This song, which sings of the sense of loss and loneliness after losing a loved one, was released in 2018 and won Song of the Year at the 2019 Brit Awards.

Lewis Capaldi created it with thoughts of his late grandmother, and it appears on his debut album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent.

The music video was produced in collaboration with an organ donation charity, and it has been covered in sign language, moving many people regardless of hearing ability.

Sunflower- Post Malone and Swae Lee (ASL/PSE COVER) Sign Language

Released in 2018 as the lead single for the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, this song is a superb collaboration between Post Malone and Swae Lee.

Its sound blends dream pop and hip-hop, mirroring the coming-of-age story of the film’s protagonist, Miles, and conveying the heartfelt emotions of someone who, while on the verge of losing themselves, longs for a bond with someone important.

Soon We’ll Be FoundSia

Sia – Soon We’ll Be Found

Here’s a piece I’d love you to pay attention to as it opens up a new way to enjoy music.

Released in 2008 from the album “Some People Have Real Problems,” it’s a ballad where orchestral strings and piano intertwine with Sia’s soaring vocals.

The lyrics, themed around reunion and connection, poignantly measure the emotional distance between people.

Most notable is the music video directed by Claire Carré, which features Sia singing while expressing the lyrics in American Sign Language.

Combined with shadow play and fluorescent body paint, the visuals elevate the beauty of sign language into visual poetry, and the video was selected as a free download on the iTunes Store in November 2008.

It delicately portrays a state of loneliness that still refuses to give up hope, and is recommended for anyone who wants to experience a new kind of emotion born from the fusion of sign language and music.

Blinding LightsThe Weeknd

Blinding Lights- The Weekend (ASL/PSE COVER) Sign Language CC*

This track from the album “After Hours” conveys the intense heartache and loneliness felt on a nighttime drive, set to an ’80s-style synth-pop sound.

While the melody and beat are uplifting, the lyrics repeatedly express the poignant refrain of “I can’t see without you.” It was also used in a Mercedes-Benz campaign and performed at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2021.

The retro tones and driving rhythm are exhilarating—perfect for when you want to boost your mood.

And as the viral TikTok dances showed, expressing it in sign language can help share the music with even more people around the world.

Anybody (ft. Nicki Minaj)Young Thug

Young Thug – Anybody (ft. Nicki Minaj) [Official Sign Video]

The track by Atlanta-based Young Thug featuring the queen of female rap, Nicki Minaj, was released in April 2018 as the lead song from his three-track EP Hear No Evil.

Its most distinctive feature is a music video performed entirely in sign language.

Reflecting the EP’s concept—created in honor of his brother who is deaf—the artist himself does not appear; instead, an interpreter conveys the lyrics in sign language, presented with stark black-and-white visuals.

It’s a trap number where Thug’s signature melodic flow intersects with Minaj’s razor-sharp bars, and it was certified RIAA Gold in July 2019.

An ambitious work that points to new possibilities at the intersection of music and sign language.
