Because a movie falls in love with a song. I have actually heard this song many times, but it was only when I saw the movie MV that I completely fell for it. "The Great Gatsby", behind the bustling scene, is this faintly sad love song. As written in the song, in the prosperous world, after everything is lost, there is only endless nothingness left. Behind the luxurious manor, the noisy dance party, and the life of the intoxicated, there are emptiness and unattainable happiness.
Gatsby standing in the midst of blooming flowers, exquisite clothes, fashionable hairstyles, and prudent actions, all of which can't hide the emptiness behind Gatsby - Xiao Li.
Lyrics translation:
Young and beautiful
youth and beauty
I've seen the world done it all, had my cake now
I see the world, experience prosperity, and enjoy the present
Diamonds, brilliant, and Bel-Air now
Diamonds, glory and mansions
Hot summer nights, mid-July when you and I were forever wild
Hot summer, hot July, you and I are endlessly crazy
The crazy days, the city lights, the way you'd play with me like a child
Crazy years, city lights, you and I play like children
Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
When my youth is gone and my face is withered, do you still love me
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul
Do you still love me when I have nothing and scars
I know you will, I know you will I know that you will
I know you will, you will love me still
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful
When my youth is gone and my face is withered, do you still love me
I've seen the world, lit it up as my stage now
I have seen the prosperity of the world, and now I light up my stage
Channeling angels in, the new age now
Leading Angels into a New Era
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
On a hot summer day, at the party, you tried to please me like crazy, and all I saw was your beautiful face and your electrifying soul
Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
When my youth is gone and my face is withered, do you still love me
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul
Do you still love me when I have nothing and scars
I know you will, I know you will I know that you will
I know you will, you will love me still
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful
When my youth is gone and my face is withered, do you still love me
Dear lord when I get to heaven
dear god when i enter heaven
Please let me bring my man
please allow me to take my he
When he comes tell me that you'll let me
please let him come to meet me
Father tell me if you can
can god tell me
Oh that grace, oh that body, oh that face make me wanna party
That grace, that body, that face, all make me want to sing and dance
He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds
He is my sun, he makes me shine like a diamond
Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
When my youth is gone and my face is withered, do you still love me
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul
Do you still love me when I have nothing and scars
I know you will, I know you will I know that you will
I know you will, you will love me still
