A greeting to everyone in this beautiful Open Mic community. This week, #273, we explore the theme “Firework.” I am pleased to share my trumpet performance of “Firework,” a song that blends genres like Dance and Pop, composed by Katy Perry, Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Sandy Wilhelm, and Ester Dean. This piece of music is in Ab Major, and in my case, I play it in Bb Major. The tempo is moderate, with a time signature of 4/4. This week’s theme aligns with the day of my post, July 4th, a day when the United States’ independence is celebrated with fireworks. The lyrics are an anthem of empowerment, self-acceptance, and the importance of letting each individual’s inner light shine. Feelings of insecurity are transformed into an affirmation of worth and potential. I believe that we all need to know who we are and what we can become.

Un cordial saludo para todos en esta bella comunidad del Open Mic. En esta semana #273, exploramos la temática: “Firework”. Tengo el agrado de compartir mi interpretación con mi trompeta de «Firework» una canción que mezcla géneros como el Dance y el Pop compuesta por Katy Perry, Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Sandy Wilhelm y Ester Dean. Esta pieza musical está compuesta en Ab Mayor y en mi caso la interpreto en Bb Mayor. El tempo es moderado con una cifra indicadora de compas de 4/4. La temática de la semana concuerda con el día de mi publicación, el 4 de julio, donde se celebra la independencia de Estados Unidos con fuegos artificiales. La letra es un himno de empoderamiento, autoaceptación y la importancia de dejar brillar la luz interior de cada individuo. Los sentimientos de inseguridad son transformados en una afirmación de valor y potencial. Considero que todos necesitamos saber quiénes somos y cómo podemos llegar a ser.
As a child, I was drawn to the beauty and excitement of fireworks—their vibrant colors, flashes, and thunderous sounds. That spectacle always captivated me. As I matured, I grew more aware of them, especially because of my concerns about the impact on pets and their ephemeral and expensive nature. I often suffered from seeing my pets suffer stress, anxiety, disorientation, and even panic attacks. On the other hand, I see them as a luxury activity, where a lot of money is spent on something ephemeral and short-lived. A few years ago, I enjoyed a balloon show, but later discovered it was the cause of several fires. These days, I've seen drone light shows, laser projections, and quieter displays that don't have a negative impact on the environment. I hope you enjoy my interpretation this week.

De niño me sentía atraído por la belleza y la emoción de los fuegos artificiales por sus colores vibrantes, los destellos y los sonidos estruendosos. Ese espectáculo siempre fue para mi cautivador. A medida que fui madurando se creó en mí una mayor conciencia. Sobre todo, por mis preocupaciones sobre el impacto en las mascotas y la naturaleza efímera y costosa. Sufrí muchas veces al ver a mis mascotas con estrés, ansiedad, desorientación e incluso ataques de pánico. Por otra parte, lo veo como una actividad de lujo donde se gasta mucho dinero por algo efímero y de corta duración de tiempo. Hace unos años disfruté de un espectáculo de globos, pero luego descubrí que era la causa de diferentes incendios. Actualmente, he visto espectáculos de luces con drones, proyecciones láser o exhibiciones más silenciosas que no generan un impacto negativo para el ambiente. Espero que disfruten de mi interpretación de esta semana.
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 cavin' in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six 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 Fourth of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Ah, ah, ah"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, "Ah, ah, ah"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
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 a 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 Fourth of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Ah, ah, ah"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, "Ah, ah, ah"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
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 throu-ou-ough
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, "Ah, ah, ah,"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, "Ah, ah, ah"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
"Boom, boom, boom"
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
"Boom, boom, boom"
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
