His albums are sold all over Asia, as well as the United States and Europe. His most famous pieces include "Kiss the Rain", "Maybe" and "River Flows in You" (First Love).
He began playing the piano at the age of five, and moved to London when he was 11, in 1988, to study at The Purcell School of Music . In December 1996, he participated in the album The Musicians of Purcell (Decca). He graduated from Purcell School of Music in July 1997, then graduated as a composition major from King's College London in June 2000. His first album was released by DECCA while he was still studying at Kings College. During this time, he also went on a music tour throughout Europe, and composed for musicals, film and theatre.
Two years after his second album, Yiruma released his third album, 'From the yellow room'. Pre-order sales alone topped 30,000 copies and the album was top-ranked on many popular music charts, including Yes24, Phono, and Hot Tracks. His 12 city national tour was a sellout, and his November concert at the Seoul National Arts Center also sold out.
His 4th album, 'POEMUSIC', is full of lyrical melody. In 2006, the following year, he composed a main theme song for a popular KBS drama, ‘Spring's waltz.’ In his fifth album, ‘h.i.s monologue,’ he experienced a prepared piano technique which is about having percussion feeling in beautiful melody. While he was making his success continuously in the music industry, he made up his mind to give up his dual citizenship as a South Korean and a citizen of the UK, to join the Republic of Korea Navy, which is compulsory for all male Koreans.
When Yiruma finished his service in the Korean Navy, he performed the 2008 Yiruma Come Back Tour, ‘Ribbonized’, in 20 cities across Korea. On January 1, 2009, he became a DJ for KBS1FM 'Yiruma's Music from All Around the World'.

Kiss The Rain
이루마(Yiruma) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I often close my eyes
And I can see you smile
You reach out for my hand
And I'm woken from my dream
Although your heart is mine
It's hollow inside
I never had your love
CHORUS
And every night
I lie awake
Thinking maybe you love me
Like I've always loved you
But how can you love me
Like I loved you when
You can't even look me straight in my eyes
VRS 2/3
I've never felt this way
To be so in love
To have someone there
Yet feel so alone
Aren't you supposed to be
The one to wipe my tears
The on to say that you would never leave
The waters calm and still
My reflection is there
I see you holding me
But then you disappear
All that is left of you
Is a memory
On that only, exists in my dreams
CHORUS
VRS 4
I don't know what hurts you
But I can feel it too
And it just hurts so much
To know that I can't do a thing
And deep down in my heart
Somehow I just know
That no matter what
I'll always love you
VRS 1
So why am I still here in the rain
The song “Kiss the Rain” by Yiruma is a beautiful yet melancholic ballad that touches the heart of listeners. The lyrics portray a painful love story where the singer is hopelessly in love but cannot have it reciprocated. The first two lines, "I often close my eyes, And I can see you smile," reveal how the singer thinks of their love interest even when they are not around. The next line, "You reach out for my hand, And I'm woken from my dream," implies that the singer's love is an illusion or a mere dream, which shatters when they wake up.
The chorus suggests that the singer is fully aware of their unrequited love. They lie awake at night thinking that maybe they are loved, but they are uncertain. The line "You can't even look me straight in my eyes" hints at the love interest's lack of interest or disapproval of the singer's feelings. In the second and third verse, the singer expresses frustration and sadness about being in love with someone who is there but not emotionally available. The line "Aren't you supposed to be the one to wipe my tears" suggests that the singer is looking for emotional support from their love interest, but they are not getting it.
The final verse and the last line, "So why am I still here in the rain," implicate the singer's despair over their love interest not returning their feelings. The rain symbolizes the singer's tears, and they are asking themselves why they are still holding on to something that does not exist. Overall, the song conveys a feeling of unrequited love that many people will relate to in their lives.

