Look at the history of the song.

More than fifty years ago, something happened in the history of music. A famous "international music mystery": incidents of people committing suicide just to listen to a piece of music have occurred one after another.

One day at that time, in a bar in Belgium, people were sipping wine and listening to music. When the band had just finished playing French composer Roulans. While playing the orchestral piece "Black Sunday" composed by Charles, I heard a hysterical shouting: "I really can't stand it!" I saw a Hungarian young man tilted his neck and drank up the glass of wine, took out He pulled the trigger of the pistol towards his temple and fell into a pool of blood with a bang. A female police officer investigated the case, but despite all their efforts, they could not find out why the young man committed suicide. Finally, she took a chance and bought a record of "Black Sunday" that the band played that day, thinking that maybe she could find some clues to solve the case. She played the record again and committed suicide. People found her last words for the police chief on her desk: "Your Excellency, the case I accepted does not need to be investigated further. The murderer is the music "Black Sunday". I was listening to this song while listening to it. Even when I was playing the song, I couldn't stand the excitement of its sad melody, so I had to refuse this life." Coincidentally. When a cheerful and lively female typist in New York City was chatting with others, she heard how sad "Black Sunday" was, so she curiously borrowed a record of this music to go home and listen to. She didn't go to work the next day and was found dead by suicide in her room with the "Black Sunday" record playing on the record player. She said in her suicide note: "I can't stand its melody, and this piece is my funeral piece." In Washington, a newly famous pianist was invited to a salon party and played for the guests. A guest during the dinner Suddenly, she received a long-distance call that her mother had died in a car accident. Since that day happened to be Sunday, she asked the pianist to play "Black Sunday" for her mother to express her condolences. The pianist played the piece reluctantly, and just finished playing. Due to excessive sadness, he suffered a heart attack and fell down on the piano and never got up.

Black Sunday was called "The Devil's Invitation" at the time. At least 100 people listened to it. He committed suicide because of it and was banned for 13 years. Even psychoanalysts and psychologists can't give a satisfactory explanation for the composer's motivation for composing the music. Do you dare to listen? ^^

After the relationship between Hungarian pianist Rezso Seress and his girlfriend broke up, he wrote a song full of sadness in 1933 called "Gloomy Sunday" (Szomorú vasárnap). The English translation of this song is "Gloomy Sunday". At first, the author encountered some trouble when trying to publish the song. One publisher once said: "(Rejection of publication) was not because of its melancholy tune, but because of the soulfulness of the song. of despair, which I thought would do no good to anyone listening. " (It is not that the song is sad, there is a sort of terrible compelling despair about it. I don't think it would do anyone any good to hear a song like that.) But after several twists and turns, "Melancholy Sunday" It was finally released in Budapest and within two or three years it became a best-selling song.

What no one expected was that after this song spread into the world, it would cause many tragic and bizarre accidents (local newspapers have made extensive reports on related events), just like what the ancient myth describes: Pandora's box once Open it, and countless demons and disasters will be released into the world. However, the last thing to come out of Pandora's box is "hope", which allows this imperfect world to continue; and "Melancholy Sunday" brings people a world of despair. Voice.

The song describes an unfortunate man who is unable to bring his loved one back to his side. On a melancholy Sunday, he frequently has the desperate idea of ??committing suicide, and this idea is accompanied by his The extreme longing for your lover is hard to get rid of.

"Gloomy Sunday" spread to the United States around 1936. Its first English version was recorded by jazz artist Paul Robeson in 1940. On August 7, 1941, black female singer Billie Holiday reinterpreted the song in her own unique and superb way, making it a household hit in the United States.

Over the years, some incredible reports and rumors have given "Gloomy Sunday" an air of extreme mystery. According to MacDonald's article in the first issue of "Cincinatti Journal of Ceremonial Magick", in February 1936, the Budapest police investigated the suicide of local shoemaker Joseph Keller. They discovered that Keller had left a suicide note in which he transcribed the lyrics to the song, which was just becoming popular at the time. The inclusion of a lyric in a suicide note may not be a bizarre thing in itself, but what is bizarre is that in later years the song was believed to be directly responsible for the deaths of more than 100 people (like "Hundreds of Hungarians Kill Themselves under The Influence of A Song” was an almost exaggerated phrase that once appeared in the headlines of the New York Times). Many suicides are always connected with this song in one way or another before they die. In Hungary, two people committed suicide while listening to Gypsies playing the song. In addition, quite a few people went to the Danube River to commit suicide, always holding the sheet music of "Melancholy Sunday" in their hands, including a 14-year-old girl. An old man over 80 hummed this tune and jumped to his death from the seventh floor. According to reports, a gentleman walking out of a nightclub shot himself in the head with a bullet, just after he had asked the band to play "Blue Sunday" for him. There is also a widely circulated report involving the composer Rezso Seress himself. As the song began to become a hit, Seress reportedly contacted his ex-girlfriend and floated the idea of ??a reunion. Unexpectedly, the girl committed suicide by taking poison the next day. There were two words written on a piece of paper next to her: "Gloomy Sunday". Convinced that this "suicide song" had a disastrous effect on people, the police in Budapest thought it best to ban it.

