Toshe's "Sad Room" hides a chilling truth: The lyrics were written by a prisoner who killed his wife's lover
The Macedonian nightingale, the tragically dead singer Tose Proeski, will always be remembered as an outstanding singer, and as a great humanitarian and a man with a big heart and soul.
Due to all his qualities, there is almost no person who did not like him, not only in Macedonia, but in the whole Balkans, and many of his songs are still heard today and remind us of the unrepentant singer with extraordinary talent.
One of his biggest hits was the song "Room for Sorrow", and few people know that behind this text there is a sad story. Namely, the lyrics of this hit were allegedly written by a man in prison who was serving a sentence for killing his wife's lover, and he dedicated these lyrics to her.
The text reached Toshe's manager, who suggested that he record that song, and the rest is history.
As reported by the media, the author of these lyrics allegedly did not want any money for the song, but only wanted a dedication to the original album, which he got.
Today marks 15 years since Macedonian singer Tose Proeski died in a traffic accident near Nova Gradishka. The Balkan one Elvis Presley, as he was called by the BBC, left us at the age of 26, leaving an indelible mark as a man.
The unrepentant singer with an angelic voice and a great humanitarian still lives through his songs and the good deeds he left us not to forget and to continue to follow his example of kindness and selflessness.
