Caravan / On the road again 【MUSIC VIDEO】

It’s a song by the Japanese singer-songwriter Caravan.

It’s performed in a relaxed, gentle tempo, like drifting softly between the waves.

The occasional sounds that resemble everyday life are unique, and the harmonica that gradually comes in makes the song feel wonderfully pleasant.

Place Of My OwnCaravan9rank/position

Place Of My Own (Stereo Version)

Like Soft Machine, Caravan—also born from The Wilde Flowers—is a band that represents Canterbury rock.

Their hallmark is a lyrically rich sound blending jazz and folk.

Their landmark debut song is a warm yet somehow wistful piece.

Pye Hastings’s innocent-sounding vocals and Dave Sinclair’s distinctive organ delicately depict the feelings of a protagonist in search of “a place of one’s own.” It brims with the unique charm of their early period, where pop sensibilities coexist with the seeds of later progressive developments.

Opening their debut album, Caravan, released in January 1969, and also known as a single, the track had already been performed on a BBC program in December 1968, prior to their debut.

It’s a classic you’ll want to hear when you wish to step away from the everyday and quietly drift into thought.

Nine Feet UndergroundCaravan11rank/position

Nine Feet Underground (Medley)

Caravan, like Soft Machine, originated from the Wilde Flowers and is known as a foundational presence in Canterbury rock.

Though their activity has been intermittent, they’ve continued over many years, and it’s still fresh in our memory that they came to Japan in 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their debut.

While Caravan’s sound is grounded in a crossover blend of jazz and rock, it’s distinct from bands that showcase breakneck technique and thrilling ensemble playing; instead, their hallmark is a richly lyrical sound that foregrounds beautiful melodies.

“Nine Feet Underground,” included on their celebrated third album In the Land of Grey and Pink released in 1971, is a suite-like masterpiece that epitomizes Caravan’s unique sonic world.

It’s a major work exceeding 22 minutes, comprising multiple sections, and on the original LP it occupies the entire B-side.

The gentle, unfolding development centered on Dave Sinclair’s organ and keyboards—together with Richard Sinclair’s soft vocals—conveys a different kind of appeal from bands that emphasize virtuosity and improvisation.

The album itself is often hailed as their magnum opus and is a highly recommended entry point for those new to Caravan.
