Kingdom Hearts III - "Don't Think Twice" | AmaLee Ver (feat. Taylor Davis)

I 1000% agree

[@jasonramirez7011]

Yes !

[@ericcalm9924]

Same you magnificent person!

[@ashleighchambers8468]

The original encapsulated the sadness of the ending with Sora fading away. This captures a different element of the song that is equally important - Determination, to bring him back.

[@Depth217]

Agreed, this is Kairi determined that she wants Sora for a lifetime and she WILL get him back.

[@Dennyspuncakes]

The best way I can describe this version is anguish. The original was bittersweet knowing it was the end but still having the memories. This one is like trying desperately to not allow this story to end.

[@ao_firejett]

Amalee keeps surprising me and oh my god the art is giving me so much feelings because the violin makes it sound soooo goood. Like legit, this video is one of my favorites from Amalee now. MAY YOU HEART BE YOUR GUIDING KEY

[@shadownightdragon6524]

Oh that line they tried too shoehorn into kh3. Seriously I like the line " may your heart be your guiding key" but the game being like oh yen sid said it every time sora went on an adventure under his breath is stupid and I dont like it.

[@GdubForEFub]

I really thought Don't Think Twice couldn't get any better--- THEN AMALEE AND TAYLOR DAVIS SHOW UP WITH THIS MASTERPIECE

[@paysonfox88]

Hikaru utada herself sings the whole thing and wrote it.... I would suggest you listen to her English version of it. Utada is fluent in three languages, and sings in two of them. Of all the Japanese singers who became popular, I would say utada is one of the few that had genuine musical talent. She plays multiple instruments, rights music, sings multiple styles, has shifted from r&b and rap all the way into classical music with harps.

[@cmoney3163]

Fun fact, the song Don't Think Twice was intended to be a warning to players about over thinking the plot of Kingdom Hearts.

I just love how any non-Kingdom Hearts would be so confused considering this song sounds so romantic, yet the gorgeous movie is full of sad scenes and fighting 😂

Hiiiii my little fairy tail Lucy is so dream of you I lost mind for you you😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheStorytellerWolf]

God the growl in your voice when you hit some of those notes gives me life.

[@codeofzero1]

This sound and the picture you picked just made me remember how in the not everyone gets the happy ending even though they would but though hell and back. So know I’m the tears 😭 over that

[@KenjiShiratsuki]

Who didn't get a happy ending? I mean, Kairi and Sora got separated but we're gonna be trying to fix that in the next game, clearly. The wayfinder trio get back together, the sea salt trio are back together, even NAMINE has her own body. I thought Nomura would just forget about Namine like everyone forgot about Xion (except Sora, somehow). TBH the best part of KH3 for me was seeing the Guardian confirmed as Terra's Heartless, a long-standing fan theory.

[@AnggrekBiru]

@@KenjiShiratsuki let me fix it, its not kairi & sora that got separated , its sora with "everyone" , for me the saddest part was when master eraqus heart meet master xehanort, it looks like he want to say " its over my old friends, just follow me"

[@bowzer2405]

Wow a collaboration with Taylor Davis! It's a match made in heaven. Well done!

[@kenohki3492]

Amalee and Taylor Davis? How did I miss this one for this long...

[@drm726]

The best part of this song is that no other Kingdom Hearts theme has ever resonated so much with what was happening on screen while it was playing. Because Sora didn't think twice.

[@SeilLana98]

This will forever put me in my feels.

[@ventusketchwood5664]

2 years later and this song is still very much loop worthy. And with kh4 being announced this is just incredible amounts of nostalgia

[@iwanttosleep4506]

The movie is phenomenal. On another note, I'm just waiting for Amalee to make everyone cry by singing Homura.

[@aheffg5951]

Kingdom Hearts was my childhood so thank you for this

[@pwawhiskas3797]

I’d normally say this is just one of those songs you don’t cover, but this is amazing!

[@TheMasterofMasters1]

"May Your Hearts Be Your Guiding Key."

