We're blown away by all the love we've received for our version of "Sanctuary", and your support inspired us to tackle another Kingdom Hearts cover. "Face My Fears (feat. Tiaday)" is out now! Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/pWVRCl7rNCo/видео.html
If you play sanctuary backwards it says "I need more affection than you know", and they included it as lyrics in this cover!
That’s because in Japan they read from right to left . That was intended .
@@culleningram7246 No that's just because in the original Utada says it reversed ("wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I"). It doesn't have anything to do with reading styles.
I had to go to the original... HOW HAVE I LISTENED TO THIS SONG FOR YEARS AND NEVER KNOWN!?
@@sjtiernan5841 me too!
@@culleningram7246 that's only half true. Japanese is only read from right to left when the characters are in columns. When they're in lines, they're read from left to right
There are 3 things I know for sure in life.
1. The house always wins.
2. Carbs taste good.
3. That lead guitarist needs more affection than I know.
Can confirm
Wow. I finally get this song. The singer is giving an ultimatum: Participate in a mature relationship with me or it's over. I can't stand pretending to love you in that superficial way any more.
Weirdly enough that's almost the exact same message as Don't Think Twice. Basically, take this seriously or we're done.
That's also the message of "Simple and Clean"
Wow, Kingdom Hearts really was just a giant relationship metaphor the entire time, huh?
Think it like this:
Each song describes romance in different stages in life
Simple and Clean gives more of a childish "first love" vibe, in which romance is confusing and you hope that getting older will help you understand it better, tho', you still want to be with that person
Sanctuary seems to then be more like a teen love, or at least young adult, the transition from a superficial "I like you" to...well... "I need true emotion", also interesting how "I need more affection than you know" is backwards, probably a reference to how understanding each others feelings can be difficult sometimes, or that expressing those feelings is the difficult part...hell, maybe both
Then Don't Think Twice and Face My Fears both seems to deal with the same idea of letting all those previous apreensions fade away, the japanese version seems to be alude a way more to marriage in the lyrics, so maybe that's kinda of the closing of the story being told
@@guilegale8942 Always has been - the connections that hearts form~
Sanctuary holds a very special place in my heart because kh2 was the first game in the series I played and I played it during my formative year. This cover takes me right back to those days. Amazing work!
Same!
Same same same. Lol
KHII has a special place in Alot of ppls hearts. So much Nostalgia in this. Props to the vocalist too. Has a nice Kool voice.
It was my 1st game of the series 2
Fun fact: I'm actually brazilian, so when I played 4 the 1st time KH2 I didn't understand nothin lol XD
Likewise. Roxas has never left my heart. The game left such a profound impression upon me...
(@@PedroHGoes-ix9oe) wait for real?
This is really good the singer is really impressive
:)

The other guy needs more affection than you know,you know
@@jellyAn6930 haha
@@jellyAn6930 LOL
Sora is in Smash Bros. Thank you
Today was an amazing day to be a KH fan!
Been in the lab with Sora and this song on repeat. Indeed a great time to be a KH fan.
Legit playing the game with this playing rn, sad this didn't make the game but we got this cover.
Some people did not like that Sora got in smash.Think about it.They were mad that one of the biggest crossover character got accepted in one of the biggest crossover games ever.
I still can't believe they let that happen even though Sora is a PlayStation character oh yeah that's cool matter fact Sora is over colorful
Lyrics
In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
I need more affection than you know
My sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music will tie
I need more affection than you know
What's left of me what's left of me now
I watch you fast asleep
All I fear means nothing
In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
I need more affection than you know
My sanctuary my sanctuary yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music will tie
I need more affection than you know
What's left of me what's left of me
so many ups and downs
My heart's a battleground
I need true emotion
I need more affection than you know
I need true emotion
You show me how to see
That nothing is whole and nothing is broken
In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
I need more affection than you know
My sanctuary my sanctuary yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music will tie
I need more affection than you know
What's left of me what's left of me now
My fears my lies
Melt away
Melt away
それあれが the real MVP!!!
