- 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
La, la la, la la
La, la la, la la
Valentine is done
Here, but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity
(Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women every day
(Like Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women every day
(Redefine happiness)
Another 40,000 coming every day
(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
La, la la, la la
La, la la, la la
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, and then disappeared
The curtains flew, and 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 goodbye
(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)

I am 72 and still love this song....one of my old favorites. 💙
Today I turned 60 and I still love my music. Stuff I listened to growing up ❤
Am in good company then, am right behind you at 65 and still dancing. ❤🔥
I am 62 and love this song. My friend is 69 and he loves it. He went to their concert on Long island NY a few years ago.
69 here...
I'm almost 60. Saw them in Portland, OR. 😊
Close your eyes and just listen to the words and let the music take you to another place and time. I am 65 and this is what it does to me. Can't remember when I first heard it but anytime it plays I listen intently. Play on BOC play on...
Right? It's awesome
Hey, I am 63 and have a very weak heart that can stop in every moment. He sings we should not fear the reaper, so why do we? One of the last pictures was the woman being together with the sceleton whose face turned to Romeo‘s. If death is so beautiful, I am really not afraid. Let me give an good advise to everyone who reads this: DO NOT SMOKE!!!😊
@@Rosa.Luxemburg Thank You. God Bless.
Good Idea. Perhaps will do that on my tenth play, the artistry is beautiful to watch.
Am 54 and closing eyes and listening is so true.
I was 16 back in 1979. Im 62 now, Thank God i listened to my instinct.
I was 14 still love this song
Me too, same age.
@Cherrybee61 you're 62 so am I.
@@ThomasFritz-bu8jj good vintage that year wasn't it???
I am 61 now and i LOVE this song :)
Fantastic band. Takes me back to better times. Certainly musically. ❤
I'm 60 years old and I still love it❤
🕯
This song played on the radio on the way home from my dad's funeral I couldn't thank the cosmos more for such a fitting song
Sorry for your loss 🎉
I’m very sorry for your loss. Music can be such a great healer.
I immediately think of " More Cowbell" 😁😁👍
I put my pants on the same as everyone else...
Except, once my pants are on, I make Gold records !
Brings back Great Memories ❣️
This is the only song I ever played in a band where we decided after playing it the first time we weren't going to try again. Yes, I was the only guitarist.
Brilliant thanks my brother Craig killed at 23 Puerto Banus Málaga was his favourite I love it and it's my memory of him thanks again
If you told me in ‘79 that I’d be listening to this at 63…well you know the rest. God bless you all and never fear the reaper!
Thank you kindly for the post.
Don't feel so bad I'm 75 and still listen to Chuck Berry.
I turned 63 last May and this song still manages to stir up the beautiful bitter-sweet emotion as when I first heard it back in the day.....but now after all these years I can better appreciate why...
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😮😮😊😊😊❤❤🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊❤
AT 76 this is still in my top ten fav songs of all time, Light My Fire is my #1
Great song a blast from the past!☠️☠️☠️☠️
This band was elite. 2024 and listening Sheila Cawthon
Me too!
@@sheilacawthon7116 Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!
what other song is immediately recognizable with only one note than this CLASSIC ?
I used to listen to Blue Oyster Cult a lot “back when “”. GREAT Artwork.
Thank you. 👍
Takes me back to a great place, but also makes me feel old.....don't fear the reaper.
You're right we shouldn't fear the reapers for they are just guides to the next step in our journeys
@@KynaSwails Proceed forward. 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Such a great song, and the video is outstanding! This song always makes me think of Steven Kings "The Stand"
Such a great song, great music.
"Она меня за муки полюбила, а я её за состраданье к ним". Хорошая композиция. Видео как всегда на высоте👏
I'm am older have had strokes I no longer fear the reaper just another journey in time
lead us on brother
Wishing you the very best of health as you listen to great music on this journey.
I'm 70yrs still listening ❤❤❤
Great song in 1978, the graphics in this fit it perfectly!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Generic AI generated.
@@nealgrimes4382 I think a few of the pics were AI. I get all my artwork from Pinterest and they don’t ever really say if it’s made by AI or the person posting it. I’ve gotten pretty good at spotting AI. Definitely has flaws. If I can spot/tell that it’s AI, I won’t use it. It annoys me. A year ago. All of the art was made by humans on computers. Now it’s the other way around.
Love this song I was 17 years old in the Navy when I first heard it❤
It is great to see the comments of all you old timers at are my age. I feel the same way Killer band!
Powerfull Video!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im 71still Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!!!! Waiting to go to the Great Gig in The Sky!!!!!
I am 66 and used to play this on an old tape player in my old ford escort van,life was so simple then ,the joys of being brought up in Northumberland England
Right on brother!
Life and Death. 2 great judges living in harmony side by side.
Been liking the song for a long time. I just got to say the art in this one is amazing. The young couple trying to “love” each other while being held back or apart!….so many different ways that image speaks. Anyway thanks liked
Thank you 🙏🏻
Always liked this song. I didn't understand it until I lost someone I dearly loved
This wonderful song takes me back to when i was in my 20's, and i still crank the volume when i ever hear this... thank you for sharing your video. Take care.
Years ago, I watched a 1934 movie on TV that made a big impression on me as a kid, called "Death Takes a Holiday," despite the fact it was an "oldie." When this song came out in the 1970s, I immediately thought of that movie. Find it if you can. You'll understand the connection.
Absolutely magnificent! Beautiful art! Fantastic song!☘️
Thank you 🙏🏻
I have seen these guys live twice, once in Manchester and then in Leeds. Superb.
first timei i heard this was watching steven kings the stand and it really got me.I felt the end of the world just in minutes und this was just the start of the movie wow!
