Ben – Deep Sorrow
‘Stories of people at the center of the war called politics, the world moves again’

JTBC Monday-Tuesday Drama ‘The Aide: People Make The World Go Round’ OST Part.2

Ben, the queen of digital music with her unique sensibility and outstanding singing ability, takes the stage as the second part of the ‘The Aide 2’ OST with ‘Deep Sorrow’.

Since her solo debut, Ben has participated in various album activities and various drama OSTs, earning nicknames such as ‘Reliable Ben’, ‘OST Queen’, and ‘Eardrum Girlfriend’, thus establishing herself as a top solo female singer with her exceptional vocal skills. It is expected that she will once again show her strength with this song ‘Deep Sorrow’, which captures her clear voice and poignant emotions.

The song further enhances the immersion of the drama by capturing the subtly changing relationships and emotions of characters beloved by viewers as the ‘ambitious couple’ Jang Tae-jun (Lee Jung-jae) and Kang Sun-young (Shin Min-a), along with Yoon Hye-won (Lee Elijah) and Han Do-kyung (Kim Dong-jun), through Ben’s heartfelt emotions.

‘Deep Sorrow’ is a work by the rising music producer team AIMING MUSIC, known for hit songs like MC The Max’s ‘Overflowing’, ‘Four Seasons’, ‘Inevitably’, N.Flying’s ‘Rooftop Room’, drama ‘Beauty Inside’ OST Wendy ‘Goodbye’, Monday Kiz ‘Words I Don’t Want to Say’, starting with a calm piano arpeggio and unfolding into a splendid string line in the chorus, providing deep emotion in harmony with Ben’s wide range of emotional expression.

Additionally, the climax features a wonderful combination of Ben’s clear voice followed by the performance of guitarist ‘Jukjae’. ‘Jukjae’ has been active as a guitar session for top singers such as Kim Dong-ryul, Park Hyo-shin, IU, Taeyeon, and has gained popularity as a singer-songwriter, actively participating in music variety shows like ‘Begin Again’.

JTBC Monday-Tuesday drama ‘The Aide 2’ is a drama that depicts the survival story in Yeouido of ‘Member of Parliament Jang Tae-jun’, who tries to reverse the sacrifices and costs he had to pay due to his choices, airing every Monday and Tuesday at 9:30 PM.

Lyrics

#

어둠이 짙게 내리고 (Eodumi jitge naerigo)
As darkness falls heavily

어느새 밤은 다시 또 오고 (Eoneusae bameun dasi tto ogo)
Before I know it, night comes again

원하지 않아도 다시 해가 뜨듯이 (Wonhaji anhado dasi haega tteudeusi)
Like the sun rises again even if I don’t want it to

우릴 향한 운명인 걸 (Uril hyanghan unmyeongin geol)
It’s our destiny heading towards us

좋았던 날을 기억해 (Joatdeon nareul gieokhae)
Remember the good days

우리가 함께 걸었던 이길 (Uriga hamkke georeotdeon igil)
This path we walked together

언젠가 서로를 그냥 바라봐 주던 (Eonjenga seororeul geunyang barabwa judeon)
When we simply looked at each other someday

그때 그대로 우리 다시 (Geuttae geudaero uri dasi)
Just like that time, us again

한숨만 거칠게 한숨만 내쉬던 (Hansumman geochilge hansumman naeswideon)
Only sighing roughly, only exhaling sighs

그런 하루 끝에 그대가 손 내밀면 (Geureon haru kkeute geudaega son naemilmyeon)
At the end of such a day, if you reach out your hand

하얗게 번져가던 하루 끝에서 (Hayahge beonjyeogadeon haru kkeuteseo)
At the end of a day that was fading to white

한숨만 더 내 쉬고 나면 (Hansumman deo nae swigo namyeon)
If I just sigh a bit more

그대네요 (Geudaeneyo)
It’s you

모든 게 내 탓이라며 (Modeun ge nae tasiyameyo)
Saying everything is my fault

하나 둘 내 곁에서 떠나면 (Hana dul nae gyeoteseo tteonamyeon)
One by one, they leave my side

어느 것 하나도 바랄 수가 없었던 (Eoneu geot hanado baral suga eopseotdeon)
I couldn’t wish for anything

그 길 끝에서 그대와 나 (Geu gil kkeuteseo geudaewa na)
You and I at the end of that path

한숨만 거칠게 한숨만 내쉬던 (Hansumman geochilge hansumman naeswideon)
Only sighing roughly, only exhaling sighs

그런 하루 끝에 그대가 손 내밀면 (Geureon haru kkeute geudaega son naemilmyeon)
At the end of such a day, if you reach out your hand

하얗게 번져가던 하루 끝에서 (Hayahge beonjyeogadeon haru kkeuteseo)
At the end of a day that was fading to white

한숨만 더 내 쉬고 나면 (Hansumman deo nae swigo namyeon)
If I just sigh a bit more

그대네요 (Geudaeneyo)
It’s you

하루 종일 앞만 보다가 (Haru jongil apman bodaga)
Spending the whole day just looking forward

지금 어디에 우린 어디인가요 (Jigeum eodie urin eodiingayo)
Where are we now, where are we

한숨만 내쉴게요 (Hansumman naeswilgeyo)
I will just sigh

많은걸 원하지 않아요 조그만 (Manheungeol wonhaji anhayo jogeuman)
I don’t want much, just a little

내 위로가 내게 닿기를 기도해요 (Nae wiroga naege dahgireul gidohaeyo)
I pray that my comfort reaches me
