Di sebalik lagu Gloomy Sunday...

Anda pernah dengar lagu Gloomy Sunday? Mesti ramai yang tak pernah. Aku cadangkan korang dengar dulu lagu ni. Sebab sebentar lagi aku akan bongkarkan rahsia di sebalik lagu ni. Heeeee. 




Amacam? Seram tak? Aku paling suke part dia tarik tu. pergh! Terangkat bulu kening woo. Well3. Actually, lagu ni dicipta oleh seorang komposer dari Hungary, Rezső Seress. Lagu ini dipercayai telah menyebabkan ramai orang bunuh diri disebabkan irama serta liriknya yang begitu unik dan menusuk sanubari. Aku pun tak tau sejauh mane kehebatan tusukan itu, so baik korang tengok sendiri liriknya.




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! 



Sunday is gloomy 
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 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 
Gloomy Sunday 



Lagu ini juga dipercayai telah menyebabkan komposernya dan isteri turut membunuh diri. Mungkin mereka ini kerasukan ya. Aku juga enggak tau. Tapi ini kisah benar ye. Takde mase aku nak menipu kome. 


Menurut kajian....


The original lyrics depicted a war-stricken Hungary and a silent prayer to God. Jávor's lyrics are a mourning to a lost lover and a pledge to commit suicide to meet said lover again in the afterlife.


Telah banyak kes-kes kematian yang disebabkan oleh lagu ni. Memang puncanya daripada lagu ni. 


  • In February of 1936, Budapest Police were investigating the suicide of a local shoemaker, Joseph Keller. The investigation showed that Keller had left a suicide note in which he quoted the lyrics of a recent popular song. The song was "Gloomy Sunday".

  • Among those included are two people who shot themselves while listening to a gypsy band playing the tune. Several others drowned themselves in the Danube while clutching the sheet music of "Gloomy Sunday". One gentleman reportedly walked out of a nightclub and blew his brains out after having requested the band to play "The Suicide Song".


  • In New York, a pretty typist gassed herself leaving a request that "Gloomy Sunday" should be played at her funeral.

  • Many claim that broken romances are the true causes of these suicides. However, this is debatable. For instance, one man jumped to his death from a seventh story window followed by the wailing strains of "Gloomy Sunday". He was over 80 years old! In contrast to this, a 14 year old girl drowned herself while clutching a copy of "The Suicide Song".

Dan banyak lagi kes2 kematian berpunca daripada lagu ni. Aku pun tak paham kenape depa bunuh diri. Sebab lagu tu best sgt ke aku pun tak tau. Masalahnye, aku dah dengar nak dekat 8 juta kali, tapi aku masih teguh berdiri hingga kini. HAHA. Nak tau lagi sejarahnya, klik sini.




p/s : This song extremely suits for the vampires. :D
