a song which will make you go Suicide!

[AZKABAZ]

Bjork does a version of this. Her's freaking rocks! This one is.... so/so.

[IK47]

Do I pull or push the razorblade?  And where's a good spot?

This is just like how my avatar will make people levitate.

Wonder how many committed suicide to Beethoven ...

[coquette]

That's what I'm trying to figure out. :huh:

Maybe you need to listen to the original 1933 Hungarian version?

or in 1933 people in hungary are sad and stressed?

I'm talking rubbish :wacko:

Britney spears -I'm not a girl , makes me suicidal

[Gobelet]

I hate her voice, reminds me of Evanescence.. I hate Evanescence, too.

[the_snitch]

both of those mirrors dont work for me.

I quite want to hear this

[Swashbuckler]

I didn't hear anything special in it backwards in english. Someone should host it backwards, sounds pretty much the same. :)

I wanna find the original though...

Edit: I kept browsing the forums but the title bar stayed the same. :p

I noticed it when I went into BPN (screen)

I live in Hungary but I never heard from this song before.

Well, let's listen to it...

Downloading the original Rezső Seress version right now :devil:

I know this is a (relatively) old topic but see if y'all can listen to the song: Sarah McLachlan - Angel if you can.

If you liked this track, you're bound to like that one by her.

[Erich]

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

That's the Billie Holiday version where he tried to make it less depressing by adding the last verse.

Make sure when you listen to the song you don't have anything queued up after and it just goes silent. Like someone else said, makes you feel kinda weightless.

And ya, apparently hundreds upon hundreds of people have committed suicide after listening to it... The guy who wrote it Rezső Seress killed himself in 1968 by jumping to his death. Several people committed suicide to it well before that though.

I need a razorblade, brb.

[aishiteru]

dam.. could be placebo effect, but I'm feeling funny after listening to this song...

It's just how it's all set up and stuff.. the reverberations in the soundscape make it feel floaty and dreamy.. and almost... death inducing.

[Miran]

Doesn't dismiss the legend, but is interesting nonetheless:

Snopes on Gloomy Sunday

[CoolCatBad]

I can recall a similar claim about suicide statistics increasing when The Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset" was played on the radio.

[Bobster]

No song makes me suicidal.  I'd like to think I'm a little stronger willed than that!
