I was surprised when I did a search that no Donovan songs appeared on the database. Anyone know a link with a good collection of Donovan Lyrics? |
15 Jul 99 - 10:10 PM (#95644) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: katlaughing Ah, Angus, a man after my own heart! I will have to do some checking, because I think I may have found some for some of his older songs back early this Spring. I also went looking for the lyrics to his cd of last year, "Sutras" and as near as I can figure, based on what other postings I saw in fan sites, he keeps a very tight control on them and hasn't allowed anyone to make them available anywhere; they aren't even on the liner notes, so short of listening & trying to jot them all down, I'm sunk. I will look back in my "history thing" on the 'pewter & see what I found. Hopefully someone else will come to our rescue.Oh, and who cares if he is considered strictly "phoak" or not. The man can write words and sings beautifully. Have you heard Sutras? There's not one song on there that doesn't sounds fabulous. katlaughing |
15 Jul 99 - 11:30 PM (#95671) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: Susan A-R What! No yellow is the color of my true love's hairrr?? Actually, what I really want is the Intergalactic Laxative . A friend of mine had loaned me a Judy Collins, Tom Paxton tape when I was in Germany. I was listening to it while drifting off to sleep, and at the end he'd put this song. All I can remember is If Shitting is your problem when you're out among the stars The intergalactic laxative will get you from here to Mars. Any help with this one (Now DON'T suggest prune juice, please) Susan, the high-minded Donnovan fan. |

Angus, you're right that Donovan doesn't get mentioned much around here........It all gets back to what's folk and we discuss that subject ad nauseum. However, you will find one post about Donovan from me on a favorite love songs thread. One of mine is "Catch the Wind"...if he never did anything else, that one is worth it!!! catspaw

16 Jul 99 - 12:25 AM (#95698) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: Barry Finn Donovan probably did as much folk (maybe more) as any of the others from his early days, trad like Candy Man, Coulter's Candy, Henry Martin, Young But Growing, etc.) as well as Buffy S Marie's "Universal Soldier", Woody' "Car Song", Tom Paxton's "Rambling Boy" as well as many folk covering his material. I always loved his Where Your Love Like Heaven, From A Flower To A Child era, these are the songs I sang years later to my kids & we all loved them & still do. Barry |

I'd like to go back and comment on all your replys - but thanks for the links, thanks for the tips, I agree that Donovan's first two albums were full of traditional folk (and hearing Donovan sing "Remember the Alamo" is truly an intergallactic cross-cultural event if there ever was one). And John in Brisbane, I'm intrigued... I'll try to teach this 49 year old mind something new (and completely different) so that I can translate your contribution.

28 Feb 00 - 03:01 PM (#186324) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: Eric the Viking I have quite a bit of Donovan tab. I didn't write it. I got it sent to me by a guy named Roger Mock, can't find his e-mail address now, but I can copy and pass it on if interested.e-mail me; eric@lackford20.freeserve.co.uk by the way there was always some Dylan Vs Donovan arguement going on in the mid 60's about who was better- I always figured the two were distincly different and love the work of both of them. I play both dylan and Donovan (earlier thread creep!!) I think they both have their place in folk music. I ahve seen both, and have almost everything on vinyl or CD by both of them. Sutras is brilliant, and the "marble arch" records now copied onto various CD's were also good. I wans't too sure about HMS Donovan, but Cosmic wheels!!!!! Yeah man!ride on, peace n love |
28 Feb 00 - 04:11 PM (#186357) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: katlaughing Eric, maybe you can help me figure out which album i had and lost in the 60's to a rat who never returned it? The only think I can remember is it had, I think, a psychedelic cover and have the chaffinch song on it (sorry, it's very vague) as well as the widow on the shore one. Darn it, it would've been new in 1968 or '69, I think. Ring any bells? Thanks, kat |
28 Feb 00 - 05:07 PM (#186386) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: Metchosin kat, I think the album you had was Donovan's "For Little Ones" and the songs were "The Magpie" and "Widow with a Shawl" (a portrait) "dear wind that shakes the barley free. blow home my true loves ship to me,Fill her sails, I a weary wait upon the shore" ring a bell? |
28 Feb 00 - 05:17 PM (#186392) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: Amos As regards the Alamo, there is a trad itional song called REMEMBER THE ALAMO here. The 1960's song by the same name, popularized by the Kingston Trio and Donovan, I do not find in the DT. It goes:
One hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die |

28 Feb 00 - 05:37 PM (#186408) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: Metchosin Hey!.... this guy was one of my favorites! If Dylan can be considered a folky singing "Leopardskin Pillbox Hat" so can Donovan singing "How High the Gulls Fly Oer Islay". I considered it a time of "peace" and "love" and not just a time for acerbic "put down" Dylan's animosity and rudeness towards Donovan, forever put me off Dylan. Some of Dylan's songs are pure genius but he still belongs on a previous thread linking creative genius to personality defects. |

