FORTUNE TELLERS © Louis Gaston They said my very birth was daunted Said I was born unwanted And I was meant to drown They didn’t let me be a child When I was young and wild They’d only put me down They predicted this, predicted that They cursed me all they could They read out from their crystal balls Saying I was just no good But I found inside the strength to carry on So I guess the Fortune Tellers had it wrong. They said I’d never learn my lesson They kept me in detention They threw me out the door And then they pushed me in the battle They knocked my off my saddle To loose me in the war They predicted this, predicted that They cursed me all they could They read out from their crystal balls Saying I was just no good Will I ever find a place where I belong? I just hope the Fortune Tellers have it wrong. It gave them only satisfaction To watch the chain reaction And see me lose it all It made them glad when I hit bottom By I made it through the autumn See me standing from the fall They predicted this, predicted that They cursed me all they could They read out from their crystal balls Saying I was just no good But the words that didn’t slay me made me strong Goes to show the Fortune Tellers had it wrong… … predicting stuff And cursing all they can They told me I am just a joke That I’d never be a man I had to put my story in a song So you’d know the Fortune Tellers… …know the Fortune Tellers had it wrong!

Carry On 04:30
CARRY ON © Louis Gaston You heard Your voices calling And You believed the crazy words they’d say You followed them around the world Your Hopes & Dreams they carried You away They Carried On… Oh vagabond You live a Life of sin You tackle danger with a grin You thought it to be brave to misbehave D’ya hear me singing on Your grave? I’ll Carry On… I’ll Carry On… The journey ended on a beach in Spain You couldn’t put up with the pain You’d seen your life go by, You cry Your Hopes & Dreams they asked for You to die They Carried On… and Carried On… You chose to wait for the sun to rise See him reaching for the skies And have that printed in your eyes… It’s beauty be the last thing that You’d see Before You take off and fly free Your wings would spread across the sea… Check the branch ; check the knot is loose Check Your head inside the noose And then said “Farewell” to the world: it’s cruel My Boy, You kicked away the stool You Carried Off…. I’ll Carry On… Your leap of faith, it didn’t make a sound Your feet they never hit the ground Now Your eyes are shut, Your lips are cold, And all those poems that You wrote, were never to be told My Hopes and Dreams don’t fool me today My Innocence belongs to long ago But I’ll keep You in my Heart deep down inside, My friend : You’re everywhere I go We Carry On… Carry On… We Carry on. I play it tough and hard Today my heart feels like a broken piece of glass And I’m singing for memory to last Alike an echo from the past You Carry On…

I'm Still 04:31
I’M STILL © Louis Gaston I’m still, I still got words unspoken, A lot was never said and left untold, My Love is hurt but still not broken The feeling just got frozen in the cold. I’m still, I’m hiding and I’m sorry I’m guilty for the chances that I blew I’m stuck, I cannot change the story So many things I wish I could undo Cause I’m still in Love and I’m still in Love with you… I’m still, I cannot move a muscle I’m paralysed in fear without a clue My blood is clotting in my vessels I’m petrified, my heart is cut in two Cause I’m Still in Love, and I’m Still in Love with You The winds have changed, the seasons past The pale spring it didn’t last The sky is wearing darker shades of blue But come and go the rain and shine Never stop this Love of mine It’s carries on and on, forever true I’m Still in Love, and I’m Still in Love with You… The winds have changed, the seasons past The pale spring it didn’t last The sky is wearing darker shades of blue But come and go the rain and shine Never stop this Love of mine It’s carries on and on, forever true I’m Still in Love, and I’m Still in Love with You… I’m still not willing to surrender I hang on to a fight I can’t pursue And still I’m wrestling this contender The battle’s lost and nothing left to do So many things I wish I could undo Cause I’m Still in Love and I’m Still in Love with You,

BLOW MY BLOODY BLUES AWAY © Louis Gaston Walls are speaking What’s the meaning Blue Words in White Craie Rain is pouring Letters dripping Blue Words in White Craie Storm it cries Wind arise Won’t You Blow my Bloody Blues Away Flame is burning Candles shrinking The clock won’t stop today Ice is melting As times are changing The clock won’t stop today I have a feeling That something’s coming To Blow my Bloody Blues Away Some are choosing’ Others loosing The End is on its way Guns are aiming Lives are fading The End is on its way Hearts are leaking Souls are bleeding They Blow my Bloody Blues Away Angels crying God is trying But they ain’t here to stay Devils dancing Mortals dying But no one’s here to stay Faith is saying " Keep on praying " Lord, Blow my Bloody Blues Away Blow my Bloody Blues Away

SONG FOR YOU AND I © Louis Gaston I wrote a song for You and I A sweet excuse, an alibi A way to bring You back from far away A cosy home, a feather nest To draw You from your peaceful rest A place to get together when I pray You enter though the second verse You lovely blessing, gentle curse A tender little Angel in my mind You glide inside and look around You fold Your wings and touch the ground And You smile cause You like what You find But I saw You didn’t close the door behind… A song for You and I A space between the heavens and the sky Where it’s alright to laugh, and it’s okay to cry And safe to see Your face before I die… We kiss and dance and reunite We share a bliss of pure delight We love like it’s not last And sure enough it isn’t long Until the middle of the song When suddenly You vanish in a blast Just like You disappeared in the past A song for You and I A space between the heavens and the sky Where it’s alright to laugh, and it’s okay to cry And safe to see Your face before I die… And I feel I am driven towards You Crossing over the bridge that I sing And I’m hearing Your voice As I follow my choice From a winter without You Right into the spring of… A song for You and I A-way beyond the Heavens and the Sky Where it’s alright to laugh, and no need to cry We’ll be together forever and ever Just You and I.

