O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?Jiayou for LIT people! It's the last one! And lit is fun okay!
Of course, two songs in our playlist has connection to Romeo and Juliet. Wanna know which?
Check Yes Juliet by We The Kings..
Check yes Juliet
Kill the limbo
I'll keep tossing rocks at your window
(reference to Ac 2 Sc 2: Balcony Scene)There's no turning back for us tonight.
..
Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back.
They'll tear us apart
(reference to families)If you give them the chance.
Don't sell your heart.
(reference to Juliet marrying Paris, a kinsman of the Prince)Don't say we're not meant to be.
Run, baby, run.
Forever will be
(reference to Romeo And Juliet's eternal love)You and me.

Love Story by Taylor SwiftWe were both young when I first saw you
(Juliet was 13 when she met Romeo)I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
(Reference to Ac 2 Sc 2; Balcony Scene)See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
(Reference to Ac 1 Sc 5; When they met at a ball)That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
(Reference to Ac 2 Sc 2: Balcony)And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
(Montague-Capulet dispute)And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
(Reference to eloping together)You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
(Reference to the Balcony Sc/further similar scenes)We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
(The Capulets Servants cannot know.)So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
(shows the constrast difference)And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said
..
Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
(Shows the trouble Juliet feels)Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
(The exile of romeo)Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes
(Need I say more for the last two paragraph?)--
Hopefully this way you are able to appreciate R&J more. (:
Okay, I think I had enough of a break. Time for me to go back to reading the scenes. Good luck for literature, people!
