Ollie Gullick, a British artist based between London and Boston, weaves his diverse life story into music. At 14, he moved from his hometown of Great Bookham to Abu Dhabi, where he completed high school. This dramatic change allowed him to experience something infinitely different from the sleepy suburbs of Surrey, and opened his eyes to the vastness of the world we live in. However, as he came to terms with his identity as a gay man, it also came with many challenges on top of all of those faced simply growing up.
At 18, he moved to Boston, USA to pursue his dreams at Berklee College of Music, and has since made shockwaves in the local music scene with his band, The Lads. With high-energy performances, intricate songwriting and the release of his debut EP, ‘Forget About Me’, his music promises a captivating blend of tales encompassing identity, transition, and the complexities of modern life.
This song is about a relationship that is going nowhere, but for some unknown reason, both parties decide to stay. It paints the image of laying in bed and considering whether to stay or to go. It’s name comes from the French guy it is about, who’s surname is ‘Lacroix’, translating to ‘The Cross’ in English.
