...gut...
****
seine 2te single kam wie die erste auf #4 in GB..
****
Einfache, aber schöne Melodie! Eine 4.
****
Nicht schlecht.
****
Nur um den Schnitt zu halten, sonst eher Ø
****
▓ Een opsomming van de lievelingskleuren van "Donovan" zijn te beluisteren op deze nette plaat "Colours" uit juni 1965 (Holland) !!! Hij had er een grote Top 10 hit in de Hollandse hitlijsten mee !!! Afgerond: 4 sterren !!! (NL Top 40: 16 wk / # 8) !!!
******
Ich finds supi :)
*****
sehr guter Song
****
Eine schöne Nummer aus der Mitte der 60's.
****
Langweilig.
***
geht so...
****
... gut ...<br>
****
bildlich habe ich bei diesem Song aus Mitte der 60er eine gemütliche Bootsfahrt vor Augen - 4*...
****
schön...gemütlich...relaxed...chillig.... usw...
****
gefällt mir gut, eine runde 4!<br>
****
...auch Farben kann man besingen....wenn man sie sieht.....
****
US # 61 im Sommer 1965 - und so wenig eingängig ist's auch.
***
... finde ich sehr farblos ...

Erinnert an Paul McCartney's "Put It There". Gefällt mir gut.<br><br>CDN: #8, 1965<br>USA: #61, 1965
*****
... nicht nur farbenfroh, der Text ...
*****
So ist es, Farbenlinde sollten hier wenn irgendmöglich<br>weghören, sie würden sich sehrwahrscheinlich furchtbar<br>langweilen.....:)<br><br>Ganz knappe 5.<br><br>(4.75)

Einfach gestrickt, aber schön gesungen und gespielt.
***
magertjes
**
Mit diesem Gedudel kam er seinem Vorbild Bob Dylan schon gefährlich nahe.
****
Noch so einer der wenigen bekannten Songs von ihm. Da liegt er wirklich ganz nah bei Bob Dylan. Das ist musikalisch kein Kompliment.
****
<br>3,6.
****
durchaus anhörbar
****
gut
*****
Der Song gefällt mir. Schöne Melodie, einfache akustische Gitarre und ein bisschen Harmonika. Auch der Text ist cool.
*****
Die Mundharmonika ist nur auf der Singleversion zu hören, die mir deshalb etwas besser gefällt. Ein einfaches, aber wunderschönes Lied. 5+<br><br>@musikarchivdortmund: <br>ich habe die 2CD-Compilation 'Summer Day Reflections Songs' von Pye Records, die jeden aufgenommenen Song des Jahres 1965 von Donovan enthält und da fehlt die Mundharmonika eindeutig auf der Albumversion und das wird auch im Beiheft so vermerkt. Vielleicht ist Dein Fairytale-Album in einem Land veröffentlicht worden, die die Single-Version aufs Album genommen haben, anders kann ich es mir nicht erklären.

Also auf meiner "Fairy Tale" ist sie auch zu hören. Vergesst mir den Stand Up Bass nicht. Und @Dinocanarias, nix da. 6 Sterne. Farben- und überhaupt. :-)
****
Sanfte vier.
***
Langweilig.
****
Auch nicht besser oder schlechter als "Catch the Wind", aber bei beiden Songs stell ich mir die gleiche Frage : Wo ist die grosse Melodie???<br><br>#10 in Irland, Juli 1965!
*****
Ja, Bob Dylan kommt einen hier sofort in den Sinn. Und das ist musikalisch ein Kompliment.<br><br>Das es hier teilweise nicht die Anerkennung bekommt, welche das Stück verdient, wundert mich nicht - ich weiß ja, wo ich hier bin (aber lieber hier als anderswo - das muß an dieser Stelle auch mal gesagt werden).
*****
Sehr schöne Nummer, die man nicht so oft zu Ohren bekommt. 5+
****
Ein schöner Folksong mit eine sehr netten Melodie - Unter seinen ganz vielen tollen Songs aber nicht im Bereich meiner Favoriten
****
Ok popplaat ebn debuut van de Schotse zanger.
