i'm watching this again and can't get over how absolutely beautiful it is :D ... *speechless* ... thank you so much for bringing the song alive this way! and i hope you had a beautiful christmas!
@KayteGrace Aw, thanks! It's been ages since I've posted a song and I think another one is long overdue.... My Christmas was magnificent! I hope yours was just as well!
This is a beautiful interpretation to a beautiful song! I really liked the ways you signed "soaking you in", very clear and your interpretations of the similes were well done too. It's hard to not interpret similes into SEE sometimes, but it didn't seem SEE to me when you did it. A beautiful job! I like your interpretations and hope you never stop interpreting songs. :)
This is weird to say but... I'm taking ASL in college right now but... the way you signed this song really arrested my attention and took me into the song deeper than I thought possible. Like I can't wait to be fluent now. It's... incredible to watch. And I could tell that you really felt the lyrics.
You are my new favorite signer to study! Where have you been? I love what you've done with all the songs so far. Keep it up! Your fresh approach is easy to watch. THANK YOU! Keep posting!
Good Job! Good song choice. I love her voice! Thanks for sharing! You really have some cool concepts intertwined into your interpretation. Keep playing around and keep letting it flow. The more you are attached to the music you interpret the stronger the clarity of the interpretation will be!! I love your spirit! *smile*
hey goober, I posted a video response, but guess it got sent somewhere else...had to do it about 12 times to get it right, and now it's not showing...bummer. ah, well, back to taxes and studying...as always, LOVE YOUR INTERPRETATIONS!!
This song is being sung by my cousin, Kayte, and I so appreciate the EXCELLENT job you did interpreting this beautiful song! I work at Gallaudet University and am an interpreter for my church. I will be sharing your interpretation. There's so much to learn. Thank you for taking the time to do this and sharing it here!
This definitely made my day--not only for your kind words, but also to learn that somebody at Gallaudet is watching and liking it! I hope your day is as nice as you have made mine! =]
I've subscribed to you on YouTube. I'll be checking your interpretations out. Songs are so hard to do sometimes, so it's great to find great examples like yours. Thanks again.
AWINEGLASS... this young man is just incredible. I have recently started studying ASL again, after 8 longs years of illness, and he has yet again brought me to tears with his passion and beauty with his Signing. So many folks say "ASL SONG..." but he actually DOES it, not a "SEE song.."
Banerika, this is Connie from MEETUP in Sommerville. THIS is the young man I was telling you about, how his interpretation brought me to tears with his ' FIREFLIES" - and he's done it again.
And to think he isn't even studying ASL! That is what truly blows me away ... here we are, fumbling with fingerspelling (well, I sure am!), while he's making videos that are astounding. Glad you saw him ... check out his FIREFLIES one...See ya Sunday (maybe, exhausted..) PEACE ....
Hey, your video doesn't fill the whole frame... Why did I think it was supposed to? Maybe it's the editor. We need to fix that for you, sir.
Turned out great! And I didn't wobble the camera too much, yay! And I do like the song. It was really nice of her to send that and nice of you to do this for her!
@cutewitch772 Yeah, it's because Window Movie Maker saves it in 3:4. So, if I don't edit in WMM first, it should be fine on YouTube. I haven't really looked yet for how to change the ratio on WMM, but now that you point it out, it would be a good idea to figure that out.
STUNNING!!!! love the way you interpreted some of the more complicated concepts and analogies-- the painting, the flashcards-- in this one! beautiful song, too :)
