Suicide Song: Do not listen to this song even by mistake???


It has been proved in many research studies that listening to music reduces stress. Sad songs become your support even when the mood is bad, but if you are told that such a thing has happened in the world where many people have given their lives because of one song, will you be able to believe it?  There was such a song that people used to commit suicide just by listening to it.


The song became the cause of death

In the year 1933, the Hungarian composer Rezso Seress composed a song called 'Gloomy Sunday' or 'Sad Sunday'. According to the information, this song was related to love and there was so much pain in it that many people committed suicide after listening to it. After this 'Gloomy Sunday' was named the world's most wretched song (The Hungarian Suicide Song).


The ban continued for 62 years

Not only this, the song was re-composed due to the continuous reports of suicides, but despite this, the process of people committing suicide did not end. The first suicide case came to light in Berlin after listening to the song Gloomy Sunday. Here a boy shot himself after listening to the song.

After this, an elderly person in New York jumped from the 7th floor after listening to the song, while in hungary a 17-year-old girl jumped into the water and gave her life. Seeing this, the craze for the song had increased so much that listening to it was banned and this ban continued for 62 years. However, in the year 2003, the ban was lifted on this song.
