Dearly Beloved 2014 - And a Happy New Year!

[@kylelandry]

Thank you all for the wonderful comments on this video. I appreciate to hear about the positive things my music brings to everyone, and I love the sincerity I'm reading in these comments. Very thoughtful. Best fans ever. :')

[@kaihiwatari6031]

Kyle Landry, your music brings such great happiness! My spirit is always lifted listening to your piano covers and listening to your rendition of Dearly Beloved caused an influx of emotion to unravel inside me! A truly beautiful job you have done here! I love this piece even more thanks to you! Have a Happy New Year, and never stop playing the piano!!

[@EquesX]

Thanks for posting. I was wondering if you'd do a 2014 Dearly Beloved. xD But you got me good because I wasn't expecting one. :D Happy New Year, and I look forward to your future compositions/covers/etc.

[@Yurisama1991]

Hello :~) I just wanted to say Thank You. It isn't often I find someone who's music is simply amazing video after video. I can't even say I have a favorite. I love them all. Happy New Years to you and Happy New Years to everyone xoxo (>^_^)>

[@whydontiknowthat]

I personally have a favorite, but I do like the majority of his pieces. My favorite is definitely Feelings of Childhood, which was posted about about 6 years ago, and it has so much emotion. Second favorite is Storytale Soundscapes Movement 2, due to its sheer epicness. Not sure if this would be my third favorite, but I love when he plays on his old piano, when he performed the Mario, Kingdom Hearts, and Pokemon medley. Others that I can think of are This Land with Josh Chiu, Passion (of course), 600 AD was awesome, To Zanarkand, and there are too many others to name. Also, Kyle, if you see this comment, can you do a cover of Shanghai Dreams by Tian Jiang?

[@whydontiknowthat]

whydontiknowthat Of course, how could I forget Bacon Man!

[@vegetto101]

Disney and SE really should have you compose the title screen music for KH3

[@simj202]

Then the first 15 minutes of gameplay will just be of the player sitting in the main menu screen.

[@Nesdude42]

XnagarekidaX Yea I can see that being a major problem. "Square Enix reports a very low number of people are actually finishing the game, saying that most players just stop and listen to the background music for hours."

[@JLsnipe311]

Art forLife Can I favorite these 3 comments and keep them forever?

[@nyororin]

I am in complete agreement with the statements above.

[@MrCrasherdog]

Halo 3 in a nutshell

[@Pocketcott]

Every year it becomes longer and every year it gets so much better

[@KrayonGames]

....that's what she said ;-D Sorry, couldn't resist.

[@Pocketcott]

XD Why would you do this

[@KrayonGames]

It's what I do. :P

[@ASTRO_LOFI]

O__O wait what??

[@sargasgreen4271]

D: It is still difficult to choose my favorite year!

[@Divionist]

***** You should do a Draw my Life with some of your music incorporated into it. I'm ready for the feels.

[@BlindRoxas13]

"Well, I kinda just grew up. My family was pretty normal, they got me into the piano as a kid. I started playing it, yaknow. And then, uh, school was okay I guess, didn't like the homework. And then I just kinda kept playing piano. And here I am now." Set to Kyle Landry music, I would definitely shed a tear listening to kyle narrating that.

[@Divionist]

EricWalks His childhood was really sad (no offense kyle) but it's also pretty inspirational.

[@MusixPro4u]

Cloud Chan What happened?

[@P4SMOI]

John Ny Abandoned as a pup, he was found by Muriel...

[@Divionist]

John Ny I'll let Kyle tell you :)

[@MikeBit21]

I listened to this twice in a row. That is 30 minutes of my life drifting off into the depths of my heart, where the land of fantasy engulfed me and embraced me for who I am, accepts me and all my insecurities and imperfections, and it is in that land that I meet the side of me that gives me the courage to follow my dreams and heart to no boundaries. I meet the person I wish to become, and as I fade back to reality I can't help but have a smirk on my face. Keep playing, Kyle. You speak to my soul through your piano, and I'm positive I'm not the only one. And to all out there, happy new year and please be safe, let's take it upon ourselves to kick some major tail in 2015 - GO GET IT DONE!

