De Donde Vengo Yo?: Jessica Hinton

Posted by Jessica Hinton in SP3-005 on Tuesday, September 27, 2011 at 9:22 pm

What did you learn?
Besides learning a few new words while researching things for my lyrics, I learned about how to describe where I'm from.

What are you especially proud of?
I'm especially proud of my song, and the lyrics I put together. I like that I was able to get the lyrics to flow right with the song.

What would you change if you could do it over again?
If I was to do this over, maybe I would want to make more verses, so that I actually use the full length of the actual instrumental. For this, I cut and edited a few parts so that the verses and chorus' I had would fit perfectly.

Famosa comida y museos

Es un gran... lugar... estar.

¿De dónde vengo yo?

Vengo de el ciudad pequeña

Famosa comida y museos

Es un gran... lugar... estar.

Verso Uno:

Soy de Filadelfia.

Vivo en Wynnfield

Es la zona bien
