I don't know if there's any specific references in this one, but in high school I did a project where I drew a bunch of comparisons between Othello and La Dispute's "New Storms For Older Lovers."

this is great concept. my shakespeare final was earlier this week but while reading through the material for the test, some songs would pop into my mind. maybe i'll think of them later. as much as I hated reading shakespeare, I do appreciate his writing. #sparknotesmodernenglish crazy to think about how his play plots from centuries ago still are relevant/relatable today.

I had to do a similar assignment freshmen year of hs and I'm pretty sure I used two MCR songs lol. There are so many songs with Shakespeare references

A Fine Frenzy gets her musical project name from Shakespeare:
“The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, doth glance from heaven to Earth, from Earth to heaven; and as imagination bodies forth the forms of things unknown, the poet's pen turns them to shape, and gives to airy nothing a local habitation and a name; such tricks hath strong imagination.”

one of Marc Bolan's first groups, John's Children, did a song called Midsummer Night's Scene
