Stevie Nicks has shared a powerful performance of her most recent single, “The Lighthouse”, as part of her Election Day eve appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Appearing on the program on Monday (Nov. 4), the iconic Fleetwood Mac frontwoman’s performance was prefaced by host Jimmy Kimmel referring to the track as an “anthem for women’s rights”, with Nicks’ stirring rendition being accompanied by visuals of thunder and lightning.
“I wrote this song a few months after Roe v. Wade was overturned,” wrote Nicks in a post on Instagram upon its release. “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.”
She continued, “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,” Nicks said.
Since its release, “The Lighthouse” has peaked at No. 2 on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, and was also voted as Favorite New Music on Sep. 29.
On Oct. 12, Nicks made her triumphant return to Saturday Night Live, performed on the long-running NBC sketch comedy show for the first time in 41 years during the Ariana Grande-hosted episode.
Her appearance on the show featured both a performance of “The Lighthouse” and “Edge of Seventeen”, the latter of which peaked at No. 11 on the Hot 100 chart upon its release in 1982.
