  • woohoo, first comment!!!

  • This woman is amazing!!

  • Original author of this version was Emilie Autumn. She did not write the song. END OF STORY.

  • Emilie Autumn is not the original author. It's not so hard to find this out, just google it.

  • Cooldragon: How can you claim Autumn is the author? Do your research...check out how many people recorded this song before she was born!

  • @ThePoppy4u emilie is the one whome made this version of this song dude!

  • Comment removed

  • By far, the best version of this song.

  • OMG SHES COMING HERE!!!! BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO VANCOUVER!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm in love with her hair!

  • I like hahaha

  • Is there any live version of this song by her?

  • gosh her voice is so amazing. and her looks are so amazing :D

  • shitttt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • me gusta la versión original, ésta no suena mal pero no me acostumbro

  • As much as hope, hopelessness and despair seems to be human reality.

  • I HAVE TO GO TO HER CONCERT IN VANCOUVER!!!! I HAVE TOO!!!! I WILL!!!! OMG!!!!

  • I saw her on Halloween 2010! Yay for October concerts! And for my VIP ticket to see EA in Seattle this January! I can't wait to hear songs from FLAG! All my sentences end in exclamation points because I am just so effing excited and love this song so much!

  • @sesshypuppysbff  Congratulations! enjoy the vip ticket

  • Self indulgent version.

    Awful

  • Original: watch?v=_Qaa4GDBr0k&feature=pl­ayer_embedded#!

  • i love how the background sounds like evp's, you mix that with the chilling awesomeness of Emilie's voice and her badass violin and you've got sumthing haunting and epic!

  • Música linda *-*

  • Hungarians are amazing songwriters ;) I like them....Mert Én is magyar vagyok :)

  • Szeretem Emilie Autumn-ot! Szépen hangzik a hangján ez a dal is! :)

    = I Like Emilie Autumn, and this song is very beautiful with her voice! :)

  • I AM A VIRGIN

  • It's Sunday,and this is the first time I listen to this masterpiece!

  • this album cover is so hot!

  • I love the Billie Holiday version, but Emilie is just wonderful. The two best female singers both did an amazing job with such a beautiful song :)

  • I heard it before with diamanda galas and she boy can make you commit suicide XD

  • Oh my, best version of Gloomy Sunday.

  • She's beautiful in so many ways that it paralyzes my heart.

  • First time i listened to this song was on a Sunday xD

  • @FiNeTtYsTiCk1 Me too!

  • If she is playing violin on this, its a very nice piece of music. However her vocal's arent as moving as Bille Holidays version. Billie quite clearly felt the emotion in the melody and lyrics. EA seems to be singing it with no emotion and focuses more on the violin. Just my opinion. Not bashing EA....she is a talent.

  • Comment removed

  • This brings a smile to my face..

  • @stinkerbell76 She started playing the violin at 4, so she has most her life. That could be why she's so good haha

  • Original: Rezső Seress - Gloomy Sunday

  • I want to know why she has not any original video? can someone tell me?

  • @gloomyend It's because this wasn't origionally by her, it was by Hungarian composer Rezső Seress. She just did one of many covers of this song, and an amazing cover at that.

  • Taking into account "the art of suicide", EA is the most suited representative of victorian goth that should cover this sublime yet diabolic piece of art.

  • Ironically this song stopped me having suicidal thoughts, it's just so pretty and emotive

  • deberás amo a esta mujer

  • i love this song perfect cover of emilie autumn!♥

    

  • I like the bath-tub version better haha. It adds a haunting echo to her voice.

  • @TheSickHumanBeing If this song could have that bathtub-echo, it would be the perfect EA version of Gloomy Sunday. I just love the violin here.

  • This would be even beter if it was the bathtub-version combined with the violin part of this version.

  • Yes, yes, yes! "Death is no dream..." Without the `gay` "Dreaming i was only dreaming" , last verse. EA is true!!

  • Emilie's Voice is sooo

    amazing and powerful.

    my idol <3

  • THE BEST VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The violin was haunting...not so keen on the voice.Sarah Mclachlan is better and more softer...

  • It is even heard in The Simpsons (not this version)

  • wow im glad she properly recorded this :D although tea party in the bath tub version was epic pretty <33

  • wow her voice is so piercing, I'd give anything to be able to sing like that

  • I can feel this so f*cking insidde of my brain and heart and bones.

