Keith Wann: From this Moment on - ASL version for lovers

[tina7812]

Wow, I just noticed this vid is 3 yrs old. Great interpreting. I am trying to learn some ASL on my own right now, so I've been watching a lot of different youtube vids. I enjoy your comedy, but this video is amazing! Love it!!!!

[physicsxnerd55]

i'm an asl student and wondering if cc's could be put on, but for the signs he's signing instead of what the music is. i'd love to learn how to sign songs :)

[hulezoqi]

Great expression and interpritation of the sence of the song well done

[cue2me]

Oops, I thought you were being funny Keith. I laughed, your expressions, while you are signing, something so serious is just crazy funny!

[jsweet46176]

I have been watching your videos for a long time, I love them, but this one.....ahhh took my breath away. I love signing songs, but you just inspired me to learn this one.... Absolutely AMAZING!!!!!

[jwdeaf]

I am 77 and I have been skilled in sign language all my life. I wish I had just a small bit of talent as Keith has. I wold love to sign sing.

[kjsand]

Keith... THAT was awesome. Usually ur vids are funny, silly or crazy. I was waiting for the jokes... KUDOS dude. I saw this was a serious song interpretation. I really enjoyed and appreciate that it wasn't "translated" as most song are my most signers..ah, but keith isn't MOST signers... you truly interpeted the meanings.

how you signed "From this moment on..." perfect! and so many more!

Bravo!

And to whomever you're signing Happy Anniversary to at the end...congrats!

[mazzabrittany]

niecs

[Frubahboi]

This was amazing. I want you to know that you truly do inspire me.

[joedeafhiphop69]

it nice song wow

[pkmccann]

WOW... beautifully done. The blend of expression and feeling is lovely. What a wonderful job. 

[ButterflyMamma08]

You made me cry...it was beautiful!! I am an ASL student and I pray that I will be able to sign as beautiful as you just did...thank you

[corky4343]

Omgish tars in my eyes you sign with such meaning.

[DeafCub2000]

WOW! You did a good job, Keith!!!

[wyrddragosnchyld]

Whom ever asked at the end of the song he signed "I love you Happy

Anniversary"

[ToniDonati1]

Beautiful job Keith

[xBROWNxTiGERxEYESx]

*sigh* OHMYGOSH!! i think in in love! <3

[niseyweesee]

I love it...I haven't seen anything yet that I don't like from Keith!!! You are awesomeeeee!!!

[hutt5]

Beautiful!!!

[vtarrence]

Wow! Keith, I have only seen you in comedy also. At first I was waiting for the punch line, then I realized you were being serious. I like it. You are a wonderful artist and your ASL is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

[hopenchrist777]

I love watching you speak sign to the hearing...thank you for all you do! You're the best!!!!!!

Thanks again for your postings! Keep up the awesome work!!!!

[KittyxCupake]

Very intersting

[fsbo2961]

Wow!

[evolvedcucumber]

I think it is awesome that you stepped away from your "comedic" personality, and were so serious doing this song. I wasn't sure how it would be, because I've only seen your comedy (which I adore), but this was amazing.

To HMENKIS--My ASL teacher is also Deaf, and she mouths what she's saying sometimes. I don't understand what the issue is, and it maybe because I was not born into the Deaf World, but I've never had any problem thinking of her as Deaf, nor do I think she wants to be hearing.

[doxiedawg]

It's beautiful ! A I am not deaf, I love you all !

[PathOfTheHappySpirit]

Keith Wann is obviously not perfect. He is a comedian and an entertainer. But for me many of the things he does in this song show the pure beauty of ASL and when I just showed it to some hearing people who had never been exposed to sign language before they agreed.

That simple act of obtaining respect for ASL from 2 people who had never seen it before makes any fault in his signing insignificant.

You are great. Keep it up.

