Pitch Black

“When the black night comes, my sadness could erase the darkness completely. Is this love? Is this just my greed? It’s not that easy. Even if my burnt pitch black heart is the same as me, there’s nothing I can do. I’m getting afraid, I don’t know anything else but that it turns dark.” –Park Shin Hye, Pitch Black (OST. Flower Boy Next Door) [translated lyrics]

Aktris cantik muda berbakat, Park Shin Hye, turut berpartisipasi dalam mengisi jajaran soundtrack serial drama yang dibintanginya, “Flower Boy Next Door”. Ia membawakan sebuah lagu berjudul “Pitch Black”, yang dirilis pada tanggal 4 Februari 2013 sebagai single “Flower Boy Next Door OST Part 4”. Lagu yang merupakan hasil karya songwriter Lee Sang Hoon ini kemudian menjadi bagian dari album “Flower Boy Next Door OST: Special Edition” yang dirilis pada tanggal 9 Maret 2013.

“Pitch Black” expresses the fear that a girl has while she begins to fall in love. Being afraid to face him, being nervous of his gestures and words, because it’s all a new experience for her. Meeting someone like him, thinking about him everyday, she’s never been this way before. She used to be alone in her own little dark world, but she feels comfortable in it. Until she meets that person, she begins to feel something else. She finds something new, which is making her feel excited and scared at the same time. Her heart has been burnt black because of her darkness in the past, so she doesn’t know what to do to face this new kind of feeling she has. Her mind turns dark and faints.

The song is released in its current version as well as an acoustic version. Pada tanggal 3 Februari 2013, sebuah music video (MV) dari lagu ini dirilis dan diunggah ke akun situs Youtube resmi milik CJ Entertainment & Media. The music video shows scenes from the drama as well as candid footage of Park Shin Hye recording the track. This song reflects the mood and dark tone of Park Shin Hye’s character Do Deok Mi, perfectly expressing the character’s self-imposed solitude and delicateness.

“For the whole day I just think of you. No matter how hard I try to hold on, there’s no use. I can’t do that, just like a fool.” –Park Shin Hye, Pitch Black (OST. Flower Boy Next Door) [translated lyrics]
