Sign Language (Feat. Wynter Gordon)
He was an average teen, he partied often and he sagged his jeans
Sat in the very back of the class so he could nap and dream
And fantasize about the girl he was obsessed with
The one who stole his heart and always kept it
'Cause ever since the seventh grade, she was always standin' in his center stage
But every time he tried to talk to her, she would just step away
And though she never spoke to him, it didn't matter
'Cause Billy never liked the chit-chatter
So what if a little passive? To him she was attractive
He could sense a massive personality perfectly by the way she acted
Plus she wrote poems for the paper every month
It was the lines on the page that had him fallin' in love
But he never told his friends, they would say that he was crazy
So no one ever found out that Billy liked Amy
He just gracefully endured, being blatantly ignored
But sooner or later, Billy wouldn't take it anymore
So he's takin' his chances, tired of all the wasted advances
Sick and tired of never havin' dates for the dances
If he wanted Amy he needed to step it up
So one day he stopped her by her locker to confess his love
And he told her that she was beautiful and lit up his sky
Like, "Columbus with a compass would get lost in your eyes"
But she didn't respond, just gave him a weird look
She tried to give him a shrug but she was carryin' books
But that was all that it took, he put himself out there and he got crushed
So he had to run away before the tears rushed
A whole week, he locked himself in his apartment
'Cause he didn't have the strength to face the world so broken-hearted
After seven days of darkness, got a letter in the mail
But before he even looked at it, he let that ship sail
He was too concerned with all the sadness in his life
So instead of a letter opener he grabbed a kitchen knife
She was far from your average teen, the quiet type who never had a scene
Studied often and wrote poems for the school magazine
She had a little secret and she always kept it
There was a boy that she was obsessed with
So when she wrote a poem for the school paper every month
Every line on the page was dedicated to her crush
But she never told her friends, they would say that it was silly
So no one ever found out that Amy liked Billy
'Till the day that Billy stopped her by her locker during school
But she couldn't understand him and responded like a fool
And gave him a weird look
She tried doin' sign language, but she couldn't 'cause she was carryin' all her books
See, even though Amy was equally obsessed
She was too embarrassed to tell him that she was born deaf
Avoided him at school, but to make her love known
She would leave him little signs through the lines of her poems
So she sent one to his home, after seven days passed
'Cause it seemed like Billy wasn't showin' up to class
So she's going home confused, trapped in the worst mood
Flippin' on the TV to a tragic story on the news
It was the picture of your average teen, all it said was this:
"LOCAL TEEN SUICIDAL WITH A KNIFE TO HIS WRIST"
At the scene where he died was a letter never read
From a girl named Amy and it said:
I wanna show you that I care
But I don't have the nerve
I wanna say I love you
But I can't find the words
I wish that you could know how I
Really felt all of this time
But no matter what I do
You can't see the signs

It is almost a crime that this song doesn't have millions of views.
@cantoncanyon algorithm. Funny you bring this song back to my mind.
Been listening to this song since it came out. It’ll never get old.
Me too
Facts! This will forever be up there! I need new music!
Kinetics IQ is 201... He's one of the smartest people to ever live. Even though he dropped out of Cornell University he still managed to use his intelligence on his Music. His lyrics show it. Glad I found him.
3 reasons why I love this music video
1. the song is amazing
2. Wynter Gordon beautiful
3. Dylan owen is in it
How does this video only have 329k views??? This should have millions. So amazing and deep.
+Matt Because it doesn't appeal to the majority of people because it's not dumbed down.
SERIOUSLY. This just pop'd up on my recommended again... throwback for me, but in 7 years only 606k views?!
Only 615 k now . . Should be mills
Because people would rather listen to mumble rap. Sad times.
THIS is music. This is deep, emotional, just UNREAL lyrical genius. WOW. I can't believe Macklemore got grammys for talking about fucking going shopping at a store with twenty dollars in his pocket, and THIS TALENT goes unrecognized. You and Dylan Owen both deserve MASSIVE record deals, the world needs to be blessed with your talents.
Agree with them being unrecognized but do not diss Macklemore he is actually real and talks about problems in the world listen to some of his other music
One1Legion Macklemore is still fucking awful
Maybe you should listen to some other Macklemore songs before you comment something stupid like this. Thrift shop was just a fun song. Maybe you should pay attention to his other song same love then say something.
