"gloomy sunday"


"The"
legend about "Gloomy Sunday" is a sort of meta-legend that encompasses the following claims:

1. The song "Gloomy Sunday" was connected to many suicides in Hungary

2. The song "Gloomy Sunday" was banned in Hungary because of its connection to many suicides.

3. The song "Gloomy Sunday" was banned in America because of its connection to many suicides.

4. The composer wrote the song for a former girlfriend, who committed suicide shortly after the song's release.

5. The composer himself committed suicide.

Read all about it. And even more here. And wait for the brilliance of Tsukimono to hit you once again. There is a new song by Tsukimono drifting around. It is called "Gloomy Sunday" and it has been playing a lot this past week. Still alive though.
