Okay but the entire song was awesome! Relistening to it rn bc I only saw the last half of the premiere
just added it to my playlist!! also love how you referenced to fight like a girl in sokka and yue’s part!!
@Chase Miller honestly, yeah
Can you also upload it on soundcloud?
This whole song is so cool!
Sokka singing the words he learned from the Kyoshi warriors, Zuko saying he was lucky to be born, I CAN'T--
Damn if I wasn't right, calling this 3 months ago on the "Fight Like a Girl" video. "I'm just imagining this Reprised in the heat of the Finale Battle in Book 1. Sokka singing this to himself while everyone else is singing some other Finale Number."
Nothing like sharing a duet with your second love interest, where you sing the song that your first one taught you XD
Fr! I was shook
@@randomwriter9570 he meets suki and the kyoshi warriors early season 1 when they're in the earth kingdom, but she doesnt become a regular until later.
@@randomwriter9570 Nope. He meets Suki in the beginning of Book 1 and they're reunited in Book 2.
Sokka referencing Fight Like A Girl!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
And I just listened to it yesterday
That part made me tear up!!
Wait when did he do that?
@@Bandbozzeled212 3:12
You gotta fight with honor
This song is so great
Why is no one talking about Yue??? Queen slayed her part ♥️
thank youuu so much thats so kind
@@sydesider that's you? GIRLIE YOU ARE AMAZING i love you 😩
@@sydesider im so obsessed with your voice its beautiful omg
Totally
@@sydesider You were amazing!!
My three favorite things
1 - Sokka's singing "Fight Like a Girl" lyrics, showing his training with the Kyoshi warrior, despite being brief, is something he's learned from and that he's bringing with him
2 - Katara and Zuko singing "because I have worked so much harder" at the same time
3 - "But know the Fire Nation's damage cannot be undone"
3 especially because of how it works with yue
4 they got Iroh's voice actor I believe
@@yesyes5185 semi-original voice actor.
@@yesyes5185 There we’re 4 voice actors. Greg Baldwin was one of them.
YES. OMG that fight and zuko and katara singing together is so amazing
You got Greg Baldwin, the semi-original Uncle Iroh to sing his character's parts?! That's so cool! Everyone did so well!!! Congrats on this success to everyone who worked on it!!! You all worked so hard and it paid off!
OMG SO THATS WHY THE VOICE WAS SO GOOD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
WHEN HE STARTED SINGING I WAS LIKE "holy fuck he sounds SO much like Iroh how did he do this?!" BUT IT'S THE ACTUAL IROH AND I'M _FREAKING OUT_
WAIT.
NO
What?! No!! What?! No!!
What! how! no! impossible! Amazing! My heart-
I can't believe this is an actual thing. We're seriously gonna get a whole ass musical and I'm losing my MIND. This was absolutely amazing!
@@Danie.M I don't understand how, though. How did they get the rights from Nickelodeon to do this?
wait waIT WHAT
@@Danie.M NONO THEY ALREADY GOT ACTORS
wAIT-
HUH
WHO’S HERE WITH ME HAVING COMPLETE CHILLS?
Also, I’m all in for Yue having an absolute angelic voice like this
I have a theory that if the avatar cycled did not stop then Princess Yue would have been the avatar because she needed some spirit...
The Avatar Spirit
Im sitting here rugged up in fluffy clothes in bed and still getting chills from that Yue bridge - holy moley thats how you know its real
When she was vocalizing and then the flute starting playing right after, I thought for a split second that that was Yue hitting a high note really well
@@Cayis_ but like if the Avatar cycle is some preditermined future how does it not take being frozen into account?
I love Yue’s voice, Iroh’s VA being in this song, Katara & Zuko singing together with their ideologies being parallel and Sokka’s Like A Girl reprise ! The lyrics can be a bit cramped with too many syllables in a few verses here and there, but nonetheless the song is chillingly amazing. You can feel and hear the intensity in every beat.
*YOU GOT IROH HIMSELF TO SING THIS?!?!?!?!?*
HOLY SHIT????
