Donovan says
'It was all impromptu. I visited the studio and David said ...
'Sit at the mics with your guitar Don'.
David in same room behind control desk with my Linda.
He had asked me to only bring in a song just emerging, not anywhere near finished.
We would see what happens. It happened!
I composed extempore ... the verses came naturally. New chord patterns effortlessly appeared.
On another day David 'Sound Sculpted' my Ferrington acoustic guitar 'Kelly' and he played his unique Modal Chord Ferrington Guitar textures with ‘Effects'.
David and I are 'Compadres' on a creative path rarely travelled.
And we bring TM Meditation to the world.
This Collaboration between David & I is an Appeal for Donations to help Donovan & Linda give TM Meditation to Cork Students.

I AM THE SHAMAN
Yon wheeling of great stars has cast a silver web around my heart
On an Elfin Sea in a Ship of Filigree
And look upon her prow - a sign upon her brow
She guides us on our way when hearts they go astray
Lorelei Lorelei who will dry your pretty eyes
Lorelei as you fly around those starry skies
Lorelei why O why why O why O Lorelei
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
All those wheeling of great stars they cast a spell on me
As I wander through the stars Linda Love and me
I don’t know how I got here but I know where I go
As I wander all I know all I know
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman

He still has that magic of originality in voice, sound, delivery and song writing......one of the greats
From the amazing Hurdy Gurdy Man to the mystical, magickal Shaman...Donovan is a Master storyteller, singer, and songwriter. I have been a fan since 1968, and I will follow him and his galactic music till the end of my days.
Same here Cynthia, I totally agree. I'll follow Donovan's music as long as I breathe. Just purchased his new CD Gaelia, I've heard the 13 tunes, they are astounding ! Very Gaelic, but totally Donovan.
I always enjoyed Donavan
Forgotten until recently but yes, this is a very creepy song for him
I did a short tour with him and played drums on Lady of the Stars and it's one of my favorite tracks I've done. He's as humble as he appears.
Nice one…👍😊✨
Glad to hear that..when was it? Aloha

A real hippie He helped the Beatles come out of the mid 60s Revolver & Rubber Soul. Hence Sgt Pepper & MMTour. His guitar playing too. A real nice fella. No sarcasm which makes a change on social media.
with a healing way
Shoutout to fellow Americans who recognize the importance of this man’s body of work. There aren’t a great many of us. Hypnotic song, this.
Been listening to him from 1964 on
Why only Americans?
Not only Americans of course.
I mentioned them because throughout my entire life of loving music, there were few friends, family members, or acquaintances who truly appreciated Donovan’s influence and brilliance.
Aye aye
my dad used to love Donovan's music, and lyrics... he used to read the lyrics loud for me. He got cancer a year ago, and passed away the 23th of april. i wish he would read these lyrics loud for me....
Listen carefully and you might hear them ...
This is from the David Lynch foundation which he's part of. He's an obvious advocate and practitioner of Transcendental Meditation. 🤗🥳👍
A good thing!
😂or Alistair Crawley. Perplexing
@@bruceanglais7584 I'm sure he knows about Aleistor Crowley with out the need to convolute or distort what he was all about. ;)
you definitely convoluted distorted everything about him hahaha.The whole act is set up as a promotion of transcendental meditation .Aleistor Crowley could have used some of dat . haha
I'd like to give him a big hug, but you know what they say, "Please don't squeeze the Shaman."
😅🤣
😅
It looks as if he`d break in half if you did squeeze him.
🤣🤣🤣
You just showed your age:))) I love pun's!
Mr. Leitch still brings it at 75. Happy birthday, sir!
Donovan's voice really aged well. I'm so glad we didn't lose him of drugs or bad health.
hes still going!!
Relax he's been doing the good ones
Such a change from others that should have retired. I feel bad for those who have lost their ability to sing well, but there is a time sometimes to retire. Donovan however still sounds great.
Hes a healer. Shaman. Didnt upset anyone so was not killed off. Helps.
@@focusandefficiency9359Karmic Justice ❤⚖️ 🙌 🎶
How much poorer our lives would be without the mystical, enchanted Donovan to take us to places only he can imagine.
