Colours - Donovan (Chris Brain & Zoe Cure)

It certainly feels like the right time of year to play this song. I'm joined by Zoe Cure a dear friend of mine whom is a wonderful singer and musician.
We have got the mellow blues in the sky, the sparkling greens in the dancing grass and vibrant yellow in the rapeseed. Fitting for such a song ey?
I hope you enjoyed listening to the song, feel free to subscribe and leave a comment if you have anything to say or want to watch more videos. It would be nice to hear from you

The simple innocence of this song makes me weep for what we have lost .

[@groovyguru5314]

Absolutely beautiful I think Donovan would be please

[@johnwestcott5606]

Absolutely beautiful! The guitar playing and vocal harmony are exquisite! Bravo!❤️

[@jamesculnan3144]

That's really lovely and moving. Maybe our world would become a little better if we all took the time to listen to (or play and sing) such heartfelt music.

[@ChrisBrainMusic]

Lovely ! Looking forward to seeing you live in Hull next month. Even my wife (who doesn't share my passion of acoustic folk guitar), likes your voice and fingerstyle playing, so we are coming to see you !

[@ChrisBrainMusic]

[@BobMaulucci]

Beautiful performance. Love how much you can do with the simple Zoom recorder, a pastoral setting, a great song, and a whole lotta talent.

[@ChrisBrainMusic]

Cant beat it Bob! x

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for bringing the beatiful acoustic music back to life. You are bringing close to us our mother nature also. My guitar friend(66 years old) send a link to your version of John Martyn's "Over the hill" and now I'm going to listen to my youth's idol (I am 65) version of "Don't think twice..."Best regards from Slovenia. 🤗

[@dianaaldridge-ukulele7785]

I do this one too and now I’m going to make some changes to mine! How lovely! Thanks so much!

[@ChrisBrainMusic]

You are so welcome! X

[@Michael69]

Brilliant. I've just returned home from the Celebration of Life of a friend who was a lifelong musician and this is the first song I'm hearing now. It was Donovan's 77th Birthday 10 days ago (10th May). He's one of my favs and I learned guitar listening to his records. This is all very fitting. Thanks again, Chris. All the best mate.

[@ChrisBrainMusic]

Heya Michael, I'm glad to hear that it brought something positive to you. All the best x

[@thecaveofthedead]

Listening again because this just popped up. I used to maintain a little playlist for myself of good Donovan covers - and this is one of the best. You should consider putting this out on streaming platforms as a single.

I hope you two will perform together some more, for those really choice vocal harmonies (and the good guitar playing).

[@Siimeon98]

Very beautiful thank you ❤️. May i ask what key is this being played (open tuning or regular?), Because how Donovan played versus what i have seen in guitar lessons are different and it dosen't help, that i don't know keys... It's high time to start learning them and a bit of music theory won't hurt too. God bless you 💛

[@ChrisBrainMusic]

Hi there, I am playing the song in Drop D and Zoe is in some sort of C variation. I play the song in Open D too. I suppose just play it how ever you want to! X
