Backstory:

Lavish Stop was formed in 2012 when four friends from a small town in Maine found a common interest in creating music that was a departure from their roots, yet still carried the essence of their shared memories and experiences. The group was made up of Phil Dawson (lead vocals and guitar), Isabella Norton (background vocals and bass), Jeremy Jacobson (drums), and Matt Matthews (lead guitar). They each brought their own unique musical influences and together they created a sound that blended the grit of rock and the soft undertones of indie music.

Despite their humble beginnings, their music caught the attention of a scout from an independent music label at one of their local performances and they were soon signed. The band quickly gained a following with their debut album and their popularity grew. As their career progressed, they consistently brought a level of depth and rawness to their music, which continually kept their fans engaged and on their toes.

Title:
Lighthouse in the Storm

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
G C G
Under the starry night, we used to roam,
Em D C
You and I, we were never alone.
G C G
A lighthouse in the storm, we used to be,
Em D C
Our love was our own sanctuary.

(Chorus)
G D Em
Now I am lost at sea,
C G D
I’ve lost my light, my key.
G D Em
Without you, it’s a ceaseless fight,
C G D
I need you by my side, to make it right.

(Verse 2)
G C G
We used to dance under the moonlit sky,
Em D C
In your arms, I could forever lie.
G C G
The world’s noise, together, we could mute,
Em D C
Our love was a beautiful, everlasting flute.

(Repeat Chorus)

“Since their debut album, I’ve been a hardcore fan of Lavish Stop. Their music speaks to me on a personal level. I feel like they’re able to capture emotions in their songs that I can’t put into words myself. ‘Lighthouse in the Storm’ especially resonates with me, it’s like a personal anthem. Plus, they’re just good people. I’ve met them at a few meet-and-greets and they’re always genuinely interested in their fans. It’s not just about the music for them, it’s about the connection they make with their listeners. That’s why Lavish Stop is my favorite band.”
