what's with the baby jane high pitched whisper? And very lispy.....that whole first half. I get the attempt at a big powerful punch up in the middle....but....

The second half where it rocks is great, but she sounds icky in the high whisper......

As Hawkeye pointed out, I guess whispering is what you do when don't have much of a voice left. I hate Lindsey's whispering songs every bit as much as Stevie's.

This is a pretty good song, my only quip would be the length of the opening part, would have worked much better to have kept that at the first 20-30 secs as an opening and crank it up to the pretty good chorus part. It does resonate and the production is pretty good. Makes me hopeful for just one more album and I don't mind if she mixes old with new as there are many gems still in the vaults.

The video is awesome and Halloween creepy to boot!

I hope her other new songs have more of a melody.

I applaud Stevie for taking a stand on a hot button topic. She is risking losing some fans. I think you get to a certain age where you don't care what other people think. Stevie has always had her political beliefs but never wanted to talk or sing about them until a few years ago. I really like the chorus of the song and the vocal. But not so much of the verses. Reminds me of the Elvis vocal she did. Candyland? I hope though that we might get an album. Fingers crossed

All I can say is, I’m just thrilled to see where her vote will go. My beliefs would never be swayed by a celebrity when it comes to politics; having said that, it says a lot that celebrities like Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, Oprah Winfrey, and yes Stevie are endorsing or voting for Harris, while celebrities like Papa Roach, Ted Nugent, Laura Lommer, and Tucker Carlson are endorsing or voting for Trump.

I love seeing all the stories on yahoo, msn, and google about Stevie’s song, and I hope the song makes me people really think about Roe vs Wase.

Agree!

I give her props for being willing to put herself out there. She'll get a ton of negative attention from a lot of scary folks. There are a lot of high profile people who don't want to deal with all of that and choose to be silent instead.

While similar to "Show Them the Way", this song is better. The lyrics are more concrete (although she still needs an editor, but she has for 30 years) and sonically, it's more interesting. I agree about the whispered vocal, but unfortunately, her full singing voice is just shouting these days. Her voice works well in the chorus.

I don't mind the politics. Stevie is a white woman of privilege. I'm glad she is using her voice, however belatedly that may be.

[Nathan]

Love, drugs, and the sea are what she should stick to recording songs about.

I like this sonically. And I LOVE this spooky woman in the lighthouse theme. But damn, my noggin is sore from her hitting me over the top of the head with those protest signs. Could it be any less subtle?

Best part is the pregnant black woman with an afro playing a VIOLIN. What in the actual f.

I miss the boots! I guess she is Protest Stevie now, so she is wearing COMBAT boots, it appears.
