VAN SHE (DON’T FEAR) THE REAPER
Categories: Music
Van She are the epitome of Australian cool and fairly frontal in the explosion of revered and respected fun boy tunes that allowed skinnys to be the norm and synth work always necessary.
Pulled together by the B-Live posse Van She were asked to do a cover of some sort… but why exactly a classic such as Blue Oyster Cults ‘Don’t Fear The Reaper’?.
Well that song has such a nice vibe to it and the harmonies in the lah lah lah section are so warm and care free, then it drops into that beautiful tube/tape sounding guitar which leaves you in this gap of contemplation and you just sit there with your headphones on going ” Laaa lalaaalala “. We also chose it because a lot of people I know think the song is quite gothic and proggy, which it is due to Blue Oysters style, but I also think the song is very amazing lyrically and beautiful and I guess it didn’t feel like it totally comes across in their version unless you read the lyrics. So I thought we could do a version that sounded like what we interpreted the lyrics to be … Romantic and deep and uplifting as well. We love the song a lot as well which also had something to do with it.
So there you have it, the romance runs deep between Van She and Blue Oyster Cult.
