1) Carson is a French rapper. The album Falconia was released in 2019.
2) Carson is a Swiss-based psych-rock band from Lucerne. First formed in Auckland, New Zealand, by front-man Kieran Mortimer-Jones in late 2009, after a few line up changes Carson were ready to perform. Playing all over New Zealand the then four piece quickly built a reputation as a groovy, heavy, melodic and energized outfit. 2011 Carson recorded a 7 track E.P with hit tracks Dues and Conversational being played on National New Zealand radio stations. But then it was time for Kieran to move to Switzerland and a new band had to be formed. Keeping the name Carson (taken from the classic western The Good the Bad and the Ugly) Jan Kurmann and Elina Willener joined the band and within 4 months started blasting the local Swiss scene. In December 2012, Carson released a 2nd self titled, 6 track E.P.
3) Carson was an Australian blues-rock band active in the 70s. Carson's career was relatively short - almost exactly three years - but in that time the "Kings of Boogie" built a reputation as a powerful live act, and they were one of the most popular Australian blues bands of the early 70s. Together with Bulldog, Chain, The Aztecs, Company Caine and Pirana, Carson was part of the stable of acts handled by Consolidated Rock, the Melbourne agency founded by young entrepreneur Michael Gudinski. Carson was also an important stepping stone for several of its members, including singer Broderick Smith, and the group's original keyboard player John Capek.
The original 4-piece lineup formed in in January 1970. Guitarist "Sleepy" Greg Lawrie (ex-The Creatures, Chocolate) was already considered one of the best slide players in the country; John Capek was ex-Leo De Castro and Friends; Ian "Fingers" Ferguson's career had started way back in 1961 with Shepparton rockers Tony & The Shantels, and completing the lineup was drummer Tony Lunt.
The group was originally called The Carson County Band, but they had dropped the "...County Band" part of the name by the end of 1970 because they were being mistakenly tagged as country rock group, and only their first single came out under that name. They were strongly influenced by Chicago blues, and by the emerging "boogie" style being popularised by bands like Canned Heat and, later, ZZ Top.(According to Who's Who of Australian Rock, Paul Lever and Tony Enery were also members during this year, but details of their role in the band are not known at this stage.)
Their first single was On The Highway / Resting Place, issued on the Rebel label around May 1970; at about the same time Lawrie and Capek got together with Matt Taylor, Tim Piper and Yuk Harrison from Genesis, plus Trevor Courtney (ex-Chants R&B, Cam-Pact) in a one-off recording project called The Meating. The single they recorded together, Bad Luck Feeling / Back Home was released on Rebel in August 1970.
John Capek left Carson in late 1970 or early 1971, moving on to King Harvest, Flite and Hannagan. To replace him, Carson recruited singer and harp player Broderick Smith, formerly of Adderly Smith Blues Band and Sundown, and second guitarist Ian "Willy" Winter (ex-Brothers Grimm, Five Just Men, Pigface).
The new lineup recorded a single for the Havoc label, Travelling South / Moonshine, which was issued in August 1971. Meanwhile, Ian Ferguson left in July to join Island, and he was replaced by ex-Chain bassist Barry "Big Goose" Sullivan. Sullivan left after about three months to join Flite so he was replaced by Garry Clarke (ex-King Harvest). In November they added a new keyboard player, Mal Logan (ex-Healing Force), and they also augmented the band even further for concerts, adding a three-piece horn section.
Ian Winter left in March 1972 when he was invited to join Daddy Cool as second guitarist, but after Daddy Cool split in August he returned to Carson. Brod Smith also branched out during the year -- Carson's manager, Rhett Walker (who was also the program manager for Melbourne radio station 3AK) decided that Smith could be promoted as a solo artist (along similar lines to Rod Stewart's parallel solo career with his work with The Faces). Broderick cut two singles for the Image label, and all four sides of which were written and produced by Brian Cadd.
Sometime during this period, Broderick was also called in to sing on the soundtrack to Albie Falzon's surfing movie Morning Of The Earth. Oddly enough, the track he appeared on, First Things First, was actually by Tamam Shud. Singer Lindsay Bjerre was having voice problems when they cut the song, so the original vocal was done by lead guitarist Tim Gaze. However, producer G. Wayne Thomas was evidently not satisfied with the result so he erased Tim's vocal, and he brought in Broderick Smith to lay down a new track. Although this has previously been reported as having been done without the Shud's knowledge or permission, recent information from Brod himself contradicts this.
This is at odds with Lindsay Bjerre's claim that Tamam Shud didn't find out about the substitution until the night of the film's premiere, later in the year, and they were understandably furious a bout it. (Bjerre acknowledged, however, that Brod's vocal was a good effort in its own right, despite the circumstances.)
By September 1972 Carson had signed with EMI's Harvest imprint. Their first single for the label, Boogie, Parts I & II gave them their first taste of chart success in September, going to #30 nationally, and it is now widely regarded as one of the classics Australian rock singles of that period.
They followed up in November with their very successful debut album, Blown, produced by Rod Coe (former bass player with Freshwater and Country Radio). Its memorable cover was another fine design by Melbourne artist Ian McCausland. Blown fared even better than the single, reaching #14 nationally in December. (Meanwhile, Havoc cashed in on Carson's new prominence by reissuing Travelling Home the same month.)
