William Fitzsimmons’ holiday song ‘Covered in Snow’ is available for the first time on iTunes. The song presently is streaming on his MySpace and can also be heard via the video below.

The singer-songwriter said of the song, which is a reflection on his father who left home at Christmas time, that he wrote it “with the hope of mending the memories of the holiday and restoring my faith in the season.”

The song can be found on iTunes. His most recent album is The Sparrow And The Crow. He discussed the album in a recent interview with Contact Music. In noting that it is the first of his albums to be recorded in a studio he said:

t was actually a rather trying process, both professionally, and moreover, emotionally. I don’t want to sound too weepy, because at the end of the day, I’m really incredibly fortunate to be able to call this my job. But as far as my own personal life goes, it was difficult to hand over these ideas and very dark things I went through to someone else and to the often frustrating process of creating music. From the production standpoint, it was harder than I originally suspected to work with others, because as a previously only home-recording musician, I was granted the luxury of my own opinion always winning out. But the truth is the input of people who are masterful at what they do can only make a project better. I believe the record came out far better than what I could have done on my own.
