어쿠스틱 기타와 보컬의 단촐한 구성인 곡 'Don't Be'는 니들앤젬이 던지는 작은 위로의 메시지. 덤덤하게 노래하는 에릭의 나직한 음성은 얼어붙고 지친 마음마저 따뜻하게 녹이는 포근함으로 다가온다.
4. Don’t be
Don’t be sad
though I know you’ll be
though the skies are darkening
and stars are shivering
and you’re alone
Don’t hurt yourself
So I know you'll see
that we well deserve to be happy
It’s true
Let the unkept promise
float away from the surface
of your tired heart
Well, the trees will still sing
along with the whistles
and grin in the sun or rain
and the bow..
And I’d be glad
If at all we find a way
to share what we gather
through our days and nights
Don’t be afraid
to lay down yourself
your untold stories
and age-old glories
will decay
over time..
