Recently I heard a Donovan song on the radio that I had not heard before. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of it, or any lyrics to search it up. But I do love some other Donovan songs so I will make this a post about these Donovan songs.
Hurdy Gurdy Man
In 1966 Donovan changed style a bit and released Hurdy Gurdy Man. This psychedelic and somewhat hard rocking song with tremolo vocal effect also has an absolute killer guitar break at 1:50 which lasts and lasts for almost a full minute!
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I opened my eyes to take a peek
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquility
'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang!
Season Of The Witch
This one came out in 1968. We just had Halloween and we're still in the Autumn season where the wind blows cold and the leaves die and fall. This fits the mood. It is a psychedelic tune but in a more subdued way. The guitar is good and there is organ, but no killer guitar break like Hurdy. Just a funky guitar and organ bit in the middle.
When I look out my Window, many sights to see!
Its strange, so strange!
Must be the season of the Witch, yeah!
Bonus Witch Tune
Vanilla Fudge took Season of the Witch and slowed it down as they were known to do. This version is truly spooky! Very dramatic in parts. Probably too long at 9 minutes, and goes off the tracks at the end, sending a shiver down my spine.
God hey, if you can help us you better listen, please!
Momma... I'm COLD!
Then a little whistle of "The Beat Goes On" into the fade out.
Atlantis
A beautiful song about Atlantis. Where it was, what happened to it, where they sent their people once the end was known to be coming.
Way down below the ocean
Where I wanna be, she may be!
That's the repeated chorus that starts around 1:48 and continues over light guitar and piano until the end at 5 minutes.
Hail Atlantis!
