    “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

GLORIA
Did I say too much? Did I try to hard?/To preserve your touch, to deserve your heart/
Ring the midnight bells at noon/Baby I will be there soon/The wind it sings a brand new tune/For you, for you/As the sun comes up from across the sound/And the boats head off to the oyster grounds/Ring the midnight bells at noon/Baby I will be there soon/
The wind it sings a brand new tune/For you, for you/Lord knows how far I might go/For a few rakes of the shoal/When the world is ending/Like a dredge descending/Gloria, won't you land upon the bow and lead us home/Gloria, won't you stand upon the bow and lead us home/Now my heart it sinks like an undertow/Still I drag the flats when the tide is low/Ring the midnight bells at noon/Baby I will be there soon/The wind it sings a brand new tune/For you, for you/Now I spread my catch across the table to cull/I only keep the best and a few for the gulls/Ring the midnight bells at noon/Baby I will be there soon/The wind it sings a brand new tune/For you, for you/Lord knows how far I might go/For a few rakes of the shoal/When the wind is ending/Like a dredge descending/Gloria, won't you land upon the bow and lead us home/Gloria, won't you stand upon the bow and lead us home/Lead us home
