Scenes two and three soundtrack and playlists

http://www.jamendo.com/en/track/501674- Empty Streets At 3AM by Fortadelis- This song would be placed in the beggining of scene two when Paris asks Mr. Capulet for his daughters hand in mariage. The reason i picked this song is because it is a slow song and also the beat it has just king of gives the mood a very serious mood, and i felt a serious mood was necessary because Paris is asking to Marry Juliet. Also i like this song because it wasn't a fast song, so it just made the mood and theme right with the slow pace of the song.

http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/23884- A Day In Da Life ExPerience The Album by Mr Tac a.k.a chocolate- I picked this song to be placed during scene two when the Capulets servant runs into Romeo and Benvolio and asks them if they could help him pass out invatations because he can't read. Romeo and Benvolio say yes, and they just take an invatation for themselves and then don't pass out the rest of the invatations. I picked a song that was a rap song because it would emphasize Romeo and Benvolios Trickery on the Servant.

http://www.jamendo.com/en/track/703364- If I'm Falling by Singleton- This song would be for the very end of scene two, where Romeo is talking to Bonvolio about going to the party. Romeo doesn't want to go to the party, so he is still trying to tell Benvolio about how he is still in love with Rosaline. I picked a song and it talks about falling for someone so I felt that this would fit perfectly into this part of the Play. It fits good into this part of the play because Romeo has fallen for Rosaline and he is just very depressed that she wont have sex wtih him until marriage.

http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/78275- Hope by Kendra Springer- I choose this song for the beggining of scene three, The reason i picked this song was because i felt that is was a very smooth and relaxing type of song. The song would fit well into this part of the scene because it is when the Nurse is talking about how she raised Juliet and how she is like a daughter to her. This is why i picked a slow song because i felt this was a kind of a love embrassing part of the scene discussing about how Juliet was raised by the nurse.

The Nurses playlist
1.All Summer Long by Kid Rock- The Nurse would be listening to All Summer Long because the Nurse would be thinking of how she rased Juliet her whole life, and how she acted as a mother towards her. Also i think sometimes the Nurse still wishes that she got to spend more time with Juliet and this song is a perfect example of that.


2. Love Lockdown by Kayne West- This song would be on the playlist because it talks about how the Nurse Loves Juliet, and the Reason the Nurse loves Juliet is because she raised her and acts like a mother towards her.


3.In Repair by John Mayer- The Nurse would like this song because it talks about being repaired from your heartbreaks and the nurse feels that she is falling away from Juliet because she is turning fourteen and also because someone wants to mary Juliet.

4. Spice Up Your Life by Spice Girls- The Nurse would be listening to this song because now that Juliet is going to go off and get married she needs to find something exciting to do.

5.The Hardest Part by Coldplay- This song represents how the Nurse has to let go of Juliet and this is very hard for her because she acted like a mother to her because she raised Juliet.

6.Thanks For The Memorys by Fall Out Boy- The Nurse would want to listen to this song because she would like to think of the great times she has had with Juliet, and just want to thank her for all the great memories they have had together.


7.Dont matter by Akon- This song would really help the Nurse not be so sad about Juliet leaving, and while she is listening to this song she could be thinking about how she will never forget about Juliet and how much she loves her.


8.Fearless by Taylor Swift- The Nurse would have this song on her playlist because it would help her remember how fearless she is and would do anything for Juliet.

9.Please Dont Go by Mike Posner- This song would just make the Nurse think of how much she wants Juliet to stay at home, and she doesnt want Juliet to run off and get married to Paris or Romeo.

scene one act one EXTRA WORK

http://www.jamendo.com/en/track/167034- El secret del mar by Roger Subirana Mata- I would put this right after the fight scene because it is a slow beat and is just kind of a depressing song. The reason i picked this type of song because after the battle between the Montagues and Capulets it is a time of sadness for many reasons. The reason it is a time of sadness is because this is a third civil out break between the two famalies and also people lost their lives. This is why i think this song is a good fit because it will help capture the moment.

