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.

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

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.

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?

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!

One of the greatest rock songs ever.

...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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!

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."

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.

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

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

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!

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.

A lot of 80's vibes in this one!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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✨

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

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

Your voices sound so beautiful together. Perfect harmony!

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

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

Such a great voice for Blue oyster cult

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.

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

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

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.

One of my all time favorite bands.

Love, love, love!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

(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.

Don't Fear the Reaper is the best song about Death ever and I want it played at my funeral.

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

What a timeless song and amazing cover

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

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

Great job you guys! You really pulled it off, was on the fence at first but the second I heard it start I was like this is absolutely great!

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

wow, Jonathan's voice gave me goosebumps

This started popping up in my spotify this week and for some odd reason hadn't seen it on youtube but knew instantly that voice was Jonathan. Been rocking out to it at least once a day at work.

Cover starts: Me where's the cowbell? Cover: by the end, totally forgot about the cowbell. One of my favorite covers yet, you guys voices work perfectly together:) PS im no stylist (Far from it) but that style looks really good on you.

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"

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

Finally, my favorite band by my favorite singer.

Fantastic cover...💯

If Ghost had a female singer

You are quickly becoming pretty much the only music I listen to

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

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

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

Another song, another song done so uber super excellent.

Well that was absolutely incredible, Violet looking and singing like a dark angel

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

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

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

This is an absolutely stelar cover of one of my all time favorite songs!

Make rock not war.

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

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

Love the early 90s and late 80s look amazing!!!

One of the best songs ever.

I have this cover stuck in my head since it came out but I ain't complaining, I LOVE IT🖤🔥

Amazing as always. Never heard Jonathan sound like this vocally. Very serene. Pleasant surprise

Ngl I screamed a little when I saw this. This is probably my favorite song, ever. I've listened to so many different versions of it and the original through the years. This collab was perfect and you both killed it!

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

This song would have to be one of the greatest of all- time

It's unfair how unearthly hot Jonathan Young still is after all these years.

This is not only excellent but a 100 on the " true-ness " scale.

One of my favorite tracks of all time. This is a great reworking of it. Tremendous.

I internally screamed when I saw this cover pop up! One of my all time favorite songs covered by two of my favorite artists on RU-vid! 😍😍

Outstanding! Great performances from both of you. Brilliant!

This song brings a tear

One of the greatest rock songs ever and y'all nailed it!
