this song is about eternal love and not fearing the inevitable, as described by the composer, not welcoming or encouraging a sooner goodbye than need be, but just living your life to its maximum fullest potential and never fearing whats to come. our future has not yet been written. never give up hope
I don't care what you think its about, for me it will ALWAYS be the intro to the ORIGINAL "The Stand" by Stephen King. Fucking brilliant! Also, these guys were great in concert.
20 years ago my cousin made me promise to play this song at his funeral, we were 12... This week he lost his battle with cancer I'll miss you like crazy cuz, I may not be able to play this at the funeral but I'll play it here at home and remember the good times, see you on the other side brother love u.....
FallingFromTheSkyy I hope you don't mind me asking, why couldn't this song be played @ your cousins Funeral? When my partner's 26 yr old son was killed in a car accident we knew that the song "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd had to be played multiple times @ his funeral! It was a favourite of his Mum's, she was diagnosed with Huntingtons disease & passed away 6mths after him, she had lost her strength to go on after her son died so tragically. So this song's meaning, for me, changes as my life's gone on......
You don't know what death is like, it could be a paradise, he could've reincarnated and will become the best person he could be, but what I do know know is that he's having an amazing time and thinking about you while listening to this song and someday you'll get to see him again, have a nice day :)
My brother in law was a big Kiss fan and when he passed away we played "Beth" at his funeral. Not a dry eye in the funeral home once that song started to play
@@aryanmia9281 no I don't mind you asking, our family is very religious and wouldn't let me play anything like this at his funeral, I had to respect that so I played it here at home over a few cold ones..
The reaper isn’t there to kill you, he’s there to accompany you, he brings you into the afterlife, it’s a scary path and you shouldn’t have to take it alone
The reaper is God wrath on the ones who dont believe in the most important verse in the Bible John 3:16 that says God sent His only begotten son down to earth to be sacrificed for all to come to know Him as our Lord and Savior to have everlasting life!
I remember playing this song on guitar hero at my dad house, and him singing alone, and he was always so happy. I love him. I don’t think I tell him enough, but that’s one of my happiest memories. All of my happiest memories include him.
Wow. I really miss guitar hero. It was literally the only video game I got my parents to play with me or to take interest in for that matter. Good memories
I realized as an adult how anything good in my life came from my dad. I learned unconditional love from him. My dad ended up with dementia and I moved in with him to care for him. I've always told him he was the best dad ever. Once I told him he had given me everything I ever needed. He looked into my eyes and said 'I wish I could have given you more!' He truly was the best!
Call your dad when you read this comment and tell him about this memory and tell him that you love him. I would love to tell my dad some happy memories and tell him I love him. Sadly, I'll need a ouija board to do that now. :( Miss him a lot.
That’s definitely something I don’t think parents hear often enough, I’ll have to call my mom and tell her how thankful I am for giving me a childhood worth reminiscing about
My husband of 50 years passed in October. He died with his head on my should. It was peaceful. I know he is waiting for me and I will not fear the Reaper. I will welcome him.

Every person’s death is a tragedy. The survival rate of humans is 0%. Eventually, all of us go on to the next world. But until then, let’s make the most of our life on this earth. And once our time has come, we’ll have no regrets and we can greet the reaper as a dear friend.
Death is an enemy, not a friend. And if you die unsaved the "next world" will be hell. 🔥 "It is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment." Hebrews 9:27.
@@q12aw50: "The soul that sinneth shall die." Ezekiel 18:4. "Fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28. We have eternal life if we choose good over evil. If we choose evil over good, we die. The wages of sin is death. Sin is breaking God's holy Law, the Ten Commandments, the rules that apply to us. Exodus 20:3-17. That's why the gospel says that Jesus will trade life's records with ours, replace our sinful life's record with His perfect one, our guilty with His NOT guilty so we can prepare ourselves for judgment, if we believe He died for our sins, then ask Him to set us free from sin. If we're not guilty, we go to heaven at the end, where alone we'll have access to eternal life. If we're guilty, we die in hell. Rev. 21:8.
I lost my dad two months ago and looking at the lyrics I really shouldn't take comfort but oddly enough I find this song so comforting.....RIP dad love you man x
I'm so sorry; I lost my own dad last June. I find comfort in this song, too. It was actually one of my dad's favorites; we shared a love of classic rock :) I also love the song's suggestion of crossing over to the afterlife and reuniting with all of the loved ones who have gone before you. ("She had no fear. She had become like they are".)
We will all have to face the reaper someday so live your life to the fullest. Everything in life is temporary both the good and the bad its all just part of living. This is truly one of the greatest songs of all time 🤘🎸

I died more times than you could believe I've been in and out of hell more times than you could believe and just as AC/DC says hell ain't such a bad place it's here that's not so good you all boring and dead
This song is genius, but the lyrics are another level of greatness. The words are so beautiful and they paint such a picture in my mind when I listen. The lyrics are both comforting and frightening to me and definitely get me to think about the long dirt nap.

