[@magicalmuffinmonster]

Kingdom Hearts songs remind me so much of a heartbeat. They're very soothing.

[@campanco_]

Goosebumps... the whole way.

[@DistortedPhoto96]

this is fucking beautiful she is very talented. HOW DOES THIS HAVE DISLIKES

[@willstandup21]

the sound of the violin so beautiful. close your eyes and you can feel the song. amazing

[@disasterxbrewingx3]

I don't understand how someone could dislike this, you play the violin beautifully! You could lull me to sleep its so beautiful.

[@kaitlynncole4681]

I will be walking down the aisle to this song in October :)

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

You know when I first played this game, I was like 17. Is it still considered as part of my childhood? LOL I still love this game until today!

[@SakamaruNetoi]

Well, if you consider it to be, then why not? I would say 17, even up to your early 20's might be considered a part of your "childhood" since some people are still figuring out the responsibility of being adults. So I say if you want it to be, then of course.

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

Exactly.

[@willstandup21]

love the passion you can see she feels the whole song as she plays its real not just notes on a page

[@kalez238]

I have been on the brink of tears all night listening to your different tracks, and this one finally made me break. Many manly tears were shed this day. Thank you so much for the beautiful music.

[@JPMPranks]

This is so beautiful!!!!!

[@d0f211]

Oh Dios, que haces aquí :0 te gusta KH?

[@veronikafannon820]

I love your version so much, Taylor!!! You really play from the heart!!! 💞💞💞💞💞😍😍😍😍😍

[@TeamIcarus1]

Taylor Davis and Ama Lee for Kingdom Hearts 3 :>}

[@numb3r10brandstudio]

Yes! Amy Lee + Taylor Davis would be awesome

[@xerse29]

Pure childhood bliss. Just bliss.

[@Peachykeen267]

All the memories of that game series just flowed straight back. Especially those of 'Birth By Sleep" and "358/2 Days". Those two had the most heart wrenching stories (in my opinion).

[@ApolloX_Games]

When I was a boy I played the game every time I could, and each time I heard it puts me at ease, and it still does. I grew up with it, is one of my favorite.

[@hayimemaishtee]

Right in the feels, thanks for this

[@Trymie98]

Wow....That...was THE most peaceful and beautiful thing I've ever heard

[@SakuraAmy1293]

Ah the title screen music to one of my favorite game series.... the pain, the sadness, the anger, the hatred, and the overwhelming happiness and joy these games gave me was worth all the hours I put into these games. Thank you for this lovely trip down memory lane.

[@CrazyTurtle133]

HOW DID I NOT FIND THIS SOONER?!

[@jack50000d]

musica come questa ti fa capire di esser grato alla vita . . .

[@lordeiswolf5506]

This melodie bring me back in a time, who every was good in my life. No problems, no hate, no darkness. So BAEUTIFUL!!!! This melodie is for me very improtant and i thank you that you make it so great. Peace

[@jackkilgallen1618]

That was beautiful. I've heard that piece over a hundred times but honestly, that was divine.

[@icesoul17z]

I remember during nights i coudnt sleep I would always turn my ds on and listen to dearly beloved play till i fell asleep

[@feelfree2use]

big fan of kingdom hearts. this song somehow brings me back old memories. feels like a kid again. hahaha

[@drewboi8863]

When I seen you on the cruise it blew my mind , so many odd years ago. I knew who this is! I screamed and I came to you , I had the best time of my life on that cruise.! Thank you for your talent

[@corradogiovagnorio6674]

This song... makes me cry..

[@Carlos-pm7bb]

[@jahasoto]

Its strange because it perfectly captures the longing you feel for a loved one that's not there and at the same time the happiness that creeps in when you think about them.

[@RiceYigger]

Jahaziel Soto Wow...I am amazed that there are individual like yourself who feels the same way as I do ....every time I hear this song it gives me the feeling of deep sorrow for once i had true love and happiness in my life but it's gone now only fragments of it remains to haunt me in my dream now and then ;[ THANK YOU for you have made me feel like I'm not alone. GOD BLESS

[@maroddy48]

A face that you can't keep from falling love with. So beautiful. The music is to!

[@daszwielicht0397]

Absolute goosebumps....I could listen to this music for hours....and now I really want to play Kingdom Hearts from start to finish again.....THANK YOU :)

[@pieceofwood7064]

the nostalgia kicks in.......i remembered my great time with kingdom hearts

[@luckyinugirl1816]

Gintoki Sakata I still play the game :) though sometimes I get stuck lol! My sis and I used to talk and play it all the time and even though we still have it, we rarely play it because we're doing other things or playing KH2 or other KH games... KH1 is still the best no matter what!!!

[@EVILNAZER]

Gintoki Sakata for me one of the best game ever.

