On The Third Day...

Description

On the third day he took me to the river.
He showed me the roses and we kissed,
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist.

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief.
As I kissed her goodbye, I said, ‘All beauty must die’
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth.

They call me ‘The Wild Rose’,
But my name was Eliza Day.
Why they call me it I do not know,
For my name was Eliza Day,
My name was Eliza Day,
For my name was Eliza Day.


[ Where The Wild Roses Grow – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds ]


Finally, I’m publishing this series I took back in February with BriarRose and her boyfriend. As you can easily guess, it is inspired by this beautiful song by Nick Cave (featuring Kylie Minogue), and is a depiction of the lyrics.
At the beginning, I was thinking of taking a single shoot inpired by the climax of song to start a series inspired by the whole Murder Ballads album and subsequently do a photo for each song, but when we all got to the set we decided to take many shoots from multiple parts of the lyrics. So well, I don’t know what I’m going to do with the other songs but by now I’ve got this series which I really love. I hope you do as well. :heart:
Taken in the Parco del Valentino, Turin.
