My dad would sing this to me before bed as a child. No other memory brings such warmth to my soul, reminds me of what really matters. When I hear this song, the all the noise and nonsense in the world seems to dissapear.

Brilliant. I fell in love with that song as soon as I first heard it in the early 1970s. I finally worked it out on guitar when I was on my own living in a shack in 2002 (no TV or computer distractions). Very good photos to match, even Marianne Faithful - that was close, but his unrequited love for years was Linda Jones, discarded wife (c.1965) of Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones. (Incidentally, Brian & Linda had a son: Julian, very close in age to John & Cynthia Lennon's Julian.) Donovan & Linda finally married in the early 1970s. I used to think that sublimely poignant ending bit was originated by Donovan, and that Genesis (the early, original Genesis, when Peter Gabriel was the lead singer) got that phrase from Don, but they were doing the same thing at the same time (only Genesis would devote 32 bars to that kind of beautiful haunting tripped-out acoutic guitar riffs). Check out Genesis' album "Trespass" - recorded 1971. (Phil Collins was not even a member back then.) It's amazing how some things weren't pinched by one artist(s) of another, but how both were doing the same thing at the same time - the end of The Who's Pinball Wizard is very similar to the end of Blind Faith's Had To Cry Today (both recorded in 1969).

Do you know what became of Brian & Linda's son, Julian? Did he get involved with music at all like his late father, Brian Jones? Did Julian live with Linda & Donovan and how old would he be now? I just don't recall hearing or reading anything about Julian Jone's life anywhere.

Wow! The lyrics are by W. B. Yeats. The music fits Yeats's words perfectly! Donovan did a super-great job with the music, guitar, and vocals to create a great song. I, personally, loved the words by Yeats before I even heard Donovan's music: the theme of desperately chasing a dream, and, especially, the really great symbolic last lines: "...the golden apples of the sun, the silver apples of the moon."

I went out to the hazel wood, Because a fire was in my head, And cut and peeled a hazel wand, And hooked a berry to a thread; And when white moths were on the wing, And moth-like stars were flickering out, I dropped the berry in a stream And caught a little silver trout. When I had laid it on the floor I went to blow the fire a-flame, But something rustled on the floor, And someone called me by my name: It had become a glimmering girl With apple blossom in her hair Who called me by my name and ran And faded through the brightening air. Though I am old with wandering Through hollow lands and hilly lands, I will find out where she has gone, And kiss her lips and take her hands; And walk among long dappled grass, And pluck till time and times are done, The silver apples of the moon, The golden apples of the sun. The Wind Among the Reeds, 1899. 4th ed. (London, 1903), 15-16. Available at Project Gutenberg.

Donovan (my favourite artist of all time), sings this song with a magical voice. I have just about every album he has released and this song is one of my favourites. I have seen him in concert several times over the years. Thank you so much for putting together this beautiful video.....so well done!! A+ video!

Probably my fave Donovan song ever! I just recently I learned Judy Collins, way back in the early '60s, had beaten Donovan to setting to music this magical Yeats poem (literally magical - I think it's very influenced by Yeats' occult beliefs & activities. He practiced ceremonial magic in the legendary Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in London). Collins called her version "Apples of the Sun". Donovan stayed with the poem's title & put much more interesting music & vocals to it. Love it.
