  • I will never understand how a band was actually able to capture the feeling of a hot late may afternoon. Incredible

    Song is based on an actual event A drug deal gone bad. 3 guys were shot. 2 died and 1 survived The song is from the perspective of the survivor

    My birthday is on May 31st, and I always play this song on that day.
  • @dakotaslim
    The most beautiful song ever written about young men dying during a drug deal, IMO.
  • @DrDem420
    Such a chill song, even though the lyrics tell a dark tale.

    I heard this song the other day when my dad brought me home from school. When I first heard this song it made me really want to get into BOC. I had heard a few of their songs before but never went to in deep with their discography. The sound of their music is just entrancing, every time I've gone to listen to something I feel hooked. Everything about their music just feels unique to me, I'm still somewhat new to this genre but I haven't heard a whole lot like them. Blue Oyster Cult is easily one of my favorite bands, I'm glad my dad showed me them.

    This is one of those songs you remember the first time you ever heard it and for me that was on April 1st of this year on Illinois Route 54 in Mt. Pulaski.

    Me and my grandfather bonded over this song and helped bring our family together. Xx
