Kite / U2 cover by Brian Travis
"KITE" Written by U2. covered / performed by Brian Travis
While listening to U2's 'All That You Can't Leave Behind' on vinyl last weekend, I was struck by how beautiful this song is. I wanted to see if I could cover it. I had to shift the key to make it singable for my limited range, but I enjoyed tracking it in my home studio and am happy with the result.
This song reminds me of living in Santa Cruz in the late 90's. Riding around in my girlfriend's white truck, eating thai food, sneaking pizza into movie theaters and generally loving life in that sleepy little beach town. When this album came out I bought my girlfriend and I tickets for the Elevation tour and we arrived early enough to get a good general admission spot on the floor right up against the heart shaped stage/catwalk. It was such an amazing show. One of my all time favorite concerts.
This cover was recorded in my home studio. I played all the parts. I was going to add a bass part, but decided I thought it sounded fine without it. Enjoy!
