The whole story of Iroh in that short story is a reflection on how he helps a little kid who's crying, then he helps teens and teaches them about respect and owning up to ones' errors, and finally he helps a joung adult who has no one to believe in him. Believing in him, and encouraging to be better. Iroh helps these people representing each of the stages of life. "Happy Birthday my Son, if only i could have helped you" Saddest words i've heard in a show, because we see a wise and older Iroh taking plessure in having helped these people, we feel that although he was a good father, he wishes he could have been wiser enough to avoid war and helped Lu Ten avoid it and thus be alive. Really its sad on every level
#tearbending! My older sis who is like 20 cry's everytime she here's this! My DAD gets sad My brother doesn't care ( 99% sure he is osia!) My mom gets sad I go in a corner crying eating ice cream while singing " lItTlE sOlDeR bOy CoMe MaRcHiNG HoMe!" While my friend says I look I like I'm going through a brake up when my family has died when the world is ending....😭😭😭😭😭
Okay, but am I the only one who finds it depressing that we never actually meet Iroh's son through a flashback? It just really cements the fact he's gone
[Beautiful kalimba intro] Leaves from the vine, falling so slow. Like fragile, tiny shells, drifting in the foam. Little soldier boy, come marching home. Brave soldier boy, come marching home. [Quiet humming as sobs are repressed and the kalimba instrumental is still so damn beautiful] 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. [kalimba instrumental picks up again but this time it's joined by the wails of the viewer as we all cry] Leaves from the vines, 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.
@@Therealfredbear I was looking for a comment like this, it made it so much sadder when I realized that “ash in the snow” was from blame towards the war.
HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CRY WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE ;( The voice actor for Iroh, Mako, died of cancer while recording avatar. Mako was literally Iroh in real-life- passionate, forgiving, sweet, and this was the last thing Mako recorded before passing away
And he wasnt acting during the song, he was actually crying alot know hes gonna die soon, R.I.P Mako aka Iroh you will *always* be remembered by everyone who has watched ATLA. 😢💖⚘
@@haaishamid1870 very well... you shall teach them the art of Tea and also be a good Iroh, we had him, now that he is gone (character) we shall remember him...forever
When I went to war in Afghanistan years back, I thought of this song alot. Glad there is a full version of it. I lost brothers I will never be able to see again. This song is a pure manifestation of the feelings their parents and I had. Til Valhalla Heinzle, Clemenz and Brauner. You'll be in my heart forever.
May they all rest in peace.. And thank you for your service, You are well appriciated. Just keep on fighting trough. In life there are many fights we have to go trought to survive this battel called life, and i belive that greif and loss of a loved one are the hardest. I haven't still gotten over the people i have lost trough out these few years i have lived my life. I hope you are doing well now and that you can continue batteling forward. Just know that your loving brothers are watching over you. So just stay strong!❤
Thank you for your service and you may have gotten this a lot but i genuinely mean this when i say i am very sorry for your lost and i dont know what to say besides that and that i hope that they will rest in peace
@@VoidTroopiez It's great to hear that your doing alright, you deserve to be happy for all you've went through. And yes you should remember all the happy times you had whit them. I send lots of love and prayers to you and your family. ❤
I'm so glad that even after all these years people are still giving Mako and this song the love and respect that they deserve. We will never forget that man and the day we do the world will be in a dark place just for this song to help bring it back
Honestly I've had no real meaningful relationship with my extended family (uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins). I wish I had someone who cared about me like Iroh does with Lu Ten and Zuko.
Yeah! School teaches you things you will never use and iroh tought us to keep an open mind, to always see the light at the end of the tunnel, look for the light instead of the dark. The list can go on. Thank you iroh for teaching me the most important things! Excuse me while I go tear bend
For me, this song always really put into perspective why Iroh did everything he did. The scene when him and Zuko are at the southern water tribe and Iroh tells him that he thinks of Zooks as his son was always heartwarming, but listening to this song and rewatching it... damn. When Zuko was heading out that night, Iroh truly feared losing him. He tries to keep it lighthearted, you can hear the sorrow in his voice. aaaand I've made myself sad.
