Obviously the lyrics refer to The Great Gatsby but I'm not sure I buy that it is from Daisy's point of view. If you closely study the book, Daisy is not only always wearing WHITE, her car is white (when she meets Gatsby) and the color white is supposed to relate to her own unique innocence. The color white is always emphasized with Daisy for a purpose. If the person singing is Daisy, then why does she emphasize the color yellow?
The "yellow dress" alludes to Chapter 3 at Gatsby's first party where the twin girls are in yellow dresses. The girls are mentioned numerous times and late in the night one ends up "playing the piano" with a tall red-haired young lady. When I first heard this song, that's immediately what I thought of.
I guess if the voice in the song was supposed to be about Daisy, the composer should have used the color white instead of yellow.
The yellow dress being torn is in the book someone says they tore theirs and gatsby sent a fixed or new one the next morning. i think it's there just to relate to the book but also the meaning of the color yellow happiness and peace and it was torn
