===My personal connection song is lean on me by Bill Withers, lean on me is my 8th grade graduation song. The genre of this song is soul, this song symbolizes friendship to me. It makes me think back on my closest friend how she was always there for me in times when I needed her the most especially when I was in need of someone to talk to. It just makes me remember how much of a loyal friend she was. The song to Bill Withers was basically based on the fact he didn't grow up in a big city where people actually cared in no matter what circumstances you were in, so in the song he meant if you showed kindness or an act of care he would give it back to you. ===

**" A drop in the ocean" - Personal connection song - Cynthia Tavarez** **The song i chose was a drop in the ocean by Ron Pope. I chose this song because it takes me on a ride of memory lane in my mind. This song puts me in a calm, peaceful and relaxing mood. When I listen to this song I tend to space out and think about things that make me happy. I love the chorus when he says “ a drop in the ocean a change in the weather “ I love listening to this song on gloomy days because that’s what comes to my mind when I hear it. This song is not a cover, Ron Pope did sing and write it on his own. **


 * "Firework" Personal Connection Song - Sara Ramkissoon**

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? 6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing Do you know that there'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 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework Come on, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh" As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework Come on, let your colours burst Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh" You're gonna leave 'em goin' "Oh, oh, oh"

You don't have to feel like a wasted space You're original, cannot be replaced If you only knew what the future holds After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework Come on, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh" As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework Come on, let your colours burst Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh" You're gonna leave 'em goin' "Oh, oh, oh"

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-ough-ough

'Cause baby you're a firework Come on, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh" As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework Come on, let your colours burst Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh" You're gonna 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

The genre is dance/pop. The song was written by Katy Perry along with Ester Dean. It is not a covered song because Katy Perry wrote and sang the song. Katy Perry’s message was to give the idea that she wants to be a firework, both living and dead. The message I get from this song is that everyone is unique and special no matter who they are. My personal connection to this song is that it was my graduation song. Every time I hear it, it brings back memories of my middle school years. Other people on <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline;">[|__songfacts.com__] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> think of this song as inspiring and fantastically written.


 * "The Lazy Song"**

@http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-lazy-song-lyrics-bruno-mars.html

Mars trying to make a song that was better than the Beatles. We were trying to be magical and historic. After five hours, it all turned to rubbish. The frustration got to me and I said, 'Today I don't feel like doing anything at all.' That opened up everyone's eyes.

When you're overshooting, you get the worst work. When you're relaxed, you have your best.

Jeuly Ramirez Romeo Santos - Soberbio I picked this song because this song talks about how you could have everything in the world &' you can't buy love. Love does not have a price. I picked it because having money in the world doesn't make you happy love makes you happy

Mis noches no tienen lunaSon oscuras y amargasEn esta historia que narroLa princesa se marchaPor creerla mia hoy no es mia y quizásPor tan creido y sentirme supermanIndestructible inmune a llorarMi abuelo vio el titanic que se hundió en el marY su nieto no es de hierro ni un inmortal

Un soberbio rendidoSin su amor ya ya no puedo continuarAhora entiendo que el amor no tiene precioCon fama ni dinero si quisiera no la puedo comprarEn el suelo abatido se alejo y ya no quiere regresarMe dejo una nota adentro del bolsilloDecía estas dormido pero me despido

Tengo 10 carros de lujoY una alma en penaUn palacio con todo menos la reinaY el porton abierto por si quieres volverFui prepotente me sentia supermanIndestructible inmune a llorar [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/soberbio-lyrics-romeo-santos.html ] Mi abuelo vio el titanic que se hundio en el marY Romeo no es de hierro ni un inmortal

Un soberbio rendidoSin su amor ya yo no puedo continuarAhora entiendo que el amor no tiene precioCon fama ni dinero si quisiera no la puedo comprarEn el suelo abatido se alejo y ya no quiere regresarMe dejo una nota adentro del bolsilloDecía estas dormido pero me despido

Llora guitarra mia llora... lloraaa

Tengo todo lo que el dinero pueda comprar pero no la tengo a ella

Me quiero morir

Un soberbio rendidoSin su amor ya yo no puedo continuarAhora entiendo que el amor no tiene precioCon fama ni dinero si quisiera no la puedo comprar <span class="line line-s hover" style="background-color: #e6eff8; color: #3a598f; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">En el suelo abatido se alejo y ya no quiere regresarMe dejo una nota adentro del bolsilloDecía estas dormido pero me despidoQuédate con todo aqui me despido.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The name of the song is Count on Me by Bruno Mars. The genre of this song is pop. It was written by Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence and Avi Levine. Although it was inspired by a Japanese song, this is not a covered song. This song was written by the song writers to show how a friendship works and to tell people that you should not leave your friends behind. The message that I get from this song is to support decisions that my friends make and and realize that I can rely on them and can count on them as well.This is a meaningful song because it was one of the songs that was in consideration to be played at our graduation last year. Other people felt the song is moving and has a very special meaning about friendship.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">"I Gotta Felling" By the Black Eyed Peas
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The name of the song is “I Gotta Felling” and the artists are <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">Will.i.am <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">, Apl.de.ap, Taboo, and singer Fergie. The lyrics explains how after being stressed out, there is a need to kick back and relax, and to simply have a good time. The message portrayed to me is that after a lot of stress it’s good to have fun and relax. My personal connection with this song is that this is the song at the end of my graduation when I graduated 8 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">th <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> grade. I went to the same school for 8 years and made a lot of friends there, so that song is what I have left to remember my school by.
