With You Are Not Alone, Dr. Alejandro Estrada delivers a deeply personal and beautiful blend of alternative rock, synth-pop, and dark wave. As a practicing urologist, Estrada draws directly from his experiences with patients, creating a song that speaks to the quiet anguish of waiting for life-altering medical news.

Opening with a spoken letter to a patient, the lyrics capture the tense, often isolating moments before receiving a diagnosis. Repeated phrases like “They’re waiting… You’re sweating cold… I’m afraid so…” evoke the emotional weight both patients and physicians endure. Estrada’s restrained yet emotive delivery brings a raw honesty to the track, supported by brooding synth layers, steady beats, and atmospheric guitar lines that create a cinematic, immersive soundscape.
The accompanying music video takes the song’s theme even further, using live bacteria and fungi cultures in petri dishes to create living, evolving visuals. These biological artworks serve as a striking metaphor for finding unexpected beauty in clinical spaces and difficult moments.
