Young Love & Old Money - Elizabeth Gerardi (Official Lyric Video)

“Young Love & Old Money” was written from the perspective of Daisy Buchanan in the Great Gatsby. Often when people analyze the novel or use it to inspire to their art, they are looking at Gatsby himself, but Daisy is one of the most complex characters and I was really intrigued by telling the story from her perspective.
I’ve read the novel multiple times and feel I know the characters intimately and am so proud of the lyrics I wrote for this song.
The ultimate question is did Daisy ever love Gatsby? This song tells Daisy’s story as she falls in love with Gatsby, in spite of her parents, but eventually succumbs to her greed and her love of money triumphs. We realize she is no better than the mother who tells her “A rich man’s jokes are always funny” and her father who “values the name more than the man”.
Daisy begins saying Gatsby “tastes like wealth” despite his lower class background, which is her way of saying he tastes like the most important thing in the world, but eventually she comes to the conclusion that some things just could never work together, like young love, and old money.

That was the FIRST line that jumped out to me. My parents are very money-oriented and any prospective future spouses are quizzed on the financial status. (They watched the money so well that all of us will require our spouses to sign pre-nups because of what we inherit when they pass.) So, it's always been the money over the man. Luckily, I haven't met the one, but that reminder is always in the corner of my mind. But unlike Daisy, I'd give up the money if the right guy came along.

As years pass you still cherish those days and even wonder if the name truly gave you the happiness you were expecting or just the comfort of not having to worry about anything.

I'm not gonna lie, this song was an emotional roller-coaster for me. Like, in the beginning, I thought they'd end up together but in the end, she married another dude and I'm not gonna lie, it made me tear up. But, all in all, it was an amazing song! I loved it so much. Like, I heard it on Instagram and decided to finally give it a listen and I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! Oh, the emotions and the crushing reality is just *chef's kiss*.

[Verse 1] I caught your eye and you caught my attention You like my style and I love the affection I live for the days we meet up at our hide out I've never felt so alive but we're dead if they find out [Pre-Chorus] My father was never your biggest fan Values the name more than the man Nobody nobody nobody understands [Chorus] But oh you taste like wealth Oh I'd risk my health For one more day with you This is a tricky age We're birds stuck in a cage Wish I could fly away with you We fit pеrfectly like milk and honey But somе things don't mix like young love and old money Oh oh old money Oh oh old money [Verse 2] You right all my wrongs and make all my wrongs right In the midst of a battle but it's worth the fight [Pre-Chorus] My mother says marry for money A rich man's jokes are always funny Nobody nobody nobody knows what I need [Chorus] But oh you taste like wealth Oh I'd risk my health For one more day with you This is a tricky age We're birds stuck in a cage Wish I could fly away with you We fit perfectly like milk and honey But some things don't mix like young love and old money Oh oh old money Oh oh old money [Bridge] Have you heard the news It's in the Post I almost called it off Almost I said I'd wait for you and didn't keep my promise When I spoke the words I meant them Honest But I met an Ivy League man My father offered him my hand You know my appetite is quite expensive And his summer home is so impressive You and I were made for a season Forbidden fruit that I was eating Oh poor thing don't look so blue It's what I had to do but I'll never forget you [Chorus] Oh you taste like wealth Oh I'd risk my health For one more day with you We fit perfectly like milk and honey But some things don't mix like young love and old money Oh oh old money Oh oh old money Oh oh old money Oh oh old money

Can we talk about “I caught your eye and you caught my attention” as lyrics and easily show that they were never gonna last in context of the whole song BUT when you begin to listen you think “aw that’s so cute” and makes you think they may last despite the challenges!
