I think this would have to be my all time favourite song. This is what first taught me, at a very young age, to take something and make it your own. By that I mean, we all interpret things differently and that is great. Seeing the same story in as many different ways as possible also gets your creativity flowing.
I like this particular clip because it takes two versions of the same thing, both expressed in a totally unique way and merges them.
Baz Luhrmann, love him or hate him, turned this love story into a poetic combination of era's. Dire Straits took the original story and also put a modern twist on it. I love how the lyrics translate an almost ancient language into a current one.
Try it yourself and see what you come up with.
Happy writing ;)
