Since seeing The Great Gatsby yesterday, I have become a little obsessed with one of the songs that recurred throughout the movie, particularly in the scenes with Gatsby and Daisy. The song is "Young and Beautiful" by Lana Del Rey. I think the song, while maybe not "period appropriate," is very evocative of the story between Gatsby and Daisy. I found the official music video on YouTube. I tend to be fond of trace-like music to begin with, plus it is just a great song -- musically, lyrically, etc. Rather than go on and on about it, though, I am just going to post the video, so people can see for themselves. Enjoy!
