Personally I think that all songs should be signed with SEE instead of ASL just because I love the way words are put together.
I love deconstucting the lyrics and finding my own meaning from it, and I think SEE gives people in the deaf community the opportunity to gain their own meaning from a song. (not that ASL songs arent beautiful as well!)
I hope you are alright with this, but I just recommended this video to a sign language teacher acquaintance of mine. I haven't heard back from her yet.
This isn't actually ASL, it's English code. ASL doesn't use the word "ing" and you signed it word for word. Try to think of the whole picture to get the meaning, not just the English word for word. Great job, though!
There is a large tribe of Bedouin Arabs that still live in the dessert that are mostly deaf. They inveted their own version of sign language which is completely distinct from all other but is supposed to be almost as sophisticated as ASL.
WOW!!! I'm trying to learn ASL myself and this is my favourite song. I was trying to sign along with you and I couldn't keep up with you lol XP That was AWESOME!!!
Thanks for this. It is a beautiful song and you did a beautiful job adding a new dimension to it. I feel like I understand it better now even though I don't really know ASL. Would you consider doing an ASL rendition of the song "Center of the Sun" by Poe and Conjure One?
You were watching the other guys video o___o

@LaurenKateRussell
Yeah you're exactly right, the whole WH- words need to go last as well. It goes like this.
Time, Subject, What the subject is doing, and then the question word (which would mainly be WH-)
you did a great job on keeping up with everything though.
I'm doing my ASL project on this song and I hope I'll be able to sign it perfectly in time like you have here

For someone who taught themselves ASL, this is quite good. You and I need to sit down one of these days and you must teach me.
