I came back to this song because of the film "A Walk Among the Tombstones" - plays in the truck when the evil guys are stalking their prey... never read the book the movie's made from, but if the song isn't mentioned in the book, I'm guessing they picked the song because one of those two guys in the truck is named Ray...
my mom had this album under her bed along with other albums, for years when I was a kid. I'd play and always see them under there. When I got a bit older she gave me all of her albums. Will never forget this album and the artwork on the cover. reminds me of her. she passed away in 2018 at 69 yrs old. miss her so much.
God bless u been there music is how I'm even getting threw each day that's for real way to much death in my life but just look up keep looking up man they are all there
I want to dedicate this song to my brother Billy. He was beat down to this song gangland style by 3 men at a bar. Justice caught up with these men but I will always remember my brother Billy. Rest easy my friend
I'm 42 now, but I've been loving Donovan since I found Hurdy Gurdy Man in my fathers LP collection. Thank you for all the good times you have given me.
I remember in May, '68, three college guys and I drove straight down to Miami Beach from Detroit......24 hours plus. We had the radio on the whole way and "Atlantis" came on numerous times. Great song, Donovan! Donovan gave us his wonderful gift of music. IN quality AND quantity.
I oftern told my children (now grown-ups) of the magic time the 60s were where the most amazing, diverse and innovative music could suddenly pop out of a record or the radio.
I was in 8th grade when this awesome song came out... Those are the memories I have of this since it was really at that age I started paying attention to music! The "good old days". Never thought I'd be old enough to say THAT!! Actually all Donovan songs are great! When music was music...
A groovy song from my younger days. I first heard this song in the summer of 1968 on my little transistor radio before I went to bed on a Saturday night. Hail Atlantis!
I dated a girl when I lived in Florida and we had nothing to do but walk around and listen to music on shared ear buds, and Donovan was among the artists we listened to. I also blew the speakers connected to my record player listening to Hurdy Gurdy Man years ago when I was 16. Nothing but good times with his music. Thought I'd share a couple good memories. Peace to all.
let me guess,,blew the speakers during the Hurdy Gurdy man solo lol Great solo on that,even for bass, I learned the bass line recently..it moves along,even the bass part is moving,,,you cant really hear the bass part outside of the roots but there is a fine bass line to this solo and song. Those are good memories,thanks for sharing!
+ManClimbTree - Xclnt story man! Oh Florida wow! Can so imagine the 'sunshine superman' there and feeling 'mellow yellow'. Did you 'catch the wind' watching the 'hurdy gurdy man be a 'writer in the sun?' 'Remember the Alamo' as the 'little tin soldier' sang 'young girl blues' in his 'turquoise' pants as 'the war drags on' in 'sunny south kensington'. It is the 'season of the witch' with 'jennifer juniper' 'to try for the sun' as 'josie' and 'the three king fishers' wrote the 'ballad of a crystal man' on 'sand and foam' at a beach. 'The fat angel' believes 'there is a mountain' near 'Atlantis' with many 'colors' because 'happiness runs' all through the 'ballad of geraldine' and at the end of the day 'I love my shirt' with 'riki tiki tavi' mongoose is gone written on it.
always thought that donovan was years ahead of his time.. just could listen to him for hours his music helped me through a lot of hard times.. love ya keep on making music
How I loved, and still love, DONOVAN, from the time I was 12 years old. He sang Jennifer Juniper (juniper being my nickname from my big sister) and we felt he wrote it for me. To this day, I am sure he did! And this song got played so many times it began to skip on the record player...wonderful how many people won't have a clue what I am talking about LOL hail Atlantis!!
Donovan was an innovator during this time of Rock n Roll. His songs, His voice were so intellectual to me. I appreciate all of His music as well as that of Pink Floyd, Yes, The Moody Blues, America, The Beatles, Grand Funk Railroad, Bread and The Byrds. Yes, I also enjoyed The Heavy Metal Music of that era as well. Classic Rock n Roll. Best Regards To All
TOMMY: I like this one. One dog goes one way and the other goes the other. MOTHER: One's going east, the other’s going west. So what? TOMMY: And this guy's saying, "Whaddya want from me?" The guy's got a nice head of white hair. Beautiful. The dog it looks the same. JIMMY: Looks like somebody we know. TOMMY: Without the beard! Oh no, it's him! It's him.
I remember my dad playing this in the car a lot when I was 6, we use to sing along to it. It entranced me in such a convincing manner, I can't explain it but I still feel the same way listening to it now. I'm glad my dad is still around so we can keep listening to this together.
I remember seeing Goodfellas when it first came out, on a really huge old style picture palace movie screen and I have to say I damn near fell out of my seat when I heard Donovan's Atlantis playing to Billy Batts getting shitkicked. How Martin came to make that choice I will never understand but somehow...somehow as usual, it was perfect.
