Japanese title: どちらにいらっしゃいますか、親愛なる将軍様
Performed by Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble on KCTV (Korean Central Television)
Written by Kim Jong Il in November 1971
"A True Daughter of The Party"
Is one of The Great Classic Revolutionary Operas That Was Produced Under The Direction of The Leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Il for the purpose of equiping people with a communist outlook. It tells impressively of the heroic exploits of Nurse Kang Yon Ok, a woman fighter who devoted her youth and life without hesitation to the Party and the Leader and to the revolution during the Korean War against the U.S. imperialist armed aggressors.
Kim Jong Il Always Alive in Hearts of Korean People
Pyongyang, December 23 (KCNA) -- The Korean people can hardly believe the sudden demise of leader Kim Jong Il as a reality. So they seem to communicate with him to express their inmost feelings the same way they did when he was alive.
Choe Hyang Ran, 31, work-team leader of the Indoor Swimming Pool of Kim Il Sung University, said after placing a bouquet before the portrait of smiling Kim Jong Il:
"How happy I would be if my presentation of all flowers in the country and the rest of the world would help me see again Kim Jong Il, his face beaming with a broad smile!
"We have been weeping bitterly for the last days before the place where he was seated, recollecting the tender-hearted leader who watched happy teachers and students during his visit to the swimming pool".
Kim Yong Nam, 47, artist of the Korean April 26 Children's Film Studio, said:
"All of us are sweeping snow in our compound and on roads leading to it from early morning, feeling that Kim Jong Il may enter our studio right now.
"We have spruced up our studio like a palace and prepared songs of best wishes for the leader but he passed away before appreciating them. We can never believe this."
Choe Kwang Ok, 26, told a reporter at the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital, in bitter tears with a newborn baby in her arms:
"My baby was born on the morning of the day our father Kim Jong Il breathed his last on a running train on his way of field guidance to mix with the people.
"He died at work after undergoing all sorts of hardships all his life to bring a happy future to the country. Has there ever been in the world such great popular leader as Kim Jong Il?
"He did not pass away. He is always alive in the hearts of the happy children and in the hearts of all the people who have risen from sorrow to uphold the leadership of the great Comrade Kim Jong Un."

This might just be the saddest song I've heard. Those synths are just ghostly and the singing is so emotional.
Makes sense that this was played when kim jong il died and is used as his funeral song
um bc your a westerner
@scrubthispie I did
@@northkorea8811 North Korea best Korea
It's the opposite it's beautiful
Why don’t they play this version of the song to wake up the people in Pyongyang and not the demonic version
What version?
John Pineapple one that’s extremely slowed down.
Probably because of the ancient speakers they use, and the fact that it’s only broadcast from a few places in the city.
@@StephenLynx8492 Yes due the old speakers and set to loud mode this song is terribly distorted.
It's still beautiful tho
is this kpop my friends keep talking about?
no comrade velizar, that is gaypop, _this_ is kpop
莫比 agree they're gay
Dynamic Crew mmhmm keep assuming people's sexuality.. Go ahead.
hobii sshi
Roger that,
No its kidz bop
This song is more popular than Gangnam Style, because Pyongyang inhabitants listen it everyday
Ahahahahahaha!! Underrated comment.
Not like they would want to listen to a depressing sad song everyday too in the morning they dont have any choice coz they have to follow whatever dictator does or say 😔
@@saloni2244 Pffft you'll never hear them complain comrade
cool ene??
Gangnam Style : 3.9B views. Pyongyang population : around 3 million. Nice try tho
Damn 😳 Kim Jong Il had some fire beats 🔥
On god He would kill on this beat tho 😨😨😳
Better then today’s music
Thanks bro
Kim Jong-Un woah. You’ll really take credit for anything. You didn’t write this Kimmy. Go listen to some Katy Perry
@@the-real-kimjong-un It was your father, Kim Jong Il who wrote this.
this sounds nice. until you hear it everyday for 80 years
it only started playing from 2008 though
@@leafsooki The thought of hearing that demonic version that's played in the city twice per day for 12 years now isn't much better. Although if there's ever a Fallout: New Pyongyang they definitely got their theme song for it haha
@@leafsooki Pretty sure it started playing after Kim Jong-il's death which wasn't in 2008
Not sure they live 80 years...
@@leafsooki nope they play it since Kim jong Il's era ruclips.net/video/bkYKca8pti8/видео.html Im pretty sure it started on the 80's
This song is so eerie and sad, I love it
It's alright, but thank GOD I don't have to wake up to it at 5 every day...
go ahead and move to nk then pal

