Check out my new ATLA orchestration "The Power of Balance"! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sM15nM-DyKypfmw.html

Man, we 2000's kids were really spoiled with some god-tier animation.

“When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.” -Aang

"It’s easy to do nothing, it’s hard to forgive." - Aang Samuel, I forgive you for not uploading at least twice a day.

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!

This series has one of the best soundtracks. Could you do a epic orchestral secret tunnel I think it would be fun.

“Love is brightest in the dark” - ATLA S2 Episode 2

“Baby you’re my Forever Girl”

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

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?”

a moment of silence for those who will never find this show.

Yes.

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

If you ever feel lonely, remember that 112 years passed before Aang found the love of his life.

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.

This playing over aangs funeral would break me

Water and Air, the two most peaceful elements. Coming together.

“Love is brightest in the dark.”

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

No, no no! I'm NOT crying. No I'm *not* moved. I also didn't just play this on loop for the past 25 mintues 😣

Aang and Katara coming together was one of the best things that happened in the series.

This is an extremely emotional version of an already extremely emotional song. Well done.

You should do the music for Avatar: Rise of the Phoenix King, it’s a fan game

This is the level of art I hope the soundtrack gets in the new NETFLIX adaption.

I swear, if you do Uncle Iroh’s “Soldier Boy”, you’re gonna have everyone crying.

*when we hit our lowest point we are open to the greatest change* I miss Aang and team avatar

Avatar love, Imagine being loved by a eternal soul, a god in your world...

I like how he has the necklace from Monk Giatso. It's a really nice touch.

This dude makes fire within 15 minutes everyday.

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

Honestly This and and a how to train your dragon piece would go together beautifully

I'm not crying.. You're crying!! 😣

'Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void. But always yields to purifying light.'

Aang and Katara were truly destined for one another ;-;

"I've always had the lower hand in a fight. But it's what makes me me. It's who I am."

Please do Little Soldier Boy ( Leaves from the Vine)!!

The dislikes are Zutara and Taang shippers.

ATLA Is probably the only show where I didn't wish that the story could have been different or better

This show is the only media that can bring me to tears

Could we get maybe a Leaves From The Vine Sad Version next? That would be awesome... in a sad way

samuel kim makes the absolute best music for fan edits, this one inspires me to do a avatar edit

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.

“I got a jar of dirt.” - Captain Jack Sparrow

“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...”

“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.

Not gonna lie, I totally walked down to this theme at my wedding in June. It's just so stunning :'-)

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

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.

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.

this makes me so emotional 😭😭😭I miss aang and katara so much

just imagine this at a kataang wedding. *chefs kiss*

i feel like i am gonna cry over this

I’m being 100% honest, the philosophy of this show changed me as a person so much

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.

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

Damn honestly tho that cello in 1:08 pulled my heartstrings 😥😢😭

“Some friendships transend lifetimes” - Avatar Roku

I like how the yin and yang in Katara's head has some meaning but Aang just has Appa vibing in his head.

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 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

This just brings back memories and makes you wanna cry. 😢😭

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!

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 ❤

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

Man, I want somebody to love me the same way Katara loves Aang

That one dislike is from Phoenix King Ozai

This music is literally Kataang’s soundtrack and it’s so beautiful 💕💕

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. 👍🏻🙏🏻

Aang and Katara are the purest. Thank God, it was early 2000's and they didn't switch Kataang for Zutara just for stupid ass angst.

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!!

This is just flat out one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard!!!!

The music and the background art are so beautiful. I’m tearing up 😫😢

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.

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.

This put a smile on my face.

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 👏🏽

No matter what happens in the future… Avatar: The Last Airbender will never lose its place...

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.

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.

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

I don’t think Korra will ever reach this level of appreciation that Avatar TLA has today

I literally just watched the series for the first time today and this piece is giving me goosebumps like the finale did

Next do Leaves from the Vine

I'm totally not crying at this beautiful piece of music from my favorite show of all time.

This is Samuel's most underrated soundtracks. That too for being his own original theme you know for sure this came from the heart.

When you realize the show is over but it still lives in you!

"In the darkest times hope is something you give yourself, that is the meaning of inner strength" -Iroh

I watched the last episode today for the first time. I never knew how amazing this show was.

I think a combination of Ahsoka’s Theme or Across the Stars and this might be just... 👌

Shows then: Amazing story line, animation, character arcs, music; just all around great shows. Shows now: NAKED BEARS ACT LIKE HUMANS AND NOBODY IS QUESTIONING IT LIKE WTF????

Dude this track by Kim is underrated asf one of the best things I've heard in a while. Especially at the beginning...😳

I watched the serie more than 20 times. I remember when I was waiting for the new episodes when I was child. This is just the best serie of all time. I will never stop to watch it. ♥ AND MY CHILDREN WILL HAVE TO LOVE IT OR...

One of the best couples in fiction

OMG! I made a remix of the original! It’s so beautiful! Though yours is as beautiful 😍

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.

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

It’s 2020 and I’m still not over it.

Avatar and Hey Arnold will forever be the most beautiful & incredible cartoons in Nickelodeon history. Nothing has or ever will beat those two shows. Nothing.

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

I honestly can't stop listening to this. It's so calming, makes everything feel okay