In addition to Hungary, there are also reports in other European countries and the United States that "Gloomy Sunday" triggered suicide behavior. A young store clerk in Berlin hanged himself. A copy of the score of this song fell at his feet. In Rome, when a newsboy heard a beggar singing the tune of "Melancholy Sunday" on the street, he stopped his bicycle and approached the beggar, gave him all the money he had, and then committed suicide by jumping into the river from a nearby bridge. . In New York, a beautiful female typist committed suicide by gas poisoning and left a suicide note requesting that "Blue Sunday" be played at her funeral. Due to these horrific suicides, the song was banned from BBC Radio in the UK, and US broadcast networks soon followed suit; Washington Senator Stevan Carl called for "Blue Sunday" to be banned Song.

In France, there was even a radio station that specially invited spiritualists to discuss the impact of this song on its program, but the broadcast of these programs did not seem to have any effect on the increasing number of suicides at that time. Over time, when public panic over a series of suicides subsided, the BBC agreed to re-play "Gloomy Sunday", but only as an instrumental version of the song. This version was quickly recorded. One day, a police officer in London heard this instrumental music coming from a nearby apartment. The music was repeated over and over again endlessly, and he felt that the matter was strange and worthy of investigation. Upon entering the apartment, he found a jukebox playing the tune on repeat, and lying next to the jukebox was a woman who had overdosed on barbiturates, a sedative.

Rezso Seress, the author of this song, ultimately failed to escape the curse of doom. On a cold day in the winter of 1968, when he was nearly seventy years old, he committed suicide by jumping off a building. According to reports, Seress was a short, witty Jewish man, a poor piano player, and had always regretted that he had not received a good musical education. His life, except for a period of imprisonment in a concentration camp during World War II, was mainly spent in the Kispipa Hotel in Budapest ("Kispipa" literally translated as "Little Pipe" in English), where he played the piano for guests. Due to his short stature, his entire body was obscured by a brown piano when he played. Whenever a new guest, especially a familiar friend, came in, he would raise his left hand (with an eye-catching gold ring on his stubby ring finger), poke his head out, and welcome with a funny smile. This greeting was a gimmick on his part to disguise the fact that he could only play with his right hand. It is said that just to show off, he often got some music scores and put them on the piano stand, and put his nose in front of the piano stand, pretending to play according to the music, but in fact he was not proficient in reading music. . After "Melancholy Sunday" became famous, many music, art and social celebrities came to visit him (or made pilgrimages to the hotel after his death), which made his visitor record look like a "twentieth century" book.

George Cukor, blah blah blah. Whenever Seress was told that someone big in the music industry was coming to see him, he would become so nervous that he would spend days hiding in the end of the hotel kitchen, furiously cutting on a large cutting board with piano keys painted on it. Practice his tunes. Seress actually lived a double life in a strange way. He plays the piano for a living, but he's terrible at it. He looked wretched, but his wife, Helen, was one of the most beautiful beauties in Budapest. Helen was not only almost two heads taller than Seress, but she was also a Christian (Christians in Europe rarely intermarried with Jews at that time).

In order to marry Seress,

She actually left her ex-husband, a handsome and wealthy military officer! Seress became famous all over the world for writing "Melancholy Sunday", but he never left Budapest in his life (except for being driven to a concentration camp). Seress was poor throughout his life, but after his death he accumulated millions of dollars in royalties paid to him that he could not withdraw during his lifetime at the Irving Trust Bank in New York. Perharps Otto Klemperer, who conducted a series of concerts and operas in Budapest from 1947 to 1950, once visited the Kispipa Hotel and left the following sentence in the guest book of the Seress: "Er ist kein Musiker - er ist nur em Genie " (He is no musician - he is just a genius), meaning

Seress does not qualify as a musician, he is just a genius. As for the reason for Seress's suicide, one theory is that he felt that he could no longer compose a good song like "Melancholy Sunday", so he chose death in long-term despair.

Author of Black Sunday/A Fragrance

It is said that there is a song that makes people want to commit suicide after listening to it---gloomy sunday.

It was born in 1932 France in 1945. It is a pity that it was destroyed in 1945. Because in the 13 years of the existence of this song, people who listened to it committed suicide. There were hundreds of them. The suicide notes left by the suicides said that they committed suicide because they could not bear the pain. It is an extremely sad melody. There are countless guitar, piano and other artists who have played the song and stopped playing it. The author deeply repented before his death. He himself did not expect that this song would kill so many people. So he and Europe Countries have joined forces to destroy this piece.

