Donovan says
'It was all impromptu. I visited the studio and David said ...
'Sit at the mics with your guitar Don'.
David in same room behind control desk with my Linda.
He had asked me to only bring in a song just emerging, not anywhere near finished.
We would see what happens. It happened!
I composed extempore ... the verses came naturally. New chord patterns effortlessly appeared.
On another day David 'Sound Sculpted' my Ferrington acoustic guitar 'Kelly' and he played his unique Modal Chord Ferrington Guitar textures with ‘Effects'.
David and I are 'Compadres' on a creative path rarely travelled.
And we bring TM Meditation to the world.
This Collaboration between David & I is an Appeal for Donations to help Donovan & Linda give TM Meditation to Cork Students.

I AM THE SHAMAN
Yon wheeling of great stars has cast a silver web around my heart
On an Elfin Sea in a Ship of Filigree
And look upon her prow - a sign upon her brow
She guides us on our way when hearts they go astray
Lorelei Lorelei who will dry your pretty eyes
Lorelei as you fly around those starry skies
Lorelei why O why why O why O Lorelei
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
All those wheeling of great stars they cast a spell on me
As I wander through the stars Linda Love and me
I don’t know how I got here but I know where I go
As I wander all I know all I know
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman
Yeah Mon - I am The Shaman

I'll just leave this comment here so that when someone likes or reacts to this comment I'll be reminded of this MASTERPIECE!

[@tutrialtv]

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.

[@dopeymark]

I met Donovan in a bar I worked in over 40 years ago. Stood up and had a beer and a brief conversation. One of the nicest "celebrities" I ever met.

[@h.p.dominocus]

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.

[@mikehiers]

With the life a sentient human like Donavan has Lived, I can believe he is a Shaman. Wish he were President :)

[@regmtait100]

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

[@scottthepoet9040]

still psychedelic after all these years

[@parharn]

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.

[@mrstigara]

❤Thank you❤

[@andrewblack7852]

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!!

[@nightheme365]

What a nice surprise seeing Donovan pop up as I was surfing!

[@rosegreen2787]

I met Donovan (when I worked at the performing arts center in Tampa). 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 of course already on the set list. By far one of the nicest celebrities ive met & I've worked with quite a few over the years

[@hellion7514]

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

[@happinessruns1481]

Donovan, I love you and your music for more than 30 years. Thank you!

[@Undulator369]

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

[@glenndespres5317]

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

[@strikerwoman]

i had to do a double, triple, even quadruple take when i saw the name…

[@user-qg7qz5el3x]

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

[@sandranix9615]

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

[@Nofun1]

Thank you always and forever