Late in the year Carson expanded yet again, when sax player Mal Capewell (ex-Dr Kandy's Third Eye, Company Caine, Dada, Graham Bond's Holy Magick) joined the touring lineup. In January they appeared at the second Sunbury Festival over the Australia Day long weekend; their set was recorded and the song Friday Night Groove was included on Mushroom's inaugural release, the ambitious triple-album The Great Australian Rock Festival (April 1973). Unfortunately, Sunbury was to be Carson's last major performance: Winter and Logan left just afterwards and in February it was announced that Carson had split up. Their final record was On The Air, the full recording of their Sunbury set, which was released in April 1973.
Various band members moved on to successful careers in other bands. Brod Smith of course became the lead singer of The Dingoes, and went on to a successful solo career; he still performs regularly in an acoustic duo. Greg Lawrie played on Chain's Two Of A Kind LP, as well as Matt Taylor's solo LPs Straight As A Die and Magic, and featured prominently on Matt's 1973 hit single I Remember When I Was Young. Mal Logan formed Altamira before rejoining Smith in The Dingoes, and he featured on their famous debut LP. In later years he worked with Renee Geyer.John Capek was perhaps the most successful of all. He moved to the US around 1973 and established himself as a songwriter. Since that time he has had songs recorded by some of the world's biggest names, including Rod Stewart, Chicago, Toto, Manhattan Transfer, Don Johnson, Olivia Newton- John, Dan Hill, Marc Jordan, LRB, John Farnham, Patty Austin and Diana Ross. He has also provided music for the Hollywood films Cocktail and Youngblood, as well as the Australian features Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Heaven Tonight and What The Moon Saw. Milesago

Carson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And even with my doubts I still took that chance
And now I'm wondering why
I wasted all this time
But when you looked at me it felt so right
It's taking all of me to forget that night
But it's over and done with I've said my goodbyes
And what would you say?
If I told you the truth that you were nothing but a mistake
And what could you do?
When I'm trying my best just to stay far away from you
And o it's just my luck to end up with this
I always seem to run into loads of mess
And this is kind of sad
O but please don't feel bad
Cause when I looked at you
Into your eyes
I didn't see the truth I just saw lies
But it's over and done with I've said my goodbyes
There's nothing left of it
And what would you say?
If I told you the truth that you were nothing but a mistake
And what could you do?
When I'm trying my best just to stay far away from you
And would you do it again?
O no you messed up big time
And would you do it again?
O
O no
I should've known better
But I kept runnin around making the same mistakes
I should've known better
O well
I should've known better
But I kept runnin around making the same mistakes
I should've known better
O well
And what would you say?
If I told you the truth that you were nothing but a mistake
And what could you do?
When I'm trying my best just to stay far away from you
Heart Meet Habit by Carson is a song that recounts the remorse and regret of a person who stayed too long in a failed relationship. The first stanza is an admission that the person had doubts from the beginning but still took a chance on the relationship, only to realize later that it was a waste of time. Even when they were together, the person knew deep inside that it was not the right fit, but the other person made them feel so right that it was hard to walk away. The chorus is the questioning of what the other person would do if they just told the truth about it being a mistake, and the person trying their best to stay far away.
The second stanza reveals the sadness and pathetic feeling of the person having made the mistake of involving themselves with the wrong person, knowing it was a disaster from the beginning. However, the other person lied so well that it was hard to tell the truth from lies. The chorus repeats in this stanza but with a little more emphasis on how the other person messed up big time, and the person is doing their best to move far away from them. The ending is the admission that the person should have known better but kept making the same mistakes and is now paying the price for it.
Overall, Heart Meet Habit is a relatable song that talks about relationships that are hard to let go of, even when both parties know that it's over. The song also touches on the idea of lies, regret, and how making the same mistake can lead to a sad ending.

I should've walked out when I had the chance
I regret not leaving when I had the opportunity
And even with my doubts I still took that chance
I ignored my doubts and went ahead with the relationship anyway
And now I'm wondering why
I am questioning my decision to stay in the relationship
I wasted all this time
I feel like I spent too much time in a relationship that was not worth it
But when you looked at me it felt so right
I was blinded by the chemistry between us
It's taking all of me to forget that night
I can't stop thinking about the night we had together
But it's over and done with I've said my goodbyes
I have ended the relationship and moved on
There's nothing left of it
Our relationship is completely over
And what would you say?
If I were to tell you the truth
If I told you the truth that you were nothing but a mistake
If I were to tell you that our relationship was a mistake
And what could you do?
If I were to distance myself from you
When I'm trying my best just to stay far away from you
I am doing my best to avoid you
And o it's just my luck to end up with this
It's unfortunate that I got myself into this situation
I always seem to run into loads of mess
I tend to get myself into problematic situations
And this is kind of sad
It's a little unfortunate
O but please don't feel bad
I don't want you to feel bad about it
Cause when I looked at you
When I was with you
Into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
I didn't see the truth I just saw lies
I was not able to see the reality of our relationship
And would you do it again?
If you had the chance to do it over?
O no you messed up big time
No, you made a big mistake
I should've known better
I should have been more aware
But I kept runnin around making the same mistakes
But I repeated the same mistake over and over again
O well
Oh well
