This song resonates with my soul because for me it’s my childhood
took the words out of my fingers
Same here.
@@Saracay23like sign language or smth? lol
While most famously featured in "Kingdom Hearts 2", the song is actually from "Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories" which came out the year prior. Its one of the two themes to a place called Twilight Town, which is a fan favorite location that appears occasionally throughout the series.
This song is so good. So, something you'll like Geebz. This is the Familiarity title. The song is played as your background music during a long, seven-ingame-day tutorial of solving cool mysteries and being a kid. But then, the character you're with undergoes some event. And you swap to the character from the first game. Their music is the same basic sound, but it's also different instrumentation. The nostalgia factor is only there a little (as if you have a vague idea that this town meant something important to someone now gone, just like the new character does)
The second part is called The Afternoon Streets, and even that title change kind of shows the different perspectives of each character. Both see the same town, but one sees their love of the sunset they were always staring at, and the other the streets they're walking on.
This is the very first thing you ever hear in the game, and it's also one of the last. It also uses a similar instrumentation to the theme of the character who it represents. (Roxas, who has his own song you can listen to. Self-titled "Roxas" for the slow version or "The Other Promise" for a faster piece)
But, this song is all about a happy little town where the sun shines red across the skies in a near-24 hour sunrise/sunset. It's fitting that you call it a heartstring puller, since the character is regarded by those around him to be a special kind of person who lacks emotions. It shows his own internal depth.
hey man, you could check a lot of music of this game, every piece is so good
Agreed. Shimomura has a special touch
E V E R Y piece
This is an instant shiver-inducing song for me!
I always love how clean and smooth the 2.5 Remix version sounds of this song, but there's just that nostalgic feeling when I hear the original midi PS2 version that makes it sound more bittersweet when you know Roxas' story.
Kinda simple too. Both simple AND.... Clean
My Wife and I fall asleep to Kingdom Hearts Music together, and this is one of our favorite ones..! 💜
Man I’m jealous that’s wholesome af😂
@ZoraXIV
Find that right person, Fam.
Not just a person.
I know that's vague AF.... lol
But what I mean, is that it l took me 25 years to find the right Woman to spend the rest of my existence with. And if I can do it, so can you. So can anyone. I really do think that there is someone out there for everyone. All it took was for me to stop searching for it and finding myself first.
I've played all the KH games and I've been a fan since the first game came out when I was a kid. I'm 31 now and the music still gives me goosebumps, and I still highly enjoy replaying the games to this day. It's really awesome to see people outside of my generation enjoy a part of something I hold near and dear to my heart from childhood.
Keep up the good work my man!
I've also been a fan since the first game game out. I grew up with this series and I still love it so much. I'm about to have my first baby soon and I'm excited to pass on the music to them
@@Daydream_N Congratulations! And what a lucky kid to have such an awesome parent ✌️😎
Everything from the Kingdom Hearts Franchise touches my soul on a deep level. The series was formative for me, and all the compositions are etched in my heart. I tear up at nearly every song. A Mixture of Melancholy and nostalgia.
this is a song with a lot of nostalgia that definitely takes me back to my childhood playing KH2 at like age 13 lol was a fantastic series but we had to wait too long for KH3 Dx
Its a very melancholic piece that accompanies the very first part of the game where one of the protagonist spends his last days of his summer vacation with his friends with the setting being a town with a setting sun in the distance setting a very distint mood to it all.
This literally one of my favorite pieces to listen to in an instrumental playlist. This and Afternoon Streets, I like other pieces from KH2 but these two are easily top fav. The intro/prologue section of the game where things are easy goals, nice music and yet bittersweet/melancholy with context.❤
2:00 "You can envision, you know, dandelions blowing in the wind." Oh? *Dandelions*, you say? Well aint that just the perfect choice of words lol
Context: "Dandelions" is a very important part of the Kingdom Hearts lore. Won't give spoilers. If you know, you know.
I loved Kingdom Hearts music. It feels really, strangely homey. But sometimes a bit bittersweet. Like coming home, but no one else has come back yet.
I grew up on Kingdom Hearts and now over 15 years later the music still makes me cry.
I like all the normal things he's suggesting this might accompany, they all totally make sense, probably MORE sense than the real situation this music is for, which is the main character's sentient body is stuck in a digital limbo town while the main character sleeps in an onion…
Looks like the comment section's summer vacation is... over.
LOL I'm having KH2 flashbacks
Too soon 😢
About KH1 and 2 soundtrack, in the future I suggest you to listen to both the original and the ReMIX version: as the games' OST was remade, the ReMIX they changed some of the arrangements in various ways, adding or changing instruments/melodies (mostly shifting towards a heavier use of strings that in many cases, in my opinion, makes those tracks lose some balance or atmosphere the original created).
Curiously the KH3 versions of the few tracks from previous games do revert many of these changes, restoring them to be way more closer to the originals and how they sounded.
This is my comfort song. I love being able to throw this on and go back to childhood and remember my experiences with this game. Please do look into this series more. Many more calming and soothing pieces then ones of horror and then you get gut punches you didn't know you'd feel
It's funny because I don't know the names of most of the songs from the Kingdom Hearts series besides the themes from Utada, but this was the one that came to mind when I saw the name. It would be great if you were able to see what's happening in the game when this song plays. I think the visuals and song play off each other well to set a mood
Yoko Shimomura creates incredible music
Well you cant really deny that feeling warm and gentle feels good..
always loved this song
I do love the oboe. It’s just so … “trees”, y’know?
