You're Not Alone

“Don’t get tired, don’t give up. No matter how hard the obstacle you have, always overcome. When it’s too difficult, when it’s too tiring, I will lend you my back from behind. You can set down your burdens at anytime.” –Kim Bo Kyung, Don’t Think You’re Alone (OST. School 2013) [translated lyrics]

Through this song, we’ve been told about friendship. Form of love is not only in a form of relationship between man-woman, but also in a form of friendship. Despite the grim reality that students must battle every day in school, they still have their friends and teachers who care a lot and always there for them. “Don’t rush and think ahead. When you feel like sleeping, lean against the wall. Give your exhausted body a momentary time for rest. Don’t think that you’re alone, don’t cry saying that it’s hard. You and I, we know.” For bestfriends, it’s us against the world. Not only on good times, but also in bad times, friends are always there. No matter what situation you’re put in, never forget your dreams. No matter how hard it is, don’t think that you’re alone. No matter how difficult it is, bestfriends stay forever and get through together. Whether it is laughter or pain, we’re struggling together for a better future. And that’s all what friends are for.

Kim Bo Kyung dengan vokalnya yang memukau berhasil menjadikan “Don’t Think You’re Alone” sebagai lagu ballad yang indah. Lagu ini merupakan hasil karya dari kerjasama produser Group DN dengan komposer Kang Dong Yoon yang telah berpengalaman menggarap soundtrack berbagai serial drama populer. The song has detailed lyrics, deep string sounds and the best session performance, making it a perfect song all around, and or course a great soundtrack for “School 2013”.

“For better days to come, we should keep praying and trying, and can’t stop now. Don’t think that you’re alone, don’t cry saying that it’s hard. You and I, we know. Lean against my back, and if you endure through this world, you already had given me a great dream. When it comes to us, let’s struggling together, and let’s feel the pain together.” –Kim Bo Kyung, Don’t Think You’re Alone (OST. School 2013) [translated lyrics]
