OMG! So do I. Brings back such good memories.

This song is how I get into Halloween each year
Same!!
Perfect song to get you in the halloween mood! 🖤
The resemblance is crazy
Do you know other songs for Halloween like this?
It's on my Samhain Playlist
Man, its Monday July 24th, 2023. I am blasting this from my speakers, windows open, cleaning up, sun is shining. SUCH. A. VIBE.
Same but I was cutting a black mull berry tree down, and let me tell you this song gives you strength to pick up heavy stuff like dancing 😂
Make sure to pick up every stitch 😂
August 24..2023.✌️
August 31st. Not waiting for October.
@@teaze7202😂that’s what I thought too when playing this song.
*we don’t care why you’re here. we’re just glad you are. it’s nice to see you around:)*
mellilla thx😊
We're all here because we're not all there
CatWearingAHat spitting straight facts
i fuckin love the comments here u guys are weird asf
666th like ;)
One of the coolest songs ever written.
Agreed ! I watched the movie scary stories to tell in the dark in theatres and remember hearing it in the opening and thinking holy shit this song is badass and had to find it . I’m a bit surprised this song was made in the 60’s ! this dude was way ahead of his time .
Definitely,even my 25 yr old daughter thinks so n loves all my music n hates whatever they call that talentless monkey shit today!
@@breejames6323 Bree,u should really start listening to real music from 60s n 70s! That's when there were musicians that could read n write music! Rolling stones,the doors,Fleetwood Mac,Chicago transit authority,steely Dan,Elton,Queen,Led zeppelin,grand funk railroad,etc.......! My daughter is 25n listens to that instead of the shit u have today! It ended in the 90s w me
This and Black Magic Woman
@@lwoods7283 I love your daughters taste in music. I’m 35 and can’t stand the horrible dog shit they make today. There is absolutely not a shred of talent out there now. It’s all a bullshit gimmick today.
I ment Donavon and his family who owned a tree house BB in Negril Jamicam 1972-1973 It was nice really did not know how much he was in the music industry. Right after I met, Steven Stills, and Young. Living in those days was pretty wonderful,, Great Stories.
write a memoir about these experiences
Jimmy Page on lead guitar, John Paul Jones on organ, and Donovan's voice...a perfect combination!
Hi
@Donovan Hi There!!! I haven't, I was born in the early 1960's, but my husband and I have driven across this country many times with your cd's slammed in the player with the windows down. Pure Joy! Thank You!!!
Please come to Woodstock "Bethel Woods" !!!!! We will be there in a heartbeat!!!
@Donovan I love so many, but my favorites of all time are Catch the Wind and Colours from 1965. Brilliantly sensitive and beautiful from start to finish!!
Songs from '66 right through '68 amazing as well. Timeless to this day.
Really ? I didn't know Page played on this.
If you are still listening to this, you have my respect.
❤️🧙🏼♀️✌🏼
Donovan's songs were so progressive. Eclectic mix of folk, pop, funk, psychedelic rock.
and jazz. He has the perfect jazz voice.
acid music
Unfortunately he was overshadowed by Dylan and was considered by some of the more hard-core rock fans to be a bit hippie dippie. But this song is not soft. I think he earned his place in the music world.
While my wife was showering I put on a Donovan album and was just getting mellow when she came out yelling what is this crap you're listening to. WOW what a difference 6 years makes. She's into all the hair bands. Now that stuff if cookie cutter crap in my view. I'll take Donovan any day.
@@JennysJukeboxdew My now ex hated the music I loved, and he only listened to commercial "country" stations that played lots of Carrie Underwood but never Willie or Johnny Cash. In the car, he listened to Rush... not the wonderful rockers from Canada, no... I was forced to listen to Limbaugh.🤢
That was a major red flag I wish I had paid attention to.
In which I reveal my age: I vividly remember when this was released. I bought the album it is on immediately. It was 1966. I have always loved it. Dripping with atmosphere and suggested, hinted at meanings. And such a great sound. I still have the LP I bought at the time, but I haven’t played it in years. This is the first time I have listened to it on RUclips, and I have to say it amazes me! It must have been remastered or remixed at some point because I’m hearing all kinds of things in it, various instruments that jump out at me, that I never noticed before, or at least never paid much attention to. Now they slap me in the face! It is almost like hearing a new song, but with the comfortable familiarity of one you’ve known and loved for decades. I’ve just listened to it three times in a row, and I’m about to go for a fourth. Thank you!
For me, it IS a new song. I can't believe it took me 50 years to finally listen to it! Right now is my first time, and I'm glad to hear this. Some friends of mine covered it last night at a performance in Buffalo. That peaked my interest. Unusual, because I love the music from the 60s and normally don't need to be sparked like that. This is SO amazing!
🎉 1:56
My god, it is something what the sound engineers have done in recent times, ain’t it? Talk about picking up every stitch!
Love to see the intersection of Donovan fans and Destiny 2 fans right now
Man! This guy never got enough recognition. WAY ahead of his time.
I think he was never into the sould out soul concept. He was popular here in europe but he wanted it the healthy way.
Dont' know about that. this guy was mainstream in the 70's
much like the movie Halloween 3: Season Of the Witch
He got plenty of recognition when I was in high school. Everyone knew who Donovan was. He even had a TV special. Back then, you knew that you made it when you had your own TV special. Ask any boomer. If they were into music, as teenagers, they knew Donovan and his music.
Definitely
Finally is October 1st, officially is the season of the witch. 🎃
Best time of the year 🎃
🤘🎃
That's why I'm here 🍂🍁🍂

