I love the 1986 version way better than 1996 version cause the latest version makes no sense cause it is in modern day but they are speaking Elizabethan English
This is one of those songs that doesn't need words to show the strong emotion, maybe even stronger than a song with them. The music itself replaces the words with pure passion.
Amazing soundtrack....I believe that Romeo and Juliet compose the couple of the one and only real love ever....Their love was and will be the only true love in our world!
Seriously I don't get how people can claim that the love between romeo and juliet was true love. they never once sit down and have a meaningful conversation, all they really care about is each others physical appearance. It's not a tale about true love, it's essentially Shakespeare's warning about how the impulsiveness and shallowness of young "love" can lead to tragedy. They never once admire the eachother's personality.
@sunset261 its obviously not a "warning" but you can't say that they didn't know each others personality, seriously, after reading it, how ca you say that?
@gaspar30 Because they didn't! All they ever cared about in each other was good looks. They never once commented on eachother's personality. If shakespeare was trying to make a "love endures all" story he wouldn't have made the main characters so effing shallow.
so true what you write sunset. But in present day situations... it is also about lack of commitment to each other. People tend to "just give up" all too easily. So, Romeo & Juliet works in more than one way...
@hyperhavoc5 I know that. To me it seems more as saying that because of the shallow and impulsive nature of the two characters, their deaths were fated to happen.
It takes a lifetime to understand someone's personality. Maybe Romeo and Juliet would end just fine if they all waited till they are 35? Maybe along the way they "experimented" with different lifestyles and different people and then fall in love based on personality.......THAT would be a great story about TRUE "love". Right?
Hey, at least there would be no suicides... just divorce lawyers and baggage.
Regardless of all the sterile truths our literature majors pose- The actual truth of Romeo and Juliett is not the impetuosity of people, particularly youthful people,- but that love is bold- and that young love is as strong as it is bold.
@otmund513 Is it an oboe? I thought it sounded like one, but I wasn't sure...... I've only started working with one, so I'm not very attuned to the sound yet =/
Romeo met Juliet... She was so beautifully lush and slim and his perfect woman, then, many years passed and Juliet became fat around the arse and her tits drooped and then she nagged poor Romeo to an early death.... Such is the way of the real world !! LOL
I ♥ this song. It fits the theme of Romeo & Juliet PERFECTLY. And although the story of Romeo & Juliet is really a tragedy, I think it falls in the category of romance, because it represents the eternal bliss of young youth and true love. Anyway, AWESOME SONG!!!! =D
Can't we all just sit back, relax, and just ignore if this is a love story or not? And just read the great literature that is Shakespeare. Don't argue about it. Just listen to the words.
LOL i never knew that people think "Romeo and Juliet" as a lame non-romance novel. I don't remember the details of the movie (I never read the book) cuz I was too young. All I know is that I just absolutely loved this melody ever since when I was a kid.
whoa.. I was listening to some other song, then clicked on this and totally forgot what I was thinking about... So incredibly beautiful.. gave me shivers
@xenelith I agree. It's sad that they're such an iconic figurehead and they've been misinterpreted to be the poster couple for whirlwind romance. All of Shakespeare's plays were satirical, even, and especially, the tragedies. All his plays blatantly publicized human folly. And Romeo and Juliet emphasized the outright foolishness and brashness of youthful naivete.That is not to say that it isn't a beautiful, tragic, and well written piece, but the angle of thetragedy is so AWFULLY misinterpreted.
@homicidalPEACH Yeah, well, stranger things have happened. Take Wuthering Heights for example. WTH do people say Wuthering Heights is a "great" romance? Honestly? Ruining the lives of everyone around you (including your own *son*) because you were too much of a coward to try to win Catherine back is very romantic? Ha. I don't think people actually read the books. ;P
We're reading it now in our English class at school. It's a good story, but it really makes young love look petty and blind, simple. I have to disagree there. But I understand why people may think it is.
@RDBrilliance your an idiot. its a tragedy play that shows the power of fate and impulse. though it was young love, it was true. they only knew each other for a few days, but in that time, i think romeo and juliet have taken actions that only show true love
@efatnas12 Well, I disagree with you, entirely. Shakespeare was CLEARLY being sarcastic. He voices his sarcasm through Mercutio. Even he makes fun of Romeo for being blind.
Romeo claimed he was in love with Rosaline, he said that he'd DIE for her. And then he pretty much forgets she ever existed after seeing a 'prettier' girl. That's obvious because he only ever talks about Juliets physical features. So they kill each other for 'love', it's overdramatisised.
um...no, not really. I understand that in Shakespeare's time, people did marry very young, but to my modern eyes, Romeo and Juliet seem far too young to know anything about love at all. And they barely knew each other. It's a well written play and a very well put together movie, but the story just doesn't do it for me. Sorry. :)
I don't think that it's a matter of modern or classic here cause love is eternal. The thing that matters is that their love(or instinctual feelings) was real. The way they are weak in front of those feelings alltough having family bounderies is so pure and beautiful.
Wow, there are a lot of people who seriously know nothing about literature. Romeo and Juliet isn't a love story; we're not supposed to admire the title characters. Romeo was "in love" with Rosalind a second before he saw Juliet across the room at a party. And they needlessly died because they made instant assumptions about each other without thinking things through. It's a story about the impetuosity of people, particularly youthful people, and the harm that can result from this.
