"Under the Lighthouse" comes from In Loving Memory Of..., the 1997 debut by American-Canadian rock band Big Wreck, and it got a single release in Canada only. Frontman Ian Thornley wrote the words and Forrest Williams the music.
The album around it stacks progressive layers on top of a heavy Southern-rock swagger, and its lyrics keep circling back to relationships; Thornley has said most of the record was written about one girl who was still getting under his skin. "The Oaf" was its big American hit, and the band promoted the record on its first major national tour, opening for Dream Theater.
