Romeo and Juliet Lyrics

Lyric discussion by baa04 

Cover art for Romeo and Juliet lyrics by Indigo Girls

I love the Indigo Girls and I love this song, but I do not like their version. I heard the original Dire Straits version first and there is such heart ache and pain in this song. In the Indigo Girls cover , there is too much anger.

@baa04 I agree. I adore the Indigo Girls, but this is too much of a departure from the original. If there’s a cover version that I think “gets it”, it’s the one by the Killers. But Dire Straits’ original is pretty much perfect.
