Open Collage in a new Window

Happy Mondays

karaoke

Six cheap people in an empty hotel
Every last one with a story to tell
Give them all pills, so their heads won't swell
We were borne to a woman whose husband did quite well
Oh, sunshine, shone brightly through my window today
Could have tripped out quite easy but I decided to stay
"Hold out your hand", said Whitey with the blame
"I'm gonna bring you up so you really dig the pain
Take you under my wings so you'll never be the same
'Cause your wife is so much older and both her legs are lame"
A sunbeam shone brightly through my window today
Could have gone twenty miles but I decided to stay
All my flock has packed up and flocked back to hell
Open up the doors so the place don't start to smell
Carry on with what your doing 'cause you don't to it that well
I've been umpteen different people and no one else can tell
Sunshine shone brightly through my asshole today
Could have tripped out quite easy, man but I decided to stay
Stay a while, stay a while
Come up and see me and make me smile

Make changes yourself !

Sue Lyon came into Donovan's life at the end of 1965. This was two or three years before he met his "Jennifer Juniper" (Jenny Boyd). Lyon had starred in "Lolita" and "Night of the Iguana" before meeting Donovan. The couple dated until 1967 when Sue ended the relationship abruptly. Donovan had evidently slipped LSD in Sue's and her friend's drinking cup at a party. Sue described her trip as "frightening and disturbing" and she "felt her self-control disintegrating". After this incident Lyon never spoke to Donovan again until 1975. The two are now good friends and Sue attended Ione Skye's (Donovan's daughter) marriage to King Ad-Rock (with the Beastie Boys) Seriously considering Donovan's conquests- Jenny Boyd, Linda Lawrence, Enid (I forgot her last name) and now this chick!- Donovan was one chick magnet.

Written in the early 1960s by Canadian Buffy Sainte-Marie, The Universal Soldier is commonly interpreted as being written in response to the war in Vietnam, it was actually penned before the first US combat troops arrived there. It received popularity when released by Scottish folk artist Donovan in 1965. It did well in Britain, where it was first released, reaching number five on the singles charts, though it fared less well in the United States.The version here appears with a photo montage, with credit to Youtube user tolka. The Universal Soldier is an unusual war-protest song because it blames war not on governments, leaders or corporations, but on the individuals who accept the notion that killing solves problems and one war can end future wars. As implied by the title, Sainte-Marie makes no distinction between the soldiers of different nations, religions or ideologies: they fight for different causes but the same reasons. The song prompted a hostile response from Jan Berry of the pop duo Jan and Dean, who released The Universal Coward and turned his songwriting attention on war protesters. Some of the lyrics to Berry's song include: He's a pacifist, an extremist, a Communist or just a Yank A demonstrator, an agitator, or just a knave A conscientious objector, a fanatic, a defector And he doesn't know he's digging his own grave He's the universal coward and he runs from anything From a giant to a human to an elf He runs from Uncle Sam and he runs from Vietnam But most ...

There are those who don't understand my connection with the Hurdy Gurdy man and Jesus. It's ok. My intention, when making this video, was simply to show images that correspond with my thoughts as I listen to the song. The beauty of music is that it can be made with one composition, one set of lyrics and yet, it can be interpreted, dreamed about, thought of in as many variations as the listeners are themselves. I have enough respect for artists to believe that they would agree that music is for all because it can be taken and applied to one's life in whatever means they choose. For me, the man who "sings songs of love" and makes me feel like I want to save the world, is Jesus. I don't disrespect anyone's own views, thoughts, ideas or facts about this piece of music. All I ask is that, if you are going to comment, please be respectful of one another.

"Sunshine Superman" is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. The "Sunshine Superman" single was released in the United States through Epic Records (Epic 5-10045) in July 1966, but due to a contractual dispute the United Kingdom release was delayed until December 1966, where it appeared on Donovan's previous label, Pye Records (Pye 7N 17241). The "Sunshine Superman" single was backed with "The Trip" on both the United States and United Kingdom releases. It has been described as having, "proven to be [one of the] classics of the era," and as, "the quintessential bright summer sing along" "Sunshine Superman" reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and subsequently became the title track of Donovan's third album, Sunshine Superman. A different mix of "The Trip" (without harmonica) is also included in the album. It was the first product from the highly successful three-year collaboration between Donovan and producer Mickie Most and is generally considered to be one of the first examples of the musical genre that came to be known as psychedelia.The song was written personally for Donovan's future wife Linda Lawrence.The lyrics of the song mention not only Superman, but also another DC Comics superhero, Green Lantern.Chart positions were #1 (US), #2 (UK).A longer version (4:23) was released on ...

"Hurdy Gurdy Man" was written and recorded in early 1968 and released in May as a single and gave name to the album The Hurdy Gurdy Man, which was released in October of that year. It reached #5 in the US and #4 in the UK pop charts. The song was written for Donovan's old friend and guitar mentor Mac MacLeod. MacLeod was in a Danish band at the time called Hurdy Gurdy. The song features a harder rock sound than Donovan's usual material, supplying a range of distorted guitars. It also features an Indian influence with the use of a tambura. The tambura which Donovan himself plays on the track was a gift from George Harrison, given while they were both together in India. The record was produced by Mickie Most. "In 1965, I was asked to be on a session at Kingsway Studios, Holborn, London. It was for Donovan. One of the songs recorded that afternoon was Sunshine Superman; it was a massive hit in the UK and the US. I got to work with Donovan as a hired hand on a number of tracks on Hurdy Gurdy Man. In June 2011, I was asked to play Sunshine Superman with Donovan at the Royal Albert Hall. It was a concert of many textures and colours, a tapestry of delights as the Sunshine Troubador showcased his illustrious career." -- Jimmy Page Disclaimer: No Infringement of copyright intended upon the use of the images or music included in this selection...Words & Music by Donovan Leitch and administered by EMI Music Publishing Ltd.
