The softness in this caught me by surprise since I'm used to the rock edition but hearing it with a more gentle tone really is beautiful. Also loving those thalassa earrings!
Nate's version is definately Roxas to me- suits his hot-tempered personality (he's Sora wirh No Chill, basically). This version makes me think more of Xion, who is more of a sad, tragic character. Nate's version is epic, but this one is soft and beautiful. I like both!
Nate's a version of both Roxas's and Lea's sides of the story combined while Tara's is Namine's and Xion's sides combined. Both are amazing in my opinion
I just need a mix of the two songs. Letting her play the softer parts (ex breakdown 2, verse 2 and maybe even the outro) while Nate covers breakdown 1, verse 1 and a mix for both of them during the chorus
What? No its not, its Axel. Its obvious that it Axel that it hurts. Hold on to you is completely an Axel song with a bit of Xion. Read the lyrics dude, its literally Axel's whole character. He even says it as Lea, his catchphrase is literally used to make sure that he will be remembered by everyone he meets as his biggest fear is being forgotten
I want either a female version or a piano version, and you gave me both. Your cover is absolutely beautiful. I was rendered speechless fro a good few minutes after hearing this.
Back in the day, me and my friends used to enjoy Kingdom Hearts, and I used to draw my own keyblade designs. This really brings me back to the good old days.
Oh damn her voice is so close to Xion in that metal part of the original. That caught me so off guard but it was truly fitting. Fantastic as the original.
This is like a lullaby version and I love it!!! I love how you sing the lyrics so softly (especially the chorus) yet still manage to make hit just as hard!!! Fricking love this!
where Nate had screamo you had it a lot more gentle than the rest of the song and I say it sounded really nice. Loved the cover 10/10 would listen to again
this is so good! honestly, I'm not a fan of Nates super heavy stuff, so that part after the first chorus always bothered me. I like how you changed it here, it's really good.
I loved the original, which is praise coming from me since I don't normally like metal, and I love this version even more! I also love how it goes from Roxas to Axel to Xion and then back to Roxas in the ending lines. Very beautiful!
I love the rock cover, and this is beautiful, too. I got chills from your voice and even more at the refrain. You're amazing, and I can't wait to hear more of your music!
Wow wow wow. This song is great and magical. The lyrics and melody is nothing I ever have heard before. Tara you are the best. I am listening and a fan too.
*fangirling and screaming* 30 minutes pass by *deep breath* WOW! TARA! This is absolutely PHENOMENAL! I feel like your voice fits this song more than Nate's rock version (sorry, Nate), and it sounds perfect! Every thing about this song is awesome; the mixing, the vocals, the instrumentals! KYA!!!!! >0
Wasn't expecting you to reply! No problem! I love this song and your voice is so pretty! Mine is horrible.. You can hear it on my channel..! And also I was gonna cover this song to! Yayz!
This was amazing I loved it. I love Kh and I love this song. Keep up the great work. (Btw love your earrings how they are the shape of the shell you see the sea drag away in KH2 opening)
Amazing, but I gotta admit something. I was really curious about what you were gonna do during the screamo segment but you changed it well to keep the peaceful tone.
OMG! THIS COVER IS AMAZING! I did not expect to like such a soft cover but i love it! I use Nates version in some action scenes in my videos, would it be ok to use your soft cover for the end credits of my final series? Obviously i would put you in the credits and description
Love your version of Nathan's original song for kingdom hearts, u should try his other original reclaim your throne for final fantasy XV that would be so cool
Hi, I've been working on a Kingdom Hearts Union Cross Dub and I was wondering if you'd be interested in voicing the Foreteller Ava. I've always loved your videos. Especially the Kingdom Hearts ones. And I thought you could voice Ava or Invi well.
Okay, I've searched RUclips for a favorite Kingdom Hearts Song. I've just found it. Of course, Roxas and Xion are my two favorite characters, so that added to it. I had a request to draw this duo, may I add this song? Of course giving credit of the song to you. When I figure it out. I'm n

Lol,I know I like nate's version better

To me, i thing nate's version was like telling Axel's story
Kinda like Namnè
Nate's a version of both Roxas's and Lea's sides of the story combined while Tara's is Namine's and Xion's sides combined. Both are amazing in my opinion
I just need a mix of the two songs. Letting her play the softer parts (ex breakdown 2, verse 2 and maybe even the outro) while Nate covers breakdown 1, verse 1 and a mix for both of them during the chorus

Came from Nate's tweet saying he liked it! You have an amazing voice! :D
beastfighter1 same here
beastfighter1 Me too 😋
same
a softer version of the song... It's so soothing and the feels are just as raw... awesome job
Her voice is kind of like Nate (if he was a girl) mixed with AmaLee. The acoustic just makes it that much better because of that.
Dude, your voice is the voice I'd imagine as Xion's voice, so this is absolutely perfect!
I want either a female version or a piano version, and you gave me both. Your cover is absolutely beautiful. I was rendered speechless fro a good few minutes after hearing this.

