The clip, streaming now on YouTube, compiles footage from front-line workers amid the COVID-19 pandemic, including doctors, nurses, grocery clerks and delivery people. A masked Hoppus and members of The Used also pop up.
“Doubt can be an avalanche,” says frontman Bert McCracken. “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 six-year-old daughter that I can be and I am,” he explains. “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.”
“The Lighthouse” is included on the new Used album Heartwork, which also features guest spots from Blink’s Travis Barker, FEVER 333 frontman Jason Aalon Butler, and Beartooth vocalist Caleb Shomo.
