In the Clouds ORIGINAL SONG || ATLA
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- In case you don't know, I've been writing music for an Avatar: The Last Airbender Musical on TikTok. I'm working on releasing full songs here on RUclips and other platforms. Here's the first song!
"In the Clouds" takes place at the beginning of the show when Aang is flying on Appa with Katara and Sokka. Despite ignoring his responsibilities as the Avatar, Aang is haunted by this burden. Throughout the song, Aang repeats to himself that life is still fun even though he knows he has to save the world. I'll be doing an in-depth breakdown of "In the Clouds" on Patreon analyzing and explaining the lyrics, instruments, motifs, and more!
Special thanks to Joshua Turchin for coming through with the kalimba when GarageBand failed me.
Music, lyrics, arrangement, and vocals by Katherine Lynn-Rose.

Haha! I just watched "If The last Airbender was a musical" It's really good after I watched that I just found your youtube channel BTW You have AMAZING SINGING! my favorite song is the Azula part, its the best!
I think I saw that video@@Cheeseburger53
Some China 🇨🇳 and very kind Canada 🇨🇦 myself Vancouver and Beijing.
When she says “in the clouds” I hear a bit of avatars love
I thought you were talking about her voice and how it reflects aangs appreciation for little things. Either way, I completely agree
Oh dear Katara
OMG ME TOO!
It actually does use the same notes for the line in the clouds as well as it being in the background
Omggg too
I'm seeing a reprise could happen after Ba Sing Se falls when Katara is healing Aang and she sings a sadder version about how the world down there have violence and betrayal but in the clouds, they can be free from all that
Edit: Wow thanks for all the likes. I've never gone internet famous
OMG YES!!!
Y E S
yesssss
YES YES YES PLEASEEEEE
Act one finale
She sings like a Disney princess
Thank you for 1K holy digital clicks I'm surprised I got this many likes!!!😁🤩🥳🤯👁️👄👁️
Thank you all so much ❤️ I didn't expect to see this much kindness.
nice profile picture hahaha
Hahhah same
Same here I love yours
why can i just imagine sokka in the background staring at them while they sing like: 👁️👄👁️
because he is
Hahahahaha yesssss
Sokka is playing the xylophone
@@rowanheart8122 yes haha
appa: ⬇️
👁👄👁
This really feels ripped straight from an official soundtrack or from official material. Really captures the feel of early series expectations and mystery
ikr i was legit crying at the first line
almost reminds me of Pocahontas
It borrows a lot of motifs from the soundtrack. That's what's amazing about it.
And then Katherine said “LET THERE BE KATAANG” 🤩✨
Music Girl isn’t she dating a girl 👁👄👁
STC Katara? No..? You might be confusing her with Korra
Music Girl lol I got them confused when I first started watching A:TLA
@@stc6384 no lmao I think you mean korra, who is from another show
everybody liked that
I really want u to make an atla musical... This sounds like It belongs in the actual show..... I am shook
She and a few collaborators are working on an unofficial musical for Atla on TikTok!
@@OniyunYun thats super cool, but it would be very hard to perform it because how would all the special effects work?
@@franfrankie7 ember Island players do it well hahaha, it can be used as a reference
Elefante Verde LMAOOOOOO
I know I really wish that this would get greenlit by Bryke
Wait does this mean Sokka is major third-wheeling in this song 😂
na, sokkas in the clouds with the moon spirit XD
I think of NPH in Dr Horrible's sing along blog when Penny and Capt Hammer and singing a duet and Dr Horrible is just in the background singing being the major 3rd wheel.
@@tticusFinch ???
@@ibelsmellsoh my sweet summer child. Feast your eyes on this greatness (11:00 and 14:00 for the 3rd wheeling) ruclips.net/video/QBteWFueKlg/видео.html
@@katherinelynnrose lmao
Scenes that will be interesting songs 🤔:
- Cactus Juice
- When Sokka does poetry
- Zuko's redemption
- Zuko singing about his honor and what he thinks will happen when he catches Aang
- Azula and her obession with perfection
- Ty Lee not wanting to be part of a matching set
- Aang and his feelings when Appa is missing
- Toph and her being blind
- Sokka when he is learning how to a sword master
- Iroh singing about how Zuko reminds him of his son
- Iroh singing about balance and tea
- When Sokka feels powerless
- The river spirit (the one Katara pretends to be)
- When Aang has open all his chakras and let go of his earthly desire (Katara)
/ECT./
I especially like the last one
@@veronicaryder7553 didn’t he refuse tho? 🤔
CACTUS JUICEEEE
i think that "little miss perfect" fits azula so well!
