Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Gloomy Sunday



    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 thoughts
    Of ever returning you
    Would they be angry
    If i thought of joining you?

    Gloomy sunday

    Gloomy is sunday
    With shadows I spend it all
    My heart and I
    Have decided to end it all
    Soon there'll be candles
    And prayers that are said I know
    But let them not weep
    Let them 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 here
    Darling I hope
    That my dream never haunted you
    My heart is telling you
    How much I wanted you

    Gloomy sunday

      The song was originally written by a Hungarian _László Jávor in 1930's. However this English version is supposedly modified in order to make it "less gloomy"




      "The song was named the anthem of suicide, because the record or the text was found near many people that committed suicide in those days. The legend of the magical spell that will cast people into a deep depression and finally make them commit suicide is probably not true. Nevertheless, it had greatly affected the people who heard it. The days were such, with Europe in the gate of World War II, with nazism emerging and the tensions of the great depression, that it might have had something of significance in its atmosphere. Even Freud interpreted it as the confirmation of one of his theories.
      The success of the song got ever greater. The Gloomy Sunday Clubs in the United States and the news of the suicides created considerable dispute over whether it should be altogether banned, while well-acknowledged artists of the day created death-robes and skull-shaped pianos under its influence. Eventually, Seress himself committed suicide and died in 1968. He jumped out of his window."


      -----------

      Seriously though, the song can be quite depressing, I've listened to Heather Nova's version, and her voice is beautiful,- completely pulls you into the 'gloom'. WARNING




      but I doubt you'll kill yourself

        Spiral you are my new best friend, I love this song! It's so sultry and so melancholy when sang by Billie Holiday, which is my favorite version of the song.

          Billie Holliday was the first person to cover the song in English, but I'm not a fan of her music, and her version doesn't compare to Heather Nova's.

          Have you heard Nova's version?

          Her voice is beautiful.

            Morrissey-- Everyday is like Sunday

            Trudging slowly over wet sand
            Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
            This is the coastal town
            That they forgot to close down
            Armageddon - come armageddon!
            Come, armageddon! come!

            Everyday is like sunday
            Everyday is silent and grey

            Hide on the promenade
            Etch a postcard :
            How I dearly wish I was not here
            In the seaside town
            ...that they forgot to bomb
            Come, come, come - nuclear bomb

            Everyday is like sunday
            Everyday is silent and grey

            Trudging back over pebbles and sand
            And a strange dust lands on your hands
            (and on your face...)
            (on your face ...)
            (on your face ...)
            (on your face ...)

            Everyday is like sunday
            Win yourself a cheap tray
            Share some greased tea with me
            Everyday is silent and grey
            The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. -- F. Scott Fitzgerald

              The Sundays - Summertime

              Do some people wind up with the one that they adore
              In a heart-shaped hotel room it's what a heart is for
              The bubble floats so madly will it stay sky-high?
              Hello partner, kiss your name bye-bye
              ooh sometimes...

              Romantic piscean seeks angel in disguise
              Chinese-speaking girlfriend big brown eyes
              Liverpudlian lady, sophisticated male
              Hello partner, tell me love can't fail

              And it's you and me in the summertime
              We'll be hand in hand down in the park
              With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye
              And all the sunshine banishes the dark

              Do some people wind up with the one that they abhor
              In a distant hell-hole room, the third world war
              But all I see is films where colourless despair
              Meant angry young men with immaculate hair
              ooh sometimes...
              Get up a voice inside says there's no time for looking down
              Only a pound a word & you're talking to the town
              But how do you coin the phrase though
              That will set your soul apart
              Just to touch a lonely heart

              And it's you & me in the summertime
              We'll be hand in hand down in the park
              With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye
              And all the sunshine banishes the dark
              And it's you I need in the summertime
              As I turn my white skin red
              Two peas from the same pod yes we are
              Or have I read too much fiction?

              Is this how it happens?
              How does it happen?
              How does it happen?
              How does it happen?
              Is this how it happens?
              Now, right now

                Let It Rain
                Johnny Mathis
                Written by Sid Wayne and Al Frisch



                Let it rain, let it pour
                I just don't care anymore
                Skies are gray from day to day
                Since you've gone away

                Hours come, hours go
                Time seems to move so slow
                All I do is dream of you
                All the long night through

                "Pitter patter" go the raindrops on my window pane
                They fall with ev'ry tear
                Through the trees I hear the breeze still echoing your name
                For, in my imagination, you're still here

                See the clouds high above
                Dark is my world without love
                Till you're mine the sun won't shine
                So, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain



                Hall Kristen Lyrics - Let It Rain

                I have given, I have given
                And got none.
                Still I'm driven by something I can't explain
                It's not a cross, it is a choice
                I cannot help but to hear his voice
                I only wish that I could listen without shame
                CHORUS
                Let it rain
                Let it rain on me
                Let it rain, oh let it rain
                Let it rain on me
                I have been a witness to a perfect crime
                I wipe the grin off of my face to hide the blame
                It isn't worth the tears you cry to have a perfect alibi
                Now I'm beaten at the hand of my own game
                CHORUS
                It isn't easy ot be kinda
                With all these demons in my mind
                I only hope one day I'll come clean
                CHORUS
                Let it rain
                let it rain on me
                Let it rain, oh let it rain
                Let it rain on me
                Come take my hand
                We can walk in to the light
                And without fear
                We can see through the darkest night

                  I had been looking for the lyrics to this song for a while now, finally got it.


                  Thought I'd share it with you guys too since I love it so much.

                    Ah Spiral, you could've just asked.

                    Very nice song....especially for those of us whose grandparents come from Giligia.
