&quot Don't Fear) The Reaper"


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 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...

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 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 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

1. If you watch that on Youtube

there is a mighty fine playlist on the right hand side

[UglyGreed]

2. Yep I love

that youtube does that, I forget at times how many great songs are out there.

[hifiguy]

3. That is one of the most hypnotic guitar riffs ever.

Great song, great band.

Saw a live version of this from the 2000s on DVD that was mind-roasting.

7. Saw it live

with the banned laser light show. They bounced the lasers off mirror balls and created a pattern of rows of green squares that appear to curve out from the balls.

9. love this song.

and i loved how it was used in the opening of "the stand"

[hifiguy]

11. That was creepy beyond words.

I am about due to re-read the uncut version of The Stand again.....

[orleans]

13. what is the un-cut version? n/t

[hifiguy]

14. King's original manuscript version

It runs around 1100 pages. One holy hell of a read. It's out there and only moderately hard to find if that.

10. That was fun. Gots it on vinyl.
