I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard this song. It was 1965, I was about 12 or 13, and my mom and I heard it on the car radio (we only had AM radio) one night on a little back road near our house. It was as if my mind opened and angels flew out of it. Donovan became my muse for years after that and I never looked back. Thank you Donovan, for everything you brought to music.

So much so that I learned how to play it for him and f=performed it on the last day of class. This man who was in his late 60's had tears in his eyes when I finished, and when I tell you I have never before felt so loved, respected, and appreciated by a positive male role model in my life, I absolutely mean it.

One of the greatest folk songs ever written. He wrote it for his friend and mentor Bob Dylan, who is often mistaken as the composer. Haunting, simple, incredible song that will last forever.

[@franklinloll2229]

I used to think it was Dylan until about 1970

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

Dylan was never Donovan's mentor, where on earth did you get that from? If anyone, his mentor was Woody Guthrie.

[@therenegadej5764]

He wrote this about a love he never had, until he met his wife a year later. What are you talking about?

[@tomclifford702]

For Dylan. Hahahaha. Very romantic.

[@lemurianchick]

The melody is similar to part of "My Back Pages" plus Donovan is clearly imitating Dylan's voice, LOL. You can see how different he sounded on "Mellow Yellow." He found his own voice, in other words.

There are benefits to being 63 years old. To have been able to enjoy this song for so many of those years is one of them. Poetry, pure and simple. A straight-forward song about love unrequited.

@@marks3970 Funny how I don't remember the Cuban missile crisis, the execution of James Hanratty (probably just as well), but I do remember many of the notable events in 1963, such as the harsh winter, which started around Boxing Day 1962, the advent of the Beatles, England v W.Indies (what a formidable team the Windies were back then), Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies (though what the fuss was all about was over this eight years old's head), the Great Train Robbery, and then, sadly, the assassination of JFK, followed by seeing LHO shot seemingly live on TV. In the cricket season I remember turning on our wireless to get news of the latest scores after I had come home from school. There was, as Derek Guyler would say in It's a Square World, just one snag, I had to remember to turn on the wireless a few minutes in advance for the valves to warm up, otherwise I would miss the scores!

Thank you... Beautiful lyrics... I'm 68 and cry when I hear this to this day....

[@logicalnotes5007]

Thanks. I couldn’t believe he wrote such words as, “When rain has hung the leaves with tears, I want you near to kill my fears.” That’s song writing. ✍️

[@papercup2517]

@@logicalnotes5007 I remember first hearing and seeing him in his baggy old denims, on TV in 1965, and thinking it was like he'd just blown into the TV studio on a cool country breeze, smelling of hedgerows and sweet damp earth...

[@stephenvanwoert2447]

At last I get the lyrics "Ah, but I may as well." I was 17 in 1965 and remember this song, but didn't catch the lyrics well.

This bittersweet song makes me long for the one and only love of my life. She was a Donovan fan, and turned me on to his music back in the mid '60s.

What happened to her?

[@romynwhitebeard7509]

@@stueyravey She changed her name - got into the wind and moved on. Nearly as high as eagles can fly, she climbed a mountain to follow her dreams but left a couple behind. Her high-country house & garden now suit her just fine, or so I’ve heard.

Brilliant song, sung for such a valid reason for a beautiful person. The lyrics are stunning.

Saw him perform “Sonnets of Donovan” at the Royal Albert Hall in London in the late 60s. Great song and great evening.

[@neorich59]

Ever since first hearing this, this has always been one of my favourite songs. There's something truly wonderful about the pure simplicity of it, as opposed to some of the OTT histrionics that blight a lot of modern songs. Sometimes, less is most definitely more!

[@jarichards99utube]

Yes - sometimes all you need is simplicity + creativity. One of Donovan's Great Classic Recordings from his Acoustic Period. GLAD you enjoyed the video : )

Understated genius. Gift from God is the only way to appreciate this angel among us. Listening every day.

What a beautiful song. I remember how much we kids loved this song back in my junior year of high school at age 16, in 1965. Many of us preferred rock of course, but there is always room for a great song like this one. This song grabs hold of you and never lets go. I thank God I grew up in that great era, except for the Vietnam War of course. I served with the U.S. Army in 1969, and was severely wounded a month before my 21st birthday, and I love to hear a voice like Donovan's every day if possible.

[@irisitaazary2777]

I'm so sorry for your pain. Thank you for sharing a reminder of the mix of the best and worst. Yes, this song is one of the best. Hold on to it.