[@kylelandry]

Thank you so much. Your comment is heart warming. Best of luck to your 2015

[@MusixPro4u]

You worded so eloquently, what I often feel too, brother. Cheers to you.

This poetry speaks the truth!

[@promoxie6942]

That was beautiful :')

[@MikeBit21]

Cheers to all 4 of you. Wish we could get together around a bonfire or something, I'm positive we'd have an epic blast. Thanks guys.

[@onobonono]

My favorite tradition :) Dearly Beloved is how I found you in the first place, many many years ago.

[@Silphi]

kyle i want to thank your for EVERYTHING u gave me without your music i would be a piece of shit in real life listening to your music and trying to learn it helped me through a hard time following your since 5 years thanks mate and happy new year

[@kylelandry]

Thank you for being you!

[@Silphi]

***** holy shit u mate this is the best sign for me that 2015 will be my year

[@ainoku_yt]

Oh, sehr cool dich hier zu treffen. Du warst mir ja schon immer sehr sympathisch und warst schon immer der einzige Mensch, von dem ich mir gerne Videos zu League of Legends angesehen habe, aber unsere Interessen überschneiden sich echt sehr oft. Du bist mindestens genauso toll wie Kyle :P

[@Glover1007]

Aygun Mammadova That moment when somebody was thanking Kyle for his music, and a christian thinks he needs to spread his relgious crap for no apparent reason at all lol

[@rescuecpr571]

I'm going to treat this video like the last piece of chocolate in a chocolate box, savoring it until the very last minute, namely the last minute of the new year. Once every year, I look forward to these improvisations. I love them so much, and I hope to live through many more to come. Thank you, Kyle. I will not listen to this until tonight, for I want my new year to be as lovely as this song is to be. May our new year be bright, and again, thank you, kyle. May God bless you with many gifts in the future, as he has blessed you with this talent.

[@rescuecpr571]

It was a good decision to play it before the new year. Put up a fireworks show in MC while listening to this. Such a good idea.

[@BassBwoy3]

Amen! T_T

[@TommyPlesky]

+Rescue CPR You couldn't had said it better.

[@jazzfestyz9734]

I think I need My permission slip signed Cuz you just took me on a feels trip....

[@Anbusakashi]

haha nice!

[@michelebiason6246]

Already passed 9 years. I know in a life circle isn’t even that much, but from 24 to 33 a lots of things happens. I’m still here searching for this song. I also got married last week. 9 years ago I was at my saddest bottom. I remember everything. It’s strange to think of this all now, that is a June’s Thursday.

[@xiongrey19]

2014 was a year that saw continued growth and learning. 2014 was the year that saw a new found passion in the job world. 2014 was the year that I found what I like to do and was the year that people trusted me to carry that out.

[@MegastarXIV]

To get anyone and I repeat anyone to love Kingdom Hearts... Just show them this... This really brings out the light within everyone's heart and can cause and overflow of nostalgia if you love the series as much as I do. Nomura created this game series and Yoko Shimoura created these amazing songs... Look how far the series has come now. It's grown a huge fanbase all across the world and anyone who's played all and beaten all the games knows how much this song impacts them straight to the core of their heart. It's amazing how much a video game can have on your life. I've conquered depression, anxiety, anger, just because of Kingdom Hearts. If you love this cover of Dearly Beloved and haven't played the games, I highly suggest you play the games themselves to fully understand the meaning of this song and how much it can impact your heart. "Dearly Beloved friends is all I have, my life may not be Simple and Clean but at every turn, my friends save me from the dark. Together, we share a Passion that no one can understand." Thanks Kyle for this amazing cover and I can't wait for the 2015 version

[@korinakorinakorina]

This amazing fan base and beautiful people like you are why I have so much faith in the world. Some people may look at it and see nothing more than a cheesy Disney game, but we know better. I wish everyone could experience the raw emotions that a beautiful story can instill in someone.

