仍在愛戀時，身在爭吵不休的當下，這首歌很能表達絕望的心境。
遙想那不成熟的愛情，想要再維繫，彼此間卻已存在太多嫌隙；
要挽回已不可能……對方已想盡辦法斷絕一切關係。
而最終也沒得選擇，只得結束，
就像在燃燒的房間裡慢舞，感受那窒息的浪漫將彼此燃燒殆盡。
致那段隨時間逝去、曾屬於彼此的愛情。
而如今只能深埋心底，對誰也不提。
另外，為了重現當時的情緒，
這首還是要配喬登哥（Steve Jordan）沉穩的鼓聲比較動聽，是不？

Slow Dancing In A Burning Room
在燃燒的房間裡慢舞
It's not a silly little moment
這不是耍迷糊的幸福瞬間
It's not the storm before the calm
也不是暴風雨前的寧靜
This is the deep and dying breath of
這是沉重的最後一口氣
This love that we've been workin on
我們那持續掙扎的愛情
Can't seem to hold you like I want to
看來已無法像我想的那樣抱著妳
So I can feel you in my arms
然後感受妳在我的臂膀裡
Nobody's gonna come and save you
沒有人會來救妳
We pulled to many false alarms
我們發出太多假警訊
We're going down
我們正在墜落
And you can see it too
而妳也可以預期
We're going down
我們正在墜落
And you know that we're doomed
而妳知道我們已註定分離
My dear

We're slow dancing in a burning 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
寶貝，妳是我此生見過唯一的光明
I'll make the most of all the sadness

You'll be a bitch because you can

You'll try to hit me just to hurt me

So you leave me feeling dirty
然後留下我一人感到骯髒
cause you can't understand
因為妳無法體諒
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
Go cry about it why don't you
為此大哭一場啊妳，為何不？
Go cry about it why don't you
Go cry about it why don't you
My dear
We're slow dancing in a burning room
Burning room, burning room
Don't you think we oughta know by now
妳不認為我們現在該看清了嗎？
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
妳不認為我們該學到什麼嗎？
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

後記：
這是首#C小調，用吉他彈的話，初學者用Capo夾第四格，
彈唱只要記住兩個旋律進行，6m 6m 4 1跟5 5 6m 4，
稍微進階一點可以利用開放移動和絃來彈。
最終版當然是像梅爾哥一樣，在和絃中加勾搥滑抖音來潤色，
不加Capo用封閉的方式在第四格彈C指型的和絃就是了。
Youtube有很多教學影片喔。

- little moment - 小幸福時刻
