Why Netflix’s ‘Avatar’ Added Lyrics to ‘Secret Tunnel,’ Made ‘Leaves From the Vine’ Instrumental and Revamped the End Credits Song
The composer of Netflix's 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' explains his updates to 'Secret Tunnel,' 'Leaves From the Vine' and the end credits song.
One of the most poignant moments in the entire series comes during Uncle Iroh’s vignette, which features the retired general memorializing his late son, Lu Ten. Later, an orchestral rendition of “Leaves From the Vine” plays during a flashback scene, where a younger Zuko (Dallas James Liu) comforts Iroh (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) during Lu Ten’s funeral. The original lyrics were something like, “Far atop the Kolau Mountains, lies a city called Omashu.” But then Albert wanted to stay away from the Omashu reference so directly, so we changed it to “Jewel of My Heart,” which I think is better.
