For many years, the group presented a ragamuffin image and a vagabonding lifestyle, travelling around Europe in a double-decker bus and houseboat. Their image was enhanced by their eclectic and often homemade clothing, and the very long hair worn by both male and female members of the band. The Kelly Family began to break up in 2000 and afterwards they performed mostly as individuals or sub-sets of the whole group and took on a more mainstream look.

Key to My Heart
The Kelly Family Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wide and open for you
The key to my heart
It could be you
And if you got the key to my heart
You gotta unlock the door
And to unlock the door
You gotta find the right floor
You can try, you can try
To get to my heart
You can try, you can try
To find the right floor
Go ahead and dream
Dream as far as you want
The key to my heart
It's not a dream come true
You can try, you can try
To get to my heart
You can try, you can try
To find the right floor
If you happened to try
You could do fine
But if you happen to fly
Don't fall and cry
Please don't cry, please don't cry
You're breaking my heart
Please don't cry, please don't cry
You're breaking my heart
There's a part of my heart
Wide and open for you
The key to my heart
It could be you
If you got the key to my heart
You gotta unlock the door
To unlock the door
You gotta find the right floor
You can try, you can try
To get to my heart
You can try, you can try
To find the right floor
Unlock my heart
and you can see
The key to my heart
It could be me
The lyrics of the song "Key to My Heart" by The Kelly Family talk about the singer's heart being wide and open for someone special.

The singer talks about the importance of finding the right person who can unlock the door to their heart by finding the right floor. It is a metaphor that suggests finding the right way to someone's heart requires effort and patience. The singer acknowledges that it is not easy to find the right path, but one can try and succeed. However, the singer warns that if the person fails, they shouldn't cry and break the singer's heart because that would hurt them.

they are fantastic! all who hates others for their success or just without any reason have unresolved problems with themselves that's why project their problems on others.... I have never understood why some people discredit others for listening some kind of music - and I never will... music has no boundaries.... we are all one! peace :)
