Amateur Music Review

I can't stop listening to the new John Mayer CD "Continuum"... it's a must get CD. I never thought of him to be such a skilled Jazz artist but he can pull it off and i like the variety he has on this cd. I love his acoustic repetiore but his diversity has shown another side of him!

I especially love the song, "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" It's not a particular sweet love song, in fact it's the opposite but i think this song is sheer reality for many relationships (i only assume because i have no objective or empirical research to back that up) or at least its reality that we have all probably gone through these thoughts spoken aloud or internally...

Slow Dancing In A Burning Room

It's not a silly little moment

It's not the storm before the calm

This is the deep and dyin breath of

This love we've been workin on

Can't seem to hold you like I want to

So I can feel you in my arms

Nobody's gonna come and save you

We pulled too many false alarms

We're goin down

And you can see it too

We're goin down

And you know that we're doomed

My dear

We're slow dancing in a burnin room

I was the one you always dreamed of

You were the one I tried to draw

How dare you say it's nothing to me

Baby, you're the only light I ever saw

I'll make the most of all the sadness

You'll be a bitch because you can

You try to hit me just hurt me

So you leave me feeling dirty

Because you can't understand

We're goin down

And you can see it too

We're goin down

And you know that we're doomed

My dear

We're slow dancing in a burnin room

Go cry about it why don't you

Go cry about it why don't you

Go cry about it why don't you

My dear, we're slow dancin' in a burnin' room,

Burninl room, burnin' room

Don't you think we oughta know by now

Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow

Don't you think we oughta know by now

Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow

Don't you think we oughta know by now

Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow

Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow

Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow

Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow

Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
