Avatar: The Last Airbender is an absolutely incredible show and Leaves From The Vine is guaranteed to make you cry every single time. The reason I never really considered it for a piano cover is due its simplicity. It's just four bars and two chords. So to expand it, I added quite a bit of variations and some additional chord progression that goes beyond what you hear in the show. It's definitely meant to be ear candy.

The real-life story surrounding this song is quite touching. Season 2, Episode 15 "The Tales of Ba Sing Se" was Mako Iwamatsu's (Iroh's Voice Actor's) last episode, as he had been diagnosed with esophageal cancer and passed a few weeks after the recording. Because the episode was yet to be animated and aired at the time of his passing, the studio wanted to do something in memoriam to him. The picture of Lu Ten is actually Mako when he was younger, only edited to fit the plot. The song "Leaves From the Vine" was dedicated to Mako's military service, as he was also a soldier. Because the song was the last lines Mako would read/sing for the series, Greg Baldwin - the man who took over voicing Iroh - refuses to sing it to fans at Meet and Greet's out of respect, as he says, "That's Mako's song".
Okay I knew this but it still made me tear up reading it anyways đ
Thank you for enlightening us.
I never knew this, thank you for telling me this sad and beautiful story. đąâ„ïž Reading this got me crying now. I hope he's doing wellđâ„ïž

Thank you Bobđ„ș
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
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 loam.
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.
Little soldier boy, thought he could soar,
Brave soldier boy, died in the war
Little soldier boy, thought he could soar,
Brave soldier boy, died in the war
Angelic Dragon1990 nicely done
Little soldier boy, thought he could soar
Brave soldier boy, died in the war
How does a piano cover of a song that is only sung like once in a series from over a decade ago able to so utterly mess me up?
So true though, crying like a wee lad that just lost a dog.
@@lyonelharkness818 Bro same
It was not just a song of a character saying goodbye to his son... It was the voice actor Mako saying goodbye to us all before cancer took him...
You sir have a heart, you have empathy, and most importantly you have a kind soul.
Probably because it was sung just once. It has way more weight than if it was sung multiple times in the series.
"Leaves from the vine
Falling so slow

Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy
Come marching home
Brave soldier boy
Comes marching home"
In honor of Mako
Thank you so much I couldnât understand foam
I burst into tears every time I hear, or read "Little soldier boy".
I've survived cancer myself, was declared cancer-free earlier this year. And I can tell that, living with the facts aren't actually as bad as most people think. It's all a way of life, and you make the most of it. You sort of get used to it, in a way.
But receiving the confirmation, and sharing it with my parents. I can't describe the experience, there are just no words for it. No person should have to live through that.
Rest in Peace Mako, I wish your loved once the best!

Little soldier boy
*Uncle Iroh* : 'Happy Birthday my Son. If only I could have helped you...'
He says this after spending the entire day helping the citizens of the City he lost his Son to. One of the many reasons why fans of the show, including myself, love Uncle Iroh.
But he technically was attacking them
@@ahmadsqallihoussaini6008 How was he attacking them?
@@danielreusch3801 The original comment was talking about him helping people not attacking them
Beautiful
@@loganbrien7856 Iroh originally led the attack on Ba Sing Se, but lost his son during the attack. The irony is that Iroh spent the entire day helping out the people of Ba Sing Se before mourning his son.
The original comment was talking about him helping people, but I believe Ahmad was saying "his Son was lost to Ba Sing Se, but technically his Son was the one attacking it."
When Zuko enters Iroh's tent in book 3 asking for forgiveness only to be embraced and forgiven he's the brave soldier boy marching home..
Bastard, now I'm crying.
But, I'm happy, because the brave soldier boy, finally, come to home...
STOP DONT MAKE ME CRY AGAIN
Fuckkkk mannn stopp đđđ
Why must you
đšđ»âđŠ°
Hurt me in this way
đđđđđđđđđđđđ
Iroh is probably the best character in Avatar IMO
True
Heâs not just the best in your opinion heâs the best in everyones opinion.0
probably? THE BEST CHARACTER!
The best character in probably animated history
He's the best uncle!
"To General Iroh,
See you after we win the war.
Your loyal son,
Lu Ten."
For all of the little soldier boys and girls who didn't come marching home.
Rest in piece man.
Is it bad that this comment hut a little hard??? Makes me think if my step brother. He wasn't in the army or anything like that. But he was murdered last year. And I never got to say goodbye to him.
Kaitie Marie oh my god, may he rest in peace. iâm so sorry.
@@Nexus_KT that's rough buddy
The Boys uh, a little uncalled for
"I am a grown man i can do this"

