So I was trying to find the perfect music to help set the scene for a future filled with despair & Jersey Shore books (see below) when I came across Gloomy Sunday by Reszo Seress, a Hungarian composer.This song is interesting because of the number of urban legends behind it. Essentially, this song is said to have caused a large number of suicides. The video, after the jump, gives a detailed (and somewhat romanticized) account of Seress' song and its effects. It is certainly an interesting and morbid read, which is why I am blogging about it, but I don't know how much of it is true.