My son is named after Donovan, after “Catch the Wind” came on my Pandora one night during my first (and tumultuous trimester)- bringing the only peace I’d felt in ages.
The more I dig into his work, the more and more delighted I become in having chosen this name for my amazing little human! Love, courage, and clarity to all.
That’s cool af I just barely found out about him and my pops named me Donovan I wonder if it’s for his music
Please do a full album collaboration. This is astonishing.
I hope we're so lucky!
They already did, (well, half of it anyway) with 'Ritual Groove' in 2010.
@@daevpaeldruid8200 so long and thanks for all the fish.
Been following Donovan since I was a kid in the 70’s. Have most of his records on vinyl. This gentleman is still relevant in the circle of singer-songwriter-performing artists.
I love that!
I agree a full album long over due!!! He still sounds Great!!!
If you ask collaboration put Lanois Donovan and Gilmour together and acoustic of course.
It's so eerie how someone can miss a person they've never met, but goodness Donovan- I find myself thinking of him and his work as often as I think of people I've known a long time. I feel a stronger connection and understanding with him and his work than I do my own mother.
He has always been an original, unique artist. I'm so glad that he is still making his music.
Donovan is timeless.
word
I had the pleasure of meeting this genius in a radio station in Donegal. He let me play a few chords on “Kelly” and chatted for ages. A polite unassuming gentleman. They don’t come any better
Beautiful ❤️
Nice to hear. ❤️
This has quickly grown into my top 20 tunes of all time. It's just so 'Donovan' and to me he IS the Shaman. He's always been there, from when I was 10 to present. I became a session musician because of him. And when I bumped into him after watching him play in Manchester, UK he was cemented in my heart. I shook his hand but was so in awe that I couldn't string a sentence together so he clapped his other hand on mine, laughed and gave me a hug. I was only 20 at the time and probably looked like a thug! Don is a deity.
Fantastic and no doubt true!
The fact that Donovan & David Lynch, 2 of my heroes, are buddies who work together really makes me smile. Donovan looks beautiful like this, I hope I age half as well
THey are fellow cultists, dude.

❤ very nice !! Donovans cousin was a good friend, miss u ceil!! Good job, Donovan , I am happy you're still rocking !!❤
This is actually a brilliant composition, how it suddenly changes mood, yet this contrast works so well to make an enthralling song.
An Absolute legend who should be held in even higher regard than he already is.
Beautiful, within and without. Donovan is a blessing on this world...and the next.
Of all his songs, "Wear Your Love Like Heaven" will last forever for its sheer uniqueness and beauty alone.
"Sand and Foam" for me.
I'm a little late seeing this, but Donovan after all these years can still mesmerize me with a few notes of a song. Lots of Love and Peace to you Donovan!
Two masters of shining light in the darkness. Stunning.
My God, what an original and surprising composition! Donovan is a wellspring of creativity. It's in his blood. The lyrics, melody, and his voice fuse into a moving and haunting singularity. It is captivating. Long live Donovan AND his music!!!
Beautiful lyrics and so heart touching.... How do you feels listening to it?
@@frankrobert4897 I feel deeply moved and yet unsettled, as if the song rumples the underpinnings of ordinary life, calls for deeper examination of actions and values.
Of course it's in his blood - Donovan's Scottish!
Holy shit after all these years donovan came back with awesome music
He never went away. He released 6 studio albums of new songs and some previously unreleased songs between 2002 and 2013.
I am gobsmacked.
@@daevpaeldruid8200 2013 was years ago
I assumed he was Dead!
@@LoseTheWorld-KeepYourSoul Everyone responds in their own way and there is beauty in that.
This is the man who introduced me to live music in 1971, I was 14 and never looked back.
Beautiful lyrics and so heart touching.... How do you feels listening to it?
Literally every single hair on my head stood up straight watching this. Positively electrifying...
I'm bald so unfortunately it didn't for me.
That reversed chorus is awesome. Sounds like he is singing in the Black Lodge. Really cool to see that staple Lynch technique being used to make eerie music.
Think this was recorded in the black lodge, right next to the formica table.
Remind me of the quizatsatterak from livejournal 17 years ago
@@resistor27 After the session they all went out for some garmonbozia
Way down below the ocean....she may be. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.
