Just so people know, Joshua Castille (THE SMOLLEST, PUREST CINNAMON ROLL) did the ASL translation for this!

[@henryleeactorsinger]

+Legandary Lps I know! They're housemates as well! I'm a huge fan of the show and the whole cast so seeing them finally getting exposure makes me feel so proud (especially when you think about the fact that they started in a small warehouse theatre at Inner City Arts). It's a truly breathtaking production that means so much to so many people and especially to the deaf community; it's a pity it had to leave Broadway so soon 😢. Say hello to Sandy and your dad (the fandom loves him) for me!

[@jaderermis7258]

i never gonna sell my soul i think so it has to do with Illuminati. I think so this whole song is about them . Like my comment if you agree

[@Jilly_Neutron]

god they are both just the greatest things ever. I loved the moment where she signed a stream of "nothing"s, and then just "not". Beautiful, emotional, raw, etc. Also Josh's voice is my guilty pleasure. He makes simcom the cutest thing ever.

[@mischa2643]

Josh has such a pure way of translating intent and it's beautiful to see. I adore this!

[@sofifreire877]

JOSH CASTILLE TRANSLATED THIS??

[@billfrank1626]

Can not express enough the Pride we have in the job Sandra did on this video and can not thank American Authors enough for giving her the opportunity.

[@thescrapbookofwillowrayne7383]

Yea this video was awesome.

[@MusicCliqueChannel]

"Pride" is another A list song by the American Authors but watching the intensity in which Sandra Mae Frank signs this song is mesmerizing.

[@thescrapbookofwillowrayne7383]

It really is. Sandra did amazing and kept interested in the video.

[@spiinniing]

No okay I am ALL ABOUT this new trend of ASL music videos. I don't even care if bands are just jumping on the bandwagon I encourage MORE to do so! This is so important for deaf and HOH people everywhere. Music is a language of its own, an expression of feelings and stories and heart, and it's so important for those who can't hear it to still be included and be a part of it. Music is for everyone. :)

[@oldforestsystem]

Amy Wallace i agree but there is that problem of people making asl videos that are roughly translated and arent visually pleasing and then its not geared toward non hearing people but towards people who can hear and cant tell that its not accurate signing. this video is one of the really good ones, but their are some bad ones out there.

[@Manami_Miku]

Amy Wallace, Wat about the mute who hear but, not speak. I used to b mute & once in a while, my bf gets upset when, i can't say wat i wan or can't say wat i feel i go back to use A.S.L he then says, "no baby! say it cuz i don't understand which makes both of us sad. I'll help u wit the word, thou okie baby." i say "okie." but, wat about those who r still mute is it okie for them to follow wit music??

[@mischa2643]

Hinata Ann Michaca I think that's totally cool. Sign was created to give a voice to people who otherwise wouldn't have one-that's deaf/hoh people, sure, but also mute people, people with autism spectrum disorders, panic disorders (I have a friend who resorts to sign during panic and dissociative episodes) and learning disability. It's very very important in the deaf community but it's not exclusively ours.

[@thescrapbookofwillowrayne7383]

I love your comment because it is true. Music has been a huge part of my life and when I thought of the deaf community it gave me further encouragement to learn and have a channel to where people can go.

[@kyraleiph]

I want to do something like this!!!! Ever since I took 1 ASL class! Would love a musical in ASL!!!!! Sound and vibrations are part of my animation. (Overwhelming task but I want to do it.) :O a really good translator would really help.

[@XxLeighabehtxX]

I really can't say enough how cool this is to see. I love seeing the deaf community being featured more in the arts (Deaf Spring Awakening was one of the best musicals I had the privileged to see) And Sandra is just a gem. She's so talented and honestly such a sweetheart

[@ameliadornan4917]

whoever thought of asl music videos are a godsend, this is huge for the deaf community. I'm so happy I can actually know what they're saying, captions aren't always reliable

[@macregister3785]

Amelia Dornan same

[@thescrapbookofwillowrayne7383]

You are right which is why I created my channel. The deaf community should be able to enjoy music video like everyone else, however, if the captions are wrong that could be confusing. Love this comment.

