Yiruma – River Flows In You (Edward/Bella’s Lullaby)


Yurima – River Flows in You (Tab)

 
MP3

I’ve done plenty of TV, book and game themes but I think this is the first book theme I’ve done. There seems to be a fair bit of confusion about what constitutes Bella’s/Edward’s Lullaby which I got caught up in. When I was working it out, as a very cheap Christmas present for a friend, I thought I was working out the song from the film. But it turns out this version is in the film and Yiruma’s River Flows In You was decided to be the theme by a bunch of fans. And I think the fans got it right. River Flows in You has a very sweet catchy melody. And the official piece, well, it’s a bit shit.

    Dang. I was working on this before you came and did it… But still your’s is much better than mine. I’ve got some friends that are big Twilight fans and they’ll be delighted.

    Jimmy: Yes, it’s a good tune for impressing girls.

    Haha yeah, you know that’s what I meant ;)

    wow. that is so pretty. I am nowhere close to understanding how to strum the fast part, but thanks for posting this, I have a new project, I’m afraid.

    Wow, i’m stunned. That is a cheap present. Haha.

    on the video it says yiruma which is right?

    Al, great piece of work on the ukulele and arrangement. I have to ask at risk of a foolish question, It looks like around measure 12 and on that you are showing that only selected strings are muted (with an x) on some of the chords. If I have that right, how did you come up with doing that partial muting thing?

    Tuscadero and Art: I’ll try to add to the post tomorrow to clear a few things up.

    Sharpen: Except if I’d spent the time working I would have earned enough to buy a decent present.

    Mike: My mistake. Thanks for letting me know.

    hey stupid question, but i knwo it’s there but any tips on how to get the strumming down at about the end of the 6th measure anyone??

  12. Colleen April 10th, 2009 11:01 pm

    i am a little confused on how to strum this. do you strum only the strings that the arrow is next to? and what about the ones where only certain strings are muted? this is amazing though, i cant wait to learn how to play it!

    Hmm..I Swear that Bella’s Lullaby was going to be Kiss the Rain, by Yiruma. But I love this song better <3 I dunno if I am incorrect, but I am pretty sure that it’s Kiss the Rain that is gonna be Bella’s Lullaby..If I am wrong..Sorry ._.

    Do anyone care to make a videolesson of this song, or something like that? I’m having a hardtime strumming and playing the “tabs” at the same time, if you understand.

  15. Sammi October 2nd, 2009 6:16 pm

    ok how easy is this song to play for a bginner i cant even read tabs well but im trying sorta. im not a huge fan of the twilight movies never seen them but i do like the books. i wanna play this song right now but im in school watching a history video.

  16. Woodshed October 2nd, 2009 6:54 pm

    Sammi: It’s definitely a tricky one to play – not suitable for beginners.

  17. desiree December 16th, 2009 9:34 am

    is there a downloadable version of your cover available online somewhere?
    it’s beautiful and it sure helps to learn and a song when you can listen to it lots:}

  18. Woodshed December 16th, 2009 10:21 pm

    desiree: Click where it says ‘MP3′ in red.

  22. haley June 7th, 2010 4:28 am

  23. Jane June 21st, 2010 10:15 pm

    he’s actually Korean, not Japanese.

  24. Woodshed June 23rd, 2010 2:00 pm

    Jane: Thanks for the correction.

  25. alex October 14th, 2010 10:23 am

    I LOVE this song so much! Thankyou for sharing.

  26. kate November 21st, 2010 9:20 pm

    It’s a shame that twilight had to go and ruin a lovely peice of music :)

  27. karly November 23rd, 2010 2:35 am

    This song is so great… does anyone have a video tutorial for it? I can’t get the strumming right. How are they strumming all the strings when it says to only strum two? Confused.

  28. Birgitte February 13th, 2011 7:59 am

    Thank you a lot for adding this tab.. I just started playing ukulele, and I abselutely love the instrument.
    I were not agreeing with the tab completely so I made a few changes to my version, but still thanks a lot for the tab :D

  29. Mark July 16th, 2011 4:12 am

    can you make a video tutorial? i can’t really read the tabs.. :) thanks.. i’ll just wait if you’ll make one and i’ll just keep on practicing this song :)

  30. Woodshed July 18th, 2011 3:16 pm

    Mark: Sorry, I don’t do video tutorials.

  31. Sarah October 28th, 2011 8:21 pm

    Totally awesome, thanks! I’m not the best because I’m pretty new to the ukelele (I’ve played the piano for the last 8 years or so) but I really found this to be a great song to play, especially as I love Yiruma. :)

  32. Woodshed October 29th, 2011 9:16 am

    Sarah: Thanks!

  33. Shelley December 8th, 2011 5:03 pm

    Hey guys! How do you mute strings like x7x0 in the tab?

  34. Andrea December 21st, 2011 3:25 pm

    Edward/Bella as in twilight? o.O

  35. Woodshed December 21st, 2011 4:11 pm

    Andrea: Yes, that Edward and Bella.

  36. JB December 26th, 2011 7:04 pm

    helli :) i love your tab! thanks a lot!
    but i have no clue how to mute only one string… can anyone explain it ? thanks a ton :)

  37. Woodshed December 27th, 2011 11:24 am

    JB: With the fretting hand. It depends on the string. With the g-string, I usually use my thumb.

Got something to say?
