BLACK SABBATH - Planet Caravan

“Planet Caravan“ is a song by the English heavy metal band Black Sabbath. It was originally released on their 1970 album Paranoid. Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler - who composed the song’s lyrics - said the song is about floating through the universe with one’s lover. Black Sabbath lead vocalist Ozzy Osbourne uses a Leslie speaker to achieve the vocals’ treble and vibration effects. The piano parts on the track were played by album engineer Tom Allom. Iommi overdubbed flute to the reversed multitrack master which was then re-forwarded and treated with stereo delay. 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. #Black_Sabbath #Planet_Caravan
