ASL Song--Soaked You In (Kayte Grace)

Beautiful song by a beautiful singer/songwriter--Kayte Grace!

Kayte kindly sent me a copy of her first album last summer, and this is my thank you, several months late. I hope I did it justice and reflect the beauty of this song through ASL!

With WMG taking down ASL song interpretations left and right, I think it's only fair to give the spotlight to somebody who deserves the publicity. If you like this song, check her out:

Lyrics:
do you remember that day?
it was just me and you
on a piano bench.
and you were playing that song
the one that sounded
like the day we first met
and the light poured in
from the window right above our heads

and i was holding my breath
soaking you in
life was a canvas and we were the paint
and i was breathing in deep
soaking you in
i was the lungs and you were the air
and i was holding my breath
soaking you in
you were the flashcard
five minutes til the test
and i was holding my breath
soaking you in
o i soaked you in

do you remember that day?
it was just me and you
and we were in a crowd
at a football game
the people near us were cheering so,
cheering so ... loud
but i didn't hear a thing
and i didn't see the crowd

cause i was holding my breath
soaking you in
life was a canvas and we were the paint
and i was breathing in deep
soaking you in
i was the lungs and you were the air
and i was holding my breath
soaking you in
you were the flashcard
five minutes til the test
and i was holding my breath
soaking you in
o i soaked you in

no i didn't hear a thing
and i didn't see the crowd
and the light poured in
and you were playing that song

and i was holding my breath
soaking you in
life was a canvas and we were the paint
and i was breathing in deep
soaking you in
i was the lungs and you were the air
and i was holding my breath
soaking you in
you were the flashcard
five minutes til the test
and i was holding my breath
soaking you in
o i soaked you in

@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 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.

@gregidot Thank you so much! Good luck with learning ASL; it's a beautiful language with a rich culture and history that go with it.

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*

Beautifully done :) I hope you do not mind that I have shared this, both the song and you heartfelt interpretation.

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. :)
