    “There is a deep embedded ache in Bousquet’s voice. You can feel it down in the trenches of his soul and through the crack in his voice.” – Redline Roots

    “On Into The Light Within Bousquet really separates himself as a songwriter from a very crowded field of excellent songwriters taking up camp in his home state. While he’s not afraid to crank up the electric guitar to prove a song’s point, it’s his more introspective moments, such as on “Gloria” that he really knocks it out of the park.” – Chip McCabe, Lonesome Noise

lyrics

CEASELESSLY
Rare is the mark of the wandering spark/Whose embers never flame/Sad is the sight of wings that never take flight/No air or ground to claim/I squandered days when I was young/ Forgive the things I have not done/Hard are the times spent reliving the crimes/Guilt's a ghost that seldom flees/The missteps of youth, unbounded by truth/Souls are sold off by degrees/My broken heart, it was but one/Forgive the things that I have done/Mercy, mercy, mercy me/I cried out so ceaselessly/The years they roll; lessons I learned them slow/In time, I became a man/Lost to the past, escaped from our grasp/There's much I'll never understand/I held out hope when there was none/Forgive the man I have become/Mercy, mercy, mercy me/I cried out so ceaselessly/I squandered days when I was young/I held out hope 'til there was none/Forgive the things undone and done/Mercy, mercy, mercy me/I cried out so ceaselessly/Mercy, mercy, mercy me/I cried out so ceaselessly
