For this I chose a song by one of my favorite artists, the Beatles. This is one of their more lighthearted songs, but the themes coincide a lot with the character of Gatsby. Gatsby has all the possessions in the world, but the one thing in the world he desires most is Daisy's love. He spends all his days and nights waiting for her, not being truly happy even though he has everything in the world. This goes to show that there is deeper meaning to life than what you can physically touch. The singer shared the same sentiment as Gatsby when he says "I'll give you all I've got to give if you say you"ll love me too" and "I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love." He shares the same plight as Gatsby, and for that I pity him. Both these men have everything but the one thing that matters; love.
