Someone Like You ASL

our interpretation of "Someone Like You" by the lovely Adele. We tried making this more metaphorical and less signed English. Enjoy :-)

when i heard this song for the first time i felt that in the chorus Adele actually meant that she would never find anyone like him and not that she did not care about him. but here the expressions are telling differently. i don't know... maybe is the way she sings. but i really think that when she says "nevermind i'll find some like you" she is not minimizing the relationship AT ALL. -i apologize if i'm confusing with my writing, i'm not a native English speaker-

@jaboncitolux good points, and I can see what you mean . We took the song to be very emotional and signed in accordance with the strong emotions. But everyone's got thier own interpretations... :)

Solid gloss, expression, and performance. Be careful to always sync up the video and audio very precisely. It's especially tough when cutting together separate segments as you did here, but it's worth the effort. If the video is unsynced, you lose a ton of the musicality and rhythm matching that goes with songsigning.

Work on it for future videos. I still thoroughly enjoyed this! :)

@CaptainValor thanks for the comments, captain! :-)

for the line "dreams came true" in my opinion, you should've glossed it "YOUR DREAM HAPPEN WITH WIFE" i don't know but that's just me

[chillphil27]

@zaphrodite interesting, i like your thoughts. We could have expanded more about what that dream actually was. thanks!

@bitsofus While I appreciate your perseverance for learning sign language, I would not recommend using these ASL music videos to learn. They are to enjoy. If we signed each sign we use in this video the "mechanical, robotic way," it would not look right, or flow with the song. "Hurt" changes always, depending on WHERE you are hurting, etc. So it never will be the same. It's an interpretation-- there are many points of view on how to sign songs. This is ours. Thanks though.

Beautiful. really felt the emotion. love the different interpretations.

[illbeurgrlubemyguy]

Are you not american? Or at least no where near NY? Because I got a lot of your signs, but they mean wayy different things to me. But that would be easily explained if you're not from the northern US.

He is soooooo handsome

He can sign with me anyday

You both flow really nicely. Kudos.

nevermind the critics. This is Beautiful!!! The expressions are great. And ASL SHOULD be an interpretation of the emotion. Not just a stiff accurate motion to each and every word. This is Perfect. GREAT JOB YOU TWO !!

[cutthing8]

iv seen better .... it wasnt tht great

[rainbow84uk]

@jaboncitolux I am a native English speaker and I also understand the chorus to be far less defiant and more resigned and sad. Beautiful video though! :)

[12fathomable]

You both are fantastic! The guy rocks it! I loved watching this.

@jaboncitolux .. i agree to that... lol but if u look at what they saying it makes sense of them signing.. but i see ur point of when he said nevermind.. ill find somone like you.. but he should have made it in another signing for it beside nevermind... cuz it didnt sound right with the song.. but idk.. but i love the song and also the signing.. so im not companing about it:)