My gf, nephew, and only two sisters all have Birthday's in this month!!!
The tick of the drums gives me goosebumps
Dr Jhon nailed this
My cows died of an unknown disease, my wife is talking gibberish and my newborn is crawling around the ceiling...
Must be the season of the witch. Welcome to New England!
Children go through phases. I wouldn't worry too much about your baby, and don't all wives talk gibberish sometimes?
i love👁👄👁
Ugh, kids these days. Being ill-behaved earlier and earlier.
I suggest locking them in small closets, or trunks until they settle down and stop their demonic nonsense. You gotta be firm.
@@Theevil6ify - Should the trunk be airtight? You could do what one woman did. You could tape it to a wall and then brag about it on RUclips.
I'm with Sean Bryon....... Eventually, the baby will settle down..... I wouldn't feed the meat to the wolves, though. Have a glass of Whisky, and watch some wrestling. Life is good..........
Merry spooky season my fellow witches out there listening to this! Blessed be! )0(
❤
2 u too! Many blessings 🙏👁️😊💜🧙🪄🧹🔮🪻🌜⭐🍄🔥🧿
Lived in a commune when this song came out, wore tapestry dresses, slept on a waterbed, acid trips and long sundays in the park with equally high people, lovely boys, hash and hookahs, that's what this reminds me of.
@@dicklimerick7 Nah, I married a guy who was sexier than Robert Plant back in the day, at 19. great-hearted guy with an unfortunate addiction to alcohol and weed, which seemed normal to me at the time, go figure. carried on until our mid-30s and then i had to get out. was a wild ride while it lasted. made the wrong choice for all the right reasons, but sometimes the right reasons aren't enough.
@@pamelamills-senn1511 Someone sexier than Robert Plant? I didn't know that was possible!
@@juliehughes1258 actually you make a good point :-) maybe I should have said "almost",,,,
Likewise xcpt.. cutoffs manly man ♂️
GOOD ACID YEA
Something about music from the 60s and 70s, i never get tired of hearing the songs. They never get old
People grow older, but the music stays the same. But there's something magical though about 60s and 70s for sure
The sixties had a different take on music than we do today. A lot of what they sung about were things going on at that time. Today is a joke.
They were memorable
It was a time before the non-musician label execs told the artists what to play and how to play it…they just let them have at it and magic was made. Sadly those days are long gone…
@@keeranimal8way before boy/ girl bands and Disney bands. So much tripe out there on the radio now. They never play today's real music but it's out there.
I had a girlfriend around this time (1967) that had long beautiful auburn hair and when we would hung out in her room, she was always crocheting something. She was very fast, and her stitches were perfectly formed & spaced. So, one day I asked her, how do you do that? "Come here and I'll show you". Long story short...I was all thumbs, I couldn't get it right at all and I remember her looking at me, saying, "you've got to pickup every stitch" otherwise it gets to be a mess. I think Donovan must have had a similar experience and just started rhyming lines that went with this statement.
I assumed he meant you have to nag every problem but wtf in general are these lyrics, lol
I really enjoyed reading this comment. Thank you for posting.
BLESSING TO ALL WOMEN.....MYSTICAL FEMALE..........SO SPECIAL AND EVEN SGARRAY.......MYSTIC LIFE SO LOVE FEMALES....BVLESSINGS.
That’s just so freaking beautiful man I envy you boomers and 60s kids who had such a great generation on music and this is coming from a 22 year old Listening to this in October 2021 cause it’s spooky season
She may have been a witch💜 ; )
Donovan biopic starring Kristen Stewart
Who the ef is Alice hahah yes.
💀💀💀💀💀😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Woooooooooooooooooooooow…….. lol
aaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy
LMAOOO
Tbh Donovan would still make a prettier girl. And with more personality.
So many beautiful memories with this beautiful song ❤
A real car-stopper for me when it was published in 1966. Still gives me goose pimples.
I wonder if Donovan was sitting in his room thinking, "Wonder what rhymes with witch?"
Witch
Bitch
Wich
Stich
Etc....
Lol! Good one! Ah ah!
All I can think of is ditch and htch! Lol!
hitch
My problem is trying to make "witch" rhyme with "Hillary Clinton".
If you weren't there, you can never get there.
Oh boy. Can't wait to see this song featured in all of the Destiny 2 edits for the next 3 months. 😂
It works well with Eris turning into her new form cutscene pretty well lmao. Was gonna make one for witch queen but this is literally too perfect
This track oozes so much atmosphere. As important as the chords are, the slinkily arhythmic guitar and bass lines are what give this song its paranoid swagger. The way the downbeat gets subsumed by backbeat and syncopation in the verses is awesome and adds a lot to the track’s uneasy groove.
“Sure is strange” indeed
What a great description!
Thanks for that explanation. Useful as I just get lost in the music.
that's a lot of $10 words for this $5 room
Fantastic description. “Uneasy groove”
Subsumed! Love that word. Never thought I'd see it in a RUclips comment section. Bravo! Yes, uneasy is right. And adding to the atmosphere is the sotto voce of the verse morphing into the anguished wail of the chorus.
I don't practice witchcraft, but I approve this song.
And cocaine, do you practice??
I practice witchcraft
@@gia.Cherubini249 no one asked
Jimmy made this so much better
Me and the boys listening to this absolute banger during Season of the Witch 💃💃
The other guys 😁
first thing i thought of when i loaded up the new season day one. had it stuck in my head
It’s October 1st of 2023!!! Must be the season of the witch😎✨🎃
This song is an eerie blend of psychedelic and progressive/goth rock 😁

