"Leaves From the Vine" [Extended Ver.] - AVATAR: TLA - Cover by Caleb Hyles 

Be the person that Mister Rogers & Uncle Iroh know you can be.

Childhood is being sad because Iroh was saying goodbye to his son. Adulthood is realizing Mako was saying goodbye to us.

Iroh didn't leave us, he simply went to have some tea with his son

No I'm not crying you are ; o ;

I feel like each verse could be for different characters: Verse 1 is for Iroh losing his son too soon. Verse 2 is for Sokka & Katara dealing with their broken family and broken nation, just wanting their father to come back from war. Verse 3 is for Zuko feeling lost and nearly hopeless for so long thinking the approval of his father is the only way to regain his honor and literally return home. Verse 4 is for Aang having lost his people and no longer having the same home to return to. Verse 5 is for in the end where Iroh now has a son in Zuko, Sokka & Katara's family is reunited, Zuko finds his true self, and Aang has a new family and can now rebuild his nation. They all find home again.

When you watched Avatar ten minutes ago and Caleb’s video be like:

As a child, you thought this song was Iroh saying goodbye to his son. As an adult, you realize it was Mako saying goodbye to us

I find it genuinely incredible that even 15 years after his passing, Mako still has art dedicated to his memory.

The day the fire nation attacked.... May Mako rest in peace.

I'm not crying my eyes are just water bending

A canon complete version of “Leaves From The Vine” doesn’t exi-

"Happy birthday my son. If only I could have helped you..." Iroh R.I.P. Mako I'm sure he'd be honored by this

Imagine being heir apparent of a powerful kingdom and about to invade the biggest nation in the world. You get through their legendary outer defenses and then find out you lost your child in the war you're fighting. Iroh went through deep and tragic shit.

I did not watch the video. I do not intend on watching it. But I left my support with a like and comment. Edit: I can't watch it because I do not intend on crying today. Edit2: I'm currently crying while listening

Caleb woke up this morning and chose violence. This is beautiful, but it’s so painful.

Just wrote out the Lyrics on a whim: Leaves from the vine Falling so slow Like fragile, tiny shells Drifting in the foam Little solider boy, come marching home Brave solider boy, come marching home Leaves from the vine, in orange glow A sun setting in the sky, the edges cracked though whole Little solider boy, what’s left of home Brave solider boy, please come back home Leaves in the grass, their numbers grow Clinging to the vine, not knowing what’s below Little solider boy, can I come home Brave solider boy, will I come home Leaves on the wind, where do they go They flutter, spin, and drift along Dancing to the flow Little solider boy, where is your home Brave solider boy, no longer home No longer home No longer home No longer home Leaves from the vine Falling so slow Like fragile, tiny shells Drifting in the foam Little Solider boy, come marching home Brave solider boy, now I am home

Here come the tears people, here come the tears 😭

I cried. Caleb why did you have to play with our heart strings,We all miss uncle. 🍵 Tea anyone

Jon: *releases a song with Ninja Brian* Caleb: *punishes Jon cheating on him but making us ALL cry*

Steps for listening to this song (especially this gorgeous cover): 1) Try not to cry. 2) Cry a lot. 3) Try to figure out if you're crying because of the song, or because Caleb is an angel, or both. 4) Cry some more. 5) Smile while still crying because you have been graced with this masterpiece.

They should have shown his son when we saw him in the spirit world that would have been amazing

We've all seen caleb sing but I would love to see him try his hand at voice acting, he already worked on RWBY lets see caleb the huntsman

"Leaves in the grass, their numbers grow" is such a raw line and it hit me so much harder than I thought it would. That whole verse really

Goodbye mako may the freedom of the afterlife give you eternal bliss, we all will miss you.😢

Mako, rest in peace. Little soldier boy, come marching home...

A pelican feels special that he is early.... this song always fills my eyes with tears thank you for doing it Caleb

We used this for my uncle and grandfather passing. Both of them were soldier’s in the us army. We like to thank you for singing this beautiful song

Soldiers "We are as in autumn on branches the leaves" -Poem by Giuseppe Ungaretti about the soldiers who fought WWI

RU-vid recommended me this :0 why must they do this ;-;

Ah damnit, my tearbending ducts are acting up again.

Uncle Iroh taught me to be a better person. In a way... he was all of our Uncles

As someone who grew up with Avatar, it getting so much attention and love lately makes me immensely happy. The franchise is a legendary masterpiece in every way. I still rewatch and reread everything every one or two years and never get bored.

Usually covers for songs like this are terrible, but this one is truly beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes, thank you 🙏

Lost my only child and son at 3 weeks old due to a heart condition...this song makes me sob... Love your version. Oooo Iroh

When my grandfather passed I listened to this song repeatedly. Don't know why but it brought me a lot of comfort. This June'll make five years since he's been gone.

