The East Pointers - Wintergreen

[@Cammackaveli]

The lady doing the sign language in this video has an infectious way of making me smile throughout the video.. Her positive energy is just exuding from her soul outward.

[@RhonaMiller]

Her name is Emma Watkins she's a current member of the Australian children's band the Wiggles and she's pretty awesome

[@lahencke]

@@RhonaMiller I CANT BELIEVE IT!!! I was like.. that HAS to be Emma!

[@louisegreen5228]

She’s literally so good at it that she made a career out of it! Haha

[@terrislocumstierwalt5743]

Same for me. 😊

[@nancyassaf1994]

She is definitely an Irish step dancer!!

[@Hannaco33]

Every so often a song comes along that makes the world a better place. This is one of them!

[@WmRob]

Just heard this song as the theme song to Under the Vines immediately loved it. What a wonderful video.

[@kennywatkins7646]

Haha me too, such a good song

[@lianereinshagen4204]

Absolutely fantastic. And I love the signing… beautiful

[@MightyMouse350]

this show is a year old? oh. just watched the finale on TVNZ. enjoyed it. got better each episode, last 3 were great.

[@waearth500]

Same. Had to google it😂

[@elouise5593]

Me too!

[@themoley91]

Top 10 Crossovers Nobody Expected: Canadian folk music and the Wiggles. The song is gorgeous btw.

[@jwagsftw]

Didn't realize it was Emma until seeing your comment. Last time I saw them Tim was saying they just went to a Wiggles concert because they know them. So actually an expected crossover for me. Haha.

[@chucklipsig2595]

In both directions. There's a segment on the Wiggles that has them with Tim Chaisson, singing "Squid Jiggin' Ground." My infant grandson will bounce along in time with it.

[@oliviannichole]

I KNEW IT OMG

[@createtrouble]

There are few people in life and rarely in person who hypnotise you with their speech or movement but Emma is one. She is truly beautiful in her grace

[@brooke3724]

Yes

[@Heartofthehighlands]

Love the intersection of sign language and dance! Will definitely be considering this song for highland dance choreography.

[@mandynicholson9475]

My husband and I just recently visited PEI to celebrate our ten year wedding anniversary. This song was released just as we were preparing to leave to make our way to the Rollo Bay Fiddle Festival for the first time. Our youngest child immediately spread out her arms and began twirling the first time we played it. Now when it's on, my memories are driving over the bridge, windows down, Wintergreen loud. We missed the merch. at the festival because we had Sunday tickets and most things were sold out, but we got to leave with the memory of the Sunday evening Barn dance. We love The East Pointers and their passion for their music and their island. Their sound is unlike any other, because they play who they are and from where they've come.

[@michelecs7877]

Listening to a band I love. My heart is heavy today and I send much love out to all of those who are closest. What a gift to have had the moments to create together.

[@michelehappy374]

Sending you love and renewed energy from your troubles. It's gonna be alright 💕

[@CJA8753]

Enjoying your music watching Under the Vines on Acorn tv hi from Aberdeen Washington

[@colincarlson2716]

This song just put my "very upset" 1.5 year old to sleep , my mind is blown, you are talented beyond words and whoever the girl is dancing ......... all around WOW !

[@michaelmcguire650]

Colin Carlson her name is Emma Watsin and her personal channel is here which expresses some of her hobbies / passions: kzbin.info/door/TDHxzUNzVrCEY88yTtz59g She is also very famous in Australia for being “Emma Wiggle” (the yellow wiggle) and is looooved by about a million Australian children. This video will show you the crowds she (and the Wiggles) get. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZq4dHSpgKpofbs My 3 year old idolises her. She uses sign language, dances, is a cinematographer and a passionate spokesperson for endometriosis. And she still volunteers at her old dance school ...

[@annrushton7521]

What a beautiful song and video! I heard the song at the beginning of the show "Under the Vines" and had to look it up immediately. Love it! Blessings.

[@Knivesout101]

A song straight from the heart will always shine through.

[@NTV-mj8fc]

I have never seen such beauty in signing and dancing. I cried watching this..and I hope to see more of you signing/dancing. Thank you for bringing love, warmth and beauty to my otherwise boring existence, I am truly blessed to have seen this and I truly and humbly honour you for this piece of heaven. Thank you.

[@keithkale6538]

Such a beautifully written and performed song. Music has a way of moving and lifting people up making them feel joy and happiness and this song kind of caught me like that right out of the gate. The guy has a great voice. When I first heard it watching under the vines I would have sworn it was Keith Urban.

[@michaelmiller-hr6vz]

Dancing hands! This song has a Keith Urban vibe!

[@RichardAndersonNewZealand]

that's who i thought it was when i first heard it on Under The Vines :)

[@DianaLambActor]

Every once in a while there is a song that is trasportive. It takes your spirit to a new place!

[@tsw1963]

This song is so good. Love the lady in the video. She gives so much to the song. Great choice!!❤

[@leadouglas695]

One of the most unaffected and stunningly beautiful vocal performances ever.

[@theKonamacona]

I found this song whilst going through a breakup with my ex-fiancé. This song has been my rock since then, I will never stop listening to it, it's now my anthem. Thank you so much East Pointers, from the UK.

