Grace Sullivan, who performs and records as Wish Queen, wrote poetry before she wrote songs. An avid reader, Sullivan grew up in Bay Village on what she describes as a quiet street called Salem Drive (she and her friends cheekily called themselves “The Witches of Salem”).
“I was writing poetry by the time I was 8,” she says one afternoon over iced tea at Rising Star in Tremont. . “I loved it and wrote all the time. I didn’t really set the words to melody until I was in college at UNC-Wilmington. Poetry was something I was always driven to do on impulse. I have tons of used-up journals. I would write on the back of receipts and bills. My mom would always yell at me for writing on the back of important mail.
She initially joined a cover band that played Cleveland area bars. Around that time, she started gathering her original tunes together; the songs forinitially started to come together when Sullivan, whose supple voice recalls her range of influences, including Billie Holiday, Joni Mitchell, Fiona Apple ad Lana Del Rey, Weyes Blood, lost her job at the start of the pandemic and went through a breakup at the same time.
“The song is this sorrowful, slow burn of a song describing the experience of someone falling out of love with you," says Sullivan."You’re watching in slow motion, and there’s nothing you can do about it and it’s devastating. The record is a journey from heartbreak and sorrow to healing and self-empowerment and finding the bigger picture and understanding pain and heartbreak in the constant changing nature of life.
