1. Last year’s Half a … Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
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.
In My Dreams
The Kennedys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never saw a love so lost as ours
There never was a child so far from home
He's never felt so easy on his own
Close those eyes
Another night unfurled
The oldest dream in the world
I never saw a place so full of scars
I never saw a loss so loved as ours
There is a man asleep in me somewhere
Just as he
Closed his eyes
Another night unfurled
The oldest dream in the world
I never saw a night so full of stars
I never saw a love so lost as ours
Close your eyes
Another night unfurled
The oldest dream in the world
The Kennedys's song In My Dreams is a poignant and contemplative reflection on lost love and the universal experience of feeling alone and disconnected. The opening lines, "I never saw a night so full of stars/I never saw a love so lost as ours," immediately set a melancholic tone that is sustained throughout the song. The imagery of stars in the night sky is used to convey a sense of wonder and longing, while the reference to a lost love suggests a feeling of regret and longing for what might have been.
The next lines, "There never was a child so far from home/He's never felt so easy on his own," add a layer of complexity to the song's meaning, suggesting that the feelings of loneliness and disconnection are not limited to romantic relationships, but can also occur within oneself. The singer seems to be struggling with a sense of identity and purpose, as evidenced by the reference to "a man asleep in me somewhere." The repeated refrain of "Close your eyes/Another night unfurled/The oldest dream in the world" suggests that the singer is searching for some sort of meaning or solace in his dreams, but is ultimately unable to find it.
Overall, In My Dreams is a powerful and introspective song that speaks to the universal human experience of longing and regret. Through its evocative imagery and heartfelt lyrics, it captures the essence of what it means to feel disconnected from oneself and the world around us, and offers a glimpse of hope for those who have lost their way.

To the girl who colored my world:
Thank you.
Thank you for letting me see the world isn't just a monotonous black and white.
Thank you for showing me what real love feels like.
Thank you for allowing me to see the different shades of gold every time the sun goes down.
Thank you for being my motivation to keep going.
Thank you for being a true light in the darkness.
I'm sorry we couldn't be together, but fate had other plans.
I hope the girl you are with now makes you feel what I felt.
I hope she shows you the different shades of gold.
I hope she colors your world.
Because mine still is.
