Hey, I’m a big fan of your work and you have even inspired me to try to make my own music, I was wondering if you could try to do a cover of the song “to heal” from legend of korra. Also me and my friend listen to your cover of “leaves from the vine” and we get so sad every time we listen
@@pendrxgxns Only because the writers let it happen that way, which was a really stupid decision. The whole legacy of Aang and every Avatar that came before, every chance of speaking with them is now gone.
@@Schmeter1 Aang: (insert his quote you put there) 501st troopers that witnessed Umbaran atrocities plus later forced to do Operation Knightfall: "Are we a joke to you?"
Top times I remember hearing this theme: - Katara and Aangs last kiss - Aang, Sokka and Katara flying away from the southern air temple after finding out all the airbenders were extinct. - Aang sleeping before the invasion. Feel free to list more - “Do you really think friendships last more than one life time?”
I love the playful/childlike sound in the beginning. And then how the melody gets stronger with a violin and background sounds. The violin kinda portrays the wavering romance while giving the song a sound of longing and love. Then, the song get a little slower and sweeter, a pause in the relationship. As it continues on, you are left wondering if this was truly meant to be. Then the Epic sounds of an orchestra come in, and you realize after all, this is what you wanted all along. Heavenly sounding, it represents the romance going on forever and never letting go. And then the song returns to its beginning, saying don’t forget tomorrow what you had today. Thank you Samuel Kim for this peaceful and lovely music. We all deeply thank you for it. - an enamoring fan
@Joshua Vett wow! Thank you for your words! I love describing things and writing them down so other people can enjoy them too. I hope to do this more when listening to Samuel Kim’s Music. Thank you so much for the encouragement in your kind words! And all thanks to Samuel Kim for creating this lovely piece of work. You are stirring people’s hearts with it :))
I don't know about others but for me, Katara and Aang pairing is the perfect example of the trope, "Friends to Lovers". Like, it's never forced, it developed naturally, and although there were times Katara got crushes here and there, and Aang had admirers, they still chose each other and end up together. I don't ship them nor was I rooting for them the entire show, but deep inside you already know it's gonna happen and you don't expect anything and just let it come - just like the two of them coming together. Perfect ending for a masterpiece.
I wrote this song back when I was 18 in 2014 right after watching the Legend of Korra finale so it's a pretty old song. But I thought I'd share since the world could use some love and peace. This song was heavily influenced by Avatar's Love, Peace, and The Legend of Korra Finale Music. Hope you like it!
I’m really worried about my friends in America. They just had a sweet baby, and the riots are just 20 minutes away. Pray that these criminals don’t hurt them please.
I remember 10 year old me being fervently pro-Kataang, and I can't describe the joy that the last kiss brought to me after one of the best finales for a TV show ever.
OK BUT EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO THIS SONG THIS IS THE SCENARIO THAT PLAYS OUT IN MY HEAD: 00:00-0:39 Katara is on her death bed and ofc it’s very melancholic but she can’t help but be happy because she’ll get to see Aang again so she kind of just closes her eyes and accepts what’s to come 0:39-1:38 She progresses into the spirit world; I like to think the whole “life flashes before her eyes” phenomena happens and she is shown scenes of her life as she passes through it 1:38-2:01 There’s an obscure figure far away and she walks closer towards it. As the music crescendos, the figure gets clearer and clearer until we reach the start of the climax at 2:03 where she finally, 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 falls into Aang’s arms again 2:03-2:50 Epic reunion (hugging/crying/kissing you name it, they’re doing the most rn) 2:50 They walk off into the distance, and as we look at their retreating figures, they morph back into the two kids we were introduced to at the start of the series That was so melodramatic but I had to get this off my CHEST WHEW
Just so you know, katara had to live MANY MANY years without Aang or Sokka. Her two most beloved things in this world. Hopefully they are now happy reunited in the after life.
