Avatar Soundtrack - Leaves from the Vine

[mikerules999]

Leaves from the vine,Falling so slow Like fragile tiny shells Drifting in the foam. Little soldier boy Come marching home. Brave soldier boy Comes marching home. Those leaves did grow From branches overgrown. Drifting slowly down, Resting on the foam. Little soldier boy Taken from home, Forced to fight a war That's not his own. Leaves from the vine, Falling so slow Like fragile tiny shells Drifting in the foam. Little soldier boy says, "Carry me home". Sleeping soldier boy Is carried home.

Leaves from the vine

Falling so slow

Like fragile tiny shells

Drifting in the foam

Little soldier boy

Come marching home

Brave soldier boy

Comes marching home...

[mckinleyspartan]

the people who disliked this are idiots

[KBROCK3R]

Azula and Ozai dislike this.

[KBROCK3R]

Mako made Iroh such an awesome character! The newer voice actor is decent, but it's just not the same. He runs his words together to much. And it is Mako in "Tale of Iroh." It's the last episode he recoded before he was taken from us. This song gives me the chills.

R.I.P. Mako ~ I hope you're enjoying heaven.

[TheDominator152]

If you disliked this u have no heart and im a pretty fucked up person

[EmilyTheCartoonLover]

poor iroh :'(

[DPoilSPILL]

I don't think any animated series quite impacted me as much as Avatar did. Hell, I don't think any form of art has. I've been shaken to tears more than one time by this series, whether it be tears of awe, tears of sadness or tears of laughter. This is probably the greatest show that has existed, and ever will exist.

[MrThun6er]

After this song I have to go listen to Hurt by Johnny Cash.

[thedylsta]

Chills



[acealexander702]

Azula disliked this video.... :(

[drholyshitful]

this is the saddest song because

1. all of us have a passed away relative that we think of

2.the instrument just fits it

3.the lyrics are very depressing

and also has anyone noticed that the song iroh sings are about death?

"leaves from the vine, falling so slow"=people from the family tree, dying so slow

[acealexander702]

Iroh was the coolest dude in the whole show.... RIP Mako

[mncovill]

Damn it, I'm tearing up just listening to this.

[dblockknox]

i cried when i first saw this episode and I am a 20 year old young man :( this episode always gets me. I love this cartoon.

[Quadraxis]

I reaaally like how the voice actor put so much emotion into this and let me tell you, finding a passionate voice actor in america is as difficult as finding bad beer in Germany.

[brandon007mccauley]

is there a full like 2:50 long song?

[UrbanSands]

Is it bone? Foam? Or snow? "like tiny fragile shells. Drifting in the...

[tokazakime]

@UrbanSands foam

[GenghisEMO]

This song made me cry.

The series ended I cried

Zuko sees his uncle in jail, Iroh says nothing I cried.

Iroh took Ba Sing Se, i smiled.

He took the walled city. No for the fire nation, but for the Earth benders and for the world. I wish the Battle to re-take Ba Sing Se were a whole episode. Since all the Lotus Masters are BADASS, Specially Iroh and the King of Omashu.

[AngrypunkNaysayer]

@GenghisEMO ya

[abcdefg5347]

This song represents this entire series for me... I watched it for a good portion of my childhood, and then it ended, but I still think about it, and this song plays in my head.

Since then a ton of things have happened to me, and I can actually feel and understand this song better then I did before.

[RiuTheNinja]

I think everyone starts to cry around 0:43.

[AngrypunkNaysayer]

@RiuTheNinja that made me laugh so hard ( what part of the song ) i was thinking and its mid pout lolololololo , i was expecting ( leaves from the vine )

[AngrypunkNaysayer]

@RiuTheNinja lol!

[Rlaxox]

this allmost makes me cry

[BLADEx641]

>Heres Iroh talking... This is pretty sad

>Heres Iroh singing... I think I'm about to cry

>Heres 0:43... I just can't hold it these tears anymore!!!

>Gets to the end... tears... and no shame to admit it!

