Kiss the Rain was composed by South Korean pianist Yiruma and released on his 2001 album First Love, where it became one of his most recognised pieces. Its simple, emotional piano style made it a favourite for piano students and cover artists, and it later spread widely through YouTube performances, study playlists and emotional video edits. The intro is especially popular because it is instantly recognisable within a few notes, yet gentle enough to sit under narration or visuals, which keeps it in constant use for reflective and romantic content online.
About this sound
The gentle piano intro to Yiruma's Kiss the Rain, with soft, flowing notes that set a calm, emotional mood for videos, edits and study moments.
This clip captures the opening bars of Kiss the Rain, a slow piano melody built from soft, repeating arpeggios and a simple, lingering theme. The notes arrive quietly, one after another, creating a feeling of gentle sadness mixed with calm and nostalgia. There are no drums, vocals or sudden changes, just clean piano that rises and falls like rain on a window. For a viewer, it instantly slows the pace, adds emotional weight and makes a scene feel intimate, reflective or quietly romantic without overpowering the visuals.
