"Gloomy Sunday reached America in 1936 and, thanks to a brilliant publicity campaign, became known as The Hungarian Suicide Song. Supposedly after hearing it, distraught lovers were hypnotized into heading straight out of the nearest open window, in much the same fashion as investors after October, 1929; both stories are largely urban myths."

  • Its amazing how the history behind this song has formed an almost mythological quality,like an old ghost story passed from mouth to ear over the years...the story lives on while those who gave it life have long since died.

    It is an exquisite tribute to the birth of pain that follows the death of love.
