Live, from the Keith Wann show, is “Fireflies” by Owl City; performed by Ally in American Sign Language. 🙂 Thanks to Mina Gordon and Keith Wann for inviting and allowing me to perform! What an opportunity! Also, thanks to Kristen (Zadinak) for the recording. I have a little better version that I’ll upload as soon as I get on DVD, but for now this one will suffice. 🙂 THANKS TO ALL THE YT’ERS THAT CAME OUT TO WATCH AND SUPPORT ME! I LOVE ALL OF YOU!! 🙂 Add yourself as a “fan” on my Facebook Fan Page! 🙂 www.facebook.com Lyrics & GLOSS: You would not believe your eyes, if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep. SUPPOSE HAPPEN FALL ASLEEP. 10 MILLION LIGHT BUGS SPREAD-OUT. YOU AMAZE WILL. Cause they fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhere. You’d think me rude but I would just stand and stare. WHY? EVERYWHERE SPREAD-OUT. LIGHT TEARS DROP DROP DROP. STARE STARE. RUDE I? NO NO. ENTHRALLED. JAW-DROPS. I’d like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly. BELIEVE MYSELF WANT. EARTH PEOPLE LAID-BACK SLOW. BUSY BUSY PUSH-AWAY. Its hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep. Cause everything is never as it seems. SUPPOSE I ASLEEP. PREFER AWAKE? NO. WHY? DREAM DREAM. POP DREAM. Cause I’d Get A Thousand Hugs, From Ten Thousand Lightning Bugs As They Tried To Teach Me How To Dance FIREFLIES MANY MANY INSPIRE-ON-ARMS ME. DANCE THEY TRY TEACH ME. A Foxtrot Above My head A Sockhop Beneath My Bed A Disco Ball Is Just hanging By A thread ….

that was wonderfull and just cause u can’t do it doesn’t mean it is fake good job i am learning sign langue it is a buetiful langue
@17destinyhopecyrus lol, oh yes, her hands have actually been photoshopped on…..
i love this song and you sign s well mabe we could meet somday
@allyballybabe SO TRUE!!! That tatzmania is not nice and he/she keeps saying that he/she can do signing a song for an hour..pfffft.. If I had the chance to reply to his/her post I would’ve said that, you (ally) didn’t just sign the song word per word.. you interpret it..and I think that you try to retain the lyrics of the song as much as possible but you add more twists for a deaf or HOH person to understand more..
Ignorance is not an excuse.
KEEP IT UP ALLY! WE SUPPORT YOU!
GOD BLESS!
i love this… you do an amazng job…. i can sign some but i could never be this good.
Great job! I love it! This is one of my favorite songs and I highly admire your interpretation! Thank you for amazing me! 🙂

That was amazing!! I loved it!!
i love all you videos. could you do give me that girl by joe nichols??
@17destinyhopecyrus what is fake?!
Its fake
i learned so much from you putting the GLOSS up 🙂 Thank you! You did an amazing job.
Man, I want to learn ASL. Good Job!(:
It’s amazing how wonderfully the signing captures the spirit of the song… quite poetic hands! =)
I just start to learn ASL recently, am hard of hearing. I can sign some simple words now. I joined a great deaf daing site, ——–deafmatching dot c om——–, and met some good deaf/HOH friends over there. They help me to learn ASL.
wow that was great I am in a sign language class and ive seen few people who put the heart into signing the songs and it is a realy good work good job
@tatzmania My Lord! That was so ______ ignorant and rude of you! How dare you say that. And for someone who goes to such a high ranked university, you are a huge jerk and should stop watching videos that make you act like a bitch. FYI, asl is a real language unlike your ignorant face and you should be ashamed of yourself. You shouldn’t watch Napoleon Dynamite and talk bad about the sign language scene, and I hope you see all these replies about your assed up self! Have fun in French,u ass
love much “fireflies” so cool.
waouh dance, sign language
I LOVE THIS!! your videos are amazing!
@amybabe099 you know its possible to read lyrics and memorize them right?
you are so cooooool!
my friend taught me some australian sign language (i think its auslan?)
anyway, since then i am mesmorised.
you are a very expressive and beautiful girl =] keep it up!
This seals the deal, SUBBED!!!!
