The Lighthouse Family split up in early 2003 due to "a heavy promotional schedule and the incredible international success of 'Whatever Gets You Through The Day'." This led to both men pursuing individual projects. Tunde has embarked on a solo career, and has already released an album called Tunde in late 2004, while Tucker joined a rock band, The Orange Lights. According to their management, the band has not split up despite being inactive: "there is always the possibility of another Lighthouse Family album one day."
Both Baiyewu and Tucker were working in bars when they first met; together, they recorded demos of a number of songs Tucker had written during the late 1980s. Among these, a demo of "Ocean Drive" attracted the attention of Polydor Records A&R director Colin Barlow, who, in 1993, signed the band to a six-month development deal.
The band were funded for the recording of additional demos, and teamed with songwriters Martin Brammer (formerly of Kane Gang), Tim Kellett (formerly of Simply Red), and Tim Laws (co-writer of "Dreams" by Gabrielle). Eventually, the band was signed to record an album proper; finished in August 1994, Ocean Drive also included songs written by Shaun Ward (also of Simply Red), Junior Giscombe, and Alan Glass, and was produced by Mike Peden.
The band was managed throughout its career by Keith Armstrong and Phil Mitchell, co-founders of Newcastle-based Kitchenware Records; the label had gone on hiatus during the 1990s in order to handle the management of Lighthouse Family and other musicians.
In the wake of an economic recession in the UK, British record labels were, at the time, primarily signing artists with the goal of short-term profit. In contrast, Barlow, in The Times, expected that the band could last for "ten years or more". At the time of the launch of the first album, Polydor's investments in the band totaled ₤250,000. Peden's hiring was described as a "big spend", and music videos were filmed overseas in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
The lead single, "Lifted", received airplay on BBC Radio One as well as a number of BBC Local Radio stations, and The Chart Show aired its music video. Still, this did not translate to considerable single or album sales within 1995; it wasn't until "Lifted" was re-released in 1996 that it reached the top five on the UK Singles Chart, and Ocean Drive, which had been deleted, rebounded and was certified six-times platinum by the end of 1997. Its follow-up, "Postcards from Heaven", achieved similar sales status in 1998.
In 2010, The Lighthouse Family reformed. The band accounced tour details for 2011, as well as a new album coming up.

Lighthouse Family Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are the one thing that keeps me smiling
That's why I'm always wishing hard for you
'Cause your life shines so bright
I don't feel no solitude
You are my first star at night
I'd be lost in space without you
And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
Feels just so fine
When we touch the sky, me and you
This is my idea of heaven
Why can't it always be so good?
But it's alright, I know you're out there
Doing what you've gotta do
You are my soul satellite
I'd be lost in space without you
And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
I'll never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
I will never lose my faith in you
In "Lost In Space," Lighthouse Family sings about the importance of having someone in their life who serves as a constant source of comfort and joy. They express a weariness with the "me-first attitude" that seems prevalent in society and the culture that often prioritizes individualism. Instead, they find solace in this one person who keeps them smiling and brings light to their life. They describe feeling as if they would be lost in space without this person, indicating that they would feel adrift and alone if not for their presence.
The lyrics reflect a deep appreciation for this person, describing them as a "first star at night" and a "soul satellite." They make it clear that they never want to lose faith in this person and that they view their connection as something that could lead them to heaven. They find heaven in the moments when they are "touching the sky" with this special person, and they long for those moments to always be good.
Overall, "Lost In Space" is a tribute to the power of human connection and the importance of having someone in one's life who provides strength, support, and love. It encourages listeners to hold onto those special people in their lives and to never lose faith in them, even when times get tough.
