my 11th grade English teacher introduced me to this song this past year and I instantly fell in love with it. So much so that I learned how to play it for him and f=performed it on the last day of class. This man who was in his late 60's had tears in his eyes when I finished, and when I tell you I have never before felt so loved, respected, and appreciated by a positive male role model in my life, I absolutely mean it. If you see this Dr.B just know you made an impression on me that will last my lifetime. Thank you for everything you did for me this year, you are a phenomenal teacher and an amazing man
GLAD you enjoyed the video 😊 Yes a Great Classic sound from the 60's Donovan had a very interest musical evolution along with the general flow of music styles during that era. You might want to explore this which you can easily do by listening to Dovovan's Greatest Hits album - available on youtube at: czcams.com/video/FATrsvKTtV4/video.html * Also you may enjoy my database of music classics available at: JARichardsFilm HiQ FULL PLAYLIST (ENJOY)
In 1973, I was 8 years old, and I had this really cool hippy teacher who would bring his guitar in and play during recess. I often wonder what ever happened to him, and would have loved to thank him for the positive effect he had on me.
I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard this song. It was 1965, I was about 12 or 13, and my mom and I heard it on the car radio (we only had AM radio) one night on a little back road near our house. It was as if my mind opened and angels flew out of it. Donovan became my muse for years after that and I never looked back. Thank you Donovan, for everything you brought to music.
Yes, part of The British Invasion and one of The 60's Greats. GLAD you enjoyed the video. For more Classic Music Videos, youtube search for: Donovan JARichardsFilm HiQ or JARichardsFilm HiQ FULL PLAYLIST (Enjoy 😊 👍)
This is such a beautiful song. I think back in the 60’s and 70’s we didn’t realize how good performers had to be to actually have their songs recorded. They didn’t have autotune or synthesizers. It was all pure talent. Thank you Donovan for your lovely songs with lovely words.
One of the greatest folk songs ever written. He wrote it for his friend and mentor Bob Dylan, who is often mistaken as the composer. Haunting, simple, incredible song that will last forever.
The melody is similar to part of "My Back Pages" plus Donovan is clearly imitating Dylan's voice, LOL. You can see how different he sounded on "Mellow Yellow." He found his own voice, in other words.

Donovan blessed an entire generation with his most defining works. I am proud to say I used to listen to him when he busked in Devon. The simplicity and beauty of this music, unless major changes happen in the music industry, will never be repeated - a tragedy, a true tragedy.

@@jarichards99utube One of his other songs that seemed so meaningful was To Try For The Sun. I went through a period in my young life that I felt very alone and I could only assume that Donovan himself carried some heavy loads.
This is real music, genuine talent, that we will never see from the modern entertainers with their million dollar stage shows. This is high-class poetry put to music - one of my all-time favourite songs.
I'm the same age as you and remember those times with fondness. However, I also remember the fear I had in the early 60's that the world would end with nuclear holocaust!
@@marks3970 Funny how I don't remember the Cuban missile crisis, the execution of James Hanratty (probably just as well), but I do remember many of the notable events in 1963, such as the harsh winter, which started around Boxing Day 1962, the advent of the Beatles, England v W.Indies (what a formidable team the Windies were back then), Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies (though what the fuss was all about was over this eight years old's head), the Great Train Robbery, and then, sadly, the assassination of JFK, followed by seeing LHO shot seemingly live on TV. In the cricket season I remember turning on our wireless to get news of the latest scores after I had come home from school. There was, as Derek Guyler would say in It's a Square World, just one snag, I had to remember to turn on the wireless a few minutes in advance for the valves to warm up, otherwise I would miss the scores! Happy days...well, most of them anyway!
There are benefits to being 63 years old. To have been able to enjoy this song for so many of those years is one of them. Poetry, pure and simple. A straight-forward song about love unrequited. Poignant, yet uplifting. True classics are those that hold up over decades, scores, certainly centuries. This is one of them.

Was not born when this was released, but grew up with it and fell in love with it as soon as I first heard it. Thanks Donovaan for some wonderful words and songs. Inspiration to other musicians. This is REAL meaningful music.
Have just started to claim my state pension. Found this on CZcams . Can't believe I remembered the words! Reminded me how I used to play my Universal Soldier LP non stop! Thank you for transporting me back to my youth. There won't be much of today's music being played after 50 years!