I've listened to his EP and his album lol. He's just a mediocre rapper in general. His lyrics are the worst, though. Even his "deep" songs like "Same Love" and "Otherside" have really cheesy lyrics.
He has a great image, just doesn't have the talent to back it up.
I used to listen to this on the bus on the way to highschool 😭💙9 years later it’s randomly popping up on my radar. Fate🖤
Jahhaj this actually has to be one of the most underrated songs I've ever heard
People underrate this song probably because they're too busy either listening to rap that's all about bitches and money or too busy trying to find the best lyricism, instead of actually taking in the meaning of the song.
Ben Sullivan Some people are so fucking dumb XD
Still out here jammin 9 years later
One of the most beautiful songs I've heard.
This is what rap is about. its refreshing to hear real rap again with meaning.
My boy showed me this song when it came out in 2012. We were just 19 at the time. Now he’s in the army and I haven’t seen him since. I texted him yesterday to say “what was that one song? The rapper with the Mike Shinoda / Atmosphere style with the girl singing the chorus” and he knew right away this is what I was looking for. Kinetics, if you read this, this is a truly timeless piece of music. Thank you
The voices of both Wynter and Kinetic is what makes this song. Besides the lyrics that are deeper then the titanic his voice is like deep and you can feel it, and on the other side, her's is like so soothing and heart felt. This song is on repeat all day
i cry everytime i hear this lovely song
i still cry every time i listen to this song
My sister is deaf so believe me its not a easy thing to hide especially for the length of time it takes to develop the amount of love billy has in the song... and for those two reasons I mentioned above this song can not be held on Stans level or Eminems song writing skills surpasses this. I wont lie tho this was refreshing to see a concept artistic hiphop thanks!
for 4 minutes and 47 seconds you get lost in the music..... then you rewind it and do it all over again.. get ready for the respect you deserve K & OL #youarenotalone
You gotta love the fact that One Love is in every music video. It just shows how much Kinetics respects One Love. There is nothing better then making music with your best friend for the rest of your life.
2022 and still listening to this song! Such an amazing song
I still love this song so much ... it's so underrated
that deep moment you have a tear run from your eye and you feel the pain. priceless
This is beyond beautiful poetry
Wow. That song with this story is really addictive
Yup, still listening. Deep Kinetics voice is just insanely good and flows amazingly with the instrumental and Wynter's feat
I honestly have no idea how this video doesn't have tens of millions of views.
still bump this
Now THIS is poetry at its finest. I love the role reversal of the lyrics it's perfect. Please replace Shakespeare with this in schools haha. I can just sit here all day in awe listening to the words and admiring the creativity of the whole song.
+Maita Selina Shakespeare is irreplaceable.
This was such a beautiful song.. Needed much more exposure...
this is the first song that has ever made me cry.
I never really cry... But a tear slipped out of my eye when I listened to this...
Why does this not have a billion views?!
This was in my recomended
This song deserves 100 million views!!
This song is underrated and i don't say that often
Underrated af. This is art.
Bro, this song used to be the shit when we’d smoke and vibe to back in 2011
Legit still doing it hah
The best song of my life :) it should have billions of views for real
This song touches me man.. I agree 100%
plz sub me : )
AuraGary At least more than a million
AuraGary AURA??????? IS THAT YOU?
Sara|sarraa yea xD
chills just ran down my spine, and goosebumps formed all over me , that was insanely good .
Kinetics & One Love = Dopeness ! & that Chorus is just Perfect !! TUNE
This song is a perfect example of what i call beautiful music #Strong lyrics
The context of this song really put a damper on my day
This is one og the bet songs ever!!! Much better than all the mainstream stuff
People need to recognize, this is the music we need to be playing on the radio. Not that garbage thats on it 100 times a day. Keep them coming. I'm spreading the word!
i still listen to this song and cry every time. it will always have a place in my heart.
I literally get goosebumps and chills every time I listen to this song! It's amazing!