damn my dad played this when I was a little kid in the back seat of ford explore with no heat in the winter not understand what the song meant as a kids going up. I lost my father not to long ago and this song was in my recommended this song will stain all of us
I have similar story but was the song Hotel California by the eagles. I was young as well and with my father too. I remember asking him what it was about. He said he thought it was pretty about much how everyone dies. But in situations where you may not even want to be a member of the living. You can not escape you never really get out, your never gone. Painfully my dad was killed a year later trying to break up a fight. 22 days before my 13th b- day. I miss him Everyday
This song was playing on the radio as I was driving through torrential rains in northern Texas. I was watching semis get swept off the road & almost got taken myself. The water/mud pushed me half off the road onto the embankment. Not sure how I recovered it but I ended up back on the road I've had a new appreciation for this song since then
Green Soul um no but since you thought u were doing something ok. Real rock fans know we don’t compare bands they’re all special in their own ways. But we don’t except you into that intellectually inclined group
For me, the most crushing part of the song is the 'background' repeat of the words "Romeo and Juliet." I think because it's sung so matter-of-fact, that I'm left with the sense that what happened to them is inevitable and not actually all that remarkable. Kind of backwards insistent underlining the rest of the song. I don't know. Shitty day for me. I yelled at a teenager (granted, she's an asshole, who needs to learn how to apply make-up if she's going to wear it).

Thanks for posting the lyrics. I’ve listened this song for many years, but never really paid attention to the lyrics. Gave me a new appreciation for the song.
Never really listened to this before but its hauntingly beautiful and strangely comforting. Reapers come to get you and help you so they really are not bad i think they help and dont actually kill you.
We are essentially born alone, live alone and die alone... Everything that is living has a beginning, a lifespan, and eventually dies. If lucky, it produces offspring. Be it a microbial, plant, insect, bird/fish/reptile, mammal/marsupial. n Nothing is exempt from this cycle. It isn't a harsh reality, simply fact. Humans fear what they do not know, and death is the greatest equalizer of all of Mankind. And it is still the greatest unknown. But why fear death? There's a difference for the deep drive to survive, at all costs, but enviable it will happen. Make peace in your mind of this truth. It is very liberating to accept that one day, you will die. And this, has nothing to do about religion or spirituality. What will be, when you die, is what it will be, and whatever you believe won't change this. As much as some believe their beliefs in the afterlife will protect them, it is not up to us. It will be what it is, and no amount of prayer and devotion will change the outcome: whatever that may be when it is that actually happens when we do die. This isn't to say, stop believing in your religion, spirituality or atheism. These beliefs reflect (hopefully) on how you treat others, the plants and animals, and the Earth itself. But that is more about How To Live, not about what will happen once you have passed away.
I love this song. It's used to supposedly scary effect in the first Halloween movie and the first The Stand mini-series. I don't think it's scary. It's sad, beautifully so. The last verse reminds of Poe's poetry.
In the first Halloween, it was simply playing on a car radio while the main character who was being driven was being stalked by Michael Myers in a station wagon
I've known, and loved, this amazing song since I was a teen in the 70s. But now, every time I hear it, I think of the opening scene of The Stand. I mean, I don't think of only The Stand, but that opening scene pops up in my mind at the beginning of the song. I remember at the time, I thought it was a perfect choice.
You said "The Stand" that was EPIC! 12 of my friends all gathered together and cramed into my friend's small living room to watch the last episode! Unfortunately, that friend died on July 4th of this year. Thank you for triggering that memory. It was a great night! ❤
Three years ago when I was fighting colon cancer - and it was a fight - I played this song daily. This and “All is God’s Creation” by David Meece. We are all born with an expiration date. If you can accept this you’ll be fine. Know that God is infinite in his wisdom and his mercy. Don’t be afraid. You’ll be fine if you remain here or go “Home.” God is Great!!
your gawd also thinks slavery is grand and recommends the price of 50 shekels when you sell your daughter to her rapist. huh. strange where you draw your "gratritude" from. YOU fought the cancer and YOU won. take the damn credit for what YOU and your medical team did
Youre hardly at risk for dying unless you are 65 and older or you have underlying health issues. Seriously the media is just filling everyone with fear porn. Id rather die then live through the United Nations Agenda 2030 they have planned for us all.
I was born in 1974 ... I was two when this came out and I honestly remember this back then and I kind of grew up with it because my mom played it often. I love this song! I am a extreme Heavy Metal person with my own band and everything, but this song will always be with me. My Mum died five years ago and I listen to this song in her memory - Great memories - Great times. Hails from Canada!
Emily Ann IKR i fucking love this song but I can't listen to the intro without about pissing myself from laughing from Will Ferrell in that damn shirt with his gut hanging out to Jimmy Fallon laughing so hysterically he couldn't even get through the skit to Christopher Walken who's just genius and never broke character once it's just classic it may be one of my favorite SNL skits definitely top five and I tend to like the older stuff original cast up to Eddie Murphy but that was just classic LMAO
Crying through this whole.song thinking of being young playing this In the kitchen talking about when we get older... Rest In Peace ... Gone but not forgotten...
I was months from being a teen as this song entered the airwaves and decades later it's still as titillating and magical as it was the first time I heard it. I think it was in summer 2012, 36 years later I finally saw BOC live at the Hard Rock Biloxi and it was a mesmerizing performance!
2 tours in Vietnam ...came back in ‘74. This was out when I was at Camp Pendleton and always smiled when I listened to the lyrics. Never feared the reaper “in country!” Semper fi
Gorgeous instrumentals, the way the lyrics flow into each other is perfect. It's not a "happy" song but I can't quit moving when I listen to it - I want to dance and it takes me back in time.