Reminds me of the pure times.. I started watching this with my brother who was attracted to the message that this show presented.. he passed away at the age of 27 during a period of depression shortly after the passing of my father at 52… I didn’t get to finish the show till recently.. I’m 27 and now I’m getting over all of this and also lost my job and felt like a broken spirit.. watching the rest of the series and especially the part where he goes through his chakras provided so much peace.. I wish this episode was compulsory. I’m trying to watch it with my nephews, like how my brother used to watch it with me, so that they can carry on this pure learning
really sorry for what you gone threw i related in korras moments when she was sick and had no strength anymore, but i have to fight like she i wish you only the best and maybe someday you can show this to your children, would be awesome right
Avatar: The Last Airbender is more than a show to me-it's my healer, my happiness, my inspiration. I want to thank Aang, Sokka, Katara, Zuko, Toph, Ty Lee, Mai, and, of course, Uncle Iroh for showing me the strength, humor, and wisdom in every journey. A huge thank you to the brilliant creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, and their incredible team for bringing this beautiful world to life, and to Samuel Kim and his team for composing such powerful music that captures every emotion beautifully. Thank you
Hasan Usman Netflix is doing a love action version of the show. The original show writers are helping it compared to the terrible movie. So hopefully it comes out good
Thank you. As you said, a Water Tribe peasant is loved by a god. While an Air Nomad with no family, nothing to his name, and forgotten by the world is loved by the girl of his dreams.
From "The Boy In The Iceberg" to "Avatar Aang" and the girl who couldn't waterbend, saving the nation that took her mother away from her. Simply incredible writing.
I always thought Kataang was a cute ship and never had a problem with it, rewatching the show it was a strangers-friends-best friends-lovers slow burn that had my heart melting ❤
“Here is my wisdom to you: Selfless duty calls you to sacrifice your own spiritual need, and do whatever it takes to protect the world.” - Avatar Yangchen. She is my favorite avatar, has done so much for the world and is actually one of the smartest avatars out there.
“Heavy lies the crown, few bear its weight. Those who willingly seek it know its pain. Those whom it’s thrusted upon wear it with a heart stronger than gold itself.” “Why didn’t you tell us that you were the avatar?” “Because I never wanted to be...”
When I heard this all I could imagine was everyone gathered around at Aang’s funeral and near the end we see him meet Sokka in the spirit world and walk into the distance. I’m not crying, you are.
YES! I personally recommend once there were dragons because it sounds kind of similar. Both have this sweet, longing sound that would probably pair well with each other. Samuel, if you see this, can you please try to make it? Or maybe a Flying theme/Aang Faces Ozai mix?
There is just something beautiful and poignant about this piece of music... Really emphasizes the fact that the avatar has spent a thousand lifetimes being born, growing up having met new friends and masters, falling in love and experiencing heartbreak and loss in each incarnation. It's tragic, yet hopeful. The avatar's spirit will never be able to free itself from the earthly plane; in that eternal suffering, the avatar becomes the most powerful force for change because they understand the loss of human life better than anyone. Their love for humanity is pure.
I would give anything to watch this show for the first time again. Every year or so I fall back down the rabbit hole and either watch it all over again or explore videos about it on social media. It'll always feel like home.
In the midst of all this frustration, fear, and anguish, this gave me hope. I felt peaceful for the first time in a couple days, and I'm crying at how beautiful this was. Old or not, proof that music can and will be timeless. Thank you for sharing, Samuel. If one thing is for sure: when words fail, music speaks. And the ost of this show speaks volumes on the potential beauty of humanity, if only we stop fighting and just listen
Despite the show being super old, till this day, I keep crying over scenes like this, now am more older I can really appreciate the work and understand what a masterpiece they've shown us. There will never be a show that gives the same impact as Avatar the last Airbender.
Katara was the Girl from the Small Village, whose mother was killed and had a brother who was a oftentimes immature but with a desire to be a hero. She learns to fight and heal wounds. She becomes the sister that Zuko needs and becomes a mother later in life to three children. She learns that she can still have fun like a child instead of being the mother figure of the group and many other things from Toph and Suki. She becomes a Maternal Warrior-Protector and a Veteran of the war. Sokka was the kid from the little village, who was trained to fight since a young age, who learns to get rid of his misogynistic views and becomes a man and a Veteran. Aang starts off as the goofy new kid on the block, who is a bit of a nerd and has that one understated skill that nobody knows about. He puts that aside for a while to fulfill his destiny as the hero of the world, saving it from the Bullies of the Fire Nation. Zuko is the Exiled Prince with a troubled family and a scarred past and in this case a face full of scars. He is taught by a wise uncle to discover and chart his own destiny and to fulfill it and restore honor to himself and his people. Eventually overthrowing his ruthless father and sister and pardoning his wrongly accused mother. Toph is the Kid with a disability. She cannot see and this effected her life in many ways. She was shielded by her parents but she broke out of this shield, this bubble and discovered her destiny, to teach Aang and to help defeat the Fire Nation. She discovers a sub-skill of her bending art and begins to teach others with this ability and eventually founds a police force and becomes a mother to two daughters. She was unable to see her daughters but could feel their heartbeats, telling her what expression or thought they were thinking, making her an Empath. Suki is the Foreign girl from a distant nation who joins the local kids to save the world, going through prison to do so too. Iroh is the wise mentor who guides Zuko on his path to fulfilling his destiny.
