(2) Born on February 15, 1978 in Seoul, South Korea, pianist Yiruma (real name: I Ru-ma) has released a string of successful albums in the 2000s and managed to land a number one hit with his composition "River Flows in You." Additionally, he was the first Korean artist to be invited to perform at the 2002 MIDEM in Cannes, France. Yiruma began playing the piano at the age of five and then moved to London in 1988 to study at the Purcell School of Music, where he graduated in July 1997. In June 2000, he completed a composition major at King's College London, and from 2001 onward he released a number of albums that can be categorized somewhere between the "contemporary classical" and "new age" genres. His 2001 album First Love contained the composition "River Flows in You," which subsequently became a number one hit in several countries, especially when it was briefly considered to be included on the soundtrack of the movie Twilight. Even though the producers ultimately did not use the piece, a series of YouTube videos appeared online where Yiruma's cut was put into the corresponding scene, boosting the track's popularity and resulting in it being remixed by German DJ Alex Christensen in 2010. Yiruma also composed the scores for the movie Oasis (directed by Lee Chang-dong) and the stop-motion animated film Doggy Poo (directed by Kwon Oh-sung). ~ Christian Genzel, Rovi

Love, a word with four letters,
but contains infinite sweets,
It cannot be avoided or be forced,
once you got struck by it,
you will felt bliss and happiness.
Love, a word with four letters,
but contains infinite sweets,
It cannot be avoided or be forced,
once you got struck by it,
all you will feel, is grief and pains.
Love,
the most dangerous emotion you will ever seen,
that it will makes you laugh when crying on the scene,
and wanting to be love by the one you love but cannot be,
and accept the fact that you two are not meant to be.
But, still, even it will give grief and pain,
let me be, let me experience this wonderful feeling,
let me share the happiness i can give to you,
let me take the sadness you don't want to.
and let me love you.
My feelings for you is true,
but, I don't know if this feeling will reach you.
I'm still hoping that you will notice this,
and if you did, whatever your answer will be,
I'll accept it with all my heart.
But still, I am still hoping,
that my 'I Love You' will reach you.
My heart is shouting, shouting and begging,
that Please, Love Me.

This is why the piano is my favorite instrument. When you play it, you don't need singing, the piano does it with its beautiful melody. Perfection.
@moomimi
All instruments sounds beautiful
it all comes down to the person playing it
Theres even an instrument literally made of pipes
@taeragland6628
Yeah I guess that makes since. I just love how the piano sounds. No matter what.
But I agree they all sound beautiful. I love how the composer/ player brings their emotions into the piece they are playing. It's mesmerizing.

I was there the whole time b
@angelayuan4881
The piano can also reach basically every note and covers those notes in two clefs. No complicated C clefs. I can't read those no matter how hard I try.
@taeragland6628
It's perfection at its finest. I can't read music like those sharps and flats, basically the black notes. But I don't need to read music to enjoy it's effortless talent on making you feel like your in a world with less shit then it is. It's magical, at least to me.
@believe-in-yourself
The black and white keys represent the moments of our life. Happy or Sad we all understand the language of music where ever we are in the world ❤
@camilomoyavalderrama5977
I can't forget when I began college, listening this Masterpiece during my free time, was really peaceful and charming
@luisvarrenti7752
Escuchar esta melodia ,son 4 minutos que se me pasan un sin fin de momentos vividos con mi mama ❤

This man is a gift from god. His music is so beautiful. Most pianists want to play all the complex and fast paced pieces, but Yiruma out performs them all because his work beautifully simple and complex at the same time, and the emotion behind the music is evident. <3
