What The Water Gave Meby *GothicNarcissus

Photography / People & Portraits / Emotive Portraits

"Time, it took us
To where the water was:
That's what the water gave me.
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us.
Oh, my love, don't forsake me,
Take what the water gave me.

Lay me down,
Let the only sound
Be the overflow,
Pockets full of stones.
Lay me down,
Let the only sound
Be the overflow.

And oh, poor Atlas,
The world's a beast of a burden,
You've been holding on a long time.
And all this longing,
And the shields are left to rust:
That's what the water gave us.

So lay me down,
Let the only sound
Be the overflow,
Pockets full of stones.
Lay me down,
Let the only sound
Be the overflow.

'Cause they took your loved ones
But returned them in exchange for you,
But would you have it any other way?
Would you have it any other way?
You could have had it any other way.
'Cause she's a crueller mistress
And the bargain must be made,
But oh, my love, don't forget me
When I let the water take me.

So lay me down,
Let the only sound
Be the over flow,
Pockets full of stones.
Lay me down,
Let the only sound
Be the overflow."

_{[ What The Water Gave Me - Florence + The Machine ]}

The new single by Florence + The Machine is out on youtube, and it's such an amazing song it couldn't fail to inspire me, given that I had to shoot in the water for the Hurts song. It took me just a couple of listens and a quick reading of the lyrics to get stuck with this image, and here it is!
Taken in Alghero, Italy. You can read more about the photoshoot on my blog.

Makes me think of the greek god Glaucos. Though if his mythological appearance is accurate then you have him beat in the looks department by a long shot.
