William Fitzsimmons is dependable, like the constant sun and the enduring moon. His is a sound uncontrived and without artifice or unnecessary embellishments. On his latest work, the album Pittsburgh leaves my soul ajar letting the beauty of its continual gifts to drift in.
One would think that with such refined and eloquent talent Mr. Fitzsimmons would be one of the most popular acts performing today. But there is something to be said about having him all to ourselves. There is a kind of secret beauty in that too. Thank you William for another collection of beyond beautiful songs.
The latest body of work, Pittsburgh is a collection of 7-songs finished with rigid and artful integrity wielded deftly with refined constraint. Peace.

Pittsburgh Lyrics:
Should you survive the fall from branches we have climbed and lost yourself in years
the ones we left behind
Should rivers run between your frozen heart and mine and words we spoke so young
were cast before our time
I’ll come for you if you want me to
Should all your sons forgive their fathers where they fell and wrap them for the cold
to rest their winters well
I’ll come for you if you want me to
I’ll come for you if you want me to, Pittsburgh
I Had To Carry Her (Virginia’s Song) Lyrics:
I saw her lying there on the table buried in flowers cross that I made for her
Kneeling beside you next to my mother weeping like willows
I had to carry her
I’m sorry it took me two years to come home
Ive been so busy you should see how the kids have grown
I’ll tell the children how much you loved them
They’ll never know you
I had to carry her