I always thought it was: "Memories will die" but it seems it wasn't after replaying the song so many years later
I always thought it was music inside
Thank you!
It's hilarious when you tell someone this is a Disney song.
I just want to say you guys absolutely killed this. Blows my mind every time I watch it. So glad I found this performance.
Thanks! We have new music coming very soon. Hope you'll check it out 🤘🏻
This is one of the best covers of Sanctuary I’ve seen. KH games always have an outstanding OST but KH2 has some of the best songs in the franchise
Bro. This lead singer is so talented. His vocal tone and pitch never falters or wavered once in this cover, not to mention his vibrato adlibs in the held notes he belts out are gorgeous! And he’s singing a cover for a FEMALE artist and can keep the same pitch and beautiful tone to boot is honestly astonishing. All this and also being a huge metal/rock fan, this blew my fucking mind when I heard it and I proceeded to listen to it like 10 times in a row it was so good lol. Amazing work and keep it up because this is how covers are done! Rock on! 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Thanks for the kind words!
:)
100%. Easy song to ruin, lead singer did great.
Really cool cover, guys!
Thanks!!
For a band that has so little subscribers, you deserve a ton more. This is one of my childhood favorite games and favorite song to boot, and man, let me tell you, you guys are rockin it! Keep it up!
100% they do.
They need more affection ;)
My fingers were tapping from the first note.
Judith Rosen same! :'))
Saw this in an ad suggestion, man this is so amazing!
Thanks for checking us out, glad you like it!
I usually get garbage ads wtf??
Omg. Please don't judge me, but I had no idea this was a cover. I came across the song on my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify, and I am O B S E S S E D. Such a good song. Thank you so much for making this and sharing to with the world. I've also taken a listen to Dusk's other songs on Spotify.. you have a new fan!!
Wow, thank you! We have more new music coming very soon
If you have already found/listened to the original Sanctuary song, then please disregard this comment, for I may have misread your message.
Here's the links to the original song variants:
English Vocals: ruclips.net/video/rgCSgNakvlo/видео.html
Japanese Vocals: ruclips.net/video/fGjFauNjiFE/видео.html
(Same singer, which is rare)
Also, love Dusk's cover too. It's got a near-identical energy to the original song!
I can't believe my recommended feed actually did right by me for once. This was incredible!!
Right if only it recommended this when he was posting so we could support emq
I don’t know how these guys don’t have over a million subscribers because this one of THE BEST rock covers of sanctuary I’ve ever heard. Keep up the amazing work
You guys are so freakin' talented. Everything about this is so polished, meticulously arranged, and carefully executed--and production is gorgeous/immaculate. Thanks for sharing your gifts. ~cousin Josh from MD
Thanks cousin Josh!
This. This is ridiculously good. 🤓😁
Huge fan of Utada and her music, and this song in particular, but was absolutely blown away by the cover. It really exceeded my expectations dramatically! Beautiful can’t begin to describe this. The fact that this cover doesn’t have millions of views and “likes” leaves me dumbfounded
Found this cover becausse of deebeegeek, amazing job y’all
Haven't seen that yet in his vod
I like his voice, sanctuary or passion is a hard song to do. It's the closest than others. Has the right kind of emotion. Haven't seen a female vocalist cover really pull it off
There’s tons that pull it off and do the Japanese lyrics as well as the English lyrics still having the raw emotion poured into it.
THIS IS THE SICKEST COVER!
Thanks for 150K views! New music coming sooner than you think...
Dusk I love it. That was fluffing amazing :)
Lol I found this while trying to find a music box cover, but like, not disappointed at all man. Keep up the good work.✌
@@samscenefordummies8706 Thanks! We just released our song "One of Us" last week if you want to check that out, and we've got more on the way soon!
