    Reading up on the meaning...Written by guitarist Donald Roeser. Roeser says, “I was thinking about my own mortality. I wrote the guitar riff, the first two lines of lyric sprung into my head, then the rest of it came as I formed a story about a love affair that transcends death. I was thinking about my wife, and that maybe we’d get together after I was gone.” ‘Valentine’ is a metaphor for mortal love. The “40,000” number was pulled from the air as a guess about how many people died every day worldwide, not how many people committed suicide.”

    • @xrusted
      @xrusted 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@reverbscherzo7850 It's a good word, but perception would say the ears are the catalyst of the music affecting the human. If you really think about it, the entire body mind and soul wouldn't react if it were not for the ears taking in the sound in the first place. If someone with no sense of hearing was around music, the only thing they would perceive would be the bass reverberating through their body. No more to the music for them than the mediocre bumping from the speakers. It's like someone without eyes trying to be affected by an oil painting.
      Plus "eargasm" can include all manner of audio that affects the body mind and soul, not just music -- could be anything taken in through the ears: music, spoken word, sound effects, experimental sounds, laughter, etc etc.
      "Musicgasm", as wonderful a word as it is, it pretty much excludes all other audio except music. The deep tones of Sam Elliot's voice, for instance, could be an eargasm to a lady. His voice isn't music and for her in that moment htere is no "musicgasm" , but I could argue that his voice is music to her ears? Hanna Barbara sound effects could be an eargasm to a vintage cartoon afficionado.
      The sweet mellow sounds of the countryside , though not music or a "musicgasm", could be an eargasm to someone who's fighting to get out of the big city. The sound of a computer booting up, though just simple beeps and not music or a musicgasm, could be an eargasm to a computer programmer. See, it's all about inclusion with an umbrella term that encompasses all forms of audio. True, one could postulate that one could use a specific term if indeed music gave them a musicgasm, although "eargasm" has less syllables, and sounds almost like the word "orgasm", an outsider hearing the terms "musicgasm" and "eargasm" might logically pickup on "eargasm" before "musicgasm" simply because it's a bit more streamlined of a word mashup.
      Also "eargasm" sounds funny lol just sayin' . Cheers and much respect.

    This is my favorite song of all time! Great reaction! The singer isn't the Reaper though? The singer is singing to his girl "baby I'm your man," telling her not to fear bodily death (the Grim Reaper or Angel of Death). They will be released from this mortal coil, and their spirits/souls will soar in the "heavens" for Eternity, like Romeo + Juliet and 40,000 men + women who die physically every day. Our souls are eternal, we should embrace physical death because it frees us from this material world, frees us from Time, physical pain, etc. is what he's saying.

    @RADAR1017 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Always love your reactions when the song permeates your soul. Don’t Fear the Reaper is definitely one of these. By the way, This was written by guitarist Donald Roeser, it coupled the group’s mysticism with a beautiful melody, lush harmonies and one of the coolest guitar riffs of the ‘70s. Of the song’s beginnings, Roeser says, “I was thinking about my own mortality. I wrote the guitar riff, the first two lines of lyric sprung into my head, then the rest of it came as I formed a story about a love affair that transcends death. I was thinking about my wife, and that maybe we’d get together after I was gone.”
    Nothing boosts a song’s popularity like a little controversy, and there was plenty surrounding “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper.” Roeser said in 1998, “The second verse is the one that’s caused all the trouble all these years. ‘Valentine’ is a metaphor for mortal love. ‘Romeo and Juliet’ I used as an example of a couple who had faith to take their love elsewhere when they weren’t permitted the freedom to love here and now. What I meant was, they’re in eternity cause they had the faith to believe in the possibility. It frankly never occurred to me that the suicide aspect of their story would be plugged in to people’s take on ‘Reaper,’ making it an advertisement for suicide. The “40,000” number was pulled from the air as a guess about how many people died every day worldwide, not how many people committed suicide.”
