Sunday Is Gloomy

Sunday is gloomy,
My hours are slumberless,
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers will
never awaken you
Not where the black coach
of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thought of
ever returning you
Would they be angry
if I thought of joining you
Gloomy Sunday.

Sunday is gloomy
with shadows I spend it all
My heart and I have
decided to end it all
Soon there'll be flowers
and prayers that are sad,
I know, let them not weep,
let then know
that I'm glad to go

Death is no dream,
for in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my
soul I'll be blessing you

Gloomy Sunday
Dreaming
I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you
asleep in the deep of
my heart dear

Darling I hope that my dream
never haunted you
My heart is telling you
how much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday.

- Sinead O'Connor

I don't find it boring at all, if I ignore the poetry, which I have done.
It worked for me initially, but the shadows on top are too close to the tree.

Did you know that Gloomy Sunday is actually a very old song? It's by a Hungarian named Rezsoe Seres, who first released it in the US in 1936 as "Hungarian suicide song."

Artists who have covered or reinterpreted the song include:

Emilie Autumn
1936: Hal Kemp and his Orchestra
1936: Paul Whiteman
1941: Billie Holiday
1958: Mel Tormé
1961: Sarah Vaughan
1967: Carmen McRae
1968: Genesis
1969: Ray Charles
1979: Lydia Lunch
1981: Elvis Costello & the Attractions (Trust) ()
1982: Associates
1983: Swans Way
1984: Peter Wolf
1986: Christian Death
1988: Serge Gainsbourg (Le Zénith de Gainsbourg) (in French)
1991: The Singing Loins (Songs For The Organ)
1991: Sarah McLachlan (Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff)
1992: Sinéad O'Connor (Am I Not Your Girl?)
1995: Gitane Demone
1996: Mystic (The Funeral soundtrack)
1998: Marianne Faithfull
1999: The Smithereens (God Save the Smithereens)
1999: Björk
1999: Heather Nova (South)
2000: Kronos Quartet
2000: Sarah Brightman
2003: Edvin Marton
2004: Branford Marsalis (Eternal)
2004: MC Sniper (with changed lyrics, rap, Korean)
2005: Jaurim
2005: Eminemmylou featuring Legs MC (raps added, turned into anti-suicide anthem)
2005: Venetian Snares - as Öngyilkos Vasárnap (suicide Sunday) using Billie Holiday's vocals
2006: Tsukimono (on Famousfor15mb.com)
2006: Angéla Póka (live) (performing Szomorú Vasárnap live during Megasztár)
Marc Almond
Ricky Nelson
Artie Shaw
Anton Lavey - from "htmpl productions & pcl link dump - christianity vs satanism" compilation
Diamanda Galas
Rob Coffinshaker
2003: Hot Jazz Band
2006: Red Sky Mourning
2006: Lucía Jiménez (for the movie the Kovak Box inspired by the song)
The Dead Milkmen did not actually cover the song, but they quoted its lyrics in their 1987 song "(Theme From) Blood Orgy of the Atomic Fern".

Venetian Snares remixed Billie Holiday's version on his album "Rossz Csillag Alatt Született" (English: born under a bad star)

Emilie Autumn also refers to this song in her song "The Art of Suicide".
