Blue Öyster Cult - (Don’t Fear) The Reaper (Rock Cover by Violet Orlandi & @jonathanymusic)

I gotta say I do fear the reaper 👀 what’s your biggest fear?

I feel like it was only a matter of time before we both covered this song 🤣

A duet where the man sings high and the woman low is definitely something I needed in my life and didn't knew

Ive always laughed at the "needs more cowbell" jokes, but listening to this song, and noticing that its great, but getting to the end and feeling there was something missing from the song, and realizing that it legitimately needs more cowbell.

I am OBSESSED with your look in the first part of the video, with the hair and the jacket. You look like such a badass and I am here for it! Great cover, too.

Could really use more cowbell lol nah, this is great! Another great performance by all involved.

I'm constantly astounded by John's vocal range. The contrast between him and voilet are just magical. Love every bit of their featurings

Am I the only one who really likes when Jonathan sings soft and thinks he doesn't do it nearly enough?

One of the greatest rock songs ever.

Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription... is more Violet Orlandi songs! Another awesome collab, Violet! There's just something about songs you make with Jonathan that make them stand out so much. Thank you once again!

...and everything her voice touched became golden... She could sing a song using the plumbing section of a phone book and it would move souls like some ethereal train bound for glory...

Seems like just yesterday Violet was sitting in her room with just a camera and a guitar making great music. Now she's becoming a world wide sensation and still putting out the great music. Looking forward to more!

I love this old-skool aesthetic! The hair and outfit work so well with the old-timey music video style.

I gotta say, I love this cover. There's just one problem. "I've got a fever, and the only prescription is MORE COWBELL!"

Blue Oyster Cult was my first concert in 1976. When dad picked me up, he said that I smelled like beer- I told him that the guy behind me spilled it on my jacket,lol

Didn't know I needed it. Absolutely incredible. Violet's voice makes it so much more haunting, too. <3 you V.O!

If I ever want to show anyone what I see when not wearing my glasses, this video is it! Great song and video!

You covered one of my most favorite songs of all time. You did it so well; it was a transcendental experience for me. "Thank you" just does not seem adequate. I listened to this repeatedly. I'm not usually one for this type of self-disclosure on social media but I think it is appropriate here. The Blue Oyster Cult and a few other bands (and especially this song) got me through the night when my mother was dying and after she passed. I was 14 and she had cancer; I was there first hand for her decline over the course of three years. The last year was the worst. The lines, "...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...," were running through my mind when I last saw her, moments before she died. Those lines, and a prayer of gratitude to God. For 30 days I prayed, "Lord, she suffers. Please, cure her or take her but do not let her linger." A few days before she died I heard this song for the first time. I'm in my 50's now and it still hits me the same way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thumbs up for violets hair being freaking awesome.

This is a great version of this song! I used to jam it on my electric guitar playing on the front porch along with Cat Scratch Fever, the Jack, and Song & Dance Man. The cops would come by and say, "you can't play amplified music outside in public view without a permit."
