I can imagine that growing up hearing this song every morning and night, you would eventually just not hear it anymore unless someone told you it's playing.
What if its the opposite? The music is (for whatever reason) not playing, but since you heard it every single day of your life, you keep hearing it every day at that time. Forever.
I'd say so. I grew up very close to a train station, like literally across the street. I can't ever remember hearing trains coming and going. Same at my Gran's house which was as close to a church tower that chimed every 15 minutes. Never heard them. It just becomes the background noise of your life that you take no notice of.
The song is haunting. Perfect for the dystopian world of North Korea. You are trapped and doomed to listen to this song morning and night for the rest of your life. Please if reincarnation exists never reincarnate me as a North Korean.

Hi, im an architect, i would love to use this music in creation of my masterpiece, whole process would take under listening to those 2 music ( midnight one is the second) and the final result would be animation flytrought with background filled with those 2 song.

The hypocrisy in North Korea is amazing. You see these bands performing patriotic music and propaganda songs, but they're up on stage with their Fender guitars paired with Marshall amplifiers and Roland keyboards. North Korea's government offices are also filled with computer equipment from HP and Dell.

@@_GrandZeno I don’t doubt there’s free housing, and I completely agree with that, I also really like the fact that it has little to no crime, unlike most countries and cities.

My only wish to North Korea is that they stop pretending that the country isn’t struggling, it’s apparent that sanctions are hurting the country. I do think that it has potential, but it scares the world with nuclear power and makes itself out to be an enemy state to most countries.
Ah, I love this arrangement. This is not really as sinister as it's being billed. From what I have seen of DPRK media a huge reverence is reserved for the fallen souls during the war. So it's kind of like "Thank you for giving us this. We will never forget you."
I agree, some think that this is what all North Korean music sounds like, but in fact, there are quite a few cheerful songs. This particular one is actually meant to be a lament for Kim Il Sung's death, if I'm not mistaken, so no wonder that it sounds depressing, in my opinion.
A certainly Erie song with a hint of evil but perhaps that’s because we don’t fully understand NK and are drawn to think the worst against the country. It is a shame that we cannot visit and that our countries have conflict with each other. The mountains of North Korea are one of the most beautiful.
