This song was written by the bassist Gezzer Butler and it’s about floating in space with the one that you love. Also Pantera did a great cover of this song.
I've never heard this song and it was a surprise not what expected all from Black Sabbath. See you guys are getting so educated now you're teaching us stuff. This sounded more like jazz than Rock. Jay, those " hand drums" are bongos. And Amber look like she was tripping big time. She would have fit right in with the 60s 😉!
Another track in which Sabbath go off piste, is Changes and is a lovely track , I think Rick Wakeman may have done keyboards on - as he was great friends with the band
Us? LOL Sure, they might be teaching us stuff about Black Sabbath because us don't tend to listen to Metal. Us are notoriously self-painted into their own little musical corner (of artists who "look like" them). But that'll be the day they teach ME anything about the mighty Sabbath.
@@Steve-cm2ys I'll put the diversity of my record collection, ( and yes I mean actual vinyl records) up against yours anytime. Because it includes blues, jazz, rock, metal, New Wave, Punk, soul, classical, and reggae. You've exposed your limited musical taste with this comment.
This was recorded in 1970 on Black Sabbath's 2nd album 'Paranoid'... Tony Iommi wrote the music inspired by 60's psychedelic music and Ozzy sang it w/ some effects in the studio. It wasn't the usual Sabbath riff-heavy song and added some diversity to their music... Pantera covered 'Planet Caravan' in 1994 for the same reason... they wanted a departure from their usual shredding extreme metal 🤘🤘 Black Sabbath did have some departures from their usual brand of heavy rock... 'Warning' was a blues track... They had ballads like "She's gone" ...and "It's alright" (w/ drummer Bill Ward on lead vocals) ... and the keyboard-heavy "Who are you?" Ozzy had said that Sabbath had played w/ diverse artists like The Eagles back in the 70's, but that was not possible anymore... He wanted to make great music, but they seemed destined to be the "Godfathers of Heavy Metal music"...Sabbath tried to do different things musically in 1976 and 1978, but Ozzy hated that direction... the fans felt the same way and those records bombed commercially. It was the same way w/ Led Zeppelin - they didn't want to be known just for heavy rock; they experimented w/ folk and acoustic guitars and psychedelic influences as well. They wanted to be more diverse, and their audience was more open to their experimentation.
@Simon Jamal, your quote "Tony Iommi wrote the music inspired by 60's psychedelic music" Utter Rubbish. Tony's solo was pure jazz, inspired by Django Reinhardt. Here a Black Sabbath vid "BLACK SABBATH - The Story Behind "Planet Caravan" ua-cam.com/video/zoQga3hMkyc/v-deo.html
@@protarget1 "Utter rubbish"? Did u even watch the clip? Django Reinhardt inspired Tony Iommi to play guitar again after he lost his fingertips... Not the actual song 'Planet Caravan'! It's no secret that the members of Black Sabbath would get stoned smoking dope and listening to 60's psychedelic records by The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Cream... That's where their psychedelic influences came from! Sheesh! What a maroon...🙄
Side 1 of the Paranoid album consists of 4 songs: War Pigs, Paranoid, Planet Caravan and Iron Man. You've now done 3 of the 4...all except War Pigs, which,IMO, is not only the best of the 4, but is also one of the best songs that Black Sabbath ever recorded.
I thought these guys had done War Pigs, not sure as been watching them since the start and forgotten a lot. Agreed though, don't do that awful fan made video just the music or a lyric video. After that, the live video of them performing and early version of it in 1970!
This song plus "Changes' proved they were so much more! and yes Sabbath, with LZ and Deep Purple gave the world the base for Rock and Metel from the late 60's til the present day.
The change up on side one of Paranoid, back in the day it was the pause between heavy rockers with its low key vibe that clams before the next strike. Sabbath always had a way with the softer songs, often a prelude like Sleeping Village is to Warning. Try those, you will never forget hearing them together. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎶
Great reaction as usual guys. If you want a taste of where heavy music came from, you really need to go back to the beginning. The song Black Sabbath. I know you guys usually like to listen to studio versions of songs, but please watch the official video. It is a very young Black Sabbath playing the song live in a dark room in 1970. It really is amazing!
