That scene where Gatsby and Daisy were messing around the house and when the this song played, i almost wanted to cry.
Same
+Oscar Aguilar I heard this song before watching the movie, and to be honest.. The movie didn't live up to the song.
Oscar Aguilar , I almost cry too but only because seeing Leo's face is like seeing flashes of the glory of God and it makes me remember.
I cried
i cried
I love how, in the movie, they play the piano part of the song in the background every time Gatsby seems to think of Daisy.
It is great, isn't it, old sport?
Yeah,i love it...old school
Me too. Also it was played in the flashback scene when Jordan is explaining the story of Gatsby and Daisy.
Yep,this sdtrack and movie it's amazing!
Gary I love this scene. I repeat this scene a few times.
I just love the deep melancholic tone of this song
Greasy Grieeezzz

I love Lana's mystical, beautiful, loving voice.
Exactly!
@@pirategamer6630 yass
from 0:35 to 0:49 has got to be one of the most objectively enchanting and beautiful moments in music history. This whole song sounds so dreamy, but *that* bit especially makes me feel like floating.
It's how dreamy it sounds 😂 like a tragic Disney tale but for adults
Agreed. Listening to this on a well tuned surround system (13.4.6 speakers) is otherworldly.
It feels like you’re being transported to another world while listening to this. I can’t stop listening it’s just so good 🔥
Looool i feel for 10 seconds like im on crack
@@codysparks1454I feel the same! Plus I have a man that feels this way about me too!
sometimes I think this song is more than just music.
you're not the only one
Yeah...it's inexplicable!!
I feel the same!
well you could say its also a poem
This song brings your soul and mind to a whole different place. It is beyond beautiful. It's more than a song.
This is genuinely the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. Its so angelic and seductive at the same time. Her voice is so versatile.
And so soft
HANNAH PAYTON EXACTLY 💯

"I knew it was a great mistake for a man like me to fall in love"
- Jay Gatsby -
:(
+arth457 his motivation was to become someone great and to leave poverty, even before he met daisy. he could have achieved everything even without his love for her, yet he stated that everything he has is shallow and meaningless without her.
Radical Patriotic Conservative. Sometimes you have to take that chance
Radical Patriotic Conservative. No that is incorrect. When Nick talks with Gatsby's father at the end of the book he tells Nick that Gatsby never really belonged in the family and that he always had big dreams for himself. This was way way before Daisy
"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together and let other people clean up the mess they had made."
It was this song that made me Lana's fan. I still remember hearing it for the first time and faling in love with it. It speaks to me in a way I don't understand. It goes straight to my heart. Thank God I came cross it. Thank you lana for creating a masterpiece.
Dang
Ok and? 😢
😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂🎉😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Je suis pareil que toi dailleur ma chaine est lana ❤
THIS^ @sakshisurya I wasn’t a Lana del Rey fan, but this makes me intrigued to look up her music now. Her “Once upon a time” cover for maleficent was amazing but I came here from a classical waltz playlist someone made. This song is heaven-sent. I needed this 🥺
Seriously, Lana Del Rey would be perfect for a Bond song! She would set the tone perfectly like Adele did with Skyfall.
so true
She's not British though, so they wouldn't let her.
Libertatem So true !
a-ha (Norwegian) performed the theme for "The Living Daylights" (although it was an awful - and forgettable - film).
Petey Pete Neither is Chris Cornell, Alicia Keys, Tina Turner, Carly Simon, Madonna, Nancy Sinatra, etc. I'm sure there are others.
Why this is a wonderful song don't you agree...old sport?
Lmao
Jay Gatsby I would have to agree old sport
Perfect comment
He's back ?!?!??!!!!?
Demarco tucker even twice
this is my jam old sport
chill
Lol 😁
journeymanX For some reason these songs are at very low volume..?
