leowulffan every morning at 6 am they blast the song throughout the city to mark the start of the working day, and to make everyone remember and fear the death of the former general Kim il sung (i believe its this general) You should look it up, it is very intriguing, the name of the song is “where are you, dear general”
this song is called "where are you dear general" and it's fine when you listen to the recording, but since it's played over sirens, the wavelength of the sound increases with distance and turns it into this slow horror melody
As an audio engineer I have to correct you that the wavelength does not increase by distance. The sound just loses highs and lows and sounds washed out. The reason why it sounds so broken is the distortion of the bad speakers
@@snobbingas189Listen to the actual song "Where are you, Dear General?" , performed by the Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble, and it sounds much better, and not terrifying?
I find it motivating. I'm not joking. It's pushing me towards uncertainty. This music is a symbol of uncertainty and fear. All it does is to motivate me to walk through all uncertainties of my life and learn the valuable lessons that it teaches.
And mind you, Pyongyang is the most desirable part of the entire country of North Korea in which to live, with the most comforts and conveniences. Only well-connected people are allowed to live there - and this is what it's like.
It's called "where are you dear general" song about an army women looking for the secret camp of general KIM IL SUNG during the anti Japanese Fatherland Liberation War
the song you are hearing right now is the instrumental version of “Where are you my dear general” and is part of the mind control. every morning at 6am people hear this in pyongyang. the speakers stem from the soviet era which explains the creepy vibe to the sound of the song. its meant to be this depressing, to make sure people are filled with fear and emptiness so that they can work for the regime basically
@@maxand.1462 On Sunday they play Metallica Master Of Puppets. (Obviously I'm trying to be funny, but as I write this, the title seems to fit, doesn't it ?😬)
master of meme it’s played every morning as a memorial to the soldiers that died in the Korean War from their side. East Germany had something like this as well. “Dank euch ihr Sowjetsoldaten”.
I recall reading somewhere that they play this at 6AM and 11PM, daily except for Sundays. Oh yeah! Play me THIS soul-crushing noise before I go to sleep, and do it every night. You wake up from a bad dream and then the REAL nightmare begins!
The USSR stopped using street speakers for radio in the 1970s. But most houses had a wired radio outlet. I stayed at my grandma's house in the early 2000s where this still worked. You'd get the anthem of Russia come on at 6 a.m., she used that as an alarm. Not nearly as eerie as this shit though, and you can turn it off if you want. Fun fact - the radio doesn't work at night, so if you remove a protective resistor in the radio socket you can broadcast to the whole apartment block!
@@leboiboiboi lmao Hong Kong is shit now, it's not what it used to be, small, CCP, protest, dangerous, ridiculously expensive, even more expensive than New York, London. great city for Blade Runner fan is Tokyo, the price is still high but the city is fun to visit, and the whole city look epic as shit
I’m guessing this is played twice a day once when the work day begins and once when the work day concludes. The people of Pyongyang must despise it in the day and love it at night
Is no one going to acknowledge how beautiful the metro station looks in North Korea. I guess not, since everyone out here just wants to focus on the negatives of the country. Oddly enough, people all around the world never focus on the positives of North Korea, but always try and focus on the positives of any other country.
Welcome. Welcome to City 17. You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers. I thought so much of City 17 that I elected to establish my Administration here in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by our benefactors. I have been proud to call City 17 my home. And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown, welcome to City 17. It's safer here.
It's actually a beautiful musics, but the speaker and the synths makes it creepy for outsiders, for who usual listen it, it is kinda beautiful and noisy
i think it sounds nice. kind of an acquired taste though. it's also way overblown. it's played at the main railway station at its opening and closing hours, and from what i can tell, nowhere else.
That is the morning melody played everyday in Pyongyang, North Korea.
Except Sundays
@@costa2k1 what time on other days ´?
@@daWizard. 6am I've heard
More specifically in the railway station.
@Henry-Bart Nah i heard that the song is like a ritual to worship the leaders. And also to wake people but it still doesn't make much sense.
"Don't forget, you're here forever", perfectly captured in music form.
They should blast some Funky Town instead.
Nah it's just nice melody. You call it horror because you know the backstory.

this isn't a melody that would wake up a person and motivate them to their great day, it's a melody of suicide thoughts ._.
Unfortunately m8, Suicide is illegal in NK.
You don't want to break the law and unintentionally send your entire family to the Gulags, do you?
But somehow this makes it kinda moving in all its sombre darkness. The terrible audio quality helps as well. I find it haunting
@Kihyoo기휴 so he wrote this song about himself?

The title of this song is " Where are you, Dear General " a song from their late leader Kim Jong il :)
Its Kim Il sung my grandpa
Not my father
Imagine his Spirit is roaming around and this is the background music
Literally i heard that song so much now. They literally only hear that it seems.
This will definitely have an effect on the human mind, especially if it is heard to often. Maybe even causing insanity.
Nope at all if you listen to the real version, not the synths from old speaker.
I wonder if they had such depressing horror melodies in the Soviet-union too.
NordikFilm the actual song, "Where are you my dear general?" Is a phenomenal piece, the choir version is astounding
I can tell you that we didn't have this in the PRL, and I don't think it happened in the USSR either.

this shit slaps imma sample it and make a playboi carti type beat

It would scare the crap outta me 😰

Its good to hear NK appreciate Gary Numan
This is good morning wake up music
the citizens hear this so much that they cant even consciously hear it anymore

Would be amazing if there were doom metal riffs applied to it.
The music reminds me of the soundtrack "Freedom at Last" from Battlefield 4
It's actually a beautiful musics, but the speaker and the synths makes it creepy for outsiders, for who usual listen it, it is kinda beautiful and noisy
It’s a song called Dear leader I think
Very subjective what is "depressing".
I find it somber, a peacefull signal that the day is over.
Problem is it's played at 6am before the day even starts
you would not be saying all that if you heard this melody in a different setting on different speakers.
That sounds awesome though
Whatever it is, it sounds really sad
These poor people.
they are not poor
I know its 6 am in the morning
i think it sounds nice. kind of an acquired taste though. it's also way overblown. it's played at the main railway station at its opening and closing hours, and from what i can tell, nowhere else.
What time does the nighttime music usually play?? And how many times does it play every night?
Sounds like the intro a late 90’s Korn album.
It's beautiful but sad that it's forced on them.
I love this music is so melancholic instill love to its people
This is good morning wake up music
If depression where a country, this is what it would look like.
Damn this song really is the bomb…
Death agony despair hunger this theme goes well with north Korea.
This sounds like something I would hear in Majora Mask.
I actually love it
Jeeze.. makes me glad to be living where I am today!!!!
This is like westworld season 3, very dystopian
Do they play it in every city/town? Or only in Pyongyang?
It sounds like the bgm I heard in the horror game "A house for Alesa".

Fits Perfectly for the "Menu" Theme
