Embeds allowing bloggers to easily embed videos from Distrify. Just go to any Distrify film page or player and copy the URL. Paste that URL in any WordPress blog and it will automatically be converted to an embedded Distrify player. If you are logged in to distrify.com it will automatically add your affiliate tracking code to your embeds. Make sure you turn on Auto-embeds in your WP settings and also make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post). The plugin also extracts the still image from the film and saves it as the Featured Image for the post. This actually works for any Embed (not just Distrify) that you embed into your WordPress blog.

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

Like most of you I am celebrating Valentine’s today with a loved one(s). and in the spirit of romance I will be posting not a few songs within the amorous vein. And although the William Fitzsimmons‘ The Cure cover “Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want” is sappy and a bit whiny, it fits the mood perfectly. However, Fitzsimmons brings a whole barrel full of sobriety and wholesomeness to the tune unmatched in its fragility and overall tenderness. This song begs an answer to the most prolific question on Valentine’s Day, “Will you be mine?” Peace.