[@TheExciteProductions]

Another year has passed and this piece of magic always knows how to sum it up. The joys, the heartbreaks, everything. Thank you Kyle! You made a confused teen shed tears of happiness and I know you will do that next year again!

[@kylelandry]

I'm glad ^.^

[@cwopre]

Still the most melancholic of the Yearly Beloved series. Tragic but beautiful.

[@metalcoreblastr2010]

am I the only one who can "feel" his year through the music? Its as if every note, every fluid movement is a depiction of time that reigns prominently or weighs down his mind , and this beauty through pain is his expression of experience. Beautifully crafted, wonderfully performed, sincerely felt. I look forward to more of your creations!

[@corvin_nl3455]

This version saved my life when it came out. Thank you. I lost a friend but her memory still thrums in my heart.

[@ianlochead3880]

Every year he makes a different version and each year it gets better and better. I thought maybe he couldn't perfect it better. But nope at the last second he pulls threw and makes us happy.

[@eugenechoi6966]

All the Dearly Beloved performances are so amazing!

[@rallyman619]

I still cry when ever I hear this theme. it's like a friend that has always been waiting for you to visit her again and when you do she couldn't be happier to see you tell you about her life. I love every minute of it and it really does warm my heart to know that some is playing this so beautifully.

[@DrizzyDrayg]

This piece never gets old

[@CommuneofBees]

Absolutely beautiful. I'm in a long distance relationship and one of the few weeks me and my gf spent together in 2014 we played kingdom hearts. This song means a lot to me and to hear it played so beautifully makes me incredibly happy. I'm a huge fan of yours, I hope you continue to make fantastic music for us all throughout this new year as well, and maybe another dearly beloved for 2015. Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful year

[@MagnusBaumgartl]

With every new DB video I think that there can't be even more variations, but you always seem to find more lol! The point is that you never make me feel sick of listening to much DB, in fact I enjoy it more and more with every new video! I usually can't hear a piece anymore if I listen to it to much but I think I could listen to your DB improvisations for years, as well as to every other performance by you. This time you really focused on atmosphere. You kept that smooth relaxing DB feeling over the whole video while building up atmosphere and variating between different styles. This is why I think that DB 2014 is your best DB video. In every other DB video you put in a very fast and loud part which didn't really fit in Dearly Beloveds main intention. Not that it's bad, in fact such a variation style is really good, but DB wants to be relaxing and smooth, not hectic and to loud. And you managed to play it in such an atmospheric style the whole time AND to variate it as well without making the listener feel bored. You built in some loud but not to loud parts and you played around with the chords. It never made me feel that I wasn't listening to a DB video even though you didn't always play the melody, really awesome!! Well, this may not really fit to this video but I noticed within your last videos how well your new keyboard fits to such relaxing and atmospheric harmonics!! I've been really sceptical about it when you posted that pic on facebook but I'm surprised how well it works for your playing style! Well, this has been a long comment indeed, but I just wanted to tell you what I was feeling while listening. So yeah, stay awesome in 2015 and keep playing forever! Happy new year!!

[@kylelandry]

Thank you so much!

[@Potatoslice]

I can't wait to hear 2015. as of right now your 2013 of dearly beloved has my heart.

[@AvenRox]

I could think of no better way to send off 2014. So emotional, so dear. Perfect.

[@rickeyharris178]

I will never ever get tired of hearing you play this song. It is almost like God made the song for you to play it.

[@MegaBassThumper]

Seeing you play such beautiful music while sitting in an office chair is the best thing ever.

[@liefek]

The original 2008 dearly beloved is still my favorite, but I like that you keep revisiting it every year! Time sure flies...

