Disc Two, track 8.

Donovan's original sounds eerily like a sequel to his own hit, "Catch The Wind". (which in itself sounds like a parody of early Bob Dylan)

Again, Lindsey pours a freight-load of angst on the lyric...but, mainly I think he was just experimenting with guitar sounds and found a lyric that fit. I think he took the ideas he discovered by doing this song and evolved them into "Red Rover".

Still, if my life was at stake and was forced to name one song on UTS to be my fave (which is painfully difficult to do, for me, suprisingly enough), this would have to be it. Yeah, I know, it's a cover, but hey, it's one of the times that Lindsey makes a song his own and it works, works f-ing well.
