Lyrics:
You've got to pick up every stitch
You've got to pick up every stitch
You've got to pick up every stitch
Mmm, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch
#Donovan #SeasonoftheWitch #OfficialAudio
One of the coolest songs ever written.
Agreed ! I watched the movie scary stories to tell in the dark in theatres and remember hearing it in the opening and thinking holy shit this song is badass and had to find it . I’m a bit surprised this song was made in the 60’s ! this dude was way ahead of his time .
Definitely,even my 25 yr old daughter thinks so n loves all my music n hates whatever they call that talentless monkey shit today!
@@breejames6323 Bree,u should really start listening to real music from 60s n 70s! That's when there were musicians that could read n write music! Rolling stones,the doors,Fleetwood Mac,Chicago transit authority,steely Dan,Elton,Queen,Led zeppelin,grand funk railroad,etc.......! My daughter is 25n listens to that instead of the shit u have today! It ended in the 90s w me
This and Black Magic Woman
@@lwoods7283 I love your daughters taste in music. I’m 35 and can’t stand the horrible dog shit they make today. There is absolutely not a shred of talent out there now. It’s all a bullshit gimmick today.
I had no idea Kristen Stewart was so talented as a musician.
Pllzzzzz😭😭😭
😆
Lol
:D :D :D :D
Hell, yeah!!!
Donovan's songs were so progressive. Eclectic mix of folk, pop, funk, psychedelic rock.
and jazz. He has the perfect jazz voice.
acid music
Unfortunately he was overshadowed by Dylan and was considered by some of the more hard-core rock fans to be a bit hippie dippie. But this song is not soft. I think he earned his place in the music world.
While my wife was showering I put on a Donovan album and was just getting mellow when she came out yelling what is this crap you're listening to. WOW what a difference 6 years makes. She's into all the hair bands. Now that stuff if cookie cutter crap in my view. I'll take Donovan any day.
@@JennysJukeboxdew My now ex hated the music I loved, and he only listened to commercial "country" stations that played lots of Carrie Underwood but never Willie or Johnny Cash. In the car, he listened to Rush... not the wonderful rockers from Canada, no... I was forced to listen to Limbaugh.🤢
That was a major red flag I wish I had paid attention to.
Timeless piece.
Could have easily been composed and recorded yesterday. Yet here it is some fifty seven years later.
Finest psychedelic tune of the Sixties
ua-cam.com/video/YB7664Z3mks/v-deo.html
Nothing this cool would have been recorded yesterday.
I agree. Music today is boring.
Man! This guy never got enough recognition. WAY ahead of his time.
I think he was never into the sould out soul concept. He was popular here in europe but he wanted it the healthy way.
Dont' know about that. this guy was mainstream in the 70's
much like the movie Halloween 3: Season Of the Witch
He got plenty of recognition when I was in high school. Everyone knew who Donovan was. He even had a TV special. Back then, you knew that you made it when you had your own TV special. Ask any boomer. If they were into music, as teenagers, they knew Donovan and his music.
Definitely
My cows died of an unknown disease, my wife is talking gibberish and my newborn is crawling around the ceiling...
Must be the season of the witch. Welcome to New England!
Children go through phases. I wouldn't worry too much about your baby, and don't all wives talk gibberish sometimes?
i love👁👄👁
Ugh, kids these days. Being ill-behaved earlier and earlier.
I suggest locking them in small closets, or trunks until they settle down and stop their demonic nonsense. You gotta be firm.
@@Theevil6ify - Should the trunk be airtight? You could do what one woman did. You could tape it to a wall and then brag about it on UA-cam.
I'm with Sean Bryon....... Eventually, the baby will settle down..... I wouldn't feed the meat to the wolves, though. Have a glass of Whisky, and watch some wrestling. Life is good..........
In which I reveal my age: I vividly remember when this was released. I bought the album it is on immediately. It was 1966. I have always loved it. Dripping with atmosphere and suggested, hinted at meanings. And such a great sound. I still have the LP I bought at the time, but I haven’t played it in years. This is the first time I have listened to it on UA-cam, and I have to say it amazes me! It must have been remastered or remixed at some point because I’m hearing all kinds of things in it, various instruments that jump out at me, that I never noticed before, or at least never paid much attention to. Now they slap me in the face! It is almost like hearing a new song, but with the comfortable familiarity of one you’ve known and loved for decades. I’ve just listened to it three times in a row, and I’m about to go for a fourth. Thank you!
For me, it IS a new song. I can't believe it took me 50 years to finally listen to it! Right now is my first time, and I'm glad to hear this. Some friends of mine covered it last night at a performance in Buffalo. That peaked my interest. Unusual, because I love the music from the 60s and normally don't need to be sparked like that. This is SO amazing!
🎉 1:56
My god, it is something what the sound engineers have done in recent times, ain’t it? Talk about picking up every stitch!
This song is how I get into Halloween each year
Same!!
