Stevie Nicks Releases Surprise New Song ‘The Lighthouse’ About Women’s Rights

by Paul Cashmere on September 27, 2024

in News

Stevie Nicks has released a brand new song about women’s rights ‘The Lighthouse’ ahead of the American election.

“Don’t let them take your power. They’ll take your soul they’ll take your power” Stevie sings in ‘The Lighthouse’.

Stevie says, “I wrote this song a few months after Roe v. Wade was overturned. It seemed like overnight, people were saying “what can we, as a collective force, do about this…” 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. I wrote the song the next morning and recorded it that night.

“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.

“This is an anthem”.

~ Stevie Nicks