Something Ive realized over time, is that the avatars love is not only played when he had a moment with katara... But, it played when aang gave tom Tom back to his parents, and when he saves the world, and many other moments... I learned that it symbolizes, not only his love for katara but his love for nature, for the world, for life... And it's beautiful
I want this song to be played at my funeral, it’s not sad, it’s nostalgic and i want to everyone remember me with nothing but happiness for the moments we lived together.
2:00 is the most moving piece of music i’ve ever heard i get so many chills while listening to it i can’t believe how much hope and sadness and longing it brings just...perfection
Mans really mastered the elements, defeated the tyrannical Fire Lord, & brought a century of war & destruction to an end in just one year. *_AND_*_ HE GOT THE GIRL._
I love how this is a combination of Peace, The Avatar's Love, and a little bit of the Korra Finale. It is almost symbolic how Peace, Love, and Balance go hand in hand. Love your music man!!
I am not one who likes kissing/hugging endings. But last scene in the last episode, made me not only cry of happiness, but of sadness that it was over, and I accept that kiss. I’m still crying to this day
my childhood memory just flowing along with the song, I remember Avatar used to be broadcasted on sunday morning at 8AM and I'll watch it while eating breakfast every sunday, what a good old days
Just finished rewatching this series for the second time, and listening to this is an amazing way to say goodbye for now. Thanks for sharing, this is amazing!!!
This song makes my Zutara heart want to welcome Kataang in all its cannon form. The OG theme was beautiful and really felt like the beginnings of love. This vaped up version transcended all the feelings Aang must have felt through out his journey as the Avatar but most importantly, the people who where by his side till the end. Beautiful. Stunning. Bravo 👏🏽
This made me cry. It’s so nostalgic and I love every moment of Avatar. Thanks to everyone who helped to develop this amazing and moving show. I don’t know what I would do without avatar. 👍🏻🙏🏻
This series made me tears... Made me a man and gave me a motivation when I am down.. And now I am in a good position.. This is best ever anime I have ever seen in my life!
Avatar and Hey Arnold will forever be the most beautiful & incredibly well-written cartoons in Nickelodeon history. Nothing has or ever will best those two shows. Nothing.
Katara ending up with Aang instead of Zuko was such an important decision. this show was marketed towards kids and so it kind of has a responsibility to teach morality and lessons. In a world where so many shows were marketing the edgy "bad boy" archetype as a love interest (I know it's an overly-simplistic way to characterize zuko, but it is what he is in comparison to Aang); ATLA told kids that your relationship does not need to be a dramatic fight to be legitimate. It also taught kids that love can grow from friendships. You don't need super spicy passion with twists and turns to have a fulfilling love-life because in real life those relationships are often toxic.
Good theory but pls hear me out. I won't say anything bad about Kataang here,but will say something about Zutara. Zutara isn't good girl-bad boy tipe because Zuko isn't bad boy. Zutara will show the kids that when you grow and understand the other person you can find that you are not different. You can leave the past behind and move on. This is such a good massage to send to kids in a world where ,,first crush" is the norm. But I respect your opinion.
@@СветлинЦолов I see where you're coming from, but the thing is Aang wasn't Katara's first crush, she originally sees him as a friend and nothing more. I think Jet was actually her first crush, and so she did learn to grow past her initial feelings and she did move on past that. Another thing is I think it's a good idea to teach kids to incorporate your wants and needs for the future when finding a partner. Think about what Katara loves and wants from her life, she is very family-oriented and wants children to grow up happy and unburdened by the war of her past. She would have HATED being the Firelord's wife, where her children would have to grow up under royal pressures and away from her family in the south pole; to put her in that position would have compromised her entire identity and ideals as a character for a romantic arc.
