The 60's were and for some still are the benchmark for innovative music. Every musician was distinct. Their tunes were distinct.
These days, with all these hip hoppers and rappers...I can't tell one from the other. It all sounds the same. Men, women...there is such a sameness to it all. Even many of the rock bands...lots of neutral sameness. Donovan, this song...lots of memories of a time when there was lots of turmoil, and yet the hope for unity.
Please guys have a listen fo the flipside,Teen Angel,such a beautiful song,i was in love with a girl named Tina but she left me and later had a daughter that she named Angela,
I honestly will never understand how people vote down something like this. Why are you on this f'ing page if you don't like this song or Donovan? Go back to American Idol and die.
@max13328 Mary Jane (and keep in mind I'm an old ex Hippie) is slang for pot.John asked his son Julian what he had drawn and ,as legend goes, he said "It's lucy in the sky with diamonds) I always thought perhaps it was I love Lucy as she has been seen all over the world.
actually the listing is according to John Paul Jones in an email he sent to Clem, Jimmy was on tour with the yardbirds during that period in the US andJohn Bonahm was still playing clubs in the UK then too
I remember when this sound hit am radio in 68,I was 9, people loved it or hated it or loved it till they hated it there were a lot of great 60s songs but I only remember such a phenomenmon with a few early beatles songs and this one
Flip side should be listed, it is a lovely song.

@cgraber When you find out please let me know. I don't get it either! Although, I have
a few ideas. If I list them, I'll invite them! Hint: Tell someone not to do something, and
they are more likely to do it on spite!
Thanks

One of the best psychedelic tunes of its time. Thanks for the info, as well as the 'groovy' visuals. Whoever gave this a thumbs down is clueless!
