Blue Oyster Cult - (Don't Fear) The Reaper (1976) (Remaster w/Lyrics) [1080p HD] ~ORIGINAL VIDEO~

[Video #75] from http://www.youtube.com/user/MetalGuruMessiah the address for MetalGuruMessiah's Musical Paint Box! Check out my other videos!

The rock classic "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" was released in the spring of 1976 on Blue Oyster Cult's album Agents Of Fortune.

Those ringing guitars, that riff from the gods...and yes, that cowbell! The tune is one of the greatest in the history of rock. Period.

This is the fourth video I've made for a song by Blue Oyster Cult, one of my very favorite rock bands. This video started out as a video for another song on the Agents Of Fortune album, "Morning Final" (most of my videos are from deep album tracks, and I have a grand total of 4 from Agents Of Fortune, not including Reaper....that I plan to make). However during the hunt for images, I stumbled across one of the reaper images....and couldn't resist halting "Morning Final" to crank out the absolute greatest, most well-known track the band ever did.

It was one of those videos where there so many things going on, it was very difficult to lose so many great things....very nice masks of the full moon in Romeo and Juliet's window, time-lapse crowds, and of course, much more of my favorite....storm clouds and lightning!

It's just one of the masterpieces of rock....the video is not nearly sophisticated enough to honor the song properly, but it's the best I could do.

Hope you enjoy the effort!

[Lyrics]
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...

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...

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 goodby...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

Jon help the reaper's gonna get me :( featured your song today! I love this video!

[MetalGuruMessiah]

@MsJaggerz

You know T, you should keep a cowbell handy at all times in case the reaper shows up....then clang the hell out of that bell......it may frighten him away! LOL!

So kind of you to feature it on your fantastic, beautiful, soulful channel! Check ya soon!

Liking this. I was a late comer to the joy of BOC. I was introduced to them in the mid 90's by the singer of the band I was playing with at the time. I'd heard don't fear the reaper before but nothing else by the band. I'm a huge fan now and I've even seen them live at a quite intimate venue in Wales. Awesome. Odd really how this, their biggest hit was sung by Buck, the guitarist and not by Eric Bloom the lead vocalist.

Your Video montage really fits the song well. good work.

@elvisbeavis

Wow, you did join the BOC party kinda late!? So cool you found them though...you owe that singer! :-) Yeah, many have heard of course, Don't Fear The Reaper, but miss out on the other incredible music this band has produced.  Every album they ever did contains numerous absolute top shelf rock and roll and the early albums are especially stuffed with greatness! ...but of course you now know this! :-)

Yeah, it's ironic that their greatest hit wasn't sung by their greatest singer!