If you read some interviews where Kinetics talks about this song he explains how Billy was suffering from depression and had suicidal tendencies. He wrote this song after a string of suicides at the college he attended at the time Cornell, in this song he's not just telling a tragic love story but explaining the thought process and perspective of a teenager whose mental health is deteriorating. If you listen to the song with this knowledge it's easy to see why Billy behaves the way he does.
you know a song's good when it makes you cry
Holy fuck, there is so much meaning behind this. Never quit.
This is still one of the deepest song's that I've ever heard
MAN .... ! how is this not in the top ten songs ever made !
+yadav heeramun Yeah definitly bro
One of the best Songs of the World
Still listening in 2021!
I've been listening to this song since it came out and I have never watched the music video until now...
this is one of the best song it should be on the radio
Love the song and the story behind it! ♡
Bloody love this song and I’m a metal head! Always had a small collection of good hip hop songs and this is one of them, it should have more views
Songs never make me emotional but i am in tears
blows me away that this song and this group didnt make it big... this is so powerful.
How the hell did this song not get any real recognition. It's amazing.
I wish it still had the whole poem.. But I'm so glad they made a video for this amazing song
Its November 2018 and I’m still listening to this :’(
Sept 24. 2024.. Current Views 651k ... THIS SONG NEEDS A MILLION
After 8 years this song still succesfully manages to break my heart. The saddest love story of all 😫 however, still love this song 💚
They look like a pretty good age for this story. It really enforces the ideas because it shows that even older people can go through this.
Genius,deep,great,epic,emotionally,good,strong.
I heard this song once and I just fell in love. This song is the epitome of tragic beauty.
And Wynter Gordon is the shizzzzz. What a chorus.
I love the orchestral version, definitely need to get this song out!
No song that I've ever heard was more powerful and moving than the orchestral version of this song that Kinetics released over the summer, if you haven't heard it yet you should definitely go check it out, it's incredible
This song deserves more views
Goddang I just got blown away holy crap that story. Wow im speachless
This hit me in the feels
This is probably 1 of the greatest songs of our time. Wit all the "bullying" & "problems" people are facing n taking their own lives, it's an anthem for our generation. THE REALEST SONG OUT BY FAR & it's all done by K&OL without having a major deal. They did this on their own, no help from big $ labels. Any criticism any1 has bout this should really look in the mirror n fix ya face. People always gon' hate, the same people that think 2chainz is the greatest rapper. STFU n stop hiding behind a SN
This was so amazing. I almost cried.
wynter gordon is an amazing artist! great song.
The message of this song is so true
i wish i could made music with them :(
WHY ISNT THERE ANY NEW SONGS. U GUYS WERE KILLING ITTT!!!!
no matter what I do, u can't see the signs!!! love this song!!! 💔
That song made me cry several times. I'm in love with it :-)
Awesome text with great singer's ;-)
imma be here forever
Beautiful 2022
loved it a year ago... still lovin it . amazing
this song broke my heart
same
if this doesnt prove how talented Kinetics & One Love are idk what will.... amazing to get a video finally to this incredible song
I enjoyed this song very much great video great beat great flow and delivery great chorus quality was industry standard... miss hiphop like this.
One Love is behind the track production on most of their songs, he's a Dj and Producer
Love this song, but I actually think the video hit it home. Love it! It is my now my new obsession!
Mad talent and such a strong song, deserves so many more views!!! Keep it up
This is so great. I tells an awesome story, and a great beat. I almost cried.
I am not crying... My eyes are just sweating
Yoooooooooo the track was fire! i wasnt expecting it to be that good but it def was! Glad i clicked on this.
i love this song
its been a long road getting this one out. one of the greatest examples of kinetics masterful ability to twist and mold lyrics to tell a beautiful yet heart wrenching story. by far the best video by K-1L. also, that sexy dude in the back at :26!!!
Her voice
Never knew there was a video for this gem!
Dude this is probably the deepest song I've ever listened to, so well written too. I've been listening to this for years and still amazes me every time. Truly underrated.
this is the deepest song ive heard ever. I'm sure everybody has felt like billy and amy before.
Had this beautiful work of art suggested to me through my Discovery Mix recently, after listening to one of Wynter Gordon's other songs. Thank you Spotify... but WHY have I never heard this before. Such a deeply emotional & tear jerking track, which many many people can either relate to or empathise with.
this music video deserves way more views!