Tara, I can't believe Nate actually got to see the video and liked it! HOLY HECKORONI THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Also the Keyblade necklace and the thalassa earrings, the outfit AND the eyeliner game... ALL ON POINT!
I got sent here from NATEWANTSTOBATTLES Twitter account. So good.
where Nate had screamo you had it a lot more gentle than the rest of the song and I say it sounded really nice. Loved the cover 10/10 would listen to again
It's SOOO beautiful! This is one of my favorites of Nate's and you did it such justice. Love this unique take on the song. Amazing job :)
Your beautiful cover is like the [After the Battle] to Nate's. Funny how he's NateWantsToBattle. Lol!
Thank you!
this is so good!
honestly, I'm not a fan of Nates super heavy stuff, so that part after the first chorus always bothered me. I like how you changed it here, it's really good.
Wow, Tara. You did a fantastic job. Singing, mixing, editing, and piano playing. Thanks for uploading this. Beautifully done. :-D
You sounded beautiful ❤😊 you are the beautiful gift of music ❤😊😇
Nate has got to hear this
I know but it might get lost so I posted another one
looks we got our answer
Tara, this video is a thing of beauty! At the risk of sounding cliche, you are truly a masterpiece!
Wow, I think you really nailed it. I see this as a very fitting theme to the end of 358/2 Days.
...chills and goosebumps everywhere... just amazing
I heard this song on Facebook this version and I tore RUclips apart searching for this one. I love it. Got yourself a new sub.
Thank you so much!
I GOT MASSIVE CHILLS AT THE CHORUS
Aww :3 This is so beutiful! So awesome!
damn it, I was not prepared for those vocals
Not sure which is better, the fact that you did this song or the fact that you did both this and Xion's theme in the same week
Wow this is so amazing Tara!! A real masterpiece... The instrumental and vocals are so beautiful and really suit the message of the song :)
my heart just melted, this is amazing!
Ever thought of doing a duo of this with him??
I loved the original, which is praise coming from me since I don't normally like metal, and I love this version even more! I also love how it goes from Roxas to Axel to Xion and then back to Roxas in the ending lines. Very beautiful!
This was so beautifully amazing!!!
omg the remember remember part got so soft and i loved it!
Thank you ❤️❤️
I love the rock cover, and this is beautiful, too. I got chills from your voice and even more at the refrain. You're amazing, and I can't wait to hear more of your music!
+SRE thanks! :)
God dang! First vid I saw from you, and already I love it!
Tara St. Michel No problem!
Wow this is incredible
I love your version of this song!
This is a nice change of pace from Nate's bombastic songs.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Nate, but my God, some of his songs. XD Nice job, Tara!
NIce Channel Icon
Wow wow wow. This song is great and magical. The lyrics and melody is nothing I ever have heard before. Tara you are the best. I am listening and a fan too.
*fangirling and screaming*
30 minutes pass by
*deep breath*
WOW! TARA! This is absolutely PHENOMENAL! I feel like your voice fits this song more than Nate's rock version (sorry, Nate), and it sounds perfect! Every thing about this song is awesome; the mixing, the vocals, the instrumentals! KYA!!!!! >0
Neo Neko Aria When I know you're fangirling harder than I am XD
ねオり/ Neolithia lol it's not "his rock version" it's his song lmao
That was awesome
that was really great
ikr she sounds a bit like Nate if he were a girl
This is so awesome!!
Wasn't expecting you to reply! No problem! I love this song and your voice is so pretty! Mine is horrible.. You can hear it on my channel..! And also I was gonna cover this song to! Yayz!
Thank you so much! That really made my day!!
This is so cool
Love this song! Really beautiful!
Superb!
Your tone is so soft. It makes a delightful contrast with the original. Keep it up
Thanks so much!
So beautiful! You've earned yourself a new sub, my friend 😁👍
Still listening to this (over and over)
beautiful
Haven't heard the original, but really loved you on this! Loved the piano arrangement/playing here too, just was really great to listen to overall :D
the original is super good too if you like rock music. It does have a bit of screamo tho
Tara, Nate and Amanda Lee are my favorite RUclips singers.
very nice
it is very beautiful, and your voice also makes it very adorable and emotional.
This was amazing I loved it. I love Kh and I love this song. Keep up the great work. (Btw love your earrings how they are the shape of the shell you see the sea drag away in KH2 opening)
Tara St. Michel they are pretty also is there anywhere to download your version of the song on itunes
awesome thanks
I really like your voice! Its so pretty! >_
As you spoke Xion... Your voice is so similar to hers...Wow!
I really love the soft version of this song.
Lovely take on the original. I hope you keep growing, you have a beautiful voice.
Thank you!
Are you a siren because every time I listen to you my mind goes blank and I just listened all day to your beautiful voice.
This is so beautiful, I want to cry
I love it
keep up the good work
no problem
Love it!
Very good
WHO'S THE JACKWAGON THAT DISLIKED THIS VIDEO????!!!!! WHAT THE DUCK????!!!!! 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆
...cute seashell earrings. also, i love the cover xD
Thanks! I actually made those earrings myself in a ceramics class!
Dang ok I'm in love with this song
I love the original but THIS is giving me goosebumbs and made me cry
Thanks so much! I love the original but it was nice to do my own take on the song and kind of imagine myself as Xion in parts.
Thank you
I could totally see this being the credits song for an HD remake of Days
+Daniel Fuller yeah the song fits the game perfectly
Amazing, but I gotta admit something. I was really curious about what you were gonna do during the screamo segment but you changed it well to keep the peaceful tone.
Yeah it seemed to make the most sense with the piano. Almost like a whisper or a soliloquy.
nice earring ;) and beautiful singing
Tara St. Michel Cool, i like to make stuff too
You have been noticed by teh Nathan. Also, sounds awesome
Love the song. It's now on my morning playlist. By chance have you heard the opening to Fuuka? If you have a chance would love for a cover.
Why can't my voice be that beautiful
OMG! THIS COVER IS AMAZING! I did not expect to like such a soft cover but i love it! I use Nates version in some action scenes in my videos, would it be ok to use your soft cover for the end credits of my final series? Obviously i would put you in the credits and description
When you started xion's theme I cried...
Xion or Namine vibes. Definitely a more lighter, sorrower version. It also sounds more like a message, like something Kairi would send to Sora.
Does this have a different chord progression than the original?
It should be the same, it’s just a different style arrangement
Honestly I like this a lot more than the original, and I love Nate's music.
Thanks so much! It’s just a different style from the original I tried and apparently that works for this song!
Your voice is beautiful uwu...
my favorite continue singing you are amazing girl
I feel like this softer version better fits the song.
God im so in love with her voice , not saying she isnt a cutie look wise but ey that voice is my new angel
Tara you are amazing your also the first youtuber to actualy respond to these kinda messages
Lol I have the app on my phone so it’s not hard. May be harder as my channel grows to see everything tho haha
still lol you the only one who talks back haha
Personally, I think this is better than the original.
Trying hard not to cry... x3
When did this hit 5000 views?! Have the last two months gone by that fast?
Love your version of Nathan's original song for kingdom hearts, u should try his other original reclaim your throne for final fantasy XV that would be so cool
This song makes my heart race haha
Hi, I've been working on a Kingdom Hearts Union Cross Dub and I was wondering if you'd be interested in voicing the Foreteller Ava. I've always loved your videos. Especially the Kingdom Hearts ones. And I thought you could voice Ava or Invi well.