[@luckyinugirl1816]

+EVILNAZER agreed

[@huybugoy]

+Gintoki Sakata aww me too!! :'( I just wanna go back to the past!

[@Chabacca893]

Oh the memories of this game...I think I'm gonna go buy the 1.5 and 2.5 HD Remix.

[@nirvana680]

This song is out of this world.I can not explain how deep I feel it in my heart as if fireworks are blasting in my heart.I feel love,nature,passion,tender...I love you Taylor❤

[@Konpekikaminari]

I get the feeling I heard this in one of the games. seriously, the vibes from this cover are as authentic KH music as it can get

[@MasterReset7]

Bonito de mais, chorei aqui!!! - Very Beautiful, I cry here!!!

[@PedroHGoes-ix9oe]

N dá, a música é muito boa

[@chrnogirl]

I just wanted to post a quick shout out to you. I knew the second I heard dearly beloved in KH1 when it first came out I wanted use it for my wedding. I happened to run across your version on pandora and felt it was perfect ended used it for my wedding march last month. (I bought it off itunes so no worries) Your playing is absolutely gorgeous!

[@Po-yy9yu]

This would make a good contemporary song to dance to, with just the right choreography and passionate feel to it.

[@Vergil2708]

I can't believe that I'm actually crying while listening to this.. manly tears.. this is such a beauty, makes me miss my younger years :(

[@slossboss]

You have such a beautiful look on your face, you are completely at peace with your music and it is an absolute joy to listen to...

[@korima1]

I'll admit. I cried. This will play at my wedding. This will play at my funeral. The tenderness of this song is the definition of life.

[@xoxogossipgirlts]

I NEED to learn this on the piano.. then I can die happily

[@ThatWeirdDude40]

Taylor, how come you have a cover of almost all of my top 100 songs of all time? It's almost like you're covering everything I have in there. Can music taste really take such proportions in terms of comparation? I wish I'd have found your channel way earlier. You're a natural in terms of music. And by the music taste, I can pretty good see the character of a person...well at least that applies for my friends. You're still searching for it, eh? Or already found it? True love and true friendship. Hehe, hopeless romantic people aren't such a rare breed as I assumed. Thanks for that.

[@briennabiolsi]

She looks in love with the instruments, it's amazing the emotions some can feel when they're playing and how the audience can see it as well

[@AlcremieAlchemy]

Only the most beautiful sound in the world could come from such a delicate instrument, The Violin shows a lot of Feelings and poetry if you ask me. You played that so Beautifully that I cried. Kingdom Hearts is one of my Favorite Video Games and this is very unique.

[@osmeelohi1302]

Que linda!

[@jennyquintero9321]

es increíble como un instrumento puede trasmitir tantas emociones en una sola melodía wow esto es hermoso :3

[@jessehuddleston2409]

You played this by ear? Absolutely divine. I think I'll be singing your praises for quite a long time, keep putting them out for us, your truly an inspiration.

[@juanvolvoturbo]

The satisfaction in her face, wish I could enjoy playing the violin like this.

[@jessetoland]

I love to watch you perform it relaxes me, Your husband is such a lucky guy.

[@DollMill]

This is such a lovely cover of such a magnificent song! I was wondering if you would allow me to use it on one of my videos? I'm making a customized Sora doll and want to use the music from the game but of course it is copyrighted. Please let me know if could use yours, would be such an honor to play such a lovely tune :)

[@Leifon_Wulfein]

I cried... Taylor you play the piano just as beautifully as the violin. Treasure that forever no matter what anyone says.

[@monkeyboyTms]

please never stop performing dearly beloved its the most amazing thing ever

[@carliuFR]

[@atlasw.8579]

Really Good I just hate how it ends so abruptly at the end

[@loveless2ne1]

couldn't agree more

[@Jamplays592]

It feels like how beautiful life is, and how abruptly it ends

[@bigkhris]

All of your cover bring sad and great memories. Tears stream down my face. Bravo!!!!

[@horsetrainer14]

I don't know what it is about Kingdom Hearts' music but whenever I hear it I get teary eyed and an immense feeling of nostalgia fills my chest nothing else has ever come close to doing this to me, that's why I love Kingdom Hearts.

[@Robin-vh1zu]

Please stop playing with my feelings!! ; - ;

[@mathewgodfrey1517]

I've always wanted to learn how to play the violin.

[@joyhana3542]

same.

[@hayst4309]

+Mathew Godfrey I can play it... sometimes...when I dream......leave me alone#dreamdontcometrue

[@BubblesLoL]

+Mathew Godfrey Just start playing then? you can get a decent violin for 100$

[@BleachLover114]

this brings goosebumps to my skin, tears to my eyes, and warmth to my heart. you have touched me, friend.

[@goosefraba7510]

I never got much into kingdom hearts and not until recently final fantasy but the likes or their music has always captivated me. This chick does some really good covers too.
