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

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

One of the greatest rock songs ever.

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.

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

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

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!

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!

...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...

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

A lot of 80's vibes in this one!

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

These folks definitely put their pants on one leg at a time! Great voices and arrangement of this cover.

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

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.

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

Didn't know I needed it. Absolutely incredible. Violet's voice makes it so much more haunting, too.

Thumbs up for violets hair being freaking awesome.

Как всегда потрясающий женский вокал и радующий глаза видеоряд! Говорят Ютуба в России больше не будет это большая потеря! Успехов вам в творчестве! Сибирь тоже вас слушает!

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."

More duets from these two. They are simply wonderful together.

I always think of the scene in Scrubs where Ted's band performs this in the Pediatric Ward and JD muses on whether it's appropriate to serenade sick children with a song "about the upside of death." Knocked it out of the park again, Violet!

Did someone else noticed that for brief moments, the voice of Ville Vallo, vocalist of HIM, can be heard from 3:55 to 4:08? They also made a cover of this song, in their album Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666 :D Thanks for the cover and the amazing reference

Your voices sound so beautiful together. Perfect harmony!

One of my all time favorite bands.

You two should really do a cover of Where the wild roses grow.

Really excellent. Better and better. Thanx for the rock.

Violet Orlandi, just as gorgeous as her uniquely gifted voice and one Hell of a visual artist 🎨

One of my favourite songs.

Setting aside the music for a moment -- I think your outfit and makeup in this video are my all-time favorite. It's understated, but there are lots of interesting details to be noticed by people who pay attention to details.

One of my favorite songs preformed beautifully by two of my favorite artists! I absolutely love this!!!!

After listening to this I'd love to hear you sing the song Don't Pay the Ferryman. I don't know why, just suddenly thought of it after enjoying this so much.

Love, love, love!

Meu Deus, cada semana você se supera!!! Ficou incrível demaisssss! Amo essa música!! 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

My first time hearing Orlandi. It's fantastic hearing hearing an amazingly beautiful voice that isn't overpowered by Jonathan's amazing voice. Great vocal synergy

Это прекрасно! Я очень рад видеть вас обоих, поющими вместе. Спасибо!! Brilliant! I'm so happy see you guys singing together. Thank you!!

This song brings a tear

It sounds like it’s done in the style of Ghost 😍🖤

I love her hair like that! Another great team up!

Violet you absolutely rule this Earth You were the greatest of all time I absolutely love your music

Outstanding! Great performances from both of you. Brilliant!

This is one of my favourite songs of all time, and I was prepared to be disappointed. I wasn't. I fear not death, but only the manner of it.

This is enchanting and haunting 🥺 oh I got chills, tearing up, your voices are so beautiful! Bravo

This song works so well as a duet. Glad someone did it for youtube.

Her side profile is just perfect… dang! Love this cover 🔥🔥

Just realized the deeper meaning of the duet. They are asking to go together. Don’t do it! We love your music!

👏👏👏👏👏🖤🖤🖤🖤💯💯💯💯💯Awesome! One of the Best Song of All time!

Love this collab, Violet. Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken would appreciate this. I gotta fever! And the only prescription is more cowbell! Love your hair and makeup Vi.

I used to absolutely hate covers, but with fewer and fewer quality songs being put out, covers have become a way to hear good "new" music.

Awesome! I love Jonathan and Violet. Every time they do something together, they knock it out of the park.

Violent + Jonathan is a match made in heaven. Both with such a powerful voice blends so well. Need a whole EP please 🙏

This used to be one of my favorites a few years ago, absolutely love this performance!

Understated...but brilliant. Energy maxed with restraint. This is what I want to listen to.

Excellent song choice and even better performance Violet and Jon🔥❗️ AWESOME VIDEO ❗️

Second best duet cover of this song. The title of the best cover of this, goes to Finnish band, HIM. Which has regular vocalist Ville Valo, & guest vocalist Sanna-June Hyde, on vocals.

You two are just perfect together, this cover is amazing 😍 the video is like a small musical and I absolutely love it.

wow, Jonathan's voice gave me goosebumps

What a timeless song and amazing cover

Love the key change, gives the song a weightier feel

Your voices compliment one another so well, god damn. Amazing cover as always!

Why does this whole video just vibe so hard?

As soon as I saw who made this cover, I knew it was going to be amazing, and I was not disappointed!

Now a blue oyster cult song with Violet Orlandi and Jonathan Young that is sick

Cada vez melhor!!! Muitoooo bom 🤟🏻❤️🇧🇷

(Don't Fear) The Reaper by Blue Öyster Cult is probably my favorite song ever. When I listened to your cover, at first, I did not like it. I did not hate it, but I did not like it. And then, the song grew on me. I listened to it a couple more time, and the more I was listening, the more I knew that it was actually brilliant. I understood that I first rejected it because I love the original so much. I still prefer the original to be honest, but I really think you did this cover in the best possible way. To me it's a different, great song. Amazing work, wish you the best.

What I love about this song is that it's very romantic and dark. It's the lead singer saying to the person they love. "Let's die together"

Absolutely incredible

I Love this song🤍 that’s an awesome cover as always, love your take on it👌🏼 but I have to say, HIM’s cover of it on Greatest LoveSongs vol.666 (1997) is my absolute favourite🙌🏼 That version was superb✨

Great job on guitar. So many guitarists would shake their heads no, to taking on a monster guitarist like Buck Dharma. Bravo!

Interesting take on the song. Tempo of the voice versus the tempo of the song makes the song sound it bit slower and Gothic(?), almost taking it into the metal zone. Fantastic cover.

Badass look for Violet!

If Ghost had a female singer

Rocking tune

(Insert cowbell joke here) Another brilliant cover Violet 🙌🙌🙌

I have been writing on youtube comments section of you big 4 cover artist, to cover this song....about bloody time....love from Mumbai India

Let's goooo! This crushes! Well done you two!

Hauntingly beautiful.

This made me feel so nostalgic

Fantastic cover...💯

Was a little worried the last chorus wouldn't smash it out of the park but then I did, fuck yeah

Muito fodaaa. É aquele ditado né: "Essa foi de foder, Cleytin" This is siiiick

Great video!! Awesome song!! I don't fear Reaper!! I'm 68, Rock n Roll!! Till Death!!!

I was hoping to hear more of Jonathan's villain voice, given the subject matter of the song.

3:38 - That look. That look is Violet knowing how the world works.

Cara que música show achei até estranho o Jonathan cantando soft sem a potencia da voz mas ficou mto bom

I’ve had this song on Spotify for the longest time. And I’d always sat here thinking, “Is that Jonathan Young?”. I finally look up the video and I was immediately like “I FUCKING KNEW IT!”

Loving your version of this. Keep it up. Have you ever thought of covering Dust in the Wind by Kansas. I think that would be amazing

The song which kept me going through worst of my times... You guys just gave it a new life... Bravo!

This is such a pretty cover. The vocal effects were tripping me up a bit tho.

One 9f kyball time favorite songs as a kid. Great job, great cover. Aces.👍🏽

Make rock not war.

Love this for many reasons.

Needs more cowbell

Violet in white. What a sight.

The both of your voices are powerful but together are so powerful, I'm young but would love to hear songs with yours with you guys, y'all are amazing

Hard rock 🖤 🤘

Magnific excelent rendition thanks for sharing❤😊