WOW!! I was 12yrs old when this song was recorded by a really great creator of music poetry. And i was 21 or 22 when i watched Donovan live in Hamilton 1972-3!! What a wonderful performer! Just himself and his guitar etc..sat crossed legged through the whole show…and held us captivated!! Gave his all…And was just as good live as on a record. The wonderful stories he told us too!! Yes this man in my opinion is a True-Natural Performer. Thank-You Mr Donovan for a night to remember!! And Bless you! And your family.❤❤Kay,nz

I remember at fourteen taping this from the radio onto my reel to reel tape recorder, whilst wearing my Donovan cap and jean jacket. I idolised the man
Ever since first hearing this, this has always been one of my favourite songs. There's something truly wonderful about the pure simplicity of it, as opposed to some of the OTT histrionics that blight a lot of modern songs. Sometimes, less is most definitely more!
Yes - sometimes all you need is simplicity + creativity. One of Donovan's Great Classic Recordings from his Acoustic Period. GLAD you enjoyed the video : )

In the chilly hours and minutes Of uncertainty I want to be In the warm hold of your loving mind To feel you all around me And to take your hand Along the sand Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind When sundown pales the sky I want to hide a while Behind your smile And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find For me to love you now Would be the sweetest thing T'would make me sing Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Diddy di dee dee diddy diddy Diddy diddy diddy dee dee dee When rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near to kill my fears To help me to leave all my blues behind For standin' in your heart Is where I want to be And long to be Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Thanks. I couldn’t believe he wrote such words as, “When rain has hung the leaves with tears, I want you near to kill my fears.” That’s song writing. ✍️
@@logicalnotes5007 I remember first hearing and seeing him in his baggy old denims, on TV in 1965, and thinking it was like he'd just blown into the TV studio on a cool country breeze, smelling of hedgerows and sweet damp earth...
I remember I was my grandfathers Bus I was 6 or 7 years old 1968 or 69. He had numerous soldiers on the bus going to Vietnam! One of the soldiers had this song on his transistor radio! I absolutely love the song and went to the local Kmart and found this song on a 45! I still have it! I always associate this song with the soldiers going to Vietnam! I was awestruck by them! They were from all walks of life and jovial and friendly! The soldier listening to this song was a black man! He looked at said you like this song don’t you! I did obviously he told me I like it too! I never knew his name and I hope him and the other soldiers lived and returned home! God Bless all of them!
Ehrliche Musik, Künstler steht im Vordergrund nicht tanzende Discoqueens. Danke Donovan + Co für ein tolle Jugenderfahrung. Die Musik höre ich heute noch mit über 70. Thks a lot
I was in the Navy 73-77. Not too long before I got out, I saw Donovan and Yes at Hampton Roads Coliseum in Norfolk. I enjoyed both, but really went to see Donovan, this and Hurdy Gurdy Man are great! Also Sunshine Superman. Sail On Sailor.

San Francisco's Winterland, 1967/or 68. The air was heavy with reefer smoke. It bathes me now when I hear this song. I was a senior in high school, 17, it doesn't get any better than that.

I used to think it was Dylan until about 1970
Dylan was never Donovan's mentor, where on earth did you get that from? If anyone, his mentor was Woody Guthrie.
He wrote this about a love he never had, until he met his wife a year later. What are you talking about?
For Dylan. Hahahaha. Very romantic.
The melody is similar to part of "My Back Pages" plus Donovan is clearly imitating Dylan's voice, LOL. You can see how different he sounded on "Mellow Yellow." He found his own voice, in other words.

I wont disagree with that m8
Was not born when this was released, but grew up with it and fell in love with it as soon as I first heard it. Thanks Donovaan for some wonderful words and songs. Inspiration to other musicians. This is REAL meaningful music.
Oh...to return to the 1960's !! Times have gone to hell,and all I can think of is wonderful songs like this.

