our fingertips across my skin The palm trees swaying in the wind Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies The sweetest sadness in your eyes Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street You took my hand and danced with me Images

And when you left you kissed my lips You told me you would never let forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean I cannot drive the streets at night I cannot wake up in the morning Without you on my mind So you're gone and I'm haunted And I bet you are just fine Did I make it that easy To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do

I saw you spiraling I saw you spinning back in time through all your memories such a quiet disease you had forgotten me but I'll always remember you dancing across the kitchen in your orange handkerchief such a quiet disease

I pray that when you dream you would remember everything you know it all comes back to you in one conscience dream maybe you'd sing and put words to all the things that you think of in a day but forgotten how to say

nothing last forever not even the mountains someday they will be swept away and swallowed by the sea we all shall be blessedly released

life is so precious it's as fragile as a dream and in a moment we all grow our wings I wish to sing as if no ones listening I wish to dance as if no one is watching I wish to dance as if no one is watching and I, give thanks for my dreams you can rob me of my sight and you can poison my blood stream but as long as I can dream then life is worth living

nothing last forever not even the mountains someday they will be swept away and swallowed by the sea we all shall be blessedly released

nothing last forever not even the sun for all we know it could have burned out light years ago darkness remains the hardest thing for us to outrun

Explanation: The reason i chose this song was because in the first stanza he talks about seeing her and all the memories they had that she forgot when she just left him. The first stanza really made me think of hamlet becuase i feel like that if hamlet would have been able to say anything he would have said somthing like that..."Dont you remember the memories". Then he goes in the song saying how nothing last forever and i feel like that is exactly how hamlet feels right now because he gets screwed over with every girl, his father died and his mother has basically forgotten him and he feels like nothing in life really last forever not even love or the mountains.

"Just Breathe" Pearl Jam

Yes I understand That every life must end As we sit alone I know someday we must go

Oh I'm a lucky man To count on both hands The ones I love Some folks just have one Yeah others they got none

Stay with me Let's just breathe

Practiced on our sins Never gonna let me win Under everything Just another human being

I don't want to hurt There's so much in this world to make me believe

Stay with me All I see

Did I say that I need you? Did I say that I want you? What if I did and I'm a fool you see No one knows this more than me 'cause I come clean

I wonder everyday As I look upon your face Everything you gave And nothing you would take Nothing you would take Everything you gave

Did I say that I need you? Did I say that I want you? What if I did and I'm a fool you see No one knows this more than me I come clean

Nothing you would take Everything you gave Hold me till I die Meet you on the other side



"We're So Far Away" by Mae Abby Samples

Remembering, everything, about my world and when you came. Wondering, the change you’d bring, means nothing else would be the same. Did you know, what you were doing, did you know. Did you know how you would move me well, I don’t really think so. but the night came down and swept us away. and the stars they seemed, to paint the most elaborate scene today.

How could we know? that song, this show, we'd learn so much about ourselves. From Toledo, to Tokyo, the words were scribed on every page, and now there’s books up on our shelves. Did you know how you would move us, did you know? When the lights first came upon us, and we saw The Everglow. and the moment's magic swept us away. and the young mans dream was almost seen so plain.

When was the night that showed us the sign? Revealed in the sky, to leave all behind. But where to begin? throwing caution to the wind, We reached for the stars, everything was now ours.

Did you know how you would move me, did you know? Did you know how you would move me? well, I don’t even think so. but the moment's magic swept us away. and it’s so close, but we’re so far away. It’s so close, but we’re so far away.


 * This song correlates with Hamlet and Ophelia's break up because it shows that they once had everything and then it just disappeared. "Did you know how you would move me," is like Hamlet questioning if Ophelia knew all that she had done for him. This is a song about a couple that was once together and happy but had to depart.

What Hurts The Most

media type="file" key="Rascal Flatts - What Hurts the Most(good version).mp3" width="240" height="20"

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house That don't bother me I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while Even though going on with you gone still upsets me There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most Was being so close And having so much to say And watching you walk away And never knowing What could have been And not seeing that loving you Is what I was tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go But I'm doin' It It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone Still Harder Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret But I know if I could do it over I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart That I left unspoken

What hurts the most Is being so close And having so much to say And watching you walk away And never knowing What could have been And not seeing that loving you Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most Is being so close And having so much to say And watching you walk away And never knowing What could have been And not seeing that loving you Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you That's what I was trying to do Ooohhh....

