"A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory.
A far-off memory that's like a scattered dream.
I want to line the pieces up___
yours and mine."
The phrase of no effect #_#
I'm showered in prickles. Goose bumps. Thank you.
this made me cry :,)
your voice is so pure. dare I say, it's simple & clean
teacupwheeze this didn’t get the attention it deserved
Lol 😂
Eric V I live for these comments lol 😂
Dearly Beloved, this comment section is nothing less than a Sanctuary
Cringe
Square Enix needs to hire you.
ikr
If they can't get Utada, they should get her. She'd do just as good as her, if not better.
The Lone Dreamer don't try to dis Utada
African American Bundle Of Sticks well, I wasn't trying to, but I suppose I did, huh? Honestly I just wanted to compliment Mree. I love Utada's work on the theme songs. They're beautiful and I doubt it would have been the same had Mree made them from the start. Utada definitely created two masterpieces, possibly more if you count her other songs.
The Lone Dreamer Have u ever heard "Beautiful World" by Utada?
I think it would fit KH as well for an opening. It's one of her early "other songs" lol.
This makes me incredibly hopeful yet desperate at the same time. I feel like this a war song from heaven. Thank you for your beautiful music.
Wow.
Dear, Mree.
You might not be able to read this comment because it's buried deep underneath others and you might be busy; but I will at least try. Here it goes...
The first song I listened to was your last KH cover which was Simple and Clean. I immediately fell in love with your style. It was unique and had an emotional connection to the audience which many musicians today are having a hard time developing in their own music. I, of course, did some researching and found your song "Little Bird" from Sound Cloud...
My father passed away 5 years ago. The first melody of that song was the moment your music made me feel like a child again waiting and hoping my father would come back home after passing. Your songs are like those Little Birds reminding me of my old memories in the past that we do not have to let go even when we are old. It's indescribable and you made me feel it. I just want to say that your music is special. It will impact others the way you impacted me. Thank you.
- JJ
Jeremiah Gallo - well said!
I feel the same way! You`re not alone in feeling that way. She`s incredible.
Mree needs to go pro some one needs to pick her up...
I found out my father passed away yesterday, and I've been going on a nostalgia binge to help myself through it.
If Utada Hikaru doesn't come back for KH 3 you should sing the new OP
right?
U are absolutely right!
^
I've had this same thought!
Wow high praise. However, covering a song and making it from scratch has a huge difference
So sad that I'm sitting in a Manhattan pizza shop tearing up... Nostalgia hits so hard man.
hello from 8 years in the future. Do you remember that Pizza?
Literally the only person who can even come close to the original. Absolutely stunning cover much like the one that brought me here, Simple and Clean, this is a masterful cover of an already excellent song. I waited, and you did not disappoint me with your angelic voice. Thanks for this, and keep those songs coming!
+Tim Macone (infinitybelt) Thank you so much!!
+MreeMusic btw KH 2 is my favorite game of all time!
I could see it for a easter egg or something in 3 . Would be cool or if 2 gets a hd remix
+Prism Sage Kingdom Hearts 2 *did* get an HD Remix..
+Ivana Garza it was the best one to me so of course it would get one.
She's literally perfect
This brought tears to my eyes.
Still return to this six years later. You're the only person to get close to the magic of the original.
You know that feeling when you fear to listen to a cover of a song you love and you then realize that it's as good as the original one ? Well that's my exact feeling right now. Your 2 KH covers are heavenly 💕
Emma honestly, I think this version might just be better than the original!
Beautiful rendition of Sanctuary, Mree! Love the flow of combining it with Passion!
after the song ended. I stood up out of my chair and starting crying and clapping. In no particular order.
+TJ Hooper I got pure chills listening to this. When it ended I was just literally blown away. I had no words
lmao
my chair stood up and started crying
after this comment ended. i stood out of my chair and started vomiting and cringing. in no particular order.
You should be ashamed
WOW this is impossible!!! It sounds so heavenly.... I'm speachless!!!
Thank you! :3
waiting 4 a reply
acidlulluby it is called sanctuary after all 😄😂
I literally SCREAMED when I saw this on my subscribers feed. You outdid yourself again!!!
ditto
Tritto?
Ditto it means I reacted in the same manner as princess Garnet
+Raven Starfall Lol I know. I was saying tritto as if that was a saying. I agree with you both.
+TheUnbornNobodyX now I fell stupid how did I not see that
You truly have a great talent. Thank you for all the great work.
Thank you for listening!
i have to agree with you! True talent here, sounds amazing!!
waiting 4 a reply
You definitely bring justice to a song that brings back so much meaning and nostalgia to me ♥️
+Rebekah Sutton so happy to hear that :)
4 years later and I’m still listening
This is amazing! Sora coming home at the end if KH2 was the ONE time in my life i actually got emotional over a video game, and this song is forever etched in my mind along that moment. Ive heard many covers, but never one that compared to the orginal untill now! Well done Mree!
wow this can't be real. only a goddess can make something this beautiful... oh wait.
