Boy For Every Girl
Donovan · Live & In The Studio [2009]
For every dream there is a real world.
For every lip there is a kiss,
For every cheek there is a caress.
Take off those clothes,
They're strangling you,
Let out your human song.
Take off those clothes,
They're suffocating me,
My body wants to sing along.
My body wants to sing!
For every up there is a down,
For every smile there is a sad frown.
For every lip there is a kiss,
For every cheek there is a caress.
Shake off those thoughts,
They're strangling you,
Let out your human song.
Shake off those thoughts,
They're suffocating me,
My body wants to sing along.
To lie at rest upon your bosom,
Tongue still taste thy maiden musk.
To lie within your woman's warm
Upon your rising falling form.
Rising falling form
Rising falling form
Rising falling form
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every lip there is a kiss,
For every cheek there is a caress.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every lip there is a kiss,
For every cheek there is a caress.
Rising falling form
Rising falling form
Rising falling form
Rising falling form
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every lip there is a kiss,
For every cheek there is a caress.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream there is a real world.
For every boy there is a girl,
For every dream.
Boy For Every Girl
Donovan's "Boy For Every Girl" stands as a quintessential example of the psychedelic folk-rock sound that defined the late 1960s. Recorded live in the studio, the track captures the band's signature blend of acoustic instrumentation and ethereal harmonies, showcasing Donovan's mastery of the sitar alongside traditional guitar work. The song reflects the era's fascination with Eastern mysticism and romantic idealism, themes central to Donovan's broader discography including works like "Sunshine Superman" and "Mellow Yellow." Its enduring appeal lies in its atmospheric production and the seamless integration of vocal melodies that evoke a sense of wandering and introspection. As a staple of Donovan's live performances, the recording serves as a testament to the artist's ability to craft immersive sonic landscapes that transcended the boundaries of contemporary pop music.
