Yiruma’s River Flows in You: from its meaning to its starring role in the Twilight saga

By Maddy Shaw Roberts

Since it was featured in the Twilight saga, ‘River Flows in You’ has morphed into the ‘Clair de lune’ of the 21st century – but when did Yiruma compose it and what does it mean?

If you’re an aspiring pianist or just enjoy the sound of a simple, beautiful melody, you will have likely come across Yiruma’s lyrical piano piece, ‘River Flows in You’ (2001). The piece, written in A major, is the South Korean-British composer’s best-selling song to-date. Structured more like a pop song than a classical piano composition, ‘River Flows in You’ is hugely popular among both pop and classical listeners.

Who is Yiruma?

Yiruma, whose real name is Lee Ru-ma, is a South Korean-British composer and pianist. Born in 1978, he started playing piano at the age of five, and moved to London when he was 10 to study at the Purcell School of Music. He later attended King’s College, London where he studied composition and released his first album, Love Scene. His most popular album First Love (there’s a running theme here...), containing the hit ‘River Flows in You’, was released in 2001. Yiruma is often compared to the Italian composer-pianist Ludovico Einaudi, famous for writing solo piano tracks including ‘Le Onde’ and ‘Divenire’.
