LISTEN: Florence + The Machine Releases New Song “Over the Love” From The Great Gatsby Soundtrack

Florence + The Machine’s recognizable (and emotional) wail is used to it’s full effect in a song written for The Great Gatsby remake soundtrack.

This tune was written and recorded especially for this new motion picture remake. The soundtrack features artists like Jay-Z, Lana Del Rey and rising British star Emeli Sandé. And just to get everyone excited, Florence + The Machine released their exclusive track.

In this song there are several references to the movie. And even I can recognize them in “Over the Love” (admittedly, I did not actually read the book in high school). The “green light” chant towards the end of the song is a nod back to one of the most notable symbols from the book.
