Some words from Kölsch:
My album “I talk to Water” is released today.
The album is about using sorrow as a driving force. My father Patrick Reilly, passed 20 years ago, so the album has been in the making ever since. Although centered around the loss of my father, the album sums up all my experiences since his passing. I didn't fully grasp how much his life had influenced me, or how much his passing had changed me. Grief can be a driving force, and it saddens me to realize that without my fathers death, I would never have created all this music, or achieved all this succes.
Patrick Reilly, was a Songwriter, Singer and Guitarist who toured the Middle East in the 60's and 70's.
His love and dedication to family surpassed his music and was never released.
For the longest time I struggled listening to the recordings of him, but in the past 3 years, I found the courage to work with his music.
The album “I Talk to Water" features his voice, guitar and songwriting and It is dedicated to all who have lost.
My father was cremated and spread in to the Ocean.
When I need a moment with him.
I talk to Water.
