I believe "Today was a Fairytale" by Taylor Swift is the perfect song for the __West Side Story__ Soundtrack. When looking at the lyrics, it is clear to see that many of the feelings discussed can be related to the scene in __West Side Story__ where Maria and Tony met at the center dance. For example, I believe Maria can relate to Taylor Swift when she states "But can you feel this magic in the air? It must have been the way you kissed me. Fell in love when I saw you standing there, It must have been the was today was a fairytale". Maria could relate to this because she fell in love at first sight. The song also states that "Nothing made sense until she saw his face". I believe Tony can relate to this because he was confused about his path in life until he met Maria. Then, as Tony said in the novel, he "got the message". Last, I think Tony can relate to the part of the song where it says "I can feel my heart it's beating in my chest. Did you feel it?" because he clearly states that Maria makes his heart beat when he sees he. He stated this in the scene where he visits Maria at her tenement building after the dance. He was so happy, nervous and excited that he said he could hear and feel his heart pounding in his chest. Overall, I believe "Today was a Fairytale" by Taylor Swift would be the perfect addition to our class __West Side Story__ soundtrack.
