  • growing a beard right now, hoping it'll look as awesome as his =)

  • i don't even remember how I found him... but my god he's changed my life <3

  • /watch?v=sQXhBY5hl1Q

    This is a cool remix of this song, its good!

  • took me this long after i first heard it on teen wolf 2 find this song.. love it.

  • This just shows not to judge people.... you never know what they go through, what amazing talents they have, what beautiful voices in them, and so on....

    This artist has given me a great strength to move on from things.... given me strength to just feel the pain but to move on from it.... so i may heal everyday with just knowing that someone else gets it, that someone else understands.

    For all you people out there with broken hearts and loving someone that dosent understand how you feel.... He

  • beautiful *-*

  • yeah hes beard-tastic,i keep expecting a bird to fly out of it

  • in my next life can i be him please?

  • Nice... :) Beautiful...

  • Why am I hearing this for the first time in november 2011?

  • I bet he has a Chuck Norris behind his beard.

  • its as if his beard is siphoning out his voice into words of beauty

  • Almost have to say that he is as awesome as Sam Beam. Potentially even better.

  • there are no words. i am speechless at the beauty of his voice and the elegance of his lyrics. i agree with @kniteofsatan, he will forever be a source of inspiration for me and i'm sure for thousands of others.

  • wow

  • if someone finds a site with accurate tabs please message me

  • William Fitzsimmons' official guitar tabs, including "I Don't Feel It Anymore", are available exclusively at our new indie sheet music store - Abatab! We ♥ indie artists and fans.

  • @AbatabIndieTabs Is the name of your store in any way a reference to the band Abacab? Just curious. If I used tabs I'd totally check you guys out!

  • @TheDancingSaxophone Yes!! Though actually, it's the song "Abatab" by Genesis. There's a cool backstory to how they got the title. (It's on Wikipedia.) Thanks for the nice comment! Have a great day.

  • @TheDancingSaxophone Oops, I meant "Abacab" by Genesis!

  • @AbatabIndieTabs Oh, cool. I thought it was the band name, I heard the song once but that was about 2 years ago. :) And I think I know how they got it if it is indeed a cheat code in an old fighting game or something like that? Haha. I'll look it up though!

  • @TheDancingSaxophone It's a cool little story... A, B & C represent the different sections of the song's form: verse, chorus, bridge. They didn't end up using the ABACAB form but that was the best-sounding word, haha. "Abatab" seemed like a meaningful take on songs and tabs, which is what the site is all about... Btw, great job on your videos; you're quite an accomplished musician!

  • Great tune.

  • @Makkabee82 You mad bro?

  • @2012joemac you original bro?

  • real music...

  • anyone know how long that beard will take me?

  • @OvErDoSeD1113 depends how fast your hair grows 6 mths to a year for me

  • Comment removed

  • love this. I wonder what he's hiding in that beard of his though? ... probably more talent

  • Screw the music industry, and let him do what he does.

    

  • i've been watching his videos for about a year now, but i just now grasped how humongous his beard is

  • @andrewwlit you should see it in person, i smoked a cigarette with him and i couldnt stop staring at it

  • so much heart and soul it 's gorgeous :)

  • ugh- surrender; such a melancholy place to arrive at emotionally.

  • i want that guys beanie

  • I don't feel the 10 dislikers anymore. Bill 'Beanie-Beard' Fitzsimmons is wonderfully refreshing and inspirational with his musical talent.

  • 10 people are completely and utterly mentally deficient... How sad.. : /

  • what a raw emotional song its so beautiful.

  • Hold on this will hurt more than anything has before

    What it was, what it was, what it was

    I've brought this on us more than anyone could ignore

    i've rarely seen such a talent ... he sings very

    emotional´, that's just amazing *_*

  • 10 people who dislike this must be robots with no feelings!

  • @Seiketsuuu no they are just the people who've conformed to radio music... robots are close to it though.

  • 10 People dont have beards

  • HEY there!

    If you like acoustic based heartfelt music like this one - maybe this is something for you!!!

  • As it turns out, Grizzly Adams' voice is like a mix of Fergie and Jesus.

  • @settle238 More like if King Leonidas was possessed by the ghost of Tracy Chapman.

  • 10 people don't feel it anymore.

  • @sambull493 stop these stupid comments, it's getting on my nerves!

  • Nothing else can make me cry like this. I think he pretty much touches everyone's hearts with his music, and for that he has changed my life.

