Fleetwood Mac - Landslide - Live Tusk Tour

"Landslide," written by Stevie Nicks in Aspen, Colorado, after an argument with former lover and fellow band member, Lindsey Buckingham, is a reflection of her bittersweet relations with him at that time, as well as a reflection of the changes she was experiencing in her life.

As the story goes, Stevie and Lindsey were in Colorado and had a disagreement in which Lindsey left her in Aspen and drove the old "beat-up" car down the "snow-covered hill." Stevie never thought she would be stranded - she didn't care if Lindsey left her there. She had a lifetime bus pass on Greyhound since her father worked for the company and knew she could get out of Aspen on her own. However, Greyhound went on strike and Stevie was stranded and all alone, realizing she had no one to rely on but herself.

The song is touching, displaying how Stevie's simple poetry, while accompanied by the familiar, comfortable acoustics from Buckingham's guitar, can exhibit an overwhelming feeling of emotion that comes from within the heart.

I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, Ive been afraid of changing
cause Ive built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
Im getting older too

Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down

Written by Stevie Nicks 1974

@MrKevino6 Her father always thought it was about him, but it was really about Lindsey and her questioning whether or not she should go back to school or continue with him and keep pursuing music.
