- “Bad Blood” by I chose “Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift because, like the play, the song is about a long rivalry. In the
Taylor Swift video, Taylor Swift recruits several of her friends to fight for her side, while her rival does the same.
Act One, Scene In the play, Sampson and Gregory discuss how the quarrel is between their masters and their men as
One well. In the song lyrics, the line that best supports this is “Still got scars on my back from your knife
So don't think it's in the past
These kind of wounds they last and they last”

I chose this song because like the song says, it’s about two people that met and that in that night they
“The Night We Met” fell in love. And it’s about a man singing about how he wishes to go back to the night he met his
Act Two, Scene by love. A line that supports this story is “I had all and then most of you some and now none of you”
Two Lord Huron that could represent how when Juliet faked her death and Romeo believed it, and he felt like his life
was not worth living anymore without her. And how he had her with him and suddenly nothing at
all.

I chose this song, specifically this cover because it’s more dramatic and emotional than the original.
The song is basically about the actual play and it has Romeo and Juliet in the lyrics, and I feel like it
represents the part that they first met but they have to say goodbye from the party because they

Two Sarah Cothran knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said ‘Marry me Juliet, you 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…”

“Bohemian Rhapsody” I chose this song because for me it interprets the part when Tybalt kills Mercutio and then Romeo
Act Three, Scene by Queen kills Tybalt. All of it because of rivalry, and trying to get peace. “Mama, just killed a man,
One Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead” (they didn’t use a gun of course, but it
 represents the killing).

“Haven't had a dream in a long time

“Please, Please, Please See, the life I've had can make a good man bad”
Act Two, Scene Let Me Get What I I chose this song because for me it represents how the life of Romeo would make people mad,
Six Want” by The Smiths because Romeo and Juliet are from different houses and it’s ‘wrong’, which would make ‘a good
man bad’. “See, the luck I've had can make a good man turn bad” because of romeo’s luck and good
life by discovering Juliet.
