The Great Gatsby: Chapter 5

I don't mind

You’re someone who ain't mine

But someone that I'll get

And you don't know how

Hard I've tried

To convince myself that I

Can easily forget

But you left this feeling

Here inside me

One that never fails to find me...

On a rainy Monday

A feeling inside me

Like the days of summer

On a rainy Monday

I feel it inside me

In the hopes of one day

I won't lie

I still can't say that I

Admit we went too far

And you won't see me change my mind

But I really wish that I

Could forget the way you are

But you left this feeling here inside me

The battle in my mind still fights me

I can see that you're not beside me

But I still feel you shine inside of me

The song I chose to represent chapter five of The Great Gatsby was "Rainy Monday" by The Shiny Toy Guns. I chose this song for a few reasons. The first is because on the day of the meeting between Daisy and Gatsby, the weather is terrible. It pours and pours while he waits for the moment to finally arrive. The weather in this novel reflects how Gatsby is feeling and it tends to rain a lot, especially when the topic of Daisy comes up. Another reason I chose this song is because Gatsby is purest when he is around Daisy. Rain is a symbol of purity.