*cries like a baby*
I'm glad I'm not the only one
Itâs okay to cry... itâs a part of life...
*wipes tear*
"In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength." - Iroh
It's gonna be okay, I won't cry...0:05 MAY THE GOOSEBUMPS QUAKE YO SOUL!
âIf you look for the light, you can often find it.
But if you look for the dark, that is all you will ever see.â - Iroh.

Yes, Rest in peace
*Rest in peace.*
*Hope you'd have already found comfort.*
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I hope your son is resting peacefully and that you are feeling good
I uncontrollably sob at this song, I could not imagine losing a child and hearing it.
Iâm so sorry for your loss.
I realize how lucky I am that my grandpa was able to come marching home, to all the soldiers who did not come marching home may you all Rest In Peace
My pawpaw passed :(

Those words always hit hard.
They sure do
It hited me from ur commentđ
No doubt those words hit harder when you hear them while listening to the video.
In honor of Mako...
Yes in deed
Whos mako?
The og voice actor for uncle iroh
@@parkernerd3080 omg Onkel iroh. The wisdom in person
@@joshko9946 The OG voice actor for General Iroh passed away in the middle of book 2 I think, that's why Iroh stopped appearing with voice lines until towards the end. His replacement I admit was amazing, and did SUCH a good job, but....Mako......Mako...fuck man.
Cartoon: *Uncle Iroh saying goodbye to Mako*
Reality: *Mako saying goodbye to everyone*
What, iroh was saying goodbye to Lu Ten in the cartoons
@@deon1132 ..
@@deon1132 the picture of luten is mako in his millotary uniform and made it to fit the plot
Uncle Iroh is the example of someone
helping other people, healing other people,
to heal himself.
Sometimes the only way to help yourself
is to help others.
-Uncle Iroh
âI know youâre not supposed to cry over spilt tea, but...
...itâs just so sad.â
@HaterOfPasswords "How could a member of my own family say something so horrible!"
Donât worry this isnât spilled tea so I think your ok.
At least the tea isnât spilled, it just split
HAHAH THIS IS MY FAVORITE LINE FROM THE SHOW XD, EVEN MORE THAN THATS ROUGH BUDDY HAHAHAH
Weirrock Isawesome itâs spilled tears
See this is why uncle Iroh is the best character in avatar he's just so kind and has wisdom and humor at the same time the perfect uncle.
Lu Ten was the brave little soldier boy that never made it home, Zuko was the brave little soldier boy that was carried home.
Well said
My seven year old cousin said I reminded her of uncle Iroh and I cried.
That's the best compliment you could possibly get o.O
That's the sweetest thing ever.
Good on you, bro
That is the greatest honor that can be bestowed upon you
That is the kindest thing a little human could say
Uncle Iroh wouldn't mind me crying every time I hear this song.
Feelingsâ mutual.
Saame.
Heâd probably say something like âTears are just your minds way of releasing pain.â
@Timothy Tea Moth I literally read that mentally in Irohâs voice and now iâm crying internally and externally god damn it i wish there was something i could have have done for Uncle Iroh during that scene
no, he would not.
The fact that this video has absolutely no section called "Most replayed" is a clear sign that this song is a work of art from start to finish
I love that all the people who make their own little version of this song treat it with such care and love
Mako/Uncle Iroh deserves it.
Everybody gangsta till iroh starts singing leaves from the vine
NO-ONE is gangsta when Iroh sings.
Arbiters Kiss yeah because EVERYONE IS CRYING
Correction, everybody gangsta until Iroh appears on the screen. Period.
Then we all start to tearbend.
Ikr it's sounds almost like a childish for iroh's son but it holds so much weight. Also the image of his son is mako when he was younger