Have just started to claim my state pension. Found this on CZcams . Can't believe I remembered the words! Reminded me how I used to play my Universal Soldier LP non stop! Thank you for transporting me back to my youth. There won't be much of today's music being played after 50 years!
HAPPY Retirement..! Yes the GREAT Donovan.

WOW!! I was 12yrs old when this song was recorded by a really great creator of music poetry. And i was 21 or 22 when i watched Donovan live in Hamilton 1972-3!! What a wonderful performer! Just himself and his guitar etc..sat crossed legged through the whole show…and held us captivated!! Gave his all…And was just as good live as on a record. The wonderful stories he told us too!! Yes this man in my opinion is a True-Natural Performer. Thank-You Mr Donovan for a night to remember!! And Bless you! And your family.❤❤Kay,nz

I was 17 and so loved this song of hope, dreams and love. Never will we have such wonderful memories of our early years such as this classic.

Yes, a bit special was Donovan. Loved his music and still do. I count myself blessed to have grown up in the sixties.
My brother died 21 years ago today . He was 49. He died from a blood clot. He sung this to me when I was a little girl. He was 12 years older than me. I miss you , Michael..... I hear ya from heaven big brother.
GLAD you enjoyed the video : )
I named my son Donovan after hearing this song for the first time
Great name
Cool. Peace.
THERE ARE SONGS THAT TAKE YOU BACK TO 196OS 📻📻📻

STILL SOUNDS SO GOOD IN 2018 🔉🔉🔊
And in 2021! Happy new Year.
The song is kind of my anthem for my best girl who died . I hope there really is a heaven and I get to see her again .
I am sure you will . Love doesn’t die .
@@mvl6827 Love never dies as m vl said. Peace man.
No one ever really dies. Those we love are always a part of us.
When rain has hung the leaves with tears, is still one of my favourite flows
A timeless piece, sounds as good now as it did mid-sixties...... Thank you Donovan.
The most edifying exhilarating and moving song ever sung by any singer let us be blessed by this video as I am tonight.
Absolutely....
Amen brother

I'm glad I'm old enough to remember when this song was popular along with other Donavan hits like 'Sunshine superman,' 'Atlantis,' 'Jennifer Juniper,' 'Hurdy Gurdy Man.' The 60's for music was great.
YES, to ALL of that...! GLAD you enjoyed the video : )
Brought tears to my eyes tonight 😢❤️

When he sings "the sweetest thing" it so describes my husband. He passed five years ago. This song fills my heart with memories I can almost touch.
GLAD you enjoyed the video : )
I’m sorry
Well said.
^..^~~
I miss my late wife after 15 years, keep the memories alive. Xxx
This bittersweet song makes me long for the one and only love of my life. She was a Donovan fan, and turned me on to his music back in the mid '60s.
GLAD you enjoyed the video : )
Yes donovan was a musical genius
What happened to her?
@@stueyravey She changed her name - got into the wind and moved on. Nearly as high as eagles can fly, she climbed a mountain to follow her dreams but left a couple behind. Her high-country house & garden now suit her just fine, or so I’ve heard.
@@romynwhitebeard7509 well... Who knows.. Maybe you could of been the final fine she needed my friend?!
Stay positive.. Test negative!.. Be lucky pal.. Be lucky 👊

I'm catching the wind of my youth! Those innocent times ... can we ever return to that?
Nope, sorry man? You'll be one of the first to travel on my time machine with me when it's ready, okay man. Peace.
maybe that's what heaven will be.
@@musicroolsman994 I want to come, too
@@margiteder8274 You're very welcome to come along. My machine is almost ready and is entirely powered by 1960 to 1969 Aussie coins. I almost have enough but remember it's a long slow way back but is all equipped with fun items so we can all chill out although 60's music alone can do that. LOL Well that's the fantasy in my brain. Cheers and take care and hope my nonsense gave you a laugh. Peace.
Was 12 years old, thought then it was pure poetry. It still is. Never stop listening xx

