RAEGAN Transforms Shakespeare’s Classic with “WALTZ”: A Captivating Lesbian Retelling of Romeo and Juliet
The track was created during her senior year of high school, a time when she bravely embraced her true identity and faced the resistance of her parents, not just to her sexuality but also to her chosen partner. RAEGAN channeled her feelings of entrapment and the longing for acceptance through the powerful medium of music. She explains, “One day I went into the studio and just wanted to make a song out of a waltz for some reason. The feeling of the music made me express how I was feeling in a very almost old fashioned, Shakespearean way. Everything I wrote is how I felt at the time in a more metaphorical sense. It’s me expressing how I felt trapped and controlled when I just wanted to be allowed to be in love.
