Two of the three titles are conditionals
Song Ha-ye's full-length stage session is up. Three songs in a row.

In three lines
- Song Ha-ye's full-length stage session is up.
- The three songs are '그대라서', '떠날 거면 날 사랑하지나 말지' and '다시 만나면 안될까'.
- All three titles take a different sentence form.

The order of three
| Order | Song |
|---|---|
| 1 | 그대라서 (Because It's You) |
| 2 | 떠날 거면 날 사랑하지나 말지 (If You Were Going to Leave, You Shouldn't Have Loved Me) |
| 3 | 다시 만나면 안될까 (Couldn't We Meet Again) |
Three titles, three different forms
The first, '그대라서', gives a reason. The ending '-라서' explains a cause. Except the second half is missing, so what it's the cause of is left blank.
The second, '떠날 거면 날 사랑하지나 말지', is a reproach. '-지나 말지' is used about something that would have been better left undone.
The third, '다시 만나면 안될까', is a question. There's no question mark, but the form asks.
Reason, reproach, question. Three songs each addressing in a different way.
The subjunctive in the middle track
The second title contains a condition: 'if you were going to leave'.
The tense is knotted. It's said after the leaving, yet it goes back to before the leaving to set a condition. A structure that says of something already done that it would have been better not to.
The third is also a conditional — 'if we meet again'. But this one looks forward. The second supposes a past; the third supposes a future.
It begins with a reason and ends with a question
The first song gives a reason; the last asks.
Giving a reason is something you can do alone. Explanation doesn't require the other person. A question does — someone has to answer.
An order moving from speech that works alone to speech that needs someone. And a reproach sits between them.
Today, like this
Play the three in order. Whether the shift from reason to reproach to question registers in sound is the first thing to check.
Then find what follows '그대라서' in the first title. The song fills the space the title left empty.
The last song asks but has no question mark. Whether it expects an answer is decided there.
A new song has arrived at the playground today.
