This is a music animation video of the Piano Tribute Player’s cover of How to Save a Life, which is a song originally by The Fray. I started to make a Synthesia video, but there are tons of those videos for this one song already on YouTube. A LOT of effort went into transcribing this in order to make it as accurate as possible, but it was a labor of love… Feel free to make the music your own. Use the sheet music as a guide not as a strict document to be followed.

The Piano Tribute Players made this cover arrangement but did not make sheet music for it, so I transcribed it using Finale and a program called Transcribe.

Vector to the Heavens is played during the final battle against Xion in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days. I looked everywhere for an original score of this song, but mostly all I found were variations on Noah Thys arrangement.
I know this isnt a perfect transcription. Without the midi I found of it, the video wouldn’t even exist. It sounds roughly close to the original, and I did manage to compose an ending for it.
Feel free to make edits in the sheet music. Some of the notes in the piano parts can be omitted or changed to make it easier to play…
Here is the midi I transcribed from (thank you whoever made or got this from the game somehow!!!):

To make this I used-
Yamaha YPG535 piano
Finale 2014
Midi of Vector to the Heavens
Synthesia (to make a mp4 piano video of each of the midi parts. I then opened each mp4 video in Transcribe! I also tried importing the midi I was transcribed from in Finale but the result ended up being a mess)
