Romeo & Juliet

About Romeo & Juliet

“Romeo & Juliet” is Hobo Johnson’s ode to divorce and the effect it has on families, especially children. The lyrics are largely inspired by the divorce of his parents, which he mentions in the last verse. The title is the same as William Shakespeare’s 1595 play Romeo and Juliet, a tale of forbidden love that ends with more death and despair than happiness. Frank uses the play as the inspiration for the chorus and second verse, stretching out his own alternate ending to further get his point across. .