@@cryptwinters8886 I KNOW RIGHT
OMG
THE WAY SHE INCORPORATED THE OTHER SONGS INTO THIS OMGGGGG
This is definitely the climactic song of an act, just like in the show.
The amount of ''That's rough, buddy''s in the chat tho O_O
Edit: I just heard the Eye of the Storm motif at 6:42
I think you're the first one to notice!
My dad noticed it too haha
I didn't notice!!😱
I started squealing when I heard it because of how excited I was lol
Ahhhh multiple people noticed dang lol, I’ll delete the enthusiastic comment I just left thinking I was special for a split second 😂 good ear, took me multiple listens to catch bahaha
1:27 Can we all just appreciate the skill of Iroh’s voice actor? ❤️❤️❤️
Edit: Yue’s singing is beautiful as well
Thats cause he i s the Iroh voice actor lmao-
@@Nakoweed26 He is Iroh's voice actor, however, he wasn't during season one.
@@gizemgonenc5342 no I meant the person singing, Im aware of the fact that he isn’t the original va for Iroh
@@Nakoweed26 Is the singing part the one of the VA’s from the show? Or from this musical?
@@Brooke052 from the actual show
That high note with yue though...true talent.
thank you!!!
Just gonna chill for 2 days-
Me too
Man, I was already SHAKING at how phenomenal the composition was and how perfectly everyone fit their roles (screams in Greg Baldwin), and then 3:11 came and my jaw utterly *dropped*. My favorite detail has to be the Fight Like a Girl callback bit within Sokka and Yue's lines, SO damn smart.
Just, chills for the whole thing. Total chills.
The singer for Yue did truly amazing just wow
thank youuu
@@sydesider OF COURSE, you have insane talent and you did amazing!!
Literal tears just came to my eyes at the image of Yue floating above Sokka during 6:10-6:30. Imagine this on stage. Everything about this production, music, lyrics, lighting, direction - IT WILL BE PHENOMENAL! Thank you Katherine (and everyone who is a part of ATLM) you are bringing my dream to life :)
Serious question here Katherine, how many times did you cry while creating/editing this piece? Because, OUCH my heart :'(
All I'm picturing is Yue from the Ember Island Players saying she was busy and had moon duties to attend to 🤣🤣
YO! I’ve had this idea when i first heard this song, If they used glow in the dark body paint and black lights on yue, it would be so cool to dim the lights turn and out her in a harness and have her float while glowing to symbolize her transformation into to moon spirit
The fact that you can hear Yue's voice prominently in the first Water Tribe chorus and then Aang's in the ending one is.... *chills*
This was overall a beautiful song and you and your team did such a good job.
Ok I’ll just be over there sitting in a corner with my computer for two days waiting until the song comes out .
I love the call back to ''fight like a girl''
"'Cause I have worked so much harder" by Zuko and Katara always run chills through my body. even after listening to it 125124534534 times
Yo!! They got the guy who did Iroh after Mako to do Iroh, that’s sick
Whoever voiced iroh did an incredible job I was really impressed
It's his voice actor!
@@katherinelynnrose No wonder it was so spot on XD
Oml I love how you had Sokka at 3:16 repeat the lesson Suki told him in ‘Fight Like a Girl’
When the fire nation soldiers say, “May his fire burn forever,” it sounds like in find you when Azula says, “Adding to your endless failures.” The piano that plays during that part it also kinda reminiscent of Azula’s Theme
from 3:10-3:30 I noticed immediately how Sokka is repeating the lyrics Suki sings to him in 'Fight Like A Girl' and my god is that powerful! I love how you show how much of an impact Suki makes on Sokka in his mindset and furthermore his fighting skills.
We're really getting fully developed musical themes and motifs in this musical huh 😭😭
I know it's so cool!!!
