Stevie Nicks has released a powerful new song ‘The Lighthouse’, inspired by the US Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade – check it out the video below.The former Fleetwood Mac singer has described the song as “the most important thing I ever do”, a rousing call-to-arms for women to reclaim their reproductive healthcare rights in the US and beyond.“I have my scars, you have yours / Don’t let them take your power,” she sings softly at the opening of the track.

The track swells into a full rock production, with Nicks singing: “They’ll take your soul, they’ll take your power / Unless you save it / And that’s that / Unless you stand up and take it back”.The song’s accompanying video finds Nicks dressed in black inside the beam of a lighthouse as a night-time storm rages outside, with cutaways to feminist protesters from different eras.

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.
