죽음이 다가오기전에

먼저 찾차 들어가면 죄일까 ..

[5jerry1]

I must have been living under a rock for all these years. I only recently discovered Diamanda Galas; I'm VERY impressed!

[ErabusVonGott]

i so fucking live this song...

even the fact i am pretty depressed dont give me any reason to kill myself, thats just a myth.

[JanJanJaJa]

น่ากลัววมากหลอนอะ

[MrPragalv]

diamanda galas is a witch.

[ranranran27]

omg

[Purplecatsoup30]

This woman is a nightmare. She should:

A.) put a bag over her head

B.) tear out her vocal chords.

[gothicgrowler]

@Purplecatsoup30 That's why she's awesome.

[icezaza00012]

เพราะดีครับเสียงโคตรมีพลังเลย

[AKMALJOHNSMITH]

shit man

[Hijetala]

i had an hard on while listening to this song.

[utubeleplague]

@AxeWieldingPsycho TOP ME INSTEAD!

[bittemeinrammstein]

Masterpiece!! Original and this one!

[SnareRushJunkie]

@acamaraman

Well... since Rarass didn't write or record this, I'm guessing he can't tell you whether or not you can use it. And since it's been copyrighted and released by an actual record label, I'm guessing there might be copyright issues. Do you really not understand how Youtube works?

That being said, unless your short film gets crazy promotion and is seen by everyone, I don't think you have to worry about copyright infringement.

[LupusTerre]

this song is simply EPIC!!!!!

its a time ago when a song gave me SUCH goosebumps.

every time i hear this song.... i smelt away....

great song!!! i LOVE this song!

[acamaraman]

Rarass, Can I use this song for a short film? Is there any copy right issues for that? Pls advice...

[Sticazzodinomiutenti]

Could I have the lyrics? I can't find them on Internet.

@navojoARISTOCRAT LOL! That was a good one. Seriously though. You score a ten for that comment.

[csigatakony]

[starsandwind123]

Oh~ Such a powerful voice.

[Everlastingization]

nice song :)

[linhxxx]

i addicted to it :(

[gothicgrowler]

i love it

[anitacuni]

A esperar mi muerte si no te tengo a ti

[pontello3]

scary woman!

[witchsaint]

this song is so painfully full of grief that I have trouble listening to it.. makes me just wanna cry and lament so hard.. it's a true suicide song. ='[ it's somehow more painful than the other ones I've heard.. I don't even know how.

[TrivialResplendance]

This is the only way I'll leave it all behind....

[GlenysNgaire]

Whoah. Goose bumps!

[88Anit]

Incredible voice and feeling

[sanyikaxyz]

There is no better, than the original i think. But this is so ehm.... emotional.

[Stenkth]

This is art

[thenontasan]

ร้องเป็นตะย่านแม่งแท้วะอิหนิ

[Cabenfa]

It brings a tear to my eye everytime I listen to it...

[Platsick]

I love how powerful she sings this song. She makes the song sound like it should sound.

[skyscape]

there is a situation here in this song :)))

[geekhater360]

me: "Mommy, why is this women so fucking creepy?" Mom: "Watch your language sweetheart"

[XXnotXavailableXX]

Don't you just love it when the ears of idiots bleed?

[invisiblue]

my ears are bleeding. wtf this is awful.

[axelwarriorvs]

@invisiblue Lemme guess.

Justin bieber fan?

This is a song with a meaning and her voice is EXTREMELY powerful, much better than most r&b or pop singers.

[invisiblue]

@axelwarriorvs Justin Beiber fan? No, try Elvis Costello's version of Gloomy Sunday

Try not to lump everyone who disagrees with your song choices in the Beiber catergory. I've listened to nearly every version of Gloomy Sunday I cound find, Elvis Costello's version is best.

[axelwarriorvs]

@invisiblue Before you tell me not to judge people, maybe you should try to stop thinking that you're always right.

Just becasue you don't like a song (Or anything else actually), it doesn't mean that the song is awful. It jsut means that you don't have the same taste.

