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."

Magic Man
Caravan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just floating in the sky, I'm free
Envy me all you want, it don't mean a thing
But join me anytime, if you please
I'm lazy I know, but I do anything that I want to do
Fly to my arms and feel your fantasies coming through
I'm a magic man on a sea, in the sky
Join me and see... in the sky
I know that I am not too far away for you to come to
There ain't a storm that my ship can't carry you through
I know that you know in your mind that I'm right, it's good to be free
Soft Machines, Heart Club Bands and all are welcome here with me
I'm lazy I know, but I do anything that I want to do
Fly to my arms and feel your fantasies coming through
I'm a magic man on a sea, in the sky
A magic man on a sea, in the sky
Join me and see... in the sky
The lyrics to Caravan's song Magic Man appear to be about a person who is content doing very little; they are simply enjoying the feeling of floating through the sky. The person seems to be aware that others may envy their carefree lifestyle, but invites them to join in if they wish. The verse "I'm lazy I know, but I do anything that I want to do" suggests that the singer is not actually lazy, but rather that they are choosing to live their life in a way that brings them happiness and fulfillment.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "I'm a magic man on a sea, in the sky," suggesting that the person feels powerful and in control of their life. The line "Join me and see... in the sky" is an invitation to others to join them and experience the same freedom and joy that they are feeling.
Overall, the song has a dreamy, whimsical feel that encourages the listener to let go of their worries and embrace the present moment. It is a reminder that sometimes it is important to take a break from the busyness of life and just enjoy the simple things.
