    “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

EVAPORATE
On the precipice/Now everyday convenes like this/We play it as it lays/This seems to be the rule these days/But what is between a wave and the sea?/Maybe it's become an obsession to me/I'm starting to evaporate/I'm tired of this liquid state/For whatever this is worth/I no longer long to leave this earth/To be a broken one/An outspoken son of the overglum/But what is between a wave and the sea?/Maybe it's become an obsession to me/I'm starting to evaporate/I'm tired of this liquid state/In the mystic night and the places thin/Into the light, the light within/Frailer than a candle flame/Left to flicker in the wind/But what is between a wave and the sea?/Maybe it's become an obsession to me/I'm starting to evaporate/I'm tired of this liquid state