Cactus juice is a song
This song is actually really sad because katara is trying to tell aang that his family is dead and to not get his hopes up but cannot bring herself to rain on his optimism because she secretly wants him to be right, she wants to escape the burden of her role as a mother figure and go into the clouds. The clouds represent escapism from the harsh reality. This moment is sad because Aang has not seen the horrors of war in the same way Katara and Sokka have and we know that soon this will change.
it's both sad and happy, that's what's really good
I don't know how far you've written as I'm not on TikTok, but one idea for you to consider:
Toph raps.
Yes lmao!
YES
or sings heavy metal
Mynti Girl yo holy shit
*oh heck yea-*
"In the cloouuuuds were free to fly forever"
Appa: **Exhausted Appa noises**
I love this so much, it shows Aang’s optimism along with Katara’s motherly nature to protect Aang from the truth
This pictures very well how Aang and Katara's relationship works: they loved each other basically at first sight, but Aang was too kiddish and carefree to prove himself as capable of caring for her, and Katara was too somber and traumatised to be honest to herself about her feelings and tried very hard to convince herself her love was motherly or sisterly, until 'The Fortuneteller' forced her to reconsider; but from the very beginning, each one had exactly the other sought: Katara had the hope and maturity Aang needed, and Aang had the joy and innocence Katara had lost. The official Avatar channel says Aang won Katara's heart at the moment he stopped the volcano, but I disagree -- that was when she *realised* it; in my opinion the moment he actually won her over was when they penguin-sledded -- at that moment Katara's childhood was restituted.
Tbh this song kinda reflects the state of the world rn. Life is unfair and we all want to feel free to fly wherever.
Word
still does.. it still does
I feel like the blue in the background describes this song so well. It’s so peaceful.
i was sobbing the whole time listening to this. you have no idea how much this means to me. i’ve felt like a completely different person since school ended. my last day of school was supposed to be my second show of our school musical, but we never got that. you’re combining two of the very few things that make me happy anymore. thank you.
That one dislike is Season 1 Zuko
And the 24 dislikes are some of his navy in season 1
The other 7 are from the sand benders
@@Leonidas_qw sorry if i'm wrong but do you mean earth benders?
@@notthecookie the ones who were in the library episode
@@humanbean7404 yep i know now. i hadn’t finished the series when i said that. thanks for correcting past me tho
The fact that you use GarageBand is so awesome to me especially when you make such amazing music!! It sounds incredibly professional and I’m glad you’re releasing full songs!! Very excited for Azula’s song 👀👀
Seriously?!! 😳 THIS IS AMAZING 😍
Yo i cried at the animatic version of this. I love how its musically written and how the lyrics are written to highlight the juxtaposition between aang's innocence of the genocide and Katara 's gentle attempts to ground him... this is beautiful 🥰😱😭😭😭
Oh yay! Super excited that these are finally being released on RUclips officially! Your work is in incredible, can’t wait!
I GOT HERE AS SOON AS I HEARD-
ALL THE WAY FROM LONDON?
DANG
(sorry, I had to)
MadiXOXO246 :D lol
@Aesthetic Ocean lol
Angelica, thank god you don't know what I've been struggling here to do-
*I'm not here for you...*
@@slushiie9674 i know my sister like i know my own mind you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind i love my sister more than anything in this life i will choose her happiness over mine every time
Waiting for katara's song, friend or foe and welcome to ba sing se
Synnie gets her music and posts it on RUclips! (Gives Katherine credit)
Waiting too!
When I hear this, I just imagine Sokka laying back and saying "I'm gonna nap" or somth like that and Katara and Aang begin their conversation and start to sing this. My hearttt.
Man, I want to meet someone who’s never seen Avatar so I can rewatch it with them.
Me: *casually jamming out the entire time because this is A BOP*
So who's gonna be the one to make a 10 hour version for us 😌
I can make one.
I'm not crying... I just accidentally spilled water in my eyes.
They should hire you!! You writing is fantastic!
This gave me goosebumps. Thank You so much for making this. This honestly makes me so emotional. This really displays how much Aang was falling for Katara, while Katara is trying not to fall and mothering him. I can imagine them flying there. Sokka napping and Aang and Katara having their moment. "Aang, you know I'm your girl" whould have Aang blushing uncontrollably... oh my gosh I would LIVE for this!
