The song "Honourable, Dead or Alive, When Following the Revolutionary Road" is a re-interpretation of an aria from the Korean revolutionary opera Tell O' The Forest!, one of five famous revolutionary operas in the DPRK, "written and produced under the guidance of the Dear Leader Kim Jong-il." It was "prepared for the 2015 Liberation Day concert in Ponghwa Theatre in Pyongyang, but deemed too 'confusing' by the North Korean hosts and struck from the concert repertoire."[2]
