about

Written July 24th, Dallas, TX to September 5th, 2016, Lafayette LA.

lyrics

Your Irish soul
And Irish eyes
In ways untold
So deeply pleased
With action bold
Again I’d seize
Your Irish soul
And Irish eyes

A girl with red hair
Who was humble and cared
Is on my mind

A long time ago
She was fully mine, though
I crossed some lines

Now I can feel
A wound that won’t heal
And a pain inside

It stays on my heels
It’s here with me still
It walks by my side

My heart is in flames
For rapture I pray
Drunk on altar wine

A girl with red hair
Who was humble and cared
Is on my mind

Your Irish grace
I should’ve had distilled
With alchemical trace
To preserve your feel
So in drunken rage
I could drink at will
So in older age
I could taste you still

A girl with red hair
Who was simple and cared
Is on my mind

A long time ago
She was fully mine, though
I crossed some lines

Now I can feel
A wound that won’t heal
I'm pained inside

It stays on my heels
It’s here with me still
It walks by my side

My heart is enflamed
For rapture I pray
Drunk on altar wine

A girl with red hair
Who was humble and cared
Is on my mind

A girl with red hair
Who was pretty and fair
All the time

about

Reece Sullivan Lafayette, Louisiana

Originally from Arkansas, and now in Lafayette, LA, I play the surrounding areas regularly. Over the course of the years, I've reinvented myself musically many times: piano to guitar, classical to art rock, art rock to folk, flat picking to finger-picking, solely songwriting to performing. My latest incarnation has me playing out often, sometimes touring, and writing and recording consistently. ... more
