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
@@northkorea8811 North Korea best Korea
It's the opposite it's beautiful
@@northkorea8811 North Koreans don’t have Internet so you’re likely a westerner cosplaying as a North Korean ya damn tankie
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
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??
@@LockheedFan Don't you think it's unfair to compare a city's population to a video which people all around the world saw?
Everybody gangsta till you hear this playing in the morning at your place
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.
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...
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
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 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
@@coldramentpm1013 implying that he wants to, lol nice
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?
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.

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.
Gabriele Solletico
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.
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.
i will upload and use as a ring tone at 6AM every day since now
GwB1967AR. like !
GwB1967AR haha
I play this music like they in 6AM in capital city
thats what i have done
I thought the same thing... I also get up at 6 everyday. :D
All the jokes aside this tune really hits different I lost my father to cancer couple of months ago nd this song just brought all the memories everything back...now living just feels worthless.
Damn dawg, sorry for the loss
You good bro?
Make him proud. Remember what he taught you.
Living is not worthless! How are you doing now, friend?

Imagine waking up yo this every morning, 365 for your entire life.
Try North Korea, they listen to it every morning, but it sounds errie
I do that. It's awesome!
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

And it was composed by the Great General Kim Jong-Il, nevertheless! God bless the motherparty!
This is actually a sad song
@@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
This is actually pretty nice and calming.
this is much better than the version where they play this song on a crappy loudspeaker

He most likely was deported to North Korea. That's why there is no response.
It's a funeral hymn. It's ethereal and mysterious, serves its purpose well.

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.
I wake up to this every morning and it makes it awesome
Man this is awesome. I put it every night to fall asleep. Better calming sensation I ever felt
This song needs to be preserved for all time
this actually sounds pretty good, unlike the scuffed version

Hey, this is a beautiful piece of music.
yes, many dictatorships used music as their propaganda tool
Even though I'm far from a communist and a follower of Juche, I have to admit that this song is melancholic and beautiful.
موسيقي غريبه وجميله تشعر وكانها من اعماق الماضي الدافئ واحلام الاجداد بالمجد وكفاحهم علي مر الاجيال

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.
Hyon Song-wol Has a beautiful voice ! love her songs
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.
عند سماع هذه الاغنية أتذكر الماضي الحنين غنية حساسة . احس بالهدوء عند سماعها❤
I feel somewhat morally compromised saying this is a beautiful song.
honestly this is MY JAM

meh democracy do what ever you want
@@northkorea8811, Thanks, man.
Why would you get prosecuted? For listening to music?
This is such an amazing song man, I just love this piece, It’s epic!
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
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 has an epic feel. It is a song of greatness...
6:00 am in pyongyang
Also, 11 P.M.
Every. Day.
For years
Sounds kinda like Lo-fi at first somehow.
Lofi hip hop radio- beats to mass dance/chill to
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.

LOL I thought the same thing, this music is very similar to some of MGS, especially calling to the night from Peace walker
I found the General, he's right here in my heart.
🥺 that is so cute 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations that’s where he’s supposed to be. That’s why every North Korean wears a badge every time they go outside

Supreme Headquarters
ITS ACTUALLY VERY GOOD! very sad
***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.
😭 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
Can't wait for the Kim Jong Un version now that he himself is gone, where are you dear rocket man.
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
Genius bit of prog rock from the Hermit kingdom !!!
If you click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner, you can get captions on English.
Towards the end of the song, there is rising sun. Japan 🗾🇯🇵⛩️
This is straight fire ngl 🔥🔥
Is there a limit of full words that you can type out?
This is religious music in NK
beautiful voice and lyrics thanks hermit kingdom
Every morning on pyongyang that song be played, look like Muslim Adzan time pray in Indonesia and WORLD and look like Puja Mantra in Bali Indonesia... it is a marker greet the morning... The Country of North Korean... May 2, 2017...
It's normal for a place where a bad person is a dictator
except that Indonesia has azan to call muslims to pray.
The azan lasts like 1minute and it's not horrible
@@j.s.4819 Real dictator is US Biden!
As eerie as the morning wakeup playing the same song every single day is, this version is quite beautiful. Haunting yet hopeful... 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.
This should the version that should be put
_Not the slow one.. if you guys know what I mean.._
I
agree.
I do, the slow one is... not good...
It's because of their ancient, terrible speakers they use plus them using loud version that it's distorted
@@아리랑-f2k tbh I like the sound of old and distorted speakers tbh
@@아리랑-f2k funny how a cult of personality blinded people from making a high quality sound system for their glorious propoganda.
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
drill wtf
wats in ur freezer tfw americans’ heros are spider-man and the joker so they don’t fucking exist nor have they actually done anything meaningful for you
drill you fucking killed him dude
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
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)
Imma try and sample this shit
feature me
And me let's make it lit
Sample is one way ticket to cample
Did you sample it?
this is fire for a sample
I like the melody (though I'm sure I wouldn't if I were forced to listen to it every morning), but it would have been a whole lot nicer if they had just had a traditional orchestra record it, instead of doing this cheesy pop version with the synths, drum set, bass line and everything...
LOL I kinda like the synths, you can definitely hear the Soviet influence in the music
That would've been terrible you mongrel
LIke em or hate em, they certainly know how to write very emotionally moving, powerful music.
Koreans in general know to do it. They are a great people.
A truly beautiful song in this dark forest. I love it.
it sounds so lovely, and then they play the sounds of actual hell in pyongyang
I bet the real writers of this are pissed off at the old boy taking credit for this!
This version is better than the one they play at 6AM
I love the description
This was back when MTV was actually good.
Fun fact: the stadium shown in the beginning of this video is called the Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, for many years it was the largest stadium in the world (some sources say its capacity was 150,000) but recently was passed by India's Narendra Modi Stadium.
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
감사드립니다.
What if this was the credits song for the COVID-2019 pandemic when we all survived it? Now that would be something.
Its being years without General
Awesome quality
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.
