Description:
I think this is an incredibly beautiful song that Annie Lennox does so well (lyrics below). I was asked to do this song in memory of my friend's grandmother, and for a friend's relative who died trying to save the life of another. My mother-in-law had also recently passed away, so she was on my mind as well. Prayers for them all & for those you have lost as well, including Grandpa William from Eric and his very special grandmother, Martha Lorene. I am sending strength and prayers your way. My story: To begin, I chose my YT name so that my friend could find it easily -- & I could remember it! It just made sense. However, now that it's found it's way to over 29,000 people, I don't like that it sounds like I'm an expert selling something. I am neither. I cannot change the name or I lose the videos, as well as the great, supportive comments I've received. I am not deaf. I was inspired to learn from my cousin & my ASL instructor, both of whom are deaf, as well as from a friend's child. I am not an interpreter, although that may be a route I chose someday when my children are older. I have a long way to go to become even close to fluent in ASL, so I admire those that are. I also took classes to learn Signed Exact English (S.E.E.) as some schools here use SEE to teach young children who are also learning to read. Signing here is not enough practice versus having real conversations with someone who is deaf; that is the best way to learn. I started signing to songs with my daughter for fun, then did my friend's fav song for her birthday ("My Wish"). My email couldn't handle the video, so I popped it up here. I never intended, nor imagined, that it would start getting thousands of hits and people would start requesting that I try their fav songs. I would have redone that video ASL appropriate if I had known! I will someday, but for now, I keep it here because I did it with my friend in mind, not the 29,000 other people :-) Songs are difficult to translate into straight ASL, as ASL is not in English word order. I am attempting to use more ASL now, but used Signed Exact English (SEE) and PSE a blend of both) when I did this one. I know I can't please everyone, so all I can say is that I am making the effort to communicate on all levels, in a way that I truly enjoy. All I know is what I am reading from all of you: people who were touched to see a beautiful visual aspect put to their special song. That it helped express their love, or let go of one; deal with the loss of a grandparent, a friend; recall their faith; start a new life; their wedding song; courageously battle disease as they fight for their life; bravely fight to protect ours... Countless people asking how & where they can learn ASL. These are the reasons I'm doing this, and will continue...Thank you so much for the support. My best, ~Lauren The Lord of the Rings III - The Return of the King Soundtrack Lyrics Annie Lennox - "Into the West" Lay down Your sweet and weary head Night is falling You have come to journey's end Sleep now And dream of the ones who came before They are calling From across a distant shore Why do you weep? What are these tears upon your face? Soon you will see All of your fears will pass away Safe in my arms You're only sleeping What can you see On the horizon? Why do the white gulls call? Across the sea A pale moon rises The ships have come to carry you home And all will turn To silver glass A light on the water All Souls pass Hope fades Into the world of night Through shadows falling Out of memory and time Don't say We have come now to the end White shores are calling You and I will meet again And you'll be here in my arms Just sleeping Chorus And all will turn To silver glass A light on the water Grey ships pass Into the West
