Planet Caravan
“We sail through endless skies
Stars shine like eyes
The black night sighs
The moon in silver trees
Falls down in tears
Light of the night
The earth, a purple blaze
Of sapphire haze
In orbit always
While down below the trees
Bathed in cool breeze
Silver starlight breaks down from night
And so we pass on by the crimson eye
Of great God mars
As we travel through the universe”
I always avoided Black Sabbath because I am really not a metal head tbh. Planet Caravan is an anomaly! I stumbled on it few years ago and surely confidently enters my top 100 chart of all time best underrated music in the life of humans, animals, trees and dust, water, and potentially aliens.
Planet Caravan is a journey. Through endless skies. Dreamy dubby bass-line backed by a flute, bongo, cosmic guitar and an otherworldly far-away vocal from Osbourne. Behind the lyrics, Butler said its about two people so consumed by each other that the entire cosmos becomes the backdrop of their intimacy. It's deeply romantic, almost escapist in nature.
This one is my favorite youtube comment: I love listening to this while walking on the beach with my girlfriend, until the LSD wears off and I realize I’m dragging a mannequin around a Burger King parking lot.