Behind the wall of sleep, hand of doom, ironman, NIB. All amazing tracks. Black Sabbath are so so good. Oh yeah, self-entitled 'black sabbath' off there 1st album. As sinister and dark as its gets - pure bliss!!!
Every Sabbath album has 1 song that sticks out like a sore thumb. IE -this, Laguna Sunrise or Changes. The whole album is this heavy demonic doom music, then all of a sudden, there's this light-hearted / light at the end of the tunnel happy song lol
Been listening to this song for the last 40+ years, but the lady here nailed the "voice is somewhere behind the music" thing, never felt this before. Brava !
I remember being 14, taping up my cousins door, putting a wet towel on the bottom of the door, and hanging out the window smoking a joint listening to this over and over back in the early 90’s…. Lol
No way, I did something similar to this last year on my 19th birthday. Had a buddy of mine over and we passed around a joint and relaxed to this on repeat! Man, that was great.
Black Sabbath recorded a song similar in vibe to Planet Caravan on their last LP. The song is called "Zeitgeist." Also, Pantera did a cover of this song. So cool, respecting the original, so smooth and Dime's solo, great as always.
They did one to two songs per album to break up the hard stuff. Orchid, Changes, second half of Symptom of the Universe, Laguna Sunrise are all examples.
If you want a great combination of raw and rocking Black Sabbath with some mellow, spacey Black Sabbath, try "Symptom of the Universe." It's quite the trip.
@@LiberalsArePoop Yeah, you really can't go wrong with anything on that album. I like the energy on "Symptom of the Universe" on the first half and vibe of that acoustic second half. Sometimes the tempo on "The Writ" feels a bit plodding. But I respect where you're coming from.
Last year on my 21st birthday my buddies n I lit up around a firepit and I remember hearing this song vividly as we stared into the fire, beautiful memory.
I've always loved the jazz guitar solo/outro by Toni. He was known for his iconic, heavy, rock riffs, but It showes what a great and diverse player he really is.
Just read in Wiki: "On 31 May 2020, "Planet Caravan" was used as wake-up music for the crew of a SpaceX Crew Dragon before the craft's launch later that day. It was the first time music was used to wake astronauts since the last shuttle mission in July 2011. The craft was bound for the International Space Station." Imagine to wake up in space, zero gravitation and the first thing you hear is this song!
This is pure stoner music. Music that you light up and smoke a doob to after work or school and just chill to. The 70s were filled with music like this. Pink Floyd and Parliament-Funkadelic were the masters of it. This is why there were so many albums that had to be heard in their entirety; you’d put an album on the turntable, put the needle on, sit back, relax, and blaze up a spliff or grab your bong and light up, maybe even drop a tab of acid (LSD) or a couple Quaaludes (if your dealer had access to those) and just....LISTEN. And explore the universe of your mind and spirit. You should also listen to another famous Black Sabbath tune that extols the virtues of cannabis sativa: the iconic “Sweet Leaf,” which begins with a legendary recording of Ozzy coughing the standard stoner cough.
Tony Iomi is one of the greatest blues/rock musicians ever, and positively invented heavy metal guitar. Let this song be your gateway. If the blues was unexpected to you, I IMPLORE YOU to check out the depths of their first album. Start with a track called A Bit of Finger/Sleeping Village/Warning It will change your whole idea of who Sabbath and Ozzy are. Do it. You will know what I’m talking about very quickly.
Make sure you do the full version with “Wicked World” at the end. Do it!! Other family who know what he’s talking about, back us up here! Get their attention, they don’t want to miss this!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of my favourite Sabbath songs. Released on the Paranoid album in 1970. The first time i heard it i was blown away by how different it was from the rest of the album. Sabbath actually recorded many unusual and diverse sounding songs between 1970 and 1978. I would recommend listening to the songs: Solitude, She's gone, It's Alright, Air Dance and A Hard Road to hear Sabbath doing other styles of music besides rock and heavy metal.
