[QUOTE="Carnotaurus, post: 10742, member: 311"] Sorry for double posting, but you made me really curious and I've researched a bit about it. So it started as a song about war tragedy (original title was “Vége a világnak” / The world is ending) but was moved more in the direction of love tragedy (since Rezso Seress' the composer wife died). The suicides seem to be more of an urban legend, it is said people were committing suicide while playing sheets of the song, leaving notes with lyrics on them or while listening to it, though it was not properly verified, but the lyrics are depressing nonetheless. The composer of the song ended up in suicide, after he escaped death several times (as Jewish, during WWII he was trapped in a camp and a German officer saved him because he was a fan of his song). I found this story really interesting, and the song was a big hit since there were lots of covers since then. My personal favorite is the 2010's rock version.
