Donovan - Catch the Wind (1973)

Donovan Philips Leitch (born 10 May 1946) is a Scottish singer, songwriter and guitarist. He developed an eclectic and distinctive style that blended folk, jazz, pop, psychedelia, and world music (notably calypso). He has lived in Scotland, Hertfordshire (England), London, California, and since at least 2008 in County Cork, Ireland, with his family. Emerging from the British folk scene, Donovan reached fame in the United Kingdom in early 1965 with live performances on the pop TV series Ready Steady Go!.

Rick Beato was talking about how lyrics matter. A wonderful example from Donovan.

Thank you Donovan—for writing this ode to love or to love never received— it stands the test of time
❤ Beautiful performance- from the heart.

"When sundown pales the sky I wanna hide a while behind your smile and everywhere I look your eyes I'd find" is the best description of a kiss I've ever seen in a song.

Nothing much brings tears to my eyes any more, but Donovan still does, because of the memories. It was the best time of my life.

[lareemcra]

I come back to this one pretty often, and a few of his other songs.

I love that he’s playing two instruments at once

Used to listen to this almost on repeat when I fell in love with my first boyfriend - before he fell in love with me. We ended up going out for two years. Innocent, lovely times. Wish I was back there sometimes.

Sehr schön. Gut zu sehen, wie er spielt.

True love washing in our blood with your music being the food to drive us along these exciting times of change.

Wunderbar!
Eines der "Wahnsinnslieder" die mich(61) das ganze bisherige Leben begleitet haben!
Ein zeitloses Meisterwerk das auch noch in 100 Jahren gehört wird!
