  • Hello everyone! This week I sang Leaves From The Vine from Avatar: The Last Airbender (with extended lyrics by the lovely Reinaeiry mwuah thank you 😘)
    I originally thought I’d be a WRECK while working on this song but turns out crying wasn’t the issue; accidentally slurring the words “soldier boy” and it sounding like “soulja boy” was. The amount of outtakes of me singing soulja boy is ungodly. Maybe it's time to make a blooper soundboard. Anyways.
    (just a lil heads up: no upload next week bc i absolutely demolished my headphones last tuesday and don't think the new one will be here in time for me to mix!)
    As always, thank you for your continued support! It really does mean the world to me. Hope you all have a fantastic evening and I’ll see you next Saturday.

    (you can listen to this bad boy on the go too: bit.ly/LFTVAnna)

    Leaves from the vine,
    Falling so slow
    Like tiny, fragile shells
    Drifting in the foam
    Little soldier boy,
    Come marching home
    And brave soldier boy
    Comes 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 song was the last thing the voice actor recorded before passing away. In the context of the show itself, he sung it to commemorate his son who died in a war started by their family, one in which the character singing had been a general. The character is known for being rather jolly and a father figure for his exiled nephew. Seeing him break down in remembrance of his son hit hard. So it is a double whammy right to the feels for those of us familiar with the show.

    Little do we appreciate how wise Iroh actually is. He is different from all other firebenders in the way that he uses his bending, for instance. Iroh almost never uses his bending offensively, and when he does, it is only in situations where he sees no other option (For example, when Zhao threatens to kill the moon spirit at the siege of the northern water tribe, which Iroh understands would have catastrophic effects on all nations). In every other situations, he uses his bending defensively. He will deflect and redirect attacks, but never does he attack himself. He is wise enough to understand the destructive potential of his powers, and only uses them when he deems all other options to have been exhausted.

He had to lose his son to become the amazing person he was in the show.

    This succeeded in making me cry. Your voice is so beautiful, it’s melodious tone fitting perfectly with the song. You also possess so much emotion, and I felt that in this song (I’m also so happy you posted something from ATLA).

    May you rest peacefully for an eternity, Mako. Your memory will never be forgotten.

    A testament to your singing: In the hands of a lesser performer adding to the song like this is could be purest blasphemy, instead is it a treasure

    I can't express enough of how amazing of a rendition you did of this song. I cried rivers of tears because the added lyrics make the song so much more meaningful especially since now we know what Mako was going through.
    Such a great Song please keep up your amazing work.❤
