The Great Gatsby – “love is blindness” by Jack White

I love all sorts of retro and vintage – but the 20′s are probably my favourite. As it says in the Great Gatsby trailer “parties were bigger, the morals were loser and the liquor was cheaper” – ah, good times! Gatsby, Chanel, drop-waisted fringe flapper dresses, cigarette holders, bright red lipstick…aaahhh…

Leonardo in this trailer reminds me a lot of when he played Howard Hughes in “The Aviator”. I don’t really like Carey Mulligan though, she’s quite meeeh. BUT – I love Amitabh Bachchan being in The Great Gatsby, how amazing!

And I’m in love with the soundtrack, especially with title track – “love is blindness” by Jack White:

Jackson

I remember Jackson, I miss him. I have a lot of good memories of him. He was kind, he was loving, he was honest, he was caring. He worked in a bar, I used to go there to just sit at the bar and watch him and get drunk, he used to ride me home on my bike when I was really drunk and I used to sit on the handlebar while he rode the bike. We swerved through the streets of Schwabing at 3am and he always got me home safe. Sometimes I would wake up in his bed and spend the whole day at his flat, he cooked for me, he cooked really well. Jackson took care of me.

All veils and misty
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill devine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we’re leaving
Broken hearts behind

Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me

I need perfection
Some twisted selection
That tangles me
To keep me alive
In all that exists
Well, none has your beauty
I see your face
and I will survive

Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me

Eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
When i kiss you every night

All veils and misty
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill devine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we’re leaving
Yeah we’re leaving broken hearts behind

Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me

You’re eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
And they’ll kiss you every night

Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me