We walk with the reaper every day
Whoever made this video I give a hat tip to. This is the most badass video I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of them
Thank you so much!
love this...67 and having loved and been loved...no fear
love the visiual art, completely Out of this World! Perfectely matches the song.
Completely agree, fits song beautifully.
I want this played on continuous repeat at my wake.
When its time for me to pass on would love to have this song playing.
No one escapes this plain alive,✌🏽
Enjoy everyday as if it's your last🤙
Maybe this world is death and the other side true life....
He's doing his job ❤
Beautiful! Reminds me a bit of Dragonlance.
THE STAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG @1:06 those BLADES are GORGEOUS !!!!!!!!!!!
read the book, then the movie, have no fear
Amazing song!!👏👏😍
BOC are an amazing band, one of my fave ever. Thank you for wonderful images in your great video ✨✨
Thank you!
Best video ever for one of my favourite BOC songs.
Thank you 🙏🏻
One of my all time favorites.
Great video for a great song from my favorite band.🤘👍
Thank you!
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ awesome song and an awesome job with the video Mr Wraith. Thank you for all the hard work you do ✌️🇺🇲
Thanks, you too!
Great band
Excellent live
Saw them at the Jockey Club in Hamilton
More cowbell!!! 😂😂😂
Needs more cowbell
Haha
😂😂😂
Ok, Here’s some more…🐄🔔
One of BOCs best for sure!
Adore this song. Must check out one of their albums. Great visuals!
Ok... Just had to say, that was a nice job putting this video together with the amazing art work. Whoever did it needs to go have a beer on me.
Right on! Thank you Mark!
😅 that's good 💯😊 great service 👍. sounds great.
Saw them perform in a bar in Tucson decades ago.
"Soft White Underbelly"? Saw them in Central NY.@ a bar, Lost Horizon, Syracuse , NY
Never big in Europa, was i playd much in the U.S.A but not in Europa. Stream this band on Spotify. Also in my car a Audi RS6 with a B&O hifi set. GREAT.
Awesome 👍🏻
They were considered like a copy of Black Sabbath. It's not true.
@@claudebuysse7482 I agree with you. Very much their own style and sound.
El legado de esta banda( hoy un poco olvidada) para mí, está a la altura de la de otras grandes formaciones( Sabbath, Purple, Free ...) grandes BOC.
Totally agree
Needs more cowbell.
I am 70. Body is broken and am alone. My welcome mat has been put out.
You are alone...because you want to. There are people..the few..the great ones..souls..in still search for a sweep away that mat and enjoy the real word of welcoming to a home!? Bye
NOT@@cecilialeon6588
Is anybody truly alone ?
Solo no amigo💪
YES llydiaz
This is a beautiful video. Nice work.
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@wraithsong24-7 you're very welcome. I shared your song on my Facebook page.
Another classic 👌 🙌 😎 blue oyster cult 💙 👌
This is beautifully done ❤
Thank you!
75, retired, I don’t fear the reaper, I welcome him.
Yes
79 housebound, the sooner I meet him the better ✌️
Timeless classic! Love the video too.
une petite merveille
@Wraithsong I'm stunned 😮 We must've been to the same concerts, had the same lps, then cassettes (some of my friends had 8-Tracks 😂), and finally CD's 👊 You are completely brilliant, with the artistry you incorporate !! I'm going to tell all my friends on here (and elsewhere) about your work 🤘 Sending them 1 of your video's, and starting my own folder of your work. I used to front my own bar band's (at 16 when not old enough to be in yet 😅}, and sang many of these I'll bet 500+ time's or more 😊 Please keep it up 🎤🎸🎹🥁🔥🤘🎩(my signature hat anymore 😂} ✌
I'm late 60's been a lot of places 30 years more in Las Vegas it was fun
Was die Musik angeht, die ist genial 👍👍👍 aber dieser Video dazu ist optimal... Einfach 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much!
I have beat Ovarian C 2x, 2000 and 2023.
I have beat Melanoma Skin C 12X since 2008.
God is not done with me, RIP Anthony B., if it was not for him.
My 1st Melanoma's required 15 stichs across my back, 12 stiches down.
Like a huge Cross.
The best memories
Great song for Haloween!!
Maybe the most beautiful song ever written
very creative and good editing.... I liked it very much
Very cool visualizations! :)
Thank you!
@@wraithsong24-7 ...Но....
Много слишком черепов ,
смертей
и " могендовидов ".
You should not fear the reaper. He does not kill you. He takes your soul and guides you to where youshould be, heaven, purgatory or hell. He has no malice. As Maximus said, “ Fear not for you are in Elysium and you are already dead”.
Takes the Body's Life Forces from BILLIONS of Cells.CAN'T take a Soul. More energy to be had from a Body.
I like the reaper. Every life i have lived was worth it
@@roberthickerty390 Powerfull Statement. I'm Christian Biblical.
Shut up 😂😂😂😂 there’s no purgatory 😂😂😂
@@SkyBoots according to Dante there is. It was believed in his time.
Haven't heard this in ages.
Love this so much.
Thank you 🙏🏻
is that the cowbell song?
Luv the art work
Fabulous , Timeless Song and Fabulous Artwork .
Thank you 🙏🏻
Blue oyster cult Don't fear the reaper Good music v
While we each are on our own seperate paths, our destination is the same.
Trippy who knows the reaper may be closer then we think oh no l😮
I have the title of this song on my car. People comment all the time how cool it looks. My favorite band and song ever!
The color is outstanding 🎉 .
Don't fear the Reaper, he shows up when your soul is stuck. Listen to his guidance...
Great Choice!
🪄🎶
Thanks!
the art is beautiful, too
You're going to want that cow bell........more cow bell
A wonderful track which dominates their output, but please listen to their other songs, a fantastic band. Bless you all.
