Macbeth Music.

http://open.spotify.com/user/1222194144/playlist/6cl4KY4NsPNqsONefEq29m 1.) "The End of the Innocence" by Bruce Hornsby This song refers to the decisions Macbeth makes to gradually murder people over time. 2.) "I Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash The allignment of Macbeth straddles the line between good and evil before finally becoming bad. The audience also still generally feels pathos towards Macbeth at the end of the play, even considering his misdeeds. 3.) "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins The tension surrounding Macbeth before the murder of Macbeth is somewhat illustrated in this song. 4.) "Peace of Mind" by Boston Macbeth really only desires peace and security after a certain point in the play, like this song. Sadly, it eludes him. 5.) "Flirtin' with Disaster" by Molly Hatchet The choices Macbeth makes lead him down a dangerous road of blood and treachery, like this song's title. 6.) "I won't Back Down" by Tom Petty Macbeth won't yield to Macduff in Act V of the play. This also resembles Tom's sentiments toward the standing upon one's own ground. 7.) "What Goes Around Comes Around" by Justin Timberlake The bad choices Macbeth makes lead to his own downfall, akin to this familial karmic proverb edifaced in Justin Timberlake own perfect falsetto. 8.) "Minds Awake" by Rumspringa Lady Macbeth and Macbeth become haunted by their guilt and fear that their secrets will become known. This thought plagues and tears at their consciences constantly, eventually driving Macbeth to hallucinations and Lady Macbeth to suicide. 9.) "I Can't Stop" by Flux Pavillion Macbeth says after a point in the play that it would be foolish to turn back on his murderous ways after what he had already done, forcing him to continue down the path of sin. 10.) "Say it Ain't So" by Weezer Macbeth is reluctant to admit defeat and mourns the precarious situation that Macduff presents him with at the end of Act V.