Perfect song to get you in the halloween mood! 🖤
The resemblance is crazy
Do you know other songs for Halloween like this?
It's on my Samhain Playlist
*we don’t care why you’re here. we’re just glad you are. it’s nice to see you around:)*
mellilla thx😊
We're all here because we're not all there
CatWearingAHat spitting straight facts
i fuckin love the comments here u guys are weird asf
666th like ;)
I had a girlfriend around this time (1967) that had long beautiful auburn hair and when we would hung out in her room, she was always crocheting something. She was very fast, and her stitches were perfectly formed & spaced. So, one day I asked her, how do you do that? "Come here and I'll show you". Long story short...I was all thumbs, I couldn't get it right at all and I remember her looking at me, saying, "you've got to pickup every stitch" otherwise it gets to be a mess. I think Donovan must have had a similar experience and just started rhyming lines that went with this statement.
I assumed he meant you have to nag every problem but wtf in general are these lyrics, lol
I really enjoyed reading this comment. Thank you for posting.
BLESSING TO ALL WOMEN.....MYSTICAL FEMALE..........SO SPECIAL AND EVEN SGARRAY.......MYSTIC LIFE SO LOVE FEMALES....BVLESSINGS.
That’s just so freaking beautiful man I envy you boomers and 60s kids who had such a great generation on music and this is coming from a 22 year old Listening to this in October 2021 cause it’s spooky season
She may have been a witch💜 ; )
Jimmy Page on lead guitar, John Paul Jones on organ, and Donovan's voice...a perfect combination!
Hi
@Donovan Hi There!!! I haven't, I was born in the early 1960's, but my husband and I have driven across this country many times with your cd's slammed in the player with the windows down. Pure Joy! Thank You!!!
Please come to Woodstock "Bethel Woods" !!!!! We will be there in a heartbeat!!!
@Donovan I love so many, but my favorites of all time are Catch the Wind and Colours from 1965. Brilliantly sensitive and beautiful from start to finish!!
Songs from '66 right through '68 amazing as well. Timeless to this day.
Really ? I didn't know Page played on this.
This song never fails to make me feel like I'm walking on a crisp Fall day, wearing my favorite sweater, red and yellow leaves drifting underneath my boots.
True,and seeing all the ghosts and skeletons hanging in the trees blowing in the wind.
This track oozes so much atmosphere. As important as the chords are, the slinkily arhythmic guitar and bass lines are what give this song its paranoid swagger. The way the downbeat gets subsumed by backbeat and syncopation in the verses is awesome and adds a lot to the track’s uneasy groove.
“Sure is strange” indeed
What a great description!
Thanks for that explanation. Useful as I just get lost in the music.
that's a lot of $10 words for this $5 room
Fantastic description. “Uneasy groove”
Subsumed! Love that word. Never thought I'd see it in a UA-cam comment section. Bravo! Yes, uneasy is right. And adding to the atmosphere is the sotto voce of the verse morphing into the anguished wail of the chorus.
Finally is October 1st, officially is the season of the witch. 🎃
Best time of the year 🎃
🤘🎃
That's why I'm here 🍂🍁🍂
Same
My gf, nephew, and only two sisters all have Birthday's in this month!!!
Man, its Monday July 24th, 2023. I am blasting this from my speakers, windows open, cleaning up, sun is shining. SUCH. A. VIBE.
Same but I was cutting a black mull berry tree down, and let me tell you this song gives you strength to pick up heavy stuff like dancing 😂
Make sure to pick up every stitch 😂
August 24..2023.✌️
August 31st. Not waiting for October.
@@teaze7202😂that’s what I thought too when playing this song.
Something about music from the 60s and 70s, i never get tired of hearing the songs. They never get old
People grow older, but the music stays the same. But there's something magical though about 60s and 70s for sure
The sixties had a different take on music than we do today. A lot of what they sung about were things going on at that time. Today is a joke.
They were memorable
It was a time before the non-musician label execs told the artists what to play and how to play it…they just let them have at it and magic was made. Sadly those days are long gone…
@@keeranimal8way before boy/ girl bands and Disney bands. So much tripe out there on the radio now. They never play today's real music but it's out there.
I wonder if Donovan was sitting in his room thinking, "Wonder what rhymes with witch?"
Witch
Bitch
Wich
Stich
Etc....
Lol! Good one! Ah ah!
All I can think of is ditch and htch! Lol!
hitch
My problem is trying to make "witch" rhyme with "Hillary Clinton".
The atmosphere, the melody, the voice of singer... no one can beat this version, to me.
I'm here b/c of lana, but you may be right - it's groovy AF.
Must be the season of the witch.
Dr. John's version from BB2K was pretty good, too.
give Hole’s version of this song a try !!
Melody
A great talent from the 1960 "s I hope the younger folks can, dig it. Peace and Love
I’m 15 and I love the 60s music!
I'm 15 too I don't listen to much 60's music but I absolutely love this song!
My drummer just turned me onto Donovan. How I made it 30 years without hearing this, I’ll never know!
I’m 13 and all I listen to is 50s and 60s music!
✌ ❤
I have no idea why but this song just popped up into my head and I totally forgot how great this song is
Me too