With Romeo and Juliet, the truth of it is that they were together in life but that would end, with their death, they’re together forever in whatever afterlife exists
@@piguy222 to add onto that, in Shakespearean times, Romeo was absolutely placed as a villain in his introduction. In essence, the guy was only with Juliet to get laid, not 'cause he loved her, with the last girl he tried this on being Rosaline (R+J I,I,190-195 if you're interested www.playshakespeare.com/romeo-and-juliet/scenes/act-i-scene-1 ). This, of course, ignores the massive age difference between the two as Juliet is what? 13? Romeo would be at least 17 with the age range going up to 23 as a young bachelor for the time. So yes, I concur, they're absolutely going to get sick of each other.
@@wizardsuth: My conscience, the Holy Spirit, author of the Bible, makes me think there is. Hebrews 9:27. Rev. 20. Your creator didn't give you his book to ignore.
I'm 61 and I have been listening to this song since it came out. I have a very close family member suffering from addiction. This song makes me want to cry when I here it because I know how the insanity of addiction ends. It ends with a non- threatening ghost like figure appearing with their hand outstretched . When the person takes the hand and starts to follow , the ghost like figure turns into a demon and the person can't escape it's grasp .Powerful stuff.
Man, Death gets so much hate and crap she doesn't deserve. Why throw a hissy fit about the inevitable? Live life to the fullest, and when it's time to go, go.
Tyler Phelps there has never been a culture on earth to site the spirit of death associated with their culture, as a female so I have no idea how this guy said female.
Lead singer Buck Dharma stated many years ago in an interview that he did not write this song about suicide but instead embracing the inevitability of death. But didn't Juliette commit suicide when her family wouldn't allow her to be with Romeo? And upon hearing of her death, didn't Rome take his own life as well? "Came the last night of sadness, when it was clear she couldn't go on...." That sounds like someone deciding; for whatever reason, not to continue living. I guess song lyrics are subjective. R eply
Zorian: Perhaps she was very sick and wanted to be released from her body, but was afraid to, and didn't want to leave him alone. Maybe he loved her so much that he was going to go through the Door with her, lead her through, to ease her fears, help her find freedom. Because of him, she could finally be freed from her suffering and wouldn't have to go through the Door alone. Their Spirits, as One, would always be together. Just a thought...
Juliet faked her death to get out of marrying her cousin. Someone was supposed to tell Romeo, but didn't reach him in time. When Romeo saw her, he believed she actually was dead, so he killed himself. When the drug wore off, Juliet came to and saw Romeo dead, so she used his dagger to kill herself for real. On a lighter note, I think the song needs a little more cowbell.
@Zorian ... I agree with you in part. I believe suicide is one of the themes of this song ... maybe BD was afraid of law suits from families who lost teen sons and daughters from suicide ... there was a rash of them in the `70 and `80's ... anyway ... it is a beautiful once in a lifetime song that never gets old ... timeless !!!
No doubt one of the top 10 most underrated bands iconic songs like this amazing musicians. Imagine their success if they came in this era of music? Can you say domination
I've never been a massive fan of this one too much, all of a sudden I'm pushing patients round the hospital where I work singing it quietly, some have said " oh I really like that tune" dunno if the get the symbolism. It is a tune
First time I ever heard this song I was watching my fave movie of all time, “Halloween”. I didn’t realize the meaning of it then. Micheal Myers is following his victims as “Don’t Fear The Reaper” plays on the radio. I have loved this song ever since.
My dad wants me to sing this at his funeral. I've got the lyrics down but I know the guitar solo will be a piece of work. I honestly might do the bass and hire someone to play the lead.
If u want I will try to play the bass I mean I have an electric guitar but I might need to know what place the funeral will be at IDK if the funeral passed but I'm just telling. :/
+Taiga Aisaka What a fab idea. It's a great idea to have this playing as you're heading towards the curtains. I kinda sticks two fingers up doesn't it?!
+Federico Sicairos It is amazing to see kind people like you around. I am a complete stranger to you and Holo, but I still wanted to thank you. It made my day! :)
The reaper is just a figure to take you when you die as a spiritual entity so you don't go alone !! Your love will be waiting there for you to join him for eternity !! The 70 's brought out some great artist / music back then loved the 70's and so many great songs and bands nothing like today !! The 70's were a great era !!
I long time ago while I was with a long term relationship I fell in love with my partners friend. He'd always put his fiends before me and they'd be in our house all the time. I was deeply in love with him for and few years and he was perfect for me. He made it very clear he also felt the same way about me but we never do anything about it or tell each other. He kept telling me how much he loves this song even though he was more into mod music than rock. Was he trying to tell me something?
Every part of this song is art. The storyline, the lyrics, the arrangement, the sublime vocal harmony parts, not to mention the songwriting in general, everything about this song screams of epic artistic achievement. That is really what is missing in much of today's music and musicians. It's "art" for the sake of profiting the "artist" and labels instead of art for the sake of art.
So I asked my deceased mom for a message that she was there and I got this weird feeling to put youtube on shuffle play and this song came up and a few other songs that my mom liked and was sending me messages through including the entire soundtrack of guardians of the galaxy which is all symbolic physically as a gift of the mix-tape from Peter quills mom to him but also symbolizes a healing from generational trauma and wow the message was a powerful one thanks mom
@@brianalexander1755 The day you hear this blaring out in the middle of the ocean, party on a small yacht, cranking out all of my favorite classic rock songs, popping Dom Perignon, Tecate, Tequila, you name it... Come on board and join the celebration! (My songs will be playing too!) I'm a songwriter and play 12-string... at least until that day! Hahaha! :-D
My dad showed me an old movie with this song and it always reminds me of him. Both of my parents passed away for different reasons. This song just reminds me of them a little extra.
This is a really great song when I first heard it as a teenager, it seemed morose-one of those cliché heavy metal songs that glorifies skeletons and other trappings of the macabre. But it strikes you that way because our society is obsessed with our FEAR of death. Are there some things that transcend death? The song suggest that there are, and because the suggestion is irrefutable, it simultaneously gives.
this song is about eternal love and not fearing the inevitable, as described by the composer, not welcoming or encouraging a sooner goodbye than need be, but just living your life to its maximum fullest potential and never fearing whats to come. our future has not yet been written. never give up hope
It's actually about suicide
@@greyfinch2565 you see that's where your wrong
@@greyfinch2565 no it’s not dude from the band said it’s not about suicide already
I don't care what you think its about, for me it will ALWAYS be the intro to the ORIGINAL "The Stand" by Stephen King. Fucking brilliant! Also, these guys were great in concert.
@@tammylandis5979, his books suck.

