Song 53 ( Blue Öyster Cult - Harvest Moon )



I have always liked songs that tell a story within them; this is one of them. The story in this song is about a village or town that is cursed. It retells the history of people disappearing from the town and how the bodies are always discovered after the winter thaw.
While it's kind of disturbing, it's actually quite good and interesting with the way the lyrics are arranged with the music. The music is very brooding and a bit ominous, but overall mellow with some metal influence in the guitar solo. The musicianship is top notch and paired with the excellent storyline and the lyrics makes this an awesome song. I can still remember when this song first came out on the radio and it immediately caught my attention, and still does, every time it is played.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
