This is depressing, but at my lowest, I actually planned on driving my car off a cliff and into a lake to this song, had the area picked, the sleeping pills ready...I didn't, but I got 5 minutes from the spot I chose to die at and stopped for drinks and gas. This guy that was working at the store could see how red and puffy my face was from crying, and asked me what was wrong. I told him I didn't want to freak him out or upset him with my bs, but he wasn't busy, and told me that he was a good listener, that he had been there. So we talked. And talked. And after that conversation, we had to exchange numbers, we had become very fast friends. We've been married 8 years now and I love him with all of my heart and soul. He saved me in so many ways. I listen to this song now with new ears, and I'm so grateful for my life 🙏❤ life is so fleeting
Wow, Melissa, Your story makes me so happy. Thanks for sharing. Welcome home, honey. Kudos to your man, also.
Stories like this make me hopeful. Thanks for sharing this 💓
fear of what we leave behind and is there a next and what is it like fear of no more accomplishment gotta find something to live for lots of people don't want to die just need things to be better.
WOW...... beautiful
Thanks for sharing. As someone who is miraculously still alive after a ruptured aneurysm who did not go to the ER until after 16 hours afterwards, I do not know how I’m still alive and neither do the doctors, this song takes on a whole new meaning as I felt like I met the reaper and yet I did not fear.
This song shall forever signal the beginning of "The Stand" for me....but we could use more cowbell.....
Always more cowbell
Indeed more cowbell..😊
It was the greatest choice to use this song to begin that movie. It just put you in a perfect mood to absorb what was to come in the story.
🤣🤣🤣 omg I forgot about the dam cowbell. I gotta have more cowbell 🤣🤣🤣
How could you not have more cowbell? Is there ever enough?
this is why we are such a fan of Lex, she is actually judging the song by her feeling, a real Rocker!!!!
I always remember what my maternal grandfather said to my mom when he was near death. He died of liver cancer when I was nine. She asked him whether he was scared. He shrugged and said no - if there was an afterlife he'd find himself there, and if there wasn't he'd never know, so there was nothing to worry about either way.
Your Grandfather was an intellegent person.
"I think newborn babies fear life."
I mean - never have I ever thought this or read it or anything and yet somehow Lex drops this off-the-cuff unintended Socrates level philosopher ish during a rock song review - and I can't stop dwelling on this notion! holy crap!!!
Yes Lex laid one of those brain benders on us. Really deep.
It’s a bald assertion that only sounds deep. Babies are probably freaking out from the first trauma of their life, but the crying is actually beneficial to clear their lungs & would have been selected for during mammalian evolution.
@@chemquests you must be fun at parties.
@@magicpowers BWAHAHAHAHA BWAHAHAHAHA BWAHAHAHAHA 👏👏👏👏😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤘
@@magicpowers I couldn’t ignore comparing her to Socrates…just too much. I bet they say it like Bill & Ted
I can’t listen to this song without the need for more COWBELL!!!
LOL I was literally thinking the same thing. Come on baby we need more cowbell!
I got a fevah, and the only prescription is more COWBELL!! (Bruce Dickenson - 1972)
Excellent !!! 🔥🔥🔥
Word! How about those drums!
*Christopher Walken?*
The solo @4:06 is the Reaper’s scythe: it unexpectedly knocks the door down, singles out each person, and viscously removes each soul while engaging them in long, intimate eye contact. Friggin LOVE this solo.
Whow, from now on I will always think of your words when listening to that passage of the song.
Maybe the most underrated rock band of all time. They were so great and talented, made so many hits and great songs. Yet they arent ever talked about as one of the greats.
Truth. But no one is fooling me. They are the greatest band ever in my opinion. Can't go a day without some BOC
I agree 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥❤️
100% @TheOrioles93
this is the most underrated rock band same as savatage is the most underrated metal band
They only have two songs that are goid
Never get tired of that stone cold classic.
Same. 🤘🏼
per the writer of the song: " 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.”
"Babies look freaked out when they're born"
And as it turns out, they're totally right to be. Babies have no idea how correct they are to be freaked out
I've listened to this song for literally decades. Lex you've made me see this song in a different light. Holy shit. This is going to be my death bed song if I see it coming. And a new phrase has entered my life. Hard in, hard out. Damn.
One of my favorite things about this channel is Lex letting herself go and bouncing off Brad, and he looks totally focused and doesn’t give notice to her eccentricity. Cracks me up.
lol hes always so confused
I think they work out well.
