Love Me

Hello, fellow netizens :)

It’s been a while since the last post.

I’ve been quite busy with some…school stuff. *cough*

Anyway…

Today, I came home from school and played the piano for a good hour or so.

For the past few days, I’ve been trying to learn this new song called “Love me” by Yiruma.

(If you read my very first post, I mentioned that I like to play the piano and I love to listen to New Age Piano songs)

There are many New Age Piano composers such as Brian Crain, Ryuichi Sakamoto, etc.

Among them, my favorite composer is, of course, Yiruma – probably because the first New Age Piano song I’ve ever listened to was “Kiss the Rain” (another amazing song) which is composed by Yiruma.

Whenever I lose my passion to play the piano, I try listening to Yiruma’s songs and then my passion seems to burn again.

I think it’s because Yiruma’s songs always seem to stimulate some special sentiments, and reveal Yiruma’s depth of amazing artistic sensibility.

Many of his songs just flow like a river – nothing rough or forceful but smooth and natural.

(There is a song called “River Flows in You” which if you listen to it, you’ll feel a river flowing inside you)

Well, this particular song I’m trying to learn, “Love me,” really seems to express love in its tunes.

Love is such an equivocal word that everyone has a different definition for it, and everyone has a different way of expressing it.

I personally think Yiruma has definitely succeeded in what he was trying to achieve – express love in his song.

His song “Love me” seems to condense all those different meanings of love and convey them in its melody.

If you’re not sure what I mean, I’d suggest that you listen to it :)