And seaweed clings to ruby rings on the fingers of my lady-o.
Please add words for us old folks who followed this amazing artist in our youth!
Donavan remains a music icon. Belongs in the Music Hall of Fame for his body of work over all the years - Johan Marais South Africa
I had to return and see and hear this again . I had a hard time believing I just heard this .
and again and again and again right? this is this coolest effn thing I've heard (and seen) for god know how long
Me too.And he looks so cool with his long grey hair.
I hope Donovan squeezes out one last great album. Its time again. Time demands a turnaround, and once again.. the truth is found.. it's time for the drones of the sitar, we're in for a new phase.. lead the way o Gaelic bard, Hurdy Gurdy man!
Once many many moons ago, I was at your concert. I was sitting on the floor and couldn't see you. Somehow I levitated up to the level of the stage and could see perfectly. Pretty much nobody believes me. I know it happened. Will never forget you.
@Donovan I live in the pacific northwest near Seattle. I saw you in Seattle, I think it was at the university of Washington maybe around 1970 or thereabouts. You played with a cello player. It was so magical. I see you are a shaman. I'm so glad for you to know how you have made it through all the decades. Love the song.
@Donovan I love them all, but I really like Season of the witch and Dona Dona.
I definitely believe you. 100% . It is just such a unique and rare experience that it is hard for many to come to terms with.
This definitely should have been a dream sequence in Twin Peaks The Return.
How do you know it wasn't?
wow... really agree
Mr Jackpot!!
It was. Don't you remember?
Got a light?
Still wearing my love like heaven.
When we needed him most, he returned. I cannot emphasis how much Donovan has influenced me in like my life and music. An absolute genius. Deserves way more recognition. Not just in his psychedelic music, but his jazz, folk, world music, pop, etc. great video.
Very few now could possibly understand that he was cultural phenomenon in the same way the Beatles were. Before there was Cat, there was Don
@@Magnetron33 exactly, and the way he influenced hundreds of bands, including the Beatles is just crazy. Love how he’s still performing.
@@MC-xv2tn 100%! His influence is so understated it is incredible. He knows and so do we.
Yes, he did very electic albums of which I have, especially the early ones with jazz, world music, etc. This song isn't new, was very impressed when I heard it a few years ago. I met him at a concert with Arlo Guthrie with his black and green guitar, impressive presence.
Donovan still riding Cosmic Wheels of sound. Always original and unique in his approach to music.
The dimension of spirit remains undimmed in this man!
Guitar is nice. Voice is as wonderful as ever.
Donovan
This is magic
May the great Tantra overcome illusion
Most magical music heard in a long time
Can't believe I never heard this one 👰🥞
When I saw it I was surprised
Check out
Ferris wheel by Donovan though that’s his best
Still good to see he has kept faithful to his mystic path
Yea whitcraft very dangerous
Funny to think David Lynch is supporting the "troubadour" Donovan. Who was our romantic icon, with his great ballads in our hearts and thoughts. Wish he would have kept singing tunes as To Try for the Sun, Little Tin Soldier, To Sing for You, Catch the Wind or Universal Soldier. Liked as well his Remember the Alamo, though there's is too Johnny Cash version, which is a good one. But Donovan had répertoire enough to remain hearing and buying him. For me, he was kind of a dreamer, but an interesting and sensitive one. I keep hearing this first Donovan, and am still open to anything else he can create. A poet with a clean and friendly, and clever mind. Nice music, to think and feel. Wish you all the best, dear pal. And thanks so many for your nice company. 🙄😇🙏🆗✔️
I met him when I was having breakfast at a New Jersey Hotel. He was staying there with his wife. What nice people. They kindly took pictures with my wife and me. A really good guy.
This is the man that taught John and Paul the finger-picking guitar technique that dominated the White Album in '68 while tripping in India.
My journey with Donovan began in the mid sixties, walking along a beautiful beach, transistor radio to my ear, Sunshine Superman playing to sounds of breaking waves and seagulls.
Roll forward over half a century, several concerts seen and all records purchased and heard many times.
Now we have this! Totally amazing and still mind blowingly great.
