I love this music video. My dad is deaf, and I grew up immersed in deaf culture. It's always so lovely to see avenues of entertainment normally catered to hearing audiences finding ways to include deaf culture in respectful ways.
I've never seen that before and I love Ed! I think it's BSL. My ASL is pretty limited, but there are signs in that song which I would have recognized if it were ASL. Pretty awesome!
+Alex Yap Just like spoken languages there are different signing languages - for example in America they use ASL (American Sign Language) in Britain/UK they use BSL. I live in Australia and we use Auslan, so even though they are all english speaking countries we all use different types of signs. And just like in spoken language each signed language has dialects, which means that somethings may be signed differently depending on where you are in the country. :)
Because they think Spanish starting in Kindergarten is more valuable, or at least they did in my school. The same Spanish class over and over again for seven years. I have learned more ASL in one year by looking at websites and videos than I learned in seven years of actual Spanish classes. Though I would not try to have a conversation in either language.
Really I'd say that schools don't really have the time to fit the whims of everyone. I want to learn German and that's on me, I don't expect my school to help out.
Whims are not the point. Most people who want to learn a language don’t have “a sudden desire or change of mind, especially one that is unusual or unexplained.” Almost all schools teach Spanish and most high schools offer French, German, and Latin. Very few schools offer ASL unless they have Deaf/HOH students.
I love this! Not only is ASL used, but it's also captioned! As someone with hearing loss, it's so hard to watch videos, movies, shows, even commercials without captions especially. You don't realize what you're missing out on and it's not a fun feeling.
I love it! From what I know of ASL, a lot of it is about your facial expression and that really makes this style of video perfect for the song. The sassiness comes through perfectly!
Ingrid, this touched my heart and gave me chills. It's a good day when you see your favorite artist do something so incredible for differently abled people. Thank you for reminding me how much I appreciate you and your art.
I love ASL, I'm taking a class next year because it's great. One benefit is obviously communicating with deaf people or just people who know asl, but I feel like it's so much more expressive than just normal speaking.
cant believe i just realized this song existed. I've had to heard this before! happy now, Its beautiful and tangible and just a gorgeous melding of feelings. Thank you Ingrid!
I'm a huge Ingrid Michaelson fan anyway( I already have tickets for her concert in Denver in October) but this makes me love her even more. I am fluent in sign language and this is an amazing video. The interpretation is perfect. I'm sharing it with all my deaf ( and non deaf) friends. Thanks Ingrid ! You rock 😍
Actual best music video. I love that Ingrid took a message of inclusivity away from seeing Spring Awakening, and I love seeing these fantastic actors on my screen! Hopefully more artists take a leaf out of her book and start using ASL (or whatever Sign is native to their country) in their music videos!
I loved this song, and I’m a D/deaf teenager, and this was the first kind of song in asl where I didn’t have to have my hearing aids in and I found so ofc I was signing and singing.
There needs to be a button to double like on youtube , just because of videos like this one. Is one thumbs up enough for it's greatness? ..... Oh HELL NO!
This ASL video is absolutely awesome. Your heart is beautiful, the way you connect the world and welcome everyone to it and are included and a part of it. I know of local choirs that invite ALL members from the community to join. You have wonderful soul. The world is better because of you. You never cease to amaze me or touch my heart.
So I don't listen to the radio much, but my friend was listening to the most popular station we get... and this song came on! So glad that more people in the world are gifted the honor of hearing (or signing!) Ingrid's music. She's amazing!
