Gloomy Sunday
February 28, 2007
Gloomy Sunday is known as the “Hungarian Suicide Song”,
mainly because it allegedly inspired a wave of suicides in the 1930s.
In fact, when it was translated and brought into the US, a third verse
was added (”Dreaming, i was only dreaming…”) to alleviate the song’s
depressing tone. Morbid history aside, it is such a beautiful song of
love lost and depression.