[@TubeBazzDaBazz]

Happy new years overseas friends, may we all share this masterpiece in glory together

[@DuskPiano]

A month ago I was very ill, that ill and weakened that I wasn't able to play piano which saddened me very much. So I listened to your Dearly Beloved series all the time and it was as if your music speeded up my recovery. Thank you for your great videos and let your Dearly Beloved series never end! :'D

[@4473021]

Kyle starting up the KHIII hype train inside me all over again..... The thing I love about this rendition of Kyle's Dearly Beloved along with many other songs of the KH franchise is that you can find bits and pieces of other songs scattered about in a seemingly stand alone piece. Even when the story seemed confusing, the music alone was able to tell you when something was important because of all the characters' themes and major event pieces incorporated within..... Whether or not Kyle did so intentionally is beyond me, for all I know my brain is probably trolling me, telling me things that don't exist are right in front of me -but one thing is for sure: The feels are real with this one.

[@kylelandry]

It was intentional. My arrangements are generally pretty deliberate in their execution, or at least I try to make them that way :)

[@KareemaTeam]

I have always dreamed of having you play at my wedding since like 2007 or something. You are truly a blessing to music and one of the most talented pianists of our generation. -- Ash Andretti.

[@chanachris]

Every year, I look forward to this. :')

[@IPriinzPiiI]

Last tune 2014. First tune 2015. Best way to start the year! Kyle i wish you a great year! Keep it on!

[@suavegunman3325]

I'll never get tired of dearly beloved and all it's variations

[@apersonina]

I'm still here because of music like this, living and moving on from many things, thank you so much.

[@federicoreal6944]

I want you to know something.... You are not just a piano player for me.. You're special man... I love the way you touch my heart with every single song you play... Respect and love from Argentina. Don't ever stop playing that thing and uploading videos. Thx

[@tomilang]

I keep coming back to this specific arrangement because this is one of the most beautiful music pieces I've heard in my entire life. Also came back here to say that KH3 is officialy confirmed.

[@ashleydowning3837]

On many many nights when my anxiety was so bad that I couldn't sleep, this video is the only thing that helped me. Thank you...

[@tyler0262]

This just makes me wanna go back to whenever I first unwrapped kingdom hearts 2.. I remember not knowing anything about this game and I didn't want it at first but after I put it in I just never stopped playing it.. It's so attached to me and square.. They really affected a generation and to those who missed out on this playstation 2 game this might sound like another song but to us who have enjoyed the experience we all tear up just a little bit because it reminds you of a time where you didn't worry about girls or money or bills all you had were your best friends and this disc that made us grow up fast and I am such a better person because of this crazy game it's amazing

[@animegirl6997]

I LOVE YOUR VERSIONS OF DEARLY BELOVED ALWAYS. Urg right when I saw this I flipped out and dropped everything I was doing to listen to it. It's so beyond beautiful! Didn't expect anything less from the best pianist ever.

[@carrotman778]

for you fellow pianists out there i hope you can relate, when im playing and not just dinking around (like putting my true emotion into the keys) i feel as if someone who walks by is taping into my heart and i almost feel like they completely understand my mood and my attitude. Thats the beauty of piano, i think at least.

[@yuhaozhang5575]

Feel ya!

[@cerberus112261]

Every year, for three years now, I wait excitedly for this video to appear on my KZbin's homepage. It's become much more meaningful because this song has become my little cat's personal song. She passed away two years ago, but it's so heartbreaking and beautifully heartwarming (ironic, isn't it?) listening to this. Thank you, Kyle. Thank you for bringing Selene back for 14:18 minutes.

[@Starter61]

It is us (your listeners and fans) who should thank you for being awesome, dear Kyle ! May you have a happy and creative 2015, with many piano videos !

[@chocoy7]

ugh the yearly dearly beloved renditions just kill me, so beautiful. definitely worth the year long wait !

[@spunkyspunky666]

KYLE! you got me there for a second thinking there would be no Dearly Beloved installment this year. from someone you don't know but to whom you've brought a lot of happiness: thank you.

