This song was written in 2008 but was only released in 2020.
Stevie Nicks has made her return with a video for her first solo song in six years, “Show Them The Way (feat. Dave Grohl).”
The powerful new protest song sounds like classic Stevie Nicks, and it was co-written with The Bird and the Bee’s Greg Kurstin. Dave Grohl also drums on the track, while Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart plays guitar. The accompanying Cameron Crow-created video comes packed with black-and-white photography of protests from the past and present.
“I hope that this song and its words will be seen as a prayer ~ a prayer for our country ~ a prayer for our world,” Nicks explains.
Stevie Nicks and Dave Stewart have released a song in support of Ukraine, which features Russian musician Boris Grebenshchikov and Ukrainian counterpart Serhii Babkin.
"I wanted to write a gentle, peaceful song after seeing all the horrible images coming out of Ukraine," Stewart said in a statement. "The song is about how all war is horrific and it's written from the perspective of a young 18-year-old having to march off to war, not really understanding what he's getting into."
Impareggiabile pezzo post-punk di Nina Hagen. Era il 1993 e il mondo andava così male. Non che le cose siano migliorate, ma continuiamo a ballare la danza di Shiva!
July 2012: Singer-songwriter and actor Joss Stone, war photographer Paul Conroy and musician and producer Dave Stewart are calling on world leaders gathering at the United Nations to deliver an effective Arms Trade Treaty as they launch a new version of the song ‘Take Good Care’.

Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island in 1964, and was the 466th prisoner to arrive that year.

The number was imposed on him by the prison for over 25 years, until his release in 1990. "Prisoner 46664" continues to be used as a reverential title for him. Shortly before Joe Strummer's death, he and U2's Bono co-wrote the song 46664 for Mandela as part of the campaign against AIDS in Africa.
Scritto poco prima della morte di Joe è un (bellissimo) brano reggae firmato Joe Strummer, Bono, Dave Stewart, ma eseguito da Bono, The Edge, David A. Stewart, Abdel Wright e Youssou N'Dour. Purtroppo Joe non ce la fece a partecipare....
