Special to @beg2ne1 @NavNeram @bombaramboram3746 @T-araLover

Happy 2nd anniversary to T-ARA's 2021 comeback album "Re:T-ARA"!, and to celebrate, I did a Metal Guitar Cover of their iconic legendary OT8 ballad from their "Day By Day" album (also "Mirage" repackaged) as well

Here it is my Metal Guitar Cover of T-ARA's ballad hit from their "Day By Day" album, which is "Don't Leave"

First of all, this song is one of the most important T-ARA song to cover, and this song is one of my favorite T-ARA ballads ever besides "Falling U" as well as "We Were in Love" (feat. Davichi), and this song also showcases Areum's rap as well as Eunjung, Hyomin and Hwayoung's rap, and to be honest, this is one of my favorite song to showcase how great and angelic Soyeon's voice is, and this song has the most cinematic orchestral arrangement which sounds grande epicness that matches perfectly with their OT8 "Day By Day" lineup, and I also love how sweet is Jiyeon's vocals as well

Aside from that, arrangement wise, I made it into more Heavier Metal influenced (in the style of FamilyJules) as well, for this song's orchestrations, I did that more spontanously because this song has those epic orchestrations that I mentioned earlier, and I tried to put the orchestration into the Metal arrangements and IT SOUNDS MUCH INCREDIBLE AS WELL, thinking most of Dream Theater songs that has those cinematic orchestral strings as well, riff wise, I wrote all of those guitar riffs myself, notably I put those chugging riffs at Hwayoung's first rap part as well as the second verse (Qri and Boram's part), also I put those guitar solo right after the second chorus and at Areum and Eunjung melodic rap part as well, and of course, Hope you like it!

I do not own or claim ownership of this music!

Lyrics - Hangul:
Yeah T-ARA
Don't leave me alone

잊기엔 너무 사랑했나봐
아직도 널 기다리는 나야
우리의 시간은 멈췄나봐
니가 곁에 있는 것 같아

떠나지마 떠나가지마 나를
가슴에 상처만 주고
떠나지마 이런 날 울리지는마
나에게 돌아와줘

여지껏 살아왔던 일생에 단 한 번
미치도록 아껴줬던 사람은 너란걸
이별이란 파편에 죽은 내 사랑이
가여워 괴로워 이 밤은 또 외로워
Baby don't know why
꽃잎이 떨어진 것처럼 니 몸도 멀어져버려
거울에 비친 미친 여자같은 내 모습은 마치
불안한듯 몸을 떨고 있지
슬픔의 큰 깊이 눈물 흘리지

내리는 비에 눈물 감추면
우리추억 모두 감춰질까
그리운 니 이름을 지우면
너의 얼굴 다 지워질까

떠나지마 떠나가지마 나를
가슴에 상처만 주고
떠나지마 이런 날 울리지는마
나에게 돌아와줘

너의 옷자락에 넣어둔 내 마음은
찢거나 버리거나 숨기거나 태운대로
향수처럼 남어 그림처럼
보여 낙인처럼 새겨져
버렸음을 기억해 don't wanna cry
니가 내 세상이던 날들이 날 괴롭혀
니가 내 법이었던 추억들이 사무쳐
인연의 끈을 놓을수가 없어
널 이대로는 보낼 수가 없어

소리쳐도 소리쳐 불러봐도
넌 지금 어디있는지
떠나지마 이런 날 울리지는마
나에게 돌아와줘

너무나 아픈 사람
이별이란 파편에 죽은
내 사랑이 가여워 괴로워
이 밤은 또 외로워
꽃잎이 떨어진것처럼 니 몸도 멀어져버려
너의 옷자락에 넣어둔 내 마음은
향수처럼 남어 그림처럼 남어
이별이란 파편에 죽은 내 사랑이
가여워 괴로워 이밤은 또 외로워
