Cursed Song: Gloomy Sunday.

One of my favorite dark legends. The legend of the cursed song typically refers to folklore where a melody is believed to bring misfortune, madness, or even death to those who hear or play it. In many versions, the song is said to be so hauntingly beautiful that it compels listeners to obsess over it, leading to tragic outcomes. Variants of this legend exist worldwide, with famous examples like Gloomy Sunday, a Hungarian song linked to numerous suicides, and the myth of Paganini, whose virtuosic violin playing was rumored to be devil-inspired.
