It starts in a desert and ends with being with you
Woody's full-length stage session is up. Four songs in a row.

In three lines
- Woody's full-length stage session is up.
- The four songs are '사막에서 꽃을 피우듯', '혹시 세상에 혼자 남겨진 것 같다면', '길냥이' and '너랑 있으면'.
- The first and last songs sit at opposite ends.

The order of four
| Order | Song |
|---|---|
| 1 | 사막에서 꽃을 피우듯 (Like Flowering in a Desert) |
| 2 | 혹시 세상에 혼자 남겨진 것 같다면 (If You Feel Left Alone in the World) |
| 3 | 길냥이 (Street Cat) |
| 4 | 너랑 있으면 (When I'm With You) |
An order running from alone to together
Line up just the titles and a story appears.
A desert is a place with nothing in it, and the second title contains the word 'alone' outright. The third, '길냥이', is a cat living on the street — no fixed place of its own. Only at the end does 'with you' arrive.
It's an arrangement that begins alone and ends together. Whether that ordering was deliberate isn't knowable, but that's how it reads.
A title made of a conditional
The second title is '혹시 세상에 혼자 남겨진 것 같다면' — a sentence ending in 'if'.
A conditional is an unfinished sentence. It states a condition with no outcome, leaving what follows empty. A title cut off here means the song supplies the rest.
It also opens with '혹시' — a hedging word, careful rather than certain. That's the standard posture of a song meant to comfort, and this one puts it right in the title.
The position of a cat that lives on the street
The third song, '길냥이', is a colloquial word for a stray cat — not the formal term, but one people made themselves.
The word holds affection and distance at once. It isn't the relationship of taking one in, yet it's close enough to give it a name. Neither a complete stranger nor one's own.
Its place as the third of four fits. Between the two solitary songs and the closing one about being together sits a relationship that's nearby without being attached.
Today, like this
Play the four in order. Whether the story the titles sketch carries through in sound is the first thing to check.
Then supply an ending to the second song's conditional and see what outcome the song gives.
The last title, '너랑 있으면', is also cut short — what happens when you're with them isn't written. Both the first and last songs leave their second halves blank.
A new song has arrived at the playground today.