I love how the entire ATLA fanbase worships Iroh and wishes he was their own uncle. This is how you create a memorable character. You’ll never be forgotten, Mako. Thank you for touching the hearts of millions of people
The real story behind this is when mako found out that he was dying from cancer he wrote this song..and, the new actor that plays him now refuses to sing that sone because it belongs to make the guy who unfortunately died from cancer this is why he didn’t say much in the first season that much and some of the the second season as well..and in the legend of kora one of the characters was named after him..nobody will forget you, mako ❤️
Mako did not write the song. He sang it. It was written by Jeremy Zuckerman. The kicker is it finally hit him that he was about to die from cancer, and that's why he cried in the recording of it. This is all extremely easy information to find.
The combination of "forced to fight a war that was not his own" and "brave soldier boy, never made it home" broke me. I swear it hurts me to a level I can't really explain.
For me it’s the idea that the boy was taken to fight for something he either didn’t believe in or was misled into believing in, in the case of Lu Ten, the war the Fire Nation was waging against the other nations, and died for a cause that was never worth fighting for. It’s the idea that he and so many others were fighting a war that, really, was about the greed of those who profited off of it, who kept it going, and that this greed marched people to their deaths and left their families to grieve them.
I lost my grandpa a few days ago to diabetes, he was 88 and tried his best to live the final days of his life and my parents and uncle and aunt bashed him when he didn’t take his meds for a day. He would always be happy and comfortable with me and always made sure I knew I was his favourite since I always talked calmly to him. I rewatched Tales of Ba Sing Se today and searched up LFTV and just watched videos. Your video genuinely made me cry some happy yet saddening tears, your voice just making an already beautiful song perfect. Thank you for this masterpiece and making my day a little more enjoyable
I just finished recovering from the last line: “My little soldier boy I need you home” I was not expecting that. Absolutely gut wrenching. I lost my brother in March 2021 and yesterday was his birthday. Thank you for helping me cry it out.
Man, this really made me think about Iroh's character as a whole. He was a happy father, who was a successful war general living a relitively happy life with the people he loved. Then his son, and I'm assuming his wife as well, eventually died in the upcoming years. He couldn't hold his place as a general, he needed to grieve. He was seen as a failure because of this, and was treated with about the same respect Zuko would get. Iroh tried his best with Zuko, but Zuko constantly rejected him. Iroh somehow continued to stay positive however, and kept trying with his Nephew. He eventually got through to him, and he went on the positive path Iroh wanted for him. Iroh didn't deserve any of this man, it makes me really sad thinking about it and how much I just saw it as "haha funny" when Zuko got angry with him. Thank you for this amazing cover, I've been sobbing listening to it for the past hour and my pillow is soaked in tears now 👏
Was rewatching avatar for fun, this song hit me so hard almost a whole year after one of my best friends died in a car accident, this song hit me so hard that I had to find a full version. This version brought tears to my eyes, rest in peace Ian, I hope you found your calling in the sky brother, I love you.
I love this so much It made me cry Uncle Irho is the best person ever in Avatar the last Airbender and still in The Legend's of Korra this is so beautiful and amazing I love your voice
When I first heard this song, I didn’t understand and was like “okay, that’s strange”, but now hearing the reason is sad, I cried, I tried holding my tears, cuz usually I cry in movies but this song changed everything of what I thought, it was the first song I have ever cried to. Imagine someone you love so deeply, and then seeing them die is like a shattered heart, not trying to tell my story but, when I was young, I was in a car accident, after I woke up in the hospital, I didn’t remember anything, a few weeks later I found out my dad had died, and when I got that news it felt like I died, because me and my dad were so close and then hearing that he had died, was hard for me, after I couldn’t interact with anyone at my school cuz I was different, I had a scar in my face which I thought would never go away. When I got to middle school my scar was gone and I had a new dad again, I was recovering again, I had hope that I could live again. Now hearing this song made me realize losing someone hurts even the person who is close to you, it’s hard recovering after a loss, may it be a son, a Brother, or a dad. Give thanks for mako for making this emotional song cuz with this song, it brought people to give thanks to him.
