About This Track

(Don’t Fear) The Reaper was rumored to be about suicide; however, according to Songfacts, lead guitarist Donald Roeser was actually writing about the inevitability of death and the belief that we should not fear it.

    LMAO at the running cowbell dispute/dialogue/discussion. Hilarious. However, in all seriousness, a beautiful and great song.
