1. Caravan is a British progressive rock band from Canterbury, United Kingdom, founded by former Wilde Flowers members David Sinclair, Richard Sinclair, Pye Hastings, and Richard Coughlan. Caravan rose to success over a period of several years from 1968 onwards into the 1970s as part of the Canterbury scene which also included Soft Machine. Caravan still continue a part-time gigging existence into the present.
The band were largely dormant in the 1980s, but a 1990 reunion, planned as a one-off for U.K. television's Bedrock show, restarted their career. Latterly they have also achieved steady sales and a fan following with the support of the more eclectic corners of radio, like BBC Six Music's Freak Zone and the growing re-emergence of progressive rock.

2. Caravan is a Thai "folk-rock" band from the 1970s. They are the progenitors of the เพลงเพื่อชีวิต (pleng puea chiwit) or "songs for life" genre. Their music is loosely adapted folk-rock rhythms and melodies from American & British protest songs of the time and interlaced them with Thai folk idioms and instrumentation.
The band was founded in the early 1970s by student protest leaders surachai chanthimathon & wirasak sunthonsi. Their tunes & lyrics were a vital force for bringing the messages of urban student activism out to the provinces. In the wake of the massacre at thammasat university, the band fled Bangkok, some heading into the mountains of the northeast to join the communist insurgency in armed struggle. Needless to say, their music was banned from radioplay for quite a while, broadcast only from pirate stations in the hills.
3. Caravan is a Japanese singer songwriter who started out in a band during his high school days, playing as the guitarist. In 2001, he left the band and decided to go solo. He handed out copies of his independent demo titled "Homework#1" during his live shows.
In 2004, he released his first indie album "RAW LIFE MUSIC" from the label AARON FIELDS, he followed this up with releasing another indie album in November titled "Trip in the music".
With the help of his Promotion Video of "Soul music" being played frequently on SPACE SHOWER TV, Caravan gained some popularity and in 2005, he was signed with rhythm zone (of avex label) and released his first single "DAY DREAM". In 2006, Caravan released his first major album "WANDER AROUND" and since then, he has managed to produce a album each year (2007: PANORAMA VISION, 2008: Yellow Morning, 2009: Luck and Pluck) and in 2010, he released two best of albums titled "The Planet songs: vol1 + 2."

Let It Shine
Caravan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to sell the truth but I couldn't make it stand
Ooh, come on, I cry, cause I'm feeling kinda low
Let it shine, let it shine, let it grow
And when you feel someone closing down on me
I'm going to myself just to see what I can see
And when the stars are right I'll come sailing right on by
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road ahead
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road ahead
Cause it's carrying me home again
So when all around you, I'm going down so fast
That you can see on you averted they have passed
Don't let them satisfy the need to tell you so
Let it shine, let it shine, let it show
And when the four winds blow and you're feeling kind of small
Everything's wrong and nothing's right at all
Ooh, you go into yourself and find a way ahead
It's very clear to me you're better off
Instead of feeling lonely, instead of feeling blue
You come on with a smile that comes sailing right on through
Wait till the stars above and the ground way down below
Let it shine, let it shine, let it show
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road ahead
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road ahead
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road...
The lyrics of Caravan’s “Let It Shine” suggest a message of perseverance and positivity in the face of difficult times. The singer appears to be a seller of truth, and despite his best efforts to spread honesty, it doesn’t seem to be catching on. He cries out for a release from his low feeling, and tells himself to let his own light shine and grow.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is experiencing a sense of isolation, as people seem to be closing down on him. He retreats within himself, and seeks to connect with the universe in order to find a way forward. The stars become symbolic for him, and when they are right he will be able to sail past the sun where nothing can go wrong. His message is to let your own light shine, and to allow it to carry you home again.
The song seems to be urging the listener to remain resilient in the face of adversity. Rather than being satisfied with someone else's assessment of one's struggles, one should look inward to find a way forward. The message of the song is to stay hopeful, maintain a positive outlook, and continue to persevere through difficult times.

Went down to the corner, sunshine in my hand
I went to the corner with sunshine in my hand
I tried to sell the truth but I couldn't make it stand
I attempted to spread the truth but it didn't take hold
Ooh, come on, I cry, cause I'm feeling kinda low
I'm feeling down and urge myself to persevere
Let it shine, let it shine, let it grow
I encourage my inner light to shine and grow
And when you feel someone closing down on me
When someone tries to oppress me
I'm going to myself just to see what I can see
I look inward to find my own answers
And when the stars are right I'll come sailing right on by
When the timing is right, I'll carry on with ease
Where the sun won't go wrong, long as I...
Where everything will be alright, as long as I continue
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road ahead
I want my light to shine on the future path
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road
I want my light to shine on the journey
Cause it's carrying me home again
Because it will lead me back home
So when all around you, I'm going down so fast
When everything around me feels like it's falling apart quickly
That you can see on you averted they have passed
And people around me turn a blind eye
Don't let them satisfy the need to tell you so
Don't let them influence your choices or beliefs
Let it shine, let it shine, let it show
Let your light shine and show the truth
And when the four winds blow and you're feeling kind of small
When life gets tough and I feel insignificant
Everything's wrong and nothing's right at all
When everything seems to be going wrong
Ooh, you go into yourself and find a way ahead
I look inward to find the strength to carry on
It's very clear to me you're better off
It's apparent that I'm better off this way
Instead of feeling lonely, instead of feeling blue
Instead of feeling sad and alone
You come on with a smile that comes sailing right on through
I face the world with a smile that carries me forward
Wait till the stars above and the ground way down below
Wait for the right time to move forward
Let it shine, let it shine, let it show
Let your inner light shine and show the truth
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road ahead
Let your light shine on the path ahead
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road
Let your light shine on the journey
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road ahead
Let your light shine on the future path
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on the road...
Let your light shine on the journey

Apollo Brown is a beast for flipping this ill sample for Skyzoo feat Joell Ortiz on Couple of Dollars....this is when you have a good ear for music and can pick up a beautiful snippet to make a great song

I love Caravan and have almost everything they've done. This album, though, lacked something. The musicianship, as always, is superb (a lot of far more successful bands don't even compare) but something is lacking in the overall sound. Dynamism? Never mind there's lots of other albums...most of which have some input from woodwind god, Jimmy Hastings.

Never knew what to expect treating my record decks to Caravan albums in the 80's but
when i got to this one i knew i'd found something special even by their high standards.

love this track, so haunting. I thought this was their best album but some didn't take to it.