@shinglebob1 this story is not a warning. it's an example of something that not a lot of people see in their life- it gives people the privilege of seeing what undying love is. romeo may have seemed like a player, and juliet too young, but they were right for each other. maybe there is a warning after all. true love is a precious and rare thing, it doesnt last long.
@shinglebob1 settle down there- your analysis isnt the law. i can have my own (optimistic) opinion. you can be proud of yourself for picking up on the character flaws most freshmen english classes study, but you're missing the point of the story and coming across as someone who's been burned by love. sorry about that.
and this song doesnt have to do with any of this. its simply beautiful. just enjoy it- you might even relax a little?
@SultanaLotus I see what you mean and I agree. True love is very precious and if you happen to have it, make the most of it while you are here. However, I do believe that true love can last when we treasure it deep down in our heart and soul.
@shinglebob1 I disagree. It's true if you want to view it from a depressing standpoint but i prefer to look at it like you're taking a leap of faith and it is about giving your all in to nothingness which is something we lose as we grow up and become bitter.
To me, romeo and juliet is a story about love at first sight and holding on to that feeling for all it's worth.
@MorganFawnvern Then you are ingnoring a lot of the play's details. For example, at the end, when Romeo assumes Juliet to be dead, he doesn't make any effort to confirm that she is actually dead or think over his options. He immdediately kills himself, and it turns out she's not even dead! Or how about when Romeon kills Tybalt after Tybalt kills Mercutio. First of all, Mercutio chose to fight in a duel--and obviously killing Tybalt made things much worse for Romeo and for Juliet. If he...
@MorganFawnvern had not been so impulsive, he would have realized that. The most important theme that Shakespeare is trying to portray is that of impulsiveness and impetuosity. You can disagree if you want to, but you're wrong.
@shinglebob1 u r wrong.. rome is not in love with rosalind.. his love to her is cursorily, narcisstic and replaced by real love to julia, in which he has outgrow abouth his own ...
@shinglebob1 i agree with you also but think of it this way though. Roslind didn't love him back, juliet did. So they're would have been no reason for him to have to get over her. And also he killed himself for her, so they're had to have been more love then, was lead on.
@shinglebob1 To me, Romeo and Juliet isn't about love or romance, It's about lust. How so quickly they we're drawn to each other. They saw something in each other and would stop at nothing until they reach the point of satisfaction. It wasn't the love that killed them. It was the lust, the greed to find what they had thought was missing in life, adventure, and rebellion.
@UntilTheSunRises yes but, they truly did love eachother, and they knew that their love was forbidden from their families so they went to extreme measures to save themselves from not being able to be completely together in this world....it is a tragedy but back in Shakespeare's day, youth did not commit suicide over boyfriends and girlfriends like today's kids. I feel I understand the story on this level because my love and I and experiencing the same tragic story..love conquers always
@shinglebob1 yeah you are right--but you gotta remember the times--14 yrs old was the age to marry--life span wasn't too long--then there were no social networking sites so people could figure out if they were compatible--and if you think about it so many people become involved with people that they meet in bars or other types of that venue, and what do they have in common--not too much for a long lasting relationship, or
Je le suis depuis des années, je me remplis les poches jours après jours, au malheur des autres .... Pensez au couple qui se dispute puis se trompe, avant de divorcer ... c'est ça l'amour pour vous ? :)
wat are u saying romeo and juliet is the worlds most beautiful love story ever and this song fits it perfectly. maybe ur just not romantic or w.e but it is an amazing nd pasionate story...nd i dont just luv it kuz my name is Juliet- which is by the way such a gorgeous name **lol
it was a tragedy do to a romance. how they sacrificed their lives for each other is really inbrasing the whole ramantic theme even tho it was sad. and most ppl agree that this song fits it but w.e everybody is intiteled 2 deir opinion
the reason why there was tragedy was because they were in love and their families wouldn't allow them to be together. so by committing suicide its like stating their love for each other and that they couldn't live without the other.
They commit suicide, as they are so madly and deeply in love that when Romeo finds Juliet "dead" (although she has drank friar Lawrences potion to give her the apperance of death, and is not really dead) he cannot imagine living without her, as his whole world revolves around her. The same happens to Juliet when she wakes and finds Romeos body next to her. Her life is unbearable with Romeo, her true love.
And you call that love. I call it madness. Think of it this way. If romeo didnt let his emotions get in the way, the story would have ended happily. But alas Romeo was emotional and killed himself right away. Real love is when u give up your life for someone. Romeo gave up his life because he thought HE wanted Juliet not because he loved her.
Peraadanafue.......Beautiful, to beautiful for any human mouth to discribe, hard to belive that a human actually wrote it. Almost anyone can play notes on an instrument, but it takes a genius to play words from an instument. Genius. I love you Juliet, thats what it says, the instrument cries heses words in a beautiful and so melodic and harmonic. It is to great to comprehend how to put this to words, but some instruments do, and though i have never seen it, hopefully a human might someday! :)
Oh this is just simply beautiful. It reminds me of little Imelda who sadly passed away when she was 8 years old following a chronic asthma attack. I would dearly love to find the version used by BBC Radio 1's Simon Bates as his backing for Our Tune though.
If ever a proof was needed that we can transcend the mortal coil, and allow our spirit to soar amongst the stars, and commune with God, this is it. That is where Imelda is, I know it. Look up, see, just over there
There is such a thing as deep and abiding love at first sight.

