Music that matters

I get really affected emotionally by music. I will never forget attending a Sigur Ros concert in 2006 and being so moved that I sat there with tears streaming down my face. Some people might say I am being overly melodramatic, perhaps I am. William Fitzsimmons sums up how I as a consumer hope to feel when a musician like him tries to impact people with thoughtful songwriting and music composition.

“When I listen to music my favourite thing that I get from music is to be moved by it, I want to be affected by it…”

“The music that I care about the most is the stuff that makes me think of changing the way I’m doing something or thinking or makes me feel something. I hope to bring that to people at least in a small way…”

“I want to make music that has the effect of going a little bit deeper than just entertainment.”
