Question

What are some songs that correlate to Jay Gatsby's character in The Great Gatsby movie?

Answer 1

Daisy Buchanan: Modest Mouse - Float On I chose this song because the lyrics are perfect for Daisy. The lyrics of this song are so “chill,” and that describes Daisy perfectly. She is so wealthy that she doesn’t have to care about anything. The first line of the song is “I backed my bar into a cop car the other day.” While Daisy never collided with a police officer, she did get in a car accident. Also, one of the lines is “bad news comes, don’t you worry even when it lands.” This line is exemplified through Daisy (and Tom) just moving whenever something bad happens. Daisy doesn’t need to worry, and her life is essentially one big “lazy river” in which she is just floating. Myrtle Wilson: Gwen Stefani - Rich Girl Myrtle wants to be wealthy. She wants to have money, and Tom is her way of getting to that money.
