Anyway, I came across this topic "POST YOUR GHOST STORIES" on a forum *I know. I was bored!!* Yah! And I read this post about a suicide song "Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday". Heard of it?
NOTE: only for guitarist.
Yah. Try playing the chords of the song on a guitar in front of the computer at 12.00 am midnight and see what will happen to your monitor screen.
If you've done that, just tell me what happened okay? Hehe XD
Lyrics of the song :
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 coaches
Sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Wouldn’t 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 said I know
But let them not weep
Let them know that I’m glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death I’m caressin’ you
With the last breath of my soul
I’ll be blessin’ you
Gloomy sunday
Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is tellin’ you
How much I wanted you
Gloomy sunday
History of the song :
Gloomy Sunday - The Suicide Song
Gloomy Sunday - the notorious 'Hungarian Suicide Song' - was written in 1933. Its melody and original lyrics were the creation of Rezs?Seress, a self-taught pianist and composer born in Hungary in 1899.
The crushing hopelessness and bitter despair which characterised the two stanza penned by Seress were superseded by the more mournful, melancholic verses of Hungarian poet L醩zl?J醰or.
When the song came to public attention it quickly earned its reputation as a 'suicide song'. Reports from Hungary alleged individuals had taken their lives after listening to the haunting melody, or that the lyrics had been left with their last letters.
The lyricists Sam M. Lewis and Desmond Carter each penned an English translation of the song. It was Lewis's version, first recorded by Hal Kemp and his Orchestra, with Bob Allen on vocals (1936), that was to become the most widely covered.
The popularity of Gloomy Sunday increased greatly through its interpretation by Billie Holiday (1941). In an attempt to alleviate the pessimistic tone a third stanza was added to this version, giving the song a dreamy twist, yet still the suicide reputation remained. Gloomy Sunday was banned from the play lists of major radio broadcasters around the world. The B.B.C. deemed it too depressing for the airwaves.
Despite all such bans, Gloomy Sunday continued to be recorded and sold.
People continued to buy the recordings; some committed suicide.
Rezs?Seress jumped to his death from his flat in 1968.
Edit : over 100+ ppl have suicide themself after hearin it the 1st time..the same time as the 1st public release
NOTE: I didn't waste my time doing the research about this song. I just copy paste from the forum. Hehe ^_^
Yeah. Anyways, the lyrics was said to be cursed. Most people commited suicide after hearing it for the first time when they truely understand the hidden meaning of the lyrics. So, wanna give it a try? ;)