THE MOTIFS FROM THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK!! y’all this is so gooood!!
I played this song for my mom and told her it reminded me of my childhood, and we both started crying. I don’t know why, but this song just represents childhood happiness and wonder, and not to get to dramatic, but has really helped me through a tough time I’m going through. You see, there’s this boy who likes me and we’re in this friend group of couples but I know in my heart I’m not ready for a first boyfriend. But, I started convincing myself to stop being baby and just go through with it. This song came into my feed, and reminded me that childhood and being myself still exists. That you for that.
aang and Katara really are soulmates, they fit each other so well with katara serious and responsible most of the time, aang helps her relax and have fun. their relationship is so healthy, kind and true, unlike zutara (which i was briefly guilty of shipping as a kid) where they had no chemistry and wouldn’t fit each other at all.
i’m so glad aang and katara ended up together this song is perfect it shows their balance i love it!✨^ . ^
hey mate there really is no need to bash a ship to uplift another! shipping is for fun
I’m fine with Katara ending up with Aang, but Zutara would’ve been an amazing ship. What do you mean no chemistry? Some of the strongest relationships come from enemies-to-lovers. In fact I believe the team said they were originally going to pair Katara and Zuko but they ended up changing paths later down the line. Zuko and Katara would work well as a power-couple. Both of them lost their mothers, have a strong sense of loyalty to those closest to them, are stubborn about reaching their goals, and have a high level of maturity. They would be able to relate and heal each other’s traumas in order to become better people.
CatCactus i agree i usually like enemy to lover relationships but katara literally hated zuko until only a few eps before the show ended, and their personalities are strong they’d get in each others faces, like it’d be toxic. aang helped katara find peace and forget about revenge. don’t get me wrong i love zuko but i think he really suits mai cuz he gets emotional really easily and mai is super calm. i love the canon ships i feel like ppl only ship zutara cuz fire and water idk
Nathair wasn’t bashing literally just said they wouldn’t fit each other but loool dw ik ships aren’t serious i just love kataang like they had a whole family together uknw
@@crickt3229 "their relationship is so healthy, kind and true, unlike zutara" honestly, mentioning zutara at all was unnecessary. i have my own reasons why i don't think kataang works in the canon but that doesn't mean i'll mention it when talking about zutara, or imply don't like it for morally superior reasons
This definitely shows Aang's free-spirited nature so much. I love this!
So looking forward to listening!!
This brings me to tears and the fact that this is only the first song says something special is being crafted.
I'm not really sure why. But whenever I listen to this song, it almost gives me a temporary sense of forgetting everything bad around me and going on in the world/life currently. And I'm not just saying this because, it like genuinely makes me feel that way and I don't know why but it's amazing.
YESS THE FIRST SONG IS OUT
I've been looking forward to this for a while-
This song is beautiful and I love it, amazing!! :'DD
At night, I see and hear things. This song has made me feel so much better about that, ill listen to it and the panicking goes away. Its so calming. I love your voice and I hope you continue singing. These ATLA songs are by far mu favorite things to listen to, thank yiu
I was having trouble sleeping and I had this on notif so I watched it when it premiered and it made me cry? It’s so good, it’s so nice, it’s calming, well made, and nostalgic. I’ve been following you on tiktok and been jamming to your songs as well as Joshua Turchin and Daniel. I wish I could support you in patreon which I’ll be finding out how soon (since I’ve never had patreon before) anyways thank you so much for posting the full song and everything. I love you!
the absolute HAPPINESS I FEEL WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG thank you for making it :DDDDD i’m spinning around in the clouds ahehe
dis is beyond my expectation
I never knew dis song would make me soft
That last part makes me feel like ripping my hair out of bun, and I'm here for it
Idk why but this song gives me a nostalgic feeling and it hurts 😭
Came from emirichu’s vid and I’m so thankful I read the description and found this gem of a channel! New sub!
I remember a friend sharing a tweet with snippets of your ATLA musical idea. I think it’s super cool!
Hope you don’t bump into any copyright issues, and hope you keep pursuing this passion project. Your voice is amazing as are the lyrics and melodies!
I love how you used the end credits music notes to create the backup music
Sokka who just woke up from a nap: did you guys say something?
