Beau Lightning

One Album

Inspired by California daze, desert surrounding the city of sin, cowboys, the moon landing and the alter ego in which BEAU LIGHTNING resides. Rock'n roll is the name of the game. And remember folks...
WHEN YOU HEAR THE LIGHTNING, WATCH FOR THE THUNDER!
MTV - “Beau Lightning reminds us why we love rock music and that it will always be here to stay.”

Born and bred in Adelaide, Australia, Beau Lightning started young, learning drums from the age of 8, picking up guitar at 12 and figuring out the rest in high school, always attracted to genre’s encompassing some version of rock. He’s a one man show before hitting the stage, writing and recording everything alone, then bringing a band to the live setting.
Pilerats - “Beau Lightning put his foot forward as one of the city's most exciting newcomers”
Eli, the other half of Beau’s alter ego, has been involved in a bunch of bands and projects from his teens through to his early 20’s. When the band ‘Lucid Dreams’ broke up he realised it was time to go it alone and hone in on his songwriting skills. “I’d written a couple albums worth of music before finally figuring out the path I wanted to go down. After writing ‘Last Night’, i knew I had finally created something that truly encompassed what I was about, the inception of Beau Lightning came soon after. Once I created this character, this alter ego, it honestly opened me up to a whole new world of writing I didn’t think I could ever go down or pull off. I genuinely feel like I unlocked something in myself that I’m really proud of.”
Life Without Andy - “‘Last Night’ definitely carries all the elements you want to be hearing in a rock tune; huge vocals, wailing guitars, and a shitload of swagger.
Around the time of writing ‘Last Night’ Beau moved into a friends recording studio which he says has been a pivotal part in finding his sound. “I’ve been able to really focus on production and recording techniques in a way that I never have had the opportunity to before. There’s been countless hours and late nights tinkering,
figuring out how a recording studio works, learning what works for me and my sound. It’s really been a huge turning point for me and my musical journey.”
Beau has now moved from the smaller city of Adelaide to it’s bigger, busier, bustling neighbour, Melbourne, to further harness his skills and solidify his presence in the Australian music scene.

Lyrics:

Well I’ve got this idea in my head That you might hit the ground Flight 101 won’t take off And you’ll be here instead I’ve got the feeling you might come back And at first I will refuse But we both know it’s true, I am weak So within the week I will be yours Chorus Don’t get bit by the same dog twice Look back and remember the lies Before you make a quick decision that you can not change The remake’s not the same So let’s see how you’re gonna go Verse 2 You were always so good at pushing me away to pull me back in, forever and a day I think your skillset has been under appreciated In the art of breaking my heart time and time again Chorus Don’t get bit by the same dog twice Look back and remember the lies Before you make a quick decision that you can not change The remake’s not the same So let’s see how you’re gonna go Bridge Yeah

Lyrics:

I want to live that rock ’n’ roll life Where is my Gallagher brother I want that rock ’n’ roll life Where’s my whiskey on arrival to the bar My rock ’n’ roll life Where’s the girl on my side all the time That old rock ’n’ roll life Well it’s a dying breed baby Chorus I want to live that rock ’n’ roll life I want to let the devil chase my tail I want to break this guitar on a stage Because the people are watching And I want that rock ’n’ roll life I want to be that record you put on When you’re feeling down and you’re feeling low I’ll make the soundtrack to your life when you want to get high again Verse 2 They say that you can sell your soul to the devil for fame Well baby I can’t sell what’s been stollen from me What you’ve taken from me Are you the devil? Will you make me rich some day? Or, have you just pushed me aside and stollen my heart away Chorus I want to live that rock ’n’ roll life I want to let the devil chase my tail I want to break this guitar on a stage Because the people are watching And I want that rock ’n’ roll life (Instrumental) Chorus I want to live that rock ’n’ roll life I want to let the devil chase my tail I want to break this guitar on a stage Because the people are watching And I want that rock ’n’ roll life I want to be that record you put on When you’re feeling down and you’re feeling low I’ll make the soundtrack to your life when you want to get high again

Lyrics:

I’ve got a feeling that I can’t describe I’ve got a feeling that you’re on the night And I don’t know why you said goodbye No, I don’t know why you said goodbye Chorus Girl, keep on living, like I know you will Find someone better, like I know you will But I don’t know how and I don’t know now What to do with myself It seems the love that we had is harder to find that I thought X 2 Verse 2 I hate it when you’re out at night I hate it when you’re out of my sight Because I’ve heard these lines so many times Don’t you think I see through all of these lies Chorus Girl, keep on living, like I know you will Find someone better, like I know you will But I don’t know how and I don’t know now What to do with myself It seems the love that we had is harder to find that I thought X2 Bridge From the scotch on my tongue To the smoke inside your lungs I don’t got you babe I don’t got you no more From the whiskey on my breath To the smoke inside your chest I feel so on my own Since you up and left I smell the smoke inside my head do you feel the warmth of the whiskey on my chest? Ahhh The whiskey on my chest The scotch on my tongue I don’t got you babe I don’t got you no more Chorus Girl, keep on living, like I know you will Find someone better, like I know you will But I don’t know how and I don’t know now What to do with myself It seems the love that we had is harder to find that I thought

Lyrics:

There’s something in this window that I’m sleeping next to Something and it’s staring down at me Is it my reflection? Because I do not remember looking like that Oh someone come and rescue me Because this thing is Oh, it’s moving on in And I’m starting to freak Im starting to freak out Pre Chorus There’s something in my window And its staring down at me And its moving on in Chorus Is there a monster in my bed or am I dreaming Am I dreaming Am I dreaming Is this all in my head Is there a monster in my bed or am I dreaming Am I dreaming Am I dreaming Is there a monster in my bed and is it screaming Is it screaming Is it screaming Songs for the dead Is there a monster in my bed or am I dreaming Am I dreaming Am I dreaming Verse 2 When I woke up this morning I felt like, last night, something went down Am I the same, am I insane What the hell is going on in my brain Did I hear voices in my weak sleep Did somebody come to teach me that we cant reach For the sky, because everything that i’ve been taught Yeah everything that i’ve been told is actually a lie Chorus Is there a monster in my bed or am I dreaming Am I dreaming Am I dreaming Is this all in my head Is there a monster in my bed or am I dreaming Am I dreaming Am I dreaming Is there a monster in my bed and is it screaming Is it screaming Is it screaming Songs for the dead Is there a monster in my bed or am I dreaming Am I dreaming Am I dreaming Bridge I want to know you I’ve got to know So come inside And take me home I want to know you I’ve got to know So come inside And take me home I want to know you I’ve got to know So come inside to prove me wrong And show me you exist Chorus Is there a monster in my bed or am I dreaming Am I dreaming Am I dreaming Is this all in my head Is there a monster in my bed or am I dreaming Am I dreaming Am I dreaming Is there a monster in my bed or am I dreaming Am I dreaming Am I dreaming Is this all in my head Is there a monster in my bed or am I dreaming Am I dreaming Am I dreaming
