Based on River Flows in You by Korean composer, Yiruma, this piece takes a Chinese twist on the original theme and includes a more intense, war-like section in the middle to contrast with the rest of the calm and soothing piece.

Features the 二胡 (erhu, kind of like a Chinese violin), the 橫笛 (dizi, a Chinese flute), and cello. To round out the harmonies and background parts, there are also orchestral instruments as well as a 古箏 (guzheng, a Chinese harp).

Moon River Flows in You

A song about the naive but beautiful idea of love at first sight.

I used to believe
In "love at first sight"
Back then I was young
Knew what was wrong what was right

A monochrome life
In stark black and white
So beautifully simple
But depressing in its night

Can it be real
This "love at first sight"
When time stands still
I look into her eyes

And there I see
A possibility:
A whole lifetime with me

The strict honor code
That I set was too strong
If I chose you
We'd have to last ever-long

I swore that I would wait
For the right girl to come
But the truth is never easy
And lonely hearts grew lonely numb

Can it be real
This "love at first sight"?
When time stands still
I look into her eyes

And there I see
An opportunity
A whole lifetime with me

I used to believe
In "love at first sight"
And then I met you
And I remembered I was right

Can this be real
Our love at first sight?
When time stood still
I looked into your eyes

And there I've seen
With utmost certainty:
A whole lifetime with me

A whole lifetime with me
