The story behind the song

This song, written in 1950 by Ed McCurdy, emerged during a time of looming war and the Red Scare, carrying a strong anti-war theme. It quickly became a staple in the folk music community due to McCurdy's connections and was embraced by artists who felt its emotional weight. Simon & Garfunkel recorded their version for their debut album, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. in 1964. At its heart, the song plays like a hopeful wish for a world united in peace.

Last night I had the strangest dream I ever dreamed before

And guns and swords and uniforms were scattered on the ground.
