i want back the years that you took when i was young

♫ William Fitzsimmons – I Don’t Feel It Anymore (Song of the Sparrow) I don’t know much about William Fitzsimmons but I do know that he is marvelous. He has a marvelous voice, a marvelous beard, and a marvelous back story. How does someone looking so gruff sound like silk tissues filling with beautiful emotions? Try being raised by two blind parents in a house where musical instruments replaced visual stimuli. Yup, and in rural Pennsylvania, too. I don’t think any of us can even imagine the kind of alternate childhood that would be like, in so many ways. I can, however, imagine waking up to William singing “Good Morning” (below) to me at the foot of my bed. His beard bobbing softly against his chest as the smell of waffles fill my nose and magic fills my heart. 2008’s The Sparrow And The Crow is William’s third album and I have a feeling I need to track them all down. Seems perfect for the long winter of studying and self reflection ahead…
