Music for The Great Gatsby

To describe Daisy as a character I choose Material Girl by Madonna. In the song she talks about the man with the money always being Mr. Right which is exactly why Daisy picks Tom, for his money, instead of Gatsby, for love. 

Another song that I picked is If I Could Be Like That by 3 Doors Down. This songs talks about wanting to be in someone else's shoes (or having the girl) and that she would be just as happy if it were him instead another guys in those shoes. This Song relates to Gatsby wanting to be in Tom's shoes. He has everything he can possibly get, besides old money, to make Daisy happy and he knows he can make her happy. 

Don't Stop Believing by Journey is another song I though would work in this book. It would work at the end when Gatsby never gives up on Daisy. He always expects her to call even up until he is shot. He never ever gave up on is dream of getting Daisy someday. 

I think that a great overall song for The Great Gatsby, or a theme song would be Lying Eyes by the Eagles. It talks about a girl marrying for money but having an affair because she doesn't love him. It covers the main plot of Daisy's role in the story.