Oh my god!!!!! Sokka referencing Fight Like a girl, the references to Eye of the Storm near the end, Yue’s high notes, Iroh’s VA, and at 5:30 I can hear the main melody of Korra’s theme. Words cannot describe how hyped this has made me. Holy shit
Soka singing what he learned from the kyoshi warriors while singing with his moon girlfriend (3:16)
I like how the music picks up Everytime Yue sings, it just feels like she’s really important (which she is)
THE IROH AND ZUKO MOMENT IM SO SOFTTT
Ughhh the original avatar soundtrack mixed into it is just so good
Katara and Zuko’s little duet that shows how similar they are even though they are from different nations
INTO THE EYE OF THE STORM OMG (6:40)
we didn’t get 1 BUT 2 WHOLESOME IROH AND ZUKO MOMENTS IN THIS SONG😭
Me 4 am in my kitchen belting : “ OUR STRENGTH COMES FROM THE MOON” ✊🏽🎤
THIS ME FR
"OUR LIFEEE COMES FROM THE OCCEEAAAAN"
Hahaha I was thinking the whole time "Damn this guy they got for Iroh really committed. He sounds exactly like the voice actor and then realised you literally got GREG BALDWIN?! amazing job, this is so cool. I can't wait to see what else you all produce.
How are you going to put three seasons of the show in one musical?
However, I like it so much.
I was on the stream when you were working on the song and since that day I have been singing the Yue's part all the time. I can't wait to hear the full version!
But most typical musicals last two acts
@@untitleduntitled4740 That's why I asked
They could do a cursed child like thing and do each act separately and the audience can by tickets to each act (idk if it’s separate tickets or some sort of one and you can choose what shows to go to tho)
@@untitleduntitled4740 They would probably do a 20 minute intermission or something at the end of act 2.
@@staceyd8043 Or maybe it could be an opera. Three acts
It's great how this illuminates different layers of the show like Katara and Zuko singing about how hard they've worked and that's one of the real factors that leads to their success as benders, and sometimes the actors will have a different inflection that makes certain lines hit in a unique way. I love the way Kristan Acruz delivers 'I'm tired'!
I love the callback to "Fight Like a Girl" with Sokka
chills..... chills all around!!! amazing amazing amazing!
i’m in love with sydney and kathrine’s voices-
thank you !!
Everything about this was amazing, all the harmonies in those background vocals, little details like the fight like a girl bit for Sokka, the high notes and incredible vocals by everyone, this song is absolutely incredible! Amazing job by everyone
SEVEN MINUTES LONG?!!! katherine really be feeding us with all this content
you’re the tooop
you’re the tooop
you’re the tooop
top of my

p l a y l i s t
Top of my school reference?
The first chorus when all the voices join in and it shows them standing on the wall, in anticipation of the oncoming battle and then there the line "But know the Fire Nation's damage cannot be undone" and it pans toward Sokka and Katara, which I think is a beautiful illustration about how even when peace is achieved some wounds will never fully heal, they lost their Mom to this horrid war and no victory will ever change that, but it doesn't mean they should stop trying.
Then when both Katara and Zuko sing "Cause I have worked so much harder" in harmony and it's absolutely perfect, because as the last waterbender of her tribe Katara has struggled with her abilities ever since she discovered them, but when she finally found other waterbenders she was turned away because she was a girl, but she proved herself, her talent, and now she has a master. and then on the other hand there's Zuko, Zuko has always had to work harder than everybody else around him, he's determined to prove to his father that he is not a waste, a disgrace, he's been banished for three years at this point, and he can finally, finally, see the light at the end of the tunnel, he will not be denied his victory, his honor, his throne.
WHA- WHAT WAS THAT???? I DIDN'T STOP CHILLING FOR A MINUTE this is so perfect that I almost cried I'm not lying
Well I shed some tears listening to it the first time and I'm usually not someone who does that.
"(you got to fight with honor all the time)"
A call back and a jab
Nice
Ahhhh!
I love Zuko references how his father said his sister was “born lucky” and he was “lucky to be born.”
In your channel intro you said: "i'm 17 years old..." I think i am speaking for all of the viewers who appreciate genius and deep content: "We are a bit jealous and it doesn't matter if you are 17 or 100 years old your viedeos speak for themselfs." You inspire me to become stronger, thank you.
All I know, this musical will be better that the Ember Island Play.
