I'm not sure if Donovan actually reads these, but I just want you to know you still touch the heart's and influence young people like me to this day, we love you.

Actually more meditative than psychedelic. At least for me. Kinda wish this had the balls to be 20 minutes. Repetition gets you places. No drugs needed.

Watching on repeat-hard to believe that this exists. Thank you Donovan and David Lynch for decades of pure creativity.

I met Donovan (when I worked at the performing arts center in Tampa) & I agree 100%. He's the kind of friendly guy u have a beer with. He played "what the soul desires" at my request and dedicated it me 🤯 "the girl upstairs running the lights whose second name is laleña" my middle name was already on the set list. By far one of the nicest celebrities ive met & I've worked with quite a few over the years

I Had no idea that he was even still alive to be honest. I clicked the video to see what he's been up to and it turns out he is working with David Lynch!!! His voice sounds great. I like it.

My father who passed away a couple of years ago always enjoyed listening to your music and he was who I got to know you through. You might be surprised if I say we are from Iran.

Donovan looks like he's one step beyond the Shadow Realm.

Thank you...just the right words and music for today❤

Trippy guitar strumming. This is pretty cool. I was a little kid in the 60's, and clearly remember on my mom's car radio: "Superman and Green Lantern ain't got a-nothin' on me- I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yeah..." Now, I'm in my SIXTIES, and this guy is still here, creating. Amazing...

i had to do a double, triple, even quadruple take when i saw the name… thank you for still making music for us, brother 🤍

Donavan/Lynch ok I can see a bright future for both of them to work together. Both masters in their own right and far above the average persons head.

He started out very Dylanesque but quickly became his own man with an original sound and several great songs in the 60's. I saw him open for YES in Largo, MD, in 1977. I like this and it is nice to see him collaborate with David Lynch.

With the life a sentient human like Donavan has Lived, I can believe he is a Shaman. Wish he were President :) Remember, he taught guitar techniques to John and Paul.

I saw Brother Sun, Sister Moon in a little church in rural Vermont when I was 17 years old. I have been in love with your music ever since, you changed the course of my life. I love you Donovan!!!

This is so brilliant. I love his playing and voice - still so seductive after all these decades. Immediately, I loved it - this music must be in my English blood come down from my Scottish friend. It’s so weird too and I love it! It’s pure magic.

The way he strums is so enchanting I can’t take my eyes off his fingers for a second. That has to come from decades of playing.

Sounds like the guitar is played backwards during the chorus, the trippy "shaman" bit, either recorded forward then played back in reverse or maybe by using an effect to essentially produce the same sound in real time.

I love you, Donovan and David Lynch. What a treat. I was in grade during Donovan's hey day and often revisit that sunny day in the early morning of the 60's. The sun was shining. The day was beginning and my bicycle was waiting. I sat on the door step looking at the beautiful day and listening to Wear Your Love Like Heaven on the AM radio that was plugged in on top of the refrigerator.

Named my son Donovan....glad I did. Thanks for all the beautiful music.

ya, this one is a heart tugger

an inspiration - you sing the truth- of course you Are the SHAMAN

Don’t know about you, but when he says, “I am the shaman,” I believe him

I have a feeling that real shamans would introduce themselves with a regular, "Hello", rather than, "I am the shaaaaaman".

Hey Donovan love your music. You are the Hurdy Gurdy man You are Sunshine Superman. You are Mellow Yellow.you wear your love like Heaven

Donovan forever. Love your stuff.

Like a journey from the Root to the Crown Chakra and finally merging with universal light. Phenomenal!

Saw Donovan in the 80's. His voice hasn't changed. Very pleasing.

Donovan, today is my 55th birthday, and finding this video made it a happy one! Thank you for a lifetime of great music. My mom has been a fan since she was a teenager.

Beautiful right hand.

Thank you Universe for Don, Kelly, Dave,& Linda ❤❤❤❤

Donovan moves to Twin Peaks and I'm loving it. I shall now go count the rings on my tail.

Each to his own.

Very intriguing how the "I am the Shaman" parts sound like playing Beatles records backwards (Beatles being the only frame of reference I have as I've never played anything else backwards). A very interesting track. I'm glad Donovan is still putting out material and even the bringing of students to TM. He's a very influential artist who in it for all the right reasons. Please pass my best wishes to him.

I am so jazzed to see this today! My crush on Donovan started when I was 10, and I continue to love his music. Such a spiritually moving song that helped my mind grow wings for a little while. Thank you and Many blessings to all.

