Hands Open (Snow Patrol) in Irish Sign Language performed by DIT Sign Soc & DIT Guitar Soc

This is a great video! So innovative! I live in Pennsylvania USA and work with children with autism, many of which cannot communicate at all. A program/society like this here in the states would be wonderful to help then enjoy the arts as well as express themselves. Keep up your creatively inspiring work!

[DITSignLanguageSoc]

@bodylogique thanks, really kind of you to say! the arts really are a wonderfully levelling medium and so great for expression, I hope you find like minded people to nurture an idea like this!

[phleota]

lovely singing

[DITSignLanguageSoc]

@phleota thanks! will tell the guys you said so :)

[dexterfan90]

Although I am a complete stranger to music, I must say it's a good video! A bit catchy too :) Fair dues to the signer!

[DITSignLanguageSoc]

@dexterfan90 Thanks dexterfan! When you say catchy, do you mean visually the sign is catchy?

[dexterfan90]

@DITSignLanguageSoc

Yup! 

[DITSignLanguageSoc]

@dexterfan90 interesting!

[DITSignLanguageSoc]

@dexterfan90 ...are you in UCD? You should totally set up a sign Soc!! That'd be awesome!!

[ADeafDude]

I think it was interesting to see a song terped in ISL. I applaude anyone that TERPS a song in whatever language the deaf community uses in each country. Im from USA and ASL is my language. Thank for sharing :-)

[DITSignLanguageSoc]

@ADeafDude Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[ADeafDude]

@DITSignLanguageSoc  :-)

[deafcelt]

That's awful. he can't translate the song well. Thumb down! 

[DITSignLanguageSoc]

@deafcelt Aww sorry you didn't like it, we think he did a great job as a learner of ISL! Thanks for watching anyway!

[donegalgirl28]

@deafcelt he is still learning ISL, fair play to him for giving it a shot. The majority of deaf people in Ireland will never be willing to do something like this, so fair play to him for the effort. What an appalling comment.

[donegalgirl28]

@deafcelt what an appalling comment to make. fair play to him for making the effort, a lot of people wouldn't have the nerve to do it but he gave it a shot and tried his best and instead of just making a comment like that, why not tell him tips on how to improve????

[c1raldo]

@deafcelt Jesus give him a break!! Can't you not simply appreciate the effort he put into this? Don't be so downright negative! Jesus Christ, I am lost for words at how rude you are, your comment is totally disrespectful towards the signer and the society!

[madeleinegal]

I want to learn sign language!

[DITSignLanguageSoc]

@madeleinegal It's good fun alright!!

[c1raldo]

I have to confess I found the part where he tried to finger spell "Sufjan Stevens" during the song rather amusing! Sorry! Lke, how awkward must it have been for him to sign that?!

"What's the sign for 'Sufjan Stevens'?"

"There's none, you're gonna have to finger-spell it"

"Oh bo**ix!"

Not a criticism at all, no fluent ISL user including myself can finger spell "Sufjan Stevens" during a song without looking awkward! I'm just glad it wasn't me! =)

But it's a great video, kudos to the signer! :)

[DITSignLanguageSoc]

@c1raldo :D yeah, we think he did great!! glad you enjoyed it!!

ps I don't know who Sufjan Stevens is either!! . . . must look it up ;)

[donegalgirl28]
