"Catch the Wind" is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. The "Catch the Wind" single was released in the United Kingdom on March 12, 1965 through Pye Records (Pye 7N 15801) and a few months later in the United States through Hickory Records (Hickory 45-1309). The "Catch the Wind" single was backed with "Why Do You Treat Me Like You Do?" on both the United Kingdom and United States releases.
"Catch the Wind" marks the first release by Donovan. The single reached #4 in the United Kingdom and #23 in the United States. The single version featured Donovan's vocals with echo and a string section. The song was recorded again for Donovan's first album What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid without the vocal echo and strings.
When Epic Records was compiling Donovan's Greatest Hits, they were either unable or unwilling to secure the rights to the original recordings of "Catch the Wind" and "Colours". Donovan rerecorded both songs with a full backing band, and the rerecordings were included on the greatest hits album.
The song is very Dylanesque.