Katara and Aang: nope
This song is just so beautful
I get the melody stuck in my head randomly sometimes it’s so pretty
I’m absolutely in love with this ! ❤️
Same! Cant stop listening to this
Imagine this, as a piano cover, I WOULD DIE FOR THAT
Lyrics in the comments for those who'd want it:
If we knew of a world that could be
Brighter than the stars we're given
We'd give Appa a whirl and we'd
Escape from this old life we live in
Come hold my hand
We'll find that land
In the clouds
We're free to fly wherever
In the clouds
We're free to be whoever
In the clouds
As long as we're together
In the clouds
But we live in a world that isn't
Free from savagery and violence
Aang, you know I'm your girl who's here to
Help you find the proper guidance
'Cause life's unfair
Just be aware
In the clouds
We're free to fly wherever
In the clouds
We're free to be whoever
In the clouds
As long as we're together
In the clouds
In the clouds life is fun
With no burdens to bear
In the clouds, in the sun
Flying high in the air
In the clouds
In the clouds
In the clouds
Anyone else replaying all these AtLA musical songs to hype yourself up for the live action ✋
The voice actor for Aang would be proud.
Katara and Aang: singing beautifully
Sokka in the back 🕺
Sokka just casually ceasing to exist during this song
I CRIED LISTENING TO THIS
This sounds like it could be from a real episode. I love that it has a similar theme as "View from Up Here" from Tangled which also is about a carefree spirit who feels like they are trapped in a destiny that might consume their life.
Good job!
this is like atla's version of 'a whole new world', so beautiful!
I LOVE HOW THE AVATAR'S LOVE IS IN THE BACKGROUND!!! THIS IS BEAUTFIUL!!!
ohhhh this song is so sweet and gentle I love it so much!
Aang just is so hopefully in this! Totally fitting. Nicely done.
this sounds so sick! its like disney musical vibes, but peaceful also and its so incredible. for a second i actually thought this was from a real musical. your singing voice is so beautiful! this is so good. glad i subbed
Beautiful. Lovely. Astonishing. Breathtaking.
this is so beautiful and you are so talented Katherine!! can’t wait to hear the full version of Azula’s song
bro...I got chills- this NEEDS to happen because these songs are IMMACULATE
THIS. THIS IS AMAZING.
I tend to get really strong earworms if I really like a song and this has been playing in my head for days now and it's one of the few songs that I dont actually mind being in repeat forever (even if I cant sleep because of it)
You have no idea how excited I am!
I’m so excited! I bet it’s amazing
This is hella exciting!
SOMEONE GIVE THIS GIRL AN AWARD OR SMTH SHE'S LITERALLY WRITING A MUSICAL AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE LIKE OMG TALENT
I can't wait for the full version of Azula's song!
I was really looking forward to this, amazing work!!!!
Man this girl is crazy good. Please someone hire her to make an official avatar musical. The creators seem like people who would like a musical like this.
You know I just realized something ,everytime I listen to this song I get emotional. I love this song.
I was literally crying. This song is so nice and calming! Love to sing along😁
Idk if it's just me but since Sokka doesn't have a part in this song, I just picture him sleeping during this number while Aang and Katara sing
Let me just say this before I get mobbed;
I don't like Zutara as a ship and I am in Kataang gang. It's...I guess I just love fluff and purity and just-
THEY'RE ADORABLE OKAY. Besides, we see their relationship develop throughout the seasons.
I respecc the Zutara ships and I don't mind reading some of it though.
Let there be peace-
This song is amazing, thank you for blessing our ears 👁️💧💧👁️
You’re really out here upstaging the Ember Island Players making a whole Avatar musical
The full song omg!!! ITS SO GREAT
this is exactly what I imagine Aang's singing voice sounds like so ty
OMG I'm really excited about this musical! I've never thought about that possibility, and I'm happy you'll make it! This is beautiful
Such an incredible voice I was so moved by how beautifully, and how gracefully you sing this song. I would love to sing like this one day.
this was on my recommended thing on spotify, and i came here to say:
i was impressed.
this song is a bop.
good job, buster :D
We need an animatic ASAP 😭
I think it’s about time I do an animatic or something for this. Majorrrrr inspiration!!
Honestly this has been my favorite song since it came out- its so calming and sad 💕

This is so fucking cool my god. I would pay so much to see a ATLA musical live, and I love how you incorporated Avatar's Love into the background!!
I can literally feel all the happiness and warmth in this song!- it’s a weird feeling but I also sorta feel a bit of nostalgia
