Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac

“Loving you / Isn’t the right thing to do / But how can I ever change things that I feel?”

Why It Connects:
Why I Picked It:
This song reminds me of Juliet when she’s torn between loyalty to her family and love for Romeo in Act I, Scene 5. She can’t help how she feels, even though she knows it’s going to end badly. It also makes me think of Act 3, Scene 5, when she tells Romeo to go and it breaks her heart.

And all the times you wasn't chosen, well, I'll make it up to you
All of the feelings you're not showing
When your river's overflowing, mmm
It's the truth, swear to you
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

And all that you are, I do
My single line of stars in noon
Reflection of the very moon, I do
I do, I do, I do

Show my love for you
Can I show my love for you?
(Can I show my love for you?)

Oh, my angel (oh, my angel, oh, my angel, oh, my angel, oh, my angel)
This fire in my heart (oh, my angel, oh, my angel, oh, my angel, oh, my angel)
Consumes my happiness (oh, my angel, oh, my angel, oh, my angel, oh, my angel)
Since we are apart

I have nothing to hope for
I have nothing to cling to
Life for me has no meaning, darling
If I have to live it without you

Oh, my angel
Come back to me
And I will love you
'Til eternity

Oh, my angel

This song connects because this is how Romeo felt when he went to see Juliet at the Capulets house.

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The one that got away

I'm falling for you like dominoes
From the top of the hundredth floor
Look out below Geronimo
Tryin' to get behind the closed doors to your soul
Why'd you have to end the show
We had such a beautiful plot
There was still more story to go
Now look, I'm not insinuating that
You're some type of fair weather player
But even if the whole world falls over
I wouldn't be aware of a glacier
I just wanna see you wake up
Doing your hair in the mirror with your makeup
Then, maybe in the next lifetime we could make up

Why does it connect: It connects because Juliet shows a love so consuming and powerful that it defies boundaries, much like the emotions expressed in Juice WRLD's lyrics. Both portray love as deeply emotional, tragically fleeting, and, at times, overwhelming to the point of heartbreak.

I can't breathe (Chopsquad), I can't breathe, 999
Waiting for the exhale
I toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well

I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale
Toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well
Still no luck, but oh, well
I still try even though I know I'm gon' fail
Stress on my shoulders like a anvil
Perky got me itching like a anthill
Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill
Sometimes I don't know how to feel

Ring-ring, phone call from depression
You used my past and my memories as a weapon
On the other line, I talk to addiction, huh
Speaking of the devil, all the drugs, I miss them

This can't be real, is it fiction?
Somethin' feels broke, need to fix it
I cry out for help, do they listen?
I'ma be alone until it's finished

This is the part where I tell you I'm fine, but I'm lyin'
I just don't want you to worry
This is the part where I take all my feelings and hide 'em
'Cause I don't want nobody to hurt me

This Connects to me because Adele is saying send her love to the new girlfriend that her ex has also that he needs to treat his new girlfriend better than he treats Adele.

I Picked this because another line that Adele says in her song is "You set me free" and Romeo makes Juliet feel free and at ease.

The theme that it fits is the Balcony Scene.

this relates because it shows how devastated Juliet felt when Romeo was banished

I picked this song because it talks about how even though there are reasons why you shouldn't be with this person, your heart wants them anyway, just like how Juliet shouldn't have been with Romeo because of the feud but loved him anyway.

Don't tell me that your love is gone
That your love is gone

Don't tell me that your love is gone
That your love is gone

That your love is gone

I know this isn't easy (easy)

That your love is gone"

This show how Juliet felt when romeo died moments before she awoken from her sleep.