The first section of the song relates to Hamlet because Hamlet can handle small problems and conflicts, but that is not the problem. The chorus highly relates to Hamlet. Hamlet has to watch Ophelia leave him, and he has so much he wants to say to her but is unable to say anything. The song describes Hamlet trying to live with stilll seeing Ophelia but how difficult seeing her has been. Hamlet wants her to know he loves Ophelia but has not been able to show his love.

Yesterday, All my troubles seemed so far away, Now it looks as though they're here to stay, Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be, There's a shadow hanging over me, Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say. I said, Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, Love was such an easy game to play, Now I need a place to hide away Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say. I said, Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, Love was such an easy game to play, Now I need a place to hide away, Oh, I believe in yesterday.

__//**Relation to Scene:**//__

I believe this song would accurately display the emotions of Hamlet after Ophelia had left him. Within the song he feels as though with her gone he will never be the man he once was before, he'll never be the same man he was yesterday after her leaving him. He says that everything in life seems so hard without her.Even though she leaves him, the writer of the song still wants to be with her and still does lover her. I think this would validly display the emotions Hamlet would have after the breakup.Both in the song and the scene the woman departing the man doesn't explain to them why they are leaving.(3rd Stanza)

**It's Beginning To Get To Me Snow Patrol
 * Jennifer Hammond**

**

I want something That's purer than the water Like we were

It's not there now Ineloquence and anger Are all we have

Like Saturn's rings An icy loop around me Too hard to hold

Lash out first At all the things we don't like Or understand

And it's beginning to get to me That I know more of the stars and sea Than I do of what's in your head Barely touching in our cold bed

Are you beginning to get get my point That all this fighting with aching joints It's doing nothing but tire us out No one knows what this fight's about

The answer phone The lonely sound of your voice Frozen in time

I only need The compass that you gave me To guide me on

And it's beginning to get to me That I know more of the stars and sea Than I do of what's in your head Barely touching in our cold bed

Are you beginning to get get my point That all this fighting with aching joints It's doing nothing but tire us out No one knows what this fight's about

It's so thrilling but also wrong Don't have to prove that you are so strong 'Cause I can carry you on my back After our enemies attack

I tried to tell you before I left But I was screaming under my breath You are the only thing that makes sense Just ignore all this present tense

We need to feel breathless with love And not collapse under its weight I'm gasping for the air to fill My lungs with everything I've lost

We need to feel breathless with love And not collapse under its weight I'm gasping for the air to fill My lungs with everything I've lost

This song can relate to how Hamlet is feeling after he sees the gifts he gave to Ophelia in his room. He wanted their relationship to be perfect, "purer than the water." However, Ophelia sees the reasons that they cannot be together. Hamlet wants to remember the past and how good the couple was together, essentially "ignore all this present tense." Hamlet wants his love for Ophelia to distract him from all of his other problems with his uncle-father and aunt-mother. He "need[s] to feel breathless with love" to forget "everything [he's] lost."

 * Under the Bridge by The Red Hot Chili Peppers**



Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner Sometimes I feel like my only friend Is the city I live in, the city of angels Lonely as I am, together we cry

I drive on her streets 'cause she's my companion I walk through her hills 'cause she knows who I am She sees my good deeds and she kisses the windy Well, I never worry, now that is a lie

I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day But take me to the place I love, take me all the way I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day But take me to the place I love, take me all the way, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there It's hard to believe that I'm all alone Atleast I have her love, the city, she loves me Lonely as I am, together we cry

I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day But take me to the place I love, take me all the way I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day But take me to the place I love, take me all the way, yeah yeah yeah

Oh, no, no, no, yeah yeah Love me, I say, yeah yeah

One time

Under the bridge downtown Is where I drew some blood Under the bridge downtown I could not get enough

Under the bridge downtown Forgot about my love Under the bridge downtown I gave my life away

Yeah yeah yeah Oh, no, no, no, yeah yeah

Where I stay

The first several lines of this song are a perfect representation of the emotions Hamlet is feeling during his and Ophelia's silent scene. The line "sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner" is similar to Hamlet's feelings of depression and loneliness because with Ophelia's leaving him he has no one left to talk to about his problems. Also, the line "sometimes I feel like my only friend is the city I live in" represents the loss of trust and feelings of betrayal he has because of his mother marrying Claudius, Claudius killing his father, and Ophelia leaving him at the worst possible moment.

