The one thing I love about music is that everyone has their own story to tell – the musician, the lyrics, the way the fans decipher them and also the way a song can also create a memory or a meaning to someone. That is what this new article is all about. Each fortnight, we will take a look at a different song and I will take you as a trip down memory lane as to what it means to me. Welcome to Music Memories.

Track: Firework
Artist: Katy Perry
Original Release Date: 26th October 2010

Some songs you hear and it always creates a weird memory that can pop into your head and make you laugh and this is one of those songs.

I remember vividly when Katy Perry’s song Firework came out because there was one line in the song that my group of friends were obsessed with – “Do you ever feel like a plastic bag“.

No-one knew what that lyric meant but we all used to say it over and over again as a saying. We used to sing it back to each other as a one liner song and we also used to just say it at really random times. We even used to say it as an answer to anything just to muck about.

It is such a bizarre line and every time I hear the song I always remember that this was a line that made us laugh a lot.
