Jonathan Coulton – Blue Sunny Day – ASL Song


Jonathan Coulton’s “Blue Sunny Day” in Sign Language. This one’s about a lonely vampire lamenting the sunny days he can never enjoy. More ASL songs by JoCo on the way, I promise! Early light that burns my eyes, MORNING LIGHT EYES-HURT A minute more the sun will rise 1-MORE MINUTE SUNRISE And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold PAINT-SKY GOLD I’ll be dead asleep by then, FUTURE I SLEEP Shut up in this box again (CL: BOX AROUND ME) Until it’s gone UNTIL SUN LEAVE Outside I can hear it I HEAR Birds are singing, bees are buzzing, sun shines overhead BIRD MUSIC, BEE [FLYING], SUN [SHINING] I’d be there to see it but I can’t get out of bed I GO OUTSIDE BUT CANT GET-UP Since the day you left the weather always feels this way SINCE YOU LEAVE ME WEATHER ALWAYS SAME One more blue sunny day 1-MORE BLUE SUN-SHINING DAY Looking for an easy mark LOOK-FOR EASY MEAL I hit the Denny’s after dark NIGHT GO-TO DENNYS And take a lonely waitress home to drink, BRING LONESOME WAITER GIRL HOME NECK-BITE DRINK She’s sincere, but halfway through SHE HONEST, BUT HALF I find I’m wishing she was you I WISH SHE-YOU [IX-SAME] My blood goes cold MY BLOOD BECOME COLD I guess this date is over NOW THIS DATE FINISH Several hours later I’m the only one awake SEVERAL HOUR LATER I ALONE AWAKE All these streets are empty, it’s just me and my mistake ALL STREET EMPTY, I ALONE WITH MY MISTAKE One by one the stars go out as black sky turns to gray STARS ONE-BY-ONE COVERED, SKY BLACK BECOME GRAY One more .

  1. Hehe we watched this in ASL class and i fell in love with this song. Too bad its not on itunes yet 🙁

    The album this was on is “The Aftermath.” You can probably go get it at JoCo’s website.

    **reposted for linkspam fail. Silly me.

  3. Huh. *I* thought it was about a really depressed guy. He just went through a bad break up (and he literally did. lol), and he tries to cope but can’t get the thought of his last GF out of his head.
    I’m wrong. Turns out, he’s a vampire. Oh, JoCo is creative.
    I have a discography of him, but this song isn’t in it. Does anyone know what album this song is on?

  4. Lol…I’m dumb I never cought that joke about taking the waitress home to “drink”

  5. The world needs more people like you. Seriously. Love it, and I can’t even understand any form of sign language.

  6. I don’t know why, but this video always makes me smile…It’s amazing how you translate the meaning and the atmosphere of the song CaptainValor. THANK YOU!!!

  7. if you put on the CC and gloss you can see what the lyric is and how he translates it, and thats roughly how sign language really is. well ASL…SEE(signed exact english) would be more a literal translation

  8. I love Coulton’s songs. And this just adds a different slant to them. I love to see songs done in ASL. It’s very pretty.

  9. @jousting999 Actually JoCo did have him go up on stage at one concert to do the ASL for one song. I can’t remember what/where but the vid is on youtube.

  10. He doesn’t sing these songs, he just ASL’s them. Jonathan Coulton sings these just perfected video that was made March 29 2009. No Jonathan does not interact with CaptainValor. But I wish they would, because a live performance would be the BEST!
