about

Written March to May 13th 20016, Lafayette, Louisiana

lyrics

I hear the sound in my bones
I hear the sound a' calling; it's the sound of home
My stallion's hooves are pounding and his heartbeat drones
I hear the sound a' calling; it's the sound of home

My home; my home is over seas
That home that I have longed for is long gone from me
All the things that I had dreamed will probably never be
That home that I had longed for, probably never see

From now and ever after
I'll do what need be done
A breeze blows through the rafters
Who knows that's yet to come?

I'll long to go tomorrow
As I long to go today
Rather sail a sea of sorrow
Than stay bound to land in chain

I feel fever with the sunset
I'm restless by the bay
That wanderlust is on me
And my soul is in Cathay

Be still, my heart, when troubles rise
When through hardship you are flailing and when failure's nigh
When through high seas you are sailing, when your strength is dry
Be still, my restless heart, when these troubles rise

From now and ever after
I'll do what need be done
A breeze blows through the rafters
Who knows that's yet to come?

I'll long to go tomorrow
As I long to go today
Rather sail a sea of sorrow
Than stay bound to land in chain

I feel fever with the sunset
I'm restless by the bay
That wanderlust is on me
And my soul is in Cathay

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