@@1pink2pink3pink I was talking about Katara being his first crush and even after multiple times she doesn't reciproach back he doesn't look at any other potential option. As for family and stuff. Ursa took care of her children why can't Katara? Also if you have watched LOK 2 of Katara'kids got neglected and she didn't say a thing. What will young viewers learn from Zutara? 1.Balance is a main theme in avatar,Zuko and Katara have it while Katara and Aang don't. On Aang's side it was him crushing on her while she didn't and on Katara it was her taking emotional care to Aang while Aang doesn't,but to have balanced you must have..... 2. Equality: As the series progress Katara is shown to be more and more of Zuko's bending equal,they also have a comparable amount of drive and determination,a moral code that gets changed true the course of the series. 3 Redemption: I guess you already know that but if you don't tell me and I will explain. And 4 freedom of destiny.
@@СветлинЦолов to be fair, I have not seen LOK so my information is solely based on the first series. I think that most people would argue that Ursa was not able to take care of her children and ultimately abandoned them both and they ended up suffering both physically and emotionally because of their royal bloodline. When I said Katara wants family I meant Katara would probably want to live out the rest of her life with her brother and father in the South Pole, as opposed to being entirely alone except for Zuko in the Fire Nation capital. I also think that Zuko's redemption arc didn't need a love interest, he needed to redeem himself in his own eyes and nobody else's. I also don't think matching each other in bending abilities should matter in terms of a significant other. I am not sure what you mean by freedom of destiny, could you explain it?
@@1pink2pink3pink in LOK Aang neglected 2 of 3 kids because they weren't airbenders. And Katara said nothing. Also Katara wasn't living with her family in the south pole but was living on air temple island for 56 years. Even if your prediction aboutZutaraholds up true it won't be much of a difference from the original.Also Zuko and Azula didn't suffer because of their bloodline but because they were living with a psychopath (Ozai). You misunderstood the ,,redemption",i will explain. A large part of Atla focuses on redemption not just of Zuko but of the fire nation as a whole. Things that went wrong in the past can be reflected. This is the Roku/Sozin dynamic that foreshadowed Zuko and Aang. If Zutara happened the massage we got in CO2L would have been carried out flawlessly. Katara gets not a redemption arc but a forgiveness arc with Zuko that helps her let go of the anger that was poisoning her sinse childhood. Also read my article about balance again because you misunderstood everything. Freedom of destiny: remember the fortune teller (and in my opinion the 3rd most anti Kataang episode). The whole purpose of avatar is the freedom of destiny. And what happens in this episode? I think you get the point. And the only reason to disturbe the ongoing lesson about freedom of destiny is for Kataang to happen in the end of the show. It also doesn't hell that BOTH of the endgame pairings a one sided crush begins when one of them is pretty much a child.
Samuel Kim, you've always made phenomenal renditions to songs. But this? The way you personified the lead violin, grasping the desperate, innocent yet hardened love in such way. It's just too beautiful. Thank you so much for your talents, your innovation, sharing all of that with us.
I feel like sora/roxas(kingdom hearts) flying down into the watery depth. Watching my memories of my past until, I hit the sandy bottom and I am reborn again... sorry, this song hits me different. Brilliant job.
I was there during the original series run from 2005 to 2008. Some people were so convinced that Katara was going to end up with Zuko, and not Aang. The rest of us were like "bitch, Katara and Aang have their own theme song".
this music is just so nostalgic that i get a tingle through my whole body and it just puts a sad smile on my face. nostalgia is the best kind of pain. truly nothing can compare to this. nothing.
Dude you keep making me tear up with how beautiful these ATLA songs are. Tbh I watched some of the episodes when this show first came out but stopped cause I lost track.. just finished binging the whole series, and I’m glad I did cause I think I appreciate it a lot more, the thing I don’t appreciate is why there’s only 3 seasons lol!

