A Beautiful Song to Start the Weekend



Today I want to share with you this colourful video of Kina Grannis´s song, "In Your Arms."


The lyrics are below so that you can sing along this "sweet" song.





And this is the video with subtitles in Spanish. Do a translation exercise: listen to the video, read the subtitles in Spanish but write them in English and then, after you have written the whole song, check your version with the lyrics above.



This is all this video involved:


22 months
1,357 hours
30 people
2 ladders
1 still camera
288,000 jelly beans



This is the "making of" video:





Who would have imagined a three-minute video would take so much time and dedication!


With my best wishes for a nice weekend!

    I focused on this song for several reasons.
    First, because I didn´t know it and when I heard the rhytm and lyrics, I liked it very much and I think the girl who sings has a very sweet and pretty voice. Furthermore, because it´s amazing all the work that have made the persons who appear in the "making of".
    All of us, who only see the end result of this project, are unaware of the effort made by all these people, so I think they should have a bigger recognition in front of fans.

  2. Sara, I am glad you like it. Feel free to recommend any songs you like. By the way, the singer of this song reminds me of a colleague of yours from your class last year, any ideas?

    mmm ... I think the girl who sings this song may remind you of Lucia Villaravid, right?
    The truth is that I like too many bands and too many songs of different styles. Referring to foreign groups, my favourites are Coldplay and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

  4. Yes, she reminds me of Lucía.
    I see we agree on some of the groups we like...
