Romeo + Juliet soundtrack

Stars (out of 5): 4

This song, every time I hear it, takes me back to 9th grade when I saw Romeo and Juliet starring Leonardo Dicaprio and Claire Dances in the theatre. I was immediately obsessed with that movie and still love it so much. I must have watched the VHS copy my brother gave me until it wore out and now I own the special edition on DVD. But this isn't a movie review site so, the music:

I think this song works because it sounds like there is obsessive passion being held back but is just about to break free. It does break free about a third of the way through the song and you can hear it in Shirley Manson's voice. She get's that slight tone of desparation and emotive wailing and it takes what was, at first, an almost pledge of allegiance, and turns into complete passion and desparation.

It's totally hott. (And so is Leonardo Dicaprio!)


I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine

I will cry for you
I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear

I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time I am talking
You will believe in me
And I will never be ignored

I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
I'll tear it apart

I will lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see
You're just like me

Violate all my love that I'm missing
Throw away all the pain that I'm living
You will believe in me
And I can never be ignored

I would die for you
I would kill for you
I will steal for you
I'd do time for you
I would wait for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sail ships for you
To be close to you
To be a part of you
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you
