During the period when the whole country was in grief at the unexpected loss of the father of the nation, the famous song of the times "We Are Yearning for Your Sunny Smile" was composed, which represents the strong yearning of the people for the smiling President.

The song "Our Leader Will Always Be with Us", an all-people hymn for the immortality of the leader and a monumental masterpiece of the times, reverberated far and wide throughout the country on the occasion of the first anniversary of the demise of the President.

Songs have been created in praise of the exploits of the peerlessly great man who regarded Believing in the People as in Heaven as his motto and dedicated his whole life to putting it into practice.

The schoolchildren in such songs as "Thank You, Generalissimo Kim Il Sung" expressed their deepest thanks to the President who spared nothing for the younger generations.

Songs were composed to depict the Korean people's pride and honor of bringing about proud victories and great changes in socialist construction true to the behests of the President.