I hope my phone battery lasts the 2 days Imma be sitting here waiting
[Edit] i just listened to It twice and i cant put into words the chills this gave me
The fact that this song summarized the whole final of season one is amazing! next up toph Beifong!
I think my favorite part is the 'but knowbthe fire nation's damage cannot be undone' because at first one assumes it means structural damage, especially bc of the shots of the walls, but after yue's sacrifice, the *true* damage is known
I love how it mixes in lots of necessary dialogue and sneaky references like Zuko saying that nothing comes as easily when your lucky to be born like he said to Aang whe he was in the spirit world in that episode.I also love how accurate the dialogue is its almost identical to the actual thing but illustrated in elegant,colourful literature its just so good!
yes. yes. yes. YES. YES! YES!! YES!!! **inhale** YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6:10 THIS PART IS LITERAL HEAVEN
OH MAH GAWD
[especially yue's part]
Honestly if this came out as a full musical to hit all the points it wants to I believe it should be fully animated. It would be so beautiful and an amazing tribute to the original series to have the full musical animated.
I don't know, I think it would be really powerful to see it on stage. Plus it would offer up a lane for lots of creativity.
@@4dultw1thj0b I believe so to it would be beautiful on stage but I believe it would look beautiful in animation. Either way I'm very happy this is a thing.
@@angelinafitzgerald1762 Sure, but the thing for me is the show already exists in animation and I'd just sorta like to see something new with the material.
I can't either!!😭😭😭
@Zion Young i cant either
Imagine how Hama reacted during the siege when the full moon disappeared.
"You've found a master, haven't you?" Was probably one of my favorite zuko lines for some reason
YUES SINGER'S SINGING IS SO GOOD OMG
thank you :)
Everyone's talking about Iroh, Zuko, and everyone else being really amazing, to which I most definitely agree, BUT IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW TALENTED THE ACTOR OF AANG IS TOO BRO???? THATS LITERALLY AANG HIMSELF AND YOU CANT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE LMAO
The actress/singer for Yue got vocals💖💖🏄🏾♀️
oh for sure. miss @sydneyesider
thank youuu
I can imagine Yue in the final part on a scene, the soldiers are singing and she rises on a moon (Galinda from wicked style) in the background.
NO BC THE DETAIL AT 3:16 ???? SOKKA SINGING LINES FROM SUKI'S SONG ?????? i've been decimated this is phenomenal 😭😭😭
I love how the trumpets play “marching onwards” during the battle between Zuko and Katara. It provides the feeling of the Fire nation being a threat while the water tribe chorus plays over it.
I ADORE TUI AND LA! 😍
Idk why but I imagine the water tribe with their heads up during the chorus, proud, ready to fight, but I imagine the fire nation with their heads down, obedient, you know?
I just got goosebumps when Iroh talked omg
Girl the Fight Like a Girl reference has me QUAKING
Everyone was so great!! The entire song was 👨🍳👌 Sydney was awesome the whole time! Genuinely don't know how she hit those notes at the end, my sick alto self could never
ahh thank you so much
I'm a soprano, but I still don't know how she did that--
@@sydesider you deserve all the praise!
@@ThatOneBard_BritzOP Ikr
I’ve never been so impatient for may to come
Can we all agree Katherine is basically a genius??? Like???? I’m absolutely blown away by everything I hear from her?!?! Like for real?!?!
I'm blown away by your talent, of your writing and composing, being able to perfectly characterize all these characters. And the build up of this song is phenomenal. And all the singers did an amazing job!
THE INSTRUMENTAL OF INTO THE EYE OF STORM HOLY FUCK
Yue at 6:15 literally has me crying, WHAT?????
omg awww
@@sydesider You were amazing!
YO. THE VOICE FOR IROH IS TOOOOO GOOD!! YO YO YO!! ITS SO SIMILAR TO YHE ORIGINAL VA
It is the voice actor!
Oh my gosh this is the third time I've listened to this and I just realized that Sokka's part is a slowed down version of the Fight Like a Girl song!!!
