Just saw him perform this live in Budapest. Even as a hungarian, I think this is one of the best renditions. It really drew in the audience.

My favorite version of the song. It's beautifully sad. It's so difficult to play though. I need to learn the chords he used.

The film Gloomy Sunday, set in WWII Budapest is an incredibly moving tale, revolving around the author of the song. Great interpretation Elvis. I love singing this myself, and can pull of a half decent rendition on a good day, even better on a bad day, naturally 😁

He softened it, in eluding to it being a dream, and it was HIS fianceé. There is controversy if it is all about his lady, or if it is an mix of that, and the horrible conditions in Hungary then. First recorded in Hungarian by Pal Kamar in 1933, 1st US recording-Hal Kemp, 1935. "The words were a perfect match for the voice of Holiday. Her scratchy, woeful tones brings the song's pain in a way no other artist can match. Perhaps that's why her definitive version." Jazz, Mar '10.

@vraellar All is forgiven, but ANY error regarding a Billie Holiday masterpiece, must be cleared. Her version of this song was banned from radio for years, because there had been a rash of suicides, with notes that only read: Goodbye Gloomy Sunday. This song has history and Voodoo all around it.

@ElizabethHaydon And my point is this: It is Her masterpiece in performance. If you even casually follow the history of the Music business, you'd know some of the greatest writers on Tin Pan Alley, i.e., Leiber &Stoller, Carole King, Johnny Mercer, et al, at the time were regarded with the same respect as an entry level runner. This is not to dismiss theirs, or Rezso works, it is simply the nature of the beast. I doubt we have the same sources, Ive been a student of music..cont

Sunday is gloomy, my hours are slumberlessDearest the shadows I live with are numberlessLittle white flowers will never awaken youNot where the black coach of sorrow has taken youAngels have no thought of ever returning youWould they be angry if I thought of joining you? Gloomy Sunday Gloomy is Sunday, with shadows I spend it allMy heart and I have decided to end it allSoon there’ll be candles and prayers that are sad I knowLet them not weep let them know that I’m glad to goDeath is no dream for in death I’m caressing youWith the last breath of my soul I’ll be blessing you Gloomy Sunday Dreaming, I was only dreamingI wake and I find you asleep in the deep of my heart, hereDarling, I hope that my dream never haunted youMy heart is telling you how much I wanted you Gloomy Sunday

The dreaming I was only dreaming was not part of the original, it was added to ironically make the song less depressing which is the whole point of the song

@painxtreme I liked the elvis costello version of the song better then billie holday's version, but nothing compare to the despondent melodic of the original version. it brings tears to my eyes without the words.

I can go much deeper on this, if you want life stories told. He did not kill himself until age 70, by throwing himself out of his window, in 1968. 102 suicides are attributed to the song. Famously a man heard a beggar humming it, and upon hearing it, gave his possessions to the homeless man, and leapt off a nearby bridge. Do you want more? Careful what you ask for, because I am guessing I may know more about this than you might imagine.

There's a lot of confusion here about the origins of this song. The music was written by Rezső Szeress but the lyrics were written by Hungarian poet László Jávor, who did NOT commit suicide. Szeress also wrote lyrics for the music, but they were entitled "Vége a világnak" (End of the world"). Szeress DID kill himself, but not by jumping out of a window - that was a failed suicide attempt.

Sorry, but long subject. In Europe it was widely known as Rezso's song, but he did the writing of the music, and poet Laszlo Javor penned the lyrics. In Schindler's List, Holiday's version plays during one of the film's opening scenes. Point being, he co-wrote a lovely song, but Holiday's is the definitive performance, & few with musical knowledge would dispute, whether its their preferred or not. 3rd house? u mean 3rd verse, 3rd Reich? Javor did later Soften the last verse..cont

@ElizabethHaydon I am quite aware of how he wrote the song after his love had left him. It was a hit, she returned & a day later, took poison leaving a note saying only, "Gloomy Sunday". Would you also like me to delineate all of the various Paprika to the board so they get an intro into Hungarian seasonings? Did I say Billie Holiday's Suicide song?...point it out. You gave him his credit, why do you need it from me? Regardless, she made it a Masterpiece with her forlorn voice.

@painxtreme lol I probably read already the same sources you read, there are many stories about this song. But what I couldn't understand from you is the way his girlfriend died. We both know that she committed suicide after the song had became a great hit. But why no one' knows. some say that it's because the oppertunity she missed when she left Rezso, and you said and I quote "All is forgiven, but ANY error regarding a Billie Holiday masterpiece" I.E. Billy holiday's song. watch your words

'@painxtreme lol... this masterpiece is a Rezso Seress masterpiece and not billie holiday and all of the versions were banned. the hungarian version is the most depresive of all and thats " why this song called "the hungarian suicide song and not "billie holidays suicide song" the man got so depressed that he would never write such a song again that he committed suicide and the deeply depresive spirits was Rezso Seress's spirit so please atleast give him the credit

since my Granddad would play Django Reinhardt & Benny Goodman 78's for me. I have his Glass horn Gramophone, an Edison Cylinder, & a unique Victrola that plays either 16 or 78 rpm, and the disks are 1/2" thick. Even in her time, Billie Holiday was recognized as the one of not the greatest female Jazz singers ever. IMO, better than Vaughn, Piaff is close in her tone & styling, but you should be glad to know, Miss Lady Day always referred to it as the Hungarian Suicide Song. More, grrr
