Contact: [e-mail]
This project was a commission created for FirePhoenixKing. Check out his channel!
/ @firephoenixking
This is an orchestral medley that mainly uses "Simple and Clean", "Sanctuary" and "Face My Fears". I also began with a "Dearly Beloved reference (of course) and even snuck in Roxas's theme so keep an ear out for that ;)

[@ThomasDiognardi]

Thank you for all the love on this arrangement! I just uploaded a Piano/Orchestral version of "Don't Think Twice" with vocals! really stoked on this and would love to hear everyones feedback

[@ASAPSauce]

Are you going the re-upload face my fears orchestral to a different platform? Because youtube removed it sadly :(

[@ThomasDiognardi]

@@ASAPSauce it will be up on Spotify/Apple Music/iTunes and more next Friday! :)

[@matthieu9462]

I never give a single comment on KZbin. Dude, you are amazing! Love your arrangement, reminds Destati. This is a very compliment

[@axinhedgelion8417]

Who thinks this song would do well in a fighting game along with Sora?

[@Sacred_Sky_Heart]

If I may, could I do a slight storm remix of this? While it would be my first attempt, I would love to try with this orchestra mix you did.

[@ProjectDestati]

That was such a good idea at 4:06 to add those Hikari and Passion quotes in the Face My Fears gaps Also absolutely LOVED those final chords

[@ThomasDiognardi]

thank you! Means a lot from you :)

[@XarctheLegend]

Project Destati I listened to this and immediately was like I need to hear Project Destati's medley rendition of all 4 themes! Having 2 piano duets to inaugurate "Dawn" and a variation of this to culminate it would be beyond phenomenal!!! Your next album is my most anticipated one on my radar, period! I vastly appreciate the effort you guys have and are continuing to do!

[@fcojavier59]

[@Hanswer122]

[@edgartrujillo5030]

As epic as that would be, this composition wasn't made to be looped like boss tracks are meant to be. This composition has a clear beginning middle and end. It's a journey in it of itself. Though maybe with some modifications, it could've made a great boss fight track

[@karinderyeah]

3:41 definitely gives me the chills......

[@Evnyofdeath]

To this day hearing the opening cords of Dearly Beloved always gives me a surge of nostaliga. No matter what becomes of the KH series in the future, the memories of getting way to invested in the story and trying to figure out Nomura's fever dream will never fade

[@KEEYBLADE]

4:26 love that part... no matter what remix or cover

[@BrianBloop]

Saaaaaaaaaaame

[@148840Texas]

I found this song about a month ago, and no matter how many other KH orchestral tracks I hear, i always come back to this one. It truly just captivates the feeling of what KH3 means as a game to the series and your rendition of all the main themes just blends so well together. Thank you so much for this.

[@ThomasDiognardi]

thats so cool! I myself am such a long time fan of the series, so i always try to approach these arrangements from that perspective!

[@savagesaint2012]

You absolutely KILLED this project and I mean that in a good way. Honestly, this is a blessing that runs through my ears and goes straight to the heart and soul!

[@BigBoss-mg4dd]

Just imagine if kingdom hearts had their final battle the same way avengers endgame did theirs. I’m talking about Sora’s Army vs the Master of Masters Army with this soundtrack playing in the background. That will be Game Of The Century

[@HecyWecy]

Sora standing alone facing down the master of masters and his army. Sora says theres to many of them. Mickey says but theres more if us. Behind sora a bunch of key holes open to worlds and you see all o f the friends sora has made during the series all ending in a final showdown that makes the kh game that blows kh2 out of the water. This wont end with a sacrifice but with everyone surving. Except the master of masters and his army whom you fight in an epic boss battle. The game ends at sora and kairis wedding.

[@BigBoss-mg4dd]

Hector III Alvarez GENIUS, I LOVE IT

[@jabiechan1633]

If this doesn't make you feel something, I find that truly heart breaking. Even if you have no knowledge of this franchise or the meanings behind these songs, you still have perfectly captured the feeling of wonder and nostalgia. Fantastic work!

[@TheSnowconeMachine]

This gave me chills! I've been having a horrible time, and a friend showed this to me, and I haven't been this happy in a long while.

[@ThomasDiognardi]

that means so much, glad its helping you!

[@Taya27]

I am in love with this medley. To combine this excellent soundtrack into sth so magical is genious. I think the part I like most is when Face my Fears leads over to Simple and Clean. Your interpretation of Face My Fears was already a real gut punch (in a positive way), but having this bleed into the first iconic Kingdom Hearts theme has me cry. Thank you!

[@Barret892]

What was your interpretation?

[@Taya27]

@@Barret892 Hey, sorry, I don't really understand the question. What I was referring to interpretation wise is Thomas Diognardi's orchestral version of Face My Fears. (which is addictive btw)

[@ThomasDiognardi]

Thanks! cool to hear you caught that :)

[@raulzazueta2475]

after giving some time to marinate, dont think twice and face my fears are great additions to the kh franchise. I hear them and I cant help but to think KH immediately. Gives me KH vibes

[@ThomasDiognardi]

i agree 100%. Particularly with "Face My Fears" i feel the fanbase was largely critical of the sound and production. But in my opinion critics fail to realize that KH has always been inclusive of current pop music. It's just that because of the wild progression of technology and culture in recent decades, pop music in 2019 is wildly different than in 2002 and 2006 when "Simple and Clean" and "Sanctuary" were released. tldr; yes

[@endercraftnerd5240]

​@@ThomasDiognardi If I have to think, I believe that the Spiderman video with face my fears helped a lot, her editing and timing are perfect with the rhythm of the song

Mission name: Dawn In The Sky Venue: Destiny Islands Dialogue: Riku: "Sora.. Let's settle the score once and for all. What do you say?" Sora: *clenches his fist and nods* "I don't mind kicking your ass again, Riku!" *summons Kingdom Key* Riku: *chuckles* "We'll see about that." *Summons Car Key* Kairi: *sighs* "These two again.. " *puts her hands behind her hip as she gives out a gentle laughter* "Oh well.. Hey! Go one up each other you two! " Sora and Riku: *gets into battle stance* Battle commences! Information: Defeat Riku! Venue's surrounding displays flashback of important moments revolving the trio's adventures as the player fights Riku.

I know I already wrote a comment on this video like 3 weeks ago, but I honestly just have to say again that this is an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE! The night that I stumbled upon this, I was just looking up some KH3 songs while editing a video and when I heard this, I literally stopped what I was doing completely because of how much hype it was giving me as I was listening to it. Here I am, listening to it again (mainly cause I keep getting notifications of people liking my comment, so it's officially the most liked thing I have on YT😂😂😂) and It honestly this is one of, if not, the best orchestral medleys that I have heard in my entire life. Once again, AWESOME JOB! 👍👍👍👍👍 (By the way, thanks for highlighting my comment. I honestly was only speaking about strongly I felt about it.)

[@totableweeb4646]

I only got into Kingdom Hearts a couple years ago Cos I heard from a friend it was amazing and that 3 was supposedly going to put a 17 year story to rest. I decided to join the ride. And I’d just like to say that it’s one of the best rides I’ve been on. Never has a game made me cry and laugh so hard at the same time. And honestly I can’t find any other piece of music that represents my love for this series as much as this one. For some reason all I can see is three versions of Sora, each from one of the main three games, coming together to form their own ultimate keyblade, and creating the perfect light. To finish Master Xehanort off for good. Absolutely beautiful. Amazing work.
