kingdom hearts orchestra 2019 Destati

composed by Yoko Shimomura with orchestral music arranged by Kaoru Wada

[Trogadorsaysay]

"I've said this several times already, but Destati was the very first song I've written for Kingdom Hearts. From concert performances to arranged versions and recorded soundtracks, Destati only saw its way into a game when the full version was released as a song for KH: Melody of Memory."
--Yoko Shimomura

This is the best arrangement of Duel of the Fates

[MythicMachina]

Still wild to me that this song was considered cursed, casuing issues everytime they tried to load part of it into something. The worst being entire power outages in the Square offices. But yet, desipte, everything, they kept using it.

[Watching_the_World_Burning]

The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction.

The power of the mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin.

The power of the guardian. Kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel all.

Which is the power you seek?

[CaliopeCalia]

I still can't believe I saw this live two years ago. I'll admit I got serious chills and almost teared up from the intensity of the performance. Very lucky to be there

Yoko Shimomura is so good that she composed a song that's literally Duel of the Fates x the Nazgul Theme from LoTR

[Fork_a_lore]

Hands down BY FAR the best version of Destati ever composed imo, both 2:01 and 2:53 are my most favourite part of the music

[TunaScroll]

2:01 Oh man that part always gives me chills no matter what version it is.

[en_pitsuu]

this song is literally just heavenly. even after hearing this song and this arrangement of it hundreds of times, I still get goosebumps, and that shit just doesn’t happen to me. This is a masterpiece.

Destati!
Tendi la mano!

È giunta l'ora,
Destati
Le porte verranno schiuse
Destati, Destati, Destati

Su rimembra tu trepida!
Su sveglia! Ehi ricorda!

Destati! Destati!
Forza, tendi la mano!
Destati! Destati!
È giunta l'ora!

E ancora una volta
Apriranno le porte!

Su rimembra tu trepida!
Su sveglia! Ehi ricorda!

Eh? Come? Non lo vuoi!?
Tuttavia t'appartiene
Ciò che hai perduto
Diventerà uno solo!

I went to the concert in Tokyo but was unable to buy a CD due to time constraints and not wanting to deal with the lines. This was definitely one of the best pieces they performed if not the best one. Thanks for the upload!

[aozorahaou]

This is appropriate for Sora making it to Smash Bros.

[megaable]

Thanks, I love this. I went to the orchestra world tour in Mexico during the second round and this track blew my mind. By far my favorite Kingdom Hearts music ever

[regyssilva]

KH soundtrack is the most precious jewel of the World. Amazing songs!!

[johnathanmaultsby]

When the tambourine starts i stg something in my body cant stay still listening to this bangerr!!!

[ScaredyOwl]

Hands down the best version of Destati I've ever listened to

[jayfiggs]

"Watch Out!" -Goofy before dying for like the 800th time.

[LoiValdes]

This has always been for me the actual Kingdom Hearts main theme, not dearly beloved or Simple and Clean

Its motif is everywhere and it still surprises me that Shimomura decided to go with something so bombastic and epic for what initially was a simple Disney game

[idkany]

The very first song we heard when this masterpiece of a series was first revealed to the public.

[indedgames]

I like to think this is the theme of Darkness, the true antagonist of the series
