YOU NEVER WALK ALONE: New Tracks

YOU NEVER WALK ALONE is the February 2017 repackage of WINGS, and it turned BTS from a rising group into a national one on the strength of four new songs. Where WINGS was about temptation and growing up alone, these tracks are about the people you get through it with: the aching separation of 봄날, the defiance of Not Today, the first-flight determination of Outro: Wings, and the plain promise of A Supplementary Story. The vocabulary here is unusually practical for a BTS set — everyday verbs like 기다리다, 잊다, 믿다, 걷다 and 웃다, seasonal and emotional nouns like 겨울, 그리움 and 날개, plus a few expressions such as 보고 싶다 and 손을 잡다 that carry the whole feeling of these songs.
