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."

Place Of My Own
Caravan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is not the one I choose to see
Nor is the face
Of someone who gets much too close to me
[Chorus]
I've got this place of my own
Where I can go when I feel I'm coming down
You'll feel secure if you come
Love is the thing you crave
But it lies asleep inside of all your heads
Please, why don't you live a bit today?
For tomorrow you may find that you are dead
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Caravan's song "Place Of My Own" talk about the need for personal space and time alone to recharge oneself. The opening lines "Yesterday's face is not the one I choose to see" suggests that the singer doesn't want to dwell on the past and prefers to live in the present. The following lyrics "Nor is the face of someone who gets too close to me" highlights the idea that the singer wants to maintain a certain distance from others in order to preserve their own emotional well-being.
The chorus talks about a place of their own where they can retreat when they feel overwhelmed. This could be a physical place or could also be a metaphorical space within the self where one can retreat into solitude. The lyrics "We'll do our best to ensure you'll feel secure if you come" suggest that the singer is open to sharing their personal space with others, but only under certain conditions.
The final verse of the song talks about the importance of living in the present and not taking life for granted. The lyrics "Love is the thing you crave but it lies asleep inside of all your heads" suggests that people often overlook the love that is readily available to them. The song ends with a reminder that life is fleeting and one should make the most of every moment.

Yesterday's face
The face from the past that no longer represents who I am today.
Is not the one I choose to see
I prefer not to focus on my past but on my present self.
Nor is the face
I also don't want to see the face of someone who is too invasive.
Of someone who gets much too close to me
I don't want to be involved with people who don't respect my boundaries.
I've got this place of my own
I have somewhere to go when I need to escape from everything.
Where I can go when I feel I'm coming down
It's my safe haven when I feel low.
We'll do our best to ensure
If you come to my place, I'll do everything I can to make you feel secure.
You'll feel secure if you come
Coming to my place will give you a sense of safety and comfort.
Love is the thing you crave
Everyone wants to experience love.
But it lies asleep inside of all your heads
However, most people don't tap into the love that exists within them.
Please, why don't you live a bit today?
I urge you to live in the moment and enjoy life right now.
For tomorrow you may find that you are dead
Life is too short, and tomorrow is never guaranteed, so make the most of today.

@briandowling2918
Criminally under rated band. They should have been huge. They're still playing, still excellent and getting the critical acclaim they deserve.
@rainman52652
Their debut album is just GORGEOUS
@bshannon67
Such a sweet tune. Caravan was an excellent band who deserved wider recognition and in a more perfect world would be as popular as Madonna or Genesis...
@fuzzballzz36
agreed!