Wow I never looked at it that way, thats really amazing
Thank you. As you said, a Water Tribe peasant is loved by a god. While an Air Nomad with no family, nothing to his name, and forgotten by the world is loved by the girl of his dreams.
From "The Boy In The Iceberg" to "Avatar Aang" and the girl who couldn't waterbend, saving the nation that took her mother away from her. Simply incredible writing.
This is an extremely emotional version of an already extremely emotional song. Well done.
I always thought Kataang was a cute ship and never had a problem with it, rewatching the show it was a strangers-friends-best friends-lovers slow burn that had my heart melting ❤
*when we hit our lowest point we are open to the greatest change*
I miss Aang and team avatar
same :/
I do too…
yea........it was a good show...........
Me too
Me too😭😭

I like how he has the necklace from Monk Giatso. It's a really nice touch.
He had the necklace at the end of the series
Aang and Katara were truly destined for one another ;-;

“Why didn’t you tell us that you were the avatar?”
“Because I never wanted to be...”
When I heard this all I could imagine was everyone gathered around at Aang’s funeral and near the end we see him meet Sokka in the spirit world and walk into the distance. I’m not crying, you are.
Well, more like Sokka's funeral and meeting Aang in the Spirit World. Aang was the first of The Gaang to die. :(
Honestly This and and a how to train your dragon piece would go together beautifully
Hell yeah🤧🙌
‘How to train your dragon’ would fit Zuko because last week one of his tiny dragons bit my arm he needs to learn how to train them
YES! I personally recommend once there were dragons because it sounds kind of similar. Both have this sweet, longing sound that would probably pair well with each other. Samuel, if you see this, can you please try to make it? Or maybe a Flying theme/Aang Faces Ozai mix?
Hiccstrid!!
"I've always had the lower hand in a fight. But it's what makes me me. It's who I am."
Love this comment man.
That's kinda sad ngl
Who said this?
@@Gadget-Walkmen I think zuko in siege of the north
Alpha Cow what episode or scene?
There is just something beautiful and poignant about this piece of music... Really emphasizes the fact that the avatar has spent a thousand lifetimes being born, growing up having met new friends and masters, falling in love and experiencing heartbreak and loss in each incarnation. It's tragic, yet hopeful. The avatar's spirit will never be able to free itself from the earthly plane; in that eternal suffering, the avatar becomes the most powerful force for change because they understand the loss of human life better than anyone. Their love for humanity is pure.
Beautifully said
You should do the music for Avatar: Rise of the Phoenix King, it’s a fan game
CJ Music is on it and he isn't bad neither. Samuel already has his fanbase making him big
oh god that would be awesome
I've been saying this for months now, so happy someone that had the same idea finally blew up.
That would be 👌
ATLA Is probably the only show where I didn't wish that the story could have been different or better
I think it's the only show I feel the exact same - if not even better - about as I did when I was a child. So well thought out.
I’m being 100% honest, the philosophy of this show changed me as a person so much
I would give anything to watch this show for the first time again. Every year or so I fall back down the rabbit hole and either watch it all over again or explore videos about it on social media. It'll always feel like home.

wtf does this have to do with avatar?
@@tornyiegrace1696 he posts this every time. I think he just wants to see how we react
@@isaac5154 pretty much
Tornyie Grace Probably what happens with their two elements combined.
In the midst of all this frustration, fear, and anguish, this gave me hope. I felt peaceful for the first time in a couple days, and I'm crying at how beautiful this was. Old or not, proof that music can and will be timeless.
Thank you for sharing, Samuel. If one thing is for sure: when words fail, music speaks. And the ost of this show speaks volumes on the potential beauty of humanity, if only we stop fighting and just listen
just imagine this at a kataang wedding. *chefs kiss*
This dude makes fire within 15 minutes everyday.
This show is the only media that can bring me to tears
Despite the show being super old, till this day, I keep crying over scenes like this, now am more older I can really appreciate the work and understand what a masterpiece they've shown us.
There will never be a show that gives the same impact as Avatar the last Airbender.
Katara was the Girl from the Small Village, whose mother was killed and had a brother who was a oftentimes immature but with a desire to be a hero. She learns to fight and heal wounds. She becomes the sister that Zuko needs and becomes a mother later in life to three children. She learns that she can still have fun like a child instead of being the mother figure of the group and many other things from Toph and Suki. She becomes a Maternal Warrior-Protector and a Veteran of the war.
