Joji - Slow Dancing in the Dark (Cover) 

The beginning reminds me of Minecraft music.

*i DoN't WaNt A FriEnD, I WaNt A CiTrUs FriEnD.*

what. cavetown makes a cover of a joji song? my life is complete

POV: you overhear the quiet kids in the band room while you’re walking out of school, and you decide to stay and listen.

lovely 💕

His voice for me is like leaning on your friend’s shoulder while riding back in the car from a day away from home, it’s dark out and your eyes are slowly drooping closed.

Robbie seems like the guy in middle school everyone secretly wanted to be friends with because he's so cool. Keep up the good work man. Stay wholesome.

I gotta stop falling in love with these type of guys.

Rip young cavetown's voice

Wow, Joji and Cavetown, my two faves, I might cry

I am becoming obsessed with Cavetown.. *and I’m so happy about it*

Literally everyone: depression has entered the chat Me: happy crying This song just gives me a feeling of nostalgia but a happy nostalgia. Like something bad happened but for a reason. :)

this is so fuckkng *_beautiful_* I have no other words. oh my lord.

Damn you can really read our Joji Stan’s minds

robbie and simi: playing notes on an instrument while singing and having to hear the other person play and sing different things but still sounding perfect me the whole time watching this, appalled: “my poor little raisin of a brain could never...”

Me: listening to joji Me: sees cavetown joji cover Me: hell yeah! Cavetown!

His voice reminds me of sunlight ya know that feeling when you aren’t thinking of anything your heads just empty and you can feel the sunlight shining down on you and that’s the only form of warmth. With an empty min you just let the warmth wash over you as you get lost in songs that give you that same feeling.

Watch till the absolute end of the video, there is a VERY important message at the VERY end of the video. That’s my Ted talk

When u break up with minecraft girlfriend

The original song is like a mixture of Cavetown's vibe and a deeper version of blackbears voice and it's beautiful

I love how whenever you cover a song you still make it in your own style ahh. Also this girl is lovely please more music with her

I would just like to loudly appreciate the clarity of the simplicity in this song It really helps you have full focus on the vocals which are just S0 damn good Your voices just melt together like butter

joji and cavetown... two of my favorite artists in one song. this is the definition of perfection

I love him so much because his voice fits so beautifully with this, he’s the most calming person I’ve ever met (saw him July 2019) and he feels like such a friend in so many ways. If your urge to hug him is this great now, wait til you see him perform live in front of your eyes! Edit: I saw him in February 2020 (this comment was originally written before I saw him in February) :)

when ur fav artist covers ur fav song oml

Thanks for playin w me love U

This does put a smile to my face -Thanos

Sounds like Finn and Princess Bubblegum singing Slow Dancing in the Dark Edit: Or Flame Princess lol

I think we’ve ALL slow danced in the dark

the visuals in this are extraordinary

0:00 I actually did that during finals and my whole class stared at me

I don't want a friend (just me) I want my life in two (my life in two) Just one more night Waiting to get there Waiting for you (all night) I'm done fighting all night (waiting for you) When I'm around slow dancing in the dark Don't follow me, you'll end up in my arms You have made up your mind I don't need no more signs Can you? Can you? Give me reasons we should be complete You should be with him, I can't compete You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well Can't you see? (Can't you see?) I don't wanna slow dance (I don't want to slow dance) In the dark Dark When you gotta run Just hear my voice in you (my voice in you) Shutting me out of you (shutting me out of you) Doing so great (so great, so great) You Used to be the one (used to be the one) To hold you when you fall Yeah, yeah, yeah (when you fall, when you fall) I don't fuck with your tone (I don't fuck with your tone) I don't wanna go home (I don't wanna go home) Can it be one night? Can you? Can you? Give me reasons we should be complete You should be with him, I can't compete You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well Can't you see? I don't wanna slow dance (I don't want to slow dance) In the dark Dark In the dark Dark

not to be dramatic but i would die for them

I bought my little brother one the fig beanies you're wearing at the Glasgow show and he won't take it off. He was so excited when he saw you wearing it

Gonna tell mt kids this was Ed Sheeran.

Why do I like this more that the original

Nobody: Me:stares at the butt in the background the whole time

i fucking love simi so much she's so cute !!