FiREBALL -by DEEP PURPLE 🔥 1971 with it's high speed Metal sound Double Kick Drums and fast moving Organ keyboards and those electric 🎸 Guitar riffs that just are at another level these are the songs that inspired the speedier metal in the later years of the 80s
She'll tell you the movement's if they are true or not, that's pure love right there. That's what anyone playing wishes they could do to a group of people.
This is the kind of song you could go on a trip across the universe and never leave your chair. Without drugs! Imagine, if you will, what it was like when this song first came out, and the people WERE on acid! TRIPPIN’!!!
Tonni Iommi was a trained jazz guitarist before Black Sabbath. His solo in this song truly shows just how good he really is. A true Guitar God. One of my favorite guitar solo's ever.
You can definitely hear the jazz influence in Sabbath's music - especially on this album (Paranoid)! Not only were they the "Pioneers of Metal", they also inadvertently created the subgenres: groove metal, doom metal, stoner metal, etc.!
There's a cover of this song by a group called Rondellus. By way of background, Rondellus' main gig is playing medieval music in Latin on handmade replica instruments based on roughly 12th century period instruments (note that virtually no modern instrument would have existed at the time, except for maybe drums). They did an album of Black Sabbath songs called Sabbatum in which they translated many of your favorite Black Sabbath hits into Latin and played them on medieval instruments. I think this is the best one of the collection since it has a sort of medieval cadence and a touch of mysticism.
Black Sabbath originated in Birmingham, England, UK as did Heavy Metal. Your next song should be Symptom of the Universe by Sabbath, you'll see hard and soft in the same song, it's spectacular!
Originally, black sabbath were a blues band, called Earth, and , although i am glad they took it another direction, i would like to think they would still have made this tune. It's so jazzy and mellow and trippy.
Pantera did a cover of this song, and honestly, it's not to be missed, very musically similar, with better recording, and cleaner vocals. If you search 'Planet Caravan' it's the one that will most likely pop up. Homage to the OG, but I think they did it even better.
The vocal effect on Ozzy's voice is a Leslie (rotating) speaker. The Leslie speaker is usually used with an Organ, but guitar players, singers and others have used the effect. Guitarist Tony Iommi played the flute, some of the 'sound effects' and some of the piano. Drummer Bill Ward played the Congas and Bassist Geezer Butler wrote the Lyrics. Tom Allom, a session player, is also credited as playing a piano. My favourite part of the song is Tony's guitar playing on the Outro. The solo reminded me of a George Benson Jazz solo. Geezer has said that the song is about "floating through the universe with one's lover". A video on "The Story behind Planet Caravan" is here -> ua-cam.com/video/zoQga3hMkyc/v-deo.html Geezer shared that Tony liked the music of the Jazz Greats - Django Reinhardt and Joe Pass. Notably, Django, though he had lost two of his fingers on his fretting hand due to a fire, he persevered and continued to play guitar. Django inspired Tony to carry on after the accident the took the ends of a couple of his fingers. Thanks to the RSR family for recommending the this song and RSR for taking it up. 🎸😎
Usually, I'm not that childish about anything- but I had figured that this would be an extremely METAL 'Black Sabbath' song. Your Channel is great, but I'm probably not going to finish this video. Your Channel has been around for at least a year, so there's gotta be some ROCK or METAL songs you've done reactions to that hopefully 'Sabbath has done. OZZY IS EPIC! LOL.
If Amber loves Ozzy Osbourne you should try Goodbye to Romance or Mama I'm Coming Home, The Road to Nowhere, or Revelation Mother Earth. There is some great mellow Ozzy out there. Tonight, Diary of a Madman, Shot in the Dark, S.A.T.O., and S.I.N., are some more upbeat but still fantastic Ozzman vocals.
As someone has noted when we listened to the album, this was a cool break from the Classic riffs and heavy drums we know them for. Amber has left the building. Thanks for this smile.
