    My grandmother watched the "Tales From Ba Sing Se" with me when I was younger. She loved "Leaves From the Vine". I would constantly hear her humming the song as she worked in the kitchen or garden...
    She requested that I play the song on the piano at her funeral.
    Her health slowly started to deteriorate, and she died in February of 2020...
    I asked my mom to play the song on her phone as my grandmother left. Almost immediately, a wave a calm and peace fell upon her.
    I did as she requested, I played "Leaves From the Vine" as well as "Avatar's Love". I look towards the people in the pews of the church, and almost every single one of them was either crying, or teary eyed.
    Rest in Peace Grandma... wait for me so we can watch the finale together in heaven.

  • @legitarmyranger9993
    @legitarmyranger9993 4 ปีที่แล้ว +148

    One of my favorite aspects of the show that I do not think gets enough credit, is the music. It always seems to capture the emotion and tone of the moment perfectly and the range the music used in the show is nothing short of spectacular. From soft, melancholy, and somber pieces all the way to epic, grand, and uplifting compositions, this show truly has it all in terms of music.

    • @ErikCPianoman
      @ErikCPianoman  4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      legit armyranger You’re right. The ost is amazing and I think that is partly why is under appreciated. Adding to that, much of the music is more atmospheric and there are only a few musical motifs used consistently throughout the show. The show mainly relies on development of these short musical ideas in a variety of context rather than developing a singular lyrical melody. That’s partly why “Secret Tunnel” and “Leave from the vine” are so memorable; they are some of the few longer lyrical songs we get from the ost.
      Also the ost does the job of fitting action in the scene while not distracting from it, to well. Kind of like how nobody should notice good vfx, atmospheric music should add to the scene not distract from it.

    Of all the TH-cam pianists out there, you're the most consistent, and not in a consistently decent/good sort of way. You consistently blow me away, by bringing out things that I really hoped you would, and including things in ways I never would've expected. This is no exception.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go crawl into a hole and cry my eyes out.

    The execution is nothing short of stunning. I can hear all those crazy traditional instruments come out through your playing.

I've been rewatching the series on Netflix with my daughter and it's bringing back all kinds of memories from when I was younger. Your renditions definitely have me in my feels. You, sir, are amazing at what you do! It's going to take some serious water bending to hold back all the watery eyes!

  • @connorsturgeon8863

    I really appreciate that you included some themes not commonly seen in ATLA medlies. This is the first medley I've heard that incorporates Ba Sing Se's theme (which is an incredible leitmotif in context of the show). And I don't think I've heard many, if any at all, incorporate Iroh's Speech, which is odd to me considering it's an incredible piece of music, albeit a relatively short one.
