"Season of the Witch" is a song by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan released in August 1966 on his third studio album, Sunshine Superman. The song is credited to Donovan, although sometime collaborator Shawn Phillips has also claimed authorship.[5] Because of a dispute with Donovan's record company, a UK edition with the song was not released until June 1967.

"Season of the Witch" was recorded at the CBS studios in Hollywood, California, where most of Sunshine Superman was recorded.[6] According to Donovan, he and Phillips wanted a "rock-combo sound" for the song and chose some local musicians from the local clubs.[6] They included Lenny Matlin on keyboards, Don Brown on lead electric guitar, Bobby Ray on bass and "Fast" Eddie Hoh on drums.[6] Donovan played the second guitar part, as he explained in his autobiography:

In a retrospective song review for AllMusic, Lindsay Planer commented: "Few songs so perfectly reflect the dawn of the psychedelic pop era as aptly as Donovan's 'Season of the Witch' ... Both lyrically as well as musically, the languid and trippy contents project a dark foreboding atmosphere [and] a sort of sinister tale of paranoia and the paranormal".[7] John Bush called the song "easily [one of the two] the highlights of the album ... a chugging eve-of-destruction tale".[8]

The bass is HUGE, especially for 1966. Huge bass was just starting to become a thing, started by The Beatles in 1964 with songs like Ticket to Ride and I Feel Fine, and of course, then Rain and Paperback Writer. Donovan was friends with the Beatles and probably heard test pressings of Rain before he went to California to record what is one of the first truly psychedelic albums, Sunshine Superman.

At about 3:15, as the song rolls into the chorus yet again, someone dubbed in a really loose, totally sloppy loud guitar part. It lasts for maybe four measures and then vanishes and never comes back! Did they use an entire track on it??

"Season of the Witch"

"Looking for America""Season of the Witch" is a song by Scottish singer Donovan from his 1966 album Sunshine Superman, covered by Lana Del Rey for the soundtrack of the 2019 horror film Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Del Rey's cover was produced by Jack Antonoff. The song was officially released on August 9, 2019, simultaneously with "Looking for America".

In this week's ultimate playlist, we're turning our attention to witches. And there is certainly no shortage of options! I feel as though I've barely scratched the surface with this playlist of 60+ songs.

Season of the Witch features Stephen Stills on electric guitar, and it sounds like he found a wah wah pedal laying around and started experimenting with it. I like the rawness of his guitar sound, as it adds authenticity to the fact that this was truly a jam session, not a polished rock record. Al Kooper plays a tasty organ solo and sings the vocals. The horns are a great addition to the song and I was surprised to find out that they were added later at a New York studio, as they sound so integral to the arrangement. The album was reissued in 1999 with an additional remix of the song without the horns. I like the one with the horns much better. First impressions count.

The Salem witch trials, the most famous in the New World, began May 27, 1692 in Salem Village, Massachusetts. A doctor said witchcraft was why three young girls were having fits, spasms and outbursts of screaming. The girls claimed that three women had put a spell on them.

One woman confessed, saying the Devil had recruited her. She named others in the community as witches. She was found guilty and hanged. But that was only the start. Five more people were found guilty and hanged in July. Thirteen more were hanged in the following months. Seven people died in jail awaiting trial. Another person was stoned to death.

The trials slowed as the outbursts did. The governor ended the trails after hearing that his wife had been accused of witchcraft. In 1711, Massachusetts courts gave restitution to the heirs of people who were killed and jailed.

This is a great song. I do not believe any of these comments are correct. Perhaps those who were at least young teenagers in the mid 1960's would recognize the song as a comment on the social changes coming into the forefront at that time. The changes were a huge wave. Certain artists like Donovan were riding this wave and the press were clamoring all over them constantly asking silly questions about the "meaning" of their art.

