Jordan was telling Nick of how Daisy and Gatsby used to date and that he moved in hopes of seeing her. The lyrics from the book below show how Gatsby feels. He believes that Daisy’s love actually ‘belongs’ to Gatsby.

"I'm in the Sheik of Araby.
Your love belongs to me.
At night when you're asleep
Into your tent I'll creep -----"
(page 78)

The original artist of this song is "Fats Waller" it was released in 1921. The song is a love song. He is very in love with her. He talks about love being possessive. That her love belong to him.

"Well I'm the sheik of Araby
Your love belongs to me
Well at night where you're asleep
Into your tent I'll creep"
(Sheik of Araby)

"This is our fate, I'm yours
But do, do , do , do you, but do you, do, do, do you, but do you want to come on, scooch on over closer, dear."
(I'm Yours, Jason Mraz) (Pop)

The lyrics on top are from The Sheik of Araby and the ones on the bottom are from I'm Yours by Jason Mraz. They both talk about wanting to be together/closer. They also talk about being possessive and saying that they are each others. "Your love belongs to me" and "'I'm Yours"

Tom was thinking of another girl showing up the party so that Gatsby could forget his love for Daisy. Three O'clock in the Morning could be a metaphor for how Daisy and Gatsby's relationship was renewed. Gatsby and Daisy’s hearts are still ‘beating in time’ with one another.

"Her glance left me and sought the lighted top of the steps, where Three O'Clock in the Morning, a neat, sad little waltz of that year, was drifting out the open door." (page 108)

The artist of Three O'clock in the Morning is Julian Robledo and Theodora Morse. This song was released in 1921. The song is about lovers who waltzed through the night.

"We've danced the whole night through
And daylight soon will be dawning
Just one more waltz with you" (Three O'clock in the Morning)

"The one that makes me go all night long
The one that makes me think of you
That's all you gotta do

Play that song
The one the makes me stay out till dawn"
(Play That Song, Train) (Pop)

The lyrics up top are from Three O'clock in the morning and the one below is Play that Song by Train. They are similar in regards of dancing all night long with a lover of theirs.

Gatsby demanded Klipspringer to play. The lyrics of this song represent Daisy's indecision of whether or not she should leave Tom for Gatsby.

"When Klipspringer had played The Love Nest he turned around on bench and searched unhappily for Gatsby in the gloom." (page 94-95)

"In the morning,
In the evening,
Ain't we got fun---"
(page 95)

The artist of a love nest was John Steel and it was written in 1920. This song is one long love story. The Love Nest is a place where two lovers spend time together. He was describing a love Nest in the song.

"Just a love nest
Cozy with charm,
Like a dove nest"
(The Love Nest)

"Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah"
(If I Ain't got you, Alicia Keys) (R&B/ Soul)

The song above is The Love Nest and the one below is If I Ain't got you by Alicia Keys. In If I Ain't got you, she gains comfort from her love. She wants him more than anything. They relate in a way of home and comfort in being with that someone they love.

The time that Gatsby wrote the book was in "the roaring twenties". This was known as the Jazz age. Fitzgerald said himself in Echoes of the Jazz Age “it was an age of miracles, it was an age of art, it was an age of excess, and it was an age of satire" Readers of The Great Gatsby at the time understood and connected with the music. Fitzgerald used music to reflect characters moods and emotions as well as the mood of the atmosphere. ]]> 2018-04-28 04:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_48818/8386sa0hqdzw/wish/256197056
