I'll be the first to admit that most of the selections for the iTunes' Free Single of the Week are rather disappointing, but the four songs that I have selected for this week were pleasant little surprises!!!
*****************************************************
It appears that this was also a 2008 release on iTunes. Whoever that person was at iTunes who was discovering all of these bands back in 2008, they need to be re-instated into their position because it has been awhile since I have been even slightly impressed with any of the iTunes offerings.
Regardless, any time I hear or see the name Juliet, it should not surprise you at all that, as a literature teacher, I automatically assume that is has something to do with Shakespeare's masterpiece. Although the lyrics did not reference Shakespeare's work, the video has a "Romeo & Juliet"-type feel to it.
In fact, here is a bit of info about this video taken from Wikipedia:
"The video was directed by Alan Ferguson. It portrays Travis (lead singer) as Romeo 'tossing rocks' at Juliet's window. Juliet's parents do not approve of Juliet's relationship with Travis 'Romeo' and therefore order Juliet to stay away from him. The video ends with Juliet sneaking out to see Travis perform at a house party."

Check yes Juliet
Are you with me
Rain is falling down on the sidewalk
I won't go until you come outside
Check yes Juliet kill the limbo
I'll keep tossing rocks at your window
There's no turning back for us tonight
[Chorus:]
Lace up your shoes
A O A O O
Here's how we do
Run baby run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart if you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run, forever will be
You and me
Check yes Juliet
I'll be waiting
Wishing wanting yours for the taking
Just sneak out and don't tell a soul goodbye
Check yes Juliet
Here's the countdown:
3,2,1 now fall in my arms now
They can change the locks,
don't let them change your mind
[Chorus]
Lace up your shoes
A O A O O
Here's how we do
Run baby run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart if you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run, forever will be
You and me
We're flying through the night
We're flying through the night
Way up high
The view from here is getting better with you
By my side
Run baby run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart if you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run, forever will be
Run baby run, don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart if you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run, forever will be
You and me
You and me
