Shakespeare inspired songs

Shall I compare thee to a Shakespearean play? Of course not, since these songs are by no means on par with the Bard's masterpieces, but still contain references from his works.

What a great idea for a collection! :D (The kind one wishes one would have thought of oneself... ;) )
Looking through the list, I was wondering whether you'd include actual works by Shakespeare set to music, and then I found Sonnet 29. Personally, I prefer Rufus Wainwright's take on it though: https://youtu.be/ngk4sRQ2C-Y

As you probably know, Iron Maiden have a song called "Ides of March" too, but since it's instrumental it's not on LT. :P

I hijacked the collection and added you as a collaborator. Was it Pierre's originally?

Ah, I checked, it was from another user that deleted their account...

This would not qualify somehow,under strict rulles?

I guess "A time for us" lyrics would be an adaptation and Shakespeare is not really there any more, the relation is only through music...
You would have to pull the original lyrics from the movie...

But if you are asked, what melody you most strongly associate with Romeo & Juliet, then unless you are core ballet lover and know Prokofiev
really well, that would be it, right?