I love this part to them! I feel we need both “sides” of the brain and heart to complete each other and make whole
Brad seems to concentrate on lyrics and she just goes with the jam! Lol
Brad is far too analytical and wants everything
to make logical sense.
3:04 "It seems like newborn babies fer life." Are we just gonna pretend pretend like Lex didn't just drop this philosophical gold nugget?
I’m gonna be thinking about this for the rest of my life.
Dude she drops these little gems everywhere. It's crazy
Hahahahahahahah as if
I didn't see anyone pretend pretend anything.
I’ve actually thought that. You’ve been sitting in this confined spot in the dark all by yourself for nine months, and then suddenly, someone’s pulling you out of that confined space into the light where all these people are. Yeah, they’re probably scared to death!!
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.
"We shall meet again, those who have loved." (Anonymous)
There's mounting evidence that consciousness is a non-local phenomenon, and came before matter...so in the end, science is helping us realize to not fear the reaper either.
Hang on bruh. Hang on. 🙏🏿
A perfect love song. It’s especially appropriate around this time of year when it is said that the veil between our world and the next is thin. It describes a love which lasts for all eternity!
BLUE OYSTER CULT "GODZILLA",, "BURNING FOR YOU",, "I LOVE THE NIGHT" & "THIS AIN'T THE SUMMER OF LOVE"
Great stuff. I love "Take Me Away " too. Wasnt a hit but it sounds like classic BOC.
Also "then come the last days of may"
I Love the Night is amazing… always hits me as a vampire song… they always had that dark side to their lyrics with mystical, fantasy and monsters.
Godzilla cracks me up. Great song.
Blue Oyster Cult are one of those bands that are just amazing..Nobody else sounds like them... You should listen to more stuff by them..
Only BOC could come up with some of the lyrics they did, or songs, even - She's as Beautiful as a Foot!
@@danielsmith5088 Agreed. I saw them in 2019 and they played that track. I never expected to hear that one..
Yes, yes they should.
Not only does no one else sound like them (although Ghost attempts to), they sound like a completely different band from one song to the next.
They helped launch Rush's career by having them as an opening act on Rush's debut album. By the time the mid 80s arrived, Rush was in a position to return the favor and I was able to see two of my favorite bands on the same evening.
@@danielsmith5088 Also, "Then Came the Last Days of May" or "Cities on Flame with Rock 'n Roll," etc. from their first album. There's so much interesting guitar work on it, for one thing. Lex would dig it.
All your reactions: Brad with a look on his face like he is analyzing the song/lyrics; you can see the wheels spinning in his head. Lex is all about the feeling; she lets the song take her.
"Death is more natural than a lotta of things we do when we're alive." Damn. Great reaction and great comment. Probably the quickest understanding of the lyrics I've witnessed. 40,000 refers to births and deaths daily even though it's waaay more than that.
Lex just invented the concept of a deathbed playlist. And the philosophical conjecture that newborns fear life the same way we fear death. Brilliant. Also her spazzing out at the solo drop is the typical adorableness that we come here for.
A deathbed playlist is not new. I've had mine picked out for years. I'm ill and the end can come at any time or I may last a few more. But my son knows where the playlist is. 🙂
She has an interesting mind.
Lex: "I was literally thinking, what a perfect song to die to. A deathbed bumper."
Never ever thought of it that way, but now, I totally want this song playing when I go out... like literally when they are pall barring my a** to the grave site... I want this song playing.
Love your channel guys. Love your banter together, love Lex's unique take on the tracks, and Lex's smile is absolutely to die for. So happy that you are moved by the music I grew up with. Thank you for your channel. So amazing to watch young people experience my youth.
hahaha yeah her saying that made me think oh man i need to put together a playlist of some songs I want to be the last songs i hear when i'm dying. Cuz ya know i might die alone idk. My friends though will know what to play at my funeral. Cuz they're my friends. :)
That sustained note at the end of the solo is everything
When you said this could be some deathbed music I was surprisingly thinking the same darn thing
This is the cowbell song from SNL with Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken. "More Cowbell"
BOC is fucking amazing!! I want this played at my funeral 🤟
Blue Oyster Cult has a lot of songs about death, the occult, sci-fi/fantasy, ESP, UFOs, etc. One of their more haunting songs is "Then Came the Last Days of May", a song based on a real life event where three young men from New Jersey got gunned down in the desert outside of Tucson in a drug deal gone bad.