http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/26737- Occidente by Rein- I choose this song to be placed in during the fight scene. I picked this scene because it was a very up beat song and i felt that it would fit into the song very well. The reason i say an up beat song would fit in very well is because the fight is a very intense scene in the play and it is also the opening part of the play, so we have to get the viewer interested with either good acting or even good music that catches their ear. Also the characters fighting are very young and quick, so this is also why we need a very up beat song for this type of scene.

http://www.jamendo.com/en/track/666758- A Simpler World by Fortadelis- This song would fit in where Romeo is really depressed, which would be towards the end of scene one. Even though this song was kind of high pitched, and you may be wondering why I picked this song out of them all, but i felt that the beat of the song gave it a depressed feel. The beat of the song is very slow with high pitched sounds. Another reason why this song would be a good choice is becasuse when Romeo is all sad and depressed i feel that this song could help lift up the overall mood of the play.

Benvolios Playlist

1. Best I Ever Had by Drake- Benvolio would listen to this because he would be so sick of trying to make Romeo happy, he would just want to think of the good times he has had.


2. Catch My Disease by Ben Lee- Benvolio would be listening to this song because he would be wondering why he got stuck with trying to chear up Romeo, and he probably feels that it is impossible to chear up Romeo.


3. Dangerous by Kardinal Offishall- This song would be on his playlist describiing how hard and dangerous it is to make someone happy, who is determined that they lost the love of their life. The reason it is dangerous is because he doesn't want to say something that will make Romeo even sadder than he is.


4.Evacuate The DanceFloor byCascada- Benvolio would  need to listen to this song just to clear his head of all his thoughts because he would be so sick of trying to make Romeo feel better. This is why he just needs to listen to a quick and up beat song, that would help him get his mind off of everything.


5. Got Your Back by T.I.- Benvolio would listen to this song thinking that he has Romeos back and will do anyhting to make him happy, that is why he wanted Romeo to go to the party, so he could find a new girl.


6.How To Save A Life by The Fray- Benvolio would feel this song is a good song to listen to because he would help save his friend by either helping him find a women to love or just helping him have a good time.


7.I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas- Benvolio would be listening to this song because he would just need to get his mind off of everything about Romeo and this song would help greatly. This song would help with this because it is a great song and his thoughts would go elsewhere.

Second half of scene one for Romeos heart break with Rosaline and also his playlist

http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/65747- This song is called Our Moon by Roger Subirana Mata. I choose this song for the second part of scene one when Romeo is deeply depressed about his love Rosaline. This song is very soothing and i feel it would help relax Romeo when he is all worked up about Rosaline who told him she wants to be a virgin. This song also is very romantic and maybe it could help Romeo think about all the good times he had with Rosaline and he could consider waiting until mariage to have sex, but we all know that doesn't happen.
http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/9986 - This song is called The jazz farm by Oprachina. The reason i picked this song was because it reminded me of how Romeo was all sad and droopy and never really wanted to do anthing. The song is a slow jazz song that is very relaxing but also just set a tone of being depressed, so that is why i picked this song, because it reminded of how Romeo was acting.
http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/25297- This song is called Stories from Midnight Streets by Somewhere off Jazz Street. I choose this song to be put into the play towards the end of scene one act one because Romeo is still mourning the heart break of his lover Rosaline. This song would fit well into this part of the play because it is a slow and kind of relaxing song, so it would really express how sad Romeo is feeling. Also it would be a good fit into this part of the play is because while Romeo is mourning his love everyone else is still depressed/shocked about the battle the just occured between the two rival famalies, so this would set the tone for the rest of the scene.

Romeos Playlist (continued)
1. Teardrops on My Guitar- This song represents how much pain and sorrow Romeo has been through, so maybe this song would help Romeo just let out all his feeling and eventually just get over Rosaline.


2. All I do Is Dream Of You By Michael Buble- Romeo would be listening to this song because during Rosalines heart break Romeo would be so sad about Rosaline and thinking about her constantly, he probably actually did dream about her wishing he could be with her.


3. Baby by Justin beiber- Romeo would be listening to this song because all he wants is to have his girlfriend back and i feel that this song would really help him realize how much he loves Rosaline.



