Glittering Drops, released in 2005, is a gentle and uplifting collection of New Age instrumental music that blends soft piano melodies with atmospheric soundscapes. The album, also known by its Chinese title 雨后阳光 ("Sunshine After the Rain"), delivers a soothing musical journey filled with warmth, introspection, and spiritual serenity.

Opening with “Love Echo,” the album sets a tender and romantic tone that flows seamlessly into the title track “Glittering Drops,” where delicate piano notes mimic the sparkle and rhythm of raindrops. Each composition is short and refined, creating snapshots of emotion rather than grand movements. “Original Color Of Life” and “Eyedrop Malediction” continue the introspective theme, using minimalistic arrangements to explore deeper feelings of melancholy and hope.

The album also features well-known spiritual and traditional pieces such as “Morning Has Broken,” “Nearer My God To Thee,” and “Amazing Grace.” These renditions are simple yet heartfelt, emphasizing the piano’s purity and emotional range. Tracks like “Soul Holy Hall” and “Bless This House” maintain a devotional mood, ideal for quiet moments of reflection or prayer.

One of the highlights is “Rose In Wind And Rain,” a beautifully emotional finale that captures both the fragility and resilience of the human spirit. The mix of original compositions and adapted hymns gives the album a universal quality—touching listeners regardless of background.

Overall, Glittering Drops is an ideal soundtrack for relaxation, meditation, or unwinding after a long day. With its peaceful melodies and spiritual undertones, it offers a sense of calm and comfort, like sunlight breaking through after a gentle rain.
