Yeah Fleetwood Mac did a lot of songs that had deeper meanings due to the releationships in the band goin back and forth and the rumors (another great album of theirs) about stuff going on or not going on in the band.

"well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I've built my life around you". Damn, if you've ever been in a ltr those lyrics hit hard.

One of the greatest things about Fleetwood Mac and more specifically the Stevie/Lindsey drama, was the music that came from it. It's so raw and real, especially the whole entirety of the Rumors album, almost all us have known those feelings at one time or another but none of us could say it so beautifully and poetically as they did and all while playing to each other

It's so real and it's her and Lindsay standing there dealing with it. They were together a long time and went through some of the biggest moments of their lives together. He still loved her. She still loved him. It just didn't work. Their strength allowed the art and us to win. I appreciate that.

This song is deep and lovely. I think it is an amazing example of how songs can be a mirror to the listener's soul. You hear in it what you need to hear, and it can mean different things to different people. It can also mean different things to the same person at different times in their life. Brilliant song.

So true. Landslide at 47 vs when I was 16 tugs at my heart in completely different ways. It doesn’t even have to be a romantic relationship that it speaks to. At the stage of my life I’m in now... the change in my life is my children leaving the nest. It still resonates.

WOW you nailed it! That is it exactly. And she wrote it about the guy standing next to her. They were a couple and trying to make a break into the music industry and she didn't know if they should continue to be together....their love story is incredible....most of the songs they wrote about eachother especially on the Rumours albulm while they were breaking up....but stayed in a Fleetwood Mac for 40 more years....still weren't over eachother here.....

If you REALLY want to see magic unfold on stage....Look this up: "Fleetwood Mac - Silver Springs - The Dance -1997" It's about her relationship with the guitarist that is right next to her on stage. When she turns that microphone at the end and stares directly into his eyes, there is NO ONE ELSE in that ENTIRE room. She is singing directly to him. Expressing all of their love, all of their grief and all of their loss, right there on that stage for everyone to see. It's UNBELIEVABLE to watch!

I have been in love with Stevie Nicks since I first heard her voice. Fleetwood Mac is my favourite band.

Your thoughtful and intuitive interpretations of the songs you're hearing for the first time are usually spot-on. I'm so impressed!

This is the BEST reaction/analogy of this song! Spot on. The relationship and changes she described were written to document her intense struggle/coming to terms with the man right next to her picking the gorgeous accoustic accompaniment.

She actually wrote the song about quitting music, which was the love of her life, not lindsey. Her musical career was failing and her dad gave her six months to get it together or get a 'real job'. Her "love" in this song and "dreams" are her music but she realises she's getting older and had to find another path. Luckily Fleetwood mac came along 3 months later!

That was a beautiful moment between two former lovers. She was singing to Lindsay Buckingham and it was such a gorgeous moment after all those years.

Oh, the way Lindsay looks at her, his hand coming to his mouth to hold back the emotion knowing they are soul mates that fate has seen fit that they not be together. Beautifully poetic.

EPIC, ICONIC, LEGENDARY BAND AND SONG. Stevie is one of the best songwriters!

Love all their songs! Stevie Nicks has a voice that is so hard to find HAPPY NEW YEAR! 💕🤘🏻🤘🏻

Lindsey's guitar playing is so perfect.

I graduated in 76. You could not go to a party without Rumors or Frampton Come Alive being played. Even if it wasn't a party you were going to, just walking through an apartment complex on a Friday or Saturday you would hear one of these. Golden.

I read somewhere years ago that she wrote this song when she was 15 years old and that the song was a gift to her father. One of my all time favorites.

If Elvis was the King of RR, Stevie is the Queen

Landslide would have to be one of their classics if not the classic, just beautiful

India I love your reactions and it is so good to see younger people catching onto 70's music, which is criminally underrated.

