Thanks to Calum Scott, it is with confidence that we say romance is not dead. We’ve seen it before in his other tracks such as ‘You Are The Reason’ and ‘Heaven’ – Calum is a romantic. We almost thought his music couldn’t get any sweeter, but after listening to ‘Lighthouse,’ we’ve been proven wrong.
If you haven’t already, you can listen to ‘Lighthouse’ here.
The track starts slow, focusing on Calum’s vocals before building into an anthemic love confession. Some of his most popular songs are confessional pieces, but they’re popular for a reason! The emotion he delivers in each line makes his songs captivating in a way that is incredibly touching for listeners. Calum shared his thoughts on ‘Lighthouse’ here:
‘Lighthouse’ is a story about light in the darkness, the hope on the horizon, even if it’s in the distance and almost out of view it reminds you of what’s important and what makes you feel safe. It was written at a time when I was missing home and just getting a FaceTime or a text can be that lighthouse for me. I really pushed my limits to record the vocals on this, tried to sing with as much passion and raw emotion as I could – the production really helped with that and makes the story feel monstrous and powerful and will fill the stadiums I’m about to sing at whilst supporting Ed Sheeran!

We couldn’t have said it better! ‘Lighthouse’ perfectly showcases Calum’s passion and emotion with lyrics like “But I’ll swim to you, swim for my life and I pray I make it before the night’s out” and “The world can try to tear us apart, but our love will guide us home like a lighthouse.” Comparing his love to a ‘Lighthouse’ conveys that the love he shares for his partner is so bright that it can be a lifeline and make sure he finds his way home. If that’s not true love, we don’t know what is.
We hope this is the first of many new songs to come this year, but for now, you can catch Calum on tour with Ed Sheeran with tickets available here. Let us know if you’ll be catching a show and your thoughts on ‘Lighthouse’ by tweeting us @TheHoneyPop or find us buzzing on Facebook and Instagram!