Saw these guys three times live...back in the 70's. Great live shows....they did one thing that I have never seen before in their live shows and I believe it was in this song. All five of them were across the front of the stage on guitars...no one on drums....just all on guitars. It was crazy great. Great band!
My brother passed away in bed at home the day I was playing this song in the basement. That is the memeory I have of this song.
Very sorry to hear that. I hope this song brings you comfort and solace, not pain.
Wow. That just gave me huge chills. Hope it's not a bad memory for you.
" More cowbell!!! " SNL classic.
They should DEF watch that skit!
Back when they were still actually funny !!
"Don't be afraid."
- The Reaper
Damn! Lex got deep AF on this one dropping low key knowledge on us. Babies fear life?!?! Death-bed bumper?!?! Love it!
You're gonna want to hear that COWbell on that track!
you just gotta love Lex's reactions 😂😂🤣🤣👍👍
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.
The internet was created so humans could watch Brad discover the mathematical equation that will finally explain music to us all.
You could win a Nobel Prize with that theory. The evidence is overwhelming.
First Zombie and now Don’t fear the reaper? Holy sh*t two of my favorit songs
when it come to reaction videos the two of you are a joy to watch when Lex starts to dance on the couch and really getting into the music, you are comical. And at the same time Brad is so deep into the music and absorbing all that is being played on top of her moving around. A real joy to take the time and check the two of you out.. Peace
are you smoking crack??
“Death and life are both my dreams, wake up and know you are”
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.
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")
@@mokane86 Right on point. Brad jumped right into the fire. Whitechapel, Meshuggah, Jinjer can be shocking.
And break down his guardedness.
@@mokane86 Absolutely right! I have had the exact same thought watching reaction videos. Maybe worded slightly differently but same idea. Also the thing is that someone like me who at 54 has been a lifelong metal head still can't and have no desire to wrap my head around a lot of the super hard metal. 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.
Years back, I did a bunch of ecstasy at their show and shit my pants. Good times!
Lmao nice
This made me laugh out loud, fr.
Lol
That's some funny shit!
That sounds like a "running gag" :-)
I always forget what amazing musicians Blue Oyster Cult were, until I hear this song again. The musicianship and feeling of harmony here is out of this world.
5:10 to 6:10. Lex you got it! As a hospice nurse I guarantee some people are terrified. However, my grandmother was 99 and ready. She seemed mad she was still here hours before she passed.
And I think we need to encourage people to put these kind of instructions into their advanced directives, or at least make sure someone knows what you would like to hear (and what not to play).
(Edited for spelling)
I know you guys do music stuff but following up on this with the SNL more cowbell skit would be amazing if you haven't already seen it.
Epic track...epic skit. Facts!
Agreed, one of the best skits
Ol' Christopher Walken...great actor. I mean back in the days of ol' Farrell, Sandler, Farley, Spade, Shannon, as well as others...there we're so many great skits.
Iwas thinking the same thing.
Do it lol
'What a perfect song to die too." I love how Lex's mind works! Not the first time she's cracked me up lmfao.
When this song came out it was believed to be about suicide. The 40,000 supposedly represents the number of suicides everyday. She ran to him and they flew; out the window? And became like the others were. The writer claimed it was about a love that continued beyond death. I love the imagery of the candle blowing, the curtains flying. It reminds me of the Raven EAP poem.
One of my all-time favorite bands and this is certainly representative of that mysterious aura they always had. That's some great Rock!!!
"I need more Cowbell"
Ok Bruce Dickinson
@@jacklewis5452 old school SNL rocks.
I got a fever
Blue Oyster Cult is one of those bands that has hidden gems that weren't played on the radio, like: Subhuman, Astronomy, Harvester of Eyes, Wing's Wetted Down, 7 Screaming Diz-Busters, Dominance and Submission, Screams ...🤘🤘🤘
Black Blade
And “Then Came the Last Days of May” my favorite
Veterans of the Psychic War!
Their cover of Kick Out The Jams
@@EvelyntMild Their Kick Out the Jams live version is absolutely the definitive version, imo
This song is actually a song from Dracula to a potential bride...'Don't fear the Reaper' is the invitation to immortality
I love you guys perspective. Thanks.
This song's always had one of my favorite "vibes" of basically anything I've heard. I always felt that middle instrumental was jarring, but then realized it's the part where Death takes you, and then it's over and on the other side there is that same calm, almost hypnotic groove.