[RiuTheNinja]

"Leaves from the vine.. Falling so slow.. like fragile tiny shells, drifting in the snow.. little soldier boy, come marching home... braaaave soldier boy.. comes marching hoomeee..."

[AnUsernameee]

That feel...

[antiblondie]

This always makes me cry..

[AZn5t0n3R]

@antiblondie I know right. So deep for a kids show.

[antiblondie]

@AZn5t0n3R agreed

[VegetenksSsj2]

Sad part.

[JeffHardy6236]

they need to make a longer version of this with him

[talkinbreazy]

I hate and I love how this song makes me cry every single time I listen to it.

[drjadco]

Iroh is my favorite character in this and any series.

[hollyhock18x7]

Wanting to play this song was one of the reasons I learned guitar.

[golfyboy]

@hollyhock18x7 You need a Pipa instead

[hollyhock18x7]

@golfyboy guitar works alright too. if i had my way i'd also have a pipa and a ukelele and a mandolin. but i don't, so i improvise.

[intotheazzure23]

Y-Y

Literally crying...

[SurumiKotori]

Rest in peace, Mako. TT_TT

[TheRudio2011]

@deatheaater999 Well screw you,the show was great.Shows like this and animes actually bring more real life emotions and cruelty then real Hollywood movies who soften everything up.They show the pain war brings,the ideals people have,the good and the bad.I watch Hollywood movies and South Park too,they are fun and all but they are lacking in depth,and they are worried some movies will butthurt ppl too much,so they ban,censor or move some movies to after midnight so little people can see them.

[TheDest900]

I love this song when I heard it in the episode I started crying. very beautiful! (sorry for spelling fails)

[MissMaggieDynamo]

This makes me tearbend. But seriously this is so heartbreaking .

[munchmaster12]

I hope the music in Korra will be as moving and meaningful as it was in the original

[pugswanthugs123]

lol and when I say Mako I mean Liu Ten... lol sorry im embarrassed

[pugswanthugs123]

You guys are forgetting that the Death of Mako made Iroh like this. Before Mako was killed, Iroh was the Dragon of the West, remember? He was just like Iroh, but Mako's death softened him, and Iroh helped Zuko in Honor of Mako.

So out of Iroh's sorrow over Mako, emerged his second son, loved just as greatly, Zuko.

[MrIcedLatte]

Lets get this straight, because many seem to be confused: Mako (Makoto Iwamatsu) is the voice actor of Iroh in the first book, and the second book until the tales of ba-sing-se (it might have been the rest of book 2, also. Im not sure). I believe he died of throat cancer on July 21, 2006. The son of Iroh is named Lu Ten, who died it war.

Iroh was then voiced by Greg Baldwin for the remainder of the series.

The "In honor of Mako" was honoring the death of Makoto, not Lu Ten.

[Henqie]

@MrIcedLatte Ow thanks man I never even noticed it... this makes it even more sad Thanks

[MrThun6er]

@MrIcedLatte The last episode he voiced was "The Awakening" Episode 1 season 3. However he passed about 6 months before it aired.

[pophits]

@MrIcedLatte

Basically, yeah. Except that Mako voiced the rest of season 2 rather than just until Tales of Ba Sing Sei. They displayed the message "In Honor of Mako" at the end of Iroh's tale because he died near the time the episode aired. Either way, he is greatly missed.

[corncornrocks]

@MrIcedLatte he was iroh in all of book 2

[TheUnknownWarrior000]

R.I.P. Mako Iwamatsu you will be missed severely i did not know you personally but i admired your work in some movies and just know that you will be missed a lot by your family, friends, and fellow actors and actresses. You are in a better place now.

[MiasmaResonance]

;______;

[happyLILwierdo]

Mako...you will always live in our hearts.

[Rikusgirl1]

R.I.P. Mako... we all miss you

[MikeDC28]

my friend just left the country to move to switzerland and another friend of mine shared his leaving with this song on facebook. I never watch Avatar but this song made me cry.

