Kuu kaakon yllä

~ Release by Viikate (see all versions of this release, 5 available)

Annotation

The capitalization of this album's name and the 9th track is disputable. Here's reasoning for and against both titles:

Kuu Kaakon Yllä

  • The main argument: artist's intent
  • Every time the title appears on this release it's written like this. (cover art)
  • The discography entry for this album on the official homepage also uses this capitalization. (discography)
  • Other physical releases by Viikate which use this capitalization: (1)

Kuu kaakon yllä

  • The main argument: there's not enough intention so Finnish capitalization rules should apply.
  • Viikate is inconsistent with the capitalization in their own releases. This release has the title in lower case in cover art and on the official homepage.
  • All compilations seem to use this capitalization: (1), (2)
  • Articles and media use this capitalization: (1), (2), (3), (4), (5)
  • This isn't the only case where capitalization is inconsistent: (Kurjat kurjet: cover art vs official homepage)
  • The capitalization doesn't add any more meaning into the title, as itself or in the context of the lyrics.

Neutral

  • Digital releases and web stores use all kinds of capitalizations.
  • "Kuu Kaakon Yllä" is the last line in the official lyrics. The emphasis doesn't have any direct meaning behind it though.
  • The same capitalization should be used in all instances of the title. It would be stupid to capitalize the title somewhere and somewhere not since they are different instances of the same work and the meaning doesn't change.