 "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down Taylor Santa Cruz

A hundred days have made me older Since the last time that I saw your pretty face A thousand lies have made me colder And I don't think I can look at this the same But all the miles that separate Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight it's only you and me, yeah

The miles just keep rollin' As the people leave their way to say hello I've heard this life is overrated But I hope that it gets better as we go, oh yeah yeah

I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight girl it's only you and me

Everything I know and anywhere I go It gets hard but it won't take away my love And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done It gets hard but it won't take away my love, whoa

I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight girl it's only you and me, yeah oh yeah oh

__Connection:__ **“**I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time**”**
 * - I believe that this part of the song really relates to how Hamlet is feeling. Hamlet is feeling depressed and lonely because of the fact that his love life with Ophelia is no more. He is without Ophelia in his life, but she is still on his “lonely mind.” Even though she is not by Hamlet’s side everyday and their love has vanished, he is still thinking about her unconditionally. All Hamlet has left to do is dream about Ophelia. **

 * You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi**

Shot through the heart, and your to blame, darling You give love a bad name

An angel's smile is what you sell You promise me heaven then put me through hell Chains of love, got a hold on me When passion's a prison you can't break free

You're a loaded gun ... yeah There's nowhere to run No-one can save me, the damage is done

Shot through the heart, and your to blame You give love a bad name I play my part and you play your game You give love a bad name You give love a bad name

You paint your smile on your lips Blood red nails on your fingertips A school boys dream, you act so shy Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

You're a loaded gun There's nowhere to run No-one can save me, the damage is done

Shot through the heart, and your to blame You give love a bad name I play my part and you play your game You give love a bad name You give love.....

Shot through the heart and your to blame You give love a bad name I play my part and you play your game You give love a bad name

Shot through the heart and your to blame You give love a bad name I play my part and you play your game You give love a bad name

You give love.... You give love a bad name You give love.... You give love a bad name You give love.... You give love a bad name

You and Me by Lifehouse** Chelsea Skowronski
 * [[file:Lifehouse - You and Me .mp3]]

what day is it and in what month this clock never seemed so alive I can't keep up and I can't back down I've been losing so much time

cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do nothing to lose and it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

all of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right I'm tripping inwards you got my head spinning I don't know where to go from here

cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do nothing to prove and it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

there's something about you now I can't quite figure out everything she does is beautiful everything she does is right

you and me and all of the people with nothing to do nothing to lose and it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

you and me and all of the people with nothing to do nothing to prove and it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

what day is it and in what month this clock never seemed so alive

scene. For example, "all the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right", best represents the scene because Hamlet can't quite put together the right words together to tell Ophelia his true feelings about her.
 * In the song You and Me there are several lines that contribute the same meaning and emotions to Hamlet and Ophelia's silent

Jeff Sheldon**
 * "I Never Wanted You" - Pedro the Lion

media type="file" key="04 I Never Wanted You.mp3" width="240" height="20"

I never wanted you. I never wanted two. I know I told you I did In front of witnesses. And then we lit one wick, But now I get my kicks. I know you never suspected Because I never said But Baby I was faking the whole time. How could you ever have guessed it With no accomplices? That Baby I was faking the whole time. You know it isn't like me to be inflammatory. But rather than let you think that I was so naive I'd have you believe I never wanted you. I never wanted two. You never had my heart. Our love was never true. I know you never suspected Because I never said. But Baby I was faking the whole time. How could you ever have guessed it With no accomplices? Baby I was faking the whole time. You know we never connected, You only thought we did. Baby I was faking the whole time. Baby I was faking the whole time. Baby I was faking the whole time.

This song fits the conversation between Hamlet and Ophelia because the lines "But baby I was faking the whole time" and "our love was never true" relates to Hamlet saying "I loved you not" to Ophelia. He thought he loved her but he never truly did. The mood of the song is very mellow and David Bazan sounds sad about a break up like Hamlet.

__Rachael Grossman__ media type="file" key="Kris_Allen_-_Remember_The_Time.mp3" width="240" height="20" Do you remember When we fell in love We were young And innocent then Do you remember How it all began It just seemed like heaven So why did it end?
 * Remember The Time by: Kris Allen (Michael Jackson Cover)**

Do you remember Back in the fall Wed be together All day long Do you remember Us holding hands In each others eyes Wed stare (tell me)

Do you remember the time When we fell in love Do you remember the time When we first met Do you remember the time When we fell in love Do you remember the time

Do you remember How we used to talk (ya know) Wed stay on the phone At night till dawn Do you remember All the things we said like I love you so Ill never let you go

Do you remember Back in the spring Every morning birds would sing Do you remember Those special times Theyll just go on and on In the back of my mind

Do you remember the time When we fell in love Do you remember the time When we first met girl Do you remember the time When we fell in love Do you remember the time

Those sweet memories Will always be dear to me And girl no matter what was said I will never forget what we had Now baby

Do you remember the time When we fell in love Do you remember the time When we first met Do you remember the time When we fell in love Do you remember the time

Do you remember the time When we fell in love Do you remember the time When we first met Do you remember the time When we fell in love Do you remember the time

Remember the times Ooh Remember the times Do you remember girl Remember the times On the phone you and me Remember the times Till dawn, two or three What about us girl

Remember the times Do you. do you, do you, Do you, do you Remember the times In the park, on the beach Remember the times You and me in spain Remember the times What about, what about...

