The Used have debut a music video for “The Lighthouse” which features blink-182‘s Mark Hoppus. The song is off of the Used’s latest album, Heartwork, which is out now via Big Noise.
“The Lighthouse” music video pays tribute to the frontline workers of the current coronavirus pandemic. Last month, the Used as fans to submit videos of their frontline workers as part of the project. Speaking to the message behind the track, frontman Bert McCracken shared the following message:
“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.” – William Shakespeare
Doubt can be an avalanche. It can cascade out and infect everything it touches. Inspiration is also infectious. The original chorus lyric was “I can’t be your lighthouse”, until I was reminded by my 6 year old daughter that I can be and I am. It helps to remember that we all have the capability to inspire someone in our own way. Please enjoy our song The Lighthouse as much as we do. Love, Bert