    It's not about i would commit suicide, but i guess, it was so many periods in my life, that are so well described by those lyrics, it would be a perfect soundtrack for many days..and months and maybe years..i just can't hold my tears, especially at this part" Little white flowers will never awaken you not where the black coach

    of sorrow has taken you.." and it's not like i blah-blah about it.

    cheers

  • I have fallen in love

  • Wow, es preciosisimo este tema, la letra llega al alma T_T

  • Emilie my dear, I unconditionally love everything you do. But I must say, your first cover of this was absolutely perfect, left no need for this version.

  • @MrsLazarou Well they are still entirely correlation. The song never made anyone kill themselves...

  • que hermoso! T_T...

  • Mors ultima ratio ..

  • :O where can i get this song?!

  • nice version,like it

  • this is so sad her voice is so emotional.....I love the violin though

  • this version is beautiful. i also like it better than others because it doesn't include the 'i was only dreaming' part, which seems to do justice to the song as a whole

  • Sarah McLachlans version is the best I think!

  • the original author is not her. the original author is Rezső Seress (1933).

  • This has to be one of the most covered songs ever. I like this version really much! Anna Singt and Edvin Marton's versions are amazing as well. Sarah Brightman was a dissapointment. She doesn't fit for that kind of songs.

    This is much better than the first version of this song E.A made. I love it!

  • god, shes amazing

  • Whoah <3

  • Three thumbs up!

  • That was chilling. Emilie's music is always so beautiful.

  • Meaning this version is new and studio-made.

    The version on Batteredrose is just an initial recording.

  • The version available on BatteredRose is a demo.

  • She looks like she would have a very light voice

  • Lol yah. I noticed for sure after I plucked my A string and I was like "whoa, wtf?"

    Being tuned flat is used in the Baroque style, as far as I know. Ms. Autumn plays a lot of baroque music.

  • Cooldragon, I think.

  • I'm in love with how haunting this version is.

  • I noticed they said Emilie was the original author, thats not actually true. This song is known as the hungarian suicide song. It was writen by a hungarian composer and has always had urban miths surrousnding it about how it makes you want to commit suiside. Which obviously isnt true since it's been covered by everyone from Billie Holiday to Bjork.

    Amazing non the less.

  • Yes, the original was by Rezso Seress, but EA just did a fantastic cover

  • @sataliatk: everyone knows how to use google & wikipedia.

  • @sataliatk I gather there is evidence that sugguest there is a particularly high suicide rate with this song!

  • Comparing to the originals or, for example, Diamanda Galas, it' s owfull.

  • @sataliatk And Christian Death. They covered it to.

  • This may seem like a weird question, but does anyone know what font it is used to spell her name within the photo?

  • If i'm not mistaken it's "Ring bearer" ;]

  • My fave version. As beautiful as Emilie herself.

  • This is beautiful...

  • I love her <3

  • I have no words..how can anyone be so talented and beautiful!

  • i just got the deluxe pack tonight and im luvin it

  • I need all her discography.

    shes incredible

  • Both her violin and her voice are beautiful. Really, it's quite pointless to compare them...

    Anywho, this is lovely as always, of course what else could be expected of Miss Emilie? ^^

  • Perfect *-*

  • Actually, her voice is okay. It's kind of theatrical, and would do great in theater. She's good in both the violin and vocals. :-bd

  • Oh, it's wonderful live. She's wonderful live, just the passion she has with everything she does is amazing.

    If you ever get a chance to see Emilie in concert, do it. It's very inexpensive, and amazing. It's much more of a cabaret, displaying many different styles of theatrics. It's simply wonderful!

  • I'm pretty sure Emilie Autumn can play both the violin and viola. From what I know, a violin can definitely not go this low... they can only go to around a G above middle C, and Violas can go all the way down to a middle C, which still being able to play the higher range, just not as easily.

  • I think she's playing like 20 instruments or something. At least that is what I've read.

  • Nah, it's a violin. It becomes expecially noticeable when notes are played on the E string. And none of the notes go lower than the G string. :) Pretty cool, though. Because the sound is kinda viola-ish in some places. But it's definitely a violin.

  • Wait a sec...upon closer examination, it's a violin that's tuned like a halfstep or a quarter tone down. More baroque like, I believe. Don't quote me on that, though. I'm not an expert, so I'm just going by a bit of this and that that I picked up from my teachers.

