this song has been done countless times by many different artists over the years. here are a few renditions, including the original. with help from this last.fm group: http://www.last.fm/group/Gloomy+Sunday/forum/107619/_/467213
i don't include the Billie Holiday version because everyone has heard it already. also, adding the apologetic "it was only a dream" verse is a disgrace and makes my skin crawl. whoever's idea that was, that was awful.
