Black Sunday, a sad song, can't be mentioned without mentioning him, in 1932, the Hungarian pianist Rezso Charles (Rezso), who was the first to play the song, and the first to play it. Seress wrote a mournful song called 'Melancholy Sunday' after the love between his girlfriend and Hungarian pianist Rezso. The song describes an unfortunate man who is unable to recall his loved one back to his side, and who frequently has suicidal thoughts on a melancholy Sunday, which is accompanied by an overwhelming longing for his beloved. The melancholic tone of the song is characterized by soul-crushing despair. The song has been the cause of many tragic and bizarre accidents since its introduction into the world. In the last century, many people have taken all kinds of extreme measures to commit suicide after hearing it. Just like the ancient Pandora's box was opened, countless demons and disasters were unleashed on earth." The above is the background of the song's creation, and I'm sure you've all had the "guts" to listen to it, but of course, we're listening to the English cover version, and the original Spanish recording was destroyed in 1945 because of its terrible power, because in the 13 years between 1932 and 1945, everyone who heard it committed suicide, hundreds of them. , surprisingly by the hundreds, and even then, people kept listening to it, and then people still kept dying.

Tried to translate the lyrics, combined with the tune is really suffering, extremely depressed. Over and over again, one sad past event echoed in my head and I was falling apart . I was trembling? But I felt the deceased's fearlessness about death, or at least I felt he was reassuring us not to be overly sad. But it has just the opposite effect, advising people who are already in a bad mood not to listen to it, really!

3.9crimes-- Damien Rice

Damien Rice's voice is so powerful that it can even materialize the emotions of the songs and then transmit them directly to the listener's heart, and his sense of instrumentation and coordination is also very good, probably because he learned to draw as a child. In addition to the illustrations on the album cover and inner pages from his hand, under his singing, those background music seems to form an exceptionally beautiful picture, this one is a very quiet song, which has some small waves, presenting a song with a strong emotional color, listen carefully to their voices, experience the feelings.

"Famous Blue Raincoat" is a Cohen classic that has been covered many times. The melancholy melody lingers in our ears and then, entangles our otherwise soft souls. Music is like good tea, the aftertaste is all between your lips and teeth. His music is not intentionally melodramatic, not intentionally disguised, not intentionally packaged, the music is as pure as our own and our own soul communication. 5. Select Memory-Eels