From the moment I met Uncle Iroh in the series, I immediately loved him and how he complimented Zuko’s temper by being calm and cheery. Always he was there, gently guiding Zuko and loving him like the son he never got to. Being the father Zuko really needed. He may have had a rough start, but he realized his choices were wrong; and strove as hard as he could to fix them later in life. We’ll all miss you Uncle Iroh. Mako. Thank you for this beautifully heart-wrenching song for us to remember you by. I hope you and your son are together now, happy and at peace with Zuko’s mother, Katara and Sokka’s mother, Monk Giatso, and Princess Yuae. I’m gonna go hug my pillow and cry now. Thank you.
This is a song about a man lost son. But also a goodbye for someone who’s voice will remain in our hearts. But to me it’s a reminder of all the ones gone but never forgotten R.I.P grandma...wish you stayed a bit longer.
My friend and I were looking through ATLA music for inspiration for a fanfiction we are co-writing then we found this, your Ursa Lullaby, and your Azula song. We were amazed and absolutely awed at your talent but what shocked us the most was this song very rendition of Leaves From the Vine. We listened to it over and over again and realized that this song fits the themes we were going for and matches the relationship and journeys the main characters go through together to a T. Also, we both think you sang this song beautifully and captured the essence of the song incredibly.
even as an extended cover, I can still feel the sadness and mourning that Iroh goes through. not just for the loss of his son(which is painful in itself), but also for the suffering he has been forced to watch his nephew(Zuko) go through, do to his cruel brother and niece. I've always loved Iroh's character even if he is technically supporting cast.
I just want Uncle Iroh to hug me, and rock me in his arms and tell me, "Its gonna be ok, it will be ok, you will be ok, my little fighter". STOP I AM CRYING
Dam I saw this in a comment on iFunny that there was a full version of this song but it was just the lyrics I wanted to listen to it. This did not disappoint and I feel like my emotions hit me like a truck, Thank You for being a part of something beautiful!
I know what the correlation to this song is for uncle, but when I think of it in a wider sense such as all the people who fought in war like WW1, WW2, KOREAN, VIETNAM and many more sadly. I just think of all the soldiers that didn't want to be there. What their thoughts could have been, some reduced to children wishing to see they're parents, some void of emotions simply to avoid the trauma and others losing their minds out of the gruesome reality that is war. I just can't even imagine the scenarios well enough to even connect with them, but I can already feel a bit of the terror that was their life and it's tragic man...
"You're not being the person Uncle Iroh knew you could be," Will always be my go to when someone my age is being rude. If it hits then it deals so much emotional damage.
Whenever I search up leaves from the vine I get multiple try not to cry challenges that don’t even have leaves from the vine in them. Meaning that the UA-cam algorithm has directly linked this song to crying.
I heard this from Obscuritea’s Little Soldier Boy and it made me cry so now I am devoted to learning it. Even if I haven’t watched Avatar. Amazing voice by the way. You are an amazing and beautiful singer!
This song always makes me cry, but it helps me remember the "Uncle Irohs" ive had in my life, my Grandma Jean, my Grandpa Joe, and my cat Dusty. While they are all gone now, they were there for me, and i miss them everyday.
This song made me teary, I lost my grandfather back when I was only 10 years old...he was my best friend and would defend me from my father....he was my only healthy male role model in my life.. he was in the military for 22 years and suffered from PTSD.. We always watched the original version of Rudolph the red nose reindeer together on Christmas Eve.. he would’ve been somewhere in his 90s at this point I miss him more everyday, I haven’t been able to watch since I wish I could’ve said goodbye to him
This music made me feel... something. It was painful and endearing at the same time. I cried every time I heard, but kept replaying again again like I was looking for something. It's... wonderful
You know what nice? Singing and Harmonizing with you. I'm not nearly as good as you but there are small moments that I can hear myself harmonize with one of your voices, makes me a lil happier from the mood of the beautifully sad song.
This song always breaks my heart.. I have a problem where I get unnaturally attached to character’s if I enjoyed the show so this broke me when I found out the back-round for Iroh and his voice mako… I first watched avatar when I was very young, I’m still young but understand the concept of death and loss more now and I can’t even think how guilty and sorrowful he must be that his son died in a war started by his own blood ): I could go on about this for hours but probably shouldn’t, hearing this song never fails to bring me to tears
This song warms my heart so much❤ A year ago my grandma died to covid and my whole family were crying for so long😢 And this song reminds me so so much abt it The voice is beautiful and I love the lyrics and to know what happened to the voice actor of Iroh made me cry I love this song❤❤❤
For the love of the all father... this made me cry so damn hard... I'll never forget the Legend Mako and this is single greatest role. The casting was beyond perfect
Can I say I'm in love with a person just by listening to its voice? I've been listening to Reinaery these past few days and god dammit, your voice is so beautiful, your original songs and covers make me so happy and relaxed.