And because YOU think Costello's version is the best, it doesn't mean that everyone agrees with you.

[Markofsatan]

@invisiblue You are awful this is truly sublime.

[StripTheSoul83]

@ LaSerpentaVerde: Uhm, if I remember right, her brother whom she loved, was a homosexual and died of AIDS and a lot of her work was influenced by this, so I doubt she's homophobic...however, she's pretty cynical and likes to provoke, and maybe sometimes the irony is not being understood.

[schizo78]

You are absolutely bonkers, K***iop***o*****! google yourself!

[jcarlsonf]

@kalliopeamorphous Again ..who's stalking who Michelle? I don't see Diamanda posting negative comments on your videos.

[SATAN1KO]

What genre would this be?

[madsketcher]

@SATAN1KO doesn't have one; genres are illusions

[m4rn4]

@SATAN1KO avant-garde i guess

[heqianqian]

I like it

[heqianqian]

我喜欢

[kar98ksniper]

[kar98ksniper]

@its669341 who gives a shit about you ?.u r not even a musician.I AM.....so chill out and learn

[its669341]

@kar98ksniper okay, you are a musician, but that doesnt mean that you are a good one, or that you know somthing about music.

[kar98ksniper]

@its669341 tell that to my subscribers (over 1700) or my students(over 200) or the music university i m working,as a guitar instructor.you can see that if u watch my videos with different styles of guitar shredding.And yeap.....i m 2 damn good.(royal acadamy of London,GI,)so long dude.

[Platsick]

@kar98ksniper You do know that she didn't write this, right?

[kar98ksniper]

@Platsick its a Hungarian Sucide Song.she should sucide

[Platsick]

@kar98ksniper and you should watch your grammar.

[kar98ksniper]

@Platsick nice...but still its crap

[Platsick]

@kar98ksniper and so is your grammar.

[kar98ksniper]

@Platsick GO FUCK URSELF FAGGOT.....how is my grammar now?like it bitch?u r just a waste of my precious time.so,drop dead piece of shit

[Platsick]

@kar98ksniper yourself* you* are* and you're forgetting a few spaces. You are the one wasting your time on me out of free will, nobody tells you that you have to reply to my comments. Honestly, ~y u mad tho~?

[kar98ksniper]

@Platsick i told you to shut the fuck up.do it

[Platsick]

@kar98ksniper Oh sure, I would totally shut up because you tell me to. What makes you think that some random person on the internet would do what you say?

[jaderuby]

Beautiful <3

[LouisaMaryBlanton]

Was für eine Stimme.... einfach Wahnsinn...ich höre dieses Lied schon die ganze Zeit rauf und runter. Einfach nur Klasse...

Ihre Stimme macht die Stimmung und die Message dieses Liedes erst perfekt...

[axelwarriorvs]

Her voice is hella powerful O__O

[MoNyOh]

.3. I'm scared the hell out...

[slutypet]

she is weird lol

[vegforlife555]

I need this woman to babysit my small children on Halloween. Sorry kids!

[JohnnyLovely2]

the singing is what makes this version bad

[Fusion2222]

@JohnnyLovely2 singing is what i love on this version the most

[malaybabe]

hauntingly beautiful .... what a voice!

[hadezboy]

Listening and starring at the picture makes the mood even worse... try it

[mazima666]

@hadezboy Thats hard man!!=P But her singing is magical!

[briancatmale]

Diamanda Galas transforms any song she performs into a unique vocal experience.. Her covers are amazing and haunting creation of amazing vocal skills that leave me shivering in hope and desperation ...

[ioka2008]

....tears.....

[lamentate07]

this is incredible, but i just wish Galas would quit releasing covers records already. 'Malediction and Prayer' was absolutely amazing, but did we really need a double covers album in 2004 and one just recently with Guilty Guilty Guilty? apparently her new record is covers too.

i just wish she would get back to writing original pieces again.