[southparkdudz]

im not cry i got something in my eye. :'(

[Jackalofdeath]

@southparkdudz you watch southpark, you dont deserve to watch avatar, go back to shit and piss jokes, its more for you

[southparkdudz]

@Jackalofdeath hey buddy fuck you i like this show ok, i like it alot more than southpark ok. its just my name you fucking troll if theres anybody who dosent desrive to watch this show its you.

[phoenix5004]

R.I.P Mako

[qscplmyhb]

R.I.P. Mako. You made Iroh who he is, and although you couldn't win the vicious war of cancer, you will always be remembered through this song.

[TheChris9521]

this how you know this is a great show if you feel sad for a character that isn't even the main character

[thayoneguy242]

There is something truly sad when we find a character who is known for always being jolly, kind, and funny. Then we discover that he harbors a pain that is one of the worst a person can feel. I always feel like crying when I hear this

[MarinePrk]

RIP Mako, u were a great voice actor for Iroh/ Uncle...

[CommissarJaeger]

I would have to agree with AllyAlly1620 in that Iroh wasn't the wise sensei we knew during the wars and he may have gone down a darker path if his son hadn't died, but much of the sadness in the world is caused by humanity's violence and evil done to itself. As for the song, it always makes tears well up in my eyes and I pray that Mako may rest in peace.

[phoenix5004]

R.I.P Mako

[balmoraman]

Iroh...Mako...Rst in peace. *sobs uncontrollably*

[ramprire]

Happy..birthday... *sniff*

[destin881]

this song always makes me sad

[adventchildren73]

I know this is just a cartoon, but this really really gets to me. Uncle Iroh is probably one of the wisest people ever. He never asked for any of this. D:

[firebirdcas]

A man's history makes a man.....

If Iroh's son didnt die, Iroh wouldn't be the person he was.

Don't forget that Iroh was a proud general of the firenation eager to take Ba Sing Se

[acquineus]

@firebirdcas thats only partly true, there was the concept of the dragons. he faked killing them so they would not die out, so he was not heartless. also he was a member of the white lotus or something. i think iroh was the only true fire-bender. Zuko became one through Iroh's training and guidance, and his torment. if Iroh became the fire lord he would have returned them to the way they should have been.

[firebirdcas]

@acquineus Don't forget the general from the episode "the deserter", Also a white lotus member

[DrGarlic500]

@firebirdcas That might be true, but remember, Iroh spared the last of the dragons before his son had died.

He was always a good man, just like Zuko, he had good in him from the start.

[xodaraPxFc]

Can some one tell me the name of the instrument Iroh is playing? Thanks!

[Juliaaa1108]

:( so cute

[lucyvasnormandy]

I cry every time I hear this :(

[AllyAlly1620]

I swear to god if ONE MORE PERSON COMMENTS ON MY SEVEN MONTH OLD COMMENT, I'M GOING TO BE SENT TO A MENTAL INSTITUTION. STOP COMMENTING ON IT!

[TheRiolu2lucario]

The makers of avatar made this song for Mako.... when he died of cancer in 2006. poor Mako....

[sashaslepoy]

I cried for the rest of the day when this happened.

[Kyore000]

So long as there will be war, sad songs like this will always be sung. Consider that and please consider taking action to the government repeal the Selective Service System - I don't want my mom and my dad to have to cry while singing this one day.

[621Chopsuey]

RIP Mako 1933 - 2006

[DATDieAnderTier]

很好地完成

[sannsikk]

such is the tragedy of war, the wise and gentle must mourn the losses of those close to them. if only the world would take a lesson from this simple song

[REfan1]

@sannsikk Sad to say, war is an inevitability, no matter how much we wish it wasn't...

[sargen23456]

我不难过，因为这个令人沮丧的歌曲

[100MFJOSH]

Check out my hiphop remix/sample of this song on my channel.

[AllyAlly1620]

This makes me cry every time, Iroh didn't deserve this. His son shouldn't have died. He is the kindest and most caring person in the whole Fire Nation! He didn't deserve it.

[prothoraxe]

@AllyAlly1620 He was attacking the Earth Kingdom and trying to conquer it, he wasn't so nice before his son died, which is what made him change into the man we know him as.

