Fireworks

[Leicht]

I think the song give a powerful message, don't you think so? =D

[DragonFire]

She did this live on the X-Factor 2-3 weeks ago, awesome song.

[Greedya]

Nice. Thank you.

[Mikie]

This song is fantastic. It's currently my new jam. Katy Perry songs have a way of doing that to me. Like listening to them on repeat a bunch of times. I'm doing a dance combo for my jazz class to this song =).

[Zeoanne]

That vid is awesome! Gave my eyes some moisture, especially with the lonely guy at the party when he kissed the other one. I really love Perry's music.

[PrivateTim]

Lovely, but this has more meaning to me and message that really speaks to me.

 

 

I am what I am

I am my own special creation.

So come take a look,

Give me the hook or the ovation.

It's my world that I want to take a little pride in,

My world, and it's not a place I have to hide in.

Life's not worth a damn,

'Til you can say, "Hey world, I am what I am."

I am what I am,

I don't want praise, I don't want pity.

I bang my own drum,

Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty.

And so what, if I love each feather and each spangle,

Why not try to see things from a diff'rent angle?

Your life is a sham 'til you can shout out loud

I am what I am!

I am what I am

And what I am needs no excuses.

I deal my own deck

Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces.

There's one life, and there's no return and no deposit;

One life, so it's time to open up your closet.

Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say,

"Hey world, I am what I am!"

 

This song changed my life.

[Rilbur]

On firework, I wonder what it says about me that the single strongest scene in it -- to me -- is where the kid steps between his fighting parents.

 

It's a touching song, but that makes me wonder about myself.

[*HJ*]

I really love her music. What is so wonderful about this song is that it has a powerful message embedded into a wonderful party song, which reaches an even bigger group of people. Love it

[Guest brileyblue11]

I love that song so much. Sometimes i feel like a loser, without any worth in this world but when I saw the video and hear firework, I felt like my strength was back again

 

"Baby you're a firework, come on show em' what you're worth"

 

I love the part when two guys kissed each other.

 

I love the lyrics also. Totally inspires me.

 

love Katy Perry

[Tipdin]

Holy catz! I've heard the song but never paid attention to it. Watching the video, I had tears in my eyes! I love it!

[old bob]

what two wnderful songs .

 

I should try to find such songs in my mothertongue, French.....

 

I found one, here the translation in English :

 

Malchik gay - Malchik gay

Malchik - Malchik

Handsome - Tender - Soft

Why do you look right through me

thinking "No"

I can't deny my feelings

Growing strong

I try to keep believing

dreaming on

And every time I see you

I crave more

I wanna pull you closer

closer - closer - closer

but you leave me feeling frozen

Malchik gay - Malchik gay

I can be all you need

Won't you please stay with me

Malchik gay - Malchik gay

Apologies, might-have-been's

Malchik gay - Malchik gay

can't erase what I feel

Malchik gay gay - Malchik gay

Malchik gay - Malchik gay

Malchik - Malchik

 

Choking - Back emotion

I try to keep on hoping for a way;

a reason for us both to come in close

I long for you to hold me

like your boyfriend ... does

and though my dream is

slowly fading

I wanna be the object

object - object - object

of your passion, but it's hopeless

 

Malchik gay - Malchik gay

I can be all you need

Won't you please stay with me

Malchik gay - Malchik gay

Apologies, might-have-been's

Malchik gay - Malchik gay

can't erase what I feel

Malchik gay gay- Malchik gay

 

Malchik gay - Malchik gay

I can be all you need

Won't you please stay with me

Malchik gay - Malchik gay

Apologies, might-have-been's

Malchik gay - Malchik gay

can't erase what I feel

Malchik gay gay - Malchik gay

 

and another one, by the Pet Shop Boys (2001) :

 

I was backstage

Couldn't believe my luck was in

I saw him approach

wearing the most approachable grin

When he said "Hello" I was surprised

He spoke so politely

I said I'd liked the show

Well, he just smiled

I guess it happens nightly and so

I fell in love We went to his room

He had a video camera

I was so nervous

I had to try hard not to stammer vHe said "I'm glad you liked the show.

That crowd was dope out there tonight"

"Alright"

"You wanna see some more?

Well, be my guest

You can have a private performance.

I'd fallen in love"

 

I didn't ask why

though he seemed like such a regular guy

He said we could be secret lovers

just him and me

then he joked, "Hey man

you're name isn't Stan, is it?

We should be together"

And he was passionate

I guess I would rate

him a nine out of ten

I'd fallen in love

 

When I've asked

why have I heard I so much

about him being charged

with homophobia and stuff

he just shrugged

 

Next morning we woke (secret lovers)

He couldn't have been a nicer bloke

All the breakfast made jokes

about Dre and his homies and folks

Neither of us asked if or when

we would see each other again

But I thought that was cool

'cause I was allready late for school

By then

I'd fallen in love

Holy catz! I've heard the song but never paid attention to it. Watching the video, I had tears in my eyes! I love it!

 

Me, too! Wow. I don't think I'll hear that song again without really listening to it.

[West Coast Dude]

I notice her song is used as background music for a lot of movies, I watched like 5 rom-coms this week and it was at least in two! Can't remember the names though...

[babyjace_2142]

love her, I will marry her

[Nephylim]

John Barrowman... what can I say WOOF WOOF WOOF. If only he wasn't gay.... Mind you Katy Perry... If only she was

 

I Am What I Am is a song I have been singing LOUDLY in the shower for years and it ALWAYS makes me feel better.

 

As for Firework I have to admit that like others I have listened and never heard... it's crazy how much a video can change the meaning of a song.

 

Thank you