20 years ago my cousin made me promise to play this song at his funeral, we were 12... This week he lost his battle with cancer I'll miss you like crazy cuz, I may not be able to play this at the funeral but I'll play it here at home and remember the good times, see you on the other side brother love u.....
FallingFromTheSkyy I hope you don't mind me asking, why couldn't this song be played @ your cousins Funeral? When my partner's 26 yr old son was killed in a car accident we knew that the song "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd had to be played multiple times @ his funeral! It was a favourite of his Mum's, she was diagnosed with Huntingtons disease & passed away 6mths after him, she had lost her strength to go on after her son died so tragically. So this song's meaning, for me, changes as my life's gone on......
You better had fucking played this at his funeral dude
You don't know what death is like, it could be a paradise, he could've reincarnated and will become the best person he could be, but what I do know know is that he's having an amazing time and thinking about you while listening to this song and someday you'll get to see him again, have a nice day :)
My brother in law was a big Kiss fan and when he passed away we played "Beth" at his funeral. Not a dry eye in the funeral home once that song started to play
@@aryanmia9281 no I don't mind you asking, our family is very religious and wouldn't let me play anything like this at his funeral, I had to respect that so I played it here at home over a few cold ones..
one of the most beautifully dark songs ever written.
brian gill completely agree
Not dark, honest confrontation of mortality.
brian gill its so dark but good awsome keep calm and listen dont fell the reaper
It is a bit dark if you listen to the lyrics. It's a bit sad too. But it's still good!
Reminds me of Milk It by Nirvana

The only prescription is more cowbell
Oof sorry bad internet at the hospital
The reaper isn’t there to kill you, he’s there to accompany you, he brings you into the afterlife, it’s a scary path and you shouldn’t have to take it alone
Great input definitely changes my thoughts on how it woukd really be
Changes how I look at it too.. thank you.
The reaper is God wrath on the ones who dont believe in the most important verse in the Bible John 3:16 that says God sent His only begotten son down to earth to be sacrificed for all to come to know Him as our Lord and Savior to have everlasting life!

