Song #1
Romeo and Juliet by: Dire Straits
This song directly relates to the play Romeo and Juliet. It basically tells the story of the two of them, "Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same" (Dire Straits) This quote from the song is similar to the prologue of Romeo and Juliet where it said "two households , both alike in dignity" (william shakespeare) and the rest of the song is similar to the theme that the play transmits. "Cant you see? the dice was loaded from the start"(Dire Straits) this other quote perfectly helps to transmit the theme of the story which is fate, in the times of shakespeare, fate and destiny were something that was written from the start, something that you cant change no matter what you do, that is why Romeo and Juliet were two star crossed lovers, meaning fate and destiny we against them and they were never meant to be together no matter how much they tried or how much they loved each other.

Love story by: Taylor Swift
The story and theme behind this song is, similar to Romeo and Juliet, banned or impossible love, where similarly to the play, she loves him and he loves her but things like their parents and other people got in the way making it impossible for them to be together. I think that this is another great example of a song that relates to the play.

Stole my heart by: One direction
This song is about a boy who goes to a party and as soon as he looks at a girl, she thinks she is so perfect and so beautiful that he falls in love with her at first sight. "Under the lights tonight, you turned around, and you stole my heart With just one look, when I saw your face I fell in love It took a minute girl to steal my heart tonight" This song fits perfectly with the party scene when Romeo sees Juliet for the first time and instantly fell in love with her and vice-versa , she stole his heart and he stole hers.

Song #4
I wont give up by: Jason Mraz
This song relates to the feelings that Romeo and Juliet have towards each other since it talks about not giving up on each other even if bad consequences come "I wont give up on us, even if the skies get rough, I'm giving you all my love" (Jason Mraz). In the play, Romeo and Juliet didn't give up on each other and didn't abandoned each other, they fought a lot for they love and it was worth it for them even if they ended up dead.

Song #5
Ours by: Taylor Swift
This song talks about prejudices and judgemental people, it talks about how in everything there is always someone who disapproves, but you can never make everyone happy with the choices you take, what matters the most is that you are happy with the choice you made and not others. This song relates to the play romeo and Juliet because in the play, Romeo and Juliet's love is impossible; impossible because of the judgement and fights that there is in between the two guys families, no one would had approved the love there was between romeo and juliet, but they didn't care, they only cared that they were truly in love with eachother and that they would be happy together no matter what other people thought about it; the love is theirs.

Song #6
As long as you love me by: Justin Bieber
This song also talks about a forbidden love, a love that cant happen for some reason, and it also talks about breaking the rules. Similarly to romeo and juliet, the song talks about two guys that cannot be together for some reason, in this case the girls dad, but they love each other so much that they are disposed to break the rules as long as they are together. Justin Bieber says in the song "As long as you love me, we could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke and as long as you love me Ill be your platinum, Ill be your silver and Ill be your gold" (Justin Bieber). In this quote Justin Bieber refers that as long as they have each other and love each other, they are all they need, they dont need anyone or anything else, they just need to be together and that way they can get past any difficulty or challenge that comes in their way.

Song #7
Last kiss by: Taylor Swift
This could be a song romeo could dedicate to Juliet when he saw that she was death, when he was about to kill himself. The song talks about how he never imagined that their romance would end like that, he thought it would last forever, how he never thought that they would have a last kiss, and never imagined it would all end like that for them, with their deaths.
