Our take on “Ventus”-the broken boy-is one that tells his story with subtle references to several other themes from Birth By Sleep scattered throughout the arrangement. He is Xehanort's Key, after all. The piece proceeds with variations on Ventus with different instrumental groups waxing and waning in-between the piano, violin, and oboe focal point that carry the melody. Ultimately, the piece culminates to a frenzied oboe solo that leads directly to the finale of the piece, echoing Ven's desperation to save his friends and put a stop to Vanitas' threats.

You can really feel the sadness in Ven's theme. It's almost telling us his whole life. That's why it's my favourite
To me it is like that with all of the peoples themes
Yeah mate ventus has one of the top 3 best stories in kh
Mine is roxas’s theme!
I feel it connects to my soul more than any song. When I was 4 or 5 years old, I first heard this song, saw Ventus for the first time, and everything about Ven clicked with me.
Oh, The Other Promise at the start of Ventus Theme... I see whay you did there, Project Destati! Now I'm crying
Ventus, definitely my favorite out of the characters introduced in BBS!
I only really know terra and he’s giving me pain in the badlands rn 😭
I just realized that most of the instruments playing in this piece are wind instruments (oboe, flute, trumphets), wich is amazing since Ventus = Wind. It's details like this that trully shows the love Project Destati has for this series. Bravo
0:51 the chills
1:38 cry harder
3:42 Beautiful just BEAUTIFUL
One thing that I kinda like about this piece (or rather, Ventus' theme in general) is how the oboe(?) sort of represents Ventus' hope. During the piece, the Oboe almost always seems to be in a higher tone than the other instruments, which could represent the events of the series so far. During all of the trials and sorrow Ventus has gone through, he still kept a grip on hope, even when it seemed like he was in despair, he still had a bit of innocence in him, that even if he didn't think that everything would turn up alrighg, he still wanted everyone to be alright.
Great comment. I hope you will make your own music or story one day.
Solidarity1024 Oh, thank you! I try, haha! ^u^;
FAVE FAVE FAVE FAVE FAVE. Also, 3:42 gets me. Every. Single. Time. I catch myself humming that little bit at work a lot. BLESS.
This heart belongs again to Sora. All hearts begin in Sora, and all so end. Sora sprouts within it, he grows, consumes it! Such is his nature! In the end, every heart returns to Sora whence it came.
That's hilarious.
Jesus Christ the sovereign God loves you my friends :" )
Now that's a twist I'd see coming lol
@@joshua2400 He too, has been seeking the wielder of the Keyblade
Not only tears come down but I also feel a strange heart ache, like when you deal with a strong emotion. It's so weird, makes me feel sad like I really miss something but also makes me happy and hopeful by thinking I'll someday see again that which I'm miss. :')

Hello, Aqua. XD
deathound1019 Haha xP
You where too easy. Way too many similarities so I had to throw that out there.
deathound1019 Well, I just tried to express what I felt haha. Also Aqua is my favorite KH character, so that's a coincidence!
We're even then, cuz I lost someone important today... and I already miss her... I hope.. that one day.. I can take her hand once again..
Such beauty and legitimate feels. Ventus is one of my favorite characters aside from Sora, Aqua, Kairi and Riku, because he and Sora have deep similarities and his sadness feels very real, because of his dark half roaming around and the loss of both of his friends. Plus aside from the sadness, there's this sense of hope and why his heart is healing inside Sora. I love the minuet and the final movement symbolizes his awakening and Sora being the key to waking him up.
Ventus is by far my all time favorite Kingdom Hearts character
Same here!
Ventus, Vanitas and Roxas are my favourites
Ven, Aqua and Vanitas are mine
Ventus, Roxas, Namine, and Xion are my favorites :) But Ventus is my most most favorite ^^
Same 😭👍❤️
I'm not going to lie, I actually teared up a little. This is too beautiful for words. Which is only appropriate, given whose theme this is.
Thank you for making this masterpiece, Project Destati. I look forward to the day my sleeping beauty finally awakens from his slumber.
I'm trying my damnedest to not listen to these until the CD comes in the mail, but I absolutely love Ventus' theme, so I'll cheat by listening to this glorious piece.
Beyond Solace I'm saving my money and putting this on repeat.
the part at 3:42 is so BEAUTIFUL ! I keep replaying it over and over again!
And before that, he was once a union leader of the dandelions~
Seriously? I didn't know that.
I was searching about that subject and it's true. Unfortunately Ventus loses his memories about his past. What a fantastic way to show us a dramatic story about a great hero as him.
He basically loses his memories twice and most likely went through the harshest tragedies out of all of them if you take his dandelion past into consideration :(
With what's been going on about union x as well it seems to be getting worse for him.
@@caelus626 I'm pretty sure the Darkness is possessing him on and off
I love Ventus in a way I can't even describe. He's been through so much, and yet he still always gives his all to help everyone else, from his closest friends to the strangers he meets in other worlds. This piece really encompasses, as others have said, Ventus' story, all of his sorrow and all of his hope; his love for his friends, and ultimately, his bittersweet decision to sacrifice himself for them, while his heart seeks solace in Sora to heal and someday return. (Also, as an oboist, I'm loving the prominent role my instrument plays!)
I'm recovering, at least i'm feelin a bit better than the past 2 days.
Thank you Destati Crew, for helping me with music.
