Wake-up call.MP4

The tyrants' call to their servants to wake up. To us, this may sound like the ice cream man approaching. But to ordinary North Koreans, this serves as a daily reminder of who their masters are. Realize that, and it sounds a lot more horrible. What you hear is the bell tower of Pyongyang central station as it sounds every morning at 6 am (except Sunday). We recorded it from the balcony of our hotel room (Koryo hotel)

Kim got tired of waiting for Half-Life 3 so he made it himself.

[Doowoo]

"Welcome. Welcome, to City 17
You have chosen, or been chosen
To relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers"

[paigerenee]

Imagine waking up to this... Every. Single. Day. You’ve been told this is the best country.. and that is why you cannot leave. You wake up in this dystopia.. listening to this. You look over at your living room wall with your countries 2 former leaders framed upon it,

“Is this all there is?”

[Arturest]

This song is creepy, it made me feel very scared for some reason. I can imagine (well I can't) how it is to live in this alien country.

[peppermintswirl]

It's strangely fitting for a place like this. Makes it feel other-worldly, an alternate universe, or another race of creatures.

[wifferste]

This tune is not from the bell tower. It is coming from the PA system at Pyongyang's train station. It's also played in the evening.

[alexthegrape]

If I set this as my alarm every morning I would IMMEDIATELY get out of bed and turn it off, and I would be thankful that I don't live in NK

[nqh]

So that's where 90% of Pyongyang's electricity goes...

[DCNRSYT]

Sounds like a song that would play in the post apocalyptic world.

[denjisantos]

I will not wonder if I saw somebody will jump from the building.

[tomwright]

The fact that the song echoes around the whole town scares me beyond relief, I was scared of sleeping this song haunts me so much.

[vintagehaynesflute]

Sounds like something out of an end of the world zombie apocalypse movie!

[ubiased]

It sounds very depressing as if you are on your way to the funeral. 

[Dannzt]

What kind of scary ass ice cream trucks came to your neighborhood?

[jc]

I wonder if the frequency of the music has any psychological affect on the people? It's meant to be foreboding. Where I live they play the national anthem at midnight, every night.

[OWD-vkcy]

this stuff is really dystopian, even darker than soviet union. literally hopeless country

[MrAnimason]

Damn, I want an open world horror game where the whole city has this atmosphere now. This is just so horribly creepy.

[tobiasgreeeen]

The song is way more beautiful when you listen to how it actually sounds, but this version, coming from the probably decades old speakers, sounds like a cry of despair.

[froogsleegs]

that would grind you down and break your spirit for sure. the first thing you hear every morning is the saddest song in the world, reminding you that you are here.

[theranredguardist]

This song is called: Where are you dear General?
