Filmmaker Cameron Crowe directed the song’s music video.
Stevie Nicks' new single is manifesting peace amid 2020’s tumultuous political process.
“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,” Nicks explained.
“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.
c’mon God, show them the way.
like God, on this day.
Spirits all, give them the strength.
Peace can come if you really want it.
I think were just in time to save it.”
“‘Show Them the Way is among Stevie Nicks best, most personal songs.
Theres an immediacy about it, too.
“Show Them the Way began as a poem, and grew into one of her strongest musical tracks.
It feels like both a gift and a fever dream about hope and promise.
