one of my favorites great lyrics been to every tour in miami from the joshua tree tour to vertigo tour and counting went its all said and done no other band in the history of music will get close to u2. every album is a masterpiece u2fan for life.
He wrote this song about his dad after he passed away. They didn't get along very well most of the time and I think it's obvious he still feels bad about it.
He actually wrote this well before his Dad passed away. The album had come out nearly a year before Bob passed away in August 2001 and they performed this at Slane Castle the weekend of Bob's passing. It was always dedicated to him though. It was actually Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own that he wrote after his Dad died. They performed a rough version of SYCMIOYO for the first time at Bob's funeral in August 2001.
Almost correct. His dad passed away during the Elevation-tour. But he did write it for his dad who was seriously ill and about to go, you got that right ;-)
I guess Bob had already passed away by the time we caught their Elevation show. When Bono intro'ed Kite, what he said made it sound like he wrote the song after his dad had passed. Thanks for the info!
Great work and choice of song, one of their best and most of all the saddest U2 song. Oh and bye the way the best band right now by far noone is even close lets be honest.
AND THEIR IRISH

@kmamlhc7 Muziek is kunst .. Maar je hebt wel gelijk want 'kite' is niet zomaar
'een schoon liedje' . 'KITE' is gewoon perfectie, niks minder, verslavend !! Als je
dat ook vindt, hier is dé ALLERBESTE versie van 'kite' (meer dan 9 min .) ;
U2 KITE SYDNEY 2006 geupload door 'chapmanhamilton' . Je vindt het ook
terug op mijn kanaal op de 3de plaats van mijn favorieten .