[neongorack]

the worst version i have evr heard simpli terrible and scary

[gothtart13]

@neongorack it's supposed to be scary. scary and beautiful at the same time. that is what goth music/ the subculture is all about, finding beauty in the dark and grotesque.

[NZNSBM]

@neongorack

id like to hear your perfect cover of this song.

if you cant see whats in this your a very hurt, ugly person.

[laonikos6]

@neongorack well you probably have not hear yourself singing it...

[AVillainousVoice]

Her voice is very creepy. But she can sing in tune, and her voice isn't irritating - like Diana Vickers, for example. I don't mean to offend anyone who likes Diana Vickers, by the way.

[loneliest1]

omg the lyrics ot this song are amazing *tear**

[thessaly3]

a mongolian cluster fuck does that to you

[Japipapi]

@ComaWB123 Well i learned this by ear and its like-

Em-C-Em-C-C(again, you should lower one octave)-Em-C-Bm

Thats the basic progression she uses i think, and then there's the one time she goes all awesome and you take the Em on your left hand with your pinky on the low E, middle finger on the G, index finger on the B and thumb on the high E. Instead of going to C, you can lower the two G's a half note each time while keeping the other 2 fingers in place, play the same melody with right hand. GL

[sparaffucile]

This is absolutely incredible! She is incredible! It makes you think about the human voice, about ART and about life. The Wonderful Diamanda Galas

[MrSh1nob1]

@sparaffucile uve said to much for a feeling or two..

[billybear50]

not a line from the Billie Holliday version...is this in fact the same song?????

[DanmEveryNameIsTaken]

@billybear50 This is the original version. Billie Holiday's is a remake.

[pethan1983]

@DanmEveryNameIsTaken This is not original version, original sog has been writed by hungarian composer Rezső Seress in 1933. Though recorded and performed by many singers, "Gloomy Sunday" is closely associated with Billie Holiday, who scored a hit version of the song in 1941.

[DanmEveryNameIsTaken]

@pethan1983 Yeah my bad, I looked it up awhile ago. Your bibliography wasn't necessary.

[splendora]

the picture is really too kitsch, people who'll see it will say "she's just like a teenage goth complaining about life, it's ridiculous". diamanda don't deserve this

[xxGothicxxKittyxx]

At first I didn't like this, but i love it now! She is amazing!

[ajerdna333]

She's scary...

[deussolinvictus]

This is miserably beautiful. Seriously.

[hualdavideos]

come on... i like some pop music but god i LOVE diamanda galas... liking/loving music isnt one way...

[MegaScarbo]

Ցավդ տանեմ Դիամանդա ջան .....endless love from Armenia...

[littletooironic]

i like her voice. i can see why any fan of 'pop music' wouldn't though

[dossmanos8]

Shit-  This song would cause someone to feel bad. Bar all the windows- don't throw yourself out of them. Pure gloom. Spellbinding.

[shadowdusk]

i pity the dudes (or ladies) who ever woke up with her. how do you fuck something like this?

[lazord1991]

@shadowdusk hahahaha, why do you hate her?

[evesevesstap]

@shadowdusk Just check out her other photos. She's very beautiful and attractive, I'd even say magnetic woman. I'd love to look like her when I'm 55 :O

[colepitt1]

Christ. I envy deaf people when I hear shit like this.

[ska2808]

Not for Diamanda's version specifically, but as I've already explained, the original version essentially has the same chord progression and Diamanda's version is actually even simpler. So if you get the original sheet music and learn it, you can figure out Diamanda's version just by common sense.

[ska2808]

Diamanda's version is considerably simpler (just chords) but I did it by ear. The original music will give you a good starting place though.

[paunpaunpaunpaunpaun]

speechless... amazing song...

[YUTANOSFERATUS]

waaaaao

[mohzart]

I like this version of lyrics better than the other one. Kudos Galas!

[ska2808]

If you do a Google Image search for Gloomy Sunday sheet music you'll find an image of the original Hungarian sheet music.