Sokka was the kid from the little village, who was trained to fight since a young age, who learns to get rid of his misogynistic views and becomes a man and a Veteran.
Aang starts off as the goofy new kid on the block, who is a bit of a nerd and has that one understated skill that nobody knows about. He puts that aside for a while to fulfill his destiny as the hero of the world, saving it from the Bullies of the Fire Nation.
Zuko is the Exiled Prince with a troubled family and a scarred past and in this case a face full of scars. He is taught by a wise uncle to discover and chart his own destiny and to fulfill it and restore honor to himself and his people. Eventually overthrowing his ruthless father and sister and pardoning his wrongly accused mother.
Toph is the Kid with a disability. She cannot see and this effected her life in many ways. She was shielded by her parents but she broke out of this shield, this bubble and discovered her destiny, to teach Aang and to help defeat the Fire Nation. She discovers a sub-skill of her bending art and begins to teach others with this ability and eventually founds a police force and becomes a mother to two daughters. She was unable to see her daughters but could feel their heartbeats, telling her what expression or thought they were thinking, making her an Empath.
Suki is the Foreign girl from a distant nation who joins the local kids to save the world, going through prison to do so too.
Iroh is the wise mentor who guides Zuko on his path to fulfilling his destiny.
Something Ive realized over time, is that the avatars love is not only played when he had a moment with katara... But, it played when aang gave tom Tom back to his parents, and when he saves the world, and many other moments... I learned that it symbolizes, not only his love for katara but his love for nature, for the world, for life... And it's beautiful

I want this song to be played at my funeral, it’s not sad, it’s nostalgic and i want to everyone remember me with nothing but happiness for the moments we lived together.
I'm not crying.. You're crying!! 😣
That's rough, buddy.
This is the most original comment I've ever seen
We are both crying
Skadoodle is that you?? 😅😭
Not gonna lie, I totally walked down to this theme at my wedding in June. It's just so stunning :'-)
That's so sweet, did your husband know about the meaning, or did you tell him?🥰💝
Congratulations btw 🤗🎆✨🎊
That's such a childhood dream come true, congrats!!
2:00 is the most moving piece of music i’ve ever heard i get so many chills while listening to it i can’t believe how much hope and sadness and longing it brings just...perfection
God then 2:02 hit, there was no holding back anymore. I cry everytime I hear Avatar Music, childhood really was something huh?
Thank you Samuel!
The melody is lighthearted and sweet, yet deeply mourning and melancholic. Just like Aang and Katara.
0:39 the background string instrument = heaven
I wish I could be Aang and not just for being the avatar but more for the journey that he took, the adventure he experienced with his friends
omg same
Mans really mastered the elements, defeated the tyrannical Fire Lord, & brought a century of war & destruction to an end in just one year.
*_AND_*_ HE GOT THE GIRL._
I'm sad that i'll never get to experience an adventure like that
I love how this is a combination of Peace, The Avatar's Love, and a little bit of the Korra Finale. It is almost symbolic how Peace, Love, and Balance go hand in hand. Love your music man!!
I honestly don't think I've ever been quite so moved by a song in my life. If I have, this just put that behind... I just... wow
this makes me so emotional 😭😭😭I miss aang and katara so much
I am not one who likes kissing/hugging endings. But last scene in the last episode, made me not only cry of happiness, but of sadness that it was over, and I accept that kiss. I’m still crying to this day
This is not just a music, its a memory rooted deep in our minds a memory we want to experience out of the screen, a memory we want to be a reality
I'm totally not crying at this beautiful piece of music from my favorite show of all time.
Could we get maybe a Leaves From The Vine Sad Version next? That would be awesome... in a sad way
The original is the sad version 😭😭
Wait...
There’s a sadder version?
The song carries the sadness
I thought it was that song, and I was ready to come cry here
RIP Mako(the first voice actor of Iroh)
This is Samuel's most underrated soundtracks.
That too for being his own original theme you know for sure this came from the heart.
samuel kim makes the absolute best music for fan edits, this one inspires me to do a avatar edit
Beautiful, in so many ways❤
Please do Little Soldier Boy ( Leaves from the Vine)!!
