Underrated Song


The song "Kite" (from U2's 2000 masterpiece, ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND) is such an underrated song.  I will let it speak for itself, but I do highly recommend that you put it on right now and turn it up really loud!

KITE

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 

And 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 when the 
time has come around

Don't want to see you cry 
I know that this is not goodbye 

It's somewhere 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 
Do 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 say 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 want to 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 
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 
What was the big idea
