To celebrate the 75th birthday of the Scottish psychedelic folk singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Donovan, his long-time friend and fellow Transcendental Meditation practitioner, David Lynch, has directed and produced a video for "I am the Shaman". Mixed by David Lynch's collaborator, Dean Hurley, the song pivots around young Lore Lay, a beautiful maiden associated with Lorelei, the steep, mystical slate rock on the River Rhine. As Donovan sings and plays his favourite, bright-green-and-red Ferrington acoustic guitar, Kelly, black-and-white imagery of shooting stars and skulls send chills down the spine, combined with an impactful chorus seemingly taken straight from the Black Lodge of the surreal TV series, Twin Peaks (1990).
