Feel the texture, man. Just feel it.
Donovan made a song that sounds exactly like a Donovan song.
I enjoy the fact that the video is essentially just Donovan sitting and playing the song, layered with David Lynch effects over top of it. Very simplistic. But it works.
It sounds OK, I will probably do some more listens. Mostly though I’m reeling from the news Donovan is still alive. I really need to stop assuming folks are dead.
Donovan?
(Seriously, never heard of the dude)
@lastchance @cepheus42 I guess I had heard his music, but didn’t know who it was.
Unexpected.
I stand corrected.
Strange vibe coming from the patchouli-infused psychedelic hippy of old. Sort of a dark QAnon metaphysical thing.
I’ve always loved that they actually got Donovan for the Futurama bit.
Ooof, I love Lynch with all my heart but this is very much an old guy video of another old guy’s song.
You could almost mistake it for a Tim & Eric bit poking fun at public access, hippie-new age bullshit.
Donovan offered to help clean up, which means he was groovy, so he didn’t have to leave.
Unpopular opinion: Jimmy Page’s best playing was for Donovan.