Why does Robbie just radiate love? Like everything he does is so sweet and smol and wholesome. I want to hug this lad

2:38 that run is just wow

4:03 the guy is so confused he's like "where the hell am i?" like he was kidnapped lmao

"You belong with him, I can't compete." Ha Me either

My story starts here. And you always helped me robbie. I was 10 when cutting myself came in. I was took away from my own sister. My real mom left me for good. I went with my real dad stayed with him for about 7 years. I started visiting my real mom at age 8. I was really happy. But every time I asked to talk to her she would just say maybe later then never talk with me. My sister was always there. She was the reason I was happy. Age 9 I stopped seeing my real mom me and my real dads house was a mess and I did't know who I was anymore and I was just. Upset. I wasn't the girl I wanted to be at all. Eventually I decided I didn't want to be a girl I was about to change. Never did because I had friends tell me I was beautiful the way I am. Age 10......I got took away from my stepdad and real mom because I was upset and my real dad sent me off to my aunt that abused me. This was because he couldn't take care of me anymore and I understood. At first my aunt never abused me I was perfectly fine. Then things flopped and I got depressed. She would hit me with high heels, she would throw things at me and she even almost crushed my arm. My cousins told lies on me she believed and always hurt me. Besides one. He was always there for me we did everything together and I was enjoying it. Then. I found out that "I wasnt worth a lot" I dont know how but I ended up taking knives,razors,etc anything that was sharp and I would cut my skin open. 11 came around I went to another one of my aunt's. She didn't abuse me. But somehow I kept thinking I wasn't worth anything. So I kept cutting. Well after 8 months I moved back with my dad. The house wasnt a mess. Then. It flipped. The house was a mess. My arms had cuts. I didnt do anything but play my phone. Then a person took me. She told me that I would have to stay with her for a while. Well the house came clean and it was fine. But I was told...that I couldnt leave til im 18. I was upset I don't like being here. I still cut. But at times I am fine. And I hide. A few days ago I got into a fight with one of my friends so I ended up cutting. My sister was the reason I survived because I almost committed suicide. Well I still have those thoughts im 13 now. And upset still. But somehow. A friend online I talk to showed me a song of cavetowns called "this is home" and ever since I just listen to his songs to feel better. And it helps. He keeps me safe. The reason Im not dead yet is because I am with my best friend. To cavetown: if you read this. Yay! If you dont thats okay. But dont mind mt story. Dont pin it dont share it. Honestly. I dont even like sharing my own stories. But if you can relate I want you to know your not alone. Every year at least a lot of teens commit suicide. Because thier parents either let it slip by like mine did. Or they couldnt handle it. But I want everyone out there to know they are not alone. Thats basically My story. Your skin isnt paper so dont cut it Your face isnt a mask. So dont hide it. Your life isn't a film...so..dont..end.......it

Why does everyone have such an amazing personality and so much talent

the only cover of this song that matters, breathe if you agree

Can you please make a new cover with Chloe💞 You’re voices fit so perfectly together ♥️

you guys dont understand how much i love his accent

his voice is like laying on your bed, earbuds in, talking to that person. not necessarily your crush, just that one person you can talk to for hours before realizing its morning. its like that.

i love how pure robin's comment section always is, it's so nice omg

i wanna slow dance in the dark to this

I feel like cavetown should be a entire new genre of music

Another one for the sleep playlist

this is incredible. your voice adapts so well to every different song! and yours and simi's voices work so well together!

The dislikes were people who were stuck in the dark ~thanks for the likes~

Found this again after 3 years and it’s still as beautiful as I remember

So me and my boyfriend went to a school dance and for the most part they only played trashy rap (not that all rap is trashy but those songs were) but they played slow dancing in the dark and we danced to it and it makes my gay little heart happy everytime I hear it.

i’m c r y i n g like there are genuine tears coming out of my eye holes

I'm a joji fan and I love love love your songs and cover. The visuals are aesthetically pleasing.

Yo he just like gives of such a like cool highschool guy who's also really wholsome and sweet

This is just what I needed, two of my favorite music artists and my favorite song all in one video and I absolutely love it!

[Verse 1] I don't want a friend (Just one more night) I want my life in two (My life in two) Please one more night Waiting to get there Waiting for you (Waiting for you) Just one more night I'm done fighting all night [Pre-Chorus 1] When I'm around slow dancing in the dark Don't follow me, you'll end up in my arms You done made up your mind I don't need no more signs Can you?

me: :( cavetown: me: :)

Pov You're the popular kid, you pass by the music club room after club activities have almost ended. You have been assigned the duty to check on everyone before you knocked the door, You could hear two faint voices , talking, you decide to listen as your shy crush is also in the music club but you never got to see them because other populars didn't let you near anyone else. Your heart stopped as you heard your crush's voice. The song starts and you're mesmerized by the voices , a pang of jealousy in your heart as you hear a female voice harmonise with your crush's voice. The song ended with the most beautiful note you've probably ever heard. The two people in the club room start giggling. You don't know why your heart felt heavy after hearing them giggle together. This song definitely was sung from your pov by by someone else, the girl who was singing with them probably was the one who you saw with your crush all the time. You walk away, head hanging low , oh how you being popular stole your chance to be with the love of your life. "I hope she isn't seeing anyone" "You've been singing this for her?" "Yeah" Thank you for reading the most confusing pov arghhhh I can't English at all anymore

my pinterest: cavetown my yt: cavetown my tiktok: cavetown my phone: cavetown *aggressively streams 4 hour cavetown playlist*

Beautiful harmonies!! GO SIMI !! x

Arnold from Magic School Bus SNAPPED

this specific cover gives me such potent nostalgia, I would listen to this one on loop for such long periods of time when I was younger and sad, thank you for all of the memories Robbie

legend has it that to this day taha is still trying to find the post office...

