Don't fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult (LYRICS)

[musiclover9903]

I love Supernatural but thats not why I like this song. It reminds me of Stephen Kings The Stand. :)

[TayyBabyyXO]

i loved this song before Supernatural, & i love Supernatural too, & the fact that they played this song on it made me love Supernatural that much more <33 They should make a soundtrack for that show, cause they play AWESOME music on it

[insaneNikeT90]

this is terrific, its a great song... it could just use a little more cowbell

[makaveli828]

the stand 1994 haha i know this came out like 20 years before that relax

[PeBa279]

funky black cat

[cartman64439]

needs more cowbell.

[1999MRWRESTLING]

1 of the all time great songs.

[kcc1396]

Mass effect 3 credit song

[xXMcEpsilonXx]

I feel like I stare at death with this song. It's a bit scary, a bit suprising, a bit opening. Thinking deeply, this has allowed me to appreciate life even more.

[belahjulie]

gabou <3

[MerviGunDude]

this song=Mass Effect.

[tyler225905]

Thumbs up if you are here because of Super Mario Guy RPG.

[elderscroller2397]

I have a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!

[HongKongKingKong007]

Gronkh <3

[griffdog118]

Is any1 else sensing a credits song for mass effect 3

[mastadefor]

Am I the only one that has been reminded of Pet Semetry by Ramonesmlistening to this awesome piece of music?

[RubilishiousGirl]

mom walks into the room

mom: what on earth are you listning to?

me: blue oyster cults dont fear the reaper

mom: thats my age music, go listen to justin beiber

me: WTF hell no

mom leaves laughing

[DarkFire1123100]

this is like my FAVORITE and i am only 13

[hopkins624]

blue oyster cult made the song not the hit crew...

[mrslovehearts]

i heard this on true crime new york city.. had to find it!

[PikachuGoth1]

freaking awesome song :P

[Sandmangamer275]

Funky Black Cat !

[GaiaGirl2468]

I love this song

I think it was also on supernatural

[supersaiyanjohnny081]

cannot... unhear... the cowbell.

[des696969]

Why do people care where somebody heard a song? I heard this in a wow movie about 4-5 years ago.. I enjoyed listening to it so i'm listening to it again.

[nigellinaballerina]

Wut....this isn't Blue Oyster Cult......?

[ArturCS1]

funky black cat!

[Savemefromhelen]

Shame that the only two big hits from Blue Oyster Cult are Don't Fear the Reaper and Burning For You.

But at least they got 2 hits in. Some bands don't get any.

[disturbedchild18]

you have two extra la's in the lyrics XD but other then that B.O.C is a great band :)

[samirnge1]

JUST EPIC!!!

[Newsha3]

The Simpsons brought me here! Great song.

[XTROOPERS9]

One day I went to Mcdonalds and ordered a hamburger. I got it and unwrapped it. I wasn't happy with it and brought it back up to the cashier. I looked her strait in the eyes with a glare, and said, "not enough cowbell" and walked out.

[Hrrrrng]

Mass Effect soundtrack gogogogogo

[DanniiYoung656]

I first heard this song in the credits of "The Frighteners". Michael J. Fox brought me here!

[ThePortadump]

WOAH! THAT'S AN AWESOME SOLO!

[ZebedysRevenge]

Faith supernatural season 1 god dayamn!!!!

[Metaltherebel92]

Haha, I just knew the top comment would be about Supernatural :) It introduced me too this song also. Allways great music on that show, classic rock. This is not the original however.. ?

[makinawdandy6699]

What is the message of this song? Life is short. We are dying. We have to understand that. We have to make peace with our mortality. The song suggests an afterlife. 

"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. We'll be able to fly..." ***WOW ! ***

[Da12kL0rD]

After reading the top comments and finding out this song is in supernatural, I must watch supernatural now..

[nightmeer6]

I'VE GOT A FEVER... AND THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION... IS MORE COWBELL!

[ThatBoyTLong]

@nightmeer6 When my pants are on. I make gold records.

[natlalalala]

NEEDS MORE COWBELL

[TheMylo84]

@natlalalala you got a fever? damn bro we DO need more cowbell!

[iiCokkies]

The Stand... Awesome!

[Catfishdewd]

I heard this 13 years ago in my dad's beat up blue Honda on the way to Radio Shack.

[porterbehling]

did anybody come here because of the music, and not because of some TV show?

[MrFreaksoldier]

@porterbehling I did, but don't be mad from where people come from if they like the song does it matter why?

[porterbehling]

@MrFreaksoldier and that's perfectly fine. It doesn't matter where you heard it. But I hate how everyone is talking about some show, instead of the song.

I mean, games like Bioshock and fallout showed me music from an era long past,and thanks to those games, i was able to learn about people like The Ink spots, Frank Sintra, Bobby Darin, ect. But i don't go to those videos just to say "woot B1oshock! FTW!!!1!"

and that's basically what those thumbed up people are saying.

