Stevie Nicks releases stirring feminist anthem “The Lighthouse”: Listen

“The Lighthouse,” out Friday, is a rousing feminist anthem designed to galvanize voters with lyrics like “get angry” and “they’ll take your power away if you don’t stand up.”

In the accompanying music video, Nicks unveils her distinctive voice from the top of a lighthouse – symbolizing a path forward in the darkness – as shots of people at rallies holding signs like “If it's not your body, it's not your decision” and “Real “Upholding men are feminists” is getting rolling.

Nicks began writing the song after Roe v. Wade was overthrown in 2022.

“It seemed like overnight people were saying, 'What can we do about this as a collective force?' For me, it was about writing a song,” Nicks said in a press release. “It took a while because I was traveling. Then early one morning I was watching the news on TV and a certain news anchor said something that felt like she was talking to me and explaining what the loss of Roe v. Wade would mean. I wrote the song the next morning and recorded it that evening.