Donovan, minstrel and guru, poet and mentor, you have guided me through my life's journey.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Yeahmon, he is THE SHAMAN!!!!
digging it...a true troubadour for the ages. Love ya man...peace, love and light...and dark too, and why not? One won’t exist without the other...
David Lynch doesn't disappoint 😎

Man, I had a dream similar to this, and today when I opened YT the first video recommendation was this and I never searched for Donovan or David Lynch ever.... Crazy
His voice is still so clear.
Really wish he would do some live performances in this vein. These days when he does shows it's always a night of reminiscing and playing old hits, which is always nice but I really crave some mystic vibes and organic psychedelic soul like this from the master.
Forever love Donovan. He is the last of a very rare breed. A breed of writer/dreamer/poet/musician so rare we cant even put a name to it. Those glory days of the 60's are gone, but he's still with us. Its a miracle that he's still standing, period. Let alone still standing strong in his conviction of who he is. Which in a word is different. Different is what we need. His catalog of work is so vast, so precious, and so brilliant. Still singing of stars and the sea. :) Thank you from the very DEPTHS of the ocean of my heart Donovan. You have always been my #1 inspiration.
Not a huge fan of the eye liner, but you have aged so well. Im just happy to hear anything new you put out. NEVER STOP! :)
Couldn't have put that better, nice words...
@@davidratcliffe6001 Thanks David. :)
Lovely and apt comment!
Thank you thank you thank you Donovan. I love you forever.
wow... i loved donovan's music for so many years... nice to see him and hear him now!
spent an hour backstage in his prime. what a fine gentleman.
Funny, I bought a copy of Donovan's Mellow Yellow album today at a great record shop in North Adams MA, got home and listened to side one with my wife. Excited to hear some songs from Donovan I hadn't heard in years, Writer in the Sand especially. I turn on youtube and what do you know? New Donovan, and it is good, cosmic wheels a rollin' across the sky, somehow leading me back to Donovan. I'm cool with that.
A fantastic Donovan/David Lynch mind-meld. Of course they’re perfect collaborators. Donovan has always known who he is and has never given in to the whims of the music industry or the sniping of his detractors. He was and remains a singular voice, and his music carries vivid associations and memories for me. How wonderful to see him still creating, still dreaming.
The first thing I love in 2021. The video was uploaded on Donovan's birthday, so happy birthday 💗 also a big thanks to the great Lynch for this amazing video.
I never thought Donovan would scare me but he does a pretty good job of it here!
Lmao
I'm sorry but I must agree with you. Not to mention he's lost all his looks sadly.
True - way too dark. It makes me uneasy in my soul.
Not sure what he was going for...but he succeeded.
you can thank David Lynch for that
Is it me or did anyone else Just take a mystical outer dimensional trip? 💫🌌
YES
ditto
YES! LIKE THE OLD DAYS!
Yes
No It’s You! Settle down and get some rest!
No problem Don, you are the Shaman and more. Been with you from the start, great to see a new single from the hurdy gurdy man. Love, love, love.....
This is as great as Season of the Witch or Sunshine Superman or Atlantis! Gives me goosebumps!! So in love with this tune and this obviously mystical noble spirit. Gratitude Donovan!
I would say, maybe a bit better.
As ethereal as this is, it's also very Earthy, of the Earth. I can feel the living roots. But there is also the water. It is transcendent.
This is where hearts go when they go astray. Thank you David and Donavan.❤🌷
Happy Birtday. Just read about Donovans 75th birtday in our newspaper. Didn`t think about him for the last 40 or more years. Great und unexpected listenable new track!
Killer track.
Donovan X David Lynch...Purely Psychedelic
Love it.. I remember meeting you Donovan several times in Denmark Street in London! Decades ago!
I'm a simple man. I know David Lynch is involved, I hit Like.

Happy Birthday, shaman king! Thanks for all the years of magical music
Happy to see you alive, and thank you for your Music.
This was such an incredible surprise, I was not expecting this notification at all. This truly makes me so happy right now, what a gorgeous song ❤️ !!
Happy birthday Donovan, may you have wonderful days surrounded of your loved ones. I can't express how much I love all these beautiful songs you've created. Thank you for sharing them with us! 💛 Greetings from Chile.
Good to see and hear you again! Always picture you in an English garden while your singing.