+ProjectVibe it's because Lana's voice. She sings really low.
journeymanX YESSSSSS
This song is like the definition of Elegant….It’s beautiful, it gives me this feeling of being rich, wearing beautiful, elegant, floor length dresses and living in a different era like the 30’s. Which works because it’s in a movie set in the 20’s! But it’s just so…Lovely
The first time in many many years when I have heard a sincerity in the voice of a pop singer.
Lana is indie alternative not pop.
***** no she isn't lol shes pop
Anthony Proia this is not pop music.
I've been a fan of Lana since her Lizzy Grant days, believe me when I tell you she isn't pop. Anthony Proia
***** Pop isn't a genre it came from "popular" music and is a term used to generalize contemporary music bud her music may be indie alternative style but is definitely a pop singer regardless. On top of that she is a good singer and the comment is complimenting her so don't be offended by it.
The story about Gatsby is super sad to me. I watched the movie a few years ago and boy did I cry puddles. The way he loved Daisy, the way he loved what life with Daisy would look like was so dangerously beautiful to me. He didn't deserve to die the way he did but it just proves that you can't live for someone else. He lived for her. Just to get to her. Then died and she didn't even bother to show up to his funeral. No one did.
Well your in luck, old sport. Pt. 2 Gatsby rises from the grave and butchers the entire city.
@@dvm590 that's not the type of happy ending i expected...
I showed it to a army guy, he was like Josh this is is a story about a chick that would not wait on her boyfriend to come back from the military the same story you see every day. I was like wow.
@@jwoods9659 Yall are just adamant on ruining this movie for me, huh? 🤨
@@jhaellep2104 Naa read the book, BUT really its the same story you see everyday.
I just never looked at it from the viewpoint of a guy that been in the army. That is hoping his chick is at home waiting for him. And like current life Daisy was not
This movie is so underrated.
+ThomasStreet indeed! One of the best movies ever made and Leo was OUTSTANDING. Incredible
Then read the book lol
+ThomasStreet the song is in all that matters.
+ThomasStreet I love this song, but it didn't fit the era along with most of the rest of the soundtrack, and a lot of their sets were not correct to the era either, overall it was good though.
+Gabe Amador the movie was bomb regardless
This song sounds like heaven. It makes me feel like I’m in Italy during the summer, just enjoying life without a stress about anything
How didn't Lana win an Oscar for this song is the better question?!
Actually, Emmy is for television. I believe you can win an Oscar for soundtrack, though. If not that, this song deserved a Grammy.
Grammy only recognizes Taylor Swift songs.
It was disqualified because there are two different versions
Eminem won an oscar for lose yourself
@Anti's TCG Channel Productions its a grammy for music and yes oscars are awarded for composition in film...yikes
The reason The Great Gatsby is a classic is because it is a tragedy. Nick was the only person who saw that Gatsby was a great man, but sadly with a singular blinding devotion to a fault for his true love. Lana's haunting style is a perfect fit to this timeless literary masterpiece.
tbh i think nick had a slight affection for him in a romantic light. maybe fell in love with the image in a materialistic curious way, and then never realised he had went the full way to unveil gatsby’s true self and knew him in his most raw and vulnerable state, thus being so passionate about remembering him and sleeping depressingly on the stairs , defending gatsby’s name and corpse so passionately.. shame we’ll never find out, old sport.
@commiesarentpeople you don’t know that.. also i never said he was lmao
Agreed
“Hot summer nights”
“mid July”

I've seen the world, done it all
Had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant, and Bel Air now
Hot summer nights, mid-July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child
[Chorus]
Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
[Verse 2]
I've seen the world, lit it up as my stage now
Channeling angels in the new age now
Hot summer days, rock and roll
The way you'd play for me at your show
And all the ways I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul
[Chorus]
Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?

Dear Lord, when I get to heaven
Please, let me bring my man

No one can cover this song.... Lana Del Rey's voice and singing style was meant for this
This was perfect at the prom..
Her voice is otherworldly...ethereal.
There is something about this song that reflects the morals and themes of The Great Gatsby in its novel form. It is beautiful just like the book and yet again, Lana is just effortless.
