Don't Fear the Reaper

Thanks to my new fav show Supernatural (in the recent episode "Faith") I've recently been exposed to the song "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult. And I love it… love it…

And actually, given that the main characters listen to nothing but classic rock as they roar down dark and littered highways from city to city and paranormal event to paranormal event, I've been repeatedly exposed to songs that I had forgotten I loved (or never knew I loved, like the aforementioned...)

Anyway... apparently lyrics are big for me these days. And after listening to it a dozen or more times, I've discovered that this song isn't just a great tune but actually a cool little story (and not to get too meditative… perhaps a BOC assertion that souls aren’t lost at death but simply become a part of the universe - like the wind and the sun and the rain.

Regardless…this song rules and all must hear the story….

Don’t Fear (the Reaper) - Blue Oyster Cult


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)
Baby I'm your man
La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la

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
La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la


Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone

Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared (saying don't be afraid)
Come on baby (and she had no fear)
And she ran to him (then they started to fly)
They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (she had become like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)
