I better not post anything long for my own sake, before I start typing nonsensical things. I am mentally falling apart and completely torn about what to do about it.
Today's featured song is the soundtrack of mine, and many other people's last day on earth.

Background Info:
"Gloomy Sunday" is a song composed by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezső Seress in 1933 to a Hungarian poem written by László Jávor (original Hungarian title of both song and poem "Szomorú vasárnap" (Hungarian pronunciation: [somoru vɒʃa rnɒp]), in which the singer reflects on the horrors of modern culture.
Though recorded and performed by many singers, "Gloomy Sunday" is closely associated with Billie Holiday, who scored a hit version of the song in 1941. Owing to unsubstantiated urban legends about its inspiring hundreds of suicides, "Gloomy Sunday" was dubbed the "Hungarian suicide song" in the United States. Seress did commit suicide in 1968.