I agree...the whole thing with Daisy and Gatsby's luxurious lifestyles...will you still love me when I don't have my looks and my youth?
Jill Angel Totally! :) Lana's voice fits the bill and reminds me of the roaring twenties and has that really 1920's twinge to it. The Great Gatsby as a book was beautifully written and this song just does it justice.
Billy Darbon Justice in the sense that it is just as beautiful as the novel.
Right
Agreed. And it can be seen as either Daisy or Gatsby's point of view, or really the POV of that entire generation. Lana said it was in Daisy's view, but I love how it can be taken both ways. So, so perfect for this film and the novel.
Every time I listen to this song, I tear up. It reminds me of this one woman. This woman's life was terrible. She died at only 36. Some think she was murdered, some think suicide. No one really knows. She was a beautiful smart woman. She was born on June 1. 2 weeks later she was taken to an orphanage because her mother was mentally ill. She would be in 9 different foster homes from then till she was 16. She was raped twice during this episode of her life, both times by a different foster parent. Once at the age of 9, and another at age 11. At the age of 16, her new foster parents, whom she liked, couldnt have her live with her anymore, so it was either the orphanage or marriage to a boy she had been dating for a couple months. She chose marriage. During her marriage to her husband, named James, she wanted nothing more then a family, and to began her always wanted career as a model and actress. Her husband didn't support either of these. They ended up divorced. She was once again all alone. She had no money. Her car was towed, power turned off, and she was in desperate need of money. That was when she decided to get a quick "buck" by posing nude in a photo shoot, called the Red Velvet shoot. These would later become the first cover of Playboy magazine. She began modeling. She had her brown hair lightened to a gold color. She modeled for a while until she was offered a career in the movie business. She changed her name and had her hair cut short and died platinum. Her career was all she had until she married Joe DiMaggio. however he would beat her and call her a whore. They divorced only 9 months after there marriage. She then would marry a third time to Arthur Miller, in this stage she became pregnant 3 times, but sadly resulted in 3 miscarriages. She was diagnosed with endometriosis and could not have children. He blamed them on her causing her to go into depression. She had tried to commit suicide multiple times already. They divorced. On August 5, 1962 dead laying flat down on her bed at 2 am. It was done by an overdose. She was carried away. The real question is that would people "love her when she is no longer young and beautiful?" In God's eye she will forever be young and beautiful. This woman's name is Marilyn Monroe. R.I.P. June 1, 1926 - August 5, 1962 Age: 36

Eddie Esposti Productions Yes She was one of the most underappreciated people ever.
Eddie Esposti Productions thank you
@@latoshaleggett3299 whoa. i have nothing else to say. whoa
may I say that this was the most perfect song they could possibly choose for The Great Gatsby
This song embodies “hauntingly beautiful”
Eyyy same pp, also love how you captured the emotions so beautifully
Literally!! If you look up hauntingly beautiful songs and this song doesn’t pop up I wouldn’t agree with that list 😂😂 It really does embody “hauntingly beautiful” so well
I want a man who loves me like Gatsby loved Daisy ..
I want a woman who won't stab me in the back
***** I can see the argument for this but I think it was Daisy who liked the idea of having Gatsby instead.
ME TO LIKE A MAN BUT LET THIS HOPE TO THE GOD HE WILL GIVE U MORE THAN U WANT
NATHAN GALE THINKS FOR YOUR OPINION BUT ALL I WANNA SAY WAS THAT I HOPE FROM THE LORDE TO GIVE US SOMEBODY THAT WE CAN SHARE WITH HIM OUR FEELING IN THAT LIFE ;;
Do not be trapped by clichés: it is only cinema ... The depth of love is not determined by physical appearance. The reality is not a dream ;-)
And he finally did it old sport. he got the Oscar
DisplayName definitely Old sport
*In Tom's voice* That so?
You are absolutely right OldSport
“Will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?”

LMFAOOO
I was feeling something. You made me ROFL
MY TEARS WENT BACK INSIDE LOL
25 peace out
underrated comment!
