The deadliest song ever:People used to commit suicide after listening it
Music and songs is one of the most finest method.Songs are just life partners,you used to listen throughout your life,its always make us feel fresh.Whatever is the situation you just refresh yourself with songs.Party,wedding ceremony,festivals,programmes,nothing is full without music.Songs is the best method to come out of depression,in your lonliness it's your partner.
Music is found in every known culture, past and present, varying widely between times and places. Since all people of the world, including the most isolated tribal groups, have a form of music, it may be concluded that music is likely to have been present in the ancestral population prior to the dispersal of humans around the world. Consequently, music may have been in existence for at least 50,000 years.
Today i am going to tell you about the song which took several life.
Gloomy Sunday also known as the "Hungarian Suicide Song" is a popular song composed by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezso Seress and published in 1933.
The original lyrics were titled "Vege a vilagnak" and were about despair caused by war,ending in a quiet prayer about people's sins.Poet Laszlo Javor wrote his own lyrics to the song titled le Szomrou vasarnap(sad sunday),in which the protagonist wants to commit suicide following his lover's death.
Whatever the case, “Szomorú Vasárnap,” as it was titled, didn’t make much of a splash at first. But two years later, a recorded version by Pál Kálmar was connected to a rash of suicides in Hungary. The song was then allegedly banned. Short of learning Hungarian and trawling through Budapest newspapers from the 1930s, it is impossible to verify any of this (Hungary does historically have one of the higher suicide rates in the world - approximately 46 out of every 100,000 people take their own lives there every year).

In Budapest, a shop keeper is claimed to have killed himself and left a note that quoted the song lyrics.
And in London, a women is said to have overdosed while listening to the record on repeat.
Many of the deaths are difficult to verify, and critics have linked the suicides – most of which took place between 1930-40s - to famine, poverty and Nazi Germany’s influence in Europe.
It was banned several times.
The song was never officiallybanned in the U.S., though it was in England.The BBC banned Billie Holiday’s version of the song from being broadcast, saying it was detrimental to wartime morale.
However, the ban was lifted in 2002.