@@GHOSTBOY703 Hug them. They gave up the freedom of movement to support other life on the planet.
Lived in a commune when this song came out, wore tapestry dresses, slept on a waterbed, acid trips and long sundays in the park with equally high people, lovely boys, hash and hookahs, that's what this reminds me of.
@@dicklimerick7 Nah, I married a guy who was sexier than Robert Plant back in the day, at 19. great-hearted guy with an unfortunate addiction to alcohol and weed, which seemed normal to me at the time, go figure. carried on until our mid-30s and then i had to get out. was a wild ride while it lasted. made the wrong choice for all the right reasons, but sometimes the right reasons aren't enough.

This would be the best opening to a Tarantino style film.
Or scary stories to tell in the dark
I think they used it in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Not sure tho
Quentin Tarantino presents OZ?

Also used in the movie More American Graffiti that's where I first heard it late 80s as a kid

Woooooooooooooooooooooow…….. lol
aaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy
LMAOOO
Tbh Donovan would still make a prettier girl. And with more personality.
I had a friend in jr. high whose dad was a Seattle Police Officer and he would work the concerts so things didn't get out of control. The first concert I went to was Donovan. He came out in a long white robe and there were flowers covering with entire stage. I've never forgotten how cool he was. Amazing guy!
Wow small world. My father was an SPD officer when I was a teenager. I used to get let in a half hour before they opened the doors. It was all ways festival seating so I sat wherever I wanted. Saw a lot of band sound checks and warm ups. It was awesome!
i went to a dov concert in seattle, was a solo appearence. so cool.

Smoked weed with two SPD's at Pink Floyd at Hec Ed pavilion in 73 on the south stairs. Thought we were being busted at first! Gave me a whole different view of Law Enforcement.

The Hurdy Gurdy man was so under rated. A great musician.
Far from underrated. Maybe not mainstream such as The Beatles but just about everyone that comes across his tunes ends up hooked . It's timeless .

If 2020 has a song, must be The Season of the Witch.
You're right 💀
It's the truth
If February had a song.........
Covid 19 . Still rockin
Yes
Never charted, never released as a single, still managed to become a classic rock staple. 55 years later, this is just as great as ever.
Or the other way around. Probably reciprocal.
Still stands up now.....classic!!!!

