New theme song: Wear Your Love Like Heaven

Dec 26, 2007 11:17

One of my Christmas gifts this year was a CD of Donovan’s Greatest Hits, which I have been listening to this morning. Earlier this year I wrote about wanting a new theme song. I just realized that "Wear Your Love Like Heaven" is my new theme song. I knew I liked the song, and it’s pretty much why I asked for the cd. I have Sarah McLaughlin’s version, but I wanted Donovan’s original as well. But until I heard it this morning I didn’t realize that it is my new theme song (I don’t think you can pick your theme song; it picks you).

"Can I believe what I see
All I have wished for will be
All our race proud and free
Wear your love like heaven

Lord, kiss me once more
Fill me with song
Allah, kiss me once more
That I may, that I may
Wear my love like heaven
Wear my love like heaven"

One of the best things about this CD is the notes Donovan writes about each song, all in his hippy-trippy style. About "Wear Your Love Like Heaven" he writes, "What else can we do? And how can we convince the sleepers that we are stardust? We all must contemplate the passing of our thought-waves, to view the true reality. We are what we dream. Beware of dreaming nightmares. Be heavenly and turn off your mind for a pause."

I love that.

P.S. I found it on YouTube!