I remember playing this song on guitar hero at my dad house, and him singing alone, and he was always so happy. I love him. I don’t think I tell him enough, but that’s one of my happiest memories. All of my happiest memories include him.
Wow. I really miss guitar hero. It was literally the only video game I got my parents to play with me or to take interest in for that matter. Good memories
I realized as an adult how anything good in my life came from my dad. I learned unconditional love from him. My dad ended up with dementia and I moved in with him to care for him. I've always told him he was the best dad ever. Once I told him he had given me everything I ever needed. He looked into my eyes and said 'I wish I could have given you more!' He truly was the best!
Call your dad when you read this comment and tell him about this memory and tell him that you love him. I would love to tell my dad some happy memories and tell him I love him. Sadly, I'll need a ouija board to do that now. :( Miss him a lot.
Ouiji board?
That’s definitely something I don’t think parents hear often enough, I’ll have to call my mom and tell her how thankful I am for giving me a childhood worth reminiscing about
Whenever I get anxiety or have fear of any outcome I play this in my head and it completely takes away my fear of “what if”
I’m guessing you’re alone?
Please stay safe....
My husband of 50 years passed in October. He died with his head on my should. It was peaceful. I know he is waiting for me and I will not fear the Reaper. I will welcome him.
Same bro, same....
Same, I was sick all of last week. Thought I was going to die...

Every person’s death is a tragedy.
The survival rate of humans is 0%.
Eventually, all of us go on to the next world.
But until then, let’s make the most of our life on this earth.
And once our time has come, we’ll have no regrets and we can greet the reaper as a dear friend.
Death is an enemy, not a friend. And if you die unsaved the "next world" will be hell. 🔥 "It is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment." Hebrews 9:27.
Technically everybody is immortal until proven otherwise
@@q12aw50: "The soul that sinneth shall die." Ezekiel 18:4. "Fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28. We have eternal life if we choose good over evil. If we choose evil over good, we die. The wages of sin is death. Sin is breaking God's holy Law, the Ten Commandments, the rules that apply to us. Exodus 20:3-17. That's why the gospel says that Jesus will trade life's records with ours, replace our sinful life's record with His perfect one, our guilty with His NOT guilty so we can prepare ourselves for judgment, if we believe He died for our sins, then ask Him to set us free from sin. If we're not guilty, we go to heaven at the end, where alone we'll have access to eternal life. If we're guilty, we die in hell. Rev. 21:8.

"Summer of Love" by Blue Oyster Cult is another good song you may not have heard.
The loop baby!!!
Luckily I have a lot of classic rock on the phone, but if I ever have to turn on the radio that's the only station I listen to!
This song is genius, but the lyrics are another level of greatness. The words are so beautiful and they paint such a picture in my mind when I listen. The lyrics are both comforting and frightening to me and definitely get me to think about the long dirt nap.

Is everyone too focused on the cowbell to appreciate the kickass guitar solo?
Love this song and i agree the guitar solo is amazing !!! ❤😍

What Cowbell? I don't hear no stinkin Cowbell! I love how no one ever mentions the "Bruce Dickinson" reference!
I don't even get the joke.
Most are
damn my dad played this when I was a little kid in the back seat of ford explore with no heat in the winter not understand what the song meant as a kids going up. I lost my father not to long ago and this song was in my recommended this song will stain all of us
Officially Stained! Still brings feelings. But strangely still love this song
This song will stain all of us
Damn you really had to send chills down my spine with that one huh
It will stain all of us. My great grandma passed away last year. Then my mom started playing it on our bluetooth speaker
I heard this song on the radio as a kid and instantly loved it. Hits even harder now than it did then.
I have similar story but was the song Hotel California by the eagles. I was young as well and with my father too. I remember asking him what it was about. He said he thought it was pretty about much how everyone dies. But in situations where you may not even want to be a member of the living. You can not escape you never really get out, your never gone. Painfully my dad was killed a year later trying to break up a fight. 22 days before my 13th b- day. I miss him Everyday
This song was playing on the radio as I was driving through torrential rains in northern Texas. I was watching semis get swept off the road & almost got taken myself. The water/mud pushed me half off the road onto the embankment. Not sure how I recovered it but I ended up back on the road
I've had a new appreciation for this song since then
That is fucking amazing I’m glad youre safe !
Good thing everything has ended well. Best wishes from Poland, and have a nice day :)

The Romeo and Juliet part gets to me every time
For me, the most crushing part of the song is the 'background' repeat of the words "Romeo and Juliet." I think because it's sung so matter-of-fact, that I'm left with the sense that what happened to them is inevitable and not actually all that remarkable. Kind of backwards insistent underlining the rest of the song. I don't know. Shitty day for me. I yelled at a teenager (granted, she's an asshole, who needs to learn how to apply make-up if she's going to wear it).
@@heddalee damn bro lol

Been 50 years for some of us & still remains in top 5 fav songs..
One of the best songs I have ever heard.The music is so uplifting.And sets my spirits free.
I saw them when I was a kid with my mother. it was a strange fuzzy experience I'm glad I got to have.
"What's that smell, Mommy?" Why are those people talking to the air?
Was it cool
Romeo and Juliet, are together in eternity.

