Donovan - Atlantis (1968)



Side A:
Atlantis

Side B:
I Love My Shirt

'Atlantis' is my Dad's favourite Donovan song - which is probably why I bought the single. Tonight, I'm hearing it for the first time in a long time. I seem to remember this single being so crackly that it virtually unlistenable, but it's holding up tonight.

I like 'Atlantis' more than I remember. I think I usually hear the first part and get bored before I remember how much I like the end of the song. 'I Love My Shirt' is, quite literally, about loving his shirt. It's a bit silly. While not without it's charm, it did get grating by the end. I was happy when it ended. I think I'll stick to 'Catch The Wind' next time.
