RE: Help with a song for interpretation in ASL

[Guest guest]

I thought most of you know this song " Wonder " by Merchant. Anyway,

for my one of my interpreting classes I need to do a song in ASL. Since I

can't do a kids song, I thought of this song because I love the song and the

words make me think of my own life. But, do you know if this song is really

about what I think it is about? Seems like it is about a baby born with

differences and no one can figure out why it happened or what to do but the

child is destined to be successful with love and patience and faith (as the

song says).

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Debbie,

what a good question about the meaning of the song. I know I have heard it, but

at the moment cant' recall it. BUT....if that is what it means to you, who is

to say that the interpertation is not exact? I know there is a way to look

songs up on the internet--google Merchant, her sites should come up and

then there is usually a " discography " and you can pick a song and it will give

the " Calling All Angels " UNBELIEVEABLE!!!

Good luck.

I have always thought of Aubrie when I listen to that song. It's one of my

favorites. I don't know if it's really got a different meaning.

Wow, thats a really nice song. I dont think ive heard it on the radio

though. Just listened to a sample off the internet. Really pretty. I

should tell my local radio station to play it. Im sick of some of the

hip hop rap crap that our station plays. They went from jaz to hiphop

rapcrap. Dunno why. But they did. lol

i agree with pam

song interpretation seems (to me) be very personal and if we're supposed to

portray the 'presenter's intent and you are the 'presenter' then it is the

meaning that YOU reap from the song that should be conveyed -- if i

were performing my song for Visual/Gestures (and i will be next semseter) i

would (will) consult with my teacher about the interpretation and the intent

of the lyrics...

keep me posted - i'll be doing this in the fall!

daughters eyes " by a Mcbride, " I am " by Duff, and " Gods

Will " by a Mcbride. I love a she makes me smile and cry

with all her music!!

Chantelle-

That's Shania Twain. Can't remember the title -- maybe " Looks Like We Made

it " . Reminds me of my husband and I. We got married way too young -- 18

and 21. We've been through so much I can't believe we're still here.
