Kingdom Hearts and Yvette Young fans are eating today
I skipped lunch for this for sure.
i am so freaking stunned by this
Excatly the day after ni learned to play sanctuary and simple and clean on a guitar lol
Enlightment has came to us all i guess
Oh yes indeed!
Yessirrr
Did anyone notice how the guitar was still “Yvetteish”? I mean that in a good way. Everything just works.
I'm not musically trained in any way, yet I can immediately tell within seconds if Yvette is playing.
She has such a distinct style!
“Yvetteish” We need to add this word for musical terminology now.
Yeah it's amazing like that.
that Miss Frizzle dress
I haven't heard this song in years. And I thought about it randomly. Decided to listen to it. And I found this. Less than 24 hours after it was posted. What luck and timing. I can't believe I wasn't already subscribed to Yvette's channel. I am a fan of her playing. Discovered her through one of my guitar students.
Your student has good taste in influence. I wish more musicians knew about Yvette and her playing style.
Literally giving me tears; we named our child Kairi, so this definately hits home. Beautiful cover
Aright not cool to play with everyone’s feelings like this 😩😩. This is what we all needed ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you guys are sooo talented. Thank you so much for this.
Never played KH, so I'm unfamiliar with the piece.
So as someone who listened to this as an "original piece", let my just say that I'm completely blown away!
It's absolutely beautiful, really everything about it!
The vocals, the duet, the instrumentation, the whole performance.
Breathtakingly gorgeous! ❤️
As a KH and Covet fan, this is like a wet dream to me. By far the best rendition I've ever heard of this song. Absolutely mind-blowing.
Thank you two for making this, and for uploading it to Spotify too!
Absolute chills. Haven’t fallen in love with a version of this song this hard since hearing the original 19 years ago. Absolutely stunning.
I always get really nervous when I see someone covering simple and clean, mainly because of how overdone it is, and how easily the cover can become cookie cutter. I had faith that you would go above and beyond, and you exceeded my expectations. Thank you! this is beautiful.
Best cover of this song by quite a large margin in my opinion 👌
Totally agree with your assessment
Mine is no way near as good as what these insane musicians are capable of but feel free to check it out, I just put a vid up a few days ago!
I played this first thing this morning and Franny said "I really can't tell - is that Utada or Yvette?" :D
You and Damien killed it!!!!
Yoooo Mikey that’s insane 😭😭 tell Franny thank you
Props to Damien for holding down that bass end and the vocal harmonies.
Every time I think Yvette couldn't possibly be any cooler, she proves me wrong. This cover is giving me chills!
One of the most unexpected, yet most pleasant combinations for me, Yvette one of my top favorite artists and kingdom hearts one of my favorite game franchises with some of my favorite game soundtracks. This is a really happy day
This is unreal, the instrumentation with the pads, violin, guitar, vocals, and the mix, just overall insane. Square Enix needs to use this on KH4
I like everything about Yvette- her singing was incredible, as was her playing of all three instruments. I am a guitar guy but her piano sounded amazing. Simple and Clean!
Oh man the "Hoooooooold me" verse is so great 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Goddamn Yvette, you've really grown as a vocalist. Beautiful
To be fair there's a bit of corrections here and there but yeah I agree, that sounds great!
OKAY 3 2 1 LETS JAM
Damien is just the luckiest guy doing this cover with Yvette, so jealous. ❤❤❤❤❤
This was amazing. Please do more collabs with so much light 10/10
I simultaneously love this while also feel so much pain listening to it
Damien is a genius, glad to know you're collaborators! His work with Speed of Sound in Seawater is pure brilliance
love when she sings
By far the best simple and clean cover I've seen. I love how you guys made it your own while still staying true to the original. I think my favorite part overall besides the beautiful singing was how understated the violin is. It's present and makes its mark but doesn't overpower anything. It's just subtle enough to work.
Check out Sokoninaru's interpretation. By far the best imo
The harmony we needed
I am a new subscriber but a long time Utada fan. You just won me over completely, what a powerful rendition of such a beautiful song. Cannot praise this enough!! 💕
0:31 that look on her face, knowing she just made everyones day with this
we dont deserve our ears to be graced with this much talent
I didn't expect my heart to be healed and carried into heaven when opening RUclips but I'll take it.
This is so nostalgic! You guys absolutely killed it! Really love the guitar and arrangement and how well it serves the vocals. 🌸
When you walk away
You don't hear me say,
"Please, oh baby, don't go."
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
You're giving me too many things
Lately, you're all I need.
You smiled at me and said,
"Don't get me wrong, I love you,
But does that mean I have to meet your father?"
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said,
"No, I don't think life is quite that simple."
When you walk away
You don't hear me say,
"Please, oh baby, don't go."
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
So simple and clean
The daily things
(like this and that and what is what)
That keep us all busy are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,
"Wish I could prove I love you,
But does that mean I have to walk on water?"
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple
When you walk away
You don't hear me say,
"Please, oh baby, don't go."
