Produced by Greg Kurstin, the standalone track tells the story of a very vivid dream the Fleetwood Mac singer had while editing a concert film in St Charles, IL in 2008.
Nicks was watching a number of documentaries during the two-month period in town: “Mostly the fight for civil rights – The dreams of John Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Bobby Kennedy and John Lewis ~ and all the hidden figures that surrounded them. I was hypnotized,” she explains. “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 never recorded it until now,” Nicks adds. “I felt that this was its time, its reason. I understood what it meant then and what it means now~ Please God, show them the way~ Please God, on this day. Spirits all, give them the strength. Peace can come if you really want it.”
All proceeds from the record will benefit MusiCares, a music industry charity that provides a safety net and assistance for music people in times of financial, medical, and personal need.
The rocker will screen her live film, “Stevie Nicks 24 Karat Gold The Concert”, in cinemas around the world on October 21 and October 25, and release a companion live recording on October 30.
