This song makes me question the crap that is today's music. I have to live with everyone around me listening to bleh while I've got my I-pod listening to Blue Oyster Cult's greatest songs. Oh how I pity my generation that listen to their mediocrity while right behind them was THIS.
Saw them w/Black Sabbath years ago, when Black Sabbath came out w/ "Heaven and Hell, Blue Oyster Cult w/"Cultasousas Erectus. It was dubbed the Black & Blue Concert. Damn! good concert.
This album was released in 1978 in the summer not 1979. I saw them in concert at The Great Southern Music Hall in Gainesville Florida. I was 12 and it was my 1st concert. I was so loud I could not hear right for 3 days. My left ear still has problems because of that. Great Show but they were never the same after Albert and Joseph Bouchard left the band. Lost chemistry because of it.
I love blue oyster cult but listening to it makes me depressed at how gut-renchingly bad most of the music being released today is. I hate that the music associated with my age demographic is so repetitive and uncreative. Every time i turn on the radio it's another pop-song about how much money someone has, or a rap song about how great they are and how much it sucks to be someone else. THIS is music. I don't know what to call that other stuff...
soft white underbelly at the dungeon on third street Dover New Hampshire early eighties ,was too young to get in , but the buzz was about town BOC is playing over there .
I heard this song today in a Shell gas station. I have not heard it since listening to my brother's Mirrors album back in the early 80's. Great to hear it again and again on youtube.
One of there best albums. Would see them when the came to town as Soft White Underbelly at Wolfgangs in San Fransico. Great to see them in such a small venue.
If a DJ doesn't have control over what they play, then dncstevens' comment should be redirected to music programmers - or whatever - but it still stands. This is not a personal favourite BOC track of mine but it's a decent commercial rock single that deserved more attention than it got. I bought a second hand vinyl copy of Mirrors a couple of months ago, and neither my housemate or I could understand how we'd never heard this song before.
I bought a BOC CD a couple years ago, and I only knew Don't Fear the Reaper and Godzilla. But I loved those songs, so I thought I would give the band a try. I listened to the whole thing, and didn't care too much for a lot of their songs. But this song makes me pretty close to tears almost every time I hear it :)
@ThinCrustPizza67 Jim morrison, Great singer of The Legendary band The doors.now i'm 14 years old, and i'm a Huge fan of the doors, and Blue oyster cult. got a Flag with him on it. on my wall.
I heard this song back in 1983 like once or twice. Hearing it again is great. This is certainly one of the greatest songs in classic rock. How the heck does this escape classic rock airplay. I mean, seriously, if you're a dj, do you play "We Built This City" or "In Thee?" And how much airplay did that former Jefferson Whatever piece of something I left in the toilet this morning get airplay? JEEZ. Play THIS song! Thanks for posting it!
I couldn't agree more.. this song is as good as Kiss' "Beth" or Peter Frampton "I'm In You," etc.. I'm glad in a way that it hasn't been played to death because it still sounds very fresh to me. Ha!
@dncstevens Don't you love that? You hear a song but you never quite get it's name and so and so months or years later when you hear it again it's all the more better!
Saw Blue Oyster Cult last week at a small venue north of Denver CO. They still have one of the best live shows I have seen although many of the original members have been replaced.
mysterious cute blonde girl who slept on my shoulder on my flight, i dedicate this song to you.

Or probably BOC should be remembered as "softmetal" or "heavy-prog".
