The “Gloomy Sunday” Curse
"Gloomy Sunday" was a song written by Rezso Seress, a Hungarian composer . The break-up with his girlfriend in 1933 left him such depression that he wrote this obsessive sorrowful melody. A few months after Gloomy Sunday's coming-ouut, a record label agreed to buy " the dead song" and published it in many big cites in the world. However, Seress turned out to be a very unlucky man. Weeks after the publishment of Gloomy Sunday, there was many scary strange stories around it. In Berlin, a man complained to his friends that he was really obsessed by its disconsolate melody and lyric. He was soon diagnosed with autism and then ended his life with a gun. Just about one or two days later, again in Berlin, the police found a girl hanging herself in her own room and surprisingly, there was a piece of the song’s lyrics on her bed . In the same year, hundreds of cases like that happened in Hungary, France and America, then spreaded to the whole world. In many nations, Glommy Sunday was even banned but the more it was banned, the more popular it became. In January 1968, Seress also committed suicide . It sounds disgusting and unbelievable, right? I must admit that the melody is very scaring but then nothing happned to me. I’m still alive and I’m standing here, talking with you. Researchers showed that music can have an extraodinary impact on humans' behavior. At that time, America and the Europe was in such a hard period that the economic crisis, unemployment and war increasing had a strong effect on people’s spirit, pushed them into a state of pessimism and depression in life. In conclusion, Gloomy Sunday used to be regarded as the last straw that broke the camel’s back, but finally, there’s no curse or no secret around this song. Now, we can freely enjoy it.