[@robertlovelady8645]

Currently, my favorite song! 🥰

[@breannawood4094]

This video is amazing on so many levels. I'll start with the music the song is awesome and it's a great spin on music that is made here in the Maritimes you guys did an exellent job with this song. Next Emma signing, Emma is amazing and a great advocate for sign language she inspires children all over the world to try sign language and she uses it for many different songs in The Wiggles. Then there's combining the music and signing together. Emma signs in Auslan (Australian sign language) and then we have your song and your band which is Canadian, this helps us be more connected with the people in Australia some people even say that Canadians are very much like Australians and what better way to show it than with this. So all in all this video is amazing and there's so much talent in it in Emma as she signs and dances and you guys as musicians with creating this song really makes the beauty of this video and connecting both countries together. I'd give this video a 10 out of 10.

I'm adding your comment on my Facebook post of this gem. I could not have said it any better. I might also add that the lyrics are also very poignant. Uplifting at any time. The combination of artistry is awesome.

[@daveomega7660]

R.I.P Koady. Thankful for the mandolin lessons he taught me at a music camp in summer 2015. A really nice guy who was so open to talk and never once made me feel unwelcome to talk and hangout with him, Tim and Jake.

[@tsw1963]

I keep this song on loop. Can listen to it time after time. Love it. If I feel down, this song makes me dance it off. Dance no matter what. Even if you look silly. Just dance ❤

[@BugCatcherJamesTruly]

This. Song. Is. Everything. Immediately when I heard it, I sent it to everyone I could think of. Way to fill my heart with so much joy. What a cool way to portray the lyrics with Australian Sign Language! Thanks for inspiring me, East Pointers. Looking forward to hearing more tunes.

[@CanadianClub]

Interesting. I learned something new today. I wonder what the difference is between AUSLAN and ASL? Do accents in sign language even exist?

[@KerryHands1]

Love this song and Emma signing enhances its beauty

[@martinwalsh2888]

Was lucky to see the east pointers live at a gig in Inverness last Sunday loved it

[@chr970]

Martin, just read your comment from the CBC article about Koadys passing. So I assume Inverness as in Scotland, not Inverness Cape Breton NS. Nice knowing these talented lads and their music reached out over the world. A sad day, I believe their music will continue on.

[@Shendersonsports3003]

@@chr970 I can confirm that these lads now have a following in Scotland. I saw them supporting Peat & Diesel in Edinburgh back in November and I instantly fell in love with their music. Heartbroken that Koady is no longer with us

[@michaelflyfisher5092]

What wonderful energy she transfer through the video to me, not easy top be sad or low energy when you watch her.

[@BeingLolaStar]

Heard the song on CBC, and when I got home I looked it up right away. Realized this wasn't ASL, then realized this was the yellow Wiggle. Now I'm going down a rabbit hole looking up stuff about the Yellow Wiggle again. This is the third time this woman has randomly snuck into my life and blown me out of the water. I am so confused and fascinated.

[@kellymessenger8188]

What a beautiful song, and what a lovely surprise to see Emma Wiggle starring in the video! My toddler was especially excited. I have loved the East Pointers for a fair few years now, but it was really cool to see them performing folk music on a few episodes of The Wiggles show that I watch with my son. And now Emma is performing with them- such an unexpectedly cool collaboration!

[@Rose_Society_ofSouth_Australia]

Simply joyous.

[@dawnburke7262]

This song is amazing and I can't help but to listen to it on repeat. THEN, I saw the music video, all I can say is WOW! Emma's dancing and signing performance was inspiring; a true work of art. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I can't wait to hear the rest of The East Pointers album. Counting down the days till your performance at the Gateway in Calgary.

[@ecopeiproject]

Wonderful song & video! Lyrics: Let it breathe, if it doesn't breathe, it's gonna die Let us see, if you let it be, is it gonna fly? Set it free And if it leaves we say goodbye The web we weave And then we grieve & then we cry I want to tell you before I forget You're doing well You know you're living it You're gonna make it no matter how hard it gets Despite the darkness Some of these days CH: Wintergreen can't outshine your radiance Wintergreen or undermine your salience Wintergreen I love you more than anything Wintergreen despite the darkness Some of these days Let it go But you should know You're on my mind & let it flow It breaks the other chains and tracks of space and time And if you grow beyond the world that we defined Just let me know that you're gonna be alright I want to tell you before it's too late You had it all going on right out of the gate You never faked it or phoned it in Despite the darkness Some of these days The way up and the way down are one in the same I'm calling an audible late in the game If love is everything, love is pain Certain spirits are too bright to be tamed Can't outshine your radiance Or undermine your salience Or redefine your sentience Despite the darkness Some of these days

Just found this song it is great. The video is great and thanks to you I can now sing along. Very much appreciate your act of kindness.

[@QuickeMart]

Just to be clear, comment on this post or on the KZbin video itself? :) (I'll comment on both just to be safe) The teaser you posted for Wintergreen excited me and I was literally counting the days until it's full release. I woke up the morning of the release and the first thing I did was listen to it and I was instantly in love! Since then I have had it on repeat and added it to all of my favourite playlists. If I feel myself beginning to falter, I listen to it and find myself carried away to a brighter place, where I can't help but feel happy and rejuvenated. Then the video was released and the happiness in my heart just exploded. I am hearing myself, but spent many years learning New Zealand Sign Language and have many wonderful friends in the Deaf community. Sign Language is such a beautiful language and it translates so beautifully and seamlessly into art forms, in this case dance and music. It makes my heart happy to see it expressed in this manner. And especially as a part of a music video for my favorite band of all time. The video captures the essence of the song, carefree and whimsical, full of joy and hope. It is beautifully presented and a joy to behold. I am beyond thankful for what your music does for myself and so many others.

[@chookychannel]

This is a beautiful song with an amazing clip that sets a unique pathway to extend the audience remember to keep those bassey beats and reverbs at the gigs so they can be truly sensory. Thank you to you and Emma for this experience.
