Song lyrics

Send "Don't Fear The Reaper" ringtones to your cell

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 comin' 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.

He came last night, out of sadness
And it was clear that we couldn't go on
The 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 we had no fear) And we ran to him
(Then we started to fly) We looked backward and said goodbye
We had become like they are (We had taken his hand)
We had become like they are (Come on, Baby)
Don't fear the reaper

14 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I think the female vocals in this song are pretty bad but the rest of it is just beautiful. Villes voice is gorgeous, just like him.

57 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Alright I don't like bad mouthing songs but I must say they hacked this song I'm sorry but have you ever heard the original? The trademark of that whole song is the COWBELL I didn't hear one damn cowbell throughout that song. It was too slow, no guitar solo. I know they aren't supose to be exactly the same but they completely changed the song!

57 posts	Right...Douchebag? Because that's original! Sorry that I have an opinion, and that this song BLOWS! Please do me a favor and listen to the original and maybe you'll see why I'm so pissed about the fact that they DESTROYED a pefectly good song! I'm not saying that HIM is a horrible band, they just could have done better. Now please get off my back! Fucking little queermo.

4 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Him covered Don't fear the reaper from Blue Oyster Cult. The song is about being in love with someone and the love is so strong that they will go through death and be together in eternity alot like Romeo and Juliet, they never feared the reaper. wink wink My opinion though, is that the cover is of a different genre of music.. which isn't a bad thing because this song fitted well with the theme of GLSV.666.

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i think that you cant compair the cover and the Blue oyster cult version and i think it is best that we dont argue and agree they are both good

LOCK n LOAD said ya but not as much as join me in death Yeah the Join Me In Death song is about being in love with someone and the love is so strong that they will go through death and be together in eternity alot like Romeo and Juliet every one thinks that Join Me In Death song is a suicide song or something like that and --][=][--][--][Y][- is the best band ever

I'm not saying that HIM is a horrible band, they just could have done better..." Now, it's alright to have an opinion... but you don't have to force it up their throats, if you think this cover sucks fine by me. If they think this song is awesome, fine by me. Just don't do the forcing thing, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, like you tried to make clear. And now about the song, of course it isn't as good as the original... Nearly no cover is. But that doesn't mean it is bad either, it's like someone said here it's another genre and you can't compare two genres. I'd rather have him covering good ol' rock songs than them "hardcore teams" and the likes glares angerly at Groove Coverage for raping Poison by Alice Cooper... NOW that's messing up songs.

57 posts	You just have NO right to tell me to shut the fuck up, that's what pissed me off and kept me going. I give my honest opinion and you jumped down my throat, how nice of you. And people I listen to Reel Big Fish I have gotten used to the whole covered song thing a long time ago, but just sometimes I don't approve of it. Does it really matter if I approve or not, yeah I'm going with a big fat NO, but oh well.
