The Hush Sound - Wine Red - ASL Song

July's second new music video is here! This is the first song chosen by your requests and voting here on Patreon. "Wine Red" by The Hush Sound. Remember, each month all my patrons get to submit a request and vote for that month's Patron Crew Song. Voting for August begins on Monday, so if you're not already supporting me, sign up soon! This was a tough interpretation for a number of reasons. The song is fast. The lyrics are somewhat abstract. There are many mythological and biblical references (The Odyssey, the Fall of Adam and Eve, Exodus, etc.). I appreciated the challenge! In the interpretation I role-shift between the male and female characters. I portray the woman as somewhat in denial about the relationship's demise, confused and frightened by the sudden chaos of their world. The man, wounded by the "arrow," pleads with her to realize they are at fault, and that they must "seize" their fleeting time together before everything falls apart. The woman in turn shares this realization, and they both articulate it in the chorus. Hope y'all enjoy it! ^_^

EXCLUSIVE: Alternate Take for "Sifters"

Andrew Bird - Sifters - ASL Song (Alternate)

Unreleased alternate performance of Andrew Bird's &quot;Sifters&quot;. For this one, I intentional subdued the movements and signs in relation to the main take. It made for a unique feel, I believe.
