"Over the Love" is a song written by Florence Welch and recorded by English indie rock band Florence and the Machine for the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's 2013 film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel, ''The Great Gatsby''. It appears as the seventh track on the soundtrack. The song was released as the first promotional single from the album on April 17, 2013, available to stream on SoundCloud in the weeks leading up to the soundtrack's release. ==Composition== "Over the Love" is a baroque pop, orchestral pop and soul ballad. It builds towards the end of the song and talks about a girl crying over the love for her boyfriend and the distance that separates them. Throughout the lyrics of the song we can see symbols from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, like the yellow dress Daisy wears and the green light that appears outside her home in East Egg's dock. Moreover, the line "'Cause you're a hard soul to save with an ocean in the way, but I'll get around it" symbolizes the space between East Egg and Long Island Sound in West Egg where Gatsby awaits Daisy. An alternate interpretation would be that it is a reference to the Atlantic. It was Gatsby's service in WWI that originally separated Daisy and Gatsby. Yet another interpretation is that the line refers to Gatsby's unshakable determination which is both a source of his strength as well as the cause of his downfall. In the novel, Nick describes a woman in a yellow dress who is wailing next to the piano at the end of the first party he attended. Another woman tells Nick she "had a fight with a man who says he's her husband." Her tear-stained face is smudged with mascara and guests are telling her to sing the notes on her face. The lyrics "Now there’s green light in my eyes" and "I can see the green light, I can see it in your eyes", bring a connection to the metaphors of the green light of the lighthouse constantly described in the book. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Over the Love」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
