Coming of age musically with Blue Oyster Cult while in Catholic school
My Mom loved rock music of all sorts. So when I came of age (musically speaking) and found a song and band I loved, it didn’t matter that the band had a satanic cult reputation and I was going to a Catholic school. If I liked Don’t Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult, that was just fine with Mom. She gave me the LP as a gift. No criticism or hesitation. “Just don’t make a big thing of it to the nuns, and you’ll be fine.”
I loved my Mom 8^)
Don’t Fear the Reaper ~ by Blue Oyster Cult
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
The door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and 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 she started to fly
she 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