Go listen to the og one... It's this but 63 times eerier
@@OmarAli-mw9gq Don't worry. Now that you've commented on here, the DPRK Video Archive channel has tracked your IP. Now, from tomorrow morning until the day you'll die, a live orchestra of 6 men, and a female singer, will follow you EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD, and you will hear this beatiful melodie every morning at 6 A. M. and every night at 11 P. M. Are you happy, now?
Everybody gangsta till you hear this playing in the morning at your place
This is actually a very beautiful, melancholy song, when you listen to this version it triggers something, Idk what but its beautifully eerie
You said it very well. It triggers some kind of… sadness and maybe even nostalgy its hard to put it into words, yet the feeling is crystal clear
@@marshalondro9692 yep! A sense of sort of unsure security
@@marshalondro9692 It's depression condensed into a song. Making your people wake up to this first thing every morning every day just kills their spirit that little bit more.
@@thecampaigner2167i'd argue the exact opposite. This song actually gives the Korean people hope and strengthens their already strong spirit, which is nurtured by the government of Korea. You're very naive if you think the spirit of the Korean people can be broken that easy.
I feel like the fbi is spying me for seeing this video
@فضا عظیم Using the name of God who gave you life in vain is blasphemy and breaking the 3rd commandment. Repent, trust in Christ and obey Him, that's the only way to heaven.

@@LockheedFan We have every proof he exists. I don't believe in God, I KNOW he exists.
@@antisatanist5017 bruh im catholic and im tired of people spamming religious things in comments that have no connection to them.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
can we all agree that the best part of this song starts from 2:04 - 2:55 like,, damn bruh a literal masterpiece
I disagree the beginning is amazing. Feels almost outta space to be honest.
north korean music has something indeed. most of it is just pure propaganda, but the music itself is beautiful.
No, 2:40 - 2:50 specifically. That is the best part. So much beauty and dignified pain.
@@Rigel644 this is computer animation gril! 😂
@@Rigel644 Thats the part where Kim Jong-il flies up in to heaven in a ufo.
You can't deny it. This sounds beautiful...
Yes. But the picture of Kim Jong Il doind the salute, while the chantors sing: "Your warm care we are yearning for..." and you KNOW that the famine killed hundred of thousands of people, in the middle 90s, in North Korea... brrrr, that gives shivers running down my spine!!
@@gabrielesolletico518 I believe the song talks about Kim Il Sung though. He died before the 90s famine
@@Λυκάων NO, this song is dedicated to (and they say it was also written by) Kim Jong Il.

I feel like writing a song about wanting yourself to come back is kinda weird. No?
@@WelloBello That's why I wrote: "THEY SAY it was also written by"... :) Bsides that, that man genuinely thought he was some kind of God, incarnated into a human body, so... who knows.
Blaring this through North Korea's 1935 loudspeakers sound like a horror film soundtrack. I will admit it's not nearly as bad here.
Did you know that theres is no north and south korea before japan invader
@@happyalltheday2275 ???
@@danielwoods3896 he means tht before Japan invaded Korea there was no south-north it was one Korea.
Another problem is that they don't have enough loadspeakers, so they'll simply play it way too loud, adding to the distorted sounding.
Herdan before that there was a unified Korea.

Try North Korea, they listen to it every morning, but it sounds errie
I do that. It's awesome!
They do not play it on Sundays
Well, no. They don't play this song during Sundays and festivity. BUT you forgot to mention that they play this song at 11 P.M. too, a part for the "concert" at 6 A.M.
It can make anyone asleep how do people wake up to this is actually a mystery
It’s actually quite pleasant when you hear it normally and without grey skyscrapers.
The skyline of P’yongyang is actually quite colourful. Shades of pastel greens, pinks, yellows, and blues are visually present in the city. Go search up a photo of P’yongyang, it’s not grey.

@@DerClouder likely produced by someone else & he took credit
@@DD-fs9xt lool very true, though I guess that person would be taken care of by the state, maybe given property and an allowance in Pyongyang

Suitable for a funeral. mournful; gloomy; dismal: a funereal aloofness that was quite chilling
Who is still listening to this wonderful song? It is seriously releasing something, the atmosphere seems different, it is enjoyable, sad, beautiful and dystopic at the same time. The feelings that I feel can't be described with words, honestly it is the most beautiful song I have ever listened...
I have a feeling I shouldn’t be watching this or I’ll get prosecuted
meh democracy do what ever you want
@@northkorea8811, Thanks, man.
Why would you get prosecuted? For listening to music?
I feel somewhat morally compromised saying this is a beautiful song.

Lol! Hey Kimmy cakes, it's actually very beautiful and haunting.
If only North Korea would quit blowing all of their money on rockets and invest in better quality speakers so this song actually sounds good when they play it every morning.

I put my alarm with this song, I feel like im woke up in pyongyang...
I wake up to the railway sation alarm (the creepy version of this song)
By now I'm already dead inside
This song needs to be preserved for all time
This song plays at the end of a 1970s zombie film, just as humanity has lost all hope and the zombies take over the city.
Sounds kinda like Lo-fi at first somehow.
Lofi hip hop radio- beats to mass dance/chill to
I wake up to this every morning and it makes it awesome
A calming, melancholic song that relishes in the hope of a paternalist figure's "warm care"...almost makes you forget that this person is a general.