Thanks for posting the lyrics. I’ve listened this song for many years, but never really paid attention to the lyrics. Gave me a new appreciation for the song.
Never really listened to this before but its hauntingly beautiful and strangely comforting. Reapers come to get you and help you so they really are not bad i think they help and dont actually kill you.
Could use a little more cowbell
Then what's with that sharp scythe they carry?
They help you pass over.
We are essentially born alone, live alone and die alone...
Everything that is living has a beginning, a lifespan, and eventually dies. If lucky, it produces offspring.
Be it a microbial, plant, insect, bird/fish/reptile, mammal/marsupial. n
Nothing is exempt from this cycle.
It isn't a harsh reality, simply fact.
Humans fear what they do not know, and death is the greatest equalizer of all of Mankind. And it is still the greatest unknown.
But why fear death? There's a difference for the deep drive to survive, at all costs, but enviable it will happen.
Make peace in your mind of this truth. It is very liberating to accept that one day, you will die.
And this, has nothing to do about religion or spirituality.
What will be, when you die, is what it will be, and whatever you believe won't change this.
As much as some believe their beliefs in the afterlife will protect them, it is not up to us.
It will be what it is, and no amount of prayer and devotion will change the outcome: whatever that may be when it is that actually happens when we do die.
This isn't to say, stop believing in your religion, spirituality or atheism. These beliefs reflect (hopefully) on how you treat others, the plants and animals, and the Earth itself.
But that is more about How To Live, not about what will happen once you have passed away.
I love this song. It's used to supposedly scary effect in the first Halloween movie and the first The Stand mini-series. I don't think it's scary. It's sad, beautifully so. The last verse reminds of Poe's poetry.
In the first Halloween, it was simply playing on a car radio while the main character who was being driven was being stalked by Michael Myers in a station wagon
I've known, and loved, this amazing song since I was a teen in the 70s. But now, every time I hear it, I think of the opening scene of The Stand. I mean, I don't think of only The Stand, but that opening scene pops up in my mind at the beginning of the song. I remember at the time, I thought it was a perfect choice.
@@pannalover326That’s what I thought. The scene in the stand didn’t seem quite as scary with this song playing. More just showing us the inevitable.
You said "The Stand" that was EPIC! 12 of my friends all gathered together and cramed into my friend's small living room to watch the last episode! Unfortunately, that friend died on July 4th of this year. Thank you for triggering that memory. It was a great night! ❤
Three years ago when I was fighting colon cancer - and it was a fight - I played this song daily. This and “All is God’s Creation” by David Meece.
We are all born with an expiration date. If you can accept this you’ll be fine. Know that God is infinite in his wisdom and his mercy.
Don’t be afraid. You’ll be fine if you remain here or go “Home.”
God is Great!!
AllahuAkbar!

your gawd also thinks slavery is grand and recommends the price of 50 shekels when you sell your daughter to her rapist. huh. strange where you draw your "gratritude" from. YOU fought the cancer and YOU won. take the damn credit for what YOU and your medical team did
John Carpenter is a genius for putting a bit of this in the OG Halloween, as it pretty much tells how much of a force of nature Michael Myers is

I was months from being a teen as this song entered the airwaves and decades later it's still as titillating and magical as it was the first time I heard it. I think it was in summer 2012, 36 years later I finally saw BOC live at the Hard Rock Biloxi and it was a mesmerizing performance!

With Romeo and Juliet, the truth of it is that they were together in life but that would end, with their death, they’re together forever in whatever afterlife exists
Lets be honest, they knew each other for like a week and I think theyd get pretty fucking sick of eachother after a literal eternity together.
@@piguy222 to add onto that, in Shakespearean times, Romeo was absolutely placed as a villain in his introduction. In essence, the guy was only with Juliet to get laid, not 'cause he loved her, with the last girl he tried this on being Rosaline (R+J I,I,190-195 if you're interested www.playshakespeare.com/romeo-and-juliet/scenes/act-i-scene-1 ). This, of course, ignores the massive age difference between the two as Juliet is what? 13? Romeo would be at least 17 with the age range going up to 23 as a young bachelor for the time. So yes, I concur, they're absolutely going to get sick of each other.
The truth is they were fictional characters.
What makes you think there's an afterlife?

