Lyrics From The Song 'Vamps Lovestruck'

Improved Essays
Specific lyrics from the song “Lovestruck”, sung by The Vamps, relates to Scene V of Act I in “Romeo and Juliet” by Shakespeare. From across the room, Romeo spots Juliet and asks a servant about her identity. “What lady’s that which doth enrich the hand / Of yonder knight?” (I.v.28). The servant does not have a clue as to who she is. And from there, Juliet is the only thing on Romeo’s mind and he continues to stare at her from afar. “The measure done, I’ll watch her place of stand” (I.v.29). When the dance is over he watches her to see where she stands. The Vamps sung the lyrics, “It might seem strange / You don’t even know my name / But I’ve been watching you for days”. In the song, the artists sings about gazing at a girl from a distance

    The narrative voices of male characters in several pieces of art, literature, and music are shown sharing their enthusiastic response of endearment to a woman that they love. “Michelle” was a song performed by Sir Paul McCartney in the White House for President Barack Obama and his wife, the song was written by John Lennon. In the song the main male character sings to the woman he loves. He sings to her to tell her how fond he is of her and how a normal “I love you” won’t do the job for how much he loves her. Very much similar to the song is The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare.…