She is definitely a goddess. XD
I said this on your other cover and I'm saying it here. You are such a talent. You have a way of transforming these songs into something so emotional and unique while still honoring the original artist. You are absolutely wonderful and I look forward to any and all future projects from you
+chuwiwoo Thank you so much!
love it when I find covers of songs that make me reminiscent of my good ole childhood games. (Kingdom Heart soundtrack is great)
Good lord your incredible, I'm gonna subscribe for the next time you upload 👌
Thanks for the support!
You're absolutely incredible Mree
The Japanese singing is making my heart melt.
Everything about this is perfect.
What talent. Mree, I am a fan fo life.
I think my ears melted...... you are so talented it is unreal....
+Yamin4-Studios Not only did my ears melt off, I froze from the pure chills I got from listening to this lol.
I think "skilled" is a better word. You're born with "talent", a "skill" is practiced. This level of vocal work takes practice. SERIOUS practice :D
Omg I'm going to cry from all the memories this song brings! You totally nailed it! 😭😍
I literally just found your Simple and Clean cover earlier today. I'm so glad you finally made this cover, too! I absolutely LOVE how you blend the English and Japanese versions into one song. It's evident just how much time you devote to your work. Beautifully done! I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of your channel now! :}
Into the Well is one of my favorites :) enjoy~
Dear Mree,
Thank you for this beautiful materpiece. Kingdom hearts and KH2 were my escape and helped get me through my traumatic childhood. No matter what bullies did to me at school or what happened between my parents at home, Kingdom hearts was my safe place. Thank you so much, for bringing back the feeling of that special safe place.
Sincerely, a heartless who's found his heart again.
This song has been on repeat for about 4 days... I can not stop listening to her voice..so soothing.
Love all the effects that you really hit perfectly in the song, the backing vocals rising up as the main melody falls is chillingly beautiful. Also you look really boss when you play bass.
Woooooooooooooow, I have no words. simply perfect. good job!
Bruh, I get these chills every time I listen to your Kingdom Heart covers. Your voice is just absolutely beautiful.
I've got chills. Perfect.
damn girl. i see you back at it again. hitting the people with your musical talents.
Finally! I discovered your channel when I found your amazing cover of simple and clean, and have been anxiously awaiting for Passion! Thank you for another beautiful rendition on one of my favorite songs.
+Caleb Fail Thank you! Glad you like it :D
Absolutely phenomenal! This is one of those songs that was done so beautifully that my eyes instinctively started watering up without a reason. Love your voice, keep up the incredible work!
I couldn't even move from the amount of chills that this gave me. The emotion, melody, and angelic vocals were like a tidal wave of epic!
Just happened upon your music today while relaxing. was on my phone so no video. goosebumps galore, blown away. Later on, fiending to hear this cover again. Opened it on my desktop and watched the video, even more goosebumps, even more blown away. Now a lifetime fan. Thank you.
AHH! The nostalgia! Love this song and Mree you've done it justice! Beautiful :)
+Deacon Marsh Thank you!
Found this on Spotify a month ago and now I constantly listen to this cover everyday going to work and coming back home. By far the best cover of this song. Period.
Low-flying atmospheric ambiance in this cover.
Couldn't look away either because of the flawless depiction of the facets of the singer & songstress.
Your voice is utter perfection I am in tears because this is so amazing thank you so much for the beautiful kingdom hearts covers I hope to hear more in the future ❤
+phantomblack 08 Thank you :3
+MreeMusic you're welcome :')
Totally wish I could actually buy this on iTunes
+Kalen Dees Same here! Still waiting on iTunes to post. In the meantime, you can buy it on my Bandcamp page > bit.ly/1ssIA1o :)
+MreeMusic oh my goodness God bless you
Her voice is so soothing. Luv it.
I never thought that any cover of this song could make feel as ecstatic and peaceful as the original, but here it is. Absolutely incredible
I accidentally stumbled upon this while searching for kingdom hearts videos and I'm absolutely in love with your version ❤️❤️
Have you heard her simple and clean cover? It's great! 😍
+Samantha Muniz yes! I went and listened to it 😍
+Kaitlin Marmon Hopefully you check out her other stuff too. She is so awesomely talented.
Can’t wait to hear your version of “Don’t think twice” :)
Was really hoping for this and it finally came. Thank you so much, I love it!
Always look forward to your videos. Thanks for brightening up my day!
Fuckkk why do I feel like crying listening to this song but I love kingdom hearts and have fond memories of the game LOL
I've been watching your old videos to your most recent ones. Your voice developed beautifully. Your voice is soft but magnificent. I used to be insecure with my soft singing voice because I thought it would not be as significant and impacting as Beyonce's or Celine Dion's... but your voice is so unique, it encourages me to keep singing. :) People used to comment that I sing effortlessly.
About this song cover, I'm obsessed with the instrumentals. Ahh and it's combined with your voice, it's eargasm to me. XD I feel like my middle school self when I used to be obsessed with Utada Hikaru's music. Hahaha
+Heather Modoki Definitely went through that Utada stage in school too! Haha. Thanks for listening & agreeing that softer voices are just as impactful too :)
Where have I been, brought tears to my eye, this was amazing thank you for making this cover!🤧
I've been waiting on this since the simple and clean cover tbh.
