Donovan Leitch Lyrics


by Charles Carreon

Donovan was not of the sixties or seventies or of any other
time period. But thankfully, he has been with us since the
sixties, and against that backdrop of psychedelia, he looks
quite fine. The Gift From a Flower to a Garden album is a
tour de force of humanness. Gift was released as a
two-record boxed set featuring glowing color prints of
Donovan in fantasy attire alone and communing with the
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, also of Beatles fame. One of the two
records was entitled For Little Ones and was filled with More...

Reviews about Donovan Leitch songs
The Mountain | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song The Mountain performed by Donovan Leitch

It is one of my favourite songs of all time from a man who has given so many beautiful songs... the spoken word still gets me in deep. So few people have ever heard it as at is not on the most listened to albums

    ------ About the song Season of the Witch performed by Donovan Leitch

"You got to pick up every stitch"

This era was the beginning in more serious introspection, meditation etc.... in knitting you can "drop a stitch" ie leave one out .... if you "pick up a stitch" you go back and fill in a missing stitch to correct the error.... seems like he may allude to the way we now sometimes go back to correct a missing or malformed part of our personality to become more whole .... as people began to do through psychedelics and or meditation.

Donovan did not write this | Reviewer: KL Fan
    ------ About the song Donna Donna performed by Donovan Leitch

Just wanted to point out that Donovan did not write this song. It's an old Yiddish song from the 1920s and was previously included on the first Joan Baez album (where Donovan may have first heard it, he even had a brief fling with her one night)

Beautiful song | Reviewer: Roo
    ------ About the song Isle of Islay performed by Donovan Leitch

I agree with everything Susan said, it's a beautiful song that lifts you up and carries you away to another place. It's all about the emotion he puts into his voice for me, it's to die for! If you like this, I recommend the entire "gift from a flower to a garden" album.

    ------ About the song The Tinker and the Crab performed by Donovan Leitch

I have always loved this song. I did an English project using this, it was a project that was to take a poem and do illustrations for it. The teacher did not expect a Donovan song, at first she gave me a hard time about it but, after she read it she agreed, it is a poem.

Invincible Donovan | Reviewer: Craig Berg
    ------ About the song Hurdy Gurdy Man performed by Donovan Leitch

EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) ― Donovan, famous for '60s pop hits such as "Hurdy Gurdy Man" and "Mellow Yellow," has announced plans to open the Invincible Donovan University, where students will adhere to the principles of transcendental meditation.

"I know it sounds like an airy-fairy hippie dream to go on about '60s peace and love," said the 61-year-old singer, who was born Donovan Leitch in the Maryhill area of Glasgow. "But the world is ready for this now, it is clear this is the time."

He said the university will be located in either Glasgow or Edinburgh.

Donovan discovered transcendental meditation while visiting India and guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1968.

"The Maharishi told me during that 1968 visit that I should build a university in Edinburgh. I went to my room and drew a beautiful dome-shaped place of learning," he said Friday.

"I didn't know what to do because I couldn't do this on my own. But then I met David Lynch, who told me about the positive effects of TM in education. Although it's taken me 35 years, I will do what the Maharishi told me to do."

Here's the verse | Reviewer: Stephen C
    ------ About the song Lord of the Dance performed by Donovan Leitch

I danced for the scribe and the pharisee
But they would not dance and they wouldn't follow me
I danced for the fishermen, for Peter James and John
They came with me and the Dance went on:

A beautiful love song | Reviewer: Reza Mojtbavi
    ------ About the song Little Tin Soldier performed by Donovan Leitch

I enjoyed listening to this song when I was in my teens. I turned 58 a couple of days ago and still I enjoy listening to this song. In my opinion this is a beautiful love song.
