Kite (Live From The Fleet Center, Boston, MA, USA / 2001)U2

Released: October 30, 2020

This is a, this, this song is about letting go of

Someone you don’t want to let go of
Could be a lover, could be father
Could be, could be a child, could be a friend
I don’t know
This is Kite
(Stop crying)


Something is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it is
I’m not afraid to die
I’m not afraid to live
But when I’m flat on my back
I hope to feel like I did

‘Cause hardness, it sets in
You need some protection
The thinner the skin

I want you to know
That you don’t need me anymore
I want you to know
You don’t need anyone
Or anything at all

Who’s to say where the wind will take you?
Who’s to say what it is will break you?
I don’t know, which way the wind will blow
Who’s to know if the time has come around?
Don’t want to see you cry
But I know that this is not goodbye

Summer, I can taste the salt of the sea
There’s a kite blowing out of control on the breeze

I wonder what’s gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me…
(Child)

I’m a man, I’m not a child…
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes

Who’s to say where the wind will take you?
Who’s to say what it is will break you?
I don’t know which way the wind will blow
Who’s to know when the time has come around?
Don’t want to see you cry
But I know that this is not goodbye

Did I waste it?
Not so much I couldn’t taste it
Life should be fragrant
Rooftop to the basement

The last of the rocks stars
When hip hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
That was the big idea
Big idea

It’s summer, I can taste the salt of the sea
There’s a kite blowing out of control on a breeze

I wonder what’s gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me…

Thanks for hanging around…

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
