Harvest Moon
Blue Öyster Cult Lyrics
This place has a history
The Spaniards settled here
They burned the town and fields
They moved away from here
My grandma often told me
She knew it peaceful here
The war took all the vigor
War took the best from here
Ah ah ah ah when the wind turns
Ah ah ah ah harvest moon
I see the days grow shorter
I feel the nights grow cold harvest moon
Young people feelin' restless
Old people feelin' old Harvest moon
I sense the darkness clearer
I feel a presence here Harvest moon
A change in the weather
I love this time of year harvest moon
The Cobys worked that valley
They gave that land a go
They built a thriving business
Then came that early snow
They lost their livestock that year
They lost their sheep and goats
They sold the farm in springtime
Went south to work the boats
Ah ah ah ah when the wind turns
Ah ah ah ah and blows the leaves from the trees
Ah ah ah ah harvest moon
I see the days grow shorter
I feel the nights grow cold Harvest moon
Young people feelin' restless
Old people feelin' old Harvest moon
I sense the darkness clearer
I feel a presence here harvest moon
A change in the weather
I love this time of year harvest moon
Ten years in this farmhouse
Ten years come this May
My simple needs are covered
Since grandma passed away
Long time since there's been trouble
That's what the people say
I told the new man when I
Sold the farm today
Ah ah ah ah when the wind turns
Ah ah ah ah and blows the leaves from the trees
Ah ah ah ah harvest moon
I sense the darkness clearer
I feel a presence here harvest moon
A change in the weather
I feel some evil here harvest moon
I hear some frightful noises
I don't go out at night Harvest moon
Since Bobrow's youngest daughter
Disappeared from sight Harvest moon
I know they'll find her some day
They find them all that way harvest moon
After the thaw in springtime
The snow melts away Harvest moon
I see the days grow shorter
I feel the nights grow cold harvest moon
Young people feelin' restless
Old people feelin' old harvest moon

Blue Öyster Cult has sold more than 24 million records worldwide, including 7 million in the United States alone. The band's music videos, especially "Burnin' for You," received heavy rotation on MTV when the music television network premiered in 1981, cementing the band's contribution to the development and success of the music video in modern popular culture.
Blue Öyster Cult have been described as heavy metal, light metal, psychedelic rock, occult rock, acid rock, and progressive rock. They have also been recognized for helping pioneer genres such as stoner metal and speed metal.
The band is influenced by artists such as Alice Cooper, Grateful Dead, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, MC5, The Blues Project, Jimi Hendrix, and Black Sabbath.
While Blue Öyster Cult has been noted for heavy rock, they would often add their own tongue-in-cheek style. Keeping with their image, the band would often include out-of-context fragments of Pearlman’s The Soft Doctrines of Imaginos into their lyrics, giving their songs cryptic meanings. Additionally, the band would keep a folder of Meltzer’s and Pearlman’s word associations to insert into their music.
Blue Öyster Cult's longest-lasting and most commercially successful lineup included Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (lead guitar, vocals), Eric Bloom (lead vocals, "stun guitar," keyboards, synthesizers), Allen Lanier (keyboards, rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Joe Bouchard (bass, backing vocals), Albert Bouchard (drums, percussion, backing vocals). The band's current lineup includes Roeser and Bloom, as well as Danny Miranda (bass, backing vocals), Jules Radino (drums, percussion) and Richie Castellano (keyboard, rhythm guitar, backing vocals).

This song brings to mind H.P. Lovecraft's "The Color Out of Space" for me...
Will Unscripted
Have you seen the movie with Nick Cage in it..? Came out this year or last can't remember, but it's crazy. A movie that will stick with you for awhile..
Jason Fox
Personnally, this also reminds me of the game Night in the Woods, but this is probably not as coincidental as it seems.
Eric Peacock
Now on their new album, they have a song, The Alchemist.
Jules Winter
Definitely. I heard the song beforehand. When I got around to reading lovecraft’s novels this one immediately stuck out to me
Robert Krakowski
A deep powerful song. Nobody makes songs like this anymore.
Colin Ritter
Plenty of people make music like this still, you just need to broaden your horizons. A singer named Jesca Hoop writes songs from her dream journal that have equally weird, if slightly more whimsical, lyrics.
fauque you're Monitering systems
Sure we do. We make music for free.
Because life is free.........time is all we are truly granted.
Forever on the edge of infinity, everything I have ever done was brand new.
MonKeiBusiness
Every autumn I come back to this song.

Southern hemisphere Autumn starting in a couple of hours. Had to come here.
