[hadensmommy07]

this is so amazing---Tears in Heaven is one of my favorite songs by Eric Clapton---i got the joy of getting to attend one of concerts years ago in NC--i am not sure if you know this--but this song is wrote about his son that passed away as a child.

[soph1951]

@hadensmommy07 good morning, yea i knew as to why he wrote this song cuz of wot happened in the past, this is a very very sad song but beautiful as well....

[Hustler263]

Yet another lovely video! I love watching you do these and it has definitely helped me greatly with my learning sign. It's both at the same time a lovely song but also a very sad song as he did this after his son died.

[soph1951]

@Hustler263 one of my earlier days...smiling......yes thats wot i read on abt why he did this song...such a touching song

[hawkcreekgirl90]

Hello soph1951.. I am taking a college class for sign language and my final project is to sign a song in sign language. I was wondering if you had a suggestion for an easy song it has to be 3 to 4 minuets. If you get the time could you possibly e-mail me? justine.dambroten@live.mnwest.­edu thanks!!!!

[soph1951]

@hawkcreekgirl90 am so sorry that i didnt see this....pls go ahead and email me in youtube...thanks

[PATOROURKEful]

I like the way you look comfortable to sit like that.. :D

[DEAFWOMYNPRIDE]

Hi Soph I love Eric Clapton.. I went to EC concert and it was so good show. Thanks for signing songs. :-)

[soph1951]

@DEAFWOMYNPRIDE hi there....am so tickled that you stopped by here, and thank you.....clapton is a good singer...i enjoyed doing this one.....

[mit77blr]

great video soph and am totally in love with your signing!!

[soph1951]

@mit77blr hi there...thank you very much...

[Hollywood30214]

Great song! I love watching you sign, but can someone explain to what the difference between when someone says "english" and "asl" version??

[soph1951]

@Hollywood30214 ill try my best ....english is wot i do, i sign it exact word for word...but i do throw in some asl signs....

asl...breaking it all down....like go store thats in asl....another sign would be nice you...meaning nice of you....thats the best way i can explain it.....my thing is....i want people to know wot the song is about...so i sign it my way....if people dont care to know the lyrics the words to the song then they can do it in asl....does that make sense?? hahahahaha

[Hollywood30214]

@soph1951 Ohhh ok! So, if i signed English to someone who's deaf, would they still understand?

[soph1951]

@Hollywood30214 oh of course hollywood.....some do sign in english, some sign n total asl, just all depends on the person really....theres to me, no set rule, of how someone signs....

[soph1951]

@Hollywood30214 english is where i sign it word for word according to a song or a book, in asl is very brief sentence, but got to be careful i think that when you sign it in asl, does it mean the same in english?? and thank you

[SHAKEJUNT1000]

actually you would understand it..i have a deaf student in the class and she understood it just fine but not the english one because she doesn't like the english sign languange...like i said before i did this song for my asl class too and my own teacher helped me and he knew it better also in american sign language not the english.

[soph1951]

@SHAKEJUNT1000 shakejunt100, ....i come from a deaf family, a long line of a deaf family.....i myself is HOH.....like i said, its to their preference....

[SHAKEJUNT1000]

i dont like that it's all in english. I did this song for my asl 2 class and its totally different cuz I did it in asl.

[soph1951]

@SHAKEJUNT1000 hey there, well to each and every individual is different....in their preference in signing a song...to me.....i want people to know wot the lyrics says....you do it in asl, would i know the words to the song?? i wouldnt have a clue...so i prefer it MY way...like ive said on here...sorry....

[TheSydWilli]

Thanks so much!!! I preformed it as my talent in a pageant...I messed up some but overall it was ok:)

The video of me doing it is on my page..

Could you tell me what you think?

Also,any advice on my sign language next time I preform it?

Thanks again!

[soph1951]

[babybeegs]