I was a teenager first time met Donovan's songs. I think now I get mature, at lease much more mature than before. I still feel the urge of crying when listening to this song.
I saw Donovan many years ago, in Pittsburgh, as the opening act for Yes concert. An unexpected treat. He did, like, 15 encores. Yes was great, but I don't think anyone there would have complained if he had done 15 more. Awesome show!
To the person who commented "Who is here because of Good Fella's"? I am here because of Donovan who is one of the greatest lyricists and story tellers there ever was! Just open your mind and listen very intently to his music with eyes closed and you will hear and feel his magic! By the way, I am 67 years young and he played a big part in my Daughter's life as a Honest Musician. Mariah Dawn Shepherd and the Covert Dragon. Donovan Rocks!!!❤

Good Fellas. One of my all time favorites !!! When a movie can make me laugh while people are being murdered ??? I'm a Christian, can;t help it, that movie was great !!!
I was 4 when this composition came out and I swear it was one of the first sings first I remember and my mom said every time it played I began to smile. Thanks Donovan.
Donovan - Atlantis The continent of Atlantis was an island Which lay before the great flood In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean So great an area of land, that from her western shores Those beautiful sailors journeyed To the South and the North Americas with ease In their ships with painted sails To the East Africa was a neighbor, across a short strait of sea miles The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture The antediluvian kings colonized the world All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth On board were the Twelve: The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends Though Gods they were And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new Hail Atlantis! Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah I want to see you some day My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah My antediluvian baby My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl I want to see you some day My antediluvian baby, oh yeah I want to see you some day, oh My antediluvian baby My antediluvian baby, I want to see you My antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she gone I want to see you some day Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah Oh glub glub, down down, yeah My antediluvian baby
This song will forever remind me of my first love at 16. My heart was broken when we went our separate ways. He has since transitioned. I still think of him now and then especially when I listen to this beautiful song. Do we ever forget our first love?
Lots of songs are like that. I can't hear Glad Tidings without thinking of Tony Blundetto with half his face blown off. Bad n' Ruin was playing when Blundetto gunned down those other people in the first place. I was walking around work one day whistling Easy Street by the Collapsible Hearts Club. Some chick looked at me really weird, like hearing that song put her back in that cell with Daryl. Sometimes the TV can tinge a song with weirdness forever.
@@assassingamer5983 , It wouldn't surprise me if Martin Scorsese deliberately decided to use this song because it starts peacefully and contrasts with the violence that follows in the Billy Batts scene.
This is such an usual hit song. Almost half of it is just monologue with a beautiful instrumental in the background and the rest of it is just the chorus(that hits really hard, by the way). People were just open to more experimental songs back then
I have not heard this song for 50 years . It is Nicky Hopkins on piano , his style was so great . Jimmy Page on electric guitar ? Maybe Big Jim Sullivan on guitar . Great song .
Love Donovan's music. One of my favorite songs is Billion Dollar Babies! Yes.....I know, that's Alice Cooper. AC, while recording BDB's went to the studio next door where Donovan was also recording and asked him if he'd like to do a duet. Perfect! Donovan's part on Billion Dollar Babies is priceless. Him and Alice should have done more back then.
So many thanks Sir Donovan Phillips Leitch, God bless you and your family for your compositions and your music.. I saw you live at Viana do Castelo, With your lovely daughter, Keith Richards and his son. A breakheart concert.

Some of the best music of our age
I was 4 when this composition came out and I swear it was one of the first sings first I remember and my mom said every time it played I began to smile. Thanks Donovan.
Some of his masterpieces...I still love his music all those many many years.
Please record some audio books so we might listen to that beautiful voice forever...this is also one of his best songs he recorded......
I love Atlantis. I go into another place when I hear it.
We’re not running away, we’re going to end this here and now.
Pasta la vista.
Way down below the shinebox

Go get your fuckin shinebox
They had a serious problem with Billy Batts. You see, Batts was a made guy and a part of the Gambino family and was considered untouchable.
Matt na na na he insulted him a little bit...

Remember when music like this was almost an every day occurrence. Oh well, at least I still have my memory and RUclips.
Donovan - Atlantis
The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed
To the South and the North Americas with ease
In their ships with painted sails
To the East Africa was a neighbor, across a short strait of sea miles
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture
The antediluvian kings colonized the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends
Though Gods they were
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis!