[@itsgoshjosh]

No freaking way! This makes me so happy! 😊😊😊😆😆😆 I'm deaf, but still feel the beat to the music. 😄 I'm so happy!!

[@thescrapbookofwillowrayne7383]

This video was awesome and I hope the Deaf Community gets more and more involved and maybe we can be the start to change in this world, where American Sign Language becomes more and more.

[@emrissimmons4197]

I sadly don't speak sign language but I love watching it spoken. Such a beautiful, expressive language. I'd love to see more music videos like this.

[@KLee27533]

Emily Simmons lol no one speaks sign language

[@macm.3889]

K Leigh heh, that is a pretty true statement, but it's not bad to say that 😂 Emily, if you're curious about the regular thing to say, it would be "signed". And you're right, sign language really is quite beautiful!

[@anxietyfartz9794]

I'm HoH so seeing a signed version of one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands made me cry of happiness - and pride lol. This is as awesome as the Deaf character on Supernatural, Eileen (which also made me cry a LOT.) I can't wait to see you guys on Monday in SF!! ❤️ you're amazing and I love your positivity, and your music itself of course.

[@kaylakozielski7000]

american authors in my opinion are one of the top best bands....like if you agree

[@jaderermis7258]

i never gonna sell my soul i think so it has to do with Illuminati. I think so this whole song is about them . Like my comment if you agree

[@zerenity9559]

This is my first time hearing of them... I'm confused. What genre do they fit into?? What are thet about??

[@thescrapbookofwillowrayne7383]

They are awesome. Pompeii is awesome! This is one of my favorites too. Also her signing was great and the facial expressions throughout the video.

[@lunch7213]

This lady's got swag...

[@lnmzq]

I love the sign for "pride". Learned it from this video.

[@stephpiano2908]

I love this so damn much - I started tearing up when she walked into the stage door, I'm so proud of her!

[@WaffleB051]

Wow, great video. The signing is spot on too!

[@IzzyHumair]

+Project Echo Yep! Sandra is a deaf actress so there's no way the signing could be off. #deaftalent

[@WaffleB051]

+Izzy Humair kick ass :D. #deaftalent. I learned some new signs too.

[@jaderermis7258]

i never gonna sell my soul i think so it has to do with Illuminati. I think so this whole song is about them . Like my comment if you agree

[@samanthabartlett2499]

sandra's performance in this video inspired me to learn ASL. I also saw her in season of love and i about fell out of my chair- wish she had gotten more screen time! her acting and her character is SO GOOD.

[@gabrielleholt446]

I'm learning sign language now so I thought this would be a cool video to watch. I'd never heard of the actress or the band and both are amazing! This was awesome!

[@theonewithzen]

KZbin " Kimbra 90's music asl ", this was my first asl song and loved it.

[@thescrapbookofwillowrayne7383]

This video is awesome much agreed!! Also good luck learning, I am getting more fluent myself and it is a fun language! I like it better than my first language (English).

[@noearriola3603]

Wow thx

[@MyleePakinson]

This is amazing. I love the Deaf community is amazing. I am actually studying American Sign Language (ASL) right now and have been for years. I love this music video.!\!!

[@jazduncan5870]

Mylee Parkinson I am deaf

[@krishansaini2965]

I'm deaf too.. i subscribe u😊

[@bookfanatics13]

I swear I could watch her sign all day.

[@billhind9593]

My name is Bill Hind...I was the cab driver in the video...Sandra is not only pretty, but uber smart...she has never let her "handicap" get in the way of living her life to the fullest...genuine pleasure working with her..will have that memory for the rest of my life

[@briannaschmidt2195]

stop I'm emotional she's going to work at a theatre bring back deaf west spring awakening 2k16

[@hopefulstarfish7559]

[@deimoxdakkea8416]

WOW!! ASL and ATMOSPHERE match each other!!! Amazingly

[@thescrapbookofwillowrayne7383]

I seriously cannot get enough of this video!!

[@Sophie-nz9fz]

I got to meet her when she was in spring awakening and she was so incredibly kind and sweet, and she's so talented. loved seeing her in this! more artists should make use of ASL in their videos, it's so beautiful to look at.
