"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
*from a couple articles regarding this song:*
"This "Song" was composed in real life in Budapest in 1935 and became
internationally known as the "hymn of suicides" because hundreds, above all
young people, bade farewell to this life with this melody on the turntable.
David C. Barnett, of member station WCPN, reports on a play about the composer
of the song "Gloomy Sunday." The Depression-era song was supposedly
responsible for the suicide of hundreds of Hungarians.
...funny how this song keeps popping up! :D one of the most passionate
songs written. ever.
