Kingdom Hearts Piano Medley

[@SebastianWolff]

Who was watching this in 2006?

[@sakuraluvssasukexxx]

Me! I’m 28 now😢 brings good memories

[@alexanderengelhardt1751]

I did and still do. This is awesome.

[@Chapelle69]

I know I was! Great playing, thanks for uploading back then. a joy for all KH fans to listen to

[@darkstar5558]

Me! I don't know how many times I saw it. A true masterpiece. Many good memories of a great saga KH

[@MadeForD]

meee :) this was my childhood

[@raddad0]

I was 16 when I first saw this video. Now I'm 29. Still come back and listen every few months. Never gets old

[@SebastianWolff]

10 years ago, I uploaded a recording on KZbin; a medley of songs from Kingdom Hearts that I had recorded about a week earlier. I didn't think much of it then, other than giving tribute to my favorite game at the time. The video went viral on KZbin, long before "viral on KZbin" was a thing. It appeared in the Top 100 Music Videos on KZbin, for the ones who remember the nascence of the half-broken, constantly-buffering video sharing site. Feedback from the video inspired me to improve, upload and share more covers. I now find myself as a part of Materia Collective, a truly special community of video game music fans; creators, composers, artists, and other unique individuals who continue to inspire. Here's to another 10 years

[@maymay2151]

And here, I've been watching this video about 3 times every few months since I first watched/listened to it 9 years ago

[@paluding]

Wow. Just amazing. I wish you recorded this once again, with better quality and maybe adding a couple songs from the newer games. I know this is kind of a challenge, but hey, it's up to you to decide what to do. As I said, congrats. This is perfect! Incredible job 👌

[@Amershot]

Still awesome!

[@maxmarziano]

This performance is part of my adolescence. Thank you

[@josegalvezmateos8153]

Hello grat artist, I play the piano since 14 years ago and I love Kingdon Hearts SO MUCH. I write this comment for two reasons, first because I think this recopilation is awesome, and second because I want to know if you have any sheet or something, because I want to play the music of this video. Thanks so much, I'll wait you answer. ♡

[@SebastianWolff]

9 years. Wow.

[@ritaf.474]

hey you should do this medley again man :) with better sound now. it'd be amazing! I'd love to hear it clearer

[@iParadoxify]

+Sebastian Wolff And still such a well composed and played medley!

[@LuuXorD]

Damn this takes me back. I heard this back when I was still in middle school. Now I'm in college and its still good.

[@twomfan2]

I fell you! I listened to this for the first time in 4th grade and now I'm a sophomore in college... Time really flys...

[@Pardock97]

Ah... I remember when I was like 6 and I was afraid of Heartless, and I played in my aunt's house but only in Destiny Islands, but one day, I felt like that was the day, and I decided to give the step and talk to kairi to end the last day in Destiny Islands. Ah... that day changed my life, when I discovered the real game, this game made me feel to many things, to me is the best saga of videogames ever. This makes me feel so many weird things... I'm not the kind of person that usually cries, but if I were about to cry, these songs would be the ones to cry for. I have almost every song in the game like etched in my head. Now I'm replaying the saga, please squaresoft make KH III unforgettable, or it will be unforgivable. I'm trying to explain the best I can, I'm spanish.

[@destinyforslof9293]

love this music

[@andrewkreisher689]

exactly how i feel

[@jamessloan_tech]

I too was afraid of that first heartless section. But boy does it deliver. Hard to see this ever age poorly

[@mikeyeretzian9105]

i felt the same way like you when i was that age :P

[@96ace96]

;) So similiar to my own experience. They're not called Squaresoft anymore though, it's Square Enix.

[@sydpc]

I listened to this in middle school just in awe, and I am now 27 and I still think of it to this day.

[@TheSmallestCat]

I was 17 and now I'm 34 😊❤ I think of this medley very often too

[@DistantStarfall]

I literally just cried. All of these memories. When I beat one, when I beat number two, fighting the boss with Riku. This takes me back.

[@MecanicalEnd]

you should replay the game

[@xAwesomeGameplay]

Still like it?

[@AA-zt3bp]

This just came into my head out of nowhere after not listening to it for probably 12 years. I used to listen to it almost every night to sleep during high school. Still moved me today. 💜

[@Mellowjubies]

in the exact same boat today. cheers

[@zinja0830]

This video was uploaded just a month before I got my own KZbin account so I could 'favorite' music that I liked and rate things 5 stars. I was in high school at the time. Now here I am, a 31-year-old college professor procrastinating on work so I can write this comment and reminisce the time when I would play this in the student lounge of the college where I now teach.

[@xladymiladyx3123]

I still think about this piano medley in my daily life. Just came back to listen to it because I couldn't get it stuck out of my head the past few days. Thank you for making this beautiful piece of art!

