Here's a little bit of political detail/thoughts about this song:

When I wrote the song, the main influence and inspiration was North Korea. Sounds weird at first, but I was and still am interested in the living conditions of North Korean citizens. You may have heard stories about their oppressive government. I saw a movie and several videos about labor camps and was shocked over the conditions people have to live in, how they're treated and how they're put under surveillance. It is cruel and many people are executed because in their despair they disregarded the camp's rules.
Many people get deported because they're in disagreement with the government. To me it seems that they're not allowed to have a mind of their own.
So if people don't follow the dictatorship, and the government notices, they will be brought to a labor camp as a punishment. Their existence will be wiped out by the government as they mysteriously "disappear". Mostly they're pronounced dead to the rest of the nation, as they rarely survive those labor camps, but people know what's going on.
To North Korean citizens, deported people are called "The people who are sent to the mountains", and that's how I came up with the song title.

The song ends abruptly, just as abruptly as the North Korean government ends a human life.

Owcean - The people who are sent to the mountains

This one is a bit calmer (and maybe relaxing?)
While I was playing I figured out that that one riff sounds pretty nice with delay.
I used it as an undertone for almost the complete song. I found it pretty hard to let this song end and I had to figure out another riff, as I thought that that beginning riff will be a bit monotone if I would've used it for the whole song.
It took me some time to write the second half of that song, and I think it's hearable aswell.
I'm not 100% confortable with the middle part, as the change from the first to the second half is a bit too harsh IMO.
Also my recording software started to anger me because it constantly hung up.

I hope I'll handle this problem and will improve with the next song. =p
Thanks for listening!

Got a little bored, so I made this in aproximately 30 mins. :D
Came up with that tapping riff in the beginning and I kinda liked it.
Had to record this, otherwise that riff would've been neutralized by maths and physics in my brain.