FUN FACT: While the movie received polarizing critical reviews, F. Scott Fitzgerald's granddaughter saw the movie and had positive things to say about it, even going as far to say that "Scott would've been proud".
I think the rap fit perfectly. While not from that era, rap nowadays provokes similar reactions to jazz in the past and therefore, at least in my opinion, fits the tone.
@@cedricheitmann1786 you know what would’ve provoked similar reactions Jazz
@@dunbass7149 I’ll take jazz and the Mississippi delta blues all week over rap.
@@dunbass7149 actually, they’ve got a point. Jazz, back then, was viewed very differently from what it is today. It was called “the devil’s music,” there were campaigns to censor it, it encouraged dancing, dancing that was considered promiscuous, and it was a style of music pioneered and performed by black people, something that was not socially acceptable back then due to rampant racism in society then.
If the Great Gatsby had exclusively played Jazz music present in the 20s, it would not carry over the same cultural connotations as it does today. Rap music today often deals with topics such as promiscuity and often uses foul language, and is often a genre used to dance, often promiscuously, thus eliciting the same reaction from us today, as would the people of 1920s New York.
@@l_ndonmusic oh I didn’t know that, thank you
How come he didn't win an Oscar on this movie Old Sport?
+maGe poTz IKR ffs, it was a damn great movie
+maGe poTz probably cuz it didn't accurately portray the book aka it wasn't gay enough (Nick Carraway is hinted at being homosexual and so was Jordan)
oh man that made my day 😂😭😭💀
+zen disco There are also incestual overtones, Daisy and Gatsby consomated, etc.
Cause some assholes have a hard time understanding the movie old sport
"He smiled understandingly-much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced--or seemed to face--the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey."
OMG i LITERALLY SAW THIS SCENE IN MY 11th Lit class earlier yesterday lol 😂 so far the movie has been going amazing 🤩
First time watching it as well so that’s even better
Как название?
YAYYYY!!! NATSBY!!!
The only guy with a smile like that Leonardo dicaprio ❤
This was going to be the first dance song with my fiancé at our wedding. He’s now in the cancer ward with stage 4. But he’s been the best chapter in the book of life, and yes you can still love someone with nothing left but an aching soul ❤

This song makes me happy and sad at the same time! How is that even possible?????
Because the song is so beautiful that it makes you happy but also sad at the same time. :'(
***** That's the magic in the voice of Lana del Rey.
Not just he voice but the sound effects and the strings and other instruments. Also the tune is very nostalgic-feeling.
because it's melancholic
@@theloneranger8725 i agree that ir's because it's a Lana del Rey's song
Leonardo Dicaprio deserved oscar-s in Titanic, Catch me if you Can, Great Gatsby, Wolf of Wall Street
Giorgi Sonicius and the aviator???????
And shutter ısland
I mean he got one
@@cinematiccreator716 one among many he should have gotten. Out of all the films he's been in, the revenant? its an amazing movie and his performance is amazing, but Im surprised the more mass appeal of his other movies didn't get him an Oscar sooner
@@melodymedia466 true, be blessed
“And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.”
How did Leonardo NOT get an oscar for this?
That's a pretty good dam question?!?!
+Tickmayham42 if the movie was bad or good has nothing to do with leonados acting though
Well, it won two other oscars so it is probably not "crappy" like you said then. But every one has their own taste in movies. Personally I thought it was amazing
***** That I cannot say anything against since I haven't read it :) But please dont call one of my favorite moves shit :(
+Tickmayham42 The book was amazing... So many amazingly applicable quotes...
I hope I'm not the only one who starts getting teary eyed just hearing this song
I happen to hear this song on Pandora first before watching The Great Gatsby, when I finally watched the movie last night & it started playing it... I couldn't stop the tear rolling down my cheek. He did, and would have done anything to have her. Everything he had meant nothing because she was his everything.
We studied the original book in our second year in college there is so much details in the original book such a wonderful story written by F.Scot.Fitzgerald
She makes it look so- so splendid, don't you think, old sport?
