I´ve been challenged by my dear friend to photograph something related to song called Don´t say a word by Sonata Arctica.
I choce part of the lyrics; "pacta sunt servanda". Pacta sunt servanda is latin, it means that promises sould be kept, and it refers to legal agreements - marriage, too, is a legal agreement.
Also if I had to sum the meaning of that song, I could fit it in this one single frase; pacta sunt servanda; you should keep your part of the deal.
Marriage is not mentioned nowhere in the lyrics, it´s just my own interpretation of the song. The way I see it, is that it´s about broken marriage and about this man, who has a really strict moral beliefs and can´t really find peace until he keeps his part of the deal, which of course is the whole till death do us part thing. He sees no another way to keep his promise than, that one of them has to die, and since she is the one who broke the promise in the first place, she is the one.
It´s not the interpretion that the song writer himself has given to this song, but for me this powerful lyrics to work, there has to be a real agreement, a real promise behind it all.
Not completely happy with this shot, I really wanted to show more of this beautiful Certificate of Marriage, that I found in the internet but nothing but the close ups worked. I may have to visit this theme later.
In this version the frase pacta sunt servanda comes at 3:33 -how cool is that?
"Last drop falls" kind of precedes this song... I like the certificate idea, but you could take it further in the spirit of the song ? Tear it, stab a knife through it.... go crazy, it works :)
@janim Oh I like that, why didn´t I think of that! Thank you for the idea, I´ll try it at some point, I promise. I see Last drop falls (Which I love bytheway) as its own story, but I rather see the end of this chapter preceeding this song, some think it´s the other way around.