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be
Way down below the ocean where I want to be she may be
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I want to see you some day
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
My antediluvian baby
My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl
I want to see you some day
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah
I want to see you some day, oh
My antediluvian baby
My antediluvian baby, I want to see you
My antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she gone
I want to see you some day
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah
Oh glub glub, down down, yeah
My antediluvian baby
Aaltsje Ypeij very good job
#CopyPasteDat💩
@@Mucho-Taco yeah he took the effort :)
Amazing
Classic
This song was always so kick ass the way it built to a crescendo!! HAIL ATLANTIS
HAIL ATLANTIS!!!
Great music. Moronic lyrics.
@@walterceuppens6988 Who asked?
@@walterceuppens6988You just didn‘t get it. Listen to it now, while the elders of OUR time choose to remain
blind.
God there just isn't artistic talent like this in today's Music Truth!
Are you nuts?
Taylor Swift blows this fake, English goof out of the water....
hands down!👀.....''Merika baby''! .....🪖💆♀
This song will forever remind me of my first love at 16. My heart was broken when we went our separate ways. He has since transitioned. I still think of him now and then especially when I listen to this beautiful song. Do we ever forget our first love?
No we don’t. Ever ever. My heart still hurts at times. What a time it was though❤
When you say transitioned, do you mean passed on? Or transitioned like turned into a woman?
Passed on.
One of the most peaceful songs ever created... Yet I think of a guy getting his face stomped
Exactly....so mellow and peaceful.....and Scorsese made it probably the most gangsta song in history.
Lots of songs are like that. I can't hear Glad Tidings without thinking of Tony Blundetto with half his face blown off. Bad n' Ruin was playing when Blundetto gunned down those other people in the first place. I was walking around work one day whistling Easy Street by the Collapsible Hearts Club. Some chick looked at me really weird, like hearing that song put her back in that cell with Daryl. Sometimes the TV can tinge a song with weirdness forever.
It's all abt the correspondences and the inversion of reality on this planet
I think mario and luigi vs john gotti
@@assassingamer5983 , It wouldn't surprise me if Martin Scorsese deliberately decided to use this song because it starts peacefully and contrasts with the violence that follows in the Billy Batts scene.
That moment when you're being beaten to death but you hear this song.
Sound like a song for a ending of a video game or show
When you’re forced to face down a pond of water and get drown, this song will be played in your head😂😅
Itd be a sweet death
When God begins to call the soul from the body.
Relatable, man De Niro and Pesci hit and kick hard
Heard it at 15 on WLUP in Chicago. Around ‘83. Always loved it! Love Donovan !
Drinks are on the house.
MAKES MALTA, UH, SENS!!!!!
No no no, have the drink with me.
Jack Grimaldi no no no no, billy billy, drinks are on the house
@@chefbeefsalsa2938
Fucking break up my party
I`ll take it! Anytime!
Esta música serviu-me de terapia, muitas vezes, durante a Guerra Colonial. Ouvir Donovan passados 50 anos é voltar à Juventude!!!!!
This is such an usual hit song. Almost half of it is just monologue with a beautiful instrumental in the background and the rest of it is just the chorus(that hits really hard, by the way). People were just open to more experimental songs back then
1:48 Close the door!!!
THERE YSNT A DOORR ANYMORE, EZEKIEL/SENS, KABASSA AMEN KABASSA, AVE!!!!!!!
When you close the door, you raise up the volume up, just like the movie Goodfellas.
Yup ....that's a gooder
Get the door!!!
"I’ll shoot him in his big f***ing mouth! I’ll shoot him!"
this was on my Granddad's Mixtape from High school. Such a great song.
Donovan's greatest hits only began featuring Atlantis after 1990.
"You can take our lives but you can't take our freedom, John Gotti. Pasta la vista."
- Mario
Now go home and get your fucking shinebox
@@LeJobastre1215 lol
I have not heard this song for 50 years . It is Nicky Hopkins on piano , his style was so great . Jimmy Page on electric guitar ? Maybe Big Jim Sullivan on guitar . Great song .
Love Donovan's music. One of my favorite songs is Billion Dollar Babies! Yes.....I know, that's Alice Cooper. AC, while recording BDB's went to the studio next door where Donovan was also recording and asked him if he'd like to do a duet. Perfect! Donovan's part on Billion Dollar Babies is priceless. Him and Alice should have done more back then.
"No no no no, you offended him a little bit. You were out of order yourself."
This gives me goosebumps.
This song made the scene! R.I.P Frank Vincent
You can take our lives but you can’t take our freedom, John Gotti. Pasta La Vista.
In loving memory of all the People He "MURDERED".
2:34
"You cannoli longer run. I have my men surrounding your shitty apartment."
The way he said "Hail Atlantis!!!"... That was the moment the acid kicked in!!! 😁😁😁
So many thanks Sir Donovan Phillips Leitch, God bless you and your family for your compositions and your music..
I saw you live at Viana do Castelo, With your lovely daughter, Keith Richards and his son.
A breakheart concert.