Happy Halloween everyone 🎃🎃🎃🎃
Timeless piece.
Could have easily been composed and recorded yesterday. Yet here it is some fifty seven years later.
Finest psychedelic tune of the Sixties
ruclips.net/video/YB7664Z3mks/видео.html
Nothing this cool would have been recorded yesterday.
I agree. Music today is boring.
This would be the best opening to a Tarantino style film.
Or scary stories to tell in the dark
I think they used it in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Not sure tho
Quentin Tarantino presents OZ?
ruclips.net/video/zA4OjrpVsiY/видео.html
Also used in the movie More American Graffiti that's where I first heard it late 80s as a kid
Watch out for those Beatniks.. and the Witch..is always there...Classic Donovan!
Beatniks, now that's old 50's lingo from the coffee shop. I'm not sure if the hippy is a descendent of those cool man cool daddy o beatniks or not. I like the Edd Byrnes song "Kookie Kookie Lend Me Your Comb".
Donovan has the most cool unique songs! Who else is listening in 2022
Never charted, never released as a single, still managed to become a classic rock staple. 55 years later, this is just as great as ever.
Or the other way around. Probably reciprocal.
Still stands up now.....classic!!!!
ruclips.net/video/YB7664Z3mks/видео.html
This song came out in 1966, I remember hearing it frequently on the radio in the late 1960s, especially when I lived in San Francisco in 1968.
IMO, Gus Van Sant's movie 'To Die For' (Nicole Kidman) probably did more to promote this tune than anything else. Al Kooper & Steven Stills did a very good musical version on 'Super Session' as well.
The season of the witch is approaching.
Its here boo. Look.
Meredith Bennett WOW😵
Its here
Its here
DOES DONOVAN KNOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE HIM???? WE DO.
this tune beckons all the witches of the world to rise up and rock the world.....
In my top ten.♥ Lyrics are very deeply esoteric.
now we can say: ITS THE SEASON OF THE WITCH
why bro
Im guessing you "looked out your window"
@Allen Trey noted
Neo-pagans are becoming just as annoying as evangelical xtians.
Happy samhain
A great talent from the 1960 "s I hope the younger folks can, dig it. Peace and Love
I’m 15 and I love the 60s music!
I'm 15 too I don't listen to much 60's music but I absolutely love this song!
My drummer just turned me onto Donovan. How I made it 30 years without hearing this, I’ll never know!
I’m 13 and all I listen to is 50s and 60s music!
✌ ❤
This song is as cool as it gets folks. Nothing comes close to this beauty in this time of age.
Happy October 2023 everyone!!
Destiny 2 reminding me of this classic
Sure is strange how we all have been listening to this lately.
I saw Donavan live. It was just him and his guitar. He was so great. It was a beautiful evening.
This is the theme song for the new season in Destiny 2.
Donovan's music and songs were the most unique of all in that era.
This song never fails to make me feel like I'm walking on a crisp Fall day, wearing my favorite sweater, red and yellow leaves drifting underneath my boots.
True,and seeing all the ghosts and skeletons hanging in the trees blowing in the wind.
Let's be honest, this song didn't come up in our recommendations. We searched for it.
Is that our Queen Sofia Lilis?
Who is "we" all those with pumpkin pie hair styles?
Actually it was on my recommendations...
Came here from 'The Simpsons'.
Facts
The end of "To Die For"
If 2020 has a song, must be The Season of the Witch.
You're right 💀
It's the truth
If February had a song.........
Covid 19 . Still rockin
Yes
The Hurdy Gurdy man was so under rated. A great musician.
Far from underrated. Maybe not mainstream such as The Beatles but just about everyone that comes across his tunes ends up hooked . It's timeless .