The song is about observing changes. It has nothing to do with witchcraft, drugs or paranoia. I think the words in this song are more about rhyming and rhythm than anything specific. They are suggesting images that rhyme with witch - magical changes. Pick up every stitch is to carry in the general notion of paying attention. Rabbits in the ditch is the sense of common activity. Beatniks out to get rich is about the very common notion at that time regarding "selling out" to commercial interests. The other cat may refer to the notoriety Donovan had at that time from the press and other artists and possibly also refer to the wonderment others were having as they observed the changes. The mid 60's was also a time period when many of the "younger generation" as it was called then were looking to out cool each other in conspicuous ways to an extreme that had not been done in previous generations. We take this practice for granted now, but in the 50's one demonstrated individualism with subtle items as opposed to adopting a purple punk hair style. There was much social revolution awareness going on. That is what this song is about.

"You've got to pick up every stitch" implies as in witchcraft not to leave anything "personal" behind i.e. clothing, hair, fingernails, blood. This is because it is "The season of the witch" and witches cast spells. I suggest a little background research on Donovan.

When I look out my window,Many sights to see.And when I look in my window,So many different people to beThat it's strange, so strange.You've got to pick up every stitch,You've got to pick up every stitch,You've got to pick up every stitch,Mm, must be the season of the witch,Must be the season of the witch, yeah,Must be the season of the witch.

When I look over my shoulder,What do you think I see ?Some other cat looking overHis shoulder at meAnd he's strange, sure he's strange.You've got to pick up every stitch,You've got to pick up every stitch,Beatniks are out to make it rich,Oh no, must be the season of the witch,Must be the season of the witch, yeah,Must be the season of the witch.

You've got to pick up every stitch,The rabbits running in the ditch,Beatniks are out to make it rich,Oh no, must be the season of the witch,Must be the season of the witch,Must be the season of the witch.When I look.

When I look out my window,What do you think I see ?And when I look in my window,So many different people to beIt's strange, sure it's strange.You've got to pick up every stitch,You've got to pick up every stitch,The rabbits running in the ditch,Oh no, must be the season of the witch,Must be the season of the witch, yeah,Must be the season of the witch.When I look, when I look

I actually have a greatest hits album where Donovan himself wrote a sentence or two on each song. He writes "Spooky, but true. I was the first pot-bust in London, followed by The Stones and The Beatles. I wrote this song before the bust. Prophecy again. How dare I be so cool? It's a magic track. And the sorceress, she is dancing her kali dance into the numina!" So I imagine it to be about weed.

@BlakeF Donovan is a witch hater and hates strong women. He is a male chauvinist pig singing this song. If anyone can prove to me that he is singing about female empowerment in a positive way, then I will change my mind. Otherwise, I will continue to assume that he is like the Taliban.

All forms of needlework probably had corresponding spells in witchcraft. So if you were knitting and you dropped a stich, you would have to go back and pick up all your stitches. If you would say a little spell. (If you were a witch, that is.)

My grandmother was a very religious woman. She had a saying for almost every situation. One of the things she used to say was that you would have to "pick up every stitch you dropped", after you died and before you got to go to heaven. I asked her what that actually meant(along with things like "Adam's off Ox" and a host of other odd southern sayings). Basically she said it meant we hat to fix all the wrongs we had committed, including act of omission, before we could get to heaven. I had always thought the song was an admonition. In effect it was saying that in strange times, bad times, evil times, you should never forget that we have a responsibility to fix or errors, make amends to those we offend, find recompense for those we have burdened. I also believe there is a parallel message that we should not worry too much about how others look at us, how they act themselves or what is happening in the common culture. we need to pick up our own stitches. If you look at the era this was written in, Vietnam, Civil rights, Kent State it was an unsettled time. Finally, I do not think this is or represents the ramblings of a psychotic mind. It has a consistent theme and a what I believe is a cogent message.

Very acid-like. I'm sure people have tripped out to it. I hear this song, and it's like I hear this voice that reminds me of early Led Zeppelin. Donovan's vocal are almost like Robert Plant's in a way. 589ccfa754
