Sanctuary

Lyrics:
In you and I, there's a new land,
Angels in flight,
{I need more affection than you know}
My sanctuary, my sanctuary,
Where fears and lies melt away,
Music in time,
{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,
Where fears and lies melt away,
Music in time,
{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 emotions}
{I need more affection than you know}
{I need true emotions}

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,
Where fears and lies melt away,
Music in time,
{I need more affection than you know}
What's left of me,
What's left of me now?

My fears, my lies..
Melt away

{I need more affection than you know}

God i want this cd so bad...

[crybos]

This CD is amazing.  Piano versions of the more popular KH songs is just pure win.

[Kas]

Utada is actually pretty good, however if I think about KH I don't think about Utada but Yoko Shimomura.
I like her pieces more; 'Dearly Beloved'.

Interview with Yoko Shimomura (September 2009)
source: SEMO

Interview Team: Talking of the piano, the Kingdom Hearts Piano Collections were released recently. What was your mindset while creating this album? If Drammatica was intended as a summary of your musical creations, what is the meaning and reason behind these piano pieces?
Yoko Shimomura: It was the first time that Square Enix allowed the release of a piano album that wasn't connected to the Final Fantasy franchise. You're probably used to the Final Fantasy piano albums, which used to be released after nearly every official Final Fantasy soundtrack. There were many piano arrangements of Kingdom Hearts, and I got many emails from fans — requests to consider releasing a piano collection featuring Kingdom Hearts tracks. Music producers from Square Enix also pushed for such a collection, and this is how this idea was born.