Hey, this is a beautiful piece of music.
yes, many dictatorships used music as their propaganda tool
موسيقي غريبه وجميله تشعر وكانها من اعماق الماضي الدافئ واحلام الاجداد بالمجد وكفاحهم علي مر الاجيال
Man this is awesome. I put it every night to fall asleep. Better calming sensation I ever felt
I've got a strange feeling that I shouldnt be able to listen to this. And because I can, and am, that I am somehow breaking something. A rule, a guideline, either here in America or in North Korea. It's a very interesting insight into their world, the propaganda they live with.
I once read something by someone who grew up in the soviet union who said that most people who live in countries like the Soviet Union, East Germany, or in this case, North Korea, all know for the most part that they're being lied to by their government. But the lies they're being told make them happy, so they will just willingly accept them as facts in heart, and never speak about it. Not like they'd get away with discussing it, anyway.
And watching this with that knowledge gives this video an entirely knew eerie feel.
that wasn't what the russians or the germans were saying when they took down their communist governments
@@andrewuy1294 what does this have to do with communism or capitalism?
You have a completely wrong view of the Soviet Union. People regularly joked with eachother about the government and the leaders. But in formal public events you didn't say this. East Germany for example had a lot of jokes about Honecker and the SED.
But people were much freer than in the west in other respects. Work being the big one. It was heavily pro worker and employers had basically no powers, they could not fire you and you had every right to complain about the workplace. There were also many welfare programs.
A common saying in the east today is "Today in capitalism you can publically say whatever you want about the political system and the leaders of the nation but you cannot say anything about your employer. In socialism you can say whatever you want about your employers but nothing about the political system."
And the whole reason why the east had to use these measures were because the west bombarded the east with propaganda in the form of radio programs and TV broadcasts.
@@danielk3919 that's just what I was told by someone who grew up in the soviet union bro
Its called the fbi watch list friend
😭 Dear leader where are you? Guide us to you!
I really like this, bit like early Jean Michele Jarre
this REALLY reminds me of him now that you mention it
More like Isao Tomita than JMJ.
I thought that when I heard it on the loudspeakers in Pyongyang.
Yes it sounds like it was been composed by JMJ
Also listen to the electronic pochonbo ensemble, it's great
2:42 - 2:53 sounds like UFO flying away
That's because there are aliens in North Korea.
Hell no
Certainly an old song lol
@@user-hm9uq8gk5x Actually, It was written and recorded in 1971 and made in 1991.

This is such an amazing song man, I just love this piece, It’s epic!
I know North Korea is a living hell but this song is extremely beautiful. The melody is so moving
It's certainly not a great place to live. I think Western media cranks it up a bit though. There's certainly not a lot about the DPRK that's democratic.
I think that general defected.

Unfortunately we won't get one now
Lmao keep believing bourgeois propaganda about North Korea buddy
Rocket man ahahahaha lol
your the rocket man btw
rocket man, sung to the tune of ocean man
it's like an epic anime ending song. Just imagine it. The opening is like fast and full of energy most of the time, to hype people, but the ending... oh God, the ending. So gentle and soft. Like a real endgame.
just what I was thinking
Best emotion song i ever heard. Peace no war from me, Malaysian😉
00:55 does this melody sound to anyone like the first line of Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel? I can't help it but sing "Are you going to Scarborough Fair?" along to it
mbikarski OamG I was just gonna comment that. Its super similar 😅
Yeah a little bit x)
ITS ACTUALLY VERY GOOD! very sad
damn how can this goes this hard?
This is straight fire ngl 🔥🔥
Is there a limit of full words that you can type out?

this song made me cry....
Beside of bad regime or bla bla bla, i feel a really patriotic and respect from the people for their heroes. From this song. Respect for DPRK people. 😢
respect! kim il sung and kim jong il are objectively heros doe

Unfortunately we will never stop going on about the regime in that 'country' these people are living in an absolute hell. I can only feel sorrow for them
***Lyrics - (with a bit of word changes of mine)***
Supreme leader
Where are you? Where are you?
Lead us to you!
When the bright Big Dipper in the sky we see,
Fartherly General, we ask ourself where you are now.
Light shines in the window, of the supreme headquarters.
General out there somewhere, where are you sure to be?
In this dark forest, far behind enemy lines.
Our general, we wonder where he is.
Cold autumn wind blows, as we head forward.
His warm care, we are yearning constantly for.
His warm care, we are yearning constantly for.
it sounds so lovely, and then they play the sounds of actual hell in pyongyang
I am listening to this while at the same time looking at Opacity's gallery of abandoned factories and mental asylums that he explores and at a page called "Northwood Asylum", abandoned and rotting since the 1970s, with early morning sunlight filling the decaying rooms. Holy cow the combo is like something right out of a deliriant trip.
This is religious music in NK
This should the version that should be put
_Not the slow one.. if you guys know what I mean.._

It would be great in a Broadway musical about escaping North Korea lol. I find it fascinating to see how North Korea is, good and bad, without all the propaganda on both sides.
Awesome quality
Why do i like this and the vibes with the video like it feels so nostalgic especially the first and second clip
I saw this video in the NK TV yesterday :)
Beautiful composition, all things considered. I hate that I love this.
I bet the real writers of this are pissed off at the old boy taking credit for this!
It's a funeral hymn. It's ethereal and mysterious, serves its purpose well.
sounds beautiful, i like it.
