  • I have always loved this song !

    Beautiful.

    Steven Wilson, from Porcupine tree<No Man and Bass Communion payed tribute to it on # VI of his cover version series..

    Wonderful and true cover....

  • Thanks so much for posting. Donovan performs this song in a coffee house-setting in the 60's movie "If it's Tuesday, this must be Belgium". Just finished watching the movie, and wanted to find it.

  • This song reminds me of when i visited Paris in August of '99. There was a big solar eclipse, and when i was walking to the park to view its fore-coming cast an eerie shadow on a body of water where some beautiful swans were recreating. Such beautiful poetry, and i always remember Paris when i hear it ; )

  • This is such a great song, unique in its sublime beauty. It has been covered also by Mary Hopkin and Kate Bush - both giving their own brilliant interpretations in different but equally mesmerising ways.

  • @geofbrit59 Check out Kate Bush's version - sublime!

  • Love the movie If It's Tuesday This Must Be Belgium. Did not know he had recorded it himself had only heard Mary Hopkins (Donovan plays & sings on that one also) version.

  • You and I have the same taste in art and music. It was nice to see some Grimshaw! Nice work.

  • This is in my opinion, the best version of this song, while the flute is nice, hearing it with just Donovan singing and guitar is very, very clean beautiful.

  • Please could someone tell me the name of the painting (and the artist) which appears 3rd in this video. I remember seeing it about 20 years ago but have forgotten everything about it.

    Best wishes

    David

  • you can't find anything about this song anywhere and it's such a master-work. any clever muso with the chords? i would sure love to play this song over & over for people.