When the person takes the hand and starts to follow , the ghost like figure turns into a demon and the person can't escape it's grasp .Powerful stuff.
There are people who have beat addiction, though far too few!
I lost my soulmate 10 years gone by and when I listen to this a part of me cannot wait to die to see her again...
Donald Davis II Sorry for your loss brother.
Appreciate that brother.
Donald Davis II sorry for your loss
This break my heart
Fuck yeah... She'll be there. I promise she will be.
Masterful piece of writing and an absolutely haunting guitar solo. This is music.
Man, Death gets so much hate and crap she doesn't deserve. Why throw a hissy fit about the inevitable? Live life to the fullest, and when it's time to go, go.
Because many people are afraid of the unknown.
Happy Halloween 2017 *One Nerd95*
Did you just assume Deaths gender?
PaddyOClarity any man who has ever known the wedding feast knows that death is female.
Tyler Phelps there has never been a culture on earth to site the spirit of death associated with their culture, as a female so I have no idea how this guy said female.
the door was open and the wind appeared..
the candles blew and then disappeared..
the curtains flew and then He appeared
Never could figure out how the wind "appeared."
Must be that poetical license they talk about...
Lead singer Buck Dharma stated many years ago in an interview that he did not write this song about suicide but instead embracing the inevitability of death. But didn't Juliette commit suicide when her family wouldn't allow her to be with Romeo? And upon hearing of her death, didn't Rome take his own life as well? "Came the last night of sadness, when it was clear she couldn't go on...." That sounds like someone deciding; for whatever reason, not to continue living. I guess song lyrics are subjective.

