Pure exciting psychodelic rock that can congure up visions without any drugs at all!

I can listen to it all day long

I can't really classify myself as a Donovan "fan" but this is a great song that still stands up. Was used on the soundtrack of the film "L.I.E." with the superb Irish actor Brian Cox to great effect.

Great song, with some excellent studio work. Donovan's high water mark, in my opinion.

Great song. The intro itself may be the best 30 seconds worth of psychedelia thats ever been recorded. It's like Cockers 'With a Little Help from my Friends', in as much as Page does very creditable studio work, with a similar sound and flattened out vibe. It's not quite like a great Zeppelin tune...but you appreciate the angle Page is coming from. Easily my favorite Donovan song, (and oh yeah, DONOVAN has a lot to do with it ,as well).

Everyone in Led Zeppelin except for Plant played on this great song, which was pretty heavy by Donovan standards. Great guitar work from Page and a guy named Allan Holdsworth.One of his biggest,and best, hits- a kind of meeting point between psychedelic rock, hard rock, and folk.