😭
crying
I wish Nick talked to him more…
This was the first Lana Del Rey song I ever heard and it sounds so beautiful.
Same!!
Lana doesn’t just make music, she makes art
I love the way that Lana always make her songs sound like they belong in movies
I mean this song was literally made for a movie so
@@Nunetutelulayi Ik i just meant all of songs are made for movies
Get a life
I see so many people say that Daisy never loved Gatsby, but I have to disagree. I think she loved him, but it was a selfish love. Real love is a give and take, but she just 'took' and it was entirely selfish. I think she loved him, but she wasn't IN love with him.
Nina Laffoon deep af
Preach
Exactly. I think she was more in love with the idea of him. Having this great love with glamour and excitement. But in the end, she wasn't ready to commit or was afraid to leave the comfort of what she already had.
i think that too, but i also think gatsby was in love with the idea of daisy, in the book it's mentioned he has these thoughts of being with her and unrealistic expectations for daisy, and as mentioned she wasn't ready to leave the security she had with tom
I feel the same way! I have the DVD and have seen the movie more than enough times. She loved him but I think she was more concerned with 'Having' him. She used him as an escape from Tom and the real world when she needed to. There was the attraction and desire when they first saw each other after a long time. I just think Gatsby was gone way to long and Daisy grew accustomed to Tom's money and foolery.
I was on a school exchange and we went to France. There was the cutest girl i've ever seen, she was so nice and pretty. I really liked her and every minute with her was so beautiful. But after a week i had to move back to Germany. Then after 2 months she came to Germany and i was so happy to see her again. I really fell in love with her and i think she also liked me so it was my mission to win her heart. I was on a good way but then i realized that this exchange is just a week and maybe i will never see her again after this week.
This was one of her favourite songs and now, when she's back at home, 1000km away from me, this song is one of the emotional memories to her. Every time i hear this song i think of her and i nearly cry.
Please come back to Germany!
this is such a sad and adorable story. too bad things didn't work out in the end. :(
@@AngelParkOfficial your story made emotional
"You remind me of a rose, an absolute rose."
Daisy said that to Nick
This song is like a dangerous and forbidden dance between sadness and anger that never ends in the imagination of those who listens to it that in the end left you with a sense of sad peace…
Are you a writer or a poet? Asking genuinely cause the way you worded this is honestly so beautiful and captivating and inspiring, you could write a book and I have a feeling readers would hang on your every word X) just a thought though
@ thanks for your kind and thoughtful comment. I’m not neither a writer or a poet, I’m just a guy that lives in constant words, feelings and thoughts that come and goes like the waves of the ocean, in a place where time and space seems frozen, a place in the conscious mind of the reader where feelings flow and stop at every comma and dot. Not more, not less than that.
Thank you for reading and have an excellent day!
not many people I know appreciated The Great Gatsby the way I did, what really moved me about the movie was the sheer hope that J Gatsby had, the love he had for the world, and the way he tried to make the best of his life. The one thing he needed to finally make him truly happy, was love, which he got for a short amount of time, before he met a truly sad and unexpected, unnecessarily, tragic end. The reason he died; he protected the one he loved.
+Garett Walls i haven't seen the new movie but i read the book a long time ago and watched the older movie would you recommend the new movie?
the story is of course amazing because it had a great source material to go on, but the movie made way too many mistakes, being cgi heavy cuz it was released in 3d. it felt really stretched out
Fitzgerald wrote this book hoping to shed some light on how The American Dream is just a dream, not reality. Not to mention how hollow the upper class is.
+Garett Walls I wasn't expecting to like this movie (I saw some of Romeo + Juliet and wanted to jump out a window.) but I watched it and it took me a few days to watch it all, but once I did it really had an impact on me and left me thinking about it a lot. I find the story to be one of the saddest I've ever known.
+Cait Crocker that's interesting. the fact that daisy didn't even go to his funeral was something that really stuck with me. and how everyone was quick to despise Gatsby.
Hauntingly beautiful song.
