The Lighthouse

from Illusions by Ste van Holm

/

about

This song is in part inspired by the Shoegaze music of the late eighties. In particular the band Slowdive. The song doesn't sound very shoegazed, but if you pay attention, you'll notice that the guitars are soaked in reverb and delay.
The lyrics is a reflection on Jean Guichard's 1989 photo of La Jument lighthouse off shore Brittany.

lyrics

Uh the lighthouse
And its keeper
Off the shore
And lost at the sea

And the storm blows
The sky casts shadows
This is the gale
Of the century

Hide
Well
Inside
And
You'll
Be
Fine

Waters rising
Waves are waving
And you reach
For the radio

Call out mayday
Do you read me?
CQD
Save our souls

Hide
Well
Inside
And
You'll
Be
Fine

Can you hear it?
The sound in the air
Like someone chooping up the wind
Have they heard my call?
Have they come for me?

Oh no