@@docorwho1212 You're fluffing amazing! Thank you for listening
@@Duskband sorry, didnt get the notification. I was there in the live stream, believe I said something about coming there so late, so I rewatched it
We def need more from you guys this is amazing
So underrated!
Damn.. i was really skeptical at first, but when the vocal hits.. shit, what a blast!
Same mate
Me too
Why am I getting chilling early 2000s vibes from this?
Kinda late so I don't know if you have learned or not but this song is from kingdom hearts 2 which came out like 2005 I think somewhere around then. It was on the ps2
@@Gamemaster6400 oh I'm very well aware. I love the entire series. It's just they've managed to create their own sort of style
@@mortalballgt52 ah. Sorry for the mistake
See now this, THIS, is how you do a rock cover. No unnecessary double bass kicking or screamo. Finally, a truly well done cover.
Thank you!
Well, that's probably because "screamo" isn't rock. That's Metal. Keep in mind I'm not saying this is bad in any way, but you're implying that because people choose to make this song heavy, it's not well done. Just because it doesn't fit what you want, doesn't mean it's bad.
@@rebeltugFPS well said, im not big metal/screamo fan but for some reason that cover sounds so good to me, I dont know what it is, maybe its the animal inside me yelling with the song haha
AK Apex factual
@kalash to you, screamo isn’t a genre but metal core is tough
My repeat button should not be functioning right now. This was the best cover by far. Change my mind.
Right click on the video. And click loop my friend.
Favorite intro out of all kingdom hearts and the addition of rock with it just works so good
Your interpretation of this song is amazing , makes me feel like i dicover it for the first time. Can't wait to discover your new project !
Peace and love ffrom france !
I used your cover for my senior year long project. I got a very high A+ and I made half of my high school listen to it while I studied their mental response. It was amazing. Thanks guys! ❤Awesome cover deserves way more love
That’s incredible - Congrats on the A+! Thanks for sharing!
this needs few BILLION streams. This so good. Thank you 🙏🏽
first I've heard of Dusk, but will be "deep diving" into their music after this cover!
Didn't realize I needed to hear this. Thank You 😊
Man, it wasn't until this version that I truly LISTENED to this song.
This deserves more views & recognition. Very well done!
Fantastic guys. Thank you.
It´s the same aura that´s the original song produces, nice cover
Thanks for doing this cover justice you guys rock!
I love the reverses parts played forward, it really adds a cool vibe that works really well with it being covered, great job! Really enjoyed this!
This is absolutely wonderful 💖
I just want to add that this song means the world to me, so thank you so much for doing it justice. Also, found it on YT Music and I love your album art.
Thanks! We too love this song and KH so much. Getting to produce our own version of this song (album art included) was a dream come true.
This game raised me and I loved the song as soon as I heard it seeing a cover of it made me float in nostalgy
This thing is beautiful. It's such a different direction and yet so faithful to the original. I fricking love it!
Thanks! 🤘🏻
Putting the Reversed Lyrics the correct way made this song so much better
ikrr, the reverse parts were weird to me ngll
This is my favorite version of the song
This turned out amazing! In the midst of so many pains and bitter nightmares, I finally find something that gives me peace.
This is, without a doubt, the best cover of this song, ever.
Ben Burnley would be proud of you.
After all the attempts I’ve ever seen
These guys pulled it way the hell off
YES
Have been looking for a good Sanctuary cover for years. And now, after not looking for quite some time, I find this. Finally found the one cover that blows me away. Thanks for the nostalgia.
this music has ending of a beautiful game energy
beautiful.
Found this on the Kingdom Heart's Reddit page. Can't wait to check out your other songs
This came up as a reccomend on Reddit! At first I was worried about clicking the link. I faced my fears and I'm happy I did. Absolutely brilliant cover I give it a 10/10.
Thanks! Would you mind providing the Reddit link?
Holy CRAP!!! This came on in the car and I was slack jawed for minutes on end at how AWESOME this cover was! Fell in love, and am astonished at your low sub count, you guys deserve so much! Much love, amazing work!
