Melodic Mondays: Moonlight by Yiruma

0 Comments

I have my mother to thank for this one: she introduced me to Yiruma several years ago by playing his music while my siblings and I did our schoolwork. At first, I wasn’t really into it; my musical tastes leaned more towards soft rock at the time, that and the occasional touch of country. But I gave it a try because Mommy made me, and whaddaya know? I liked it.

Since then, my love for Yiruma has grown quite a bit, but my favorite piece remains “Moonlight.” I’m not sure why. There’s just something so graceful in the lilting melody, some inspiration that tickles my muse as I listen. It’s one of the few songs that makes the perfect background for any writing, whatever the scene or genre.