In times of peace, Sons bury their fathers. In times of war, fathers bury their sons. The fact Irohs son was dead had been revealed earlier in the show but we only got it in passing conversation. To see that Iroh was still so broken by his son's death is enough to drive anyone to get misty eyed. Thank you Mako for bringing this character to life for as long as you did.

Wasn’t expecting to cry today Caleb😤 that’s Illegal

Ackkk hearing this extended version hurts and it makes me think about what would happen in the Avatar Universe, like imagine other people singing this same song throughout the pass of time and adding parts

Every time i hear this i cry, Uncle Iroh was an inspiration to us all, and Mako put all of himself into Iroh. Without Mako, a legend will never be the same.

This is one of those scenes that truly elevates Avatar: the Last Airbender to being a great show, along with what I consider my favorite show. It takes powerful moments for a good show to become a great one, after all.

This song with caleb's voice is so graceful

NO NO NO NO CALEB WHY YOU GOTTA DO THIS TO ME?!? I ALREADY CRIED WAY TOO MANY TIMES ON THIS 😭😭😭

This was literally the moment that everyone fell in love with Iroh. To this day I can’t help but cry when I hear the song

I have listened to just about every cover of Leaves from the Vine for the past two years, and this is the most faithful and poetic, Mako would be proud of this.

**video has barely begun** TEARS IN MY EYES!!!

So beautiful...

Rest in peace, Mako. Your Uncle Iroh is an inspiration to everyone who meets you through him.

Little soldier boy, goes marching home... Brave soldier boy, you are now home. Mako, the one and true Uncle Iroh-the greatest man ever depicted in animation; humble, sincere, loyal and selflessly kind. R.I.P., Uncle. R.I.P. And thank you, Caleb Hyles, for strumming our heartstrings with this wonderful rendition and expansion of his signature song.

Little Caleb boy comes marching with this amazing song

When you're already working on a fic that revolves around this song and the person singing it

I watched my grandfather, soldier of the US Army, was buried this week and I still remember the three words of Honor, Duty, Country. He was my family's soldier and to hear this song now has given me such a new meaning for me. A mountain man, Forester, State trooper, soldier of the forgotten war (Korea), a devoted Christian, construction worker, most importantly a family man. He showed me what it truly meant to be a man and what it meant to be there for myself and others...he pushed me on the right path, I will never be able to pay him back. He pushed to do whatever he wanted, no matter how much it hurt him, he never stopped even though his back killed him to the point of screaming, stubborn bastard I miss you. I wish I knew him more and had more time with him, he is with God now, ready for his next adventure and finally at peace with his wife there to greet him. I miss them so much... I love you grandma and grandpa.

I swear I always cry to this song. I thought "Oh, it isn't Iroh singing it this time. I'll be okay" NOPE. CALEB GOT ME SINGING ALONG AND CRYING WHILE DOING SO. Very good job, sir! You're the best!

Ah yes, I was just thinking to myself: "I heaven't cried enough today" And here you are! Fantastic!

Transformed it from a lament to a hopeful song, loved it

Oh god no I just still remember that Iroh's voice actor literally cried during the audition bcz he knew he will die soon of cancer... I'm crying I'm seriously crying right now 😭 Rest in peace Mako We will remember you for forever ❤️

The transition from black to white hit me in the chest and Caleb’s voice is just so full of emotion! The animation really got me and now I feel like I have to go watch all of ATLA again!

The feels of ba sing se.

my dad died when i was 3, only a year earlirr than the guy who played iroh, and how poetic that he was able to teach some damn fatherly lessons to me from beyond the grave.

R.I.P Makoto. You were the uncle everyone needed, the time wizard everyone feared, and the man we all wish we could be. I look forward to introducing my children to the work you poured your heart into for our enjoyment. You'll forever be missed ❤

I never cry during movies and shows. Hearing Iroh cry and sing for his son was/is the closest I’ve ever gotten, no matter how many times I watch that scene. Edit: Accidentally put “seen” instead of “scene”.

'"Leaves From the Vine" [Extended Ver.]' AKA me crying for 4 minutes straight

This song is something that should be sung to children. We all want a home and a reason to move forward.

”Now I am home" Gave me a goosebumps

Two years since this cover was released. Two years since it first tugged at our hearts… and it still brings us to tears. Sixteen years since we lost the voice of our Uncle, and we still weep with him, for the Uncle we lost. We know him well, for he is always with us in our hearts. That ache will never truly leave, but we wouldn’t want it too. Because it reminds us who he was to us. Mako is, was, and always will be our Uncle Iroh. Thank you again for this cover, Caleb. It is a treasure beyond words, a comfort in troubling times, a reminder of a beloved Uncle, a testament to a friend we all would welcome back into our lives happily. “In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.” “While it is always best to believe in one’s self, a little help from others can be a great blessing.” R.I.P., Uncle Iroh.

At the same time Uncle Iroh was wishing his son farewell... Mako, a legend of television, was using the same song to say goodbye to all his fans. From the oldest to the youngest. I remember him from M*A*S*H, Samurai Jack, and Avatar. As far as voicework goes, he worked hard. Farewell, Mako. Though I wish many of us could have said it while you were still here to hear us and know how many lives you touched.

