Romeo and Juliet Songs

August30

ACT 1 Scene 5 – Romeo and Juliet fell in love in a hopeless place, at a party where no one would expect.

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

ACT 2 Scene 6 – Love Story by Taylor Swift; Romeo and Juliet are in love and they are married by Friar Lawrence.

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I’ll be waiting; all that’s left to do is run.
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess,
It’s a love story, baby, just say, “Yes.”

ACT 3 Scene 1 – Stay by Rihanna; Romeo kills Tybalt and is Banished from Verona. Juliet wants him to stay which is relevant to Rihanna’s song “Stay”.

Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can’t live without you.
It takes me all the way.
I want you to stay

ACT 4 Scene 1 – Check yes Juliet by We Are the Kings; this song talks about being in love and running away together. In This scene Friar Lawrence’s’ plan for Juliet to drink the potion and run away with Romeo refers to the lyrics.

Run baby run
Don’t ever look back
They’ll tear us apart if you give them the chance
Don’t sell your heart, don’t say we’re not meant to be
Run baby run, forever we’ll be
You and me

ACT 5 Scene 3 – Beautiful Goodbye by Maroon 5; the last scene in this play Romeo and Juliet both die and essentially say goodbye, to life. The lyrics sum up their whole

And I remember your eyes were so bright
When I first met you, so in love that night
And now I’m kissing your tears goodnight
And I can’t take it, you’re even perfect when you cry

    Great choices Sarah and the first to do so as well! Well done! I like the way your have highlighted particular verses/lines from each song to show how it connects to the play. Your first choice is great. It really WAS a seemingly hopeless situation, wasn’t it? Love story, I think, is going to be a popular choice and fits perfectly. Stay by Rhianna fits the mood of the Scene/Act perfectly. Your final choice is well considered and the lyrics fit nicely with teh two lovers’ final moments together. Thank you for sharing.
