Love Is Blind

I have been really into William Fitzsimmons the past couple of days, maybe that explains why I am so angsty lately. This is a man who knows how to write depressing songs (they are simply amazing). I was listening to 90.9 the other day and heard about his past and how he learned music and it is sort of a contradiction to his style.

Both of his parents were (or are) blind and they taught Fitzsimmons to play and appreciate music. When I hear about his parents I cannot help but think of this truly happy couple who lived life and made music together even though the world viewed them as missing something. I see them wanting to teach their son the beauty of music that most of us neglect. I want to believe they had it all. They had passion, love, and a family, and in the end isn't that all we really need in this world.

just a thought.
