Donovan - Colours 2005

Donovan - Colours 2005

(Released 1965)

Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair,
In the morning, when we rise,
In the morning, when we rise.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.

Blue is the colour of the sky-y-y,
In the morning, when we rise,
In the morning, when we rise.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.

Green is the colour of the sparklin' corn,
In the morning, when we rise,
In the morning, when we rise.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.

Freedom is a word I rarely use,
Without thinking, a-ha,
Without thinking, a-ah.
Of the time, of the time,
When I've been loved.

Mellow is the feeling that I get,
When I see her, oh yeah,
When I see her, oh yeah.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best
I love the best
I love the best
I love the best.

Why does he sing like a leprechaun now?

[mimibearful]

Evolution avec la version de sa jeunesse.....mais en écoutant bien, la chanson a gagné en profondeur!!! J'aime aussi!

[TonyTheDriver100]

One must accept that folk singers do it their way and that's fine. But this has to be the worst version of this classic that I've ever heard in any format.

[Xychk]

Dont be mean- after all, he must be 70 something by now.

[thewaxbills]

I love Donovan ...but this is terrible....what is wrong with him? this rendition is like something from Blue Peter!

@Rush1013 I know Lucy in the sky was a typical choice, and I thought so too and would've said it only the maximum letters to use didn't allow me to.

Okay I'm not sure if it is right, that it's about drugs, and because your theory about his song could be true too, cause John wrote more songs about his sons (as far as I know Paul only wrote Hey Jude).

But it doesn't matter.

Look I know for sure that they used drugs to expand their musical minds, and that's all I'm trying to say here.

@TheWorldinProgress

Typical you would say that Lucy In the Sky was about drugs, that just shows how little you know. Johns son Julian made a drawing of his school friend Lucy floating in space with stars all around, and when John asked what it was he said it was Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. John was really inspired by it and him and Paul (primarily John) spit balled lines back and forth and came up with the lyrics.
