I can only imagine the look on people's face when they are told this piece is from a video game 😂. It's such a masterpeice

[@Lara-vo6rp]

[@Klaxynd]

Well considering this particular orchestra is known for playing anime and video game music…

[@failurextreme7084]

I still cry every time I hear this song. I'm just conditioned I guess.

[@dalewilson2741]

Song was written and used instrumentation to sound AS SAD AS POSSIBLE.

[@crimsoncapricorn188]

[@althea7181]

[@F3ARLESS]

Omg that breakdown with staccato make me cry all over the place, I dont know what this staccatos strings make to me 3:17!

[@sergiocabada2385]

Yes, they have a pretty cool part in sextuplets there ;)

[@2streetsounds]

It feels like the desperate feeling to cling to live. Not to be forgotten. The wish for more.

[@xcscientist]

Magnificent. One of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard.

[@aterriblesliceoftoast]

Here here! 🍻

[@liamallen2727]

Cheers! This is one of my absolute favorite score pieces.

[@aaronliggins1498]

You should follow the story of kingdom hearts your be surprised that's it's like god Vs the devil 13 darkness and 7 lights makes a chamber of 20 👍

[@adamdewitt6430]

If you like this, check out these pieces: Vector to the Heavens Roxas The Other Promise There are so many phenomenal pieces in the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack.

[@althea7181]

the dislike is from xemnas because he failed to use Xion

[@whyrwehere]

And the other 3 dislikes are from the other versions of Xehanort

[@Swordsheep]

​@@whyrwehereyeah dude went into all his bots accounts just to try to hate bomb tsk tsk...

[@Swordsheep]

One of them may be Larxene 😮‍💨

[@adamdewitt6430]

Roxas: But - who will I have ice cream with?!

[@johannfeliciano1829]

i always thought vector to the heavens is such perfect theme for xion, the soundtrack was always on point. as confusing as kingdom hearts is, its honestly such a masterpiece and 100% my favorite game series

[@rebeccachalk9970]

I was getting goosebumps just watching this, imagine being there in person and hearing it so moving! well done everyone in the orchestra

[@MimMdance]

Williams, Zimmer, Shimomura, etc, are the classical greats of our time.

[@ArtsyFemboyShirose]

Absolutely out standing ang gorgeous. I can't help but cry and remember even when I want to forget.

[@user-pq9ym6sc1p]

How amazing. This song is always impressed me.

[@nixonevans7244]

Minor correction but this isn’t actually xion’s theme that is “Musique pour la Tristesse de Xion” this is xion’s battle theme which is called “vector to the heavens”

[@futureqiqimain4601]

It's supposed to be a combination of both since u can hear both of them Like a medley

[@Thedude38356]

Beautiful! I love this theme.

[@aaronliggins1498]

Let your heart be your guiding key 👍

[@cocatriceboy]