[@Uberserkerman]

12 years man. I liked this half my life ago, one of my first KZbin videos. Thanks for the memories Mr. German seabass

[@LizaArmoniza]

I was 15 when I watch this video for the first time, learning piano. Now I am 30, and I am still encaptivated.Thank you for the inspiration.

[@michaelrotella2061]

This watched this video back when youtube was still in it's infancy. I remember the audio being out of sync with the video making it hard to appreciate the performance like it can be witnessed today. Nevertheless, the audio was so beautiful that it inspired me to start playing the piano. I'm 8 years in now, and it's been one of the best decisions of my life. Thank you Sebastian Wolff.

[@BAGOMS]

I have been a piano player since i was 5, mom was a piano player and teacher, I always loved playing piano, but nothing my mom would ever give me would make me want to play, i slacked off for a good while , playing every once in a while just when i felt like it, when i was about 14 i found this video and it showed me that i could find and play other things than plain piano music, since then i have learned about 40 different video game songs on piano and about 10 on ocarina, and i owe i all to Sebastian, thank you fellow piano brethren for showing me that piano is a wonderful instrument, but that im gifted and i shouldn't throw it away, keep doing what you do and keep trucking on, hope to see more videos from you!

[@gemni3260]

I was 13 when I first heard this. I'm almost 28 now and it's still hands down the best performance I've ever had the pleasure to listen to.

[@LeoMorikoTheKnight]

This series taught me the true power of one's heart, and the hearts of others. Where this world can bend you and break you, hearts will come together and protect you, heal you, and fight until all is well. So it is with love that I fight through the flames of hell, to protect those I care about, and to heal those who are falling apart. And one day the hearts of the world will be united. Kingdom Hearts.

[@WhiteDragonCM]

*Sigh* Kingdom Hearts... a combination of two of the best story writing organizations in the world... I feel all dreamy every time I think about it and hear this beautiful music. I remember the first time I ever cried over a fictional character death... it was Sora when he sacrificed himself... this game, it's story, and it's characters will always have a place in my heart, and at the risk of sounding cliche I think I'm a little stronger for it. A game that brings out so many emotions, is a rare and special thing. I hope the future sequels will live up to the first.

[@WhiteDragonCM]

oh, sorry, got a little lost in nostalgia, wonderful playing, beautifully done.

[@DominoPivot]

So many songs with a heavy or sad tone, KH's music always makes me wanna cry... I'm probably too nostalgic. That was a great performance and arrangement.

[@loviisakarhumaki9731]

14 years and still amazing. I just wanted to come here and tell you that this piece inspired me to start making my own arrangements. I was 12 years old back then and huge fan of game music. I started dreaming about becoming a professional musician and composing game music one day. Today i was talking about great arrangements with my friend and remembered this video. I cried so hard watching this and realizing that all of the things i dreamt about back then have become true. You were a part of it. Thank you.

So thank you for this beautiful masterpiece.

This is amazing.. For some reason, part 2 has been set to private which is sad since I enjoyed listening to it too, but listening to this nearly every day has made me want to buy a keyboard and start practicing again.

You wouldn't believe how many times I've listened to this medley of yours. The music of Kingdom Hearts is the work of pure genius.

[@nickjklol]

I have been watching this since this video was uploaded and its still more beautiful than ever. you play it so well it just takes me back to those moments where I was experiencing these games for the first time. I never realized how much of the atmosphere from these games was on reliant on just the right type of music. listening to this just gives me that one of a kind unique feeling that I can't really explain, but I felt it when I played these games and knew that feeling was special.

[@SirTelias]

I remember when I first heard this 11 years ago. This video started my desire to learn how to play video game music. Back then, I listened to your covers almost religiously. Then you had some tracks you composed yourself for a small indie game (which from what I can tell, those videos don't exist anymore), and that caused me to want to venture into the world of composition. I just want to say thank you for these videos and what they've meant to me. As I sit here awaiting the release of Project Destati: DARKNESS tonight, I couldn't help but think back to this video. Here's to many more years of awesomeness! (by the way, that painting in the reflection is still as creepy today as it was back then)

[@gleiraffe]

I am so glad this is still here even though a good friend of over 10 years I used to listen to this together with is not anymore. Hits different now but somehow still comforting, back then for our teenage angst now for my loss. Thank you so much for arranging, playing and keeping this up. I return often and I am so glad for this existing!

I had a dream of this rendition of this medley and I woke up with tears in my eyes. Thanks for an amazing medley.

[@erolwtf]

Those words just reflected what I felt while watching this video... This game is, by far, my favourite one, and an unfergetable one as well... This game meant so much to me. When I watch those commercials where they advert KH Birth by Sleep, or any of the newer ones, and I then realize that I don't have either PSP nor Nintendo 3DS, unexisting tears and pain start flowing, and it leaves me down for the rest of the day... I'm glad to hear that someone has similar feelings towards this game. Thx!