eply
yes i was questioning that too the ending sounds very much like suicide
Zorian: Perhaps she was very sick and wanted to be released from her body, but was afraid to, and didn't want to leave him alone.
Maybe he loved her so much that he was going to go through the Door with her, lead her through, to ease her fears, help her find freedom.
Because of him, she could finally be freed from her suffering and wouldn't have to go through the Door alone.
Their Spirits, as One, would always be together.
Just a thought...
Juliet faked her death to get out of marrying her cousin. Someone was supposed to tell Romeo, but didn't reach him in time. When Romeo saw her, he believed she actually was dead, so he killed himself. When the drug wore off, Juliet came to and saw Romeo dead, so she used his dagger to kill herself for real.
On a lighter note, I think the song needs a little more cowbell.
Your absolutely correct.
@Zorian ... I agree with you in part. I believe suicide is one of the themes of this song ... maybe BD was afraid of law suits from families who lost teen sons and daughters from suicide ... there was a rash of them in the `70 and `80's ... anyway ... it is a beautiful once in a lifetime song that never gets old ... timeless !!!
No doubt one of the top 10 most underrated bands iconic songs like this amazing musicians. Imagine their success if they came in this era of music? Can you say domination
One of the greatest of all time!!! That string solo. Sick!!!!
You don't fear the Reaper, you fear the IRS.
You may fear the irs, but the irs definitely fear the Reaper.
....taxes, penalties, interest, and just cause we said so, even if ya die, we got 1st. dibs on the Estate.
Coronavirus and The Stand movie brought me here, but I bought this song years ago. It's on my iPod in my car.
Track #1 on my "End Times Soundtrack" 😉
I've never been a massive fan of this one too much, all of a sudden I'm pushing patients round the hospital where I work singing it quietly, some have said " oh I really like that tune" dunno if the get the symbolism. It is a tune
@@ProfWeirdBeard has that soundtrack got The End on by The Doors
Saten brought me here
Totally came here for those two reasons
This song has a great spiritual message.
The music is awesome. That is what got me to love it.
Combined, the lyrics and music are a masterpiece.
Now this is real better music then now to be honest, thank you dad for inspiring me to listen to old music when I was way younger ✨
First time I ever heard this song I was watching my fave movie of all time, “Halloween”. I didn’t realize the meaning of it then. Micheal Myers is following his victims as “Don’t Fear The Reaper” plays on the radio. I have loved this song ever since.
The chill going down my spine after the second chorus when the tone changes… it feels like Death is right behind me. Every time.
RIP Robin. We were dear friends and she died with cancer. Back in the day we partied to this song so much. Miss her so. 😢
My dad wants me to sing this at his funeral. I've got the lyrics down but I know the guitar solo will be a piece of work. I honestly might do the bass and hire someone to play the lead.
If u want I will try to play the bass I mean I have an electric guitar but I might need to know what place the funeral will be at IDK if the funeral passed but I'm just telling. :/
+Taiga Aisaka What a fab idea. It's a great idea to have this playing as you're heading towards the curtains. I kinda sticks two fingers up doesn't it?!
+Federico Sicairos It is amazing to see kind people like you around. I am a complete stranger to you and Holo, but I still wanted to thank you. It made my day! :)
Three notes rinse repeat.
Taiga Aisaka got u
The reaper is just a figure to take you when you die as a spiritual entity so you don't go alone !! Your love will be waiting there for you to join him for eternity !! The 70 's brought out some great artist / music back then loved the 70's and so many great songs and bands nothing like today !! The 70's were a great era !!
i love 70s music! today’s music is just nonsense
I long time ago while I was with a long term relationship I fell in love with my partners friend.
He'd always put his fiends before me and they'd be in our house all the time.
I was deeply in love with him for and few years and he was perfect for me. He made it very clear he also felt the same way about me but we never do anything about it or tell each other.
He kept telling me how much he loves this song even though he was more into mod music than rock.
Was he trying to tell me something?
Yeah, read Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10.
I agree that there's nothing like the MUSIC of the 1970's!
The eerie Guitar Makes me feel the Pain of My Husband Johnny, for I will be joining him in Eternity.
One of my favorites. This song gets you high just by listening to it. It's Soo relaxing.
im not afraid to die im afraid to grow old and watch my loved ones die
Me too, I can’t imagine a world without my parents being alive
Maybe you should be afraid to die unsaved. 🔥 targer.ca
I lost 4 people in my family
😥
Yeah, It's terrible. Little by little, you own history dies as you lose everybody you ever knew.
I only wish they still put out quality content like this nowadays.
Dragonborn meme. Review.
Every part of this song is art. The storyline, the lyrics, the arrangement, the sublime vocal harmony parts, not to mention the songwriting in general, everything about this song screams of epic artistic achievement. That is really what is missing in much of today's music and musicians. It's "art" for the sake of profiting the "artist" and labels instead of art for the sake of art.
Howzarion 01 begone zoomer. Go listen to your shitty rap crap.
Yes
I cant speak for rock cause im not heavy into it but as for rap, the real shits underground
I'm afraid of being a coward when the reaper comes
I'll embrace him
I'd say..... where you been all my life ?
Edgy comments are edgy.
DONT FEAR THE REAPER!
The Reaper is not death, it simply follows it, taking people to the other side, and protecting them from harm with the scythe the Reaper carries.
As I've gotten older I've got such a better appreciation from this song a true classic for sure
Then they started to fly.... love this 👍
"Always so rude, that one."
You never know she could still be alive robbing banks lol I love Rosa
I heard this somewhere,don't remember where tho...
Orange is the new black when Rosa is in the van I love that part I hope she is still alive robbing banks haha
The best!❤
I just watched that
I've always found this song to be poignant and comforting.
Same
Its kinda meant to be.
So I asked my deceased mom for a message that she was there and I got this weird feeling to put youtube on shuffle play and this song came up and a few other songs that my mom liked and was sending me messages through including the entire soundtrack of guardians of the galaxy which is all symbolic physically as a gift of the mix-tape from Peter quills mom to him but also symbolizes a healing from generational trauma and wow the message was a powerful one thanks mom
This is getting played at my funeral
I will have it played at my wedding.
me to.
Me too! I decided that when I heard this the first time. I'm not telling my age! Lol! Mu favorite BOC song. :-)
When? I’ll swing by
@@brianalexander1755 The day you hear this blaring out in the middle of the ocean, party on a small yacht, cranking out all of my favorite classic rock songs, popping Dom Perignon, Tecate, Tequila, you name it... Come on board and join the celebration! (My songs will be playing too!) I'm a songwriter and play 12-string... at least until that day! Hahaha! :-D
My favorite Autumn song. Perfect for Halloween.
Oldie but a goodie
*Goldie
Last song my uncle listed to before passing away last night... I'll miss you Jimmy
1956-2022
Rip
Sorry for your loss❤️ sending you hugs.
My dad showed me an old movie with this song and it always reminds me of him. Both of my parents passed away for different reasons. This song just reminds me of them a little extra.
It's rare. I feel something new every time I hear this song. It hits hard. They casually wrote the perfect song
This is a really great song when I first heard it as a teenager, it seemed morose-one of those cliché heavy metal songs that glorifies skeletons and other trappings of the macabre.
But it strikes you that way because our society is obsessed with our FEAR of death.
Are there some things that transcend death? The song suggest that there are, and because the suggestion is irrefutable, it simultaneously gives.
Returnal brought me back here.
What a game !
Seems like a solid doomsday song that we can all appreciate during these COVID19 times...
yup, but still has a good message
@@kenisfree8410 absolutely!!!
I think of The Stand...Stephen King
Covid 19 isn't that big of a problem the media is way over shooting it
1-2% death rate is hardly a doomsday scenario.
Got this one on REPEAT till the end of the Quarantine...
This is one of my most beautiful songs ever written.
my fav song off all bands i can hear this anytime and
\ over and over never gets old been listing to this song since the 70s