It's hard to make a Sanctuary cover, not heaving Hutada Hikaru's voice and making it a great Song..
Good job Guya!
how on earth haven't I heard this masterpiece until now
Song randomly popped up for me, so I was like: A Rock Cover of Sanctuary? Huh. I guess I'll check it out on my lunch break.
Me, two minutes in as I power-walk to my car: "Don't cry at work... Don't cry at work... Don't cry at work..."
VERY excellently done, guys! 😀
Came here from a reddit comment, not disappointed, great instrumentation, great vocals, love it. Also, that breakdown was so dope.
Y’all did EVERYTHING 🤯
This game has my favorite opening cutscene of any game, amazing cover!
Yesssssssssssesee this is awesome you guys rock I love this song and you made it better
Highschool me would've killed for this cover! Awesome job!!
MAN! You deserve more subs! This cover is amazing, and I love it! You guys were born with true gifts!
Wow how don't you have more attention brilliant
They need more attention than you know
Yeah. Best cover online. Well done. Faithful yet uniquely suited
Know this song since the very first day of kingdom hearts. Heard it at least 1000 times! I feel ashamed I just found this version just by now! Thank you so much! You guys are sick! Going to listen to this one another 1000 times !!!
I will play this cover for as many years as i can. Thank you!
This is the best cover I've ever seen!!! Literally goosebumps all over!!

Have had this cover looping multiple times in the past two days...and I do not regret it one damn bit! You guys rock!!
Thanks! 🤘🏻
I think this song is about an iffy relationship. The person the singer refers to is touch and go with the relationship, not being as serious as our singer. And now the singer is giving them an ultimatum, give me more love, more affection, or leave
It takes on something else entirely, and it's pretty amazing actually. The word sanctuary referring to what the singer envisions it to be, a perfect balance they want to achieve. They want their sanctuary from their lover. They express that they love them and want it to work with "In you and I there is a new land" "Fears and lies melt away" "Music will tie"
But something I notice about the difference between Utada's Sanctuary and Dusk's Sanctuary is that Utada's follows a sort of hidden want for the sanctuary, the reversed "I need more affection" and "I need true emotion" are signs of what Utada wants, they don't want to speak directly to their lover, they want it to come to them on their, but also because Utada is afraid to give the ultimatum so cleanly and clearly.
But Dusk isn't, Dusk says it outright, toward their lover. They don't like feeling one-sided, and they want their partner to know that, thus the guitar and the heavier drop, as well as the fact that the words are no longer reversed. The meaning is not hidden, or in the back of the mind, it is infront of you. Presented to you.
But for all I know this is unintended and they just wanted to sing one of our favorite kingdom hearts openings. But this is what I took from it. My two cents as it were.
Those non-reversed vocals were done so fucking well. Damn this was sick 🔥🔥🔥
This gives me chills
Holy shit, you guys are great. Rock on!!
Thanks!
My Fav cover
This needs to blow up, the cover of this song is now the only version i listen to, you guys knocked this one out of the park
Omg guys you're so talented. I fucking love your cover!!
This is really fucking good, definitely had it on repeat for longer than I'm willing to admit.
All of this is so beautiful! You can feel the passion of these guys through the video, so amazing
Wow... I love this version
I found this cover through Spotify and I gotta say it's pretty good. Good job guys!

Idk how old this is, but it gave me goosebumps
YOOOOOOO!!!! dope cover of an iconic song!!! Great job!!!
Instantly had to save this on spotify. Loved this so much 🙏🏻

A far-off memory that's like a scattered dream...

Amazing cover! I can't wait to see more from you guys.
This is a great cover of Sanctuary! I hope you do covers like this for Simple and Clean, Don't Think Twice and Face My Fears as these would sound awesome in the style of this arrangement.
Thanks! A lot of love went into this. We're all massive fans of the KH series.
@@Duskband No problem! It's great to see Kingdom Hearts fans creating such awesome covers and music.
