Kingdom Hearts 2. The game that ruled my childhood. I get shivers all over when hearing this. My god this game was my life from preschool to 2nd grade. My gram ended up getting custody of me and it got lost in the move. I used to come home, sit down on my bed, and boot this game up. And I wouldn’t stop playing till my mom came in middle of the night telling me it’s time to go to sleep. I burned through 6 ps2 consoles bc of this game lmao. And I finally have it and a ps2 again. This cover makes me happier than you could possibly imagine. Thanks for uploading this and blessing the whole damn world dude.

[@Ryan-nw1xw]

Bro all the games are available on xbox and playstation now, you dont need the ps2

[@yridox8730]

Ryan Batchelor yeah I realized that the day after I got that ps2 was kinda pissed lmao

[@muhisxv]

Yup True

[@ΑΝΔΡΕΑΣΜΙΧΑΛΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ-η6υ]

Me too brother i loved that game in my childhood

[@DCF530_]

@@yridox8730 Why be pissed? Start buying PS2 games. I bought one in late 2018 and now have 133 PS2 games 😌

[@yridox8730]

Back again 2 years later, still gives me chills lol

[@ProjectDestati]

this is incredible! Great tone!

[@GarikWheeler]

Project Destati Thanks so much!

[@GarikWheeler]

Project Destati I'm very very excited for Darkness btw ;)

[@raxliche5664]

2:08 really like the prolonged version. Really raises the tension. Amazing

[@GarikWheeler]

Thanks! :D

[@skrimbusgrimbus4995]

The way its play gives me a musical stiffy

[@keisui_music]

2:08 best part , i love the way you did it so much

[@knodelexe]

0:38 that drop HOLY F*CK

[@SelimSalemCat]

I remember when i was 14-16 i lived right beside my school, and in big lunch break i went home and kh2 was in the post box. I started it just to watch the beginning trailer and cried because i was so fucking flashed by the trailer and music.

[@CryoAutismXIII]

2:08 has always been my favorite part of sanctuary and you killed it man

[@SociaCin]

I've always preferred Sanctuary to Simple and Clean. This is awesome.

[@GarikWheeler]

I love them both so much, but I think I like Simple & Clean just a tad more. Specifically Hikari though, not S&C. I prefer the melody of Hikari's chorus over how it sounds in S&C.

[@rustym.shackelford5546]

@@GarikWheeler With you there. Also - keep doing your awesome Metal Covers.

[@Arcania9516]

Me too,the lyrics of Simple and Clean is weird.

[@logie9672]

Same, kh2 soundtrack was goated

[@DreamerFromTheDepths]

Your metal covers are generally my favourite because there's no vocals, and it's just the music, lets me take everything in.

[@CoreyMcD]

Perfect timing! A new Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer just came out today too!

[@pedrocoelho7429]

That is the ultimate Sanctuary Guitar Cover man. I've been looking for a long time to find a cover that has the "epicness" of the original song, AND YOU NAILED IT!

[@nathanielkendrick911]

This is the best metal cover I've ever heard 😍😍

[@GarikWheeler]

You flatter me sir

[@educamuriN7]

Hell yeah as a huge metal and Rpg lover especially final fantasy and KH i truly appreciate this

[@bowieharlow6533]

This is amazing how did I only find this now

[@Lucario_Nii_San]

When the metal part starts up when chain of memories scene shows up is pure eargasm to me

[@SourceCZ]

the whole video I was waiting for the part at 2:08 and I was definitely not dissapointed lmao awesome work dude this was amazing!

[@will_ofFye]

This is so fucking sick 😤😤🔥

[@vasttrance877]

Wow. I’m honestly speechless this is probably the greatest version of this song I’ve heard. Literally knocks me back into the early 2000’s playing this on my kingdom hearts on my ps2. This is what I imaged the music sounding like when playing it. Thank you for taking your time to do this

[@jmcitylovee]

This is insane 😍 instant chills! Kingdom Hearts 2 is one of my all time favorites!

[@YuudaiGH]

Is it sad this song makes me want to cry happy tears?

[@Astrobuns]

That solo is so sick!

[@bumblebee978]

2:08 I LOVE YOU.

[@levilueth7778]

I probably come back to listen to this every six months or so. This is amazing!

[@levilueth7778]

Bruh, it's been a minute

[@bradsly3386]

No download links at the moment, since I plan to compile all my covers into an album once I've finished them all. In the mean time, just do a youtube to mp3 converter! Super easy to do :)