[shoopwhoopas]

@porterbehling That's pretty sad that a video game had to introduce you to Frank Sinatra. Broaden you music tastes, young one; there's more genres of music than what's on guitar hero and the radio.

[porterbehling]

@shoopwhoopas young one, guitar hero... hehehe... listen here you little annoying, elitist, piece of trash. There is NOTHING wrong with learning about Frank Sinatra through video games. I don't play Guitar hero, I play an actual guitar.

I'll tell you what I hate. When annoying little hipsters such as you try to act superior because you learned of a genre of music through some other way... such as radio, growing up listening to it, seeing it in a movie, etc.

[porterbehling]

@shoopwhoopas but please, tell me you douche bag, what is wrong about hearing it from through another form of entertainment?

[shoopwhoopas]

@porterbehling Frank Sinatra is one of the greatest people in entertainment from the 20th century. He is (at least I thought...) a household name like Elvis. It's ironic that generation Y is said to be technology junkies, and he found out about Sinatra from a video game. Oh well, at least Sinatra is still getting some new listeners postmortem.

[porterbehling]

@shoopwhoopas well, you got to realize, for a lot of house holds it isn't. I grew up in the country, my father listened to nothing but Country music, and i had to learn country music. I never got to listen this old classics. And if a video game, TV show, radio, etc. Got people listening to it, that should be fine.

[shoopwhoopas]

@porterbehling I apologize for your father's shit music tastes and your sheltered upbringing.

[porterbehling]

@shoopwhoopas hey, don't be making fun of country, sure new country sucks... but old country is great. Either way, the point remains, not everyone grows up with the kind of music you did. And you shouldn't diss people who learn good music via popular culture. Hell, I never once listened to Blue Oyster cult until one of my friends showed it to me, does that make it better than by learning it through a game, T.V. show, etc?

[shoopwhoopas]

@porterbehling No, I still think you're an uncultured slob that lets pop culture dictate your music tastes. Have fun playing guitar hero, maybe someday daddy will steal a real banjo for you.

[porterbehling]

@shoopwhoopas wow... what the fuck is your problem? I mean seriously? You act like such an elitist fucking dick. Oh...and I don't play "guitar hero" I play an actual guitar (10 years training) and the piano (6 years). I can probably actually play an instrument. But what ever, I can see you are just some... god awful human being, that tries and acts like he is superior because he heard a kind of music before another person... you didn't actually created it there.

[porterbehling]

@shoopwhoopas either way, i'm ending this "conversation" with you. It's kinda pointless arguing with a person like you... i thought I was talking to a person who actually misunderstood about a topic, and that i could clear it up... instead you are just an annoying little kid who trolls. Have a great day.

[shoopwhoopas]

@porterbehling It makes it even worse that you claim you're a musician, and yet have to be introduced to Sinatra from a kiddy video game. Anyways, carry on banging out random power chords on your geetar and butchering "Moonlight Sonata." Good riddance.

[SkullingtonMusic]

@porterbehling  I knew BOC before.. but i actually came here beacause the accapella band from scrubs covert this =)

[holly1849]

@porterbehling Not me..Supernatural brought me here.. Supernatural <3 <3

[TheShadowfan9000]

[hellokitteeee]

I like pierce the veil's cover a lotttt better. 

[FrozenSymmetry]

@hellokitteeee No just no this is the best version because its original. Scremo bands that cover old songs need to gtfo and stop ruining good songs.

[NikosIbanezRG]

[JunkPunched22]

It's impossible not to hear the cowbell after you've seen the SNL skit!

[EthanSchexnyderMusic]

Too many La's.

[TheGTAJoker]

@adamstakeonlife God, I love inside jokes.

[koalafrezh747]

My dad told me that a couple back in the 60's or 70's had commited suicide to this song and after hearing the lyrics more clear i can honestly say that its sad that happened but kinda beautiful

[Ms66C]

i miss music like this ...



[xXiicodXx]

[bijidluonra]

[Wizardi1111]

DSP

[freakontime15]

what is the whole "more co1wbell" thing about?

[LightYagame100000]

@freakontime15 i think it's also the name of a soup or some shit.

[freakontime15]

@LightYagame100000 oh ok

[TheComixkid2099]

@freakontime15 It's from a SNL skit with Will Ferrel and Christopher Walken. You can barely hear it here, but there's this cowbell being used in the song, and the skit references that.

[freakontime15]

@TheComixkid2099 ok didnt kno that

[gertie1999]

@freakontime15 Its a Saturday Night Skit from 2000 and it has people portraying the band during a recording session and in it there's a cowbell and the guy kept saying it needed more cowbell.

[freakontime15]

@gertie1999 ooh ok, got what ya saying, muh nigg

[Headstrong87]

Thumbs up if you actually liked this song before anyone started to feature it. >.>

[06031997ful]

[LightYagame100000]

Cab someone tell m e what this song is about ? It just doesn't make sense to me, any of it, but I like it oO.

[HottWheelchair]

@LightYagame100000 I believe it is about death, but I could be wrong

[BlackSabbath1204]
