The Kennedys just released their new album "Headwinds," and to celebrate Maura Kennedy tells us about the song "The Sky Doesn't Look Right". Here is the story:
I like to write about what's in front of me, and I like to observe from all angles. What was in front of us during the pandemic years was a lot of sky and the Hudson River. In April of 2020, we had moved out of the East Village apartment we'd lived in for the better part of 20 years, and up the train line to a place on a bluff high above the river. From our vantage point, we could see storms coming across the river, and we could see three whole towns from that height. In contrast, looking out our New York City window, we could see the building next to us, so this new, broad view of the sky and surroundings was something we noticed on a daily basis. And, of course, we had more time to notice these things during the shutdown. Sky and river, and the environment in general, figure into several of the songs on the new album "Headwinds," especially on "The Sky Doesn't Look Right." (continue)