Really nice work!
Loved the cover. The first time I heard you sing was when you did your cover of Simple and Clean. Ever since then I have been a big fan. No one makes music quite like you Mree.
+Sakeking Thank you so much :3
Have you ever thought about doing a cover for each song separately? I like how you put both in one but I would love to listen to just English and one just Japanese. This cover is the best one I've ever heard! I just want more of the song in the two languages lol
Terry Mireles yes please
I have been waiting for this since the last cover. Great job again Mree!
I have been waiting forever for this
So. Good.
welp at this rate you should make the entire soundtrack over xD
I always return to listen to this cover. It sounds like magic. Mree, thank you for sharing your music and renditions of songs with the world. It's been a comfort and a sanctuary.
This is a different level of quality in production. Absolutely perfect
can't wait to hear you sing kingdom of hearts 3 new intro song cant wait till it's out ○♡○
ugh
+TreTzyTV Agreed
+TreTzyTV OMG YES TRETZY I LOVE YOU.
Cold chills from the start. This is amazing.
Painfully nostalgic and beautiful at the same time... It's like hearing a variation of echos from my past, it's perfect
lmao this is like a hella better remastered version of sanctuary
wow.... if the developers of kh ever need a new singer they should look at her.
+Thomas Jackson that would be a dream come true!!
MreeMusic senpai noticed me? YAAAS LAWD
MreeMusic but seriously love your music and beautiful singing voice
This is absolutely beautiful, listened with headphones and my eyes closed, gave me goosebumps! Your voice is stunning
Absolutely brilliant once again Mree. The nostalgia waves man
Dear god... this is amazing, and your voice... okay. I know that I have a snowball's chance in hell of you being interested, but when I find someone as perfect as you for this, I have to take a leap of faith. I am currently making a Kingdom Hearts fanfiction based video game, before turning it into an animated series(Once my laptop is fixed). I would be beyond honored, or humbled, or any other word you could think of if you would be willing to sing the intro/outro for this(these?) project(s?), as well as voice act for a secret boss, because you have her voice exactly. I'm going to hope beyond hope that you're interested in this. Please get back to me when you can, I very eagerly await your response.
how....... are you real......... oh my goodness
Positively otherworldly in its scope and beauty. I just realised how magnificent this is after really sitting down to listen to it.
I'll never be able to get over how amazing this cover is..I get chills every time.
Now that I've fully learned passion in all the Japanese words it was hard to follow on this cover 😂 it was like
Zutto mae ni suki data hito
Fuyu ni kodomo ga umareru su ya
Mukashi ignored ignored ignored ignored
Ignored ignored ignored ignored ignored
Ignored ignored ignored ignored ignored
Ignored ignored ignored ignored ignored
Ignored tachinide kinakate koto wo
Totemo natsukashiku omou yo
And that's it. I wish she did the whole thing in her beautiful voice 😭
I really love you. BYE. ;;___;;
omg yeeesssss!!!!
I've been waiting so long for this masterpiece
keep up the great work
I really love how you go with both the japanese and english lyrics. honestly the very best covers i've ever seen for my favorite childhood games. honestly just straight chills listening to this.
absolutely gorgeous
Insane how you elevate something that is already pretty awesome, goosebumps
😍 in love with these covers.
Glad I found your channel again. I'm so happy you covered this song. Brings me back. Thank you
I swear, this song marked my childhood soo much.
I will never forget the day Kingdom Hearts 2 was release, and me anxious to get out of school soo my father could take me to the store. That opening was just... well made me fell in love with the game.
I got chills. This is beautiful!!
I love hearing you sing my favorite songs from my favorite game series thank you so much for providing an amazing cover for this soundtrack
Simply amazing
Your voice is beautiful, I have been looking for a Sanctuary cover for so long but none I found were this awesome! I felt at peace listening to you and now I will hit the play button for the millionth time.
YES! I've waited SO long for you to cover this and it came out AWESOME! Great job 😁👏🏼👏🏼
Absolutely perfect. I cry again.
First 2 seconds already got goosebumps from the beautiful harmonies. I have no words to express how beautiful your cover is.
Another wonderful piece of music introduced to the universe. Thank you.
I've been searching for a decent cover. This is beyond decent, This is amazing. Thank you for covering this beautiful song
This made me love the song all over again. Perfect..
Unbelievably impeccable. Your voice is perfect. And I've been listening to Hikki for so many years now that it's hard to hear anyone else even try to cover her, but you did Hikki right with this cover. I commend you, and honestly this cover moved my heart of hearts. Thank you so much.
Also, you nailed those first 25 seconds. Brought back all the feels from the first time I heard it and more
I love the atmospheric mood
I've been waiting for this cover, thank you! I love this song so much, and you made me love it even more :) Beautiful.
love this one
I almost cried at such beautiful talent
