Tom Odell — Another Love (Zwette Remix Radio Edit)
Why I choose this song
The Original song written by Tom Odell is a beautiful song that represents this scene. I chose this because it appeals to Romeo and the fact that he has found another love in Juliet and there love is real. Also towards the fact that Romeo has shed tears to many for Rosaline. Also Romeo and Juliet want to be together but Romeo also wants to kiss Juliet and make sure she is alright get to know her. Romeo ad Juliet want to love.