I like your voice
"I owe my return to many"
Anyone else thinking she should do Colours of the Wind from Pocahontas?
Natewantstobattle should do a duet of this song with her, and have her sing xions parts
I'd love that! It's his song though, so I guess it'd be up to him.
Tara St. Michel I know he tweeted about liking your cover. Maybe you could reach out to him

J'ai voulu voir, en moi à l'intérieur
Mais il n'y avait rien ni haine, ni peur
Je ne sais à quoi me tenir
Quand tu t'éloignes de moi, tout s'empire
Ils nous enchaînent, de noir habillés
Disent que nos coeurs ont été arrachés
J'ai mis si longtemps à chercher
A fuir ce qui n'a même pas commencé
(C'est terminé...)
Ils peuvent nous croire Sans-Coeurs !
D'horribles monstres ne pouvant comprendre les pleurs
Ne t'inquiète pas pour moi
Tes souvenirs sont plus importants que ça
Si nous ne faisons que refléter
L'ombre de vie depuis longtemps terminées...
Mais je ne peux pas croire cela
Car tous mes souvenirs sont là
Au fond de toi...
(Souviens-toi, souviens-toi qui j'étais autrefois
Qui je suis, qui je suis, ne suis-je qu'une poupée sans vie...
C'est bon, c'est retenu ?!)
Mon coeur est un champ de bataille
Où règne une terrible guerre que rien ne pourra calmer
Mais je ne pourrais me pardonner
De me voir mourir en te volant ces souvenirs
Si tu disparais, que serait-il
Des coeurs que j'ai amassé ?
Ensemble, ces jours oublions
Ces mots effaçons...
Ils peuvent nous croire Sans-Coeurs !
D'horribles monstres ne pouvant comprendre les pleurs
Ne t'inquiète pas pour moi
Tes souvenirs sont plus importants que ça
Si nous ne faisons que refléter
L'ombre de vies depuis longtemps terminées...
Mais je ne peux pas croire cela
Car tous mes souvenirs sont là
Au fond de toi...
Souviens-toi, souviens-toi
Oui souviens-toi qui j'étais autrefois !
Qui je suis, qui je suis
Je ne suis qu'une poupée sans vie !
Souviens-toi, souviens-toi
Oui souviens-toi qui j'étais autrefois !
Qui je suis, qui je suis

This was great. Though I was half expecting to hear the heavy guitar.
Greg Sanders it's acoustic. there's no heavy in it
I can see how maybe that'd be expected considering the original but I actually like what she did with this a bit better.
this felt so 80's but great cover nonetheless
I can die in peace now
don't die...
this is really good tho
Don't worry, I didn't mean it literally
I know! But still lol