[@s3ngi]

Everything about this is just so well made dude, the composition, animation and of course vocals. I'm always so baffled by your videos, you can't even imagine. This being a Kingdom Hearts song makes it only better ^^

[@rachelsteiner3168]

Beautiful! Feels like walking through Disney world

[@HawaiianKinguin]

[@jharris3110]

The only game I've played in full being KH Dream Drop Distance and yet this still has me tearing up says something lol

[@coal9205]

I love that everyone gets different vibes from this song! Some get a sense of anguish, for others it's somber. For me? I vibe with one comment i saw that said something among the lines of this. "This song radiates an angry determination, a determination that that we WILL get him (sora) back"

[@potatoman26]

Was just listening to "Face My Fears," and was wondering why Lee didnt cover "Don't Think Twice" yet when I saw my alert go off.

[@player3617]

She did cover of one with a animation i believe

[@torgan]

In the KH fanbase you either hate it or love it, there is no middle ground. Don't think twice about your loyalty, having passion for games is maddening enough as it is.

[@xeshirem]

2:47 onward 3:18 is my favorite part if I absolutely had to pick. the composition is so good (the visual and sound choices)

[@KupoTunes]

The absolute force when she says the third DONT think twice is shaking me to my core 🥰😍

[@taylorkrane329]

“Babe wake up LeeandLie posted”

[@shadowRULESshadow]

Am I the only one that teared up when the silhouette of Twilight Tower was shown, and then cried a little at the Sea Salt trio? God, I love that trio so much. I bawled when they showed up in 3, cried so hard I had to rewatch the ending twice 'cause I couldn't see the first time after they were all on the tower together. And then when I got them in Melody of Memory?? I teared up when I saw their main menu screen, and it is now my "background" for my PS4 profile. Ugh, I love them.

[@danagoodwill9367]

What it makes this song so beautiful is Amalee's voice and Taylor Davis's violin And don't forget the animation!

As a kingdom hearts fan, I was obligated to click on this

[@stoneheart0007]

As someone who is presently learning what love is for the first time in their life, this song rips at my heartstrings. Because I want to love it. I want to sing it to the heavens. But every time I want to, I keep thinking about the one I'm developing feelings for. And I get stuck at the crossroads. Do I back off? Do I keep going? Pursue the feelings however small they may be, or go back to a life without this? Chase a far off dream, or keep hanging on to scattered memories? I'd keep going with the reference, but I don't know where our pieces line up. I don't know if this person is meant to be my friend, or meant to be the Kairi to my Sora. I don't know. Given right now I'm still figuring things out... We'll find out soon.

[@richardcory6267]

don't mean to pry, but how'd things go??

[@stoneheart0007]

@@richardcory6267 To put things simply... I was very bluntly told that they do not see me the way I see them. We're still friends, at least, but I'll forever wish that I could hold them like I want to. That I could cherish them as a Kairi, not as a Jasmine. If that makes sense.

[@WarriorofRed]

Holy crap I didn't realize it until watching it again after beating 3, but the silhouette characters represent different parts of different games through the series, mostly BBS and 358/2 days, but also some other bits. Edit: I also like the little detail of Terranort vs Lingering Will you see a glow in LW's chest area representing his Heart(I think)

[@themadgamer1217]

Freaking excellent. Taylor did amazing on the violin parts. That instrument just goes too good with an emotional song like this.

[@Chordata7]

This is a great companion piece to the face my fears cover you did. It’s visuals are strikingly similar but instead of radiating hope and excitement like the opening this radiates a somber tone almost one of grief. You truly captured the essence of both opening and ending without being direct copies of the original. TLDR GREAT WORK

[@raeyvies]

ah you caught the similarities between this and face my fears! yeah that was actually my intention when making this video all about the parallels but different feelings o/ this comment really made me happy to see ;u;

Waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3 was a big part of my life--nearly half of it in fact. We can't ever go back to being young when and experience the magic of these games again for the first time, but the 3rd game finally coming out was sort of the final "goodbye" to that time as a kid. Not a sad goodbye, but a happy one that we were glad to be a part of.