thank oyu so much. never realised there was a full version
@anna really! its so good
The last verse always breaks my heartđđ
I honestly think this is my favorite fan version
*"Happy Birthday, My Son"*
*"If only I could have helped you..."*
I break down in tears everytime I hear this, after all these years...
Me: *Turns 21
Me: I'm a man now!
Also me: *crying while listening to this song
Nothing wrong with doing the normal thing
that's why you are a man :))
There is nothing manlier than letting yourself cry
Mako didn't die, he just ascended to the Spirit World, just like Irohđ„ș
So Mako (the in unvierse character) was named after the original voice actor for uncle iroh?
@@chodxnielmobile671 yes
@@noelcorona141 actually his name isnt Mako, I forgot his name but i will write here asap.
his name was Lu Ten
@@naciyedemir3761 that is iroh's son, we are talking about the mako character from legend of korra
Itâs Lu Ten
To people who disliked: My uncle isn't angry with you just sad because you had lost your way.
Zuko, my dude, well said. Will you tell him I sent my regards?
I feel like crying after hearing this :
why you gotta do this to my feelings
When you're father was fire lord aang was'nt the last airbender he was the only airbender that was known of
Hey zuko youâve officially regained your honor
Just hearing the melody brings back tears in my eyes because I can just picture that tearful scene clearly..... this one is in honor of mako
Roses are red,
Aang's arrows are blue
Happy birthday, my son, if only I could've helped you
You did this for w h a tđ
WHYYYYYY
why must you hurt me in this way
No no no. Why?
@@emilyfrancis3933 just because
IrohâS first line: "Why donât u have a calming cup of jasmine tea"
I hate to be that guy but... it was,"I won't get to finish my game?"
Remember? When Zuko saw the light he asked, "Uncle! Do you realise what this means?" *enter Iroh* "I won't get to finish my game?"
Oh right srryđŹ
No worries

Atin. Atin my heart. Atin pls
Atin, destroyer of hearts :D
It's not fair (â„ïčâ„)
âSometimes life is like this dark tunnel, you canât always see the light at the end of it, but if you just keep moving, you will come to a better place.â - Uncle Iroh
Now imagine if Zuko was singing this when Iroh died and Toph was there, both drinking tea, singing leaves from the vine. Lieutenantâs grave and Irohâs grave are right next to each otherâs
I hate you but at the same time this is now canon in my head. take my like.
This is my head canon now.
Can we all just pay respects to our heroes who never made it back.
Yes...Yes, we can. :(
In honor of mako..
"Those who know can always find a friend."
~Iroh
Never would I thought a cartoon would make you feel so immensely heartbroken. Absolutely incredible
I always cry when Iroh sings it in memorial to his sonâs birthday
The tears you heard from this scene were real because the voice actor âMakoâ he was dying while singing this song.
May his soul be blessed in heaven for eternityâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
You know what. I reported you. YOUR ABUSING MY HEART
@@rachaelmarsh5903 OMG WAIT WHAT?!
May mako and every soldier that didn't return home be at peace wherever their spirits may be
it feels like i could feel the emotion in this. Rest easy, Mako. You truly were amazing.
It doesn't hurt me
It burns me alive :(
Damn those effects look good. Beautiful playing too.
Thanks Eric! I can highly recommend Embers for our type of video production :)
AtinPiano Iâll have to check it out. Looks amazing!
Whenever I hear this song I always think about the brave little solider boys who did not come marching home.
They come home, one way or the other .
aaaaa stop making me more sad than I already am
đ„Č
All I can imagine is Iroh and his son reuniting in the spirit world, having a cup of tea, singing this song together.
Uncle Iroh we are here with you until the end
Everyone know that you are the best Uncle
No I'm not crying, you're crying đ
At least we are all crying toghter...
â€ïžâ€ïž
It's a terrible day for rain.
Yes... Yes I am and I will never not listening to this
look, just because i can't see the tears on your face through the tears pouring out of my eyes doesn't mean they're not there too.
TLA is my absolute favourite animated show (next to Fullmetal). What other Avatar tracks would you like to see piano covers for?
The Last Agni Kai!
Safe return
The Last Agni Kai
Service and Sacrifice from Korra would be beautiful! Last Agni Kai slaps too. This is a gorgeous cover, and I'd love to hear more ATLA/LOK themes :)
SECRET TUNNEL
This is honestly the most soothing song played on a piano I have ever heard
This version is so light and sounds so emotional...
Godspeed Mako... You've given life to an iconic figure. May your spirit find everlasting peace.
I love how everyone is now on an Avatar trip. Finally the spotlight it deserved
This is a stunningly beautiful rendition of this simple song. Itâs bringing tears to my eyes as I write this comment.
I shall watch this over and over again although the song is still over a decade old to this day it still hits
Legit one of the only songs that can make me cry
that dude tried so hard not to flood his piano with tears during this
I swear if you make anything into a piano cover it instantly gets 10 times more sad
I just finished watching all of Avatar: The Last Airbender for the first time. I cried ugly tears during this part of the episode. Here I am again, crying those ugly tears.
This was breathtaking!
i just finished watching ATLA for the third time since it came on Netflix, and even still, this scene makes me tear up a little lol
tear up a LITTLE?!
I'm making a river in my house đ

