Cover art for Naturaleza Muerta lyrics by Mecano

Another short story turned song by Mecano, two passionate lovers separated by tragedy. Ana is so beautiful, even the ocean is jealous of her lover Miguel, who is a fisherman. Miguel goes out on his boat an drowns during a storm caused by the jealous waters. Ana never loses hope and keeps waiting for Miguel by the shore, turning into a statue of salt. The waves crashing onto her are caused by Miguel, trying desperately to escape the ocean's grip (i.e. death) to rejoin his beloved one. The imagery is so poetic!