Unexpected video, but appreciated.

They say princess do not cry but they do and Man also do but shy to admit. "There no shame in fear but letting fear rule you!" ~King leading his man ever if the have no chance to win

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Caleb. This has been the worst week of my life thus far because of some heavy losses but this song reminded me of our Uncle Iroh who lost everything he held dear and pushed forward with nothing but kindness and love for those around him.

In my almost 28 years no song has ever made me cry as hard as this. Man, Iroh was a different type of character. Some people never seen some of the mid 2000s greatest shows and it shows. And this episode..... man now I'm crying

HERE COMES THE FEELS

I cry every time i listen to Iroh sing this. And i am so glad i grew up with this show

God it has been 16 years since Mako passed. This cover hits so hard. I miss Uncle Iroh. 😭

Ready for the awesome voice of Caleb? Yes Excited? Yes Know it's gonna be beautiful? Yes. Hotel? Trivago.

Caleb Caleb Caleb. You have out done yourself this time. You may or may have not known the hearts and lives you were going to touch when you took this on. You did it anyway. To portray, convey, the emotion and love took a measure of bravery. Yes, I'll cry every time. For all those we have lost. Thank you for such a wonderful tribute.

Caleb voice really hits the ever feeling and hardships that each character has went through especially Mako having to say goodbye to us and just the pain he must of been feeling knowing he was dying of cancer.

I may be one year into being an Avatar fan, but I can still understand how sad this is. every time I watch this, i cry to this.

This cover makes me feel like this is Iroh’s son singing this song to himself to remind himself of Iroh as he’s dying but he knows it won’t happen. It has such a sad melancholy feeling and it’s beautiful

I'm not crying, you are!😫😭😭😭

I'll admit, this got me crying. THIS SHOW COULD REALLY MAKE YOU LAUGH AT THE DUMBEST THING, THEN TURN AROUND AND HIT YOU WITH A RIGHT HOOK TO THE FEELS!

I want this to be played during my funeral, I'm not a boy but still, this is just amazing, I'm not crying.

I love this song so much. I know it’s about Iroh singing to his son but I have a different view of it. The brave soldier boy is our happiness. It might not come soon or at all but we can never lose hope. Iroh lost his son but he found Zuko. We lost our happiness but we can find a new form of happiness. It won’t be the same but never shut it down. Let it slowly fill you up so that you can get better. Thank you for this beautiful cover, Caleb

Holy sh*t, how did I only just realise the added verses are about Zuko? Fall is book 1 and early book 2, Zuko desperately wanting to find his way home and regain that lost honour, pining for the life he thinks he lost. Winter is book 2 and early book 3, Zuko questioning where home is, first considering making a home in the earth kingdom then questioning why he feels he doesn't belong when he gets back home to the fire nation Spring is him finding a true home among team avatar, finding genuine friends and, eventually, finding and reconciling with Iroh

Am crying this will all make me cry my girl gets me with it all time makes u human and humble

No matter how many times I hear this, no matter how many times I see this episode. I still cry at this song.

I just breathe in and out as time seems to slow alowing me to take this in.

I think Caleb is tryna make us cry, this is so beautiful 😭😭😭 God, when I first heard this song I cried. Are you really tryna make us cry man? Your voice is to beautiful for this.

I think the changing of the seasons in the background is really poetic. It shows how as people pass, the months, seasons, and even years pass by as the rest of the world moves on. But that's the most important part. The fact that we're able to move on and live our best in honor of those we loved, the same people that we lost.

You sang this song beautifully my Mako rest in peace.

Caleb I'm not ready for ths one- Oh gosh I'm gonna cry. Rest in peace, Mako.

May your soul rest, Mako. You are always a Legend. So long, Uncle.

The lyrics didn't even BEGIN and I started tearing up!

If the original song would make me cry this version broke me on tears i'm literally on the floor 😭💖

That was gorgeous and full of melancholia

Who would dislike this?!?! I'm currently rewatching the whole series. At age 30. It's - to this day - one of the most well- made, kid-oriented shows that I know. The episode this one's in gets me everytime. Uncle Iroh is one of the best mentor type characters I ever came across. You did great on this one, @Caleb 🥰

Found this again and still makes me cry hearing it as someone who grew up watching the show... This cover is so good and I still come back to it sometimes at random...

No matter who sings this song it always makes you cry!😢

Almost exactly a year ago, I lost my best friend. He was a soldier, and took his own life. I didn't come here for that, I just started a Playlist of caleb's songs and this came up, and I broke down. I'm sure he would have loved this. RIP.

I am in tears. Your tribute to Mako is beautiful and I'm sure he would have been honored by this rendition.

This is basically for the men and women who are out there fighting wars who give their lives to protect their loved ones

Never thought one of Caleb Hyles’ videos would make me shed a tear ;-;
