The sky is filled with herds of shivering angels

Blue Oyster Cult is just one of those classic rock bands who make music that one simply cannot deny the impact and strange-ness of.

I came to know BOC 3 or so years ago with the song I Love The Night. In a gloomy autumn night it was when I heard this song, many people resembling friends around me, not that any of them were not sincere, it was just that I felt alone, and I had the right to, since no meaningful friendship was established.

Tavern night with strangers vibe.

Anyways;I hold Blue Oyster Cult as dear to me as almost the band Camel.

I have never been any good at giving convincing concise recommendations on music. You just gotta listen to it.

Here are some of the songs I started out with :

• I Love The Night, Spectres Album
• Astronomy*, Secret Treaties Album
• Flaming Telepaths**, Secret Treaties Album
• Joan Crawford, Fire of Unknown Origin Album
• (Don’t Fear) The Reaper, Agents of Fortune Album
• The Vigil, Mirrors Album
• Then Came the Last Days of May, Blue Oyster Cult Album

In no particular order.

*I highly recommend Astronomy cover by Metallica

** I highly recommend Flaming Telepaths cover by Witchwood

Anyways here is the lyrics to one I was just listening to (Joan Crawford):

Junkies down in Brooklyn are going crazy

They’re laughing, just like hungry dogs in the street

Policemen are hidin' behind the skirts of little girls

Their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

Catholic school girls have thrown away their mascara

They chain themselves to the axles of Big Mack trucks

The sky is filled with herds of shivering angels

The fat lady laughs, “Gentlemen, start your trucks”

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

no, no

(Christina) no, no, no, no, no

(Come to mother) no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no…

(Christina)

Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

Joan Crawford has risen