4. Be With You by Akon- This song describes how Romeo would always be there for her and would pretty much do anything to be with Roslaine, but the funny thing is that while Romeo is so sad about this he finds a person who he loves much more and kills himself for.


5. Good Life by Kayne West- This song Romeo could listen to is because when Bonvolio is trying to tell him her doesn't need a girl and that is very true. If Romeo didn't have a girl he could just relax with the guys and this would describe how could of a life he could have and get Romeos mind off of Rosaline.


6. You're Beutiful By James Blunt- He would listen to this song because it would help Romeo remember how beautiful Rosaline and just how much she means to him.


7.Rehab by Amy Winehouse- This song would be on Romeos ipod because this song would maybe help him realize that he needs seriour help becuause he is making this event a much bigger thing than it really is, because there will be many more people in the world for Romeo to fall inlove with.


8.Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis- This song would help Romeo feel that he loves Rosaline and maybe someday in the future they wil be together if they are really destined for one another.

First half of scene one sound track for the fight scene, and also what is on Romeo's ipod. Week 2

http://www.jamendo.com/en/track/658940 - This song is called The signal (CWF remix) by BertycoX. The reason i chose this song was because in the begginning of scene one there is an intense fight scene between the Capulets and the Montagues and this song isn't very dramatic, but i thought it fit well into the fight scene fofr many reasons. One of the reasons i liked this song was because it was very up beat and i thought it would make the fight very exciting. Also another reason i chose the song was because it had no words so you can focus in on the fight while you are listening to an up beat song.

http://www.jamendo.com/en/track/159036- This song is called Discorde by Krusty. This song was another one I liked for the fight scene. It sounds kind of similar, but i feel like this song would fit better if we are trying to embrease an intense fight scene. The beats in this song are a bit slower therefor making the fight scene more realistic, in my opinion The song is not very long but, we could just keep repeating it because it flows very well and the beat gets started right away.
Romeos Playlist for scene one
1.Forget You by Cee Lo Green- This song could maybe help Romeo reakize he needs to forget about Rosaline
2.Forever by Chris Brown- This could maybe realize that he wants Rosaline and can wait until marriage.
3. Girls Just Want To Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper- This could help Romeo realize he doesnt need a girl and should just have fun with his guy friends.
4 The book of love by Peter Gabriel- This song would remind Romeo why he loves Rosaline so much and why he wants to be with her.
5. Into the Ocean by Blue October- Romeo would listen to this song because is a song that would describe how Romeo feels.
6.Confessions by Usher - This song would tell romeo he cant live with out Rosaline and he needs her in his life.
7.Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry- I Picked this song because Romeo needs to realize that he needs to savor every moment of his life no matter who it is with.
8.Hate That I Love You by Riana - Romeo would have this on his ipod because he would wish he never loved Rosaline, but there is just something about her for why he loves her so much.
9. I'm A Believer by Smash Moouth- Romeo would also listen to this song because it describes how hes in love, but there seems like no use in trying because all he gets is pain.

What i plan to do, want to do, and why i chose the job soundtrack... WEEK 1

While we are producing the epic play of Romeo and Juliet i choose to be the job soundtracks for  many reasons. You may think i chose this job because it sounds easy, but really i wanted to do this job for my love in music. Another great reason why i wanted to do this job was because i will get to work with one of my bestfriends and we work very well together. What i plan to do over the next six weeks is to find songs that will fit perfectly into the play and will make the fighting scenes more dramatic then they are and embrase the love scenes making them very romantic. From week to week i will be filing you in on what songs are on Romeo's and Juliet's ipods, what type of songs Romeo and Juliet are into, and also be finding songs to make the video of this epic play spectacular. My goal for this project is to keep my blog updated, fun to read , and filled with a lot of songs that help put emphasise on the play and also songs that everyone will hopefully like. Also i will not let my classmates down from south or vanmeter by keeping an updated blog every week and having the information that is needed on my blog. I am very excited that i have the opportunity to participate in this play because if seems very fun, i will learn a lot about shakspear, and lastly if i do everything i am asked to do i can maintain a good grade in English class.
