Jonathan Coulton's "The Future Soon" in a mix of ASL and signed English. Thanks to the fans for all your requests! I've got more coming, hopefully every Sunday. Keep an eye out!

Last week I left a note on Lauras desk
LAST WEEK, LAURA DESK NOTE [PLACE-THERE]
It said I love you signed anonymous friend
QUOTE LOVE-YOU FROM SECRET FRIEND
Turns out shes smarter than I thought she was
SHE SMART-ER, FIGURE NOTE OUT
She knows I wrote it, now the whole class does too
SHE KNOWS NOTE MINE, SHE TELL CLASS
And Im alone during couple skate
NIGHT SKATE I ALONE
When she skates by with some guy on her arm
SEE-HER SKATE-BY, WITH MAN WHAT?
But I know that Ill forget the look of pity in her face
I FUTURE FORGET, SHE-PITY-ME
When Im living in my solar dome on a platform in space
WHEN LIVE IN DOME [in-space]

Cause its gonna be the future soon
FUTURE ARRIVE SOON
And I wont always be this way
I NOT ALWAYS STAY SAME
When the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away
MY WEAK, STRANGE ENGINEER-[MELT AWAY]
Its gonna be the future soon
FUTURE ARRIVE SOON
Ive never seen it quite so clear
SEE [ahead] GOOD
And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and its already here
DURING HEART-BREAK I SHUT-EYES, FUTURE HERE

Ill probably be some kind of scientist
I BECOME SCIENTIST
Building inventions in my space lab in space
CREATE BUILD++ IN MY STARS {LAB}
Ill end world hunger Ill make dolphins speak
WORLD I-FEED-IT, DOLPHINS TEACH-THEM TALK
Work through the daytime, spend my nights and weekends
ALL-DAY WORK, ALL-NIGHT WEEKEND
Perfecting my warrior robot race
MAKE++ MY SOLDIER (robot)
Building them one laser gun at a time
{LASER} GUN (attach-to-arm)
I will do my best to teach them
I TRY TEACH-THEM
About life and what its worth
HOW LIFE IMPORTANT
I just hope that I can keep them from destroying the Earth
WORLD I HOPE THEY NOT DESTROY

(chorus)

Here on Earth theyll wonder
HERE WORLD WONDER
As I piece by piece replace myself
MACHINE PUT-INSIDE-ME+++
And the steel and circuits will make me whole
WITH METAL, CIRCUIT I BECOME BETTER
But Ill still feel so alone
BUT I LONESOME
Until Laura calls me home
UNTIL SHE INVITE-ME HOME

Ill see her standing by the monorail
I SEE-HER WAITING BESIDE 1-RAIL TRAIN
Shell look the same except for bionic eyes
LOOK SAME, BUT HAVE MACHINE EYES
She lost the real ones in the robot wars
LOST HOW? (robot) WAR
Ill say Im sorry, shell say its not your fault
[me] I SORRY, [her] NOT YOUR FAULT
Or is it?
OR TRUE?
And shell eye me suspiciously
[toward me] LOOK-AT, SUSPECT
Hearing the whir of the servos inside
MACHINES INSIDE-ME, SHE HEAR
She will scream and try to run
SCREAM, RUN-AWAY
But theres nowhere she can hide
SHE CANT ESCAPE
When a crazy cyborg wants to make you his robot bride
CRAZY ROBOT WANT MARRY-HER

[chorus]

Amazing choices for the signs! Great mix of ASL and English. Awesome. "Space lab." "...still feel so alone." "She'll eye me suspiciously."
Dude, absolutely spectacular.

As we all enjoy these vids, just wanted to let all of you know that he recently had a interview and told everybody how he constructs the ASL for these songs. He uses a program called ASL PRO and as he finds the lyrics, he types the lyrics into the software and he perfects the signing for each song he puts in. :) I think that's really cool. :)