I know it talks about love that has been forgotten for two long
taryn mcfarland oh really? I didn't know that... Cool😊
I hope you two in the comments are still here on earth and prosperous and full of love and happiness
This song is hauntingly beautiful....
The fact that Lana Del Rey wasn't even nominated for Oscar is an absolute crime.
“the moon knows we’re in love.” :’)
that story was a fucking masterpiece!
Young And Beautiful - Lyrics

Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?

As my stage now
Channeling angels in the new age now
Hot summer days, rock 'n' roll
The way you play for me at your show
And all the ways I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul
Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will

Dear lord, when I get to heaven
Please let me bring my man
When he comes tell me that you'll let him in
Father tell me if you can
Oh that grace, oh that body
Oh that face makes me wanna party
He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds
Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I'm not young and beautiful?
Enjoy :)

My favourite Lana del Rey's song, I could listen to it all day without getting tired of it
“You see, I usually find myself among strangers because I drift here and there trying to forget the sad things that happened to me.”
- Jay Gatsby ♡
Nabiha Asalamualaikum
this song is so beautiful, it makes me cry every time I listen to it
i wish this song was nominated in oscar for best song
It was supposed to be, someone send a fake letter to the Academy voters saying that the song wasn't eligible for some reasons... That was a low blow. She deserved at least a nomination.
mavricksone
It was probably "lorde" whatever that chick's name is. Sad, I wish it didn't happen.
It wasn't. That's bull crap. Those award shows are so annoying.
Meee toooo
I can't believe lana del rey makes me feel nostalgia for things I've never lived
I love this song so much, I don't even know why. Every time I listen to it, I just feel like it's my favorite song ever.
This song summarizes how Gatsby didn't really love Daisy.
The book/movie is suppose to be about the American Dream. When you read/watch it, it's easy to buy into the idea that Gatsby is that dream's physical representation: he's rich, he's beloved, he has the cars, the clothes, and the giant mansion -- more wealth than anyone could ever want or know how to spend, -- but he isn't the American Dream. Daisy is, because Gatsby simply isn't happy with what he has -- HE NEEDS MORE. HE NEEDS HER. People who believe in that Dream only see this ideal, to the point that nothing and no one else matters. They will do and sacrifice anything to get what they want, just like Gatsby. Everything he had was meaningless to him: all those people at his parties were pawns, even Nick; none of them really mattered to Gatsby. Only Daisy mattered.
So if you look close enough, you'll see that Gatsby didn't really love Daisy because he loved the IDEA of her, he loved what she represented, for the same reason that people love the idea of the American Dream. They don't really want the house, the dog, the white picket fence: they want the perfect life and the perfect partner to live it with, when no such thing and no such person exists. That's why Daisy was deliberately written to seem so perfect herself: she's young, she's lively, she's wealthy and powerful - along with all the happiness that promises to bring. That's why this song is even sadder than it lets on: "will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?" We don't know. It implies that even if they were together, Daisy and Gatsby wouldn't have been happy. Why? Because it's a lie. Because he doesn't love her. Because the American Dream is just that...it's a DREAM.
The Great Gatsby (the person) wasn't that great. He was incredibly flawed, delusional, and callous, to the point that he was willing to ruin a family. I will always love him as a character, but just as Gatsby didn't deserve to die, no one deserves to be with someone who doesn't love them for who they really are. We are people, not someone else's fantasy.
My American dream is my crush..
Wow!! Thar was deep and totally makes sense!!
Agreed. Couldn't have said it better myself.
The whole movie was about idealism which is why the film looked so dreamy and outwordly and lavish. The characters were projecting that ideal to cope with their inner pain.
this comment is exactly why this book is taught in english class lol
This song's beauty and what it did for the Daisy & Gatsby love/reconnecting scene almost makes up for the anachronistic train wrecks that were the rap songs Jay-Z shat across the movie. They completely jarred me out of the Roaring '20s in the worst way possible.
