NZSL - Imagine

Song is 'Imagine' from Glee. I don't own it, but I love the song.

I have tried to make my interpretation not fully literal. As you will see, My signs are not word-for-word to the lyrics. And I appreciate that others' interpretations may be different.

I am trying to implement a few things I've picked up this year.
Any positive criticisms are welcome.


Lyrics:

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too

Imagine all the people
Living life in peace (youuuu)
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world (youuuu)
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will live as one

That was awesome! I keep wanting to do some songs in NZSL but I'm not quite there yet. Gotta keep practicing!

@appledumplingpie Haha I know the feeling! Took me a while, and as you can see, I don't upload very often. Glad to see you're going to do the Degree =D Very exciting!! (I may have stalked your page a little =P)

Beautiful! Post more!

@andreaadair2 Aww thanks so much Andrea =) I thought: "Hey! They have it in ASL on Glee, why not in NZSL on Youtube?" And while I am constantly learning, I praise God for the gift of interpretation.

@cathycatfish haha yeah I did the same =P I was planning on going to Aux next year but I'm staying in Wellington a bit longer to save up so I'm not dirt poor haha

@breezywahine Haha I want to guess who, but I don't want to be wrong... =P

I really do love signing and singing, so it's a wonderful experience to mix the two. It's a space where I can be really expressive. I really praise God for leading me down this path.

@cathycatfish

Yes, I have viewed them but sadly not to my liking! You have a gift inspired by God and it would be good to see you produce more songs in NZSL. You and James were introduced into the Deaf world at VUW. I feel so encouraged seeing both of you still part of the Deaf community and signing/interpreting beautifully. Guess who?

@breezywahine Thank you so much for your comment. Praise God! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, it would be good for more songs to be interpreted. There are others on Youtube that put songs into NZSL too =)

[breezywahine]

You are blessed! Imagine if only the NZ Deaf community could see this in their own language and how the interpretation can flow into their eyes, hearts and minds just like how it gently touched us. It would be good to see more of your songs in NZSL, both nationally and globally. Thank you for sharing.