  • this may seem like a stupid question, but is there really a difference? Keep in mind i dont play either instrument. I'm just curious.

  • Between a violin and a viola? I'm not sure if that's what you were asking about (haha) but if so, then yeah. I play violin, and I CAN play viola adequately. The difference is that a viola is a bit bigger, and plays in a lower register. The strings for viola are A, D, G, C. Violin is E, A,D, G. :)

  • haha that is what i was asking, sorry for being unclear , and thanks for answering

  • this should be the soundtrack to a horror

  • ich liebe diese version

  • She's not the original author.

  • Rezso Seress is, I love his original version

  • instrumentals > vocals

  • You mean to say "Instrumentals > A Capella"

  • Her violin is better than her voice

  • True. But then again, it would be hard for her voice to be better than her violin, seeing as her violin is too amazing to be true anyway.

  • Speak of what you know, clown.

  • Thanks for proving my point, Clown.

  • I cannot believe that this has been on here since October and I have only just discovered she did another cover.

    Well, this is just astounding. There is so much emotion and the violin and noises in the background are eerie yet absolutely stunning. I was in love with it in the first five seconds.

  • Yup, like Homersxchild said, it was EA playing violin *rolls eyes*

    She's amazing at violin, even moreso live

  • stinkerbell, Emilie was playing the strings of course. =p

  • OMFG! I love it!

  • oh yeah, Hungarians everywhere XD

    MAGYARORSZÁÁÁÁG :D

  • Wow... this actually got an emotional feeling out of me. Powerful.

    Hauntingly beautiful.

  • this is one of the most beautiful things I ever heard.

    I have this album on mp3s already. I couldn't say I'm surprised that this song is already on youtube. x) i'm not exactly approve of this, but... hell, let's share beauty. you have my blessing. :)

  • The song is so good that it DESERVES to be shared... Think of all the muffins out there who've never heard it before, poor them ;)

  • good point. :) this song is a classic anyway.

  • I'm so obsessed with this song... :) This Opheliac edition is certianly gonna be the first thing I ask for on the merch table on Saturday :D

  • nice! love this

  • Eep, I never knew Miss Autumn had a version of this. :D

  • Lovely intro. Sounds more like viola than violin actually.

  • that shredolin sounds awesome!

  • @ Cooldragon23, it's "At what point does a Shakespeare say" not "when does a shakespeare say".

    I like this Gloomy Sunday version!

  • Ooops, sorry... I couldn't remember exactly what it was called

    *shame on me*

  • pleeeeeeease, you have to put here(sorry about my english) the new versions of mad girl, asleep and thank god i'm pretty!!!!

    amazing gloomy sunday....

  • Yeah because then everyone can listen on Youtube instead of buying the CD, nice. Im sure Emilie appreciates your support.

  • ha! she has my support....i've bought her re-edition album several months ago and when she realeses a NEW ALBUM i'll buy it, but i'm not going to buy the same once and once....because this is the 4 edition of opheliac and, of course, i'm not going to buy each edition she makes....and, we all know, there will be more editions....

  • FYI each new edition has been released by each new label EA is on. THE END records (who are releasing this version - the last version) are making sure that OPHELIAC gets sold in America at reasonable prices, instead of the expensive imports from Europe.

  • Its the 5th Edition ;)

    Opheliac Limited Edition EP unsure of exact year

    Opheliac 2006

    Deluxe Euro 2007

    Deluxe US 2008

    Deluxe Worldwide 2009

  • Well, maybe one standard copy of Opheliac it's enough for some people. I don't feel like to pay another time for a record that I mostly already have it.

  • Comment removed

  • EXACTLY! thank you

  • Then don't. But if you want the new tracks (and if you want the right to call yourself a fan) then PAY for them. You can buy the individual tracks of her albums from her official site.

  • That's how the song should have originally ended. Charming interpretation by our Mistress... thank you for posting it!

  • So becase it's not on youtube it has to be?

    The CD hasn't even been releaced yet besides at merch stands...

  • How Did You Get This? This Hasn't Even Been Released Yet.

  • I went to her concert yesterday (fucking awesome) and bought the CD, trust me, it's worth the wait...

  • It's being sold at her concerts ;p
