Simple and Clean (Kingdom Hearts) - Mree Cover

Kingdom Hearts was one of my absolute favorite games growing up. Thought it was about time I summoned up the courage and put my own twist on Utada Hikari's "Simple and Clean" (and sing in Japanese?? - lol my apologies for the mispronunciations!) Hope to have done it justice for all my fellow KH fans.

Recorded, Produced and Filmed by Mree

"Simple and Clean" and "Hikari" originally performed and written by Hikaru Utada
Published by Walt Disney Music Company

the bass drops, she sings the reprise in Japanese. OH MY HEART

[cdm]

I just want to let you know, that while i was in prison, my buddy had this song on his tablet, and it helped me get through a hard time in my life & help me get on track, even though the song had nothing to do with what i had going on but it helped me to stay relaxed. And i thank you for that.

[colinsmith]

You got my daughter to go back to sleep.
BLESS YOU, YOU MAGNIFICENT HUMAN BEING.

[VVinterlear]

Yo its been nine years and this is still the best cover of this song imo

[shail]

You're giving me too many things
Lately, you're all I need
You smiled at me and said
"Don't get me wrong, I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?"
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said
"No, I don't think life is quite that simple”

When you walk away
You don't hear me say
"Please, oh baby, don't go."
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

The daily things that keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said
"Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?"
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple

Donna toki datte zutto futari de
Donna toki datte soba ni iru kara
Kimi to iu hikari ga watashi wo mitsukeru
Mayonaka ni

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Terebi keshite watashi no koto dake wo
Miteite yo

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

No comments in 4 years is a crime. I’ll never get sick of this cover! Where is my 2024 gang?

[allysonespiritu]

My fiance and I are using your version for our first dance at our Kingdom Hearts themed wedding. Thank you for creating such a beautiful cover!

[mayhema]

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

[ToadieKito]

Oh my goodness. This is the best version I've ever heard of this song.

[IWasWatching]

How, how come I have not seen this until now. 3 years is too damn long.

[doommanx]

As a studio musician... This is freaking astonishing! What an amazing rendition of a song that I didn't think that could get better.

[TypetwoAbsolute]

Really impressive, especially since she was being attacking periodically by ghost images of herself on the sides of the screen

[emym.]

I love the part around 2:30 when you almost believe she'll go with a louder voice, and instead she comes back to a whisper... It sounds so pure. Your voice is beautiful and full of emotions, thank you.

[vaaara]

You know what? This is probably the most elegant cover I've ever had the delight pleasure of stumbling across.

[edsheeranandcoffee]

This is so beautiful. You can tell SO much emotion was put into this. I've been playing KH since I was like 6 and I always liked this song. Never gave too much thought to it though. But when I heard your version of it it was like I suddenly understood the meaning of the lyrics.

[Flipp]

Still listining to this in 2023. Love her voice. So soothing.

[seifakku._]

Mree, you seriously are a gift to the world. Please never stop, I will always show you love and support!

[ashleylauren]

OH WOW. I had so many goosebumps. And THEN YOU STARTED SINGING JAPANESE, oh my word. It was visually appealing with the layout and editing too! This is so wonderful I really hope that you go places with your singing <3 <3 <3 Best cover I have ever seen!

[guilhermegomes]

I can't describle how incredible this version is!
You. Are. Awesome.

[clarkkent]

My poor heart was not ready for this cover, I had to listen to it in portions. Whoever disliked this should be ashamed of themselves.
