Don't Fear The Reaper
Don't Fear The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
I never really listened to this song until a few days ago, because I decided to learn to play it on the ukulele. The lyrics are very interesting, I think:
"All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain (We can be like they are)
Come on baby (Don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (Don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (Don't fear the reaper)
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (Like Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (Redefine happiness)
Another 40,000 coming everyday (We can be like they are)
Come on baby (Don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (Don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (Don't fear the reaper)
Baby I'm your man..."
Odd band. Very much one-hit wonders, I'm afraid. But still, better to be a one-hit wonder than be hit in the eye with a golden wonder... they have sharp edges.
Needs more cowbell.
