Firework. (Revisited)

So exactly a month ago I posted about the song 'Firework' by Katy Perry as it was Guy Fawkes Night. Click here to read the post.

But for 19 year old Lauren Matthews, this song has helped her a lot lately.

She explains:

"These lyrics have really helped me recently:

"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag

Drifting through the wind

 Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin

 Like a house of cards

One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep 

Six feet under screams 

But no one seems to hear a thing

Do u know that there's still a chance for you 

Cause theres a spark in you 

You just gotta ignite the light 

And let it shine 

Just own the night 

Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework"

I still love this song and I think the lyrics are so inspirational :)

Which you can see for yourself!

Thankyou Lauren for sharing your song :)

Firework.

So it's Guyfawkes Night! - It felt appropriate to write about Katy Perry's 'Firework' :)

So we all saw the less-than-flattering performance on X Factor.. 
But I'm not going to sit here and talk about how I don't like Katy Perry or whatever most people do on the internet nowadays because to be honest I'm a bit of a fan. And not to mention that this song 'Firework', personally gets me motivated and makes me smile, (especially on a bad day). :)

Anyway, I happened to be looking through Youtube and found 'the story behind Firework' which has made me respect Katy even more.

Check it out :)

"I think that in life people are challenged to get to where they wanna be, to reach their goals. And hopefully they can hear this song and find out that those challenges aren't really difficult to get past."

The lyrics in particular are very simple yet inspiring. Not to mention the instrumentation - where the strings and quirky synths make it much more interesting than the typical happy 'pop song'.

Here are my favorite lyrics from the song:

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again


- - -


You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July


Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth


Boom Boom Boom
Even Brighter than the 
Moon Moon Moon


If you're unfamiliar with the song?
 I think you should listen & watch the video now :)!




Not only is this one of my favorite songs at the moment but I think it's capable of making you feel better on a bad day :)


Thanks for reading :) xx