This honestly made me cry. My son has Auditory Processing Disorder and we use sign language to help him understand what we're saying. Seeing the integration of ASL with the music video meant so much to me and him.
Yaaayyyy! First I see the return of Eileen Leahy, a badass deaf hunter (played by 4th-gen Deaf actress Shoshanna Stern), on Supernatural yesterday, and today CZcams shows me this video. This video is a great example of #DeafGain. Everyone can benefit from mainstreaming Deaf culture.
Probably the BEST video I've seen in a while! Combining both deaf and hearing into one excellent video. This majes me want to study asl again, I miss talking to my deaf friends.
I love this so much! My brother is Hard of Hearing and has Down Syndrome so ASL is his first language. Always love seeing it portrayed in music. Beautiful. Definitely sharing this vid with my Deaf friends!
The song the signs the video the actors the vibe EVERYTHING is just perfect! I should have enter the Amazing ASL world earlier. Thank you soo much ❤❤❤ 🤟🏼 Keep it up!
My college friend pick up sign language back in the '70s and now he works up in San Francisco at a deaf University goes to show anybody can learn anything
Stunning video, Ingrid. Your creativity and talent set you far above the rest in music industry, today. I always look forward to watching and listening to your work. Bravo!
And I thought loved this song before- I love it so much more!!! Great job, you guys! I think you a great job making it interesting and accessible for everyone to enjoy! I wish more bands did this!
This is friggin awesome! I remember when I saw you live, I thought you were so cool. This makes you even more awesome, and I'm not even sure how that's possible. You're coming back later this year, and I'm bummed I couldn't snag any tickets 😭
Oh the favorite cast that made history . Now this ! What’s next crew ? Don’t ever stop supporting each other . This is breaking barriers so keep up the good work
I absolutely adore this! Thank you so much! Everyone has a voice!! 😂my son just hit the repeat button! Thank you thank you This actually brings tears to my eyes! I love it
Thanks Ingrid. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the original video and then you go and spread yourself some awareness and knowledge. I learnt some sign language today. :D Have a good day.
i notice this and think its really cool but like, since you pay so much attention to the signing you kinda tune out the words and get really immersed into the language over the music. So it really gives everyone the same effect and thats hella rad.
I'm really glad that I've started learning sign language. The idea that there is a large portion of the population that I have no good way to communicate with is wild.
My two favorite musicals are Deaf West's production of Spring Awakening and Great Comet and watching this on a daily basis technically counts as supporting both of them right
yay! I love it! We all see body language everyday, whether we are deaf or not. And there are so many of the same postures that coexist with the hearing and deaf alike. I LOVE IT!!!! (just an example....WHATEVER....) ;)
I was first introduced to Ingrid Michaelson by Samantha Bee. Not paying much attention to contemporary music and being in Germany, she was unknown to me. But I have to say, I enjoy her music casually and she seems like an awesome person! Girls Chase Boys was amazing as well! :D
Thanks for posting the ASL video, love....LOVE....this video....mostly because of Josh, but the song is great and I love that it is signed (always seems to add something to a video when it is signed)....but yeah....mostly for Josh, hehehehe
not only ASL, but also subtitles - which are pretty rare to find on music videos
I love this music video. My dad is deaf, and I grew up immersed in deaf culture. It's always so lovely to see avenues of entertainment normally catered to hearing audiences finding ways to include deaf culture in respectful ways.
go watch the music video for ed sheeran's you need me i don't need you, i bet you'll enjoy it
This is one of her best music videos best version of this song
I've never seen that before and I love Ed! I think it's BSL. My ASL is pretty limited, but there are signs in that song which I would have recognized if it were ASL. Pretty awesome!
hb86 oh i didn't know there were different kinds of sign languages, yeah it is pretty awesome indeed