Are you trying to make us cry??????😭😭😭😭
Brave soldier boy comes marching home...
Pleaseeee
Leaves from the vine...
Falling... so slow🥺...
Like fra...gile😢
Ti...ny😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yes! That song is so pretty and sad♥️
my childhood memory just flowing along with the song, I remember Avatar used to be broadcasted on sunday morning at 8AM and I'll watch it while eating breakfast every sunday, what a good old days
Avatar: The Last Airbender or as I say Aang: The Last Airbender was never meant to be a kid's show, it was meant for all ages, way ahead of its time
Then why was it rated tvy7 instead of G?
more 16-20 yr olds watch it than kids
Bruh this music makes me cry!! It was such an amazing closing to the series! I'm sad it's over, but happy that it happened
I don’t think Korra will ever reach this level of appreciation that Avatar TLA has today
Just finished rewatching this series for the second time, and listening to this is an amazing way to say goodbye for now. Thanks for sharing, this is amazing!!!
This song makes my Zutara heart want to welcome Kataang in all its cannon form. The OG theme was beautiful and really felt like the beginnings of love. This vaped up version transcended all the feelings Aang must have felt through out his journey as the Avatar but most importantly, the people who where by his side till the end. Beautiful. Stunning. Bravo 👏🏽
I've always hated Zutara. It makes no sense narratively.
Okay Mr. Debbie Downer. No need to go raining on other people’s parade. 😶😶😶
@@andythewarriorwang4755 nobody asked.
@@andythewarriorwang4755 I am a kataanger too but that's not really nice.
This made me cry. It’s so nostalgic and I love every moment of Avatar. Thanks to everyone who helped to develop this amazing and moving show. I don’t know what I would do without avatar. 👍🏻🙏🏻
Damn honestly tho that cello in 1:08 pulled my heartstrings 😥😢😭
No matter what happens in the future… Avatar: The Last Airbender will never lose its place...

I would listen to this as a kid to go to sleep. Hearing it again in this format makes me tear up with so many good memories. Thank you for this.
This is one of the most beautiful renditions I’ve ever heard, genuinely
This series made me tears... Made me a man and gave me a motivation when I am down.. And now I am in a good position.. This is best ever anime I have ever seen in my life!
This is just flat out one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard!!!!
Avatar and Hey Arnold will forever be the most beautiful & incredibly well-written cartoons in Nickelodeon history. Nothing has or ever will best those two shows. Nothing.
Katara ending up with Aang instead of Zuko was such an important decision. this show was marketed towards kids and so it kind of has a responsibility to teach morality and lessons. In a world where so many shows were marketing the edgy "bad boy" archetype as a love interest (I know it's an overly-simplistic way to characterize zuko, but it is what he is in comparison to Aang); ATLA told kids that your relationship does not need to be a dramatic fight to be legitimate. It also taught kids that love can grow from friendships. You don't need super spicy passion with twists and turns to have a fulfilling love-life because in real life those relationships are often toxic.
Good theory but pls hear me out. I won't say anything bad about Kataang here,but will say something about Zutara. Zutara isn't good girl-bad boy tipe because Zuko isn't bad boy. Zutara will show the kids that when you grow and understand the other person you can find that you are not different. You can leave the past behind and move on. This is such a good massage to send to kids in a world where ,,first crush" is the norm. But I respect your opinion.
@@СветлинЦолов I see where you're coming from, but the thing is Aang wasn't Katara's first crush, she originally sees him as a friend and nothing more. I think Jet was actually her first crush, and so she did learn to grow past her initial feelings and she did move on past that. Another thing is I think it's a good idea to teach kids to incorporate your wants and needs for the future when finding a partner. Think about what Katara loves and wants from her life, she is very family-oriented and wants children to grow up happy and unburdened by the war of her past. She would have HATED being the Firelord's wife, where her children would have to grow up under royal pressures and away from her family in the south pole; to put her in that position would have compromised her entire identity and ideals as a character for a romantic arc.
@@1pink2pink3pink I was talking about Katara being his first crush and even after multiple times she doesn't reciproach back he doesn't look at any other potential option. As for family and stuff. Ursa took care of her children why can't Katara? Also if you have watched LOK 2 of Katara'kids got neglected and she didn't say a thing.
