I noticed that when hearing musicians set up a group, uses the word "Deaf" in the name of their rock band, like the British own Deaf Havana which came out with their "Sing" video showing a graffiti artist skateboarding across town paint spraying the word "sing" in various language. If these rockers are actually Deaf themselves they would do it differently, paint spraying the word "Sign," that is enough to bridge the gap, breaking down communication barriers around the world.
The video contains no closed-captions so their lyrics are posted below, I challenge the Deaf Havana to perform live in front of a Deaf audience so we can feel the vibrations, and the musicians themselves learn sign language, not relied on interpreters, and redo the video, changing its title to "Sign," so let's sign and sing.
Sing
I wasn't striving for jealousy but I always looked good in green
And the things that I wanted I had all along, I was just too stubborn to see
And the things that I wanted I had all along, I was just too stubborn to see
And we all just sing along, try to struggle on
'Cause we need it, yeah we need it
We all just sing along, try to right the wrongs
'Cause we mean it, yeah we mean it
'Cause we need it, yeah we need it
We all just sing along, try to right the wrongs
'Cause we mean it, yeah we mean it
And I could have moved on faster but I'm still stuck
On the past and the things we'd do
'Cause I heard you bought a house last month
Well good for fucking you
On the past and the things we'd do
'Cause I heard you bought a house last month
Well good for fucking you
And we all just sing along, try to struggle on
'Cause we need it, yeah we need it
We all just sing along, try to right the wrongs
'Cause we mean it, yeah we mean it
'Cause we need it, yeah we need it
We all just sing along, try to right the wrongs
'Cause we mean it, yeah we mean it
We're gonna sing, like we mean it
We're gonna sing, like we mean it
'Cause I mean it this time
I know I took it for granted
But I hope I can change my mind!
'Cause I mean it this time
I know I took it for granted
But I hope I can change my mind!
And we all just sing along, try to struggle on
'Cause we need it, yeah we need it
We all just sing along, try to right the wrongs
'Cause we mean it, yeah we mean it
'Cause we need it, yeah we need it
We all just sing along, try to right the wrongs
'Cause we mean it, yeah we mean it
And we're gonna sing, like we mean it
('Cause we mean it, yeah we mean it)
We're gonna sing, like we mean it
('Cause we mean it, yeah we mean it)
('Cause we mean it, yeah we mean it)
We're gonna sing, like we mean it
('Cause we mean it, yeah we mean it)
Like we mean it
