"(Don't Fear) the Reaper".
Buck Dharma insists that the song is about eternal love. You really have to listen to the lyrics hard to really hear what it's trying to say, though:
Love transcends physical death.
Don't let the fear of losing your lover destroy your love.
You'll see each other again.
"Forty thousand men and women every day ... Redefine Happiness."
I wish I'd listened harder.
What you don't have to filter is the amazing music. If you've got a good stereo copy of the song, you'll note that they make very good use of the left and right channels. That distinctive opening guitar riff just swirls around you, and whenever I hear it, I smile.
It's a Rock Anthem: when it plays, you have to pull your car over, place your hand over your heart, and listen.
Singing along is optional.
Which song makes you happy every time you hear it, and why?
