The Used - The Lighthouse feat. Mark Hoppus [Official Music Video]

“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

Thanks for sending in your videos!

The Lighthouse Lyrics:
I give myself to the shipwrecked
I give myself to the no way home
You tore myself into pieces
And nobody noticed at all

Two broken ribs from the pressure
I'm out of breath from the CPR
You rolled me out on a stretcher
and nobody noticed at all

Can you help me? Will I burn or will I burn out? I can taste it. Taste you in the back of my mouth.
I can be your lighthouse. I can be your lighthouse. I can be your lighthouse. I can be your lighthouse.

Now I’m at sea and I’m sinking. No light that’s leading me back to shore. Why lean on me while I’m drowning? The same way you pulled me before.

Can you help me? Will I burn or will I burn out? I can taste it. Taste you in the back of my mouth.
Can you help me? Will I burn or will I burn out? I can taste it. Taste you in the back of my mouth.

I can be your lighthouse. I can be your lighthouse. I can be your lighthouse. I can be your lighthouse.

I can be your lighthouse. I can be your lighthouse. I can be your lighthouse. I can be your lighthouse.

That's me on the left at 1:15!!!! I'm a brand new Registered Nurse!! I can't breathe, I'm so happy!! The Used is my favorite band in the universe, and I feel honored to be a part of this video!!

[mblabezza]

I’m honoured to be in this and represent Aboriginal Australia & Community Development Workers on the frontline. Been here since Box Full of Sharp Objects & I’m not going anywhere! Great video! 🙌🙏 Thankyou to everyone risking it for others. 🖤 Much love to THE USED. Thankyou for giving us a great album to vibe with during a cruddy time!!!

I work in a care facility with very sick and elderly people for 8 hours a day and then come home and do schooling with my kid. The stress has made me develop stress induced hair loss. This is what I needed to hear today. Everyone stay strong and stay safe

[theodorekikon]

Mark Hoppus brought me here and this is genuinely good. Thanks to all frontline workers across the world.

[missycarroll]

I'm so honored to be included in the video 2:32 ✌💙 I'm an RN who helps take care of differently abled individuals in a residential facility. During this crisis I have seen so many different levels of emotions from the staff with all the unknowns that come with this virus and yet they show up everyday regardless of the possible threat to their own well being. This definitely tests the human spirit on all levels but we continue to persevere. 💪Fear will not win! #wearetheusedbutnotdefeated Much peace & love to you all 💙✌ Thank you to The Used for showing us love and giving us a ray of hope!

We made it! My husband is at 8 seconds n we’re both kissing at 2:19 😭❤️ this has been the best album ever and I haven’t stopped listening since you started releasing the songs! My favorite band in the entire universe !

[rebeccahosier]

As an essential worker who is an social worker, I work with victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, I am literally crying. The world is stressful and scary and it is so wonderful to feel like we have the support of the whole band and fans behind us.

It’s such an honor to literally be in a music video for The Used! I’m the Vet Assistant to the right at about 0:33 seconds ❤️ Can’t even begin to describe how happy I am to be in this video 😭 So very lucky!

[itsmarissa]

I am honored to be in the video (teacher on the left side at 1:18)! I have been a fan of The Used since 2005 when I was only 10 years old. Now 15 years later, at 25, I am still a huge fan and am so proud of how far the band has come! Thank you guys so much for everything that you have and continue to do! Stay safe and much love! 🤘🏽❤️

[jamestuck]

Was I expecting to tear up today? No, but I'm not complaining. Thanks, The Used and Hoppus, for honoring our essential heroes!

[leodi]

This is amazing! The Used had been my favorite band since I've been 13. This feels like such a honor to everyone. As a nurse first responder this is truly heart warming and a honor. Plus, with Mark on this song is even more of a plus! ❤️❤️

It really warmed my heart, during the pandemic, when we would be thanked for what we do. Here is to all the other essential workers out there, we are all still struggling...

[nyxfreelove]

Fuck yes!!! Such a beautiful concept and such an amazing creation!!!

Reminds me of a time, summer before 8th grade, just dwelling on the reality of having a broken home life, sitting on the bench of the front porch alone, staring westward, straight at the red setting sun through an ugly tangle of distant trees, and just feeling...calm. Bleak, in a numb, almost serene sort of way, but completely enveloped in a sense of acceptance. Having it hit me that we were just each on separate islands: there was me, there was the psychopath, and then there was everyone who was still lost in the lies. That we hadn't even bothered to discuss plans for the night (or lack thereof), though God knows, the foul taste in my mouth from current events had quite taken the edge off any sense of regret there. My home life was done. I needed to shine for myself. There was, simply, literally, nothing left for me here.

Anyway, I waxed way too eloquent there. Miss you guys!!
