@@xxxsaraHelloxxx Hi Mary if you dont mind What were you into musically ? i too adore this one so much and i am lucky to have an older brother, i have such a huge list of music from Donovan to Led Zepp to Kate Bush and all in between :)
It was a gorgeous dream that came and went too quickly, could have brought in care for mankind and peace for the planet. Some of us remember, love to all.
We're back... to finish the job :).. Waves they witnessed were the forerunners of us... The dreams they saw live once more, and this time... we flood the world... Dream Gorgeous David... You care, remember and love... Never give up... Catch the waves... Love is the seventh one... I see you... and the fire within...
'66 SF saw him LIVE & never was the same. a sit-down show with him & sitar in a boat draped with colored silks. whole room thick with incense. electric Blue-eyed Angel who transported the whole room to Heaven psychedelisized me BEFORE LSD.
Thanks to all of you. I was there as well.. people now have no idea how timely and talented/unique and on spot he was in the 60s. So many memories with his songs. ✌❤🌸
This song I believe came out in 1966 I was 8. Years old, and I remember this song like it was yesterday. Music is so soothing to the soul and it's so comforting. Everyone needs to remember that❤❤❤❤❤
@@tonyde52 I was born in 51. I used to make absolutely gorgeous hippie clothes, velvet vests and tunics, embroidered bell bottoms, white batiste bloused with layers of ribbon and insertion, Gunnesax style dresses. Of course my hair was the required waist length and I wore tons of eye makeup and nothing else. Those were the days.
I do think Wear Your Love Like Heaven is loved by many men. The song the women love is - Colours - a decent but not great song. Donovan could write paint-by-dot number songs to lure in a lot of pretty women.
Yep, I heard Van Halen's "Jump" on K-Earth 101 the other day. I know that's old enough to be considered an oldie now...but it sure makes me feel old. And 'regular' radio no longer risks playing most songs from the 60's (or any decade, really) which didn't get much airplay once they fell off the Billboard charts. Their library is too limited and it's annoying, especially if I don't want to pay for satellite radio. That's why I love UA-cam too- I can play these treasures any time.
These are the times whereknew it'd lead eventually. Dialing through the AM/FM , in vain for years ,it's apparent what all is phased out ( it's not "merely or just" radio. It MATTERS to us , shaped us.) Womp womp :/ I too use UA-cam 2music . .much deeper catalog. I hope it's not shoved off into digital satellite sources with pay contracts,anyway . (For a few reasons..) 🎶😊
Such a cool 60's song. I was a kid when this song hit and it floods my head with specific memories of hanging out and playing records with my older, hot, hippy cousin and a couple of her girlfriends. She was/is a real sweetheart and she never treated me like a little kid, and we always had great times together. Sidenote: That's Donovan on Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Baby," repeating the bridge line; "We go dancing nightly in the attic..."