[AllyAlly1620]

@prothoraxe I see. [Hasn't watched every episode] I have a long way to go before I watch the whole show.

[ShorinRyu74]

@AllyAlly1620 You don't really understand, his son had to die or iroh wouldn't be the person he is. He was invading ba sing se and he only stopped that because his son died. Do you get that? He was invading and killing a huge city of people and it likely wasn't his first campaign either. His son's death made him see what he was really doing.

[RayJohnsonsMyHero]

@AllyAlly1620 Iroh was a not so good person when he was a general attacking the earth kingdom.. if it wasnt for his sons death he would have had this realization for a greater person.. and zuko would have been on his own.. not saying that iroh isnt the best character ever created in the history of ANYHTING.. because he truely is.

[commentatoronly]

@AllyAlly1620

if only one of the evil ones died

[roguegamer902]

@AllyAlly1620 he's a saint

[kadinscido]

@AllyAlly1620 no he did deserve it he was a villain and then his defeat and eventual loss of his son taught him humiity and turned him good although aang may be the true main hero if he hadnt realized the error of his ways the world wouldnt have reached peace as it did

[mckenziebro619]

@AllyAlly1620 He needed it to learn about himself more.

[Cory22isinthehouse]

@AllyAlly1620 commenting on your 7 month old comment, you mad bro ?

[AllyAlly1620]

@Cory22isinthehouse Cool story, bro. Tell it again.

[PablosLPs]

@AllyAlly1620 I know he doesn't deserve his son dying, but that's what war does, and i feel like this show was trying to get that across.

[KisaSohmaCookie]

@AllyAlly1620 very true, but if you remember, iroh was also a great general, and though he wasnt malicious, he took pride in taking over other countries for the fire nation. it's sad, but i think if his son hadn't have been killed, iroh wouldnt be the person we know and love from the cartoon. I think his son's death made him appreciate the little things in life, and that its more important to enjoy yourself than fight with others

[darthroden]

@KisaSohmaCookie It's a hard lesson to learn.

I often wonder how he changed, how he found Rand and Chaw, how he walked with the Spirits, and how he became a Lotus Master of the Order? A lot was left unanswered about the time between his attempt to conquer Ba Sing Se to going into exile with Zuko.

[HORSEZOX]

@AllyAlly1620 yes but i think it was because of his sons death that it shaped iroh to be an even better person. still yes he didnt deserve it. but i woudnt have changed the story since its so meaningful and is the reason why iroh loves zuko so much as he see's him as his own son :'(

[Aave4ajaja]

@AllyAlly1620 agreed , but wasnt Iroh evil before his son died? and what was his son's name Luten?

[darkshadow2341]

@AllyAlly1620 the inocent get punished while the guilty walk free :'-(

[VulgarIniquities]

@AllyAlly1620

everything happens for a reason, no matter how sad. RIP Mako :( if he had lived, i know he would have been just like Iroh

[ephrayimlevi]

@AllyAlly1620 had Mako lived, imagine the man he would have continued to grow and become living off of his fathers wisdom. He'd be the ideal example of what man should be :O

[WiiMan373]

@ephrayimlevi I always believed that it was the death of his son that woke him up and realized what the fire nation was doing and that was most of the reason he quit fighting in the war.

[PinoyDragon88]

@ephrayimlevi uuummmmm Mako isn't Iroh's son...... Mako was the first voice actor for Iroh, this part of the episode was dedicated to him. Mako was already a great man when he passed away from cancer (T_T)

[ephrayimlevi]

@PinoyDragon88 well........I feel stupid! I didnt know he died. Now I'm sad and feel blond -_-

[NikkiLahves1]

@AllyAlly1620 but isnt it cuzzz his son died that he became more compassionate? or am i wrong... i thought that was it. but yeah no one deserves to hav their child die before them :(

[MISSmuesli]

Lu Teng :( armer Iroh ^^ aber das Lied gefällt mir auf Deutsch und Englisch. Als er das, das erste mal gesungen hat musste ich weinen xD mittlerweile nich mehr aber damals schon ;D