One of my favorite songs of all time!
Also, you keep dropping videos so fast I don't think I'll ever catch up! (Not a complaint)
On June 25, 1982, between my junior and senior year in high school, I went to see BOC live at Castle Farms in Charlevoix, Michigan. I went with my brother, his girlfriend, and her best friend, somewhat of a first date for the best friend and I who was also in my high school class. Fast forward to today, September 25, 2021. That same beautiful girl and I now have 3 wonderful sons, 2 grandsons and a granddaughter. From that first date, neither of us has ever dated another person, and Blue Oyster Cult will always have a special place in my heart. Oh, and thanks for another great reaction.
I’ve loved this song for decades, & I loved Lex’s reaction. 💜
"Deathbed Bumper" freakin rollin here.
I think this song needs More Cowbell! I Gotta Have More Cowbell!
Sickest guitar solo ever recorded, in my humble opinion.
I've viewed several of your videos and I love the way Lex rocks out no matter what the song!
I love y'all! Such beautiful folks!!!! Keep on keepin on!!!!
Great ups.
Buck Dharma is a top 10 guitarist for me. So smooth.
Criminally underrated guitarist
Agreed!
Hes so underrated hes a great guitarists
The song is about eternal love and mortality. They used Romeo and Juliet as meaning they had faith in eternal love and the 40,000 represents about the number of people that die everyday.
@@cirtapseven3742 - the number was a guess and was always incorrect
@@alphaomega7191 Probably not even a guess so much as just a sizeable number that sounds assonant enough for the lyrics.
@@tunguska-1454 Your pretty much right - Buck said the following
The line “40,000 men and women every day” was my wild guess about how many people in the world die daily. I didn’t research it - and it turned out that I was about 100,000 out. But I just needed a number I could sing.
The song is about mortality. Not love. Death is as natural as life. You cannot have one without the other.
@@ericsierra-franco7802 - It's about both according to Buck. He had been told he would probably die young
I was 22 and had just been diagnosed with an irregular heart condition, which got me thinking about dying young. 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.
You two are awesome-love this & you both!
Whenever I hear this song I always think of that opening scene from The Stand.
I got a fever, and the only prescription is MORE cowbell!
If Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell, I think we should give him MORE COWBELL.
Classic track, one of the greats
Amazing song by one of my favorite bands. Groovy, haunting, melodic, epic, with one of the most unique solos ever & that sustained note from the solo all the way through the next verse
I love watching y’all’s reaction to songs I heard back when they came out.Better late than never.😄😄😄
You know how I can tell I respect you two? By the fact that sometimes I feel *_validated_* when you guys like a song I've been listening to for over 4 decades.
Right ?
I haven’t been alive for that long, however, these classics they have been listening to, i grew up listening to. I have very high expectations for music lol
classic parasocial relationship
Where the lyrics and music compliment each other in a masterful way.
this was the reaction i needed today. so much life! and for this song too! :)
A” DEATH BED BUMPER” freaking classic!!!!! That’s y I love her!!!!!🤣😂🤣😂😅😅
Much better rock music in the 70's than what is being produced today....period!
You two are definitely a match made in heaven. Brad is very methodical and dissecting the lyrics and Lex just goes with it and enjoys it for what it is... Awesome!!
I wish all couples were like them. Just watching them can make anyone feel good. 😍 Really don't care what their relation is like off camera. They provide real *FEEL GOOD* reactions whatever they react to. They should have millions of subscribers. This is what this world needs!
Great analysis guys! I have been listening to that song for 40 years, and never really listened to the lyrics, because the harmonies are so rich. Well done!👍
Thank you for sharing this with me 😊
I put Blue Oyster Cult (BOC) up there with some of the best, just below the Zeppelin and Floyd level. Their early stuff especially is consistently great. Almost anything off their first 4 albums is amazing, as well as a few of their later songs. They are very much an overlooked group in discussions of top tier bands and Buck Dharma is unjustly left out of most greatest guitarists lists. One of their later songs you should check out is Black Blade, along with any of their early songs.
Black Blade is a great mention, and I'm gonna throw The Vigil in there as well.
Lex is just such a joy to watch! The second I saw this I couldn't wait for you guys to get to the bridge to see your reactions!! It's so cool watching people discover my favorites for the first time :)
Even better are the spooky songs of The Alan Parson project. Great, great songs!
