Feel in the songs - Lyrics

Katy Perry - Firework


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
Because there's a spark in you
You just got to ignite, the light, and let it shine

Just own the night
Like the 4th of July
Because baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make them go "Oh, oh, oh"

As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make them go "Oh, oh, oh"

You're going to leave 'em falling down
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 could 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 got to ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

Because baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make them go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst

Make them go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're going to leave 'em falling down
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

Because baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make them go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make them go "Oh, oh, oh"

You're going to leave 'em falling down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon


Depeche Mode - Dream On

As your bony fingers close around me
Long and spindly
Death becomes me
Heaven, can you see what I see?

Hey, you, pale and sickly child
You're death and living reconciled
Been walking home a crooked mile

Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving

Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?

Dream on
Dream on

There's no time for hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it's educating

Unwanted, uninvited kin
It creeps beneath your crawling skin
It lives without, it lives within you

Feel the fever coming
You're shaking and twitching
You can scratch all over
But that won't stop you itching

Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?

Dream on
Dream on

Blame it on your karmic curse
Oh, shame upon the universe
It knows its lines
It's well rehearsed

It sucked you in, it dragged you down
To where there is no hallowed ground
Where holiness is never found

Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're giving

Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?

Dream on
Dream on


Bruno Mars - The Lazy song


Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Uh, I'm gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan

Turn the TV on, throw my hands in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I can't
I'll be lounging on the couch just chilling in my snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man
Oh yes, I said it I said it

I said it 'cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message after the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all, (woo hoo) (woo hoo) (hooooo) nothing at all
Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P9DX
Meet a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream up
This is great
(Oh my god, this is great )
Yeah, I might mess around
And get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you'll just have to wait

Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it 'cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
No, I ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all
woohoo woohoo oooo
Nothing at all
woohoo woohoo oooo
Nothing at all

Muse – Feeling good

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the tree you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when the day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

One republic – Counting stars

[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

[Verse 1]
I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

[Verse 2:]
I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is our four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Oh, oh, oh.

[Bridge 4x:]
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

[Outro 4x:]
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Calvin Harris – Feel so good

I feel so close to you right now
It's a force field
I wear my heart upon my sleeve, like a big deal

Your love pours down on me, surrounds me like a waterfall
And there's no stopping us right now
I feel so close to you right now

(dance beat plays) x3

I feel so close to you right now
It's a force field
I wear my heart upon my sleeve, like a big deal

Your love pours down on me, surrounds me like a waterfall
And there's no stopping us right now
I feel so close to you right now

(dance beat plays)

And there's no stopping us right now
And there's no stopping us right now
And there's no stopping us right now

I feel so close to you right now.....

LibreOffice /OpenOffice versus Microsoft Office Suite

Microsoft office has been giving support for the creation of Text documents, Spreadsheets, Databases, Electronic Presentations, etc.

The Office Suite works really good and there's nothing bad to say about its functionality. However, a new current of people has been developing since 2010 LibreOffice, a full suite of the same kind of products that offers exactly the same functionality with the so-important feature that dooesn't need any license to work with. This means IT'S FREE.

I'm not going to explain you this as well as Nixie Pixel, so here you can watch a video from her YouTube channel in which she's making a comparison between both suites.

Enjoy it!!

Different ways to explain Ohm's Law

Through teaching methodologies, different ways to explain Ohm's law may be applied. By using an audiovisual resource as video clips are, depending on the kind of students to take the lesson, the message could be assumed by them in different levels of cognition. A first example of explanation could be a plain explanation, based directly on the Ohm's law formula.


A second example is based on the application of the explanation by using the law directly applied to circuits


A third example, only visual and textual with no sound or voice, introduces the making of an experiment with the previous presentation of the devices required, then assembling them together with the proper measurement devices and finally, with the retrieved data from voltmeter and ammeter let students to get the resistance by inductive method.


A four example, my preferred type for students to be used to understand how to deal with the formula, magnitudes, units and effects, shows the needed visual tools, in order to put them together. The same way the student will do later alone in his/her study room.


Anyway, some people like the teacher Daniel Sullivan, tries to analyze the considerations to take before explaining Ohm's law in order to let students to achieve significant learning. His considerations are based on the fact that people sometimes dismiss the law, or teach it poorly using outdated methods.

Chesapeake Bay Impact Crater

Chesapeake Bay Impact Crater: A Cosmic Connection in Virginia

David Powars, as the presenter of the following podcast shows a talk, in which the three main points that he's going to hit are when/where the Chesapeake impact crater, so that everybody can leave here being able to tell a seven-year-old what an impact crater is and what the Chesapeake Bay impact crater is. How was it discovered? It's a unique crater. It was discovered by cores...
