Me and my best mate were a bit stoned one night flicking through music channels (must have been around 2009) this comes on and we were in tears of laughter, it became our anthem and we used to sing it whilst trying to also do the harmonising. He passed a couple of months ago of a brain tumour so this song hits even stronger now ❤

If your playing this is 2021 your an absolute legend 😎

Just saw him perform this in Belfast last night as the encore and it was unbelievable, had the whole arena singing. Had this on repeat since then😂

It felt like no one knew about the Housemartins back in 1980's California. I'm a sucker for smart lyrics and was hooked from the start. Paul's writing is so full of imagery and his voice is so distinctive. You can still hear a touch of Housemartins in the first two BS albums. This video is one of my favorites.

Still sounds brilliant 35 yrs later. Paul Heaton has a voice of a generation. Wonderful

I'm watching this at 9.40pm on Wednesday the 11th of January, 2023…

If you're also listening, you're a true legend; let's join the _Caravan of Love_ together! 🥰❤️

This song was played at my best friend's funeral. We'd kept in touch online, kept meaning to meet up over the years, but life and work always seemed to get in the way. She died suddenly earlier this year, aged only 46. Life is too short.

The song motivated by the love of God has endless beauty. Jesus loves us all.

Unforgettable, in the late 80es this marked the end of the night in my alternative club, we played a selection of goth, psych, new wave classics to an audience of goths, psychobilly and wavers. Fantastic times and jolly good music. I'm an elder, I know, but we had great fun.

This song just struck my head this morning. Have neither heard it or thought of it for decades. Must be the lyrics reaching out to the time we're living in. I never had the single or anything of Housemartins and back then I wouldn't care much, but you couldn't avoid hearing Caravan Of Love daily in 1986. A timeless song of it's time and one of the really nice tunes from the 80's. I think I'll bring it in to the jam-sett, and make it a reggae.

In mid 2024, I suddenly got the urge to listen to this beautiful song again. Thank you very much!

Xmas 1986 unforgettable : it was the first the Xmas Margaret and I met, married 30 years now 👍👍👍

[MetalMonkey]

I wonder how many 90's+ kids will like this song. There's not much to this song but 80's kids will remember it... Paul Heaton has a very unique and memorable voice

[LuminiASMR]

2022 and Still a hit! Love it! Stop the war! Peace in The world! Let the caravan of Love Speak louder!

[Ricardofromage]

The problems we face as a species haven't changed, nor has the importance of the message in this quite amazingly beautiful song, worked on a video for Paul in Manchester years ago, at JGs house, she was the drummer for the mock turtles. Mr Heaton was a gentleman!!!

I remember singing this aged about 6 with my slightly older cousin's. I remember being absolutely entranced by the song. Still am, a beautiful song with amazing vocals - lots of vocals! Beautiful

my dad always played the housemartins when i was very young, so finding this has made me extremely happy and nostalgic
