• Comments: Ahh... My second video in the "How-The-Crap-Did-That-Actually-Work" category.
  
  I was actually planning on doing something completely different with this song and Kingdom Hearts, but when I trying to come up with more ideas for scenes, something inside me said to just play it with the opening of KHII and see if I got any ideas that way. It was then that I realized that the song has an awesome little explosion of music near the beginning, so I decided to sync that up with Sora jumping into nothing. That was all I synced, I swear. Next thing I knew, I had to put them together that way completely, because it just fit so perfectly. I also know now that any other video I tried to make using this song would pale in comparison, so I'm not even going to try. If anyone else wants to, they're welcome to it, but this combination just spoke to my heart too much. It practically sums up what I believe Kingdom Hearts II to be about.
  
  Here are the lyrics as well, in case anybody wanted them. Included are the people I envisioned singing them (by the way, I did change the end of one line because it fit better and it still sounds like he's singing those lyrics instead. See if you can tell where it is. o_- ).
  
  "Used To" by Daughtry
  
  KAIRI: You used to talk to me like
  I was the only one around.
  RIKU: You used to lean on me.
  The only other choice was falling down.
  SORA: You used to walk with me like
  We had nowhere we needed to go,
  Nice and slow, to no place in particular.
  
  ALL: We used to have this figured out;
  We used to breathe without a doubt.
  SORA: When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
  ALL: We used to have this under control.
  We never thought.
  We used to know.
  RIKU: At least there's you, and at least there's me.
  ALL: Can we get this back?
  Can we get this back
  To how it used to be?
  
  RIKU: I used to reach for you when
  I got lost along the way.
  SORA: I used to listen.
  You always had just the right thing to say.
  I used to follow you.
  Never really cared where we would go,
  ALL: Fast or slow, to anywhere in our hearts.
  
  We used to have this figured out;
  We used to breathe without a doubt.
  KAIRI: When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
  ALL (or SORA): We used to have this under control.
  We never thought.
  We used to know.
  KAIRI: At least there's you, and at least there's me.
  ALL: Can we get this back?
  Can we get this back to how it used to be?
  
  KAIRI: I look around me,
  And I want you to be there
  'Cause I miss the things that we shared.
  Look around you.
  It's empty, and you're sad
  'Cause you miss the love that we had.
  
  RIKU: You used to talk to me like
  I was the only one around,
  SORA: The only one around.
  
  SORA and RIKU: We used to have this figured out;
  We used to breathe without a doubt.
  RIKU: When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
  ALL: We used to have this under control.
  We never thought.
  We used to know.
  SORA: At least there's you, and at least there's me.
  Can we get this back?
  ALL: Can we get this back to how it used to be? Yeah.
  NAMINÉ: To how it used to be….
  SORA: To how it used to be, yeah.
  To how it used to be.
  NAMINÉ: To how it used to be.
