What does the “Leaves From the Vine” meme mean?
The song gets quoted to voice a sorrow you do not want to explain: losing someone, the anniversary of a death, sometimes the end of a show you loved. Four lines are enough to set the register, and the fact that they are sung by a normally reassuring character does the rest. The passage works as a shared formula for a grief too large for your own sentence, reposted as a comment, as a tribute, or as the sound bed of an edit about someone who is gone.
Where does the “Leaves From the Vine” meme come from?
“The Tales of Ba Sing Se”, the fifteenth episode of the second season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, aired on 29 September 2006 on Nickelodeon. The episode is built from short stories devoted to each character; Iroh’s follows him through an ordinary day until he sets up a small shrine before the portrait of his son Lu Ten, killed at the siege of Ba Sing Se, and sings him “Leaves from the vine, falling so slow”. The segment closes on a dedication to Mako Iwamatsu, Iroh’s original voice actor, who died during production. That double loss, inside the fiction and outside it, explains the place the scene holds in online tributes. The card first carried 2005; reading the broadcast date corrected it to 2006.
