    hey man, the scottish folk-pop troubadour is far out. donovan's visions were unique and you know he shattered his billing as "Britain's answer to Bob Dylan."

    I listened to some of his music not too long ago, but just couldnt really get into him. Maybe I'm listening to the wrong songs. Im not gonna give up on him just yet though, I'll go searching for more tunes :)

    I is favourite a song

    Donovan / Jennifer Juniper,
    Jennifer, Juniper, lives upon the hill.
    Jennifer, Juniper, sitting very still.
    Is she sleeping? I don't think so.
    Is she breathing? Yes, very low.
    Watcha doung Fennifer my love?


    Jennifer, Juniper, rides a dappled mare.
    Jennifer, Juniper lilacs in her hair.
    Is she dreaming? Yes I think so.
    Is she pretty? Yes ever so.
    Watcha doing, Jennifer my love?

    I'm thinking of || what would it be like if she loved me.
    You know just lately
    This happy song, it came along and I had || to somehow try and tell you


    Jennifer, Juniper, hair of golden flax
    Jennifer, Juniper longs for what she lacks.
    Do you like her? Yes I do, Sir!
    Would you love her? Yes I would, Sir!
    Watcha doing Jennifer my love?


    Jennifer, Juniper, Jennifer, Juniper, Jennifer, Juniper

    Stop that.

    Mellow Yellow, Jennifer Juniper and Atlantis are his worst songs ever. Oh, and Little boy in corduroy, but that's less known.

    I love the guy for all the rest. :)

    Fav. songs are Wear your love like heaven, Hurdy Gurdy Man, Get thy bearings, Universal Soldier, Catch the wind, Roots of oak, and A working man. My favourite albums are Hurdy Gurdy Man and Fairytale.
