UNDER THE TREE

UNDER THE TREE is the theme song of Special 1, composed and performed by.

It serves as the special's ending theme.

Ending animation
It begins with only a black screen, followed by a shooting from above of the lower half of the body of a person walking down an unpaved path with grass on the sides. After a few tens of steps, the screen fades back to black.

After some more time, new, still images appear on the screen one after the other. They depict a flock of birds soaring in the sky above a forest, their loosened feathers fluttering in the air.

The camera goes back to the initial shooting, but at some point, as the person continues their walk, the image blurs and three stills are superimposed on to it: the tree under which Eren Jaeger was sleeping in Episode 1; the Coordinate at the center of the Paths, which also resembles a tree; and the tree beneath which Ymir Fritz obtained the Power of the Titans. The screen goes black one last time.
