Donovan Said

The track was created with the revolving collective of musicians that defined The Brian Jonestown Massacre's prolific mid-1990s period. The song exemplified the band's embrace of 1960s-inspired songwriting and psychedelic aesthetics at a time when alternative rock was dominated by post-grunge sounds. Its title and lyrical references reflected Anton Newcombe's admiration for Donovan and the broader British psychedelic tradition. The track has become a favourite among followers of The Brian Jonestown Massacre and is regularly cited as a standout from one of the band's most acclaimed albums. It helped establish the group's reputation as leading figures in the late-1990s psychedelic revival.
