Donovan - Brother Sun, Sister Moon

In the early 1970s, Donovan agreed to write and record songs for the English version of Franco Zeffirelli's Brother Sun, Sister Moon (1972). While the film included Donovan's recordings of the songs, the accompanying soundtrack included none of Donovan's original recordings. The absence of these recordings prompted many of Donovan's fans to request an official release of the songs.

In order to satisfy demand, Donovan embarked on acquiring the rights to the original recordings. Due to the nature of the original contract and complex publishing rights issues, it became evident to Donovan that releasing the original Brother Sun Sister Moon recordings would be extremely difficult. In the absence of this release, Donovan decided to record new versions of the original songs and release it exclusively through the iTunes Music Store.

For the new recordings, Donovan opted not to recreate the lush orchestration and choir vocals of the original recordings. Instead, he plays guitar and sings solo, in a style reminiscent of his Sutras album.

Brother Sun and Sister Moon I seldom see you seldom hear your tune Preoccupied with selfish misery Brother Wind and Sister Air Open my eyes to visions pure and fair That I may see the glory around me. I am God's creature, of Him I am part I feel His love awakening my heart. Brother Sun and Sister Moon I now do see you, I can hear your tune So much in love with all that I survey.

Thank you for posting. The song is one of my very favorites, and the God's creature starring in your video is lovely.

Thank you for uploading this. A beautiful video you have made indeed. Children are wiser than most adults! And yet we put them in schools and tell them to fear...:) Let them run in the fields and let us learn from them...:)
