From Badfinger's "Without You" to the infamous "Curse of the Ninth" in classical music, and the haunting tales of "Gloomy Sunday" and "Insha Ji Utho," each melody carries a story of heartbreak, misfortune, and, in some cases, an inexplicable curse. Uncover the behind-the-scenes tragedies of musicians like Robert Johnson, and the eerie coincidences surrounding the Curse of the Ninth. Discover how a seemingly harmless karaoke performance of Frank Sinatra's "My Way" can lead to deadly consequences in the Philippines. Join us on a journey through the dark side of music, where notes intertwine with fate.
