Slow Dancing in a Burning Room: Playlist
playlist: slow dancing in a burning room
This isn't a fanmix, per se; it's the playlist that I assembled and listened to heavily while I was writing/editing this story, and I liked it enough to want to share it. It has two "bonus" tracks: "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" by John Mayer, from which the story gets its name, and the James Bond theme as covered by Moby, which is my favorite version of that track. Enjoy. ♥

01 | when life gives me lemons I make lemonade // the boy least likely to
I've always been a hopeless romantic
things don't always go my way
but there's not a lot you can do with lemons
except make them into lemonade
02 | killer // the hoosiers
their shadows haunted me like ghosts
so I became what I feared the most
I conduct fear like electricity
a man-made monstrosity
03 | good old fashioned lover boy // queen
dining at the Ritz we'll meet at nine precisely
I will pay the bill, you taste the wine
driving back in style in my saloon will do quite nicely
just take me back to yours that will be fine
04 | womanizer // britney spears
lollipop, must mistake me, you're the sucker
to think that I would be a victim not another
say it, play it how you want it
but no way I'm never gonna fall for you, never you, baby
05 | promise // eve 6
I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind
promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine
promise not to lie if I'm looking you straight in the eye
promise not to try not to let you down
06 | closer // tegan & sara
all you think of lately is getting underneath me
all I dream of lately is how to get you underneath me
07 | sex on fire (live) // beyonce
hot as a fever, rattling bones
I could just taste it, taste it
if it's not forever, if it's just for tonight
you're still the greatest, you're still the greatest
08 | my weakness // moby
(instrumental.)
09 | brainy // the national
I've been dragging around from the end of your coat for two weeks
you keep changing your fancy, fancy mind every time I decide to let it go
I was up all night again, boning up and reading the American dictionary
you'll never believe me what I found, think I better follow you around
10 | set the fire to the third bar // snow patrol feat. martha wainwright
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
11 | skip the charades // cold war kids
can we just speak plain?
we're playing for the same team
but I'm the one that's acting like I'm so strong
you're the one that's acting like nothing's wrong
12 | no light, no light // florence + the machine
no light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
a revelation in the light of day,
you can't choose what stays and what fades away
13 | here with me // dido
I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
and I don't want to move a thing
it might change my memory
14 | like a stone // audioslave
and on I read, until the day was gone
and I sat in regret, of all the things I've done
for all that I've blessed, and all that I've wronged
in dreams until my death, I will wander on
15 | it's a disaster // ok go
it's a disaster, it's an incredible mess
but it's all we've got now, yeah it's all we got
howling with laughter, panic, alarm, and distress
but it's all we've got now, yeah it's all we got
16 | when your heart stops beating // +44
I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
in the dark when there's no one listening
in the times when we both get carried away
17 | with you in my head // unkle feat. the black angels
no giving in to taking more but still still feedin',
you're clearly disturbed, all you want is allegiance
hear them what you saw, you hear them what you saw
18 | sail // awolnation
this is how I show my love
I made it in my mind because
I blame it on my ADD, baby
19 | I found a reason // cat power
oh I do believe in all the things you see
what comes is better than what came before
20 | if I ever lose my faith in you // sting
I could be lost inside their lies without a trace
but every time I close my eyes I see your face
bonus | slow dancing in a burning room // john mayer
we're going down, and you can see it, too
we're going down, and you know that we're doomed
my dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
bonus 2 | james bond theme // moby
(instrumental.)