You are the Sunshine Superman!
That was far-out. Donovan is still the high priest of the psychedelic world.
Lol, brilliant!
I'm just like hello me scrolling through RUclips. It's like that because we all share the same energy cycle. Different everytime too. It's like the planet is dead alive at the same time and gains energy through the cycling process of death-life, which might be some of the reason organism evolve smaller and more compact to allow room. 🤔
Also, there is a continuous gain from the cycling energy plus the 🌞 which biologically means 1+1=3 given that organisms grow more compact. It is like the planet is also one ecosystem, kinda like a bee hive but not exactly. Magic is real, and in many other ways. You cannot follow randomn chaos, that is life, you can only ride it to your destination...which seems better since matter itself organizes itself all on it's own. However, I think this is a tangent and I'm gonna chill.
@@Someguywithnoneoftheanswers I'd agree and I think you are not far from what many people in non-western spiritual communities believe, especially mystics. Not far from what the cats in the West like Ram Dass, Tim Leary and Terrace McKenna would say as well. We do not understand all of the processes and forces in nature but we fool around with and abuse the ones that we do so there is a large part of me that hopes that we never harness all of the forces that are out there. At least, until we do a lot of evolving. I do believe in and agree with what you wrote about Gaia Theory of the earth. As for following random chaos, I'd say that it is all random on this lower plane of consciousness but all perfectly organized on another higher level. I'd also agree that surrendering (and living in a state of grace) to it to ride to your destination is the way to go.
@@rft2001 oh that's Gaia theory? It's like playing tag with myself for knowledge. It never ends, because it changes. Change is the only constant in all sciences.
I thought I heard it all . Believed I had seen it all. I was sure nothing could shake my roots but what I have just heard in this song. Has me convinced I was a fool.
If this is Donovan the voice of Ferris wheel saner person ,this moment I am speechless .
Beyond language to express.
Wow, still in such great voice!
He's still got it!
Awesome what a legend, Still sounding great.A Unique talent.

It's 2021 and there's new music from Donovan. What! This should go right into Hurdy Gurdy Man.
The video is new, the song is not .,
Powerful stuff. Wouldn't mind a whole album from Donovan and Lynch.
Sounds great! Saw this 60's icon @ The Downtown in Farmingdale, NY about 20 years ago. Must be about age 76 now. Had some great hits in his day.
This sounds so pretty and magical!! It sounds like he's channeling the earth spirits and bringing peace and love to us all! I wish I could take enough acid to make a song this good! 💗💗💗☮️
I came here because of a dream I just had tonight. It was towards the end of it, I was driving down a hill on a narrow road. I realized it was narrow due to the cars that were jam packed going the other direction. When I got to the bottom, we went over a bridge and came to a wall that had a painting on a white tunnel. That is where the road ended, but the painting looked like the road kept going. My friends were scared to go through the painting. Said we would never return if we did, but I kept going anyway. I drove right throgh the wall and we kept riding on the highway, but I instantly woke up. The dream just ended there. All while that was happening "The Hurdy Gurdy" man was playing in my dream. The whole experience was quite ominous and gave me chills. I'm not a mystic person, but the experience made me think. This song is hauntingly great.
Just had his 75th birthday May 10, a little shaman told me.
Have loved and listened to you for a decade now, Donny. I'm SO grateful for your existence. Bless your heart.
@Donovan Unfortunately not yet! And that's because I live in Brazil.
Donovan has unlocked his final form! From the Hurdy Gurdy Man to THE SHAMAN. He will no doubt visit the Black Lodge from time to time.
Growing up, my Dad played loads of Donovan, especially HMS and Cosmic Wheels. I was so lucky to meet him when I was 14 and he was doing his Beat Cafe tour. He gave me a fistbump! What a guy.
I really didn't think this was gonna be good. Its sooo good haha
👍one for the shaman and 👍one for Lynch, the Shaman of TV murder mysteries. 🦉
Then somebody spoke, and I went into a dream.
Only psychos and shamans create their own reality

I've been learning to play music in my 40's for the first time. I have this song from my youth as a camp counsellor - Happiness Runs - that tone-deaf me can still sing in tune. Little bit of clicks later and I'm here loving this track. The future is pretty rad.
