Lyrics:
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
And 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, anything at all
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to know 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 wanna see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye
In summer I can taste the salt in 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
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 know what it is will break you
I don't know where the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
I don't wanna see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye
Did I waste it?
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Roof top to the basement
The last of the rock stars
When hip hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
That was the big idea - Hudba
My mother died that year and this song got me through it. Great song.
I've lost everything. But God.
Why isn’t this song played more? It’s incredible.
They scared away from these albums but I think there’s an argument that post 2000 they did their best work.
I was singing this song with Bono that night and I’m sitting on my couch singing it with him now 19 years later. My almost 34 years of fandom sure has been a trip. I was 11 when I discovered these guys thanks to my social studies teacher. I’ll be 45 in April. These gents are literally the soundtrack to my life. I will love them to the very depths of my soul for all the rest of my days. Adam, Edge, Larry and of course, Bono...a million thank yous from me wouldn’t even scratch the surface. Thank you for seeing me through all the phases of my life. Love you guys ❤️
I was 19 when I first heard “Sunday Bloody Sunday” on the radio. Bought the album (yes album) “War” as soon as I found it on the shelf & been a fan ever since. (still have the album 😎👍)
Saw them live in Detroit during the Joshua Tree tour in 1987 (when tickets were under $20)
@@greenmile9496 That’s so cool! Sunday Bloody Sunday was my introduction to U2 as well! My social studies teacher was teaching us about Northern Ireland and he played the song for us. I was instantly in love. I begged my mom to start buying me all their albums (mine were all on cassette lol). The first album I ever purchased all on my own with my own money was Rattle and Hum. I was 12. The teenager at the record store told me I had good taste in music, especially for a little kid. All my classmates were listening to New Kids on the Block and I was listening to U2. My mom kept telling me that U2 was a phase and I’d grow out of it. Lol I guess moms don’t know everything
@@207LW that’s awesome👍
I passed the torch along to one of my daughters as well. She completed a study abroad in Ireland a few years ago also!
Beautiful country that I’d love to visit someday bloody someday😁
Me too! Saw my first U2 concert at the Boston Garden during the Joshua Tree tour. Almost passed out when they came onto the stage. I starting listening to them when I was 15 and I'm almost 50 now. Ughh! They are the soundtrack of my life too. 😁
@@ScottH. ...small world! 🌎
We share the same name, except my last is spelled with an “e”
✌️😎
Awesome track , this was just played at my friends funeral RIP Martin
One of U2’s hidden classics. The performance is flawless, up there with one of their best ever live moments. Bono’s singing is as good as it gets.
This song surely must be one of U2's hidden treasures.
Ironically I ha have had a passion for kites since being a child. And literally first time I heard this I fell in love with it.
It is
Amongst many hidden gems some of which didn't even make it to an album or a "B" side
Grace too❤
U2 forever
My dad died suddenly of a heart attack just a few days ago. We were incredibly close and this was our song. Hearing it brings me both immense pain but also comfort.
I’ll see you soon Dad, and we’ll share a Guinness in the sky.
I hope you feel better now
Bono's lyrics of life, pain and searching for meaning have carried so many of us at one time or another.. Im sorry for your loss.
Tough deal. I hope you find comfort in your fathers passing. I probably said that wrongly. First time I heard this song, I told my wife, that is our departure song.
May his soul rest in peace my Sister from Zwelihle South Africa
May you have comfort in the loving memories of bygone days and cherished memories of your dad. This very song brings me to tears, just to reminsce and i feel like singing it out loud. One of the Bono's best that simply trnscends one from this state of being to nothingness, the oblivion. After all such powerful songs remind us how similar we all are at the very core of our existence.
Hearing Bono sing this not long after losing his father always brings a tear to my eyes.
Bono wrote this song for his daughter but it ended up being about his father when he passed away.
What a great night at the garden❤
U2 Forever ❤
I remember when I had watched this performance around the same time my own Father was dying. As I watched my Father laying on the sofa in his last days of fighting cancer, I watched Bono singing this...feeling this, knowing he was at the same place in my life with his own Father that I was at that moment. It was like a dam broke...and when he said "this song is about letting go of somebody that you don't want to let go of. it could be a lover, it could be a Father, could be a child, could be a friend." It was hard to let go, but at that time I was a brick wall. Strong. Tough. Until I let go...my ego flew as my Father confessed his sins, fears, and regrets. I was able to see him as a man, a man on a journey, and I was blessed and privileged as I told him "so long Dad, see you soon...and safe travels"
I got emotional reading your comment and you will see him again..
wow, what strong words my friend...it is incredible what a song can transmit to us or where it can take us...this song for me is without a doubt in the top 10...it is very very beautiful...congratulations on your words
Same here went through exactly same
I needed this comment today. Thank you. God bless.