I’m not sure “Allah” the God worshipped in Islam is being referred to in the song. I don’t think many in the west were familiar with the teachings of Islam in the ‘60s. It may be “à la” meaning “in the manner of.” But, I could be wrong.
@@McFeedback1968 thanks for the info. When this song came out I was 10 and lived in America, so I certainly didn’t have a lot of information about English society at the time this song came out. I knew Indian culture and religion was being embraced by George Harrison and others, so there was an awareness of religions other than Judaism and Christianity, but I didn’t know if it extended to Islam.
I was turned on to Donovan by my brother when he brought home Donovans 5th album released in December of 1967 " A gift of a flower to a garden " I was 16. I was blessed to see him at Madison Square Garden in October 17, 1969, Donovan carried on to the stage set in the Center of the arena floor and covered with white rose pedals. A beautiful show a talented underrated artist and a loving crowd. A special night.
Recorded at Anaheim Convention Center. I was there It was the most mystical experience. He cast a wonderful musical spell over the audience, taking us on a journey to a beautiful, poetic, world of love
Your music from the 60s and 70s is still popular with your children and grandchildren. I was born in 86' and my cousins were born in the early 2000s and we love this music.
I was 9 years old and this song and the rest of the music and lyrics by too many artist to name.transformed me. All there to offer was am radio with 1 speaker and that’s we needed
saw him in Santa Monica doing a solo concert, with my sister, she is gone sixteen years now, we both had an out of body experience together floating around the ceiling
about fifteen years that is since the sister passed from ovarian cancer that is, leaving four kids, one got Phi Beta Kappa at the University of California, Santa Cruz, my alma mater, and one graduated Mills College, the UCSC grad has music videos now too, was top of her department, and teaches underprivileged kids in New Orleans
I've had some beautiful experiences on psychedelics where it felt like another person and I have transcended our bodies. Was this LSD? Sorry to hear about the loss of your sister, but she sounds like a wonderful person.
Back in the day, I lived in Waynesboro, VA. I had a little white and silver Sears transistor radio that I played constantly. And I had a clunky little lo-fi tape recorder. When I heard a song I liked on the radio, I clicked on the tape recorder but always missed the first five or so seconds of the song. ; ^ ) Anyway, I had a tape I loved that included this song, followed by Itchycoo Park and White Rabbit. Wish I could remember the rest of the songs, I'd recreate that tape digitally.
Last week the melody of this song ran thru my head. I was a child when this song was released, I remembered it because my oldest brother 9 years older than I, would play it. I’ve never known who wrote,or performed it,or the name of the song. My search is over, for this one at least.
Donovan was the first Bob Ross -"Color In Sky Prussian Blue". "Color Sky Havana Lake, Rose Calmethene..Alizarin Crimson". "It's your little world. You can do whatver you want."
If we could only get back to those love inspired days, when people were attempting to change the world into a world of humanity, peace and love and the preservation of the planet. It all went to crap so quickly. :(
Well, no, they weren't trying to change the world into a world of humanity bla bla bla. They were cutting class, taking drugs and screwing. And cutting class. And it was fantastic. And it will never, never happen again.
I discovered Donovan’s Greatest Hits when my friend’s dad gave him a reel-to-reel deck and tape reels in 1992. We were 14. This was on it. This and Lalena made me fall in love with him. He’s great.

@@andiekelly3373 You are absolutely right! From the album that I have, Summer Day Reflection Songs, the insert reads that Donovan was born in Maryhill, near Glasgow. Shall slash my wrists now...
Haven't listened to this over 30 yrs .I'm singing along and know every word note and nuance. Timelessness!!!! I'm still wearing my love like heaven . Blessing humanity to once again stand up to the tyranny so we can finally Live Heaven On Earth! I 💗🙏💗🙌
As always, Donovan has been helping me though so much in my life. He shares so much hope and love in both his music and his words and I adore him and Linda too.
@Thedonovanofficial. my goodness I absolutely wish I could attend one of your concerts! I am forever hoping to see locations near to me so that I can attend and bring my daughters who also love your music and grew up listening to it :) ( I'm in northern Ontario in Canada, so I'm across the pond so to speak)
Donovan had so many great songs and carved out a niche that was his and his alone. I remember this song was used in a commercial selling shampoo. We had so many greats back in the day. The 60s and 70s were a golden age for popular music. You can go down the radio dial and find 3 or 4 stations playing our music, but in 1970 you couldn't do that and find several stations playing 20s and 30s music. Unfortunately, what is lost on younger listeners is the feeling of the time that provides so much context.
If you aren't old enough to remember, or just don't remember what the 60s felt like....it felt like THIS
You are so right.
How about black people. Did the 60s feel like this to them, too?

Nothing wrong with being an old hippie. I've not heard this song for many years when I found it referenced, elsewhere. It still has the magic....

I have never met a woman who didn't love this song......
So what you are saying is; before laying with a woman and they ask "do you wear protection?" you respond " I wear my love like heaven"
Muslims love this too. "Allah, kiss me once more That I may, that I may"
I agree!