THE COMPOSITION IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND WELL DONE. THE SINGERS AND ENSEMBLE DID A PHENOMENAL JOB TOO AAAA . I'M SO EMO THIS IS A MASTERPIECE 😭👏
5:33 the harmonising it was ooo beautiful it’s making me tear bend sheen yue gave her life up 😢😭😭
2:16 hi, me again. I just want to you all appreciate the avatar state theme right here.
Chills, literally chills
OMG SOKKA'S CALLBACK TO FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!!!
The way I violently cried during this entire song
The fact you managed to do the entire South Tribe fight in one song and make it sound SPINE CHILLING is AMAZING!! I loved everyones parts!!!
I still can't believe I first watched this video in the middle of my zoom class
I will never experience such nostalgia ever again 🥲
The whole song gives me chills but 3:10 is my favourite part, I just can't stop listening to it. Yue's voice is absolutely perfect
thank you so much
HONESTLY CHILLS!!!
When Sokka starts singing Suki's part from fight like a girl at like 3:30 I lost all of my marbles
i just love them so much "~"
Man. I’ve watched book 1 a thousand times, but the finale NEVER made me cry - it has emotional ups and downs, sure, but it’s to a slower beat. Having this ALL AT ONCE in the form of an angelic song got me crying right away. What the hell.
I don’t know if it was pointed out yet, but I absolutely love Yue’s voice in this-it’s so good! My favorite part has to be the descant she sings after sacrificing herself 😭
The anticipation is overwhelming....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
After yue turned into the moon spirit I thought the water tribe said “but now the fire nations damage cannot be undone” now instead of know because yue had died T^T
Oh my god how is no one talking about 0:39, Sydney Sider absolutely killed it as Yue and that "ocean" was just so good!!
The self sacrifice of yue has always been such a powerful scene but this really brings it out especially after the whole battle has ended
I don't know how to describe it but it's SO GOOD
AHHH I CAN'T WAIT-
this will be the only thing that will get me through the week
I'm in love with Zhao's voice .
SOKKA IS SINGING THE HOOK FROM FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!!!!! *flail*
ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE AS ALWAYS KATHERINE! AND TO HAVE THE ONE AND ONLY GREG BALDWIN IS TRULY AMAZING! I have chills, Sokka and Yue’s part was absolutely beautiful and seeing him remembering what the Kyoshi Warriors tells him was a very nice touch I never would have expected.
When I first heard this, I thought “Damn, whoever is doing Iroh’s part has the voice nailed down perfectly”. Then I got even more confused when it got to Iroh’s speaking parts because they sounded like they were taken directly from the show.
Then I realized it was Greg Baldwin doing the voice himself.
Everyone was so great! But Yue hitting all of those high notes? I would pass out oh my gosh
I almost did.. LOLOL JK
Hey girl it's me still listening to this song like a year later so um it just fully clicked for me that at 2:48 Zuko's voice goes higher while Katara goes lower, and I have to know does this represent him "rising with the sun" and winning the fight?? Cus if so I'm obsessed with the level of detail
For the choreo for fire, water and air you could attach ribbons to the hands of the actors that can be hidden by the costume, so when they bend they can let the ribbons loose to imitate the bending. Red and orange for fire, blue for water, and white for air! Just a suggestion!
I love how the Ocean spirit is flipping out but immediately calms down when he sees the moon, like 'my friends back, everything's cool now!' and then sets Anng down gently 'thanks for letting me vent my anger buddy, here you go' and then just leaves.
I have not watched this 12 times today, that did not happen
But seriously, great song! Personally, I couldn’t stop listening to 3:11. AGH the call back from Fight Like a Girl during Sokkas’ part and the Eye of The Storm Motif at 6:42 is amazing!
The low notes in this gave me life
every time i come back to listen i get so emotional. avatar means so much to me. i watched it as it originally aired. i fell in love with musical theater. and now both have come full circle.
everyone in this production has done so well!
Omg girl wtf this is really coming together I am so proud I have been following since "fight like a girl" where you sung as sokka and here you are with full fledged cast I am so damn proud you go
