"Slow Dancing In A Burning Room" (Cover)

My rendition of John Mayer's "Slow Dancing In A Burning Room."

For my second video here at Odyssey I wanted to sing a different style of music, so I chose "Slow Dancing In A Burning Room" by John Mayer.

This song has no hidden meaning behind it. It's a song of heartbreak and sadness. It can be about two people in a relationship who are both feeling that this is coming to an end, but neither of them is willing to actually break up yet because of how comfortable they have been and how the reality of not being together frightens them. It can also be about unrequited love. The person could be in love with someone, while the other person either played and used them to hurt them OR just does not feel the same way.

My favorite line in this song is "How dare you say it's nothing to me-- baby you're the only light I've ever seen." I love it because to me it shows the entire feeling of hurt and how both people usually blame the other, but the person is acknowledging that there will always be a special place in their heart for the other.

Hope you guys enjoy this cover!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