I remember at fourteen taping this from the radio onto my reel to reel tape recorder, whilst wearing my Donovan cap and jean jacket. I idolised the man
Ever since first hearing this, this has always been one of my favourite songs.
There's something truly wonderful about the pure simplicity of it, as opposed to some of the OTT histrionics that blight a lot of modern songs.
Sometimes, less is most definitely more!
Yes - sometimes all you need is simplicity + creativity. One of Donovan's Great Classic Recordings from his Acoustic Period.
GLAD you enjoyed the video : )
THE definitive recording of this pure poetry set to music.
Simply beautiful.🙌🏻

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty
I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind
To feel you all around me
And to take your hand
Along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
When sundown pales the sky
I want to hide a while
Behind your smile
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find
For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing
T'would make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Diddy di dee dee diddy diddy
Diddy diddy diddy dee dee dee
When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind
For standin' in your heart
Is where I want to be
And long to be
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Unrequited Love...
Thank you... Beautiful lyrics... I'm 68 and cry when I hear this to this day....
Thanks.
I couldn’t believe he wrote such words as, “When rain has hung the leaves with tears, I want you near to kill my fears.”
That’s song writing. ✍️
@@logicalnotes5007 I remember first hearing and seeing him in his baggy old denims, on TV in 1965, and thinking it was like he'd just blown into the TV studio on a cool country breeze, smelling of hedgerows and sweet damp earth...
At last I get the lyrics "Ah, but I may as well." I was 17 in 1965 and remember this song, but didn't catch the lyrics well.
When rain has hung the leaves with tears 💔
Plagiarism!
Saw him perform “Sonnets of Donovan” at the Royal Albert Hall in London in the late 60s. Great song and great evening.
I remember I was my grandfathers Bus I was 6 or 7 years old 1968 or 69. He had numerous soldiers on the bus going to Vietnam! One of the soldiers had this song on his transistor radio! I absolutely love the song and went to the local Kmart and found this song on a 45! I still have it! I always associate this song with the soldiers going to Vietnam! I was awestruck by them! They were from all walks of life and jovial and friendly! The soldier listening to this song was a black man! He looked at said you like this song don’t you! I did obviously he told me I like it too! I never knew his name and I hope him and the other soldiers lived and returned home! God Bless all of them!
One of the brilliant 60`s songs I can listen and listen and listen....!
Many many more songjewels on 6 LP´s (!) I have..!
One of the great songsmiths of the 60s. Thanks.
Ehrliche Musik, Künstler steht im Vordergrund nicht tanzende Discoqueens. Danke Donovan + Co für ein tolle Jugenderfahrung. Die Musik höre ich heute noch mit über 70. Thks a lot

On my bucket list to see him play live before I leave this World.
Brilliant song, sung for such a valid reason for a beautiful person. The lyrics are stunning.
I was in the Navy 73-77. Not too long before I got out, I saw Donovan and Yes at Hampton Roads Coliseum in Norfolk. I enjoyed both, but really went to see Donovan, this and Hurdy Gurdy Man are great! Also Sunshine Superman. Sail On Sailor.

Yes! For sure ~ pure pulsating poetry...
The most touching love song I know 🌿🍀💛
Understated genius. Gift from God is the only way to appreciate this angel among us. Listening every day.

I skydived last summer..finally got to catch the wind...only took 70 years..."I want you near to catch my fears" love Donavan..a folk god.
It was released almost 10 months before my birth!!!!.It still charms.
What a handsome Lad he was--Ahh youth--Great song we all loved and still do.
dont make em like this anymore close my eyes think back off 1960s
Was!!, you mean is, he hasn't departed yet, is still with us and just as talented as he always was, God bless Donovan.
@@colinmiller5502 True, but he's not so much the handsome laddie any more - still just as wonderful, but more like a silver haired hippy wizard wise man... :-)
All of us Lads and Lassies whose youth is connected to Donovan’s music are lucky 🍀 indeed, whether we’re Scottish, Irish or born in a different continent!
☮️💟 & Music
@@NCJeanGenie Agreed. He was like a breath of country air arriving unexpectedly into the heart of 60s pop culture, in his baggy travel-stained denims, smelling of hedgerows and morning rain... :-)
This is real music Beautifull.
San Francisco's Winterland, 1967/or 68. The air was heavy with reefer smoke. It bathes me now when I hear this song. I was a senior in high school, 17, it doesn't get any better than that.