This song came out in 1966, I remember hearing it frequently on the radio in the late 1960s, especially when I lived in San Francisco in 1968.
IMO, Gus Van Sant's movie 'To Die For' (Nicole Kidman) probably did more to promote this tune than anything else. Al Kooper & Steven Stills did a very good musical version on 'Super Session' as well.
Love to see the intersection of Donovan fans and Destiny 2 fans right now
An iconic 60s tune with that spaced out guitar and trippy vibe. Tripping now while listening to this rare jewel. Not something you hear on the radio anymore. Does stir up memories of my misspent youth.
All of the world history's known cliches in four sentences!
Not something you heard on the radio back then either. The song was a flop.
@@markevan1__ You have to remember the greedy, grasping music industry was filled with, ah, "promoters" seeking to get get rich quick off these highly talented young musicians of the 60's. The problem with Donovan was he couldn't be pegged into one genre to be marketed. He was a talented unicorn, so the industry that LOVED the Beatles, didn't embrace him.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. 🖤
"Was a waste of my time" is how that sentence should end.
@@henchmen999 wdym it was a great movie!
Worst movie ever
In the Dark Shadows.
I agree the movie was a fat turd left on the side of the road
This is one of my all time favorites. The rustic guitar and the overall feeling of edge on the high notes and outbursts of volume. The whole song smells like cigarettes if that makes sense. Great song.
Yes, yes, thank you! I thought I smelled cigarettes listening to this song! Made me grab my acoustic and jam on it!
For me, it smells like incense and afrodisiac oils
ua-cam.com/video/YB7664Z3mks/v-deo.html
I see glass ashtrays and orange carpet
Maybe Lucky Strikes, late at night, in a bar that smells ancient and sad, in a part of town you just don't go... Smells like excitement and danger!
Miss those "hippie" days of 1967-72!
OMG! So do I. Brings back such good memories.
I was ready to go to Canada!
In the end did not have to!! On

I absolutely love songs that sound like this, they just inspire my artistic side soo much. I have created so much art listening to music like this and just brings a smile to my face :)
You mean psychedelic music? If you want more psychedelic music, I’d highly recommend the band Jess and the Ancient Ones.

Still making art?

@@bobbiebodily6563 you should.
It's so uncanny how the beginning of the verses sound like velvet underground then turns into the doors by the end of the verse and definitely the chorus! That's what my ears hear anyway. Great song from the greatest period of music ever!
Me and the boys listening to this absolute banger during Season of the Witch 💃💃
The other guys 😁
first thing i thought of when i loaded up the new season day one. had it stuck in my head
I’m 43 yrs old and this past summer is the first time I’ve ever heard this song! I was surprised to learn it was from ‘66! Oldies Stations don’t play it enough!
Listen to the 'Super Sessions' version you won't be disappointed.
I'm 61 grew up with this song AM radio to the ear , Donovan was to England as Bob Dyland was to America
I'm surprised it's from that early too, I thought it was from the early 70s
Bonus
I'm 59.75 yo, & this is one song that has aged beautifully
Jimmy Page plays the guitar on this track
Wow didn't know that, I know he does The Hurdy Gurdy Man, though! Rick Wakeman did Space Oddity and Life on mars by Bowie! Just saying!
Damn, I actually was not aware of this. I know the guitar on “Hurdy Gurdy Man” is heavily disputed and denied by Jimmy Page himself. But I had no clue he actually played on “Season of the Witch”. Thank you! :)
@@psychedelicpiper999 It sure looks like we learn something new everyday!
60s Addict cool
I wonder why Jimmy would deny playing on that track?
I love the clarity each instrument(Including vocals) is recorded with. Think about it.... This song is 55 years old.
and i have the original album.....plus the cds.....why has he been forgotten?.......
I’ve pretty much got this on repeat since I first heard it on KPIG radio this week. Happy Halloween Peoples 🛸🎃🌊👀🤟🏽
Happy Halloween 🎃
Here because I’m high on shrooms and my friend Kat is a god damn legend for showing me this song.

