Songs that relate to The Great Gatsby

By : Alex Michaud

Hit and Run - Lana Del Rey

- Perfect song for Myrtle (not only because of the title)

-First stanza of the song explains that she has a man that's rich but has a girl

-"Pick me up in your white Lamborghini

London town, you’ll watch out while I’m singing

Glamorous on the stage, boy, believe me

Keep your girl back, no competing"

- Chorus of the song

Numb - August Alsina

Here without you - 3 doors down

Started from the bottom - Drake

- Perfect to describe Gatsby waiting for Daisy

-I’m here without you, baby

But you’re still on my lonely mind

I think about you, baby

And I dream about you all the time

I’m here without you, baby

-Scenes after he drops off Daisy at Buchanan

- Song describes the second time Nick is drunk (with Tom and his side women)

- "she was already on deck 'fore i met her"

-the bridge of the song shows how drunk Nick and the others were

-"I had one, two, three too many

I’m f***ed up, four chicks with me

I’m loud, took about five shots

Six bottles I just copped

Twisted, turnt up, 24/7"

- Portraying Gatsby, very poor to rich

-"Now I'm on the road, half a million for show"

-"Boys tell stories about the man

Say I never struggled, wasn’t hungry, yeah, I doubt that"

-We don’t like to do too much explaining

Story stayed the same through the money and the fame

Hey there Delilah - plain white t's

- Song demonstrates the love that Gatsby has for her during his absence

- "whats it like in nyc, im a thousand miles away"

-"I know times are getting hard

But just believe me, girl

Someday I’ll pay the bills with this guitar (replaced with Gatsby's illegal activities)

We’ll have it good

We’ll have the life we knew we would

My word is good "
