This is the first single to be released from William Crighton's highly anticipated debut album due out March 18th 2016. (via ABC Music)

Priest is a powerful story about a courageous boy who shoots a pedophile priest. It's also a fair introduction into the deep and merciless songwriting talents of this artist on the rise.

Catch William Crighton and his band playing The Gum Ball 2016, as well as a select few side shows in support of the album release.

William Crighton - Priest

A top ten hit from 1825, my own modern twist on Schubert’s Ave Maria (mainly from the perspective of how I view the current world).

Ave Maria has always been a beautiful piece of music, but I think it’s so much more than that. I wanted to reflect the beauty, the brokenness (broken beauty and beauty broken), the mystery, the synchronicities, the darkness and the threat constantly trying to extinguish light in the world… but, also the humanity that seems to somehow shine through.

As an instrumental, it’s not tied down by the specifics of language; let the music communicate the spirituality that inspired Schubert the night he wrote it.

When I was at University catching the train to-and-from, there was always that God awful sound of breaks through the tunnels as the bloody thing would pull in. But, if I had headphones on (which dulled it) and I was listening to the right music, it could actually have a broken beauty to it for a moment… that idea kind of inspired the rustic/abstract nature of the guitar melody.

I guess somewhat appropriate given Mothers Day has just passed. Also, the only time I’ve ever performed it was at my cousin’s wedding with his daughter, Jess (who we lost 11 years ago last Friday).

So… here it is for your listening (dis)pleasure ; )