Planet Caravan is one of my favorite Black Sabbath Songs. Cuz the song is a head trip in itself, which is what i love about it, It's one of the songs I can play on guitar myself as well. check Out The warning Next, That is one of their heavier metal sounding songs. With 2 to 3 solos in the song.
If you like robin trowers bridge of sighs You should check out the song islands. He's great at creating a mood. These guys are definitely pioneers of heavy metal in this song. It's a little out of character for them.
Pantera does a cover of this. Definitely should give that a listen too. They do it justice! Would be a nice comparison video. Just a thought. You guys are awesome!
There's also a band - The Main Squeeze - black lead singer, diverse members, who do a great cover of War Pigs. I'm positive they also did Fairies Wear Boots but I can't find it. War Pigs is still up. It has a keyboard solo! Check them out.
Sabbath is way more than the godfathers of heavy metal (sure they are !!🤘) never afraid to get you by surprise with smooth instrumentals/great ballads & jazz inspiration ... (check "wicked world" live, 19 mns long !) creative band to the core
Most all metalheads consider Sabbath the forefathers of metal. Its due to Tonni Iommi guitar tuning being lowered to accomidate his finger injury giving him that dark sound. And of course the lryics mostly written by Gezzer Butler ability for the darkside type topics.
Just something to remember, nearly all rock 'n' roll from the 50s 60s and 70s (up until disco) was blues-based - however distantly. It may not have had the same overall feel; Poppy, upbeat, heavy - but by and large it shared the 4/4 time signature. So even the bands that expanded into new genres like Black Sabbath, they can trace the style back to blues.
Your hair looks great Amber!!! Btw, I believe this is my first time for this song as well... I'm a minute in and blown away as are you two.. Hope we Love it!!! Thanks for making us 😁 today!!!! 😃😄😅😆😉
Yah.... this was EPIC maybe a new favorite song. I wonder can it replace my current face song that reactor ScribeCash did probably about 4 years ago; she turned me on to Chigago Transit Authority Poem 58. You guys turned me on to Black Sabbath Planet Caravan just now... Thank you two soooooo much 😁😁😁😁
I was just about to mention that. Great cover!! There is a couple Black Sabbath cover albums. Nativity in Black I & II. The bands in them will blow your mind. Check it out if you haven't.
Imagine hearing this when it came out. You'd be on so much Acid. The Cocaine might help balance it out, but this song would still cut through. F*ckin banger.
This song was written by the bassist Gezzer Butler and it’s about floating in space with the one that you love.
Also Pantera did a great cover of this song.
Who is Gezzer?
They CLEARLY just said he's the bassist for Sabbath. Wtf
@@MrScottsearles 🤣🤣
Bill Word is the most underrated drummer ever
Ward
Amber immediately understood the assignment and closed her eyes and floated through eternity 💀🤣
I absolutely love that you did this song. Please listen to more Black Sabbath.
Puff Puff Pass
Yes
Strawberry papers
Great stoner song!! Just took some hits for the bong!! I'm a poet and didn't know it!
Yep. Can't see for the smoke..
The other time that I felt like this was when I caught that stomach virus.
Shotgun anybody
So much talent in Black Sabbath. Not only can they rock but their slower stuff just shows how talented they really are.
"Solitude" is another wonderful mellow Sabbath tune.
Yes. Wonderful song
I've never heard this song and it was a surprise not what expected all from Black Sabbath. See you guys are getting so educated now you're teaching us stuff. This sounded more like jazz than Rock. Jay, those " hand drums" are bongos. And Amber look like she was tripping big time. She would have fit right in with the 60s 😉!
It shows their versatility. This song fits perfectly in as a contrast between two heavier tracks on their album "Paranoid".
Another track in which Sabbath go off piste, is Changes and is a lovely track , I think Rick Wakeman may have done keyboards on - as he was great friends with the band
@@catman2629 Great tune

Paranoid- one of the best albums of all time

Sabbath version better
Such a chill song. Awesome to play on guitar
You can hear their jazz influences in the guitar and drums. Their album Technical Ecstasy has many "jazz" moments.
