7. "All Over You" by: The Spill Canvas

    This song expresses some of the same ideas expressed in "Romeo and Juliet".  The following lyrics illustrate this:

"Just dress me up in what you want me to be

I'll take back what I've been saying for quite some time now"

    Just like how Romeo tells Juliet he will change his name if it displeases her, the artists says he will be anything for his love.  Both guys feel that they have no identity and no self without this other person so they are willing to change into whatever the girl wants and or needs them to be, as long as they can be together.  They even offer to change their viewpoints.  While the artist offers to take back things he might have said, Romeo changes his opinion on the Capulet family completely.

    The desperation in the singers voice also relates to Romeo and Juliet.  The whole song, he is begging for the love of the girl.  Romeo and Juliet's entire relationship is characterized by longing and desperation to be together.  The tone of the music matches how they must have felt when waiting for each other.