Donovan has been doing it since the 60s and is STILL putting out music that is far more interesting than most new “artists”.

From "Catch the Wind" at the beginning of the 60's and full circle here with us today. God bless you Donovan. Thank you for staying true to yourself. Whether or not its your cup of tea, Donovan is to be treasured.

Such an awesome song ! Have always loved this song by Donovan. He's such a great ham too. You can tell he's really having fun with the video, playing the part of the sage, wise, yet a bit creepy Shaman. Donovan is the epitome of cool. Great songwriter, one of my favorites !

Love Donovan. Found his work when I was in high school last year and fell in loves with his lyrics and songs

Gratitude Donovan for all of your sonic poetry over the decades , much Love!!!!

His voice is better now than when he was young. Wow.

This is fantastic! Donovan looks and sounds great with the direction of David Lynch. This is a wonderful complement to The Season of the Witch.

WOW! Just talking about Donovan and some of his old songs and then here he is today with new music! Awesome!

Still cool AF after all these years, this song is super hot

Hi Don ....I love your music for almost 60 years until today..stay healthy..love,light and happiness ✌

The voice of aging stars have so much character. Reminds a lot of Bowie's Blackstar and the Johnny Cash American recordings.

I'm so glad he didn't sell.out...and stayed true to himself and us..thank you Donovan

If he does read these comments, I want him to know how much I love his music😊

BRILLIANCE ! Thank you Donovan Blessings 🌞🌜✨

In 2006 my best friend showed me A Gift From A Flower To A Garden and we listened to it almost every time we hung out for years - that album, along with Be Here Now by Ram Dass informed much of my growth as a person. Thank you for your gift!

Thank you Donovan. You represent the best part of the 1960s! Love this song.

So good!!!! I never saw this coming in the best possible way.

Love is hot, love is hot. Truth is molten. I am Shaman. Love you D

He is Shaman.

This is awesome. I can't wait till the fully orchestrated version is released.

A work mate & sax player who'd worked with Bob Marley & the Wailers, David Lee, once asked me to come to listen to you record in 1978 I think. I was living in Sussex at the time, having come to London, traveling up with David. I didn't come, instead I joined my mates to consume my recent purchase. You had bare feet when I first saw you on black & white TV then ,& now you are the Shaman Aroha.

Who knew Mellow Yellow caused flashbacks 60 years later? 🍌 You go, boy!!!! 🎸

It's good to see an old friend undulating once again.💗💗💗

what a happy find! and what a great combo, D.L. and D.L.

Yeaaah love it

Incredible - Donovan and Lynch. A match made in heaven man 👊🏻

❤Thank you❤

My best friend named his son after you. I found you in the early eighties. It was like a second generation finding your messages. Now what a surprise to see you still are a shaman! Wünderbah!!

dude man dude guy, agape mucho, donovan . thank you for your contribution to the world and my journey of individuation. many waters to you

I've always found Donovan's music to be haunting and beautiful.Thank you for the wonderful music 🎶

Still rockin!

I've abided by every one of God's decress which were encoded in your songs.... I'm your eternal servant!

It's fortunate we have Shaman lyricist like you in the world because I cannot find the world's to express my joy you've made more music.

I love this song❤

I absolutely LOVE this collab! Hats off, Sir! And to a good cause.

Mister Gurdy has returned

Thank you always and forever

Thank you Sir love you

Glad to see a NEW video!

Cosmic!

You are responsible for taking the Beatles acoustic songs to a new level. I saw you open for Yes in 77 and two people who passed that week were dedicated with one of your songs. I can't remember which song you dedicated to Elvis Presley and Marc Bolan. I got so drunk and was on the verge of being thrown out by the security in front of the stage but ran for my life and twisted my ankle jumping over the boards of the hockey arena and got away. I went to the bathroom and puked my guts out and all of a sudden, I was almost normal and except for ankle pain, I was able to enjoy and remember the concert

Still got it.

How high the gulls fly or Ilay…How sad the farm lad deep in play…felt like a tide left me here…felt like a grain on your sand…felt like a grain on your sand…

nobody ever mentions his wonderful guitar playing.

This is great..I love the spooky quality. I feel lucky to have seen him perform live one time. Its great that he's still performing. I'm 61 and was quite young when I saw him. ❤

I know Donovan has always had a great sense of humor so here's my take: I think he looks like an impersonation of himeself by Will Ferrell in this video... and that is perfectly fine, and absolutely awesome. I totally love Donovan's music, still relevant today as it has aged so well. ❤️