Yeah!
And that was one amazing album-come all you starry starfish,,,, ! Oh the music oh the times 👌🙏😁☮️
Most underrated musician ever.✌🏻️✌🏻✌🏻
Best interview...He taught George Harrison a few things.
yeah I think so because he did score a lot of big hits but he isn't mentioned in the big summaries about 60s music.
You have to realize that at that time, Donovan was as big as all four Beatles together!
I agree
Zero Ohms In the US? No, he wasn't.

@@pennypay1I do agree with what you write and want to add that You Tube has turned our cell phones into miniature juke boxes! No money needed.
Modern radio won't play this as he actually enunciates as he sings. You can understand it. It's not pummeling your eardrums. Sad days, indeed.
This song was the background music for a perfume commercial (not sure which) in the late 60's, 1968ish.

agreed, however, Donovan is Scottish. But you are right since many Scots identify as Brits in some degrees.
Almost forgotten? Donovan is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame dude. I think you need to go home and get your f**kin shinebox.

This was my introduction to soft rock.
Donovan wrote over 50 masterpieces; a vast achievement.
Was pretty surprised this song only reached #23 on the US charts. It’s a perfect pop song to me.
To be fair, the competition was pretty good in the’60s.
It was too profound at the time!
Maybe so but they sure played it plenty on the radio. It was even the song featured on a cosmetic commercial.
Favorite song by Donovan. Used in the Love cosmetics ad campaigns in the late 60's, early 70's. Very effective.
I remember seeing those commercials and hearing this song while watching Hullabaloo on tv!!!
You're right! I totally forgot that!
Nostalgia is my middle name. I used Love's shampoo and Yardley eyeshadow.

Out of no where this song popped into my head today. I haven't heard it in years - and forgot the title, but I knew I could find it here on YT. 👍✌🎶🙂
That was my problem, I did not know the title to this song, was searching for years!
Donovan was the first Bob Ross -"Color In Sky Prussian Blue". "Color Sky Havana Lake, Rose Calmethene..Alizarin Crimson". "It's your little world. You can do whatver you want."
"I just realized, I am the 'Ow' in the word 'now'"
I remember saving up to purchase my first Donovan LP. That was decades ago.
He was extremely popular.
Beautiful song. The memories it brings.