Ze_Scare_Crow I'm glad to hear it ^^
Whatever it is, it's nothing you can't handle
"Thank you for always keeping me safe, Sora"
"Xehanort wants me and Vanitas to fight... and make some kind of X-blade. But the Master said we can't let that happen. And he tried to destroy me for it..."
You can really feel Ven's loneliness in this. It's amazing how well it's portrayed here.
I legit got chills throughout this piece. Glad you guys are back Project Destati I can't wait to hear the rest of "Darkness" 😍
My favourite theme... and now it's tearing me up more... T-T Thank you! ❤
I've said this every video... But God.. is this stuff just so damn beautiful... Love you guys, and keep up the spectacular work
This theme is so gorgeous. Time to cry again i guess. you've done an amazing job, Project Destati.
I listened to this on Bandcamp, it is beautiful!
I cried so hard that I wish that they can make 10 hours of this!
You guys are doing as amazing as ever. Keep up the great work
Poor Ventus...
Great composition as usual !
I like how in the original it’s sad, but this sounds hopeful, Hopeful for a sign. I LOVE IT!
"Sora....thank you... for always keeping me safe. "
I am feeling things which i hadn't felt before... But its funny, now i just want to sleep, this theme really has Ventus's essence
3:42 I don’t know why but this makes me remember my childhood and thats why it’s the best part
You are seriously gonna make me tear up
Just fucking incredible 🌍💛 literally in tears. Thank you for this gift you've made for all us kingdom hearts fans
It's moments like these where it's okay to cry. I know I did.
this is the best calm music I ever hearn in my LIFE!
The beginning sounds so.. pure..
Ah, P-Destati. Don't stop doin' what you do.
3:42.
Just hits it hard
*My friends are my power! And I'm theirs!*
It's always about your friends isn't it? XD
At least I have some!
@@takerukari Ventus still has Vanitas in him confirmed.
@@caelus626 He never left me.
@@takerukari aww you guys are sweet brothers you and vanitas he never left you
Never clicked a video so fast in my life, like I didn't even read the title or literally anything!
Looks like the whole thing is gonna be uploaded.
I dont regret my purchase though, supporting this group is worth every penny.
Shot right through my heart
:D awesome arrangements
Eep! Destati’s back! :D Hooray!
I SAW THE TITLE AND CLICKED.
I love hearing little parts of the other songs in here.
I heard a piece of dive to the heart in there!
This was very good
Amazing!
omg.... i love this....
this is what you called Ultra Cover!!!
So I think I understand the logo’s color scheming now….
With the LIGHT version, it’s surrounded in blinding white light, with a blue logo, not too dissimilar from the blue on the Kingdom Key. The first blade we see, the light version of that design.
And here, in DARKNESS, a shimmering gold surrounded by black. The Kingdom Key D behind the door on the fallen Destiny Islands, which led to an area behind the first version of Kingdom Hearts that we saw. That and being the original Kingdom Key’s reverse.
Ventus
For me, the best theme in KH
Pardon me.
I think I need a second to sort out my emotions.
thanks destati :)
The beginning sounds like a fairy tale
Thank you for my soul. :)
4:46 Roxas is that you ?
😢
Jeje is the conection
Ngl, this actually made me cry.
Dude. No dislikes? Awesome!
Of course not. Only a heart of pure darkness could dislike such a masterpie-*sees the dislike counter*
FUCK YOU VANITAS!
Where are the people that tell you what part of the track references what
I NEED 3:42
You can hear Roxas' theme most, Sora's theme second and little hints of Xion's theme.
4:58 This reminds me of "One Family" from Tarzan
4:47 😍
Hey I have a question for you guys
I am a pianist, and I want to make a piano solo arrangement of this piece. I just want to see if I can get permission to perform and record an original solo of this piece.
I know I probably won't get a response about that here, but I would love to make and play an arrangement of this
If he shares of all his pain, I'll share. Mine with him.
Anyone have piano sheet music starting at 3:40
What's the main cause of some of the darkness within Ventus' heart? We just have to find out in Kingdom Hearts III.
“I’m asking as your friend... erase me.”
I got chills when he said that. I was scared that Terra and Aqua would do it but I'm glad they didn't.
ven please rebirth !!!
I...have to wake up...
3:42
idk, ventus's theme remembers me a lot of xion's theme
I think the main squenix team did this better for the orchestra. It's way more heavy and impactful. In fact I'd say squenix's ven orchestra rivals The Other Promise
Why is ventus in darkness?
But ventus is not in darkness
His past is remain in mystery, so it's "dark". :)
It's just the album name, not a theme.
Rosario Crimson thanks
Well, he's in a coma, so.
Can you guys pls do Ourchistru de Xehanort? I know that you guys are probs done, but KH3 does have a pretty good soundtrack, so... here's hoping!
oh, we're not finished. Several more projects in the pipeline!
How is he in Union x? Did he time travel, I am seriously confused.
Ventus came from the age of fairy tales. He is one of the Dandelions who was sent to data timeline eo escape the Keyblade War happening in the main timeline. When Darkness threatened that timeline, Ventus was sent to the future of the main timeline; the BBS era in the Keyblade Graveyard where Master Xehanort found him.
Ventus is a cool name. Till you remember it translates to wind. And the jokes he must have had to deal with being called a fart
By that dumb logic I guess Aqua is a piss? Cause water?😅