[@CielBennn]

You made me cry like a little girl. Thank you, sir.

[@kilamity24]

My favorite thing about the end of every year

[@justinpoland4710]

Truly every Kingdom Hearts fan can not call themselves a fan if they have no true appreciation for this very piece right here and I do. This was the track that truly started our journey. Though it was Simple and Clean that called us all to this game in the beginning via all those mind-blowing commercials we kept waiting to see time and again on tv, it is this track that truly announced the beginning of our KH journeys and demanded that what we were about to experience would be taken dearly to our hearts. Thank you friend for making such a beautiful and heart enriching rendition of Dearly Beloved. It is full of the beauty you have seen and felt through this game along with very moment that was dearest to your heart as you played it.

[@baconalex3118]

This song honestly made me cry and made me go through the pain of a lost member in my family! I will always support you in anyway. Keep it up man.

[@susanbalding655]

That dual silence (or not quite silence; I'm sure there's a musical term) at 11:38 stops my heart every time. Thank you for composing such a beautiful music! It has kept these games alive for me for the last 16 years.

[@jtxp]

ive mention this in the previous "dearly Beloved" covers, but i cant stress enough on how wonderful it is to see another version.

[@jairojurado295]

I've listened to all your renditions of Dearly Beloved so many times throughout the years. This is by far my favorite one. It's just truly beautiful and it brings me total peace and tranquility. Thank you so much for doing what you do Kyle. You have no idea how much your music can get me through the tough times in life.

[@jderkowski4]

Same, I come back to this song whenever I'm stressed and want a moment of peace. My fav too =)

[@peculiarproductivity7311]

I haven't cried since watching the 2012 version for the first time. Well done!!

[@deyawillo7864]

When I first started listening to Kyle Landry, this was the first song I listened to- his first version on this song when I was about 12. I'm now 18 listening to a 2014 version and its amazing how much I can relate to the new variation. How I have grown up and changed into the person I am. Just listening to his music has HONESTLY got me through some tough times. THANKYOU Landry :') P.S please play at wedding in a few years

[@PhoenixNoire]

You know, I played these game in 2003 in fell in love with it and so I played it a few times more. Even today and many, many good games later, Kingdom Hearts is definitly one of my favourite. Over 10 years are gone, but your versions of Dearly Beloved let me feel the same greatful feelings I had in the moments with this game. Thanks Dude, for the yearly rearrangement of my remembrance :)

[@Bloogly89]

Thank you Kyle (: I adore this song, and this year you really nailed the original atmosphere of Dearly Beloved, while adding many new, interesting variations. I also appreciated the Simple and Clean tease haha. We don't get tired of this song so please please please keep this tradition going! Thanks again!

[@josephkepper7794]

Up until now, the 2008 version was my favorite. The 2012 came close, but this is absolutely amazing and beautiful. New favorite right here. Helping me set some goals for my piano skills.

[@aliciajane5673]

To be honest, I've had a pretty poopy day, but receiving an email from KZbin notifying me Kyle Landry posted a new video made my day, then to see it was dearly beloved 2014...it literally brought tears to my eyes and then again as I was listing to it. Kyle, thank you for everything you do with music, it's amazing, you're amazing, and the inspiration and motivation you give to others is amazing, so really thank you.

[@Gi0kay]

Kyle, if you read this, please please please bring your forums back. They were the most reliable place to find sheets for your amazing arrangements and there wouldn't be anything more fulfilling then having someone transcribe this. Please bring them back. Happy new year!

[@crazyhawaiian5266]

Yeah man, I was 14 maybe 15 when this came out and then it left me in awe. I'm glad I found you again

[@mcmarioss]

Thank you. 4 years ago I finished KH1 and KH2 and now I decided to play them again, just listening to your covers. Really a master piece, game and music.

