Gloomy Sunday, "Szomoru Vasarnap"
..ok...i happened to browse this one over the net...it's from another forum, am not the one
who wrote it...it's a guy named:Naixius L ...that's his nickaname...

ok here's what he wrote....
Quote
Any one hear this before? This is a movie name. This is also the movie's music name. According to urban legend, it inspired hundreds of suicides.

The songwriter, Rezso Ser-ess and his girl friend died by suicide themselves. One who hear this song will suicide themself. The song is released in 1933. In Republic of Hungary, there are 17 people hearing this song. Then, they suicided themselves by holding the disk record. People died with the record disc beside them.

The song was forbade later by the government of Republic Hungary. Even though, there are few people stealthily play this song. In Belgium, there is a person in a pub play this song again. A teenager take out his gun and pointed it to the temples. He shot himself and died there.
The cops wish to find out the truth. Hence, they send a girl cop to investigate this case. This cop buy its disc back and wish to investigate it. Unfortunately, she died after hearing the song. Cops found her posthumous papers at the scene.

Is it true? I mean is that the real song? But why did some people die after hearing it? Can I hear it since I am not interest in "love" at all?

..ive heard about it before...but i dunnow how true it is...since i haven't listen to the song personally....
...do u have any personal opinion about this?

Eya i did know about it,I'm really addicted to Urban Lagends

Fact:
  • The song "Gloomy Sunday" was connected to many suicides in Hungary
  • The song "Gloomy Sunday" was banned in Hungary because of its connection to many suicides.
  • The song "Gloomy Sunday" was banned in America because of its connection to many suicides.
The English lyrics go something like this:
Quote
Sunday is gloomy, my hours are slumberless.
Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless.
Little white flowers will never awaken you,
Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you.
Angels have no thought of ever returning you.
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you?
Gloomy Sunday.

Gloomy is Sunday; with shadows I spend it all.
My heart and I have decided to end it all.
Soon there'll be candles and prayers that are sad, I know.
Death is no dream, for in death I'm caressing you.
With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessing you.
Gloomy Sunday.

Did Rezso Seress actually commit suicide?
Rezso Seress did indeed commit suicide, jumping from a Budapest building in 1968. This portion of the legend also appears to have been embellished, with some sources claiming that he was depressed because he'd never been able to produce another hit after "Gloomy Sunday."

But theres still people/singer singing his song today.

Unbelievable?Believe it...

bit i think,
because this kind of topic always get my intention.
 Smiley

i think you should at-least try to hear the song first,
well don't worry,i did survived right Wink

if you afraid to hear the English version (afraid that you might understand the lyrics)
then try the Hungary version,
you don't really have to understand the whole song but you still can try to feel the song.
its purely sad.

Suicide songs are songs in which the most prominent lyrical sentiment is the conveying of the singer's intentions on taking their life (committing suicide). The songs often relate sorrow, madness, or grief from an unrequited love affair that occasionally plagues the afflicted one beyond the pale of physical death.

The most famous suicide song is "Gloomy Sunday", known alternatively as the "Hungarian Suicide Song". Much urban myth has shrouded the song upon its creation in the early 1920's. It is credited with causing a rash of copycat suicides amongst its lovelorn audience when it was first released. Also famous is Fade to Black (song) by Metallica.

On the other hand, Billy Joel and R.E.M. each wrote a hit song "You're Only Human (Second Wind)" and "Everybody Hurts" respectively which were specifically written to dissuade people from contemplating suicide.

cguro it depends on the people who hear it.. maybe they have a share of loneliness and hatred in their emotions that was ed by the song..

did KURT COBAIN hear this song before he scrambled his head off?!?  Cheesy
