Stevie Nicks<\/strong>‘ new song “The Lighthouse<\/a>” is here, and according to the music legend, it might be not\u00a0only the most important song she’s ever written, but the most important thing she’s ever done.<\/p>\n

Stevie describes the song, about women’s rights, as an “anthem.” She’s the one leading the charge, singing, “I wanna be The Lighthouse\/\u00a0Bring all of you together.” In a note, she explains she started the song a few months after Roe v. Wade was overturned.<\/p>\n

“It seemed like overnight, people were saying ‘what can we, as a collective force, do about this,'” she recalls. “For me, it was to write a song. It took a while because I was on the road. Then early one morning, I was watching the news on TV and a certain newscaster said something that felt like she was talking to me, explaining what the loss of Roe v Wade would come to mean.”<\/p>\n

“I wrote the song the next morning and recorded it that night,” she continues. “That was September 6, 2022. I have been working on it ever since. I have often said to myself, ‘This may be the most important thing I ever do. To stand up for the women of the United States and their daughters and granddaughters and the men that love them.'”<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the song, Stevie sings, “They’ll take your soul, they’ll take your power\/ Unless you save it\/ … I wanna teach ’em to fight\/ I wanna tell ’em this has happened before\/ Don’t let it happen again.”<\/p>\n

“The Lighthouse” is Stevie’s first new music since she released a cover of Buffalo Springfield<\/strong>‘s “For What It’s Worth” and her first new original song since 2020’s “Show Them the Way.” She’ll perform on Saturday Night Live<\/em> on Oct. 12.<\/p>\n
