Yiruma… he's my favorite pianist in this modern age. And his best piece must be "Kiss the Rain". Every now and then I thought, 'what an upsetting song, but what makes this name upsetting?'

I thought kissing rain was cool, although it's not really possible.

I thought it was like a 'happily ever after' because of its romantic ring in it.

And though I thought of ideas similar to an optimist, I was wrong. When you look at it closely and decipher its meaning it's very downhearted and bleak.

To kiss the rain; It's impossible… you cannot wholeheartedly kiss a single droplet. You cannot reach it like a human being and place your kiss upon it like you do to a person.

And you stand there in the drizzling water feeling that you're far from kissing rain because it's almost not possible… and yet you feel so close and within the same place because you are surrounded by rain. It's everywhere. Briefly, it means you're so close… yet so far.

This… it tells you, kissing the rain is just like kissing the one you love, but your significant other is untouchable. You can never reach him / her for some reason.

Even though you appear to be the closest thing to him, something will always come your way and you feel a distance again because he / she are the rain.