Love this song and especially this version. My daughter picked it as our father/daughter dance at her wedding. ❤️

@Dahoss I agree, but there must have been something emotional going on. In an interview, Lindsay said something about that she's never married, and he's moved on and gotten married, and so he thinks that this is part of the problem, and in this "Landslide", and, another concert take on it, there was emotion eminating from both parties. I saw Stevie in concert a couple years back on her solo tour. Great concert, where before every song, she gave a brief history behind it. She didn't talk about Lindsay at all, tho.

@kiasman0114

4 жыл бұрын

@Dahoss it was actually more of Lindsey wanting them to put off touring for a year or so and Stevie had no interest in waiting so she told Mick either get someone to replace him or she would just go back on a solo tour. Obviously her and Lindsey have never resolved their feelings. She dumped him 40 years ago but still tries to hold on to a piece of him. He moved on but you can still see the way he looks at her that she definitely has a piece of his heart. Celebs are as crazy as the rest of us

Another great example of a powerful song off the Rumours album,which was written because all of the group was emotional and was breaking up.

Stevie is a legend. In every aspect. Her lyrics ARE legendary.

Stevie Nicks wrote this song in 1973 when she and Lindsey Buckingham (playing guitar) were in Aspen Colorado. I wrote it (Landslide) for Lindsey - for him, about him. It's dear to both of us because it's about us. We're out there singing about our lives. ~Stevie Nicks Q Magazine, January 2004

Classic! Best band in the world still playing. No one is better.

This song makes me think of my kids growing up. How quickly it all goes by. My youngest is 18 now so it’s definitely a tearjerker for me.

The guy playing the guitar is Lindsey Buckingham, the guy she wrote the song to when she was 24 and he was 23. They had been a couple since they were 16&17.

Lindsey crushes this song!

You got it right. Stevie wrote this song when she was on a vacation in aspen, Colorado and she looked out a window at the rockies and saw an avalanche and thought her life was pretty much coming down like an avalanche.

I think she has also been humbled. She saw her image reflected in the snow, then it all tumbled down. When I watch them, I see him looking so adoringly at her, and she seems more independent. And it was her who ended their relationship.

When Fleetwood Mac got back together and did “The Dance” concert- (where this performance is from) it was fantastic!! Girl- there is sooo much history behind Fleetwood Mac- their story , the wonderful music, etc. it goes on forever. No doubt a fav band of mine hands down! And Stevie Nicks, the Goddess, has a great solo career as well! 💛✌️🤘🏼

Stevie Nick's is massively underrated as a singer and her chemistry with Lindsay Buckingham (guitarist) was second to none. It was certainly full of passion whether they were breaking up or getting back together.

You give the most in-depth reactions. I also appreciate the background info before the song.

I love that you like my favourite band and my favourite singer Stevie Nicks, when I was your age I wanted to be Stevie Nicks! I named my daughter Sara after Stevie’s song “Sara”. Landslide is such a special song and am so pleased you enjoyed and you “got” it ♥️

India, sometimes I lose you in the KZread noise, but when I stumble back on an older video, I remember how much I love your quick grasp and breakdown of lyrics. ♥️

You explained it better than I've heard anyone else. I understood what I didnt get. I only discovered you years after you stopped doing this. Wish you'd come back..Beautiful

"This is for you Daddy...." 😭😭😭

My favorite song of theirs. The way Stevie sings it here is much more touching than the original recording. She holds certain notes longer here

You nailed it, " AVALANCHE" ! Was a passionate relationship she had with Lindsey. Sure made great music. 👌👏

at the end of the day this is one of the great songs of all time. THIS is why old folks like me have lost hope for music in todays world and worry that we have lost the ability to recognize great music.. It is why I enjoy channels like yours it gives me hope. You keep doing what you do young lady, I hope you can expose your generation to this type of music so we can take a turn and this generation can begin to produce its own version of truly meaningful high quality music, it is so rare today a song here or there an artist now and then but this was a time when we were all flooded with great song, great artist great bands one after another songs that you folks listen to and realize they are great never made it near number one in that time because there were 100 others just as good and someone had to lose. Today if a good song comes out it soars to number one cuz there is so little goos music and daily there are mediocre songs at number one because they are the best of all the awful stuff out there..anyway off my soapbox keep exposing your generation to great songs like this I hope it helps!!

