It all started with a double bass player, a guitarist and a violinist; all highly talented musicians who are really into swing, Django addicts who enjoy tinkering with electro. Their project swayed a singer, a clarinettist, a trombonist who doubles up on percussion and a guitarist who also acts as DJ. With their “Zazou” look (inspired by Parisian paleo-punks from the 1940s), they serve up festive, frantic music, an improbable futuristic and melodious Charleston fit for the dance floor. Caravan Palace is to swing what the Gotan Project is to tango.

It so often starts out like that: a gang of mates who’ve kicked around together for the past ten years and who each get into music off their own bat. In this case, it was Hugues on the violin, Arnaud on guitar and Carlos on the double bass. A shared craze for manouche jazz (gypsy-style jazz), played in its natural setting, bars. Relatively serious composition, with a Zeitgeist twist: DIY electro, house, dub and hip-hop.

What triggered it all was an order placed by a film production company: a soundtrack for silent porn films dating from the beginning of the 20th century! They trotted out all their talents. Our three heroes played the end result to some friendly listeners, the feedback persuaded them to drop their individual projects and come up with a repertory of their own. Because there was no question for them of reworking Django or giving swing a face-lift! If they were going to forge their own path, it had to be something completely fresh.

This was back in 2005: it would take them an entire year. At which point they met Loïc Barrouk, manager of the Café de la Danse, who was really keen on the project. He got them into the studio (recording with session musicians), and then got them some gigs. For that, they needed some reliable fellow travellers, so they surfed MySpace. Two months later, the troops had been mustered: Chapi (clarinet), Toustou (who plays trombone and beat synthing), Aurélien (alternating as guitarist and DJ) and, last but not least, petulant vocalist Colotis Zoé, every bit as sweet’n’saucy as her signature song “Jolie coquine”! Among the three pioneers, Hugues, the crazy one, has revealed a talent for frenzied scat, Arnaud and Carlos double up their instruments thanks to programming. All together, they composed a new repertory. The Caravan took off.

Caravan Palace’s secret is a supersonic buzz on the Internet (free promo) and a year on the road with hard-hitting concerts, even before they released their record. A prime example was their performance at the 2007 Django Reinhardt Jazz Festival, in Samois, where they wowed an audience who had never heard of them. Veterans from the classic manouche jazz scene were left speechless. The excellent Caravan Palace musicians, who are of course “gadjos” (non-gypsies), have breathed fresh air into the timeless swing scene without coming across as preachers. As well as listeners with curious ears, the Caravan also has its own following, a horde of fans totally into the electro vibe, who turn up at each of their concerts. Caravan Palace’s reputation has rippled beyond the frontiers too, with Europe eager to check them out.

The album has at last been set for release in October 2008, on the Wagram label. With Caravan Palace, the future of swing looks set to swing.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Lay Down" by Caravan Palace are rather enigmatic and open to interpretation, as is often the case with the band's music. At its core, the song seems to be about surrendering oneself to something or someone completely, even if it's detrimental to their physical or emotional well-being. The repeated line "lay down" suggests giving in to this force, whatever it may be. The opening lines "I get sick, and I can't (?), (?) my soul is bound (?)" could indicate that the singer is physically ill and unable to resist this force, which has a hold on their soul. The lines "Back at the hip, I'm gonna sing (?), (?) nobody gonna have mercy" could suggest a feeling of being trapped or stuck in a certain place or situation. The line "I'm coughing nobody gonna turn me out" could indicate that others are not sympathetic to their suffering, or that they are refusing to be turned away from this person or situation they are surrendering to.

The chorus of "lay down" is repeated several times, emphasizing the main theme of the song. The doo-wop style of the vocal harmonies adds a catchy and upbeat element to the song, despite the potentially darker subject matter. Overall, the lyrics and music of "Lay Down" invite listeners to reflect on the complexities of surrendering oneself to something completely, and the potential consequences that come with it.

Fun fact : The lyrics of “Lay Down” are sampled entirely from the song “Bye and Bye Little Children” as recorded by the Golden Gate Quartet.
So here’s the lyrics guys :

[Verse 1]

I get sick and I can't get to heaven
Oh, my soul is bound, can't be
And I get sick and I can't get to heaven
Oh, my soul is bound for hell

[Verse 2]
When I get to heaven I'm gonna sing on my knees and begin
Be nobody for to have on my knees and begin
I get to heaven I'm gonna sing on my knees and
Can't be nobody for to turn me out

[Chorus]
I'm gonna (lay down)
Get sick and I can't (lay down)
My soul is bound for, (lay down)
Get sick and I can't, my soul is bound for hell
I'm gonna (lay down)
Get into heaven I'm gonna sing, (lay down)
Can't be nobody for to (lay down)
Fall on my knees and begin
Can't be nobody for to turn me out

[Verse 1]
I get sick and I can't get to heaven
Oh, my soul is bound, can't be
I get sick and I can't get to heaven
Oh, my soul is

[Verse 2]
When I get to heaven I'm gonna sing on my knees and begin
Be nobody for to have on my knees and begin
I get to heaven I'm gonna sing on my knees and
Can't be nobody for to turn me out

[Chorus]
I'm gonna (lay down)
Get sick and I can't (lay down)
My soul is bound for, (lay down)
Get sick and I can't, my soul is bound for hell
I'm gonna (lay down)
Get into heaven I'm gonna sing, (lay down)
Can't be nobody for to (lay down)
Fall on my knees and begin
Can't be nobody for to turn me out

[Outro]
Lay down
Lay down

Here's how I imagine this song going:
A card shark takes a quick swig of whiskey and a puff on a cigarette, grabs his coat and cash, then leaves for the bar. As he's walking down the street, he's getting watched by a bunch of lowlifes in alleyways and shit. He walks into a bar and starts getting drinks and having fun. He eventually gets down to business and heads to play poker. He lays down his cash gets his chips. He's wins but one person accuses him of cheating. The shark waits for a little bit before pulling out a gun he had in his jacket, shooting everyone is the bar. Once everyone's dead, he takes all the cash and walks away, with the suave bar music playing in the distance...