Tomorrow 02:29
TOMORROW © Louis Gaston Tomorrow, I’ll be free from all my sorrow I’m sick and tired of playing solo Oh I can’t wait for tomorrow Come Destiny; make me the man that I was meant to be Take my dreams and shine them back on me Tomorrow be my Destiny But today, the sky is grey, and I pray That I can make it through the night I’ll hold on tight Trouble: pass your way Don’t want you to stay I pray for change to be alright Until Tomorrow, I’ll have a brand new star to follow Peace and Love could be my motto Oh I can’t wait… for Tomorrow

BLOWING THROUGH THE TREES © Lesley Simons / Louis Gaston I’v seen the sights of the world, what a sight to see Freedom blowing through my hair Like the wind blowing through the trees A scent of spring in the air, and I belong Any place anywhere I can move on from Anywhere I can hear the wind Blowing Through The Trees It’s winter all around, but the summer’s on my face I was beaten to the ground but I found my saving grace Bittersweet is the rain, I Carry On Bittersweet the refrain that I sing along Bittersweet is the wind Blowing Through The Trees And after all… After all that’s said and done Is that really all there is? Tell me what I’m running from Tell me what I’m running from I’ve seen the sights of the world, the horror and the dream Heard it singing in my soul, the whisper and the scream Flush of hope on my face, and I belong Anywhere any place I can move on from Any place I can feel the wind Blowing Through The Trees And after all… After all that’s said and done Is that really all there is? Tell me what I’m running from Tell me what I’m running from

I Miss You 03:59
I MISS YOU © Louis Gaston I Miss You, I Miss You There’s a shadow where Your body used to lie The lonely teardrops on my pillow never seem to want to dry I Miss You, I can feel You breathe while I know it’s just a draft I’m smiling at the times We argued, I cry the times We laughed I loved You, I love You It hurts the way You’re with me all the time You left a heavy stain behind You, the phantoms of Your prime I Miss You, and Your ghost it haunts me every single day It’s a curse to live without You, it’s a price I’ll have to pay I remember: The times You’d hold my hand and whisper: “Everything’s Alright” I held on tight I saw the light You shine Now it’s dark I hope You’re fine I hope your lovers treat You kind Don’t ever look behind Cause You might find You’re still and always on my mind I Miss You, I Miss You I recall the night Our dream was torn apart… It might have smashed me down to pieces, But as the suffering decreases You’re fading from my broken heart… … I dismiss You I just can’t forget the coldness in Your eye The cruelty in the fashion And the absence of compassion In the way You said goodbye.

KARMA KARMA KARMA © Louis Gaston I acted as a fool I gotta take the blame Never meant to be so cruel But I hurt You just the same Brought tears to the cheeks of my mother We drove each other mad For all I made her suffer The shame is very bad I’ll take my time To walk the line In response: ability Oh, Karma, Karma, Karma Come to me I acted as a savage Time and time again You know I’ve done a lot of damage And caused a lot of pain Consequences: I’m doing time Amending my crime Paying my debt to society So Karma, Karma, Karma… Put pen to paper And I listed all the ways I done you wrong The list is long… but I’m still willing… I’m here to face it And I’m neither trying to hide or run away I’m pleading guilty, I’m here to pay And now’s the time To redefine What it takes to be a man Oh, Karma, Karma, Karma Here I am… doing time Amending crime Paying debt to society So Karma, Karma, Karma Wash me free

TIME IS GETTING OLD © Louis Gaston A foggy mind, and the clouds don’t go away Shades of black and gray I trade my truth for a lie of solid gold Time is getting old… Spent many hours, I can waste a little more Waiting by the door I don’t want no reason, but I guess I need a goal Time is getting old… I tried my best, I did everything I could Didn’t do much good I played my best cards now I guess it’s time to fold Time is getting old… I use to burn, I had sparkles in my soul Now it’s getting cold The fire’s out, and the embers turn to coal Time is getting old… The sun is going down, as I’m wrapping up my song Life will carry on I’m letting go, of this pain I’m used to hold Time is getting old…

I Found Love 03:52
I FOUND LOVE © Louis Gaston & Yarol Poupaud I was about to pack my things and go across the borderline Hit the long and winding road and leave it all behind I’d given up my faith in trying All my dreams were slowly drying And deep inside my heart was getting cold I saw Her dancing in the street that night, laughing at the rain She offered me Her sweetest smile it washed away my pain Then She took me by the hand Gently said: "I understand" Her voice was soft and warm as gold I found Love, I found Love, I found real Love I found Love, I found Love, I found real Love Sweet Love when We’re together Hard Love when We’re apart I found Love through Loving You She taught me how to love and live and hope… not how to grieve That I had to teach myself on the day She had to leave Don’t know where She chose to go High above or down below She didn’t leave a note behind I found Love, I found Love, I found real Love I found Love, I found Love, I found real Love Sweet Love when We’re together Hard Love when We’re apart I found Love through Loving You …Now I know she’s gone forever I think about our time together And it feels like it was just a dream… I found Love, I found Love, I found real Love I found Love, I found Love, I found real Love Sweet Love when We’re together Hard Love when We’re apart I found Love through Loving You

about

Louis Gaston Paris, France

Louis Gaston stands for his blues-rock influences and carves his French name on the wooden benches of the Songwriter’s Club.
The lyrics are maybe sour, often ironic, sometimes dark, always honest.
From his warm gritty voice, he puts his life and his dreams into contrasted pictures, and delivers authentic stories coming out of a trunk full of memories, nightmares, fantasies and hopes.
