song of the day 10/27:Lemon

[bsp77]

Isn't Kite about his father?

It was for his children, talking about his own death one day, and how his kids can make it w/o him. But after his father's death, he thought it was almost like his father wrote it for him.

 

[JOFO]

I always thought of Bowie when I listened to this song.

great song.

and yes, extremlely avant'garde for its time. (as was most of zooropa).

 

[Oregoropa]

I have been hooked on Zooropa lately and sucking down my Lemon juice. I love the line "And I feel, like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under"

 

[Jamila]

Beautiful, haunting, elegant song.

"Lemon" always makes me want to cry - the loss that Bono feels in this song is so palpable.

It is TRULY ONE OF U2's MOST UNIQUE SONGS.

And the high notes the B-man reaches in this song is incredible.

U2 at their experimental best. I love "Lemon".