Well, some of us aren't old so we learned it from Homer getting high and its great.
@@adambomb138 well, hopefully you will be some day :)
Love that Glorious Scottish accent in this song!
Is that what it is? I had no idea, I'm terrible with accents, I thought he was English!!?
@@Strawberryyyyyyy1277 yes, he is Scottish
It's tricky too cause Donovan is an Irish name
That's always stood out to me in this song too! When he says crimson 🎵🍄
@@Lugh444 His grandmothers were Irish. --Wikipedia
this whole album is so good. when I found it at my local record shop, a few months ago. I had to get it. Best 25$ I ever spent. it was even complete, with the folder. and all the lyric sheets .
I first heard this song in a perfume commercial! I put that, this original and a cover by Sarah MacLachlan in my Donovan playlist.
Eau de Love perfume commercial from '69 - '70. I still have a sample bottle of it from back then.
hi could you tell me if this eau de love a real one ? or is it fake ? i try to find a real ''Eau de Love'' by Love Cosmetics that they used to do at your era www.quirkyfinds.com/products/menley-james-eau-de-love-cologne?_pos=1&_sid=235abc191&_ss=r
@@tehalwest814 Uhh..no.. I'm a man well into my 60's! Too old for wearing perfume!
I love this song! I have Scottish heritage, so I feel a special bond to Donovan.
I thought he was Irish.
@@johncater7861 Donovan is from Scotland. Aye, he is Scottish.
@@andiekelly3373 You are absolutely right! From the album that I have, Summer Day Reflection Songs, the insert reads that Donovan was born in Maryhill, near Glasgow. Shall slash my wrists now...
Even though I was born in 1971, this song reminds me of my childhood. Hippy times were good times.
One of my all time favorite recordings...
my youngest Daughter - a Fav of hers. I am 72 now and that will give you an idea of what i shared with my Daughters/Family.
The godfather of alternative. Beck before beck
that organ...Hammond B3? whatever it is it's blissful.
bigtex---yes, with a Leslie
Love Donovan, really love this song!!! ♥
大好きな、曲です。
久しぶりに、若いころへ。
Donovan was definitely a Force back then and remains one to me now
Haven't listened to this over 30 yrs .I'm singing along and know every word note and nuance.
Timelessness!!!! I'm still wearing my love like heaven .
Blessing humanity to once again stand up to the tyranny so we can finally Live Heaven On Earth! I 💗🙏💗🙌
An old TV ad for Yardley of London brought me here. So did my memories of a long-past Spring. For Jackie, Kelly and Kathy.
Like everything Harry Nilsson does, this song is so groovy and lovely.
For the other commenters, my sympathies and condolences!
One of my all time favorite recordings…
This is one song whose message I try to live. Lord knows how hard it is but I certainly try! Lol.
Ill never forget listening to this song with you uncle rest in love 💔
Erica Rueda I'm sorry for your loss ❤️ I like rest in love ❣️ will say that for my father 💕
As always, Donovan has been helping me though so much in my life. He shares so much hope and love in both his music and his words and I adore him and Linda too.
@Thedonovanofficial. my goodness I absolutely wish I could attend one of your concerts! I am forever hoping to see locations near to me so that I can attend and bring my daughters who also love your music and grew up listening to it :) ( I'm in northern Ontario in Canada, so I'm across the pond so to speak)
@Thedonovanofficial. my entire life on this planet has been absolutely filled with music 😀
@Thedonovanofficial. I'm in Ontario in Canada
@Thedonovanofficial. that isn't fair ! There are too many to list and absolutely not just one 😀
@Thedonovanofficial. disclose what?
I've had Donovan's Greatest Hits in Vinyl, Cassette, CD & now iTunes!! His sound is AGELESS....just like me. 😍
I was thinking the same thing. Great music is ageless and timeless.
This was a theme song for a type of perfume. Featuring some beautiful English " Birds" . Tall , thin , mini- skirts + boots . Memories of my youth .
company, for the perfume was Yardley
@@frankgarber5879 That's it . Thank you !
@@jimfritz2087 You’re very welcome
reminds me of dancing in my room when I was a kid to Donovan with paper flowers in one hand and my big sister’s tamborine in the other.
In the 2000s I had coffee with his daughter Ione Skye at a metaphysical church in Burbank. What a doll.
Love Donovan, always makes me feel amazing! 😊
"Cannot believe what I see
All I have wished for will be
All our race proud and free
Wear your love like heaven ..."
Utter celestial poetry
Are you a parrot
Thanks for those lyrics
i agree, this is one of the best songs I've ever heard
love that opening snare drum hit at 0:05
Alex Viguerie the percussion is quite nice on this song
I woke up this morning with this song playing in my head, and I don't even know the lyrics!
But I had to hear it!
Peace & Love
;o)
a beautiful melody for in the morning
I don't care what anyone says. This is the best song to trip 2
No argument there. I just finished a brownie and cookie, 420. Peace.
This is a good one for sure. The Moody Blues' "Thinking is the best way to travel" ain't bad either.
Nah smoking weed is more the vibe
one of the best lyrics ever written
My childhood was awesome
Me, too! Born in 56
The older we get, the more we know that
Still listening in 2024 !!!😊
Donovan had so many great songs and carved out a niche that was his and his alone.
I remember this song was used in a commercial selling shampoo.
We had so many greats back in the day.
The 60s and 70s were a golden age for popular music.
You can go down the radio dial and find 3 or 4 stations playing our music, but in 1970 you couldn't do that and find several stations playing 20s and 30s music.
Unfortunately, what is lost on younger listeners is the feeling of the time that provides so much context.
I want my morning wake up alarm to be this song.
I’d start every day 😍 in love
