THE SUICIDE SONG/ Gloomy Sunday
Who else has listened to the Hungarian suicide song - GLOOMY SUNDAY
A song responsible for over for the death of 130people.
In Vienna, a teenage girl drowned herself while clutching a piece of sheet music. In Budapest, a shopkeeper killed himself and left a note that quoted from the lyrics of the same song. In London, a woman overdosed while listening to a record of the song over and over.
Creepy right?? yeah
ABOUT THE WRITER
née Rudi Spitzer a.k.a Seress.
The story goes that after his girlfriend left him, he was so depressed that he wrote the melody that became “Gloomy Sunday.”
years after, Seress himself did commit suicide in 1968, jumping from the window of a Budapest apartment building.
Even the girlfriend that left him, committed suicide too leaving a note behind with (Gloomy Sunday written on it)
The song was allegedly banned for 66years, also in the USA , U.K and many other places
I've played this song over and over again

"Gloomy Sunday" lyrics Billie Holiday Lyrics

Play the Billie Holiday Quiz

"Gloomy Sunday" 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, let them not weep Let them know That I'm glad to go 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

Dreaming I was only dreaming I wake and I find you Asleep in the deep of My heart Dear Darling I hope that my dream Never haunted you My heart is telling you How much I wanted you

OP, some of your information about the songs are unconfirmed rumours. The deaths were never proved to be connected to the song