Remember the times Ooh... in the park Remember the times After dark..., do you, do you, do you Remember the times Do you, do you, do you, do you Remember the times Yeah yeah Remember the times

//This song is a perfect example of the silent scene between Ophelia and Hamlet. The first part that got my attention was when Kris Allen says "Do you remember When we fell in love....So why did it end?" This quote reminds me of the scene in Hamlet because Hamlet doesn't understand why Ophelia wants to end things. Also he only sees the good in what they had, so "Do you remember when we fell in love" is a perfect quote to represent Hamlets feelings. Hamlet feels confused because he only knows what him and Ophelia had as being perfect and cannot see what would have made her want to break up.//

Everything's falling, and I am included in that Oh, how I try to be just okay Yeah, but I ever really wanted Was a little piece of you

And everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love But I want, want, want to be your love Want to be your love, for real Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love But I want, want, want to be your love Want to be your love for real

I want to be your love, love, love


 * //This song shows more of Ophelia's side of the relationship rather than Hamlet's side. The chorus in this song can be explained when Ophelia wants to be in love with Hamlet but Polonius is telling her to stay away from him. There are also a couple of lines that seem to fit the part of Ophelia having a relationship with Hamlet. One line is "Pretend I was queen". If Ophelia was a queen then there wouldn't be a problem with her and Hamlet getting together. Another line that I thought shows the scene with Hamlet and Ophelia is "Everythings falling, and I am included in that." This line fits because Hamlet has experienced many problems in his life. For example, the death of his father, his mother marrying his uncle, and now Ophelia leaving him. Overall this is great song that can be played for the silent scene of Hamlet and Ophelia.//

 * Unsaid by The Fray**

Not that you're the one Not to say I'm right Not to say today And not to say a thing tonight

But suffice it to say We're leaving things unsaid We sing ourselves to sleep Watching the day lie down instead

And we are leaving some things unsaid And we are breathing deeper instead

We're both pretty sure Neither one can tell We seem difficult What we got is hard as hell

A hundred thousand words Could not quite explain So I walk you to your car And we can talk it out in the rain

And we are leaving some things unsaid And we are breathing deeper instead And we are leaving some things unsaid

I can sing myself to sleep No more

Not that you're the one Not to say I'm right Not to say today And not to say a thing tonight

-To me this song is about a relationship that ends because of reasons "unsaid". I think this song applies to Hamlet and Ophelia because when their relationship ended, it left Hamlet with questions. In the song when they sing **"and we are leaving some things unsaid"**//,// I think they're saying one person never told the other the real reason for breaking up, instead they left it all "unsaid" because they were afraid of hurting the other person even more. This would apply to Ophelia because she just ended things with Hamlet without explaining to him the conflict of her father knowing because she believes it would only upset Hamlet more. Also when The Fray sings **"a hundred thousand words could not quite explain"**, I think it relates to Ophelia not being able to explain her decision of breaking up to Hamlet because she knows he would never understand why she chose obeyed her father. I also think when the song says **"we seem difficult, what we got is hard as hell"**, it is saying how the relationship had its problems but the one person still wants to work it out. This would apply to Hamlet and Ophelia's relationship because they were not supposed to be together since Hamlet is a prince and Ophelia is a poor girl, but Hamlet still loves her and wants to be with her. Even though their relationship ends I think the song is about how a relationship ends calmly, not in a huge fight or a dramatic scene but instead they're **"breathing deeper instead"**. This applies to Hamlet and Ophelia's relationship as well because there was not a huge break-up scene, it was a peaceful departure.

 * "Forever & Always" by Taylor Swift**

media type="file" key="10 The Way I Loved You.m4a" width="300" height="50"

Once upon a time, I believe it was a Tuesday When I caught your eye We caught onto something, I hold on to the night You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me Were you just kidding? 'Cause it seems to me

This thing is breaking down, we almost never speak I don't feel welcome anymore Baby, what happened? Please tell me 'Cause one second it was perfect Now you're halfway out the door

And I stare at the phone; he still hasn't called And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all And you flashback to when he said, forever and always Oh, oh

And it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone 'Cause I was there when you said forever and always

Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest Made you run and hide like a scared little boy? I looked into your eyes, thought I knew you for a minute Now I'm not so sure

So here's to everything, coming down to nothing Here's to silence that cuts me to the core Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute But I don't anymore

And I stare at the phone; he still hasn't called And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all And you flashback to when he said forever and always Oh, oh

And it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone 'Cause I was there when you said forever and always You didn't mean it, baby, I don't think so Oh, oh

Oh, back up, baby, back up, did you forget everything? Back up, baby, back up, did you forget everything?