This is my childhood right here
One of my favorite games 🥲 please review more kingdom hearts osts
It's Very Similar to Final Fantasy 3 1990 My Home Town. 😢
For context, this track plays in the background for the beginning section of KH2. There's a twist that gets revealed after a bit, but in the beginning as far as the player is aware, you're a kid around 14, living out the last week of summer vacation with your best friends, doing odd jobs to make money to go to the beach, competing in a made up sport tournament, and finishing your summer homework.
This is actually my first time hearing this original track. I've only known it through the Consouls' jazz cover of it.
This isn’t the original, this is the updated final mix version. The original didn’t have that weird but at the beginning where the guitar and the xylophone seem to forget what notes they’re supposed to play.
Hey man, long time no see! However, for some reason what I don't see is you having any reactions to the Mechanicus OST by Guillaume David. Perhaps try the tracks 'Overlord' or 'Noosphere', although, listening the whole album is an experience of it's own. It's more like a concept album than a regular OST.
As some nutshell type background info, the Mechanicus are martians (humans from Mars) from around the year 40 000. Their society is a mixture of Spanish Inquisition and cybernetics driven high tech. They believe that the human flesh is ultimately weak and prone to failure so they try and replace all their organs with machinery to make it last forever. The music is a mixture of pipe organs, chorals and what some might call 'electronic music'. Not quite Jean Michel Jarre, but not far off either.
Mechanicus OST is one of the best game soundtrack albums in my opinion, usually games have one or two hit songs but here's a whole album where each song holds on their own and the atmosphere fits dystopic environment of the year 40 000.
You should check out soundtrack of Arcanum: Steamworks and Magick Obscura
Would love to see your reaction to a boss track from Kingdom Hearts, especially Darkness of the Unknown Phase 2.
There actually multiple versions of this song. Some of which have different names.
Definitely need some more Shimomura. The 13th struggle
Whoever this KairuHakubi is, them's fightin' words!
You should check out the song “feel” from lies of p
Kingdom Hearts games often have more than one version/release tied to a title, and music is often redone to accompany those re-releases, since the soundtrack carries a lot of the emotional backbone of the story of these games, more so than the stories themselves actually. The version of Lazy Afternoon you listened to comes from the final mix release of the 2nd game (hence 2.5 in the title), and comes with a lot more flourishes that make it crisp and refreshing. But as much as they do try to spruce the music up for these releases, there's just something about the soundscape of the original release that can't be superseded in ways that matter the most, even in the face of modern reorchestrations.
If someone suggests to you another Kingdom Hearts track, I would suggest listening to the original version.
Hey Geebz can you react to some music by Jessica Curry? She's a BAFTA award winning video game composer and classical radio presenter, she also founded the game development studio The Chinese Room with her husband (he made wrote the games shed write the music)
She won the BAFTA (British academy fail and television award) for her OST to their game Everybodies gone to the rapture.
It's phenomenal and genuinely life affirming.
Always loved lazy afternoons. Still, kinda loved the original PS2-sample based (I don't know how to call it) better.
Listen to “Nube Negra” from the anime “Bleach”.
im curious I'm looking it up
Can you do any of the music by Gareth Coker? I know you loved his king Titan music but he has tons more, also ark survival evolved (the game the music comes from) has tons of epic boss fights! Also it’s getting a remaster and is getting new music
i’d like to reccomend something if you havent reacted to it already: the divine damsel of devastation from the genshin impact soundtrack. its so powerful and elegant at the same time, it always gives me goosebumps 😂
Please cover more Yoko Shimomura. She has a full remastered album on youtube called "Drammatica The very best of Yoko Shimomura". Check out "Tango Appassionata".
Other promise orchestar version please
You should listen to the hollow knight sound track!!!!
To that guy in the chat, if Nintendo made it, I wouldn't have played this game. I tend to find most Nintendo games boring, but I do enjoy the convolutedness of Square's games. I know its insanity, but like the MGS games, you just enjoy the bonkers ride.
if i could recommend 1 boss theme from this game, it's got to be forza finale
“Characters getting together before they venture out into the next scene”
You are WAY too good at guessing what a piece of music is for. This song is literally the Prologue part of the game before the actual journey begins. Even the reflective part. When you come to this area of the game it usually is to I guess in a bad way of saying “awaken” something with certain characters.
That KairuHakubi person is such a Kingdom Hearts hater, holy cow.
Kingdom hearts is poor man's final fantasy music, poor man's Disney music.
There's no reason to bother with it when you could study Alan Menken and Nobuo Uematsu music instead. And depending on what you're doing there are better composers to take inspiration from. Kingdom Hearts is also one of those franchises which attract child like adults, bad connotations, mediocre music, bad game.
bro 💀can you just let people enjoy the game and music, why the negativity.
Spoken like someone who truly does not understand music in the slightest.
@@MeerkoMusicTo me it's one of the games that fall on the lower end of the spectrum in terms of storytelling, design and music. The preferences of those who enjoy it contribute to the decline of the HIGHER end of that spectrum.
not liking something is fine, but dismissing it and marking it as "inferior" simply because you don't enjoy it is pretty childish
@@heliart6155 I had a guy ask me to paint a picture of the main character from the game in his mermaid form, with his pants down at his ankles. When I turned down his request, he stalked me for weeks.
This doesn't reflect on the quality of the game or its music. But it does highlight something about the game, it seems to attract certain individuals.
I've had negative experiences with communities that surround child like video games, and this comment section is no exception. Why does it matter if someone doesn't like it, you like it, that should be enough? I personally don't need my tastes validated by anyone.
Kindom Hearts to me is a toddler game, adults that like it are in part responsible for the current state of the games industry. As a game developer I take issue with that the work is held hostage by this stuff.
Which is why I don't draw inspiration from it. I should be able to say that without being called childish or stalked by pervs.
This is my childhood right here
