First Time Listening to Blue Oyster Cult 🎵 Don't Fear The Reaper Reaction

[@Frostrazor]

[@Kenjanz]

I was a teenager when I first heard this song. At the time, I didn't fear death...after all, I was only 15 or so, and felt like death was so far away that it would actually never happen. Now, in my late 50's, and poor of health, I think about death every day...and I do fear the reaper. I dont want to die, yet at the same know that it is inevitable...I just wake up every day glad that it isn't today. At least not yet.

[@annaoswald5943]

Watching Brad's Rock/Metal journey has been difficult at times. Now that you're reacting to more classic rock, instead of hearing terms like "ear bleeder", I've been hearing more comments like "soothing, "calming" and "my speed". It's nice seeing you breakdown lyrics, while feeling the music and with a smile on your face. I think you've found a sound better for your ears.

[@mokane86]

One of the "problems" with online metal reactors is that the community often pushes for the harshest stuff right away for the immediate shock value. "Oh youve decided to give this giant ranged genre a chance? Here check out this Slaughter to Prevail!" Whereas most of us "natural fans" grew into it and trained our ears and brains to listen faster and have a library in our heads to juxtapose and appreciate off of. Probably no one who considers themselves a metalhead hadnt heard this song DFTR a dozen times and most everything in between, like for example most of the Iron Maiden, Motorhead, and Metallica catalog before listening to Jinjer. (And im sure anyone about to jump in with random band comments like Slayer or Cannibal Corpse understand what I mean and dont need to waste their time on what defines "standard" or "heaviest")

Honestly some of the metal I have liked a lot over the years has slowly become songs I have to "be in the mood" for and some I almost never am anymore.

The song was penned by Don Roeser who sings this track and is also the lead guitarist. He was diagnosed with a heart condition and wrote the tune as a reflection on his own mortality. It is a dark haunting, mesmerizing tune in A minor hence the melancholy overtones. The lyric regarding the 40000 is just a symbolic reference to the banality of mortality as people die in their thousands every single day. So Roeser was feeling pretty humble about the whole thing. Amazing how such things provide inspiration for what is an absolutely brilliant and highly revered rock classic. It was also their most successful song commercially.

Don’t Fear the Reaper is basically a love song that imagines there is something after death and that, once in a while, you can bridge that gap to the other side. I imagined a couple: one of them dies but is able to come back for her lover, and they go to this other place no one knows about. I sang about Romeo and Juliet as an example of a couple who have successfully gone to the other dimension, but I got a lot of grief over it because everyone thought I was promoting suicide. “Romeo and Juliet are together in eternity,” I sang, but I wasn’t suggesting that people kill themselves to find out what it’s like.

Always loved this song. You're right, people fear death because nobody knows what's next, or fear that there may be no next at all. But logically there's no reason to fear a completely natural change that literally happens to everything that lives (or exists, even). There's no particular reason it would be worse than life as we know it. Probably just different. Or no awareness at all, with our molecules repurposed for other existences. And if there is nothing, well... Then definitely nothing to worry about, in that case, is there.

When I was a kid, I thought this was a Beatles song, which is about as good as a compliment you can get.

[@tragicdeyz2641]

You ain't wrong Chad

[@timharper3390]

I can’t put my finger on which Beatles song the opening guitar intro sounds just like, to me. Or, does it sound like the guitar intro of Every Beatles song?

[@aqualung1466]

I'm not sure how you get Beatles from Buck's voice.

[@valkyrie5018]

When I was a kid I though Another One Bites the Dust was a Beatles song LMAO

[@TheDivayenta]

@@timharper3390 it sounds like if you took Daytripper and played it on a minor scale sorta.

'I've got a fever, and the only cure is MORE COWBELL!"

[@kevindowd31021]

This is a love song. Many people think it's about death but it's not. It is about transitioning. Humans have left the natural world and therefore are selfish and fear death. Death is as natural as birth and the natural world doesn't fear death. The wind, the rain, the seasons do not fear it. All things have a beginning and all things have an ending but love is forever. Love takes you from this world to the next. With love in your heart, you do not fear the reaper.
