Romeo and Juliet: Soundtrack
By: Casey Miller and Noelle Bartley

Act I
Characterization: Romeo's Mood The song Dreaming With A Broken Heart by John Mayer.
 * Lyrics such as "No she's not, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone...." describe how Romeo feels about Rosaline.
 * Along with, "When you're dreaming with a broken heart the giving up is the hardest part" shows the lovesickness Romeo has and how it fits his beginning characterization and mood.

Act II
Theme The song "If I Fell" by The Beatles Would you promise to be true And help me understand 'cause I've been in love before And I found that love was more Than just holding hands" shows the theme of Act II by showing the sudden love between Romeo and Juliet. Don't hurt my pride like her 'cause I couldn't stand the pain And I would be sad if our new love was in vain" describes the love once again.
 * "If I fell in love with you
 * Romeo had loved before, and now has feelings for Juliet and hopes she would love him back. It's a connection on a new level for both.
 * "If I love you too, oh please

Act III
Conflict: Man versus Man The song "This is War" by 30 Seconds to Mars The moment to live and the moment to die The moment to fight, the moment to fight, to fight, to fight, to fight" fits the conflict scene when there is fighting between Mercutio, Tybalt and Romeo. We will fight to the death To the Edge of the Earth It's a brave new world from the last to the first" describes the death bestowed upon Mercutio and Tybalt. And the banishment of Romeo.
 * "It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie
 * "To the right, to the left

Act IV
Foreshadowing The song "Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low I'll go wherever you will go" suits the foreshadowing that Romeo would follow Juliet anywhere, even death. Run away with my hope Run away with my love" is another foreshadowing of their undying love.
 * "If I could, then I would
 * "Run away with my heart

Act V
Mood The song "All the Faint Lights" by Steve Moakler. And the poisons will decorate it I wanna know love I wanna be where you are" becomes the meaning for the mood by pointing out the fact Romeo kills himself with poison. They left me stranded and lost Reaching through empty pockets trying to pay my cost I put up a fight But now it's taking its toll I'm waiting for something to set fire Wake up my soul" is another example.
 * "Our hearts are all barricaded
 * The entire song itself is quite sad. Any lyrics can suit this melancholy mood.
 * "Cause all the faint lights
