Esse post não tem nada a ver com nada. Estava ouvindo U2 para escrever sobre o U2 3D e me deparei novamente com essa versão de "Kite", do All That You Can't Leave Behind. É uma versão mais longa, tocada em Sydney, com direito a uma homenagem a Cate Blanchett e um solo maravilhoso de The Edge. Essa versão só perde para a gravada no Slane Castle, no famoso show GO HOME!, que saiu em DVD para os mortais e num CD limitado para o fã clube do U2.
Para quem não sabe, "Kite" foi composta para o pai de Bono, com quem não nutria uma amizade muito quente – coisa besta mesmo, de irlandês marrento. A letra é sobre perda, incertezas, arrependimentos e constatações. Alguns dias antes do show no Slane Castle, na Irlanda, onde The Unforgettable Fire foi criado, o pai do cantor morreu. Sei que Bono é performático pra caramba, mas nunca vi algo tão emocionante. Vou ripar a música do CD uma hora e colocar aqui. Por enquanto, baixe a maravilhosa versão "australiana" de "Kite" e leia a letra abaixo.
KITE
Something is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it means
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, 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
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 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
Roof top 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
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it means
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, 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
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 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
Roof top 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

Realmente, como dizem, o que tem a ver o cú com as calças? rs
Ehehehe... Sei lá. Deu vontade de dividir a versão da música quando comecei a ouvir.