It is a piece of music composed by the Hungarian composer Rulans Charles at the beginning of the last century. "Black Sunday" is a truly "peerless" work in the history of music. , not because of its artistic aspects, but because most people who listened to this music committed suicide.

The first person recorded to have committed suicide was a British officer who was at home. Resting quietly alone, he accidentally started listening to the turntable delivered by the postman. The first piece of music was "Black Sunday" by Lawrence Charles. After listening to this piece of music, his soul was deeply affected. Excited, I can no longer calm down. After a while, he took out the pistol at home and ended his life. When the gunshot rang out, the song "Black Sunday" was also playing. This was the only clue to his death. After thorough investigation and speculation, the police came to a conclusion: He did commit suicide, but this "Black Sunday" was an indirect killer! And warned people not to listen to this music ------- because the police almost committed suicide when listening to this music! Then this incident caused a sensation throughout Europe. People felt incredible, frightened and curious. Many people who thought they had good psychological quality were curious to collect it everywhere and experience it for themselves, and went on adventures.

One of the middle-aged American men shot himself after listening to the song "Black Sunday" several times. In his last words, he wrote: "Please use this song as the song for my funeral." funeral music". Then news of similar suicides came one after another, from Europe to America to Asia, and the whole world was panicked.

When a very famous European celebrity attended a music concert, he insisted on a musician present to play the song "Black Sunday" on the piano. The pianist began to refuse. Agreed, but had no choice but to play due to pressure and demands from the curious audience. After the performance, the pianist vowed to never touch the piano again! The celebrity who made the request has since then become anonymous and disappeared.

Since then, all countries in the world have begun to destroy all information about this piece of music.

The author of "Black Sunday" was also very guilty when he died.

He said that he did not expect that this piece of music would cause such a big disaster to mankind. This was not his original intention.

A famous "international music mystery" once occurred in the history of music: people listened to Incidents of suicides caused by playing music occurred one after another.

At that time, one day, in a bar in Belgium, people were sipping wine and listening to music. When the band had just finished playing the orchestral piece "Black Sunday" composed by French composer Roulans Charles, they heard a hysterical shouting: "I really can't stand it!" Only a Hungarian young man was seen. He drank up the wine in the glass with a tilt of his neck, took out a pistol and pulled the trigger towards his temple, then fell into a pool of blood with a "bang".

A female police officer investigated the case, but despite all her efforts, she could not find out why the young man committed suicide. Finally, she took a chance and bought a record of "Black Sunday" that the band played that day, thinking that maybe she could find some clues to solve the case. She played the record again and committed suicide. People found her last words for the police chief on her desk: "Your Excellency, the case I accepted does not need to be investigated anymore. The murderer is the music "Black Sunday". I can't stand it when I listen to this music." The excitement of its sad melody has no choice but to be rejected from this world."

No coincidence. When a cheerful and lively female typist in New York City was chatting with others, she heard how sad "Black Sunday" was, so she curiously borrowed a record of this music to listen to at home. She didn't go to work the next day and was found dead by suicide in her room with the "Black Sunday" record playing on the record player. She said in her suicide note: "I can't stand its melody. This piece is my funeral piece."

In Washington, a newly famous piano player was invited to attend a salon party and sang for her. Guest playing. During the dinner, a guest suddenly received a long-distance call that her mother had died in a car accident. Since that day happened to be Sunday, she asked the pianist to play "Black Sunday" for her mother to express her condolences. The pianist played the piece reluctantly. As soon as he finished playing, he suffered a heart attack due to excessive sadness and fell down on the piano and never got up again.

In Milan, Italy, a musician was confused after hearing these anecdotes. He did not believe that "Black Sunday" would have such serious consequences, so he tried to play it on the piano in his living room. After playing it once, he died next to the piano and wrote these last words on the score of "Black Sunday": "The melody of this piece of music is too cruel. This is not a piece of music that humans can endure. Destroy it." Otherwise, more people will die due to stimulation."

"Black Sunday" was called "The Devil's Invitation" at the time, and at least 100 people committed suicide after listening to it. It was banned for 13 years. Even psychoanalysts and psychologists cannot provide a satisfactory explanation for the composer's own motivation for composing the music.

Due to the increasing number of people committing suicide, radio stations in the United States, Britain, France, Spain and many other countries held a special meeting and called on European and American countries to boycott "Black Sunday".

This murderous piece of music was finally destroyed, and the author confessed before his death because of guilt: "I didn't expect that this piece of music has brought so many disasters to mankind. Let the world punish my soul!"

I listened to this well-deserved song again at noon today, and it was completely less depressing than the first time I heard it (without knowing it). After that, I listened to several sad songs one after another, and found that the difference between these songs is: Black Sunday is completely sad, extremely sad! When you listen to it, it's like the dead singing to the living. Both the tune and the lyrics contain silent sadness, and describe death as a very beautiful thing. And other songs have a beautiful side, a sunny side. If you cry, it's just because you are moved and not just sad.
