As The Elders Of Our Time Choose To Remain Blind

My absolute favorite song by Donovan Leitch is Atlantis. The song starts very quiet with only a guitar and a piano in the background. It ends with a style closer to rock music with slight elements of psychedelia (at least that’s how I would describe it – I am not a music expert). The beginning of the song is nevertheless the strongest, most fascinating part of the song where Donovan, with his distinct Scottish accent, tells his version of the island of Atlantis. He literally tells the story, meaning he doesn’t sing at first.