House MD trippin' L to this was hilarious. Great song choice for the scene!
I had a friend in jr. high whose dad was a Seattle Police Officer and he would work the concerts so things didn't get out of control. The first concert I went to was Donovan. He came out in a long white robe and there were flowers covering with entire stage. I've never forgotten how cool he was. Amazing guy!
Wow small world. My father was an SPD officer when I was a teenager. I used to get let in a half hour before they opened the doors. It was all ways festival seating so I sat wherever I wanted. Saw a lot of band sound checks and warm ups. It was awesome!
i went to a dov concert in seattle, was a solo appearence. so cool.

Lucky gal
Smoked weed with two SPD's at Pink Floyd at Hec Ed pavilion in 73 on the south stairs. Thought we were being busted at first! Gave me a whole different view of Law Enforcement.
Who else is preparing for Sauin~ Samhain and our Lady 🌕 this weekend? Blessings to All. ♥️🌿
This time period was the golden age of music I glad I was there listening 😊
happy halloween yall :)
There's so much to like about this classic song. Happy October everyone! 😍🎃🧟👻

I was born in 1990 and I say the same thing all the time. Born in the wrong time period.
Born in 78'. Same
Happy Halloween 2023!
Love watching Chloe Moretz dance to this song in Dark Shadows.
This song brings out my teen years. Smoking pot and just tripping out. The norm for the 60's and 70's! Flower Children unite!
Hi, Liz. Could I ask if you remember the ‘60s band Coven? They were fronted by Jinx Dawson. I’ve been wanting to ask people who were actually around to witness the mid to late ‘60s firsthand if they knew about the band Coven at the time. Have you heard of Coven or Jinx Dawson? I’ve been hoping to find people who actually saw Coven perform, or even just knew something about them, during the mid to late ‘60s.
I was there with you passing that joint at golden gate park?
There's a book called Season of the Witch(Named after this song of course) about the turbulent history of San Francisco between 1967 and 1982. It's a good read if San Francisco is special to you, if you like that period of history, or if you just want to read a really good book.
This aged better than any cover of it!

In the 90's...I was a bouncer at a gentleman's club. A dancer by the name of "Fantasia" danced to this song every night. It always reminds me of her. She was a mystery and a phantom all in one. Loved the long nights with her after hours. I hope you are well Veronica. ❤

Donovan singing like he is afraid of witches
Lana singing like she is that witch
Tru & she is ✨
She is isnt she??
You literally copied this comment from lana's comment section, don't say that its just a coincidence, i know you copied it
Satulico loco and what to do with that ? Is it a crime?
Whatever, we all know Donovan was a witch decades before Lana was even born
i can remember when Wolfman Jack played this on the radio we had to go to confession twice that week all because we liked it. lol
True story??? That's crazy 😁
Thanks God I was raised Methodist! In other words I never had to go to confession.
Must be the season of the joint
The atmosphere, the melody, the voice of singer... no one can beat this version, to me.
I'm here b/c of lana, but you may be right - it's groovy AF.
Must be the season of the witch.
Dr. John's version from BB2K was pretty good, too.
give Hole’s version of this song a try !!
