The Austin band's version stays mostly faithful to the original. They keep the psychedelic vibe of the classic, but they just jack up the creepy factor with indie rock noise and feedback.

Donovan's version is a Halloween standard based more on the title than the sound of the song. Farmer's Wife take that template and make the song a truly moody Halloween classic.

These once seemingly threatening entities were really my guardians all along, keepers of my peace and steadfast, rock-solid admirers of my most uninhibited self."
