Kites Are Fun
The Free Design Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flying kites, flying kites, flying kites
Kites are fun, kites are fun, kites are fun
See my kite, it's fun
See my kite, it's green and white
Laughing in its distant flight
All that's between us is a little yellow string
But we like each other more than anything
And we run along together through the field behind my house
And the little drops of rain caress our face and wash my blouse
And we'd like to be a zillion miles away from everyone
'Cause Mom and Dad and Uncle Bill don't realise
Kites are fun, kites are fun, kites are fun
Kites are fun
See my kite, it's green and white
Laughing in its distant flight
All that's between us is a little yellow string
But we like each other more than anything
And we run along together through the field behind my house
And the little drops of rain caress our face and wash my blouse
And we'd like to be a zillion miles away from everyone
'Cause Mom and Dad and Uncle Bill don't realize
I like flying, flying kites, flying kites
Kites are fun, kites are fun, kites are fun
Kites are fun
See my kite, it's fun (See my kite, it's fun)
See my kite, it's fun (See my kite, it's fun)
See my kite, it's fun (See my kite, it's fun)
The Free Design's song Kites Are Fun is a whimsical and carefree tribute to the joy of flying kites. The lyrics describe the sensation of running through a field with a beloved kite, feeling the gentle drops of rain on the face, and the desire to be far away from the cares of the world. The singer takes delight in the simple pleasures of life, finding kinship and companionship with the kite that is connected to her by a "little yellow string." The kite is personified as a friend or partner, with whom she shares a special bond.
The song has a childlike innocence to it that is reinforced in the playful and upbeat melody. The repetition of "kites are fun" creates a sense of joyful affirmation, as if the singer is trying to convince everyone around her that they too should experience the joy of flying kites. There is a sense of nostalgia in the lyrics that pays homage to the simple pleasures of childhood, allowing listeners to connect to their own memories of a time when the world was full of wonder and possibilities.

Amazingly The Free Design only hit single. And it peaked at a lowly 114 on Billboard.......One of the finest bands of the 60s and its a crime they didn't get more commercial success. Thank God they're held in high esteem these days and people keep on discovering their Beautiful Soft Pop music. As for the cover artwork of their albums, we'll they're breathtakingly Beautiful!