I loved everything you hated :)
Good. Balanced has been restored to the Gatsbian Universe. :)
The reason they put hip hop into the movie is because they wanted people to know the feeling that those in the twenties felt when they heard Jazz. At the time Jazz was looked upon the same way hip hop is looked upon today so, they wanted to represent this feeling.
***** this is true!
***** If the new generation cannot connect with Jazz, then we may as well call them the soulless generation. Jazz is soul. The 20s were full of soul. To convince the masses about the feeling of the twenties would be to remind them of the roots of all music that has heart, not replace it with songs that one day 100 years from now, future generations will question how we allowed our roots to fall away.
That's what the rap music does to any movie like this. Those who hated the scenes with a rap layover are the ones who still have soul and still have heart. Those who thought they were perfect with that atrocious music are severely out of touch.
I’ll forever remember a beautiful young girl that died in 2013 when this came out and her mother played this song at her funeral. Her daughter always told her to play a love song at her funeral and this was it…😢
Released a year ago today! Lets take a moment to appreciate one of Lana's best pieces of work :)
When this song played in the movie while Leo was throwing the clothes down at Daisy, CRAZY EMOTIONAL FEELS. WOW.
Omg this song is so.. Perfect ! This movie breaks my heart
right? the sads is real
lmfao me too dragonfreak357
I wanna watch it again
This song makes you cry even when you arent sad even though it represents everything we search for
🙏🏼
“He had one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life.”
Lana Del Rey, , your voice is like magic .I hear this song almost every day, my kids ask me what's so special about this song , I tell them when you come to that age you will understand it all. Thank God for that voice he has blessed you with.
this song makes me cry every time, it perfectly embodies the sadness of that tragic story
This woman is brilliant, as a male I have more respect for this woman than any other mainstream female artist, she's unique and has an ability to tap into my emotions which is something that is actually very difficult for me to do normally.
And a clap to the most honest make there is.
Amen brother...she is amazing this song makes me think about my future wife
Luis Ornelas Indeed.... indeed my friend
Luis Ornelas ahhh the cringe
If you're thinking about someone while listening to this song, just forget it, you're in love.
...so true!
J Witt Who's she/he? :)
He is too far away right now.. :( But, I / We have faith in the universe- Distance means nothing!
mine's my ex :( i miss him more than anything but he hates me
CosplayingOtaku Oh No :( what happened?
It's the fear that leads to many tragedies. The fear that, no matter how much you have in life, and no matter how much they make you happy, even if you KNOW some of it will still be there as you grow older, you can't help but feel like it could all just up and disappear from your life at any moment. It's the kind of fear that makes you desperate to hold onto what you can while it's still there. While you're still young.
I never got to tell her. Now I'm suffering, I feel like soon their will never be enough time for me to get huh chance, I'm dying out so young age, I must think now but. . I can't I'm the only .. I should foreget about it, this song is scary to think about. I never told how I felt.
I don’t even want to hold on Bc I can’t bare to go through all the pain
The only sad thing about this song is that it ends. ❤️
This song is powerful, so much emotion... you can feel it in your chest. I'm glad I get to live in the era of Leo's performing career. Everything he is in is top notch acting material. The Great Gatsby is my favorite movie in at least the last 10 years. It has this pristine clarity to it with the visuals and I love the characters throughout the movie. Everything, the actors/actresses, the story, the music... all perfectly put together.
Oh this song is so beautiful and emotional !! The words are such a beautiful choice and the movie is phenomenal
this movie is masterpiece it's a strange it wasn't even nominated for Oscar.
2:56 he is my sun. Hi makes my shine, like diamonds 😭
Me and my husband danced to this song at our wedding. He surprised me with this and I've never cried harder in my life.
Have been listening to this for 5 months straight
You and I both, buddy.
tesniiem Me too! Asalamualaikum
Still listening..
I love her songs and voice. I like the message in the song. It makes you think about the person that you're with and want to ask them: "Will you still love me when I'm old and my looks have faded?"
