Kingdom Hearts - Destati [Project Destati: Awakening]

[@CampingforCool41]

As a kid playing Kingdom Hearts for the first time, Destati was where this adventure began for me, it always gave me chills. Such an incredible piece to have in a "kid's game".

[@gablink5190]

this is a great kid's game.

[@matheusb.bergara5251]

Superbosses kills us quite a lot for a kid's game

[@insertname4337]

Kingdom Hearts pretty much isn't a kids' game, it's more for people who grew up with it

[@niahoad]

@@insertname4337 kingdom hearts 1+2 for me are like a disneys best of/all in one adventure

So much to do, so little time... Take your time. Don’t be afraid. The door is still shut. Now, step forward. Can you do it? Power sleeps within you. If you give it form...it will give you strength. Choose well. There will be times you have to fight. Keep your light burning strong. The day you will open the door is both far off and very near. The closer you get to light, the greater your shadow becomes. But don’t be afraid. And don’t forget...you hold the mightiest weapon of all. You are the one who will open the door.

It was calm and then suddenly through the darkness, TROMBONE

Before you become a Keyblade Wielder, before you can face the darkness.... you must face that which lies within.

[@RockHikari92]

Oh, man. That bit from "Fate of the Unknown" that played at 3:40 gave me so much feels :D

[@Umbran]

Right?? I'm so glad they snuck that in!

[@mc_goji_wolf]

0:24 That part startled me a little, since it was not expected. Still, nice track! Keep it up!

[@ProjectDestati]

Gojira57 We understand. Trombones are startling.

[@SourCherryBomb]

Project Destati Holy crap, that was a bit shocking.

[@simonboger2244]

I'm a trombone player, and yes it is frightening how loud we could be. And that's what makes it fun to play trombone.

[@sk8dudejames]

Why don't these have more views and comments?! These are amazing! I'm finding myself liking a lot of these more than official versions... Seriously great job! Love the hints of Dearly Beloved in this!

[@FlownXp]

I can feel the transformation of Xehanort. His journey to the darkness. This is absolutely magic.

[@jokerpenguin9429]

Terra`s theme mixed with Ansem final boss's theme... You are such a prophet.

[@ZombiBunni_]

I can distinctly recall the exact emotions I felt when I heard this for the first time around 15-ish years ago... I was terrified firstly, too young to be playing Kingdom Hearts despite it being so riddled with Disney, but I was also *filled* with some truly special and unique emotion. I felt steeped in the magic and awe, truly called to adventure - as if I *was* Sora in that moment. It was such a poignant introduction level, honestly, that even my night terrors and hallucinations (I’m narcoleptic) began to take the form of Darksiders or other heartless... and sure, that was scary as hell, but having this game? Having Sora? I learned and felt so much with this game, and I don’t really understand it, but I don’t get nighttime hallucinations anymore at all. I’m pretty sure that’s because of some strength or bravery in the face of darkness that I learned from Sora, cheesy as it sounds. Maybe there’s a more medical explanation, but my cognition was definitely shaped in some major ways by this game; and this song- though it is what warped my visions to such creepy things in the first place -was really the start of something major for me, just as it was for Sora.

[@frankv.webster1775]

I let emotion run through me like a jolt of electricity pulsing, it’s vibrations resonating like a tuner I am but a platform used by many but understood by few I am a source of knowledge that many take for granted and granted it is, for I feed as you are by the imagination that lets our mind wander but keeps us rooted as well I have found peace as well as picking it up and holding it for all others to see, if they’re eyes are open there are two corridors in front of my reactions one filled with the darkness of paranoia and mistrust and the other is the dive into the heart Now it’s time to wake up.

[@hudsonbradford1718]

What is this quote from? That's beautiful.

[@stephaniek3663]

according to kh ultimania, this song is "cursed". :0 awesome work as always!!

[@AZperson25]

i get chills the very moment the choir comes in

[@kissthemoongoodnight5531]

Absolutely in love with your work!

[@ladylilac3726]

1:18 I totally wasn't expecting the violin to come in, and them the wonderful horns to compliment with it, I got goosebumps!. hAHA same thing happened at 1:40 with the awesome percussion and horns and tubas. Goodness haha

Billy Zane forever the best VA in KH

[@jessebridgeman767]

God that line always hit me with serious chills. It's just so... nonchalant. Like, he has a tone as if he's just making a casual observation for something damn near incomprehensible for the average person. I just like how much he brushes off Riku's circumstances- he's almost giggling at the notion that one would consider just being surrounded by water to be a prison.

[@julietiscoull]

can't understand why you guys aren't more popular. Your songs are great :)

[@redeyedraven22]

The choir gave me instant goosebumps.

[@rolllrolll8426]

I never played KH before hearing this and I loved this arrangement so much I desided to play these games. Now, after finishing KH3, I'm here again with tears of joy. Thank you!

[@giovannidugo7594]

2:00 final ansem's battle theme?

[@tomcfarrell]

3:41-3:48 FATE OF THE UNKNOWN! :D

[@LivePastTheEnd]

I need an hour long version of this.

[@iggyp4390]

I’ve listened to and love all your work, but I have to say the intro to this track will always be my favorite “moment” in your catalogue. You all were truly channeling Yoko when you came up with that Dearly Beloved/Destati intro. The way you create so much tension with that blasting horn against the piano and the rising choir is inspired. I personally would love if, in your next album, you revisit some of these ideas and come up with a totally original final boss theme. I’ll always be sad that the KH3 final boss music was handled so carelessly, but I think it would be cool if the fans inspired by KH’s music were the ones to give Xehanort his real, true musical farewell. ;)

[@mikigirl18]

Destati is always an amazing track, and boy does this knock it out of the park.

[@Axelfan7]

This should be KH3's final battle theme

[@Luchux177]

It isn't but the one is cool enough.

[@godemperorpepe]

Dude, this is really awesome. thank you so much

[@verinyce5897]

One of my favorite songs from the soundtrack beautifully remastered. It was a different experience altogether from the original dynamic choir overtaking most of the orchestral music.

[@mattaxeman95]

It's surprising how much this song calmed me down after I got my ass handed to me multiple times when I tried to jump back into KH1 on hard mode (It seems I'll be spending the next few hours trying to level up before I progress)

[@samagonic263]

This is *really* well done, amazing work!

[@tkorganization931]

Truly incredible...

[@1truecrazychris348]

When it came to doing a little what if I could choose, and design 10 characters for Smash Ultimate as a Kingdom Hearts fan Sora was an early and easy choice for my list, and when it came to the 20 songs that came with him only one song was higher on the list than Destati, this version of Destati to be exact, Dearly Beloved.
