Stevie Nicks returns to ‘SNL’ after 40 years with powerful women’s rights song ‘The Lighthouse’

Nicks also performs “Edge of Seventeen,” the classic from her 1981 debut solo album.

Stevie Nicks, whose last Saturday evening live appearance came in December 1983, returning to the late night show at a critical time to deliver a critical message.

Nicks first sang “The Lighthouse,” a call to action for women’s rights that she wrote shortly afterward Roe v. Wade was destroyed two summers ago.

“Don’t let them take your power / Don’t leave it alone these last few hours,” she sings. “Don’t close your eyes and hope for the best / The dark is out there, the light is moving fast.”

While Nicks has not explicitly endorsed a presidential candidate, he recently praised Taylor Swift’s message in support of Vice President Kamala Harris.

Nicks’ second performance was a stirring rendition of “Edge of Seventeen,” one of the standout songs from her 1981 debut solo album, Bella Donna.

“Edge of Seventeen” is also at number 217 Rolling stone‘s list of ‘Greatest Songs’.
