Yo vengo de una ciudad.
historia, arte, y música
Mi corazón vive en ese ciudad.
Mi alma pertenece aquí.
I wanted my refrain to give an overall idea of where I'm from and how I felt living/being from there. So, I basically wanted to just write a few short lines that gives the general idea of where I'm from and make the verses go into the detail.
I like that I started using a type of figurative language. I usually find it easy to write poetry, but thinking about writing a song usually makes me think of how hard it can be to incorporate poetry into music, so I'm just glad that I just delve into writing the refrain and didn't really think about the fact it was going to be a song.
I would like to make it longer and maybe make it a little more poetic. I think it may be too short and that there's so much more I could possibly do with it.
I found it hard to make a rhyme scheme or make a certain flow, I feel like it needs more a flow or something that will make it seem more like a song than one of my freestyle poems.

Maggie's Refran
Soy de Filadelfia
Cheesesteaks, pizza, las papas fritas.
No muy colina
Todos los días muere alguien.
My refrain is supposed to tell the person where I am from. What I like, and what happens in a short chorus. I am happy with the Spanish that I added into it. I think I did an ok job at translating using wordreference. I would like to make it longer and a little less depressing. I had a hard time making things in Spanish rhyme.

La musica estallido
Personas danza
Todos disfrutar se quieren
Eso es mi barrio
(Repetir 2x)
My refrain is suppose to show were I at and how it is around in my neighborhood.
Im happy with how easy it is to flow with and how it makes sense and is easy to comprehend for anyone.
I just want to make sure that the draft makes a lot of sense and if there is a way to improve it that I can do that.
The only thing I found difficult was actually choosing something to write about and being able to base a whole song on something that I can make sense of.

Bee - Ahorita 20/9
"Mi familia está muy grande y todo por el mundo."
My refrain is supposed to communicate about how my family is the main part of where I'm from and I have no original home since I moved so much at such a young age.
I'm happy about the fact it's all about me. It's not about my location, but all about the people in my life. Even if they're not biological relatives, I still consider them family.
I would like to add more to my refrain.
The problem I had with writing the refrain was to find a theme to go with the song. To me, choruses are like thesis sentences. Every other verse has to relate back to it.

My Refran
Yo soy de vuelta en el día.
Essentially, my refrán means "I am from back in the day." And it's suppose to show that even though we're all growing up, I'm from the times I grew up in. And sometimes people forget that. Childhoods mean so much, because they create who we are now. And I'd just like to honor the "back in the day" for me.
Generally, it's a short yet very effective refrán. After words explaining my childhood, I can simply end it with "Yo soy de vuelta en el día." Which, I feel would compliment the rest of the song. Kind of like a nice little spice on a bland meal.
Really, I have nothing against my refrán. I may need to check the grammar to make sure it means what I'm implying, but other than that there's nothing that needs to be added. Maybe if I wanted to, I could add something specifically I liked about "back in the day" onto it to emphasize its meaning.
I had no real problems writing my refrán. I knew from the beginning I wanted to write about my childhood. Given, it's not the most amazing childhood around, but I have to give credit when credit is deserved. Because of how I grew up, I became who I am today. So I owe everything to those times. From my parents to my own experiences. And I'm sure I can interpret that in a very excellent way.

Yang Refran
Yo vengo de tierra de mi padres
Vengo de Estados Unidos
Vengo de Filadelfia
Vengo de Patria
This refran basically speaks of my background, where I am. Although I wasn't born in a foreign country, my parents were. And I'd say that half of me belongs there and the other big half is here. I'd still call it the homeland, because of my ethnicity.
I'm happy I even got something out of it. It might not be an original idea, but it's where I'm just from, and that it was hard to describe something that wasn't physical.
Adding more lines, make it sound more advanced or at least not so simple as to where I'm literally from, more like something you'd have to think deeper into.
The only thing that was difficult was actually trying not to sound like everyone else.

Yo vengo a Vietnam
La comida es increíble
My refrain is suppose to tell people about where I'm from and about my food. I love food! I'm happy to say that I'm from Vietnam. I would like to add more than 2 lines. It has to go with the rhythm. One thing that was difficult for me was to go with the syllables to my original english song. It just has to go with the beat.

- My refrán is supposed to communicate just a small glimpse of Philly. Just something short.
- I think for my first draft I did well with organizing my thoughts.
- I think I should make sure that it goes along with the music.
- The difficult part was making sure I didn't put anything in the refrán that may fit better in a verse.

(I like the chorus. I need to check all my lyrics to be sure they are correct. In the song I talk about where I am from my hometown and my love of music. I think I am going to do something quick and simple for the tune.)
My Chorus Thingy
Yo
me gusta Russia!
This chorus says that I like both USA and Russia. My plan is to throw a bunch of reasons as to why, and say one country that I do not like or something. I got the idea from an old Russan song that is called "10 причин" or something like that!
Y

Bahamas y Africa

My refrán is communicating that I am of French, African and Bahamian descent. I also say that I would like to visit these places. I like that it gets the point across. I would like to change some parts because my song does not rhyme. Nothing was really difficult, I would just like for my refran to rhyme.

Yo mi gusto. el comida.
Yo comido el pollo y el sandwhiches.
Y Yo siempre es hambre.
It is suppose to commnicate that I like food and that food effects my life.
My first 2 lines is something I'm really proud about.
I would like to start on my first verse.
It was difficult writing while doing other homework. A little overwhelming.

Niños en los calles
My refrain is about something that happens in my neighborhood. The curfew is not enforced and there are always kids playing outside on the street. That is something I think stands out about my neighborhood. I also included a part about how many people say not so nice things about where I'm from, but it is where I am from and I can't change it. I embrace it, and this song I'm writing will show that.

What is your refrán supposed to communicate?
- So, my refrán is basically where I'm from and when the whole song is finished, you'll understand like where it'll go because this is only the chorus.
What are you especially happy about with your first draft?
- The repetition.
What would you like to improve about your refrán first draft?
- I feel like I still need to write more but then it's a chorus and I don't want it to be long because I'll be repeating that the whole time and I don't want to reveal too much.
What was difficult about writing your refrán?
-
Soy de Tibet
Soy de India

-It talks about my family and how I love them.
-I think it flows well
-I don't know what to improve, just be able to say it fast and well.
-It was hard to think of what way important enough to repeat throughout the song.
vengo mi familia;
mi mama, mi papa, mi hermanos y
mi tia y bisabuelo
te amo, mucho te amo.
mi mama, mi papa, mi hermanos y
mi tia y bisabuelo

-Mi antepasado come de Irlanda,
y Italia y eso es la cuento de mi.
This is supposed to communicate that I’m both Italian and Irish. The rest of the song will explain everything else. I’m happy that it makes sense, because a lot of times I write it doesn’t make sense. I might want to make it longer but I wan the bulk of the story to be the verses. It wasn’t too difficult, the only hard part was to find the words I wanted ot use.

Donde las calles están gastadas,
My refrain is describing my neighborhood. I'm very happy that I got it done, and it makes sense. I might want to make it longer, but I'm not sure. I had some trouble using phrases that sounded good together.

No siempre es seguro
Pero es mi casa sólo.

this was the first attempt at working a script into an intro to the GYU mission. Clearly we can do better on all fronts.
