What is it that attracts us to the art of film? Is it the ticket sales? The marketing? The Red Carpets? The Glamor? Perhaps it's images and ideas and the way a flickering shadow and the songs that accompany those stories written in time combine for a sublime and moving experience.  In "Yesenia", love blooms despite the barriers of race and class and a new truth about the human condition emerges.  In "Léon: The Professional" we meet a professional assassin whose life is transformed as the result of taking in an orphan girl, herself a victim of violence.  In “Cinema Paradiso", film itself becomes the story when a successful, middle-aged movie director returns to his hometown to honor the memory of his old friend, the town projectionist, the man who first taught him to love the art of film. Whether it's tales of young love, gripping social commentary, or adventures across time and space, the power and beauty of stories told on the silver screen weave a seductive web. 

When immersed in the cinema's world of images, time becomes an illusion as decades of history dance before our eyes. But there is another dimension that enhances our experience of the stories we are watching - MUSIC! Whether black & white or color, songs were crafted to frame the images we watched - many of which have taken on an incredible life of their own independent of the films where they were first heard! Like a golden thread, these songs weave together hundreds of classic moments. Each time we hear these familiar melodies, our own lives merge with images on the screen and our memories of when and where and who we were with when we first heard those songs all come back to us, and we return to these unforgettable songs and films time and again, to retrace the steps of our own journeys in life.

"Love in A Life Time", "The Last Emperor", "When I Fall in Love", "I Believe"... each of the twelve movie songs featured on this album are milestones in the history of the film. Ye Yunchuan, Rhymoi's critically acclaimed producer, hopes that through these beloved melodies, born under the spotlight, and loved by millions around the globe, will transport you back in time to revisit your own memories that have been so perfectly captured in these films, and immerse yourself once again in a moment of beauty and escape from our hectic day-to-day world. Critically acclaimed composer Josh Nelson and his hand-picked international ensemble have previously appeared on the Rhymoi productions of "Starry Sky" and "The Voice of the World."  Praised at home and abroad, they have come together once again to perform these exquisitely crafted arrangements, so full of innocence and yearning, with a few surprises added for good measure!
