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.

[Thedude]

If you play sanctuary backwards it says "I need more affection than you know", and they included it as lyrics in this cover!

[brsaes]

In todays episode of: "Things I didnt know I wanted and now I cant live without"

[liverock]

See now this, THIS, is how you do a rock cover. No unnecessary double bass kicking or screamo. Finally, a truly well done cover.

[sisterelizee]

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.

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

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!

[xaeb]

This is really good the singer is really impressive

[shawnyaley]

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! 🤟🏻🤟🏻

[averageplayers]

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

[fletchernotwilliam]

I just want to say you guys absolutely killed this. Blows my mind every time I watch it. So glad I found this performance.

[coffeepandacat]

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

[Duskband]

Thanks for 150K views! New music coming sooner than you think...

[NoName-npow]

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!

[DannyWhitemusic]

How am I just finding this??? THIS IS AMAZING

[bluewriter]

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

[fkznalaulyrics]

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!!

[ultima]

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

[OneShotWeeb]

I can't believe my recommended feed actually did right by me for once. This was incredible!!

[drubear]

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
