Everyone that knows me knows that I’m a big American Idol fan but I also love the show “So You Think You Can Dance”. In many ways, SYTYCD is a better show than AI. One of my favorite routines came last season when Twitch & Kherington performed a memorable contemporary dance number to John Mayer’s wonderful “Dreaming with a Broken Heart”. It told the story, through music and dance, of the pain and anguish of a breakup from the male’s perspective. The imagery of the roses and the way they dance on and around the mattress was amazing.
“Dreaming With A Broken Heart”
When you’re dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for the moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?
No she’s not, ’cause she’s gone, gone, gone, gone, gone….
When you’re dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in with your crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering could you stay my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No she can’t, ’cause she’s gone, gone, gone, gone, gone….
Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh
Now do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Baby won’t you get them if i did?
No you won’t, ’cause you’re gone, gone, gone, gone, gone….
When you’re dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
