My own original material and interpretation of "Someone Like you" by Adele.

It's not perfect but, hey, I did it on a whim just for fun. I played with some words here and there as well, like I said this is just one interpretation....
I love how this is a happy and sad song at the same time. Makes it fun to sign and interpret happy/sad emotion.
Hope you enjoy, thanks for watching. Constructive criticism appreciated!

***PLEASE NOTE: This video is not perfect, I am not a perfect model of how songs should be signed. I DO HAVE ASL experience BUT still learning how to sign SONGS. It is very difficult and this was just for fun, for practice and for feedback! Thanks for watching :)

Lyrics:

I heard that you're settled down,
That you found a girl and you're married now,
I heard that your dreams came true,
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you,
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light,

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,

Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah,

You know how the time flies,
Only yesterday was the time of our lives,
We were born and raised in a summer haze,
Bound by the surprise of our glory days,

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,

Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"

Nothing compares,
No worries or cares,
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made,
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead.

    I'm not hearing impared or anything, just learning to sign again. I like your style too! great job!

  • @crazywolfygirl Thank you!

  • I'm not sure, but I think I love you. Jk. But seriously, I've been taking ASL for 2.5 years now, and I still feel not very confident in my signing ability. Kudos to you :) This is wonderful stuff and I really look forward to more! Definitely someone I plan to subscribe to! :)

  • @nickderryanimeman haha, Thank you! Good luck in your ASL!

  • You Did A Very Good Job!!.... I'm Learning ASL & I Love How You Signed This Song! Its Going To Help Me With Practicing!!! =D

  • I like Adele and also sign language. Kisses from Brazil.

  • Probably the best asl music video I've seen on youtube. Most people directly translate from the song to signs and it doesn't make sense. This was great and your use of HOLMES was awesome. Thanks so much for posting(:

  • I hate adele

  • yes i like this one of your ASL super good doin' action..really like it..

  • tht's not fair. It must be something that you care about, as do i. there are plenty of lyrics on the screan, t's like poetry. and she does her songs beautifully. maybe if you could show it to her when she's in a different mood.
