sound meets sign language

I'm so in love with this video, song, band, everything. I don't know exactly why I'm so fascinated by this video, possibly because I'm partially deaf myself. I'm so grateful that I can hear as much as I can with my ever-so-flattering hearing aids.. but I've always wondered why I haven't learnt sign language before. (I mean at 'Brownies' I learnt the alphabet, I like to think thats something remotely impressive enough.. no?) In the video the sign language is apparently actually 'American Sign Language' which I didn't even know existed.

Woman's Hour - No Ghost. So perffffffect and relaxing to listen to whilst revising. I say revising, I mean procrastinating/blogging.

The ironic funny thing about me watching this video is that I can't understand/hear/don't actually know what the lyrics are! I've tried googling them but the song is a fairly new release. I've always been terrible at deciphering lyrics from songs, except for the obvious YMCA or Barbie Girl number.

 Let me give you an insight.. at the age of 13 when DJ Casper's "Cha Cha Slide" came on at the disco, I'd be launching myself left whilst everybody else was elegantly gliding to the right. Idek how because left and right sound COMPLETELY different.. And I also use to think the lyrics to the Bee Gee's "Stayin' Alive" went "ah ha ha ha stabiliiiiiiise, stabiliiiiise, ah ha ha ha, stabiliiiIIIIiiiiIIIIIiiise" as in the stabilisers you get on a bicycle. In all complete honesty. 

So if you ever see or (unfortunately for your sake) hear me sing, I've probably overplayed the song so much/googled the lyrics and learnt them/pretending I know all the lyrics when really I just know the first line of the chorus..

If you liked that video, I just found this on Facebook - the story behind this video is amazing! That little boy is what I looked like at the age of 5 with my pink hearing aids haha (I then found out I was allergic to the colour stuff they put it in, boo). Like seriously, compare something like this to Lady Gaga's Poker Face video or something. Wowza