I often close my eyes
And I can see you smile
You reach out for my hand
And I'm woken from my dream
Although your heart is mine
It's hollow inside
I never had your love
And I never will
I frequently imagine you next to me, and you are happy in my dreams. You extend your hand towards me, but when I try to hold it, I wake up to reality. Even though I have gained your heart, it is empty and unfulfilled because you never loved me, and you never will.
And every night
I lie awake
Thinking maybe you love me
Like I've always loved you
But how can you love me
Like I loved you when
You can't even look me straight in my eyes
Each night, I can't sleep and ponder if you could love me as I do for you. But how could you reciprocate my love when you can't even maintain eye contact with me?
I've never felt this way
To be so in love
To have someone there
Yet feel so alone
Aren't you supposed to be
The one to wipe my tears
The on to say that you would never leave
I've never felt such intense emotions towards anyone like I do for you, yet I feel incredibly lonely despite having you. As my significant other, I expected you to comfort me during my low moments and assure me of your loyalty.
The waters calm and still
My reflection is there
I see you holding me
But then you disappear
All that is left of you
Is a memory
On that only, exists in my dreams
I see my reflection on the calm waters, and I envision you embracing me. But my fantasy gets shattered, and I'm left with memories of you, which only exists in my imagination.
I don't know what hurts you
But I can feel it too
And it just hurts so much
To know that I can't do a thing
And deep down in my heart
Somehow I just know
That no matter what
I'll always love you
I may not know what pains you deeply, but I can sense it from my end, and it breaks my heart. Sadly, I realize I can't erase your pain or do anything to make it better. Despite everything, I'm aware that I'll continue loving you forever.
So why am I still here in the rain
Given all that has unfolded between us, I wonder why I'm still holding on to you, observing the falling rain, and letting my tears mix with it.

And you seem to be living life very well and happy.
When the moon quietly wakes up
If you hear the sound of rain
Come from a distance by walking a little
Nightingale is waiting
hold and hug.
But don't try to eat honey jar
nightingale says,
Kiss the rain the river goes down...

Buat siapa pun yg baca ini,
SEMANGAT YA!! Setiap masalah pasti ada solusi, boleh sedih tapi jangan lupa bangkit lagi. Jangan pernah merasa sendiri, lihat dan baca komen Vidio ini!! walaupun kita ga kenal tapi anggaplah kami semua teman temanmu. Buat yang dijauhin temen sekolah, sebenernya kamu punya temen kok! tapi Tuhan belum kasih yang tepat. Kamu ga mau kan salah milih temen? aku dan mereka semua yang lihat Vidio ini temen kamu cuman kita ga pernah dan ga kenal aja:)
Buat anak broken home,
SEMANGAT!! Tunjukin kalau kalian bisa tanpa mereka, tunjukin kalau kamu bahagia tanpa mereka. Aku yakin kalian pasti bisa!! Mungkin kamu masih butuh mereka.. tapi jadilah orang yang tidak selalu mengandalkan orang lain. Kalian diciptakan dengan hati yang kuat oleh Tuhan, kalian anak anak terpilih dikasih hati dan mental sekuat baja. Suatu saat setiap anak pasti akan kehilangan orang tua mereka ntah itu karna meninggal atau yg lain. Nanti ada saatnya kalian bertemu orang yang tepat sebagai suami/istri kalian dan menjadi teman hidup. Saat itu kamu akan bahagia, ingat supaya anak anakmu kelak tidak mengalami hal yang sama ya! sekali lagi SEMANGAT!!
Buat yang sedang difase overthinking,
Kalian harus bangkit, jangan mencemaskan hal yang tidak perlu. Memang susah, tapi coba sedikit sedikit lebih bodoamat. Terkadang tidak semua hal harus dipikirkan. Coba buat lebih cuek dan bodoamat, pikirkan yang membuatmu bahagia.
Buat kita yang umur umur remaja gini wajar kok! jangan merasa sendiri. Banyak yang sedang mengalami seperti kalian. TETAP SEMANGAT DAN JANGAN MENYERAH!! Tunjukan suatu saat nanti kamu bisa sukses dan jadi orang yang berguna buat siapa saja terutama orang tua.
Aku tau kalian sedang tidak baik baik saja karna kalian puter Vidio ini, aku juga sama:)
Jangan begadang mulu ga baik buat kesehatan, dan beresiko cepat meninggal lho.
Coba pejam matamu sampai terlelap, sering sering begitu tiap malam supaya ga insom lagi.
Jangan lakukan hal hal tidak baik ya! mungkin itu menyelesaikan masalah, tapi hanya sesaat. Tidak merasakan sakit lagi dibumi tapi merasakan sakit dineraka. Pilih mana hayo?
Kalau mau nyilet tangan mending diganti dengan buku trus dicoret coret terserah mau gimana bentuknya dan lihat gambaran emosimu itu.
Jangan nangis trus tiap malem kasian tubuh kamu butuh istirahat, air matamu diLap dulu ya.. kamu harus istirahat, selamat tidur❤️
Maaf ya kebanyakan ketik, kalau ga mau baca gapapa kok. Buat yang butuh semangat aja :)
