Reacting to ATEEZ(에이티즈) 윤호 'Be alright' | ATEEZ Present

Comments

The intent of the song it is to confort as I see. We feel isolated like the only person in the whole world when we are in our worse moments while depressed and is a very peculiar pain. To me personally ressonated a lot with myself young, crying alone at night looking at the sky and questioning myself if there was a place for me in this world, cause I was too different from my family, there was pressure and expectations from them to me, but there was not confort. Never really had a safe place and this was so difficult growing up. Like as always I think Ateez never like the idea of giving one of those songs without a bit a hope in the end, cause we all need it to keep moving. To me music is very connected with emotions and they complement those moments when you need someone but you don't have, So I can see myself crying in a very difficult moment and having this song to make me company. U apologized for crying but crying is normal, we should not apologize for it, we need physically to relieve all the stress inside, to let go a bit of those feelings that choke us. The comment section of the song is filled with atinys that are hurt and needed to feel undertood somehow. We all do, we just don't always have another person to do that even while surrounded by them. We need to believe in a better tomorrow so we will be alright, always one step at time, in our pace and the way that feels more confortable. You are not alone in the battle Laurel, we all fight everyday in our own personal struggels. Being emotional is ok, cry as much as you need but dont forget to laugh as much as you can too :D

The song's intent IS to elicit an emotional response from the listener. So you shouldn't feel compelled to apologize for doing just that. Also that urge to 'protect' your loved ones with the "but I'm okay" tag when talking about your feelings is so relatable. When I told family and friends I'd started therapy I found myself adding "I'm safe. I'm perfectly safe." to the end of my admission every time. (Part of this was the standard 'if you are in immediate danger...' disclaimer every time I tried to talk to a therapist). Almost as a way of saying "I want to be open and honest with you, and I don't want you to worry about missing a phone call from me." Like I was trying to take pressure off of them preemptively. And now I wonder if in fact at least a little bit of it was me trying to not admit to myself exactly how bad I *was* feeling in the worst of it. Was I trying to convince myself as much as my family? Relatable, deeply.

Thank you for sharing your reaction, for not apologizing for crying on camera, and for sharing some of your story. I can't make it through this song without crying and it's almost always during the halfway point where the song starts to turn towards finding the light that gets me. I hope you continue to lean on your connections when things are hard.