Brooo why all your song and covers gotta make me cry 😭😭 Ever tried a more uplifting song? Like idk the secret tunnel one (which is lowkey a bop of you ask me)
This song makes me think of my little cousin she was placed into foster care at 2 and she will be 3 soon and I just wanna hug her and say “little soldier girl come marching home” I love her I miss her.
I remember watching Avatar as a kid but not episode for episode. Now I’m watching it in my 20’s & there’s so much more you notice. There’s so much beauty to it & very few cartoons really make me feel this way.
my eyes are water bending

The whole story of Iroh in that short story is a reflection on how he helps a little kid who's crying, then he helps teens and teaches them about respect and owning up to ones' errors, and finally he helps a joung adult who has no one to believe in him. Believing in him, and encouraging to be better.
Iroh helps these people representing each of the stages of life.
"Happy Birthday my Son, if only i could have helped you"
Saddest words i've heard in a show, because we see a wise and older Iroh taking plessure in having helped these people, we feel that although he was a good father, he wishes he could have been wiser enough to avoid war and helped Lu Ten avoid it and thus be alive.
Really its sad on every level

Maybe it does, but what makes grief stronger is the memory of them. It just would have been nice to have met Lu Ten.
You made it ten times sadder for me
@@thomass1086 He was pretending to shoot Iroh with lightning, after Azula did that for real in the previous episode.
Leaves from the Vine is the song of a generation, prove me wrong.
Song of *the* generation**
Prove you wrong? Okay,
Youre wrong.
Its the sing of an era.
Nah bro it’s the song of forever, not just this generation or era
Long live uncle iroh. For your song shall then, now and forever live in our hearts.
I can't sorry
Adding ‘my’ to that last “little soldier boy” just made it hit 100 times harder. 2:40

and then 'i need you home' right after
If you listen really carfally you can here me tearbending

come marching home.
[Quiet humming as sobs are repressed and the kalimba instrumental is still so damn beautiful]
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.

fallen in the war.

I need you home.
Brave soldier boy,
come marching home.

Nah man. He's our father

Yeah! School teaches you things you will never use and iroh tought us to keep an open mind, to always see the light at the end of the tunnel, look for the light instead of the dark. The list can go on. Thank you iroh for teaching me the most important things!

Thanks!
Please please please upload this to Spotify

You're such an amazing artist
When I first heard this song, I didn’t understand and was like “okay, that’s strange”, but now hearing the reason is sad, I cried, I tried holding my tears, cuz usually I cry in movies but this song changed everything of what I thought, it was the first song I have ever cried to. Imagine someone you love so deeply, and then seeing them die is like a shattered heart, not trying to tell my story but, when I was young, I was in a car accident, after I woke up in the hospital, I didn’t remember anything, a few weeks later I found out my dad had died, and when I got that news it felt like I died, because me and my dad were so close and then hearing that he had died, was hard for me, after I couldn’t interact with anyone at my school cuz I was different, I had a scar in my face which I thought would never go away. When I got to middle school my scar was gone and I had a new dad again, I was recovering again, I had hope that I could live again. Now hearing this song made me realize losing someone hurts even the person who is close to you, it’s hard recovering after a loss, may it be a son, a Brother, or a dad. Give thanks for mako for making this emotional song cuz with this song, it brought people to give thanks to him.
From the moment I met Uncle Iroh in the series, I immediately loved him and how he complimented Zuko’s temper by being calm and cheery.
Always he was there, gently guiding Zuko and loving him like the son he never got to. Being the father Zuko really needed.
He may have had a rough start, but he realized his choices were wrong; and strove as hard as he could to fix them later in life.
