The Hungarian Suicide Song

Gloomy Sunday is a song written in 1933 by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezső Seress and due to stories about its inspiring hundreds of suicides it was dubbed the Hungarian Suicide Song.

The composer wrote the song for a former girlfriend, who committed suicide shortly after the songs release. Legends have been told about Gloomy Sunday over the years and how it was allegedly connected with various numbers of suicides. Many American and European radio services found it too depressing for broadcast, and banned the song.


It is autumn and the leaves are falling
All love has died on earth
The wind is weeping with sorrowful tears
My heart will never hope for a new spring again
My tears and my sorrows are all in vain
People are heartless, greedy and wicked...
Love has died!
The world has come to its end, hope has ceased to have a meaning
Cities are being wiped out, shrapnel is making music
Meadows are coloured red with human blood
There are dead people on the streets everywhere
I will say another quiet prayer:
People are sinners, Lord, they make mistakes...
The world has ended!

When We Die

I'm goin to bestow this song to someone whom I will love until my dying day..hehehe

-When We Die-

Bowling for Soup


Well, I know that it's early
And it's too hard to think
And the broken empty bottles
Are reminder in the sink
But I thought that I should tell you
If it's not to late to say
I could put back all the pieces,
They just might not fit the same

Nothing's worth losing
Especially the chance to make it right
And I know that we're gonna be fine
And the tattooed mistakes
Are gonna fade over time
As long as we live, time passes by
And we won't get it back when we die

Well, I know it's been years now,
And I don't look the same
And the hopes and dreams you had for me
You thought went down the drain.
And the room feels so emptywhere my pictures used to be
And I can't say that I blame you,But you can't blame me

Cuz nothing's worth losing
Especially the chance to make it right

And I know that we're gonna be fine
And the tattooed mistakes are gonna fade over time
As long as we live, time passes by
And we won't get it back when we die
Come over
Come over

Cause I gotta know,
If I am doing this all on my own
Come over
Come over

How can I show you if you're not here
And I know that we're gonna be fine
And the tattooed mistakes
Are gonna fade over time
As long as we live, time passes by
And we won't get it back when we die

And I know that we're gonna be fine
And the tattooed mistakes are gonna fade over time
As long as we live, time passes by
And we won't get it back when we die
Come over
Come over