I lost my brother 4 weeks ago. Oh goodness this song really resonates. May he beat in our heart and live forever as Christ kives in us ❤
I was telling my friend I really wanted to watch The Great Gatsby since I hadn't seen it before, and she says "Don't it's stupid." And tells me the ending. I seriously wanted to punch her. I love the movie and I adore Lana. This song is perfect for the movie. It always gives me chills when I hear it, especially the beginning for some reason.
Well, many of us have known the ending as its one of the greatest books of all time. Many read it in high school. It's doesn't at all change the fact that it's an amazing movie and tge ending still gets to you even though you know it's coming!!!
Madie Thompson That is NOT a friend.
Heather Embrey I agree a 100% I thought the book was pretty good and even though I was skeptical about the movie at first, after I watched it I had a new found love for the story. This movie made me appreciate the book so much more. If anybody has not seen it, you need to
Top notch movie. Your mate just seems stupid tbh
Madie Thompson
This was a great movie in my opinion. Very great acting and nicely written
I love everything about this movie, and i watched it in 2015, i can't believe my self how could i miss such a great movie ...
+Anthony Gunawan its such a great movie. i love it so much
the movie is so great.
I just watched it today and I thought I was a movie buff.
The old movie , the new movie , the book and this song is a masterpiece ‼️😍
Even in his literal last moments he thought Daisy was calling him. She wasn’t. She didn’t even show to his funeral. The love she had for her was unmatched and the fact she betrayed him and had a kid with the little bastard was such a betraying moment. I cried.
Her voice is magic...beautiful..
The bassline shows true power and the brilliancy of Gatsby...
The instruments show pure beauty and pull you in a way nothing else can....
This song...is true love....
This song...is what I want my crush to sing to me....right before I tell her I love her...
Because, despite what anyone may say, she will always...be young and beautiful to me..
The lyrics,the music, the voice -omg! This is what I imagine heaven would play. A music that touches the essence of your soul
I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER LANA
I want this song as my wedding march. Walking down the aisle, seeing the man of my dreams happy and smiling waiting for me at the altar.
@@saturnine1987 💀
I hope you get the most enchanting wedding :3 🤍
This song is like heaven sent a musical note down to earth and dissolved into this song. It has so much soul, so much compassion, so much depth. It's both both sad and happy at the same time. It's sung with so much heart it sends chills throughout your body and engulfs your heart in its beauty. A moving song fit with a moving movie, both quite underrated (the movie more so). The love in her voice is real, the angelic-ness and classic soul radiating from the background Instrumental all bring this masterpiece together. Into one, unforgettable, ballad of love. It may grow old but will forever remain Young and Beautiful.
i’m convinced this song is more than music, this is what you hear when entering heaven.
This song has contributed so much to the making of The Great Gatsby for me, the story and editing and everything is amazing but when this version of Young and Beautiful was added it made the movie perfect.
plucked so gently from the deepest parts of my soul....completion and ethereal bleed...
I always loved the book the great Gatsby, I've read it a million times, I remember reading it in English in 6th grade all the way to now. It gets me every time, the movie felt so much different, but the love was still so true, Leonardo DiCaprio is my favorite actor and he beautifully portrayed the love Gatsby felt for Daisy and the extent of it's truth. But this song is so beautiful it almost doesn't feel like music, more like a beautiful scene to be imagined, and I love it so much.
The Great Gatsby is a magical movie. And your songs are angelic in it.
The scene during this song was playing and I could feel everybody in my classroom was touch by this song
I can’t believe this song could make me feel this feeling
Seeing Lana performing this song during her concert in Brazil was by far one of the most memorable and unforgettable moments of my life. The crowd of people was singing along with her with so much spirit and passion.
I don't care how old my love's body is in years. Whoever she is, she will always be young and beautiful to me. It's the heart and soul of the person that counts, and if those two essential elements stay young and beautiful, the person who owns them shall be too.
That's what I think the song is about - the haunting instrumentals, the hauntingly beautiful vocal delivery, and the unique vocal poetry that seems to be a bit lacking in most modern music (at least to me). It all adds to a beautiful song