  • Beautiful song... And guitar : ]

  • can't believe that more than 130,194 people know who he is :D :D ♥

  • @psychodelice92 probably half of the views are from people watching this two times...

  • @cpanetta87 yeah, but I'd rather think that 133,172 people love him. :) :) :)

  • See u on Hurricane 2011 :)

  • I really love him, love.. is quite an understatement.

  • kinda reminds me of shane and shane

  • @kerkster92 Except William sings about things that are real.

  • 7 people thought it was to be funny to press the dislike on a song thats in their favorites.

  • i love it !

  • his style of singing reminds me of Sufian... my advice to anyone who appriciates music, pick up an instrument and power though the first hump, after that it's fun and all you gotta do is have fun with it feel it growing in you, it's a voice that you will be glad to gain

  • I just stumbled up on this video in the 'Recommended for You' section. He reminds me of Joshua Radin. x3

  • This guy is just amazing. His voice is so soft and awesome. It chilled my bones.

  • i saw him yesterday..

    this concert was so great :)

  • ahhhhmazing we need more great singers like him

  • Hold on this hurts more than anything has before,

    What you've done, I want back the years that you took when I was young,

    I don't feel it anymore, well maybe I do, and maybe it will never go awayBut it is all the same I do not want to have to live up to a ghost no moreYou to need to go and see for yourself but leave our children herePlease...

  • @suriah2daniel whats that from?

  • of course! hes my favourite ahaha. he didnt used to have one though. only recently

  • Love this song and this brillant artist!

  • All I can say is - genius!

  • nothing better than this after listening to music made from computers all the time

  • @Ilovemadetobreak LOL, and hes not too bad with his drum machine enhanced songs either

  • if william fitzsimmons abd craig cardiff played together, i would die of happiness

  • His voice is so pure

  • BRAVO

  • pure magic!  brilliant!

  • ich liebe ihn!

  • I just melt when I hear him sing...

    His voice is so pure and beautiful and soothing. Gah love him!!

  • I missed his concert in graz austria. I just entered the concert room when everything was over - but he played a song at the parking place in front of the club for people who couldn't get in anymore. it's just such an intense music that comes right from the heart and gets back into it Oo.

  • In a word 'Beautiful'

  • he's just being himself, singing his heart out. This is great music.

  • The music industry really is missing out on pure talent with all their new auto-tuned processed bubblegum-pop group crap. This is the way to go. PURE unadulterated talent.

    Fantastic.

  • You said it yourself. It's an industry now.

  • @UpsetGoldfish you nailed it !!! :)

  • @UpsetGoldfish the music industry is not interested of 'pure talent', it's interested in conforming people

  • @UpsetGoldfish rebecca black..friday..tahts what music is about today --"

  • @UpsetGoldfish The problem with most of the pop music these days is that it doesnt come form the heart anymore

    But this this is brilliant it comes from the heart

  • oh goodness.

  • He seems like a dirty hobo, playing amazingly and singing wonderfully... strange in an awesome way :)

  • Comment removed

  • "I was young...I was young...but it's done."

    *cries*

    When I saw him live, I was a mess.

  • he is a beautiful lyricist, and singer and a man all together. but it's i was young, i was young, but it stung'

    i was always mistaken with saying 'but it's done' too, but lyrics everywhere say otherwise. haha

    and lucky you!!! i wish he'd come to AL. and play so badly.

  • oh god, every time i hear this song ... i cannot believe how gorgeous it is ... ridiculously talented ... and look at the CRAP they play on the radio ...

  • His music pierces me like a spear.

  • Oh my god, when he sang the first couple words I just melted! Amazing.

  • He really touched my soul! Such an amazing voice!!!

  • much better.

  • and greater...he's one of the best singer/songwriters I know of.

  • heard this dude on NPR today, only heard a snippit of this song.

    I was immediately moved. Excellent music, if a bit meloncolly.

    Im a fan.

  • music is all that matters.

    talent. and imagination.

    HE'S SO AWESOME.

  • Knit cap or not, I want one.

    XD

  • i dont think he wears it because its fashionable [and i even didnt know it is fashionable..] he just wears it because hes got no desire to style his hair. so he just put on this "stupid knit cap". anyway. such a knit cap people already wore years ago. who told you it would be a must have?? o.O

  • Who cares about something as superficial as clothing, seriously just listen to the music; you want fashion look at a fashion show.

  • he's got a beard! 8>O
