Blown Away

Blown Away, written by Carrie a country singer, was interpreted in ASL (American Sign Language) by Rosa Lee, a deaf woman.

The message conveyed in the video that she didn't want to dig into her past.  All she wanted to do was wiping out her past, period.

There was a storm in Oklahoma.  The girl lived in a house with her mean alcoholic father while her mother was buried in the grave.  She prayed that the storm would destroy her house because she wanted to clean her past.  It was not enough wind and rain to ravage her past.  She heard the sires coming to her house and she left drunk father sleeping on the chair to hide herself in the cellar.  It was a sweet revenge for leaving her father alone in a room. She wanted a wind to destroy everything in the house.

We know this because the girl obviously suffered and hated past-everything in the house.  The wind represented as a 'eraser of the past' that the girl wanted to purify her past, which might be not pleasure to remember it, and move on to a life without looking back at her past.  Also, the house was probably symbolized as 'past or memories' because of the line---To rip the nails out of the past---in 'Blown Away' that was the girl's desire to wipe out her memories.  There was no regret for her to do that.  She had no love or affection from her alcoholic father since maybe her mother's death?  It sounded like she lived in wrong place and wrong parent who did not nurture her with some love since her mother's death.  It was too depressing for her to live in the same house with her alcoholic father.  She could step out and wanted to do what did she want to instead of holding her desire back.

Take this message to heart because some kids live with ignorant parents or guardians who did not provide with nourishment.  There is no point for kids to smile by remembering their pasts.  Pasts could make some kids feel pain.  Escaping from the pasts without any hesitations is their desires.

Stutter

Stutter by Maroon 5, an American pop rock band, is interpreted in ASL by the certified interpreter, Kelly MGreer.

The message in this song is that the woman obsesses with the man whom she falls in love with him and she makes many expectations for being together with him.  Apart from the female's expectation, the man does not love her.  She stutters him.

The woman sees the man with first sight and tells him that other man sucks.  She exaggerates that he is the one for her, which she would dream of being together with him eternally.  She begs him until the man gives up to have an affair with her.  The man leaves her alone on the bed after the affair that breaks her heart.  She keeps telling him about her dream of being together with him.  She asks him if he feels that way, too.  The man disagrees, but the woman still woos him.  In the end, the man tells her no and walks away from her.

Based on Kelly MGreer's interpretation by using her expression of ASL on two opposite-gendered characters, the woman sensually flirts with the man, but the man has no interests in her.  The woman wants his attention by convincing him that they would be together forever.  In the end, Kelly MGreer shows her role of the man with 'exaggerating frustrated' expression by saying no and walking away from the woman with a huge obsession of him.  They already have a one night stand, though the man does not open his heart to the woman.  It is just a sex to the man, but the woman wants a love instead.  They're on different pages.  After all, they are not compatibility, no chemistry around them for continuing to love each other. 

The message in this song is important that some people fall in love with others at first sights, but the others don't feel the same way as them.  They don't give up no matter what kind of reply they receive from the others.  That's obsession of love.
