Ok.. this is the other one... Watch them and think about them.. are they the same or are they different? what's the message? Do you agree with it?
This is an example of a comment we found in you tube about this song:
Songs like this remind me that this world still has hope, and is not obsessed with money just to buy things for themselves, and that they're people out there that would want money to do things for others, instead of bathe in it. :3

Baby, you're a firework!!!! Are you a firework?... mmmm. Let's see.. how are fireworks?.. what words would you use to describe a firework?.. During this week we discussed fireworks in class. We Googled the word and we got:
Fireworks are a class of explosivepyrotechnic devices used for aesthetic and entertainment purposes. The most common use of a firework is as part of a fireworks display. A fireworks event (also called a fireworks show or pyrotechnics) is a display of the effects produced by firework devices. Fireworks competitions are also regularly held at a number of places. Fireworks (devices) take many forms to produce the four primary effects: noise, light, smoke, and floating materials (confetti for example). They may be designed to burn with colored flames and sparks including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver. Displays are common throughout the world and are the focal point of many cultural and religious celebrations. (this was taken from wikipedia)
Well, in Venezuela as well as in the United States and many parts of the world, people love fireworks. You can see an aerial fireworks show at an amusement park, baseball game, Fourth of July celebration (in the U.S.A) or on New Year's Eve. Fireworks have a special and beautiful magic all their own -- a good show is absolutely amazing.
After reading and discussing about Fireworks we ended up with a list of words and phrases:
This is from wikipedia:
* aesthetic an entertainment purposes. * fireworks display, fireworks event, fireworks show * noise, light, smoke, and floating materials (confetti for example) * burn with colored flames and sparks: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver * focal point of many cultural and religious celebrations.
If you want to see what all these words and expression mean, just press ALT + click on the right button of the mouse and you'll see the definition and have the chance to listen and practice the pronunciation of the word you are curious about. Like in the picture:
Now, watch the following video by Katty Perry
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting thought 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 scream
But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that tehre's still a chance for you
Cause there's 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
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
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
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em goin "Oh, oh, oh!"
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

You've been told so many times before that love will give up on you
Cause it has never been the kind of door that you could just walk through
And now you're so afraid and so unsure that love will fill your life
But don't believe the lie cause…
(Chorus:)
Not even for a minute
One day you will believe it
Cause I'm here and I will never give up on you
Let my love start to fill it
Let your heart start to feel it
I will never give up on you
Let me ask a simple question
What are you looking for?
Peace of mind, joy inside
Or is it something more?
Cause everything you need is waiting at the door
What are you waiting for?
You don't have to search no more cause...
I will be the one to be real with you
Cause I'm here for you
Always and forever
And I will be the one to hold your hand
I'm that kind of friend
And I will never leave, no…
On October 2 2009, 60 musicians and celebrities from around the world released a free reworked version to highlight climate change issues ahead of the United Nation's talks in Copenhagen. Singers included Lily Allen, Simon Le Bon from the '80s group Duran Duran and Bob Geldof. The former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and French actress Marion Cotillard also added their voices to the cover version.

Do you like music? ... What about James Blunt? He's one of my fav! I couldn't resist to add the lyrics to this video... So, everybody... Let's all sing.
James Blunt (born James Hillier Blount, February 221974) is a British singer-songwriter whose debut album, Back to Bedlam, and single releases — especially the number one hit "You're Beautiful" — brought him to fame in 2005. His style is a mix of pop, folk and acoustic rock. Along with vocals, James Blunt plays a wide variety of instruments including the piano, guitar, organ, marimba and mellotron. His song "You're Beautiful" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006.
Here we go again..... The first single from All The Lost Souls is called "1973" and was inspired by Blunt's nights out in a club called Pacha, in Ibiza. The song became another hit for Blunt reaching number-one in seven countries and reach the top in the European overall chart. It reached top 10 in twenty-nine countries.
Thanks so much James for so beautiful music....