@@elizabethacevedo558 I hope you are healed Elizabeth. Unfortunately...I visited this place because I miss my Dad tonight.
This is by far the best U2 concert ever filmed. Edge's guitar power is just unique.
Bono sings from his heart!
This makes me think of my own Dad who died on Christmas Day 7 years ago
I just love these guys, mates. They are like my big brothers from Ireland.
Don't you know it? They're like the brothers I never had.
Rest in peace, daddy. I love you.
The best and the most hidden song of U2.
Only for a few!!
your music dont need drugs
This song destroys me in a good way... Miss you!
U2 in prime.
I like so much this song
This is one of U2s best songs
I love how Bono and Adam admired the Edge's solo
Edge’s playing. Gets me every time ❤️
Hope they play this masterpiece after this pandemic..
It’s such a shame this song didn’t become a single, so beautiful.
@@JamesKovacic that's what she said.
Acredito eu que há músicas que não são para virar single, assim não perde a essência, essa música não é pra qualquer um, é algo pra ser sentido no fundo da alma, é algo inexplicável e transcendental.
To my dad that used to tell me to shut up when this song came on in the full concert version. Sending Love Mike x
What an emotional, powerful song! Bono is top notch here!
🥰🥰🥰
Truly 💯!
I think it he wrote it about his late father. There are definitely themes here like growing up, showing controlled agression, being strong and yet show empathy and compassion. Such a well written piece. Quite possibly his finest. I love this album too. To me, it's like their 'white album' going back to their core values after the 90's electro era.
My favorite song
One of those songs that you fall in love with and it breaks your heart.
aun como la primera vez que la escuche... fantastico U2..!!!
Bono channels so much emotion in every verse of this song.
Kite 🪁 One of my U2 favorite song
Biggest Band Of All Time.
Thanks for hangin around
I dedicate this one to my best friend for life and after... Anthony Nevejans....the best and most awesome U fan ever...Now In Heaven
Best band ever!!!
Masterpiece!
The essence of U2… at its best .thank you
Trust me 🙏 -- for those that have lost someone; this is not goodbye... #ONE
Not hardly.
Esta canción es un abrazo al alma...! ¿Quién la escucha en este año 2024? ❤️🙌🏻
EU AQUI NO BRASIL 🇧🇷 U2 FOREVER!!!
The most deserving song to bring back for next tour ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
For god's sake!!
Edge needs to relearn When I Look At The World!
Maybe the greatest song of all time, by the greatest band of all time.
Concordo plenamente.
U2. Always been my favourite .
Love you guys
Currently sitting with my great aunt in hospice care. 92. She’s buried all her children and her husband. I pray she’s welcomed with wide arms of all those she has lost. I love you so much, aunt V. I know that this is not goodbye.
❤ que Deus abençoe.
Strong lady, Aunt V! May she rest in peace and in your heart forever. What a lovely niece you were to be by her side at the end of her journey. May God bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you until you meet her again. RIP Aunt V!!! 🙏 ❤
This song has it all.
Don't want to see you cry, and I know that this is not goodbye.
Priceless.
The song that really helped me understand my life ♥️
I remember I driving in Germany, listening "Where the Streets Have No Name" in a tape in 1990. Now with almost 58 yes, I keep listening these old magnific songs.
2021/2022 still the biggest band on earth
Bono is the love of my life since I was 14, now I'm 54. Lol
OMG Kite ❤❤❤
One of my friends died suddenly of a non COVID issue during the pandemic very suddenly, this song was what I used to get through it. One of, if not my favorite u2 songs
May Peace Be With You 🙏
"A man who sees the shadow behind your eyes..." 😍😍😍😍
I dedicate this song to my grandfather, who passed away on thursday... I know that this is not goodbye...
Keep that feeling in your heart, he'll come visit there ! ❤️ Much love. May Peace Fill Your Heart 💕
I understand..i loose my mother in 2003 (44yo)when i was a teenager ..
This is a flawless performance. Never seen anything like it
One of the most beautiful melodies written on earth 💜
Love this song. 😍😍
I certainly know it’s fans like yourself that has pushed us to this level of success we have attained in our career. I want to use this medium to say a personal big thank you for all your love . How long have you been a fan ?
Since 1980
@@angelicagarcia6909 that’s amazing and very much appreciated. So sad one cannot make it to any show this year because of the pandemic . Great music connection is what the world needs . Ever been to one of the live shows
No importa las veces que la escuche, siempre me hace llorar esta canción 🥺🥺🥺
U2 should sing this song once again.
20 Years ago
U2 are Still giving us 'Greats' like this
Absolutely Legendary
Edge is a great singer too and a fantastic guitar player. Bono is 62 now and still going strong.Sending Love and Light.