What will young viewers learn from Zutara? 1.Balance is a main theme in avatar,Zuko and Katara have it while Katara and Aang don't. On Aang's side it was him crushing on her while she didn't and on Katara it was her taking emotional care to Aang while Aang doesn't,but to have balanced you must have..... 2. Equality:
As the series progress Katara is shown to be more and more of Zuko's bending equal,they also have a comparable amount of drive and determination,a moral code that gets changed true the course of the series. 3 Redemption: I guess you already know that but if you don't tell me and I will explain.
And 4 freedom of destiny.
@@СветлинЦолов to be fair, I have not seen LOK so my information is solely based on the first series.
I think that most people would argue that Ursa was not able to take care of her children and ultimately abandoned them both and they ended up suffering both physically and emotionally because of their royal bloodline. When I said Katara wants family I meant Katara would probably want to live out the rest of her life with her brother and father in the South Pole, as opposed to being entirely alone except for Zuko in the Fire Nation capital. I also think that Zuko's redemption arc didn't need a love interest, he needed to redeem himself in his own eyes and nobody else's.
I also don't think matching each other in bending abilities should matter in terms of a significant other.
I am not sure what you mean by freedom of destiny, could you explain it?
@@1pink2pink3pink in LOK Aang neglected 2 of 3 kids because they weren't airbenders. And Katara said nothing. Also Katara wasn't living with her family in the south pole but was living on air temple island for 56 years. Even if your prediction aboutZutaraholds up true it won't be much of a difference from the original.Also Zuko and Azula didn't suffer because of their bloodline but because they were living with a psychopath (Ozai). You misunderstood the ,,redemption",i will explain. A large part of Atla focuses on redemption not just of Zuko but of the fire nation as a whole. Things that went wrong in the past can be reflected. This is the Roku/Sozin dynamic that foreshadowed Zuko and Aang. If Zutara happened the massage we got in CO2L would have been carried out flawlessly. Katara gets not a redemption arc but a forgiveness arc with Zuko that helps her let go of the anger that was poisoning her sinse childhood. Also read my article about balance again because you misunderstood everything. Freedom of destiny: remember the fortune teller (and in my opinion the 3rd most anti Kataang episode). The whole purpose of avatar is the freedom of destiny. And what happens in this episode? I think you get the point. And the only reason to disturbe the ongoing lesson about freedom of destiny is for Kataang to happen in the end of the show. It also doesn't hell that BOTH of the endgame pairings a one sided crush begins when one of them is pretty much a child.
Samuel Kim, you've always made phenomenal renditions to songs. But this? The way you personified the lead violin, grasping the desperate, innocent yet hardened love in such way. It's just too beautiful. Thank you so much for your talents, your innovation, sharing all of that with us.
the first few times they kiss Aang is the one who kisses Katara, but in the last scene is Katara the one who kisses Aang.
Yeah exactly wow

This music is literally Kataang’s soundtrack and it’s so beautiful 💕💕
One of the greatest pieces of music to ever exist
The dislikes are Zutara and Taang shippers.
Yup lmao they big mad 😂
Taang was an actual ship? I always shipped Tokka
I still liked this despite being a taang shipper 💕
I like this a lot despite shipping Zutara
@@ulyssesbutterfly6697 taang is still cute tho
I feel like sora/roxas(kingdom hearts) flying down into the watery depth. Watching my memories of my past until, I hit the sandy bottom and I am reborn again... sorry, this song hits me different. Brilliant job.
I was there during the original series run from 2005 to 2008. Some people were so convinced that Katara was going to end up with Zuko, and not Aang.
The rest of us were like "bitch, Katara and Aang have their own theme song".

This music is so emotionally heavy dude. My goodness
this music is just so nostalgic that i get a tingle through my whole body and it just puts a sad smile on my face. nostalgia is the best kind of pain. truly nothing can compare to this. nothing.
This put a smile on my face.
Dude you keep making me tear up with how beautiful these ATLA songs are. Tbh I watched some of the episodes when this show first came out but stopped cause I lost track.. just finished binging the whole series, and I’m glad I did cause I think I appreciate it a lot more, the thing I don’t appreciate is why there’s only 3 seasons lol!