Actually it was on my recommendations...
Came here from 'The Simpsons'.

legit my fav song. thank you, Donovan
Love this song now & loved it in 1967, Donovan a great singer always. ❤❤❤
Donovan's music and songs were the most unique of all in that era.
When I first walked on campus, this was the song blasting from a dorm window defining the moment.
Niiiiice !! Oh hell yeah
Good times...
Perfection
Who else feels like this is the 2020 anthem?! Soothes me 💜💜🦋 love to all! 🧚🏻♀️
I think "No Fun" from The Stooges is the 2020 covid/quarantine song. I have been coming up with some slightly modified lyrics to suit. Like: Can't go out/Gotta stay home/Can only call mom on the telephone. And: No fun/covid/yer no fun. No fun/quarantine/yer no fun. No fun to stay at home/feeling that covid way/no fun to be alone/freaked out for another day. Lol. Not quite finished yet

Watch out for those Beatniks.. and the Witch..is always there...Classic Donovan!
Beatniks, now that's old 50's lingo from the coffee shop. I'm not sure if the hippy is a descendent of those cool man cool daddy o beatniks or not. I like the Edd Byrnes song "Kookie Kookie Lend Me Your Comb".
the layering and the vibe is truly sensational.
I love Donovan, saw him live in 1977.
First time ever hearing it and I'm 61 I'm blown away I love it.....
Oh boy. Can't wait to see this song featured in all of the Destiny 2 edits for the next 3 months. 😂
It works well with Eris turning into her new form cutscene pretty well lmao. Was gonna make one for witch queen but this is literally too perfect
im here cause i grew up on this cause my dad made a cd of all the best halloween or halloween themed songs. this was always one (along with a few others) that i especially loved on that disc. and still love!! the 60's rock.
I'm gonna make a Halloween soundtrack with this on it. It'll also include a lot of Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Judas Priest, The Rolling Stones, Slipknot, Ghoultown, Pink Floyd, Rob/White Zombie, Mötorhead, Avenged Sevenfold, The Doors, Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath, and plenty more.

Same here I went to google the song just after I heard it hhh
This song was also used at the end of the dark comedy To Die For starring Nicole Kidman.
Seriously?! Wow.. I've known this song my entire life. . . . I'm 31.
What a fantastic song, even after all this time. Mark of a classic.
Perfect for Halloween - I may have to learn this song for the occasion
Hi … A7 D7/F# and E (or E7) are the only chords you need … pretty simple song … have a good one.
I was in 8th grade. Mod was IN FASHION. Flower & paisley shirts, high collar, big sleeves, bright colors, with white pants.
Juke box favorite.
🤓 yeah, Donovan was the flower child . . .
I bought the single 'Atlantis' when I was a kid . I had to hear it after they stopped playing it on the radio . Some songs you just can't do without .
Wow ❤❤
(Not cause of fashion) I wake up every day wanting to be u
Were talking about being young in the 60's I think right?
Slow dance at High School dances!!
The opening scene to scary stories to tell in the dark with this song was so nostalgic and memorable and the use of the song with the radio announcing Halloween and bringing up the song then playing it was amazing, then the Lana del Rey version at the end was good, overall the whole movie was pretty good
I was born in 94 and the song gave me chills when I watched the movie!!
What was the name of the scary movie?

I’m here because of Donovan and its original song
Sabbath o'neil Me, too...
Good for you. You should be happy others are here too
Emma Dorova I'm happy whenever people discover good music, however they come to it! 🎶😊🎶 Good music is timeless...
Sabbath o'neil ok you win
Good night Punpun. ♡
i can remember when Wolfman Jack played this on the radio we had to go to confession twice that week all because we liked it. lol
True story??? That's crazy 😁
Thanks God I was raised Methodist! In other words I never had to go to confession.
This is one of my favourite tunes, I just love this timeless song
I saw Donavan live. It was just him and his guitar. He was so great. It was a beautiful evening.
That first 1 minutes 20 seconds of this SOTW are surely in the Top Whatever of rock genius. Mr Leitch is a chronically underrated innovator.
Perfect song for Halloween or for any occasion during the year. Correction. Perfect song to listen to 365 days of the year. :)
it was Heil Hitllary Lady MacClintons FIRST choice for a campaign slogan... but then the DNC said..... hmmmmmm wellll yeahhhhh.... NO!
I found this song back in 2007 and fell in love. This song is magically and beautifully timeless and brings out my Inner 60s gypsy witch. I was born in '77 so I had just met this new version of me. Looovvveeee herrrrrrr!!!! She is a free loving, acid tripping, healing, light worker that rambles on. The autumn moon lights her way ☮️
ConsumerWarrior or 666 hehe 😉
More perfect to play during quarantine