Lyrics for those who prefer this version:
Leaves from the vine
Falling so slow
Like fragile tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy
Come marching home
Brave soldier boy
Come marching home
Ash in the snow
Falling so slow
Like fragile broken hearts with no place to go
Little soldier boy
Taken from home
Forced to fight a war
That was not his own
Little soldier boy
Cold and alone
Brave soldier boy
Never made it home
Leaves from the vine
Changing so slow
Like empty fallen souls
Looking for a home
Little soldier boy
Thought he could soar
Brave soldier boy
Fallen in the war
My little soldier boy
I need you home
Brave soldier boy
Come marching home
This is beautiful, thank you
@@nickvelasquez4985 U r welcome! Its my fav version :D
I'm crying reading this đđđđđđđđđđđđđ„đ„
Can someone sing it and record it on yt.
This is probably my favorite piano version of it. But to me it just can't top the string based instruments
I get what ya mean, but remember - piano is a string based instrument :)
Pianos a string based instrument bro
I know what y'all mean, I didn't want to use 'string based instruments' at first, tho I didn't know how to phrase it otherwise. I meant instruments like banjo, and guitar and others. Apologies.

Just rewatched the episode where Iroh sings this like yesterday.
I just saw it again today lol
Thatâs rough buddy
...i just stopped smiling for the entire song, this shows me that my uncle is a good man, and should be remembered
This song is even more emotional for me since it was my geckos fav song who died a few weeks ago
Didnât know geckos could have favorite songs

@@cjadventures8840 lmao, this man really K'ed him.
Absolutely amazing. That song is even more bittersweet when you know that it was the last thing the first voice actor for Iroh made. He knew at the time of the recording that he had cancer and died shortly after the original had been recorded. To this day the voice actor that replaced him will not sing that song as he feels it belongs to the original voice actor.
When he sung like that it was the first and last time I ever heard his voice, wish I was born earlyer, but Iâm not gonna be sad because he is gone Iâm going to be happy because he existed
Rest in Peace, Mako Iwamatsu â„
Wow, the nostalgia just hits you. I can just hear Uncle Iroh singing along in the back.
Gave this one try and my god, started tearing up one minute in, I can hear Irohâs voice singing it. Beautiful song.
Girlfriend âyou didnât cry at Titanic,do you even cry?â
The boysâLeaves from the vineđfalling so slowâ

Man why you gotta do this to ma feelings bro
Stop it I have company.
Suddenly I'm a boy.
Looks like imma boy then đ„Č
There's no tears in Ba Sing Se.
Good thing I'm here.
This song isn't nearly enough to truly express the feels it wells up within me.
Itâs the lights and the gracefulness for me đ
This truly is the saddest song ever. It gets me every time. Glad nobodyâs ever around to see me cry about it
Come, why don't you have a cup

This was so beautiful that it's making me tear bend
This song always makes me tearbend đđ
My grandfather passed away due to cancer this January and I began watching the series again. When I got to Tales of Ba Sing Se the tribute of mako reminded me of my grandfather so when I miss him I just come to this song and play it.
Well, there goes my heart. This song never fails to break something inside every time, and this variation you've done is just as heartbreakingly beautiful.
Roses are red,
Leaves are from the vine.
He always said
To just be kind.
One of the few things on the internet that never fails to make me sad.
"Happy birthday my son. If only i could've helped you..."
A yeah, this is all I need to complete my tearbending training
you can even faintly see lu ten when heâs playing the song, very touching.