[@GhostlyPiano44]

Piano is about the only thing I have in my life that's worth anything, and for that I have to thank you. Your Dearly Beloved videos and improvisations alike have kept music alive and warm in my heart. Thank you for that solace Kyle. Keep inspiring.

[@michaelbrucato7180]

I'm listening to this & all I can think of is this being played at a Wedding. I'm considering doing it myself so much I'm willing to learn how to play the piano just to do it.

[@katherinemackie1580]

This made me cry so much. It was a wonderful video and a beautiful song. I love Kingdom Hearts so much and I love the soundtrack, it makes me cry.

[@miragex5980]

It has been many many many years ago since I started listening to your works. Been through an account deletion and all of that shennanigans.. and yet here you are today still fulfilling tradition. Bravo! I can't wait to hear the 2015 version. It just gets better and better each year!

[@Trixster009]

I can listen to this and sleep peacefully.

[@TheAsylumGaming]

I was just reading the comments while music played in the background then 1:50 rolled around and my heart stopped to get feels, man, this video brings me back, I never could beat it (as a child I went back and beat it MANY times)

[@katanikoneko9036]

I always look forward to a new rendition every year. Brings back all the good memories from the years previous and what I was doing while listening to it.

[@DreamieLuna]

That was beautiful. I cried... this is my favorite song on piano. I love Kingdom Hearts.

[@tiaraguy7705]

I liked this one, but I personally loved the intensity of 2012 dearly beloved better than more relaxed and casual feeling of this one.

[@xXJDC31Xx]

First time I've cried at a song. As I said last year, 2012 version was perfect in my eyes yet you improved it for 2013... and this one blows both of them out of the water! Amazing job Kyle, happy new year to you! And everyone reading this comment. Stay beloved!!

[@jordanstephens95]

What a great way to end the year, here's to a great 2015!

[@BassBwoy3]

I loved KH 1 and 2 when I was in my teens. This song will always have a special place with me. Who know, maybe even have it played at my wedding. Thanks for these renditions, Kyle. I can tell you put a lot into them.

[@razsahk3952]

Will never get tired of this.

[@Cenius0]

Happy New Year!

[@TheGamersJoint]

Dear Kyle Please do us a huge favor and get a Job working in the music section of Square Enix. Yours Kindly, Cynical.

[@hendrex8285]

P.S.S MW/A also agrees

[@alexg8936]

Marky Touralack He is a composer. He has quite a bit of original music even on his channel as well as multiple albums released.

[@dwong98]

If you are into gaming, you would know that he is composing the music of a game in development called "bacon man". It has a kickstarter.

[@dekuMusic]

TheGamersJoint maybe he agree if you ask him via private message in his page :3

[@BurgerKingFootLettuce69]

Marky Touralack this very piece is technically his composition, because Yoko Shimomura never made a piece like this, just the generic tune. Kyle changed it (every year) into something not only beautiful, but something he could call his.

[@MrRAWNAIL]

Literally waited all year for this.. Happy New Years everyone!

[@lintha1352]

There are so many things as I would like to tell you... As long as my English would not know how to retranscribe what my heart feels by listening to you. Then I would content myself with a sober: thank you. Thank you for everything. I would like so much that more people can be touched by what you are doing for us. All the good which you could make for the world... But we are and there we will remain so. All together, as a big family.

[@Jamtartz]

Sooo gonna download this and walk to school with it playing, first piece of piano music that has made me cry, brings back so many memories

[@tomygun196]

listening to this while studying for a calculus exam sure does helps! :)

[@69Serenity96]

This is a great way to end 2014 and start 2015. I cried a little from all the feelings this video brought me. Videos like this makes the memory of Kingdom Hearts better in my opinion. Awesome job!

[@filthyyasuomain2147]

I can just plug in my earphones, click play, sit back and forget everything except for the wonderful music in my ears. Love all your music Kyle, but these ones hit me in the heart the most. (KH feels ;-;)

[@bear557]

Totally worth the one year wait. His improvs just keep getting better and better. Thanks Kyle, and enjoy a Happy New Year.

