Stevie Nicks new single and working on new album articles
Stevie Nicks confirms new solo album, single Show Them the Way
October 1, 2020 Stevie Nicks is back with new music – her latest single Show Them the Way is set to drop on October 9th! The Fleetwood Mac star confirmed her latest release during an interview with the Los Angeles Times, revealing her first solo release since 2014 album 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault was born out of a dream she had in the run-up to the 2008 presidential election. According to Nicks, she was invited to perform at a political benefit for icons of history in her vision, and Martin Luther King, Jr. led her by the arm into a ballroom where John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy and John Lewis were seated, awaiting her. The dream was so vivid that she wrote a poem based on her recollection, titled The Kennedy’s, which she shared online back in January, 2009. In addition to the new track, which will be accompanied by a Cameron Crowe-directed music video, she’s also working on a new solo album and will spend the remainder of the pandemic turning the poetry from her journals into lyrics, per the LA Times. Earlier this year, Eurythmics star Dave Stewart, who collaborated with Nicks on 24 Karat Gold and previous album In Your Dreams, confirmed he was working on tracks with the singer. It’s the latest project for the star, who will also hit cinema screens later this month with her 24 Karat Gold: The Concert movie. Check out her performance of Gypsy here. The release will be accompanied by a live album, set to drop at the end of October. https://retropopmagazine.com/stevie-...-them-the-way/ |

Here is her poem called The Kennedy, which her new single Show Them the Way is based off of. (If this is the song, it sucks.)
The Kennedy’s I had a fragile dream In a great house in the Hamptons I’d been there before Singing songs ~ doing benefits I was in a room alone Putting on my make-up Like so many things have come to me, The dress ~ came across the Persian carpet~ As I fell into the dress A thought came to me Into my heart~ “I have a dream” And a door opened~ It’s time now~ they’re waiting I turned around to face the music (the dreamers) “I’m ready for the Kennedy’s~” I don’t know if it was 1960 or 1963 Everything was timeless ~ even me I wasn’t old~ I wasn’t young~ I was just ~ part of the dream. A shadow walked with me ~ down the hall It was Martin Luther King~ All in shadow ~ all before me Overwhelmed by destiny Someone said, “sing us a song” “There’s the piano.. And handed me a drink~ The room was full of hope~ A song would set them free… I sat at the piano I stared at the shadows I sang the words “I have a dream” He wasn’t my old friend John ~ I didn’t know him…then But he smiled at me And I sang these words “What ever it takes to be free” I didn’t know these men~ But they knew me~ It was all symbolic, Nothing was as it seemed. They all left us in a single shot~ But they didn’t take the dream. They were there in that house, Discussing the future~ Drinking champagne. I was just the piano player~ The voice ~ part of their dream. I was 35 ~ or maybe I was 15~ It was just a night in the presence Of Martin Luther King~ I was just a dreamer; I was ready for the Kennedys… I got up from the piano I bowed my head As I walked thru the room They touched my hands Write about hope and a change of plan~ Light up the world if you can~ Light the fire ~ start it over Tell the world about the dream Change the world ~ begin again Start it up ~ make it real~ Back in the room where it all began My heart began to hurt~ I remember the beauty of the Hamptons The shadows playing in the sun And a voice said “The dream is not over~” “The dream has just begun~” I spun around to another shadow Slipping through the door~ My eyes opened ~ wide … What is all this for? The shadows said ~ “Don’t forget ~” “What we were fighting for…” Stevie Nicks Thursday night Feb. 2008 Sugar Grove, IL |

Why would care about a new album you completely relinquished and renounced your Stevie fandom quite some time ago

One CAN be a fan of the past works of an artist, even if you think their work for the past 35 years blows chunks.

She didn’t know these men, but they all knew her. That’s a testament to how famous she is.

The poem is fantastic. Don't let your current anger with her cloud your judgement.

In the dream, she walked thru the room, and not into it.

Kudos for calling this as the lyrics for the song; you were right well before the release

I agree with much of what Netter 75 says, but I overall I DO like it. The production is outstanding, great piano effect and fuller band sound towards the end. It does however have the same issues of her latter day writing, her inability to stick with what made her great- less is more! Imagine if players only love you when there playing had a full description of what they were playing? If you take out some of the middle of the song, where it does lose steam, the build towards the end would be much more effective. The last two minutes are really quite good and she turns on the vocals to a much greater effect. Timing out at about 3:30 we would have ourselves a winner. So if there's someone on here with good editing skills, we may have a good song become great.

Hmm, not sure why she said she needed five hours to do her makeup for the video. Other than the old pictures she's barely in it and most of that was her back walking down a hall.

But she does sound inspired and manages to (mostly) avoid the terrible flatness that plagues her later work. |

It could even be that there was another video where she was unhappy with her appearance and had it shelved .It would not be the first time.

Too many people on this site let their anger at Stevie cloud their judgement. Everything from her now is going to "suck", not because it actually does, but just because they're mad she doesn't do what they think she should do.

I'm just thankful that we have someone who can tell us how to act and feel about all things FM...

What she should do is try and sing more than 2 notes.