We’ll all miss you Uncle Iroh. Mako. Thank you for this beautifully heart-wrenching song for us to remember you by. I hope you and your son are together now, happy and at peace with Zuko’s mother, Katara and Sokka’s mother, Monk Giatso, and Princess Yuae.
I’m gonna go hug my pillow and cry now. Thank you.
Beautiful voice and beautiful lyrics. This has made me cry every time I've played it.
im gonna leave a comment every time i come back to this amazing video
Here again. I’m stressed with a lot of school work right now, I’m hoping to calm myself using this and go to bed.
This is a song about a man lost son.
But also a goodbye for someone who’s voice will remain in our hearts.
But to me it’s a reminder of all the ones gone but never forgotten
R.I.P grandma...wish you stayed a bit longer.
No matter how many times I hear it, the “I need you home” always strikes a chord in me. Beautiful cover 💚
All of us crying over some one we never knew, but impacted our lives, so much
This made me really wanna learn about Lu Ten, like he did seem like an interesting character, lowkey sad we didn't see more of him :(
God this song invokes such a deep feeling of sadness. Fantastic work
My friend and I were looking through ATLA music for inspiration for a fanfiction we are co-writing then we found this, your Ursa Lullaby, and your Azula song. We were amazed and absolutely awed at your talent but what shocked us the most was this song very rendition of Leaves From the Vine. We listened to it over and over again and realized that this song fits the themes we were going for and matches the relationship and journeys the main characters go through together to a T.
Also, we both think you sang this song beautifully and captured the essence of the song incredibly.
This is very beautiful...
I'm crying right now...
Girl, no idea now you sang any of that without immediately tearing up, I salute thee for the commitment
Looks like I'm tear bending
even as an extended cover, I can still feel the sadness and mourning that Iroh goes through. not just for the loss of his son(which is painful in itself), but also for the suffering he has been forced to watch his nephew(Zuko) go through, do to his cruel brother and niece. I've always loved Iroh's character even if he is technically supporting cast.
This song hits hard because yesterday was Mako's birthday. Thank you for covering this, Reinaeiry. You did this song justice!
I just want Uncle Iroh to hug me, and rock me in his arms and tell me, "Its gonna be ok, it will be ok, you will be ok, my little fighter". STOP I AM CRYING
Don't we all wish we could have a hug from him ( clearly not crying )
Dam I saw this in a comment on iFunny that there was a full version of this song but it was just the lyrics I wanted to listen to it. This did not disappoint and I feel like my emotions hit me like a truck, Thank You for being a part of something beautiful!
I know what the correlation to this song is for uncle, but when I think of it in a wider sense such as all the people who fought in war like WW1, WW2, KOREAN, VIETNAM and many more sadly. I just think of all the soldiers that didn't want to be there. What their thoughts could have been, some reduced to children wishing to see they're parents, some void of emotions simply to avoid the trauma and others losing their minds out of the gruesome reality that is war. I just can't even imagine the scenarios well enough to even connect with them, but I can already feel a bit of the terror that was their life and it's tragic man...
Got my tissues
Got my headphones
Got my tears😭
"You're not being the person Uncle Iroh knew you could be," Will always be my go to when someone my age is being rude. If it hits then it deals so much emotional damage.
I’m honestly crying. There’s nothing I can say about this song that anyone else has. This is just an emotional journey on its own:
rip Mako... You were amazing and this song just makes me shed more tears after knowing you died
Whenever I search up leaves from the vine I get multiple try not to cry challenges that don’t even have leaves from the vine in them. Meaning that the UA-cam algorithm has directly linked this song to crying.
I never fail to cry when I hear this song, the emotions hit hard 💔
Reinaeriy, there is truly nothing you can't do. From she ra, to Billie Eilish, to avatar. You truly never disappoint. ❤👍
I heard this from Obscuritea’s Little Soldier Boy and it made me cry so now I am devoted to learning it. Even if I haven’t watched Avatar. Amazing voice by the way. You are an amazing and beautiful singer!
Just knowing the original voice actor for uncle iroh, Mako, died from cancer is so sad...
Every like is a candle for uncle iroh.
This made me tear up almost the second you started singing and I'm not OK with that
For real, though - you did a FANTASTIC job with this cover ❤
I never understand how anyone can sing through this without their voice breaking with tears. It amazes me, for I can't do it.