[glorifytheOne]

Ok I have a great Idea!!! Could you someday when I get married...interpret this song at my wedding (during the 1st dance) That way my mom can hear the song too! I don't think anyone could interpret it like you!!! And I would love to meet you! CODA UNTIED HA!!!

[amkt]

i love how you show putting your heart in the other persons hand at 1:58 and it looks like it's beating. hehe clever!

[hmenkis]

There is a saying that " We see the world the way we are.

We do not see the world the way it is" so this is where we "part company".

[hmenkis]

Wonderful ...  would love to see it done without mouthing English words....

[christerp1]

He's not "mouthing" English words. He's using morphemes which are characteristic of the signs he is executing. I know, I'm a hard-of-hearing interpreter and CODA. He's amazing! A billion kudos Keith!

[hmenkis]

I respectfully disagree with you. If he is indeed using morphemes as you asserted, then he is using the wrong morphemes. I know, I am DEAF and I am a retired Professor Emeritus and I have 2 Master's degrees in teaching ASL and Applied Linguistics and native asl user since age 2. You sound like a "heafie" to me ... But like I said eariler I thought his sign "singing" was wonderful and it may be wonderful for people like you, but certainly not for deafies like me ..

[christerp1]

Thank you for your polite comment. I continue to disagree with you. Knowing ASL, even having a Master's Degree in Applied Linguistics is in no manner a qualification as an INTERPRETER. You may even be a CDI, yet interpreting from the English language or any other into ASL is not a feat accomplished by having a degree in the target language, but being qualified in the source one. So trust me when I say as a native speaker with a netural and tricultural perspective that he did a wonderful job.

[sethsmommy2007]

Hi hmenkis, or any other person who happens to know, I was just wondering, if you'd be so kind as to tell me, what exactly the term "heafie" means? I'm imagining it's a negative term, something like 'hearing'-'deafie' like a reversal of the sign "think-hearing"? Honestly I have no idea, I've never heard the term before. Thanks in advance to anyone who answers :)

[hmenkis]

Heafie is a negative connotation labeled on a deaf person who tries to act or passes oneself off as a hearing person.

[sethsmommy2007]

Thank you for your quick response, I appreciate it. :)

[rocksvilleknox]

Retired professor and using the term "heafie?" How embarrassing....

[DarkAurora2002]

The only English words I noticed him mouthing was, "I love you." I don't think it takes anything away from the song or the signing. It's a song about love.

[hawaiifiregirrl]

damn...you even dressed in that sexy black shirt

[artlover68]

he is so super expert on ASL song , I also met him last year . you guys should watch his performance because he is good at humor too ....

[Fouroclocklover38]

What a very special video. Thank you for sharing it.

[HappytoSign]

Oh my gosh.. I was so amazed at this video.. I thought you were really loving me.. LOL .. good job..!!

[4213wisdom]

[jsweet46176]

AMAZING!!! that was absolutely wonderful and so full of feeling. I am an interpreter and I love signing songs, but I don't think I could ever do such a job as you. it was beautiful!!! BTW I also loved badonkadonk that was so cute and funny.

[CharlieAmita]

that signing was as beautiful as the voices

[gabocharrua]

thanks man,,,i hear te song thanks tou you,,,,,

[PCKill900]

i really like it!!! it was great clip! =D

[fairycat1988]

Absolutly amazing. My boyfriend and I are both aspiring interpreters and and we both love the way you signed this song. Right now, the two of us have this little thing where we hold up the "ILY" to each other and then bring them together so the tips touch. Though we are both hearing, it's our special way of bringing ASL into our everyday lives.

Thanks again for putting up this amazing video.

[Daffyodil]

This song means so much to me! and seeing it in ASL liek this makes it mean so much more to me..... no wya to tell you thanks!

[LilixLoveByBlood]

i think i just fell in love.... for real

[CarpeSoul]

[123yangatang]

Way to go, I really like the use of the ring to make the imagery that much more real.

[askeung87]

This is a great clip. This is one of the most serious things I seen you do on youtube. I liked it a lot. Good job!