I was born in 2000 and I'm mad that I wasn't able to experience the period of time when this music was written. Masterpiece
I was born in 1990 and I say the same thing all the time. Born in the wrong time period.
Born in 78'. Same
This song is as cool as it gets folks. Nothing comes close to this beauty in this time of age.
Favorite Songs per Decade:
1960s: Season of the Witch-Donovan

Great selection, I love most of these, but there's two I gotta listen to
What are those?
@@jacobylawhorn8063 Night of the vampire, and don't fight the moonlight
Nice spooky one my man, I'm pleased.
Maybe early Danzig (killer wolf) and some by Gun Club and the Cramps could fit in this ghastly list too.
And I favor B.O.C.'s astronomy over the reaper.
And... Oh well, I've enjoyed your tracks
Why can't there be music like this everywhere. THIS SHIT IS WHAT MUSIC SHOULD BE

His lyrics and choice of words always grabbed me. At 73, I can sing all the word s to Catch The Wind and. Wear your Love Like Heaven. I loved the way he used words. I always said he was a bard.
Real Classic Rock n Roll with A Twist
Gives me goosebumps every time.....
This song brings out my teen years. Smoking pot and just tripping out. The norm for the 60's and 70's! Flower Children unite!
Hi, Liz. Could I ask if you remember the ‘60s band Coven? They were fronted by Jinx Dawson. I’ve been wanting to ask people who were actually around to witness the mid to late ‘60s firsthand if they knew about the band Coven at the time. Have you heard of Coven or Jinx Dawson? I’ve been hoping to find people who actually saw Coven perform, or even just knew something about them, during the mid to late ‘60s.
I was there with you passing that joint at golden gate park?
There's a book called Season of the Witch(Named after this song of course) about the turbulent history of San Francisco between 1967 and 1982. It's a good read if San Francisco is special to you, if you like that period of history, or if you just want to read a really good book.
A real car-stopper for me when it was published in 1966. Still gives me goose pimples.
Donovan is ethereal! He probably was not born earth side. He fell to earth
from another planet...his vocals are mesmerizing..his personae is so other wordly.... he defines the word unique. Donovan is inimitable! Lyricist, singer, musician.....
I was working on my website yesterday, shifting to a spiritually based practice adding Tarot readings, listening to Spotify and this song was selected. I had to come here and listen again and again. I am a Good Witch.
Plz tell me if I’ll be a big handsome boy when I grow up
@@matthewarcati403 If you can imagine yourself that way and feel good about it, then yes!
Woke up Nostalgic for music I grew up listening to on the car radio .... Love it! Forgot how much I loved Donovan!
This is one of my favourite tunes just resonates
"You've got to pick up every stitch"
I put on this tune because JESUS picks up every stitch!
Runs deep.
Somewhere, I bought a Donovan 4 CD set. Top shelf - one of the best CD sets one can have.
Scary stories to tell in the Dark.
Happy Halloween yall.
Indicates that Donovan has a wide range of guitar playing talent. His guitar riff on Sunshine Superman is hard to surpass. Sometimes I get the feeling that there is some type of a huge lockdown grid hovering overhead with info, like discovering links never read by me but not unfamiliar.
Amazing singer/songwriter of the 60's,underrated all day long.
I WILL be playing this song all October long 🎃
Who wouldn't
Me too bruh.
@@PatrickPierceBateman Squad much
I WILL be playing this song all year long.
@@BridgetStuart ah yes spoopy vibes all the time