[@SliceofLife757638]

Words can't describe how amazingly beautiful this is, every single second was pure magic. Seriously, great job.

[@slurmpSSB]

How you do what you do really just brings me joy. Not only because this is from my favorite video game of all time, but because I can respect it as a fellow musician. I aspire to be as great as you one day. I have a playlist on my phone with your music that I listen to every night as I go to sleep. It calms me, and honestly gives me goosebumps at times. Thank you for all of the beautiful songs you post. You're a fantastic musician. Don't ever stop doing what you do, man.

[@noodles5363]

Goosebumps. Every time.

[@Pianoman1346277]

Thank you so much for once again challenging me to make my version of dearly beloved sound even better. As someone who wants to go to college for a composition degree, your work has been inspirational to me. Without this channel, I would not have discovered half of the pieces that caused me to fall in love with composing. Thank you Mr. Landry for all that you do.

[@bryanpotts5047]

Kyle, from the bottom of my heart thank you. It's been a rough couple of years for me, and I'm not sure if I would have been able to make it through the stress and schoolwork and the sleepless nights without your music. Maybe I would have found someone or something else, but I found your channel, and for that I am more grateful than I can ever really express directly. Good luck, and here's to hoping the internet comes through on your kickstarter.

[@music4life17346]

This is soo beautiful, there are no words to describe it. Kingdom Hearts is my childhood and listening to this makes me relive it again. Thank you :')

[@sunnycv2415]

A beginning of a year with a supreme touch of Dearly Beloved from our dearest Kyle. Thank You my friend for sharing your music among us and let us be the part of history that you are making every other year. Hoping That More Masterpieces will be coming in the following day ... Happy New Year Buddy ... and a Request Please Do - Eternity memory of light and waves - One more time ... Thanks in Advance ....

[@kennabrock4112]

I have to honor what beauty your melodies have filled my ears with these past few years. kingdom hearts is a big part of my life, growing up and I love the music in every way as I do in general. Listening to this brought tears to my eyes and I thank you, its beautiful and nostalgic.

[@96Pserverplayer]

What an astonishing pianist... You convert feelings into sound through that instrument

[@cvnixaur3737]

Over 14 minutes well spent, I'd say. Absolutely breathtaking. I get the feeling I'm now gonna wind up playing Kingdom Hearts all night... Well, a Happy New Year to you!

[@exodius5399]

I just cannot stop listening to this piece, so beautiful.

[@antmandj1760]

Back once again. Thank you for calming my soul in 2022 😁

[@blakshade123]

Ya know, year by year as I watch your newest edition of this beautiful song, I begin to realize how old I'm getting. It's so weird to think about, but I remember discovering you back in late 09, and binge watching your videos I anxiously awaited for that years version of Dearly Beloved. Years went by, and of course I've seen them all as they came out, but something odd struck me today re-watching this version for the umpteenth time. I looked towards the suggested videos and seen the 11' version there. It may sound weird, but holy shit... that was almost 4 years ago, back when I was a freshman in high school. Now, I'm halfway finished with my second semester of college. It's honestly mind boggling to think about, how fast time has fast forwarded without my consent, I feel like it was almost yesterday when those December weeks would roll by as I waited for a new Dearly Beloved. It's a crazy thought how much these Dearly Beloved renditions have been in my life. I never noticed, but these have been the unsung heroes of my high school days. Back when everything seemed hopeless and teenage angst got the better of me, I looked towards these videos for a sense of comfort, and the powerful emotional vibes they each give off. Without these, who knows where i would have been. Besides that, I wanna say how grateful I am to you and your masterful piano skills, they've really had a profound effect on my life. Here's to many more years of your piano playing! *raises glass of wine for a toast*

I wait for this song every year. It has been my favorite song from Kingdom Hearts, and your renditions are always so heartfelt and sincere. You are doing an amazing job!
