HEY CHONG, we were on Vanderbilt University’s student radio today thanks to super awesome host/listener/friend Mara Bloomfield! ♥

I don’t go to Vanderbilt, but JUST THOUGHT YOU’D FIND THIS COOL… she gave us both shoutouts and deemed us worth enough to place among greats like AWOLNATION, so I am pretty stoked! If you’re reading this, THANKS MARA. :)

Have I mentioned what a huge fan of chongthenomad I am? Because I’m pretty sure I’ve been listening to her ATLA/Korra mixes on repeat for like a week straight and I have NO REGRETS, whatsoever. She is incredible and she is my hero. Her newest mix is a remake of “Leaves From The Vine,” the song that Iroh sings to his son’s grave in the original series, and it’s absolutely beautiful. It didn’t have any vocals, so I thought I’d add some — I hope I didn’t ruin the beauty of its simplicity! Hope you guys enjoy it. :)

Leaves from the vine
Falling so slow
Like fragile, tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy
Come marching home
And brave soldier boy
Comes marching home 

You can download this version here on Mediafire!
And seriously, though — go listen to the rest of Chong’s mixes… NOW. ♥
_{(Also, you should definitely consider listening to this with headphones. Just saying.)}
