Good Voice
Babyface
I always loved this song and, in a moment of melancholy, I tried to interpret the meaning. It's another song about death, in this case another song for Bono's dad. I tried marrying it with the stuff from Boy and October, as many of those songs were about Bono's mother, and I probably guess Larry's too as he also lost his mother young.
The strength of the lyrics hasn't changed over the 25 years or so since those albums, but the polish to the music has. I wonder how they would work with the lyrics from Boy and October now, if they had to write new music to complement them.
BTW, a search for "Kite cover" on youtube gets you to some guys covering the music with no vocals. I'd swear it was U2 it's so good. Cracking background for a karaoke session.