Kite.❤
What a great song
Raw emotion right there !! #kite
They put on one amazing show. I've seen them a few times or so.
Truly the last of the rock stars

I discovered these Irishmen in the early 80s in my teens...saw the Red Rocks concert live on MTV and was HOOKED. I grew up with these boys in high school and college. I tried to get tix to the Unforgettable Fire and Joshua Tree tours but sold out within hours! I finally had my day in Pittsburgh in 2011, and I will never forget it it. It was surreal....if you never got the chance to witness them live, you will never know.
Amazing song. Reminds my teenage years.
Same!
It takes me back to my younger days as well, except for that I was a young boy, when this concert took place. I didn't really know about U2's existence back then. However this song makes me feel nostalgic for that period of time. Those were innocent times. That's what I feel when I hear this song.
One of my favorite U2 song
i love this song
U2 is my oldest love in music. Bono's voice, Edge's great sound and guitar playing and the solid and original spine of the band with Larry and Adam who are always forgotten... Juts one of the best bands still active that never changed a band member and that was never afraid to take chances. I would love your input on our last video. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : czcams.com/video/ufF4gUA_6rQ/video.html
Who's is listening this beautiful song during COVID Pandemic ??? And still thinks is going through many years more !!!
For my boy Blondie, all the words I didn't know how to express to you my friend. May your days in the green fields of the rainbow bridge be fun and care free. I love and miss you. See you again someday
The guitarists did a spiritual justice to this track and the esoteric lyrics is out of this world. This is my best U2 track.
After seeing this on the Slane Castle DVD, I can't listen to it without getting misty-eyed. I posted it last year, when my 98-year-old Grandmother passed on what would have been my Dad's 70th BirthDay. Thanks Bono, and Bob Hewson.💝 A gorgeous song.
One of the greatest ballads of the last 20ish years. Amazing.
Agree. Chills and goosebumps activated since the first notes
3:41 This moment between Bono and Adam... he’s so proud of him
Lloré
Quem espera uma tour pós pandemia deixa LIKE 🙏🥰

Come back in 2021.. You all live in us!!
The only singer i have ever heard to sing so genuine, feelings and lyrics that are no cliches or poses, just his heart given to us. A man who had the courage and shouted out his soul singing to God

God bless you! 🇸🇰❤️
Still one of my favorite songs.
I’m just gonna leave this here. I’ve always been a U2 fan but “All that You Can’t Leave Behind” is without question, one of their greatest works, IMO. I toured the country with this album on repeat (in my van with a trailer) for months and couldn’t listen to anything else back in in the early 2000s, so it has a very nostalgic vibe for me. We each have albums that mean a lot to us. This is definitely a monumental record for me. I say this sitting here reading “Surrender-40 songs, One Story by Bono. Thanks for the inspiration. Not many of us get to live THAT life, but we would do it regardless. And we still do.
My Lovely Band U2
For me, a. life long U2 fan, one of their best live songs.
Kite has everything; good lyrics, good voice, good music especially the guitar.
Excellent
The best performance of u2 del dvd en boston
Thanks youre doing the 2020 a good year
I grew up with U2. Still today at 49... U2 never ends ❣️🌹✌️
I’m not the biggest u2 fan but Bono’s voice is something unique. So expressive and powerful, full of details to delight the ears. And btw, Edge does a really amazing job here too, constantly switching from arpeggios to slider, changing mics and effects. Lots of layers with one instrument.
Its songs like these that gives you the idea of how great of a band is U2. A multimillion sales band with literal dozens of hits and many songs known by the whole world. Yet, some of their best are deep cuts. Songs that could be the best one in a whole band's career is a deep cut for U2. Kite, Gone, A Sort Of Homecoming, I Fall Down, Dirty Day, 40, Breathe, One Tree Hill, The Little Things That Give You Away...are a few examples of this.
You can hear his 80s voice creeping out in places :)
Just amazing was fortunate enough to see them live in flesh and blood ❤️
U2 till eternity
i used to sing with u2 from my school bench ! almost 20 years now ! and i am still singing with them on my school bench !
So very great, thank God for U2
....they played "Gone" right after, it was epic - guitar kicking and all.
But the Slane Castle rendition of "Kite" struck an emotional chord - Bono's father had just past away earlier that week... He cries while singing it.. And at the end, after the very last "big idea" verse he says - "talk to each other".
Both versions are incredible, I love the version of Gone they play in this concert, I hope they upload that next
Kite and Gone are so underrated, 2 of my fave U2 tracks
Bono's father was standing right next to me in the heart shaped ellipse in july of this year at the Paris concert and his two 10 year's old daughters were on stage during mysterious way, i felt like part of his Family this night.
It was during this stay in Paris that they went to the opera.
@@mofornr8170 wow... 🥺
