1. Last year’s Half a Million Miles CD celebrated musicians Pete and Maura Kennedy’s first decade of married life and their first 500,000 tour miles as increasingly beloved purveyors of an exuberant blend of folk, rock, country, pop and secular gospel music with philosophical underpinnings. On Songs of the Open Road, The Kennedys forego their self-composed songs of transcendent twang to present new versions of their favorite traveling music written by others that fit their own musical and personal outlook. As confirmed road warriors and performance addicts, The Kennedys have logged well over 1,000 gigs and half a million miles of touring, bringing their songs and spirit to venues ranging from the prestigious Newport, Falcon Ridge and Kate Wolf music festivals to the most intimate house concerts. A fearsome accident on the New Jersey Turnpike last year totaled The Kennedys’ third touring van and eventually influenced them to shift their home base from New York’s East Village to more laid-back headquarters in Northampton, Mass. They continue to tour constantly, to record (they have three new projects already on tape), to host their “Dharma Café” show on SIRIUS Satellite radio, and to spread their exhilarating, inclusive and meaningful music across a polarized country that needs to hear it now more than ever.
2. "The Kennedys" is also a title referencing the orchestra guided by Nigel Kennedy and Jaz Coleman who put together Concerto versions of some of The Doors' songs and is therefore often mistaken with this group. Anyone scrobbling those tracks will have their numbers end up here.

When I first saw you
I didn't know what to say
I didn't know what to do
Tryna find my way
Girl, I'm all on you
I might even be late
I cannot be replaced
So let's do what we want
The day might come we can't
I'm always here for you
I can't forget the place
[Chorus]
When I first saw you
I didn't know what to say
I didn't know what to do
Tryna find my way
I wrote this song for you
I hope it finds your taste
I know it's overdue
Just hope it ain't too late
So let's stay up all night
The day might come we can't
I'm always here for you
I won't forget your face
[Chorus]
When I first saw you
I didn't know what to say
I didn't know what to do
Tryna find my way

They express that their love is the truth and that they cannot be replaced.
Throughout the song, the singer makes reference to the fact that time is fleeting and they don’t want to waste any more of it without the person they’re in love with, saying “So let's do what we want, the day might come we can't” and “So let's stay up all night, the day might come we can’t.” They also indicate that the song is meant to be for the person they’re in love with and that they hope it finds their taste even though it’s overdue.

Intrigued by The Tuesdays, I went looking on the web, and found a few CDs on eBay, some only $4 with free shipping. They're not the original 1994 release, but the 1998 Arista release. A copy is heading to my mailbox as we speak.
And when you said all-girl Norwegian band, I thought at first you meant Katzenjammer. You should check them out - mostly acoustic though still exuberant, and they switch around their instruments a lot. They broke up a few years ago, but I still listen to them a lot. My favorite album is their first, "Le Pop." But they're all good.
