The Suicide Song

"Gloomy Sunday " (from Hungarian "Szomorú Vasárnap") is a song written by the Hungarian self-taught pianist and composer Rezső Seress in 1933. According to urban legend, it inspired hundreds of suicides. When the song was first marketed in America, it became known as the " Hungarian suicide song". There is no systematic substantiation for such claims, as it is not documented where any such allegations appear in press coverage or other publications of the time. Seress also committed suicide at the age of 69

I liked the song. Its quite sad, but never felt like killing myself. You can download the song from the link below.....at your own risk!!