I saw them in concert in the 80's at Scarborough Downs , was in the pit and had to get out because it was getting rough and I was out of my mind, after clearing the crowd staring at the ground wear I was staggering my feet I saw a line of shiny boots, I look up and I'm 2 feet from a riot squad formation, I salute them and do a ninety degree turn like I'm inspecting the troops, no one was smiling back at me. 😆 That was f'd up.
I totally agree with you David. Loved that song ever since it came out. It got a lot of radio play back in the day.
Ok so, I saw this reaction on your Live Stream and all I have to add is 😂🤣😂🤣!!! You two are WAY too much fun!!
This song is such a great song and has been treasured for DECADES by a couple generations!! That being said....
Other than seeing Lex's pure joy over the instrumentals..... The best part of sharing this with you guys is watching you try to figure it out!!😉😁 AWESOME reaction as always! 😍😎❤
P.S.... now that you've heard this song, you HAVE to check out the SNL skit about this song and The Blue Oyster Cult!! "MORE COWBELL" with Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrell..... even if it's just for yourselves, check it out!!! ;) ;)
Maybe it’s a misconception
We’re afraid of how we die, not death itself
Great song you just get relaxed and pulled in ✌️🎶🌸
I'm much more afraid of others around me whom I love dying than myself. I cannot tolerate the loss if/when I am left behind.
I'm afraid of death itself. The concept of nonexistence is terrifying when you think too hard about it.
@@Frostrazor yes! Well said my friend ✌️🌸
@@elbruces yes it is scary but, what if there’s something for the “Good Souls” just on the other side of the moon? Some believe we came from the stars and we go back
That’s why the Stars and Universe sing
Maybe I just smoked a good bowl ☺️✌️
Goodnight 🌙

I've thought about that too, and I don't get to believe in an afterlife just because I want to. For some reason, my brain doesn't work that way. I recognize that a lot of other people can, though.
I discovered the song when my old brother purchased the LP in 1975. It is still one of my favourite songs from one of my favorite groups.
Don't Fear The Reaper was in the 1999 PC Game "Ripper" as the main theme song, . Christopher Walken, Karen Allen, Burgess Meredith, and John Rhys-Davies were character voices in the game.
Great band, more reactions needed. "I Love the Night" (about a vampire), "Astronomy", "Last Days of May" and "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" (especially live) are great songs to check out.
Yes to all, also my favorite BOC song: Perfect Water.
Binging on y'alls 🎶 reactions and dealing with this Hurricane
Good luck man. Be safe
For some reason, what literally tears me apart is "The candles blew, and the disappeared."
I've never seen this two before, but I love Lex. Seems like she really gets into the music.
Love them!! New subscriber!!😊
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.
Well said .....and so true
We are nothing more than energy, and energy does not cease to exist, it just continues on. Maybe in a different form that we don't or can't recognize. But it is still energy and it will go on forever.
I love their song "Godzilla " it was huge when I was a kid ✌❤🤘
Still is!
Lexi sez: "Wow, what a perfect song to die to...." That's what Buck Dharma, the writer of this song said, too. She's scary good.
The guitar solo/breakdown/rise up in this song is my favorite of all time.
Their song Harvest Moon is similar in tone. It’s a great hidden gem of theirs that’s really haunting. Their song Dancing In The Ruins is another hidden gem. Buck Dharma, the guitarist, is a genius. Oh and the song Black Blade may be their best.
Classic song, one of the best ever.
"hard in, hard out"... i will never forget that Brad. well said
lex is a find for me. love her. love her enthusiasm her passion her insights. so cool.
Now you have to do SNL's 'cowbell' sketch
"More cowbell !!" Search for : Saturday Night Live/ Will Ferrell/ don't fear the reaper
My favorite song since I heard in on my car radio after high school.
Hi Brad and Lex. I'm so glad to see you've done a review of this song by Blue Oyster Cult, especially as I'll be seeing them perform live in Glasgow this Saturday, as the support act for Deep Purple. Tonight, I watched Halloween Ends in Scotland's best cinema screen, in IMAX with Laser quality. This '(Don't Fear) The Reaper' song was used at the end credits of the movie and it was great to hear. I remember being really creaped out by this song when it was used as the opening credits song for the Stephen King TV series called The Stand in 1994, while the camera panned around a catastrophic scene, with dead bodies all over the place. It certainly worked well then too. A creapy, but classic song. Æx 🙏
