"Don't Fear the Reaper" is a song by the American rock band Blue Öyster Cult from their 1976 album Agents of Fortune. Written and sung by lead guitarist Buck Dharma, it's a power ballad that became a major hit, peaking at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The song is known for its prominent use of the cowbell, famously parodied in a Saturday Night Live skit featuring Will Ferrell. The lyrics explore the inevitability of death and the idea that love can transcend it. Many interpret the song as being about suicide or a murder-suicide pact, although Dharma has stated that he wrote it after contemplating his own mortality and imagining a reunion with his wife in the afterlife. The song's ambiguous lyrics have contributed to its enduring popularity and interpretation.
