Donovan says
'It was all impromptu. I visited the studio and David said ...
'Sit at the mics with your guitar Don'.
David in same room behind control desk with my Linda.
He had asked me to only bring in a song just emerging, not anywhere near finished.
We would see what happens. It happened!
I composed extempore ... the verses came naturally. New chord patterns effortlessly appeared.
On another day David 'Sound Sculpted' my Ferrington acoustic guitar 'Kelly' and he played his unique Modal Chord Ferrington Guitar textures with ‘Effects'.
David and I are 'Compadres' on a creative path rarely travelled.
And we bring TM Meditation to the world.
This Collaboration between David & I is an Appeal for Donations to help Donovan & Linda give TM Meditation to Cork Students.

I AM THE SHAMAN
Yon wheeling of great stars has cast a silver web around my heart
On an Elfin Sea in a Ship of Filigree
And look upon her prow - a sign upon her brow
She guides us on our way when hearts they go astray
Lorelei Lorelei who will dry your pretty eyes
Lorelei as you fly around those starry skies
Lorelei why O why why O why O Lorelei
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
All those wheeling of great stars they cast a spell on me
As I wander through the stars Linda Love and me
I don’t know how I got here but I know where I go
As I wander all I know all I know
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman

This has quickly grown into my top 20 tunes of all time. It's just so 'Donovan' and to me he IS the Shaman. He's always been there, from when I was 10 to present. I became a session musician because of him. And when I bumped into him after watching him play in Manchester, UK he was cemented in my heart. I shook his hand but was so in awe that I couldn't string a sentence together so he clapped his other hand on mine, laughed and gave me a hug. I was only 20 at the time and probably looked like a thug! Don is a deity.

Which in a word is different. Different is what we need. His catalog of work is so vast, so precious, and so brilliant. Still singing of stars and the sea. :) Thank you from the very DEPTHS of the ocean of my heart Donovan. You have always been my #1 inspiration.

I came here because of a dream I just had tonight. It was towards the end of it, I was driving down a hill on a narrow road. I realized it was narrow due to the cars that were jam packed going the other direction. When I got to the bottom, we went over a bridge and came to a wall that had a painting on a white tunnel. That is where the road ended, but the painting looked like the road kept going. My friends were scared to go through the painting. Said we would never return if we did, but I kept going anyway. I drove right throgh the wall and we kept riding on the highway, but I instantly woke up. The dream just ended there. All while that was happening "The Hurdy Gurdy" man was playing in my dream. The whole experience was quite ominous and gave me chills. I'm not a mystic person, but the experience made me think. This song is hauntingly great.

Funny to think David Lynch is supporting the "troubadour" Donovan. Who was our romantic icon, with his great ballads in our hearts and thoughts. Wish he would have kept singing tunes as To Try for the Sun, Little Tin Soldier, To Sing for You, Catch the Wind or Universal Soldier. Liked as well his Remember the Alamo, though there's is too Johnny Cash version, which is a good one. But Donovan had répertoire enough to remain hearing and buying him. For me, he was kind of a dreamer, but an interesting and sensitive one. I keep hearing this first Donovan, and am still open to anything else he can create. A poet with a clean and friendly, and clever mind. Nice music, to think and feel. Wish you all the best, dear pal. And thanks so many for your nice company. 🙄😇🙏🆗✔️

Don't be surprised ok, it's true I don't usually do this. But the pandemic has really tore everything apart leaving lots of people depressed and sad. That's why am pasting my personal email address here via: [e-mail] to enable you share your opinions about my songs or send personal message you wish to share with me. I can't still appreciate everyone of you enough for the unconditional love and massive supports ❤️ it's because of you am here today. I hope you won't stop listening and supporting my songs.

Have loved and listened to you for a decade now, Donny. I'm SO grateful for your existence. Bless your heart.

@Donovan Unfortunately not yet! And that's because I live in Brazil.

It's 2021 and there's new music from Donovan. What! This should go right into Hurdy Gurdy Man.

[@classygary]

The video is new, the song is not .,

[@LonelyMoonchildL]

Lorelei is a mythological character, and it´s also an asteroid. Brilliant song! I'm a big fan of Donovan and Lynch.

[@carroleplourde3316]

I was the only Native girl that grew up in Deep River. I live in Calgary now. My chuashpey is Blue Thunder Clan we Sundance in Pine Ridge. That would be awesome if David and Donovan did an album. I would love to invite everyone to the Peace Gathering in Calgary in 2023 Sometime in July.

Hurdy Gurdy Man, met a REAL one in Germany, playing a Hurdy Gurdy!! EPIC

David Lynch. Donovan. these have always been two of my favorite people. I’m glad they’ve met up. 💛

[@curegardenfleur]

This sounds so pretty and magical!! It sounds like he's channeling the earth spirits and bringing peace and love to us all! I wish I could take enough acid to make a song this good! 💗💗💗☮️

[@raydelavega7457]

I always liked Donovan's Lyrics!! He's the only Single Artust to Sell Out Madison Square Garden for A Week!!! In the 60s!!! Now He's A Shaman, Cool!!! 👍

[@johnmartinimusic2406]

He's still got it!

[@Magnetron33]

I have been a fan since SS and MY and FTIAM. I saw him open for Yes in Madison in 77 and saw him here in my hometown open for John Mellencamp. Still a true ARTIST. He must have gotten more out of TM than the Beatles. I love that he is still musical.

[@irishfield1]

Always amazing Donovan the best ever thank you admiration

[@evanchristo708]

I really didn't think this was gonna be good. Its sooo good haha

[@patsmythe949]

He sings “Linda loving me.” His wife of years. Gorgeous man. Genius talent.

[@TheSalMaris]

Thanks David, looks like Donovan is channeling is own personal Bela Lugosi.

Fun! Great to see Donovan still plucks and peers, delving into the Celtic Mystic!!! EnJoy!!!
