Stevie Nicks has shared her first solo single in six years. The song is called 'Show Them The Way', and references John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She enlisted Dave Grohl to play drums on the track, which was produced and co-written by Greg Kurstin.
In a statement, Nicks wrote: "One night I had a dream. A dream that was so real that I was pretty sure it had happened. It was a cinematic story. It had a beginning, a middle and an end. Every detail, every color, every smile – was there. I started writing the story the moment my eyes opened.
"I was invited to a party – to play piano and sing a few songs. It was a benefit. There were political people there. It felt really important. I was just the piano player, the voice, part of their dream.
"I wrote the poem the next day and the music the day after that. I never recorded it until now. I felt that this was its time, its reason. I understood what it meant then and what it means now...

"I hope that this song and its words will be seen as a prayer – a prayer for our country – a prayer for our world."
