Dark Music

[Deux Corbeaux]

~~~~

Music can have a profound impact on the human psyche and emotions, but can one song lead to more than a hundred suicide deaths?

Gloomy Sunday

The original Gloomy Sunday, written in 1932 by Rezső Seress, was known as the Hungarian Suicide Song and blamed for more suicides than any other song in history.

ADD
The number of suicides in those days were more likely due to other factors such as famine and poverty, as well as the rise of Nazi Germany's influence in Europe.
No studies have drawn a clear link between the song and suicide.

Lyrics (Literal Translation)

"On a sad Sunday with a hundred white flowers
I was waiting for you, my dear, with a church prayer
That dream-chasing Sunday morning
The chariot of my sadness returned without you.
Ever since then, Sundays are always sad
Tears are my drink, and sorrow is my bread.
Sad Sunday.
Last Sunday, my dear, please come along,
There will even be priest, coffin, catafalque, hearse-cloth.
Even then flowers will be awaiting you, flowers and coffin.
Under blossoming (flowering in Hungarian) trees
My journey shall be the last.
My eyes will be open, so that I can see you one more time
Do not be afraid of my eyes as I am blessing you even in my death.
Last Sunday."

In 1936 the song was released in English in with revised lyrics by Ray M. Lewis. This version clearly refers to suicide.

"Gloomy is Sunday, with shadows I spend it all
My heart and I have decided to end it all
Soon there’ll be candles and prayers that are sad I know
Let them not weep let them know that I’m glad to go"

Some English versions like the one below, added the following verse:

"Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart, dear
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is tellin' you
How much I wanted you

Gloomy Sunday"

Very Dark indeed. The latter video you posted was just as dark as the first.
I thought this is where we post Dark Music, as one of my favorite bands Black Sabbath came to mind.

I came across this video some time ago. But let me be clear, I won't look at it again. I only copied the link. This gave me instant nightmares.

If anyone does listen to it and gets problems afterwards, please let me know. :)

This last one sure is "atmospheric"... reminds me of the 60's and 70's experimental rock! :)

I believe "Gloomy Sunday" was the song played in Schindler's List, purposefully, which induced a German officer to commit suicide. It was in the book. I'm not sure about the movie.

The sinister tritone
“The Devil's Chord Change”



That is what the Black Sabbath theme song is based on.

Having seen them do it live, it is entirely likely that the third note is the heaviest sound in existence.

So this song has reported suicides related to it and you post it????

I'm really sorry if this post offended you.

However, the number of suicides in those days were more likely due to other factors such as famine and poverty, as well as the rise of Nazi Germany's influence in Europe.

I read in the replies that the language is romanian (backwards).

(backward) auov uad auon acnurop ias iicinecu ertac iulunmod asiz.
(normal) voua den noua porunca sai ucenicii catre domnului zisa.
(english) your new commandment of the disciples to the Lord.

It's a "Romanian Orthodox Divine Liturgy recorded in a church in Baia Mare, Romania, played backward".
On the Romanian part, the order of the words should also be reversed for it to make sense.....?? Why? Satanism is inversion, isn't it?

[scanner]

Absolutely, an inversion.

[Deux Corbeaux]

Bowie, Black Star.

The artwork for this album was designed by Jonathan Barnbrook, who said of this particular role: "Blackstar is a dark album about dark times. I hope in what I’ve done there’s something that resonated with the darkness of the music in some way."

Blackstar was released on David Bowie's 69th birthday, 8 Januari 2016.
Two days after the release of this album, David died, turning Blackstar into his swan song.

[petra]

Falco's Out Of The Dark sounds like a prelude to suicide to me.
Falco died in a car accident, but I can't help but feel like he might have ended his own life.

English Translation:

Out Of The Dark by Falco (aka Johann Hölzel)

I can't get enough of you
You're in every breath
Everything revolves around you
Why me of all people

Count the hours, the seconds
But time seems to stand still
Oppressed myself, twisted (myself)
Let me go

What more do you want
Do you want to count my days
Why do you have to
Torment me with my longing

Your hell burns inside of me
You're my elixir to survive
I am torn
When will you kiss my wounds

Do you hear the hour which says to you
I give up and close my eyes
Hörst du die stunde, die dir sagt
I give up and you waste your tears

I am ready since it's time
For our pact for eternity
You're already there, so close
I can feel you
Let myself be seduced, let myself be carried off
Tonight for the last time
Devoted to your power/control
Give me your hand
My life, tell me the price
I give you yesterday, today and tomorrow
Then it's a full circle, no way back
The white light comes closer, step by step
Want to be enacted

Do I have to die
In order to live

Into the light
Out of the dark
Into the light
To the night

David Bowie's Black Star gives me the creeps big time, there's something very sinister about that song!

[Corfitz]

I think there was a period , during the climate of occult fear , that loads of heavy rock musicians were accused, and even sued for songs that ( very much supposedly) encouraged people to commit suicide. Ozzy Osbourne - Suicide Solution , is one song that comes to mind. It's hysteria though , in this instance, as the song is about alcoholism being equal to slowly committing suicide.

[shaberon]

That's right, it was mostly a situation where judges would not uphold the claims and generally the musicians came out sounding pretty reasonable.

By contrast if I look at folk rock act Pentangle, which I am a fan of, they are of course much "nicer" sounding than Ozzy, but, I'm not sure, probably at least half of their stuff is about death, murder, sexual betrayal, and all kinds of grim stuff. And so obviously, gloomy suicidal sounds go back way before that. It was more like a particular group of people complaining about music they didn't like.

Seems to me the suicidal urge comes from some other prevailing direction, and, without something to listen to, they might do it sooner, who knows?

I sold a shotgun to a guy one time who used it in probably less than thirty minutes. It would have been sooner, except I didn't have shells for it. I really thought something was a bit off about him, but generally speaking this is the last crime anyone would suspect, and I couldn't tell what he was doing. The authorities spoke to me about it because there was not enough facial tissue for a positive i. d.

It happens, but, I would have a hard time pinning that on a song.

Marina Abramovic? Dark.

[Sue (Ayt)]

"The Future" by Leonard Cohen was strange/chilling when I first heard it in 1992.
But things certainly are "sliding," as far as consensual reality, and it is reaching massive proportions. We have so many more "realties" now since the internet.
I think it was in Richard Bach's "Illusions" where the character asked just how many realties there are, and the answer was "How many people are alive on the Earth right now?"
The lack of consensus, though, in things previously considered basics, is becoming absurdly overwhelming.

I consider this one dark, just because things never seem to change, although it's rather humorous too. <sigh>

Music is always changing it
With black and white notes
Those songs my voice is crying
Are not mine
They are wound around
And me
And me
And me I love you, my dark dream
As between the walls
Are going the prisoners
And me
And me
And me

Yes French. I don't understand French much, I knew the main lyrics were "and me" but had to look up lyrics to find the rest. ;)

[Dorjezigzag]

This was probably the darkest song I ever wrote and produced. Made over 7 years ago.