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
When you walk away

TY lol
This is the most heartfelt rendition I have ever heard of Simple & Clean. When can you say a cover beats the original - right now you can ❤️
I disagree. Its a great cover but its too slow for me.
Lmfao i love her but hikaru utada is fucking goated and thats not up for debate
hard not to agree. evidence is right in front of us :)
This turned a horrible day right around. Thank you guys for being so abso-frickin-lutely amazing!
Oh wow ... how did I not know about this cover before! So beautiful!
Since this song came out, I listen to it weekly. I show it to any ears that listen. Not even a big KH fan, just love this song, and love what you did with it. Thank you, Yvette and thank you Damien.
YVETTE COVERING KINGDOM HEARTS IS LIKE ICING ON A CAKE
I’ve never actually felt the need to “like, comment, and subscribe” until this video. Bravo.
This morning it was Sinnoh remakes and now THIS, MY HEARTSTRINGS TODAY
Jesus. I didn't know Yvette could sing too. This is amazing
This 5:10 was more moving and exhilarating than the entirety of KH3. 💜 thank you.
You just made my entire childhood better
the amount of talent and passion in this is so immense. Can't help but well up at certain moments
He left The Shire to deliver this performance
Damn one of my favorite songs... y’all killed it.
I cant believe this is already a year old! Such a great cover. I may be bias but might like it more than og
3:23 - 3:37 is just, magical.
Angelic manifestation.
That was absolutely beautiful. And gave me goosebumps listening to her sing
There goes my heart.
Idk how many times I've listened to this but I know I'm not stopping
god DAMN shiver me timbers yvette!!
Oh yess my ears are blessed!!!
Absolutely gorgeous sounding! Makes the little kid in me cry remembering the first time I ever experienced Kingdom Hearts and how much I listened to this song. Perfectly done!
I had no idea that my all time favourite game franchise and one of my fav musicians would collide like this. absolutely incredible
Yvette appealed to my love of math rock/djent, and now she appealed to little gamer heart. God she is so cool.
This sounds like if Simple and Clean was Midwest emo. So I'm pretty sure this is what KH fans are gonna start listening to each and every time Sora doesn't get into smash.
Edit: Holy shit.
This comment made my freaking morning :') Freezing Jazzy, thank you.
Lol with all of the new characters, it won't be long before we get all the outlandish additions like Sora, Master Chief, and Goku 😂
If we can get steve, anything is possible
This is a great comment haha
Edit: this was the perfect comment haha
i'm glad i checked this vid after sora just got announced for smash.
this is the version of simple and clean i’m going to listen to from now on
How much fucking talent, beauty, and passion can one human being exude.
So happy to see Damien and Yvette collab together again
What better than listening to talented people, who love what they do💓🙏 Thank you very much for this piece of art
Mesmerizing Queen❤️
I can't think of a more perfect cover
This sounds like a Kingdom Hearts finale for the saga 😢I love it so much ❤
Oh my god I'm absolutely freaking out, my favourite guitarist in the world covered this song from one of my favourite games? Today's probably my lucky day
Wow, yvette's voice is perfect for this song... ♡
I've got chills and tears... The nostalgia and emotional weight that this song carries just hits me like a truck, especially when its performed in such a creative and beautiful arrangement by one of my favorite artists. Thanks Yvette
My goosebumps were INSTANT. wow.
My ears have been blessed by angels
Nobody has ever done this song better in my opinion ❤
Just stumbled upon this out of nowhere. Listening to this made my day. Thanks
Listened to a few songs of yours, but this cover is why I subbed 🤙
I haven't even listened to it yet and I'm about to starting getting in my feels. Hit right in the childhood
This song is forever. it hits!
RUclips recommended this Masterpiece of a cover to me?! What a gorgeous sound.
Ahhhhh totally refreshing, Final fantasy 8, totally brings me back to when Cloud Danced with Quistis at the Top of Mount Doom.
Finally some good music, simple and clean, just how I like it
wow i got the chills
I legit just shed a tear. This is beautiful.
I'VE DONE IT I HAVE FOUND MY NEW FAVORITE COVER OF THIS SONGGGGGG

That was like the only thing worth listening to that I've heard in the last 5 years.
This makes me so happy. Such beautiful voices!
This is beautiful :') Thank you for making this!
Was about to SMASH that like button when the music transitioned to piano but then I realized I had previously beat myself to the punch.
Incredible. Simply incredible.
Absolutely stunning.
Absolutely Beautiful!
So wonderful. I think I've played it 10 times now.
I cannot express how much I love this. Fantastic.
every time I watch this , I happen to burst out in tears
(happy tears , dw)
Now my ears are blessed. One of the more beautiful things I heard in months. AMAZING!
Exactly the thing I didn't know I needed until hearing it. I'm sure Utada Hikaru would approve :) Wonderful guys!
Died and went to heaven for 5 minutes... Utada Hikaru must listen to this
Damn, this hurted in my childhood memories
I'm not crying. . . you are.