This song always makes me cry, but it helps me remember the "Uncle Irohs" ive had in my life, my Grandma Jean, my Grandpa Joe, and my cat Dusty. While they are all gone now, they were there for me, and i miss them everyday.
This song made me teary, I lost my grandfather back when I was only 10 years old...he was my best friend and would defend me from my father....he was my only healthy male role model in my life.. he was in the military for 22 years and suffered from PTSD.. We always watched the original version of Rudolph the red nose reindeer together on Christmas Eve.. he would’ve been somewhere in his 90s at this point I miss him more everyday, I haven’t been able to watch since I wish I could’ve said goodbye to him
This was absolutley gorgeous, I’m out of Words
You did such an amazing job but oh I forgot how much this song makes me cry
That was beautiful. I'm actually crying as I write this; because it reminded me so much of my father, passed these five years. Thank you.
I love this so much T_T
love how it just creeps up on you and makes you emotional and before you know if you're crying so hard
This music made me feel... something. It was painful and endearing at the same time. I cried every time I heard, but kept replaying again again like I was looking for something.
It's... wonderful
When you're in your darkest place, you give yourself hope and that's inner strength. -Uncle Iroh
You know what nice? Singing and Harmonizing with you. I'm not nearly as good as you but there are small moments that I can hear myself harmonize with one of your voices, makes me a lil happier from the mood of the beautifully sad song.
This song always breaks my heart.. I have a problem where I get unnaturally attached to character’s if I enjoyed the show so this broke me when I found out the back-round for Iroh and his voice mako… I first watched avatar when I was very young, I’m still young but understand the concept of death and loss more now and I can’t even think how guilty and sorrowful he must be that his son died in a war started by his own blood ): I could go on about this for hours but probably shouldn’t, hearing this song never fails to bring me to tears
This song warms my heart so much❤
A year ago my grandma died to covid and my whole family were crying for so long😢
And this song reminds me so so much abt it
The voice is beautiful and I love the lyrics and to know what happened to the voice actor of Iroh made me cry I love this song❤❤❤
This is so beautiful. Iroh would be proud. Rest In Peace, Mako.
I cried when I heard it on the show because I saw Iroh cry. Now that I know the lyrics, I can cry every time I listen to this. What a blessing.
For the love of the all father... this made me cry so damn hard...
I'll never forget the Legend Mako and this is single greatest role. The casting was beyond perfect
Can I say I'm in love with a person just by listening to its voice?
I've been listening to Reinaery these past few days and god dammit, your voice is so beautiful, your original songs and covers make me so happy and relaxed.
Brooo why all your song and covers gotta make me cry 😭😭
Ever tried a more uplifting song? Like idk the secret tunnel one (which is lowkey a bop of you ask me)
Yeah
The tales of Iroh Brought a whole new meaning to his backstory and how much we love him
Okay I’m pretty sure at 1:50 I died and went to heaven for a bit . That was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard
Reinairy stop making me cry every day please. I am running out of tears and can’t replenish them fast enough. You’re so amazing
Dang you should put this on Spotify
This.. hits hard. Iroh is and always has been my favorite character and this is.. Wow.
This song makes me think of my little cousin she was placed into foster care at 2 and she will be 3 soon and I just wanna hug her and say “little soldier girl come marching home” I love her I miss her.
A leon turtle just gave me tear bending. Appreciate it.
Perfection
That's the perfect word to describe it
I bet his son is watching and singing along. Telling his dad it is alright, and how much he is loved.
Who dares dislike this beautiful masterpiece
I remember watching Avatar as a kid but not episode for episode. Now I’m watching it in my 20’s & there’s so much more you notice. There’s so much beauty to it & very few cartoons really make me feel this way.
“My little soldier boy, come marching home.”
“Brave soldier boy, never made it home.”
I never thought a cover of this song would make me cry like the original version does. Congrats on proving me wrong
PLEASE RELEASE THIS ON YOUR SPOTIFY 😭😭
Its quite amazing that you finished The song, I could never go over the chorus without flooding the room....
I’m not usually one for covers, but holy fucking shit I’m sobbing how dare you
Rip Mako. Love from the bottom of my heart. Made a big impact on me as a kid.
