About the Song
“Soldier’s Angel” reflects on Stevie’s visits to the Bethesda Naval Hospital and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. In 2005, Stevie made regular visits the medical center, meeting with recovering military service members, bringing them iPods packed with music, and most importantly, listening to their personal stories. In 2006, Stevie founded the Stevie Nicks Soldier’s Angel Foundation in their honor, with proceeds benefiting their recovery efforts.
Lindsey Buckingham sings and plays guitar on the track.
Stevie has been a long-time supporter of U.S. service members. In 1991, she wrote the song “Desert Angel” (from Timespace) for the U.S. men and women who served in Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm.
Sunflower Painting from ‘A Lady in Ukraine’
In 2022, Stevie received a special birthday gift from a Ukrainian woman named Julia. She wrote the following letter about the gift, which she read at shows during the 2022 tour.
“The next song was written 14 years ago. Sadly, I always knew it would be called back into service at some point in my life. Sometimes it’s easier to say how you feel in music and in pictures. I’ll let the song and the video tell the rest of the story. The sunflower painting was a birthday present for me from a lady in Ukraine. Her name is Julia. This is for Julia. This is ‘Soldier’s Angel.’“
When Russian invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Stevie joined the humanitarian aid effort to assist the Ukrainian people, or UN Crisis Relief. Its website and QR code appeared at the end of the special “Soldier’s Angel” video, which played during “Soldier’s Angel” at the 2022 shows.
