... of "sanctuary"

With the release of Hikki's "Sanctuary", the English version of "Passion", Kingdom Hearts 2 is finally released.

Apparently, she wrote "Sanctuary" first, before translating into Japanese. The translating was difficult, but hey, she pulled it off and produced "Passion" for the Japanese market.

There are differences between "Passion" and "Sanctuary", one clear distinction being an bass-ic electric scratch cut-in before the last chorus. The overall feel by that cut-in changes the mood of the song. While "Passion" excels in lyrics and inspirational mood, "Sanctuary" is also fitting to Kingdom Hearts in a more serious look, more fitting for the game of battle. But I'll have to play the game first before knowing if it really does fit the game though.