To me, romeo and juliet is a story about love at first sight and holding on to that feeling for all it's worth.

@MorganFawnvern Then you are ingnoring a lot of the play's details. For example, at the end, when Romeo assumes Juliet to be dead, he doesn't make any effort to confirm that she is actually dead or think over his options. He immdediately kills himself, and it turns out she's not even dead! Or how about when Romeon kills Tybalt after Tybalt kills Mercutio. First of all, Mercutio chose to fight in a duel--and obviously killing Tybalt made things much worse for Romeo and for Juliet. If he...

@MorganFawnvern had not been so impulsive, he would have realized that. The most important theme that Shakespeare is trying to portray is that of impulsiveness and impetuosity. You can disagree if you want to, but you're wrong.

@shinglebob1 u r wrong.. rome is not in love with rosalind.. his love to her is cursorily, narcisstic and replaced by real love to julia, in which he has outgrow abouth his own ...

@shinglebob1 i agree with you also but think of it this way though. Roslind didn't love him back, juliet did. So they're would have been no reason for him to have to get over her. And also he killed himself for her, so they're had to have been more love then, was lead on.

@shinglebob1 To me, Romeo and Juliet isn't about love or romance, It's about lust. How so quickly they we're drawn to each other. They saw something in each other and would stop at nothing until they reach the point of satisfaction. It wasn't the love that killed them. It was the lust, the greed to find what they had thought was missing in life, adventure, and rebellion.

@UntilTheSunRises yes but, they truly did love eachother, and they knew that their love was forbidden from their families so they went to extreme measures to save themselves from not being able to be completely together in this world....it is a tragedy but back in Shakespeare's day, youth did not commit suicide over boyfriends and girlfriends like today's kids. I feel I understand the story on this level because my love and I and experiencing the same tragic story..love conquers always

In islamic world it is still prevailing culture, that a woman cannot marry non-islamic man. Thta has to stop.
Today's Romeos and Juliets still lack that prviviledge.
BTW: search for Romeo & Juliet in Sarajevo.
Jyrki1964 9 months ago
@shinglebob1 yeah you are right--but you gotta remember the times--14 yrs old was the age to marry--life span wasn't too long--then there were no social networking sites so people could figure out if they were compatible--and if you think about it so many people become involved with people that they meet in bars or other types of that venue, and what do they have in common--not too much for a long lasting relationship, or

How is two couples commiting suicide romantic? The play was supposed to be a tragedy not a romance...
cowsaymoo2x 2 years ago
it was a tragedy do to a romance. how they sacrificed their lives for each other is really inbrasing the whole ramantic theme even tho it was sad. and most ppl agree that this song fits it but w.e everybody is intiteled 2 deir opinion
juliecrespo29 2 years ago
the reason why there was tragedy was because they were in love and their families wouldn't allow them to be together. so by committing suicide its like stating their love for each other and that they couldn't live without the other.
allyproject 2 years ago 2
Either way thats not love just more like dependency on each other. .
cowsaymoo2x 2 years ago
They commit suicide, as they are so madly and deeply in love that when Romeo finds Juliet "dead" (although she has drank friar Lawrences potion to give her the apperance of death, and is not really dead) he cannot imagine living without her, as his whole world revolves around her. The same happens to Juliet when she wakes and finds Romeos body next to her. Her life is unbearable with Romeo, her true love.
eilidhl93 2 years ago 3
And you call that love. I call it madness. Think of it this way. If romeo didnt let his emotions get in the way, the story would have ended happily. But alas Romeo was emotional and killed himself right away. Real love is when u give up your life for someone. Romeo gave up his life because he thought HE wanted Juliet not because he loved her.

Peraadanafue.......Beautiful, to beautiful for any human mouth to discribe, hard to belive that a human actually wrote it. Almost anyone can play notes on an instrument, but it takes a genius to play words from an instument. Genius. I love you Juliet, thats what it says, the instrument cries heses words in a beautiful and so melodic and harmonic. It is to great to comprehend how to put this to words, but some instruments do, and though i have never seen it, hopefully a human might someday! :)

Oh this is just simply beautiful. It reminds me of little Imelda who sadly passed away when she was 8 years old following a chronic asthma attack. I would dearly love to find the version used by BBC Radio 1's Simon Bates as his backing for Our Tune though.

If ever a proof was needed that we can transcend the mortal coil, and allow our spirit to soar amongst the stars, and commune with God, this is it. That is where Imelda is, I know it. Look up, see, just over there