Every Sabbath album has 1 song that sticks out like a sore thumb. IE -this, Laguna Sunrise or Changes. The whole album is this heavy demonic doom music, then all of a sudden, there's this light-hearted / light at the end of the tunnel happy song lol

Thanks for giving us more Sabbath. Please react to “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” one or the best riffs IMO.

Also, Pantera did a cover of this song. So cool, respecting the original, so smooth and Dime's solo, great as always.
Yeah, Pantera did a Great job!
If someone plays it on the jukebox almost always takes me a second.
And I grew up listening to Sabbath
Solitude is another one similar in vibe to this
Sabbath is the best! All their songs take you on a journey!
Hands down Black Sabbath is one of the best bands theres ever been. EVER
1: Led Zeppelin
2: Black Sabbath
So excited to see this reaction can't wait to see what you think I love Black Sabbath so I hope you love it boomer sooner and stay happy y'all 😊

Yes 1982, tell us more about how you invented speed metal - signed Fireball, c/o Ian Paice.
Basically a love song about a couple traveling the universe. He was singing this thru a voice synthesizer.
She'll tell you the movement's if they are true or not, that's pure love right there. That's what anyone playing wishes they could do to a group of people.
This is one of my favorite Sabbath songs. It is quite a departure from their usual stuff, but still amazingly great.

Ahh, such a classic! Glad you guys got to enjoy it!
It was known as an acid trip song. Trippers could go on a ride through the galaxy listening to this tune.
Oh, yes. (My band) deep song. They ARE the fathers of metal. Period.
It's definitely a vibe. Always loved this song.
This is called "Space Rock". I wouldn't be surprised if this song is responsible for creating that whole sub-genre!
Black Sabbath originated in Birmingham, England, UK as did Heavy Metal.
Your next song should be Symptom of the Universe by Sabbath, you'll see hard and soft in the same song, it's spectacular!
This is a fanstastic song/experience. Feel like I'm in a different dimension or something, and yes Black Sabbath was the first heavy metal band.

Geezer shared that Tony liked the music of the Jazz Greats - Django Reinhardt and Joe Pass. Notably, Django, though he had lost two of his fingers on his fretting hand due to a fire, he persevered and continued to play guitar. Django inspired Tony to carry on after the accident the took the ends of a couple of his fingers. Thanks to the RSR family for recommending the this song and RSR for taking it up.
🎸😎
love any time someone discovers this song, it's super slept on. one of my fav songs of all time👌
I haven't heard this song before from Black Sabbath...wow......so so Haunting....Love it...the Congos and Bongos and guitar in this are so awesome!!!!
Check out their song Solitude. It's another great mellow vibe
This song reminds me of the time I was given the wrong medication for my oral surgery and I sat around drooling and hallucinating for a weekend.
Usually, I'm not that childish about anything- but I had figured that this would be an extremely METAL 'Black Sabbath' song. Your Channel is great, but I'm probably not going to finish this video. Your Channel has been around for at least a year, so there's gotta be some ROCK or METAL songs you've done reactions to that hopefully 'Sabbath has done.
OZZY IS EPIC! LOL.
The most “trippy” song I know…just love it
they got into the Pink Floyd territory genre. sending you on a space journey traveling with your Bird.
If Amber loves Ozzy Osbourne you should try Goodbye to Romance or Mama I'm Coming Home, The Road to Nowhere, or Revelation Mother Earth. There is some great mellow Ozzy out there. Tonight, Diary of a Madman, Shot in the Dark, S.A.T.O., and S.I.N., are some more upbeat but still fantastic Ozzman vocals.
This is one of the best songs to chill to ever.
For years, I thought it was a different band member from Ozzy singing this song. Even without the vocal effects, it sounds like a different person.
As someone has noted when we listened to the album, this was a cool break from the Classic riffs and heavy drums we know them for. Amber has left the building. Thanks for this smile.
This song illuminates their jazz influence imho.