Sign language is actually the coolest thing
Ok, I really want to learn sign language now. I can imagine it's such an invaluable skill, and why aren't we all taught it from primary school?
Because they think Spanish starting in Kindergarten is more valuable, or at least they did in my school. The same Spanish class over and over again for seven years. I have learned more ASL in one year by looking at websites and videos than I learned in seven years of actual Spanish classes. Though I would not try to have a conversation in either language.
There is still a desperate need for ASL-Spanish translators! Learn both! Huge need still!!
Really I'd say that schools don't really have the time to fit the whims of everyone. I want to learn German and that's on me, I don't expect my school to help out.
Whims are not the point.

PLEASE do learn it! it is one of the best experiences i have had thus far. i love being involved with deaf culture
I love the look on the boys' faces when they say "boys like you." It's like, "No, we're not talking about you cupcakes, I promise!"
Same!!!!
Me too!
The one in the middle… Omg his “dumb boy face” is so fkn adorable
Am I the only one that prefers this to the actual music video?
Watson Photography nope, I like seeing Ingrids actual real face in this one.
I prefer this one
I like this one better
This video is awesome!
Uhhh... NOPE!
What an ideal crew of backup-singers; enthusiastic, clear and loud.
I love this! Not only is ASL used, but it's also captioned! As someone with hearing loss, it's so hard to watch videos, movies, shows, even commercials without captions especially. You don't realize what you're missing out on and it's not a fun feeling.
I hope the replay button is ready to be broken.
Side note: it'd be great if someone could provide a gloss for the ASL! :D
what?
glossary?
a gloss is basically subtitles/translations for the ASL words! since ASL doesn't match English word-for-word.
Factsssssss lol
She needs to do this for a live performance! It would be awesome!
On SNL!
Yes!
she did
Kalexambing She did 😁
Kalexambing Wtf this song sucks!!
I love it! From what I know of ASL, a lot of it is about your facial expression and that really makes this style of video perfect for the song. The sassiness comes through perfectly!
Awwwww I see familiar faces from Spring Awakening!
Because Ingrid saw them performing that, she decided to collaborate with them. She wrote it on her facebook page.
yess I love them all so much!!!
She's CHAMP!

Dead Inside true, cool video 4 sure
I feel like someone needs to take the time to just say it: Ingrid is an EFFING SMOKE SHOW in this vid like damn 🥵🥵🥵
0:25 His look is so perfect! I don't know who you are but you rock! You convey it all with a single look! Bravo! Superb acting skills!
He's Josh Castille! You should definitely check out some of his other stuff; he translates a lot of songs into ASL.
Ingrid needs to be the musical guest on SNL!
I think she could host as well, she seems very funny!
troo dat!
I agree
cant believe i just realized this song existed. I've had to heard this before! happy now, Its beautiful and tangible and just a gorgeous melding of feelings. Thank you Ingrid!
The sassiness was so clear. Loved it.
I love how many ways there are to say no in ASL

That settles it: I need an Ingrid-composed Deaf West musical directed by Michael Arden STAT :D :D That was so delightful!!
i loved spring awakening when i saw it with deaf west on broadway i love this video so much it makes me so happy
Yesss same!!!
I am so thankful for Josh Castille's presence in the world. That is all.
I loved this so much! ASL is very near & dear to my heart because I spent 3 years learning the language & falling in love with the community.
I love Ingrid so much. This video was so good
im thirsty for the dwsa cast
literally they're all so beautiful that it hurts
IKR
They are all so beautiful :)
I would learn ASL for Daniel. He's so beautiful.
sAME
love the guy with attitude
in love. so proud and in awe of friends. thanks ingrid for making this!
This ASL video is absolutely awesome. Your heart is beautiful, the way you connect the world and welcome everyone to it and are included and a part of it.

She should be the top singer in the world she makes the best songs and they mean so much 😍😘
hi hello

So I’ve been smiling for about half an hour non stop, I love this.
Its so nice to see people recognize the deaf fans especially when everything is based around hearing people. Love this so much
Ingrid, you're amazing. the best singer out there
My HEART is so FULL.
Wow this was so fun and creative! And I love how the deaf community was recognized and portrayed in this music video. More artists should take cue!
her songs always have deep meaning and I love it
I love this so much! My brother is Hard of Hearing and has Down Syndrome so ASL is his first language. Always love seeing it portrayed in music. Beautiful. Definitely sharing this vid with my Deaf friends!

A woman with class.

