Sunday Verse

By: William Prince
  • Summary

  • Season Two of the Sunday Verse is a companion piece to the new William Prince offering, “Gospel First Nation,” a 21st century Northern Interlake geographical sound imprint that tells stories of family and faith in the age of grief. This album has been a hundred years in the making. On the cover is the Prince Memorial Chapel, a one-room, wood-sided building which has stood in Peguis First Nation in Manitoba, Canada since 1929. The chapel, no longer in use, holds in its name a story of family, identity and history that began a century before the chapel was built, and will continue long after it falls apart. Over ten episodes, William Prince tells us this story through the music of his childhood, songs of faith, struggle and grace.

    “Gospel First Nation is a way of handling two common questions at the same time.” In the last episode of the season, “Love Don’t Ever Say Goodbye”, William expands on the paradoxical and compelling idea of Gospel First Nation, the complex and varied interpretations of Jesus and The Gospel, how to keep and pass on lessons learned, and how important conversations can shape our judgement and understanding of faith.

    “It’s the conclusion of the longest ride you can take out in Peguis, MB.” In the second last episode of the season, we travel back through the eras and explore William’s memories of Fisher Bay, MB. From summer camp, where special connections strengthen your faith and failed pen pals can crush it, to his teen years of writing songs and performing with his father (who wrote, “This One I Know“), William reflects on his roots and how faith evolves over time and places.

    “Yes, my life is like a story. I was searching this world for fame in a world of wine and whiskey, but it only brought me shame.” After searching the internet for a week to clarify who wrote it and who else covered it, William delves into the song "Higher Power" and the man behind the song, and the stories behind the man.

    Note from William: This episode mistakingly references the Dusty Plain Reserve. Bob Norman is from the Flying Dust Reserve near Meadowlake, SK.
