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 ΰΉΰΈΰΈ₯ΰΈΰΉΰΈΰΈ·ΰΉΰΈΰΈΰΈ΅ΰΈ§ΰΈ΄ΰΈ (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.

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."

Lover
Caravan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's lonely and I need you near me
I don't believe it's over
Lover, you know I feel as if I talk too much
Shut me up, hold me close
Lover, when you come to me
I feel as if you never left
Lover, you know I don't know what it is with you
Shut me up, hold me close
Lover, why aren't you here?
It's lonely and I need you near me
It never will be over
The lyrics to "Lover" by Caravan express the deep longing and desire for a former lover. Through the repetition of the phrase "Lover, why don't you phone?" the singer conveys the loneliness and desperation they feel without the person they love. The line "I don't believe it's over" suggests that there may have been a breakup or separation, but the singer still holds onto hope that they can be reunited with their lover. The chorus of the song, featuring the lines "Lover, you know I feel as if I talk too much, shut me up, hold me close," reveals the singer's desire to be silenced and comforted by their lover's physical presence.
The second verse continues the theme of the singer's dependence on their former lover. The lines "Lover, when you come to me, I feel as if you never left, I need you to remind me" express the notion that the singer is lost without their lover, and their return to their life would help bring them back to reality. The chorus is repeated, further emphasizing the singer's longing for the comfort and support offered by their lover.
