What the Song Looks Like

A commenter (named, delightfully, Jane Wiley) on my recent Signing Time post asked:

Melissa…have you heard about “Sign Art” the interpretation of music through sign language…
Sign Art is a beautiful way to see a picture… of a song… through the interpretation in sign language…

Several years ago, Scott called me to the TV to watch a clip from a
Pearl Jam concert DVD he was watching. "Trust me," he said. "You're
going to love this."

As usual, he was right. I stood transfixed as a young ASL
interpreter accompanied the band in a performance of "Given to Fly."
Her movements are lovely and captivating, lifting the song itself to a
level of beauty I would never have associated with Pearl Jam.

I found the clip on YouTube so you can see for yourselves. (Parents
with younguns looking over your shoulders, be aware that Eddie Vedder
drops an F-bomb at minute 3:28—with a bit of sign language of his own).