'Cause it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone 'Cause I was there when you said forever and always

And I stare at the phone he still hasn't called And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all And you flashback to when we said forever and always!

And it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone 'Cause I was there when you said forever and always You didn't mean it, baby, you said forever and always, Yeah

I think this song relates to Hamlet and Ophelia’s relationship. Hamlet is the person who is singing, while Ophelia is his intended audience. Many lines relate to how Hamlet is feeling: “We caught onto something,”: Relates to how Ophelia and Hamlets love is very true, and it was not just a fling the way Polonius and Laertes suspect. “Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest” Despite Hamlets true affection for Ophelia, his love is only critized and Ophelia is repeatedly warned that this relationship is only a fling to Hamlet. “So here's to everything, coming down to nothing Here's to silence that cuts me to the core Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute But I don't anymore” : They shared a special love, however, due to her father, Ophelia had to break it off, and now the once special relationship no longer exists. Hamlet is so hurt and therefore he is speechless when he looks in Ophelia’s eyes “You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me Were you just kidding?”: Ophelia was the only person on earth who was honest with Hamlet. Due to the way the relationship ended, I suspect Hamlet believes Ophelia was “just kidding” when she told him she loved him

 * "Walk Away" By Ben Harper**

media type="file" key="06 Walk Away.m4a" width="300" height="50"

Oh no Here comes that sun again That means another day Without you my friend

And it hurts me To look into the mirror at myself And it hurts even more To have to be with somebody else And it's so hard to do And so easy to say But sometimes Sometimes you just have to walk away Walk away

With so many people To love in my life Why do i worry About one

But you put the happy In my ness You put the good times Into my fun And it's so hard to do And so easy to say [ Ben Harper Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ] But sometimes Sometimes you just have to walk away Walk away And head for the door

We've tried the goodbye So many days We walk in the same direction So that we could never stray They say if you love somebody Than you have got to set them free But i would rather be locked to you Than live in this pain and misery

They say time will Make all this go away But it's time that has taken my tomorrows And turned them into yesterdays And once again that rising sun Is dropping on down And once again you my friend Are nowhere to be found And it's so hard to do And so easy to say But sometimes Sometimes you just have to walk away Walk away And head for the door You just walk away Walk away

 * "High and Dry" by Radiohead**

Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy. Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop. You'd kill yourself for recognition; kill yourself to never ever stop. You broke another mirror; you're turning into something you are not.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk. All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love They're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out They're the ones who'll spit at you. You will be the one screaming out.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

It's the best thing that you've ever had, the best thing that you've ever, ever had. It's the best thing that you've ever had; the best thing you've had has gone away.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me high Don't leave me dry.

//I chose this song because Ophelia left Hamlet "high and dry" without any explanation or obvious reasoning for the breakup. Also the lines "//Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk" //references the silence of the silent scene. "//All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love" //and "//// It's the best thing that you've ever had; the best thing you've had has gone away" sums up how Hamlet is feeling at this point.//

"Demons" by Guster Adam Crosby  My words confuse you My eyes don’t move a blink Cause it’s easier sometimes Not to be sincere Somehow I make you believe Believe When I speak I cross my fingers Will you know you’ve been deceived? I find a need to be the demon A demon cannot be hurt Honest is easy Fiction is where genius lies Cause it’s easier sometimes Not to be involved Somehow I make you believe Believe When I speak I cross my fingers Will you know you’ve been deceived? I find a need to be the demon A demon cannot be hurt When I speak I cross my fingers Will you know you’ve been deceived? I find a need to be the demon A demon cannot be hurt When I speak I cross my fingers Will you know you’ve been deceived? I find a need to be the demon A demon cannot be hurt

//This song shows Hamlet's emotional state at this point in the play. Hamlet is basically giving up on life after this break up, the line "I find the need to be the demon, a demon cannot be hurt" can be compared to his outlook on the situation with women. Although this song does not directly fit with the break up scene I feel as though it still works well for Hamlet himself. He has been deceived by every important woman in his life, his mother and Ophelia. He does not want to be hurt again so he will not open up to any other woman because he cannot trust them "Cause it's easier sometimes, not to be involved." He will just have to lie to them and not show his true feelings "Will you know you've been deceived?"//