You picked the right person to collab with! She's hella good;

robin grew up to be one handsome boi

I can't emphazise enough how much I love your voice, and for some reason, it strikes me even more in this cover... Your own songs and cover are so soothing and relaxing to me, thank you caveboy!

HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS UNTIL NOW??

I've never felt so much at once whilst simultaneously feeling the calmest I've ever been. What a bittersweet concoction. 10/10 would experience again.

Joji can you believe it? You’re inspiring others. I hope you’re happy. I hope you are somewhere out there, proud of everything that’s happening with your personal life. I wish you the best Joji, we miss you. I wish you could see how much you’ve inspired people and how much you’ve gradually moved them in awkward and beautiful ways, your filthy frank videos always made me smile-but your emotional songs always made me smile in a way I didn’t understand. I’m glad you went on RU-vid, and I’m glad you continued to follow your dreams. I miss you, we all do.

Both of my favorite artists

this sounds like when you are really sad and crying and your BF/GF/SO are there just comforting you and listening to what you have to say this is so beautiful

YOUR VOICE SOUNDS BETTER THAN MY FUTURE- I commented this before but it's amazing

your music inspires me ❤️

I watch this video over a year ago.. and still havent bored watching this over and over again

this is beautiful. the vocals, the beat, everything. i started crying, this is a work of art

*um why is this now my new obsession?* *i love both cavetown and joji so this is great uwu*

ugh simis vocals rlly make this😍😭😭

Omg you both did so good ahhhh this came out really nice and relaxing 💖💖

this is the type of music that just relaxes me and makes me feel like I’m gently falling or sinking, and when it’s a cover made by robbie, i sink even deeper

Ugh if only covers were on Spotify too :’(

Its 5 in the morning, I can't sleep and this made me cry. Its so beautiful.

this is the first time I feel like the cover is better than the original

Lyrics :) I don't want a friend (just me) I want my life in two (my life in two) Just one more night Waiting to get there Waiting for you (all night) I'm done fighting all night (waiting for you) When I'm around slow dancing in the dark Don't follow me, you'll end up in my arms You have made up your mind I don't need no more signs Can you? Can you? Give me reasons we should be complete You should be with him, I can't compete You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well Can't you see? (Can't you see?) I don't wanna slow dance (I don't want to slow dance) In the dark Dark When you gotta run Just hear my voice in you (my voice in you) Shutting me out of you (shutting me out of you) Doing so great (so great, so great) You Used to be the one (used to be the one) To hold you when you fall Yeah, yeah, yeah (when you fall, when you fall) I don't fuck with your tone (I don't fuck with your tone) I don't wanna go home (I don't wanna go home) Can it be one night? Can you? Can you? Give me reasons we should be complete You should be with him, I can't compete You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well Can't you see? I don't wanna slow dance (I don't want to slow dance) In the dark Dark In the dark Dark

rob and simis voice go together like butter and toast yo

I need this on Spotify nowwww

This is one of those massively popular songs that is truly just a great song

When your waiting for your Club Penguin boyfriend in pizza parlor but you guys are on different servers:

You guys have perfect harmony and it just lit up my whole day

this version touches me so much more than the original for some reason. maybe it’s robin’s voice but you can hear the pain and it just makes me think about how everything in my life is falling apart. the way he sings give me reasons we should be complete you should be with him i can’t compete you looked at me like i was someone else just hurts me because those are the very lines that get me every time and really remind me of how nothing is going right. idk but i love this song so much and i love robin and this cover :’) the feeling of it is so similar and equal to the original but i feel the difference in the qualities of robin’s voice and joji’s voice make them so drastically difference despite how nearly congruent they are

"I'm coming back to visit my cat whom I love very much" -goals

Wow i was obsessed with this cover back than, can't believe youtube recomended it again to me. actually it's really nostalgic, it feels a life time ago

*I want to marry your voice*

i really don't understand how ppl actually dislike this video. they're voices complimented each other's so well. you're doing amazing sweetie

THIS IS AMAZING, all emotions wrapped into one cover!!!

okay its settled. im in love with cavetown.
