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."

Love To Love You
Caravan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we'd ride to a dock on bended knee
But you'd just smile and gently shake your head
And put a hole through me so I was dead
Oh, I'd fall down and I was left alone
With a feeling of you still that was my own
Oh, I would love to, love to love you
My, my, pigs might fly, that can't be bad
How you have the cheek to smile and tell me I'm mad
A man came through the wall and stood by me
Complete with bag of nuts and fancy free
He said without a tonal fleeting glance
"I'd like to get deep down inside your pants"
How you opened up his head and smiled
And rubbish from your mouth you ticked inside
Oh, I would love to, love to love you
Yes, indeed, I do love you, love you
My, my, pigs might fly, that can't be bad
How you have the cheek to smile and tell me I'm mad
The lyrics to Caravan's song "Love To Love You" seem to describe a person who is deeply in love with someone who does not feel the same way about them. The first verse sets the scene for a scenario where the singer is imagining a romantic moment with their love interest, only to be met with rejection. The imagery of riding to a dock on bended knee suggests a proposal or a grand gesture, but the love interest's reaction is a simple smile and a shake of the head. This rejection is so painful that it feels like a physical blow, as indicated by the line "And put a hole through me so I was dead." Despite this, the singer still holds onto the feeling of love for their love interest, even though they are left alone with it.
The second verse takes a surreal turn, as a man comes through the wall and propositions the singer with a crude sexual comment. The love interest's reaction to this is to open up the man's head, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for shutting down unwanted advances or shutting out unwanted thoughts. The singer continues to express their love for the love interest, even though they are met with rejection and disbelief from others.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be about unrequited love and the pain that comes with it, but also the persistence of that love even in the face of rejection. The surreal imagery and nonsensical phrases add to the dreamlike quality of the song and perhaps suggest the irrationality of love itself.
Line by Line Meaning
I dreamed of all the magic things that be
I had imagined all the wonderful things that could happen when we would ride to the dock on my bent knees
But you'd just smile and gently shake your head
You did not reciprocate my feelings and only smiled and shook your head in a gentle manner
And put a hole through me so I was dead
Your rejection hurt me deeply and made me feel dead inside
Oh, I'd fall down and I was left alone
I would be left feeling lonely and dejected after hearing that you did not feel the same way
With a feeling of you still that was my own
Despite your rejection, I still had feelings for you that were my own and could not be denied
Oh, I would love to, love to love you
I still long to love you and be with you in a romantic way
Yes, indeed, I do love you, love you
I truly do love you despite your lack of reciprocation
My, my, pigs might fly, that can't be bad
The unlikely possibility of my love being reciprocated cannot be a bad thing
How you have the cheek to smile and tell me I'm mad
You have the audacity to smile and call me crazy for still holding onto my love for you
A man came through the wall and stood by me
I had a surreal experience where a man appeared out of nowhere and stood beside me
Complete with bag of nuts and fancy free
The man seemed carefree and had a bag of nuts with him
He said without a tonal fleeting glance
Without any hesitation or change in his tone, he said
"I'd like to get deep down inside your pants"
"I want to have sex with you"
How you opened up his head and smiled
You took advantage of the man's promiscuous comment and flirted with him, making him happy
And rubbish from your mouth you ticked inside
You talked nonsense and made empty promises to the man