I believe it was Tony Iommi who said they wanted a song to space out, ideal for a good relaxing smoke
Whenever people try to tell me that classical music and jazz didn’t influence metal I tell them to listen to Black Sabbath.
Planet Caravan is one of my favorite Black Sabbath Songs. Cuz the song is a head trip in itself, which is what i love about it, It's one of the songs I can play on guitar myself as well. check Out The warning Next, That is one of their heavier metal sounding songs. With 2 to 3 solos in the song.
I love listening to this song when I'm stressed, or my anxiety is out of hand. I find it to be very calming.
You know if you want to do the originators of metal Black Sabbath is certainly one of the starters.
Black Sabbath/Under the Sun
Under the Sun would be my Walk-up song
The Black Sabbath song considered to have started metal, rhythmically(riff), is 'Symptom of the Universe,' off their album Sabotage. Check it out.
You found one of Sabbath's hidden gems. Surprise!
You want more? "Symptom of the Universe" or "Sabbra Cadabra"
If you like robin trowers bridge of sighs You should check out the song islands. He's great at creating a mood.
These guys are definitely pioneers of heavy metal in this song. It's a little out of character for them.
Best Metal Band Ever!
Pantera does a cover of this. Definitely should give that a listen too. They do it justice! Would be a nice comparison video. Just a thought. You guys are awesome!
A fantastic Latin funk band called Brownout does a great version of this. Both of their Black Sabbath cover albums are great!
There's also a band - The Main Squeeze - black lead singer, diverse members, who do a great cover of War Pigs. I'm positive they also did Fairies Wear Boots but I can't find it. War Pigs is still up. It has a keyboard solo! Check them out.
Brown Sabbath
Listening to Sabbath for 50 years, never heard this..
It's on Paranoid album, so you really haven't listened to much Sabbath at all then...
Sabbath is way more than the godfathers of heavy metal (sure they are !!🤘)
never afraid to get you by surprise with smooth instrumentals/great ballads & jazz inspiration ...
(check "wicked world" live, 19 mns long !)
creative band to the core
Most all metalheads consider Sabbath the forefathers of metal. Its due to Tonni Iommi guitar tuning being lowered to accomidate his finger injury giving him that dark sound. And of course the lryics mostly written by Gezzer Butler ability for the darkside type topics.
Just something to remember, nearly all rock 'n' roll from the 50s 60s and 70s (up until disco) was blues-based - however distantly. It may not have had the same overall feel; Poppy, upbeat, heavy - but by and large it shared the 4/4 time signature. So even the bands that expanded into new genres like Black Sabbath, they can trace the style back to blues.
I believe this song is about Earth and it's creatures traveling (as we do) through space, and the song writers expression of such.
Your hair looks great Amber!!! Btw, I believe this is my first time for this song as well... I'm a minute in and blown away as are you two..
Hope we Love it!!! Thanks for making us 😁 today!!!! 😃😄😅😆😉
Yah.... this was EPIC maybe a new favorite song.
I wonder can it replace my current face song that reactor ScribeCash did probably about 4 years ago; she turned me on to Chigago Transit Authority Poem 58.
You guys turned me on to Black Sabbath Planet Caravan just now...
Thank you two soooooo much 😁😁😁😁
Keep digging into Sabbath, you will never be disappointed. Thanx.
Love the song. Underrated. Lot of Sabbath fans don't care for it because it doesn't fit the usual Sabbath style.
Great song, I really love Pantera’s version too!!! 🤘🤘🔥🔥🥰
I was just about to mention that. Great cover!! There is a couple Black Sabbath cover albums. Nativity in Black I & II. The bands in them will blow your mind. Check it out if you haven't.
Right after this song on the album comes “Ironman”. What a contrast!
Imagine hearing this when it came out. You'd be on so much Acid. The Cocaine might help balance it out, but this song would still cut through. F*ckin banger.
My favourite it takes you somewhere else....🙏🙏
I see a recommendation for Pantera cover of this. I recommend it as well. Plus if you really want metal Pantera won't disappoint.
One of the best slow dance songs from my youth.