[666Desolate999]

Last time then i will go to sleep

[SharkSurf]

me too

[bingbong35]

"GLOOMY SUNDAY" is one of her signature songs that she performs. It appears on many of her albums/cd''s including "THE SINGER-DIAMANDA GALAS,"(1992) "MALEDICTION AND PRAYER," (1998) and I think there's a version on "LA SERPENTA CANTA" from 2003.

[moevisual]

the best version!! and its no depresing,

i love this song a lot!!

one of my fovorites! †

[SaavaRain]

wow

[WednesdayMayhem]

Everything about this version is perfect. She's managed to capture the essence and the mood of the song perfectly.

[gyqz]

@WednesdayMayhem You are so right, but what makes it really perfect is that she managed to do all those things you mentioned AND make it totally into Diamanda-style!! She's awesome!!!

[warezuser]

απιστευτω κομματι.

[AlkLyd]

beautiful song..

[KaNyExEaSt]

The most amazing female voice I've ever heard in my life. Bravo.

[prince13gothika]

my god so amazing, her voice is so haunting that it's intoxicating!

[spyplusAKIRA]

adams family? xD

[DraconusThorn]

Incredible. That voice will be remembered.

[QueenKnightofHearts]

It's not my favorite verison (different verison), but this is a well done verison. I not fond of her voice.

[TheMonaX3]

Its... amazing!

[mentoscsaj]

borzalmas verzió..:S

[Stefanakos84]

Suitable for a good morning... :-P

[JerrysKidz666]

Its Vampira !

[ChristineHate]

Sie transportiert mit ihrer Stimme all das, was dieses Lied ausmacht.

Für mich ein brilliantes Meisterwerk,

welches nur durch ihre Stimme glänzt

und mich auch nur mit ihrer Stimme tief berührt....

und das auf eine ganz besondere Art und Weise.

[Dunkelson]

She's a Soprano, drama is part of music, you ignorant.

[Dunkelson]

Let me tell you that she doesn't sound like a soprano in this song because it's not an aria.

Trust me

[IoEstasCedonta]

I really don't think she's a soprano...

[remindbender]

well she is an alto soprano then

[Volven92]

mam nadzieję, że zagrają mi to na pogrzebie.....

( I hope to hear it at my funeral... )

[MojsterSplinter]

Gee, dude, I hope I won't hear a single thing at MY funeral... I'd be pretty upset otherwise.

[Enzer36]

zomg Deep Voice. Scary~ TT-ness. Just play this song at a wedding i'm sure everyone will be HAPPY :D

[ghazten]

I love her. My muse

[ChristineHate]

WOW ! *****

[irreligioso]

I love diamanda galas and her masterpieces

[nikolaspearce]

lol

[MartyredxMaiden]

dark ,3

[EmilieMurmurs]

Diamanda is incredible...I usually like weird and creepy...and she is just something else..but what a talent!!!...Her voice fits the song perfectly and cxaptivates the emotion wonderfully...it hovers far above most, if not...all of the cover versions.

[TheRagman666]

a once in a life time talent how lucky we are to have her in ours

[sempreviva21]

In EA's "the art of suicide" says:

"Life is not like Gloomy Sunday,with a second ending when the people are disturbed..

Well they should be disturbed,because there's a story that ought to be heard.."

Billie Holiday's version is that second ending.

[jakoblangley]

oh wow so thats what emilie A. says in that song, I always wondered why that phrase :) thanks.

[ItachiUchiha7894]

I. LOVE. EMILIE AUTUMN!!!!!!!!!!! And your'e right she does says

[sempreviva21]

well,these actually are the original lyrics..

the lyrics of billie holiday's version came next and have a third verse that is not in the original hungarian song which imply that the whole "lover death" is in fact just a dream..they make the song less tragic.

[weak6666]

MY GODDDDDDDDD...NO WORDS LEFT...

[elizabuzz]

this song make me feel like i'm dead and i'm crying for my lost love:|...i feel so good listen it.:)

[Johnny123456789x]

Does anyone have the piano sheets for this song? D: I really want to learn it.