@ 0:08 did anyone else freak out when Matthew from "Switched At Birth" showed up
††internet princesa†† Yeeeaaahh I was certain !!!
The first time I watched this I was like whattatat
Stunning video, Ingrid. Your creativity and talent set you far above the rest in music industry, today. I always look forward to watching and listening to your work. Bravo!
My grandparents are both deaf and this is absolutely amazing.
I dont know why but the beauty in the music and seeing an actual well produced asl music video made me start sobbing so thank you Ingrid
I haven't heard this song in four years!! It feels like such a long time ago! 😁
I loved seeing all the Deaf West Spring Awakening people in here! My faves
Love, love it. Please do more for our deaf community.
they're all so beautiful!
THANK YOUUUUU, I'm loving this.
Love that this is accessible for the deaf community! Love love love.
Thank you Ingrid, for speaking my language.
This is great! The black interpreter with natural hair has the best faces.
Her name is Treshelle Edmond and she's awesome.
Love this seeing the different signs from the west. like what ever.
No spoken English words can describe my love of this. Only ASL can. Wowowowow can these guys act 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Слёзы на глаза навернулись. Это невероятно. From Russia with L-O-V-E!
Sign language is so beautiful and graceful...
And I thought loved this song before- I love it so much more!!! Great job, you guys! I think you a great job making it interesting and accessible for everyone to enjoy! I wish more bands did this!
The 2 people that disliked this are crazy
A few more crazies now....I pity the fools.
Now 15, I'd like to know why they dislikes 😕
Want her to take him back?
20 dislikes sad.
So are the other 41 dislikes.
Omg I just realised that in the last frame they’re fingerspelling “HELL NO” ! How cool is that
Is there a limit to how unbelieveably awesome a singer can be? Because this woman has really set the bar *VEEEEERY* high.
So beautiful, you Ingrid!
I just emailed NBC to suggest Ingrid as musical guest and host for
SNL!
OMG I l ove iiiit!!!!!!!! You are amazing Ingrid. Much respect. I'm an ASL student and I appreciate this.
Reasons why I love Ingrid✨
I AM OFFICIALLY OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG!
i love you ingrid you are such an inspiration to mankind
This is friggin awesome! I remember when I saw you live, I thought you were so cool. This makes you even more awesome, and I'm not even sure how that's possible. You're coming back later this year, and I'm bummed I couldn't snag any tickets 😭
Oh the favorite cast that made history . Now this ! What’s next crew ? Don’t ever stop supporting each other . This is breaking barriers so keep up the good work
I already had so much respect for Ingrid but now I have 100 times more respect because of this video. I wish that every artist would do this.
I absolutely adore this! Thank you so much! Everyone has a voice!!
😂my son just hit the repeat button!
Thank you thank you
This actually brings tears to my eyes! I love it
ingrid keeps just getting more and more loveable and amazing and ugh i cant deal. i just love her.
Thanks Ingrid. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the original video and then you go and spread yourself some awareness and knowledge. I learnt some sign language today. :D Have a good day.
One of my teachers are deaf in one ear. I'm not deaf but I always enjoy these videos I know others do too but f*** the haters and dislikes!
Multiple loves of my live in one video.... yess!! This is incredible! Thank you! ♥♥
My spring awakening babes are making me cry
i notice this and think its really cool but like, since you pay so much attention to the signing you kinda tune out the words and get really immersed into the language over the music. So it really gives everyone the same effect and thats hella rad.
I'm really glad that I've started learning sign language. The idea that there is a large portion of the population that I have no good way to communicate with is wild.
Everyone in this video is so perfect ❤
DANIEL AND JOSH MY SWEET PURE CHILDREN IM CRYINF
My two favorite musicals are Deaf West's production of Spring Awakening and Great Comet and watching this on a daily basis technically counts as supporting both of them right
I love all the sass! Perfect!
the boy with the cropped hair looked like he was having the time of his life (^/0^)/
yay! I love it! We all see body language everyday, whether we are deaf or not. And there are so many of the same postures that coexist with the hearing and deaf alike. I LOVE IT!!!! (just an example....WHATEVER....) ;)
THIS should be the official video!
OMG I love this. Please don't take this the wrong way, but are all deaf persons this beautiful?
Revisited comment:
Love you, Ingrid!
Much love from Arizona!
Stay awesome!
I love every last bit of this
This is definitely a beautiful recover from a break-up dancing at 2am with your girl squad song
I was first introduced to Ingrid Michaelson by Samantha Bee. Not paying much attention to contemporary music and being in Germany, she was unknown to me. But I have to say, I enjoy her music casually and she seems like an awesome person! Girls Chase Boys was amazing as well! :D
i remember watching this awhile ago and i was so appreciative even tho i am hearing.
Thanks for posting the ASL video, love....LOVE....this video....mostly because of Josh, but the song is great and I love that it is signed (always seems to add something to a video when it is signed)....but yeah....mostly for Josh, hehehehe