28 Feb 00 - 06:16 PM (#186425) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: Metchosin Amos, I saw a documentary awhile back and if I recall correctly, when Dylan was performing in England in the sixty's he made a remark on stage at the Palladium or someplace like that about Donovan's gender identity. There was also some footage of he and Dylan in a hotel room in England. Dylan was being particularly surly and rude to Donovan, who obiously idolized him. There was also talk here years ago, in Canada at least, that Dylan wrote "Baby Blue", as a put down of Donovan. I think this was covered on other threads, by people more knowledgeable than I, and I haven't read any of the old threads regarding this issue, so this may be a matter of dispute. I'm also finding I really need to seriously consider a regimen of Ginkgo lately. |
28 Feb 00 - 07:13 PM (#186452) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: GUEST,Neil Lowe I saw him on TV a long time ago, when TV was bold enough to occasionally pander to the counterculture. It was on a venue such as "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," but it wasn't that show. He sat cross-legged in the middle of the stage and played (I think), Wear Your Love Like Heaven. When he was done, the audience threw flowers at him. The same show also aired Arlo Guthrie, who did (I think, again) The City of New Orleans. Arlo also discussed the problem of finding a word that rhymed with "orange." The only word he could think of was "door hinge." Neil |
28 Feb 00 - 07:21 PM (#186458) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: Amos Seeking a rhyme for "orange" is a waste of time Easier to move the orange, to make the rhyme. 'Cuz unless you use sounds foreinge There ain't no English word that rhymes with orange. And certainly not dee-range or DOOR hinge! A |
28 Feb 00 - 08:03 PM (#186479) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: katlaughing Metchosin, yes that is the song, but there were two albums which included it. I went out years alter and found one which has it but it wasn't the same album as the first. The second one is light blue sky over a sandy coloured land, with a little bird flying across the sky and it is, I think, live. Donovan is still very much the songwriter/singer. As mentioned before in this thread, his newest CD, "Sutras" is, IMO, superb, not one song on it that I don't love. If anyone ever find the lyrics to any of the Sutras' songs, please let me know. Thanks, kat |
28 Feb 00 - 09:22 PM (#186514) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: Bugsy Amos, In answer to your question, Donovan is still performing and did a tour of Australia a couple of years ago. Whilst he went on a bit about the old days, did a lot of name dropping and was (I think) a little partonising to the audience, his guitar work is still very solid and his voice is a good as ever. All in all I enjoyed the show as did my 25year old son who had never seen him before, and knew very little about his music. Vheers bugsy |

02 Mar 00 - 02:59 AM (#187992) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: Mark Cohen "For Little Ones" is the album that has "The Enchanted Gypsy" and "Song of the Naturalist's Wife" and "Epistle to Derroll" etc. -- it is also part one of a two-record set called "A Gift From a Flower to a Garden", and my ginkgo deficiency is preventing me from remembering the name of the second record in the set. The live album (was it called Donovan Live? I don't think so) is, I think, the one with the bird flying over the sand. I'll have to go back to my record collection and straighten it out. I used to sing "To Try for the Sun" as I'd walk home from the bus stop on cold winter days in Philadelphia. "Our years put together counted thirty"...those were the days. "For Little Ones" started out with the sound of a baby crying. When I first put it on my stereo my mother ran into the room saying "Did I hear a baby?" When I heard "Catch the Wind" I assumed that Donovan started out by trying to be another Dylan, and then moved on to his own stuff. I just keep loving the Mudcat. Where else can you talk about this stuff to people who understand? Aloha, Mark |

05 Mar 00 - 02:13 PM (#189932) Subject: RE: Songs by Donovan From: Peter T. If I remember the story correctly, the first time Donovan met Dylan, Donovan played him a new tune which turned out to be Mr Tambourine Man (probably Donovan had ingested it from some background radio or something). How's that for life's embarrassing moments!!! Dylan decided he was a phony from then on (and when Dylan decided something, that was it forever). (This could, of course, be a completely apocryphal story). God, Season of the Witch, Guinevere. The hours I spent listening to those songs.

It's called "wear your love like heaven," and I bought it a few months ago from a used record store. I have to say that it was a disappointment. I like the title song, but not really anything else. The other Donovan album which I have is called "Catch the Wind," which was released in Britain as "What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid," I believe. I like it much better. To the person who asked for chords to "Celia of the Seals," I found them online recently with lyrics. http://www.fretplay.com/tabs/d/donovan/celia_of_the_seals-crd.shtml I don't own many of Donovan's albums, but I sometimes listen to his songs on a free music listening website that a friend showed me. It's http://listen.grooveshark.com I am too young to have lived in his era, but I enjoy his songs all the same. A teacher in middle school sang "Colours" for us, and that's how I first learned about who he was. Some of my favorite songs are "Colours," "To Sing for You," "Guinevere," and "There is a Mountain." "Ballad of a Crystal Man" is my number one favorite. I learned it from a back issue of "Broadside Magazine" at http://broadsidemagazine.com/. |

This song may be un-PC, but it has a worthy message. Somebody told me that it is about employers who have total control over their employees' lives. During their retirement, they were given only a gold watch for their years of hard work. I don't know about what was PC or not in the sixties, but I would guess that it wasn't the same as what is PC today. So perhaps "queer" was not considered a bad word back then, although it certainly is today. |