This song makes me think about my parents. My dad died of cancer in 2011, and he had been married to my mom for 36 years, since they were 19 years old. She built her life around him and had to start over when he died. The lyrics hit me hard for that reason.

She and the guitarist had been in a relationship years before. Their energy is moving to this day! I’m still not sure what the song is about but sure does work with the two of them love. You’re a joy btw!

I am SO glad you got the message on this one!!

Every song on the Rumour album is a break up song.

Great Song by Fleetwood Mac!

Stevie Nicks was at a cross road back in the early 1970s when she wrote this song. She was determining whether or not to keep pursuing her music dream and relationship with Lindsey Buckingham (the guitarist in the video) or walk away. This song was never released as a single but is one of Stevie's (and Fleetwood Mac's) most memorable songs. This version is from The Dance released in 1997.

Oh that knowing look from Lindsey to Stevie....so powerful!

Move forward past the anxiety. A message we all need now. 💕

Great group. Stevie Nicks is such an exceptional song writer & her voice is quite unique.

This song was written in Aspen in 1973 (She was just 25) Stevie Nicks has been left alone by her boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham(who is playing guitar) while he went on tour with the Everly Brothers. Buckingham Nicks had released their eponymous album that year to no commercial success, and that failure was her Landslide. This is the question if she will be successful, they were asked to join Fleetwood Mac NYE of 1974. This version was recorded 1997

Don't forget she dedicated Landslide to her dad.

Fleetwood Mac's album "Rumors" won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978, Rumours has since sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time,

fleetwood mac is my favourite band of ALL TIME. i have "rumours" tattooed behind my ear for that album

Also. Stevie; my gypsy 👑 . She's legendary. Of the musical loves of my life Stevie and Olivia Newton-John 💗🕊 are all I have left. Only 52 years on this planet. I'm still playing catch up on your videos. A great and underrated song by Stevie is Highway Man from the Belladonna album. Gypsy and Sara are all time faves. Rhiannon is so good and DREAMS is a classic. Great video India. Like the way you throw out the song facts and your interpretation was great.

Damn...wow. Thanks for reacting to this.

Simple guitar, beautiful lyrics, and spilling your guts out, all over the stage. If you don't tear up, see a doctor because you're dead inside.

The pleasure of watching these videos is that you are watching someone discover something you've already known, so it's like you're rediscovering it with fresh eyes. The song is very personal and touches everyone in similar but different ways. If you've heard this song a few times you've already made your interpretations.

fleetwood mac wrote songs about their real issues and lives. everything with stevie nicks is amazing. when her dad died she dedicated it to him.

Lindsey Buckingham was in my physical therapy classes. Really nice guy, I didn’t want to bother him for a picture because we were all doing therapy all the time but he took one with my 12 yr old daughter He was surprised she knew him. She told him we’re big fans I’ve been listening to Fleetwood Mac since I was born😊 he loved it

At the end, during the grand pause, the look he gives her. He is still in love with her. Despite all the hurt and mutual cruelty, there is still love there.

I like the way that you interpreted the the song. Thank you. Enjoy your life.

You're so good at the interpretations India. Indeed, Stevie and Lindsey Buckingham (the guitarist) who were in Fleetwood Mac together, actually they were romantically and musically together before FM and after several years with the FM band they broke up but they did so in front of the world through their music. All of us old folks got to see it unfolding across the years and it's beautiful to see Stevie and Lindsey still love each other after all these decades, even though they have both moved on with their lives.

this is one of those songs that stay with you once you hear it

This song meant so much to me as a teen and now heading towards 60 lyrically it still fits my life...that is true lyrical genius right there. What song can fit your whole life Landslide does...life is for ever changing and childern do get older and I sure am too

Stevie Nicks is such a fantastic songwriter and a magical performer! One of my all time favorites!
