I've never seen this as a love song, but more of a sad, beautiful, heartbreak song.

This is actually a break-up song. Written for Lindsey. It is Lindsey on guitar, and she is singing to him. The live version is much more emotional. She really puts everything into it.

Before joining Fleetwood Mac, Stevie and Lindsey recorded an album together that did not do well, and they were dropped by their record company. Stevie wrote this song at a time when she was second guessing her career choice.

Stevie Nicks has that unique voice that can be instantly recognized. A beautiful voice and beautiful song. Well chosen Cosmo Kramer!!! 👍👍👍

Stevie is one of the greatest singers ever inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame twice once by herself other w Fleetwood Mac. The beautiful guitar playing is by Lindsey Buckingham. Has a great voice also. Have you reacted to RHIANNON the version on Midnight Special in 76? Stevie was on 🔥 Fire. She's,a rocker also. This is the video to react to the others are very good this is phenomenal.

Give it up also for the amazing guitarist Lindsey Buckingham

the song is about surviving a breakup. losing someone you've built your life around. then moving on with your life.

The beauty of this song is it so relatable to so many points in peoples life. Failing relationships or just the fear of growing older. As an older married person and seeing my SO fading I can feel the Landslide even more than breakups in my early life. The song just gets stronger.

I love, love, love this song!

Harri, you asked if I was going through something when I first heard this song. Yes...it's called puberty. LOL So what I meant by saying I felt like she was singing directly to me was really that I *wished* she was singing to me! I mean, as a boy, looking at photos of this gorgeous young woman, listening to her angelic voice, and dreaming that one day a girl as pretty as her would care about me so much to write and sing such powerful emotions...well, as I said in my intro on the video, I instantly fell madly in love with her. ps~I liked what you said about how it would sound like a love song but would then turn somber a few times, because that really defines her on-again/off-again relationship with Fleetwood Mac guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, the lucky SOB who Stevie actually wrote this song for.

Check out "Second Hand News" it's short but sweet...!

I always like the way Stevie renders her songs, and that ethereal voice has a soothing lullaby quality to it at times. She still sounds so fresh even all these years later, great choice!

Stevie Nicks was my first crush. Her voice is a national treasure.... captivating.

This one can bring a tear to my eye...”children get older, I’m getting older, too...”

This is from a girl's viewpoint. I was 17 when I first heard "Landslide". I loved it, it still is my favorite Fleetwood Mac Song. I celebrated it at that time in my life, even though I was in the middle of finding my way...things were exciting. But it flashed through my mind for just a second, what would my feelings be like 20 years later, I felt a little sorry for that 37-year-old me. But, the moment passed quickly as I couldn't imagine being 37. Skip forward to1995, it went so quickly, (20 years-amazing). Someone did a cover of it that my 15-year-old daughter loved. When I heard it, I told her how much I loved it and that magical Stevie Nicks sang it originally. I played it for her, and she loved it too. And then I told her, this speaks to you in one way now, but in 20 years it will be a wholly different vibe for you. It was amazing, but she remembered that and when she was in her 30's, she said, "You're right Mom, I just heard Landslide and it is a very different thing now. It was great that she remembered, but it was bitter-sweet for me when she found out what I meant. The pay off is worth it even so. We both love it and we love Fleetwood Mac.

Harri, their "Silver Springs" is a must from the 1997 concert 'The Dance'. The tension between Stevie and Lindsey is palpable!!

She wrote Landslide in Colorado. Lindsey had abandoned her there and their record label had dropped them before they were to release their second Buckingham/Nicks album. Stevie was doing a lot of soul searching in this song whether to continue her dream of making it in the music industry or just getting a job. A few months later Mick Fleetwood happened to be at the same studio and heard Lindsey playing guitar, and well the rest, you know...

Beautiful song. Stevie's voice is so captivating. I felt like the song meant she was maturing quicker than him and wanted different things, so she was moving on. Great reaction Harri. Love how you've been running the songs at the end. 👍 Nice choice Cosmo. I been waiting for Paul McCartney since February 1964. So good luck with Stevie. Lol Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

This song is about a father-daughter relationship. Stevie Nicks wrote it on the guitar in about five minutes in Aspen, Colorado. She was surrounded by mountains and thinking, "Wow, all this snow could just come tumbling down around me and there is nothing I can do about it." When she feels like this she just goes to a room and writes her thoughts down so she can read it and ponder what she has written. Nicks said of this song: "My dad did have something to do with it, but he absolutely thinks that he was the whole complete reason it was ever written. I guess it was about September 1974, I was home at my dad and Mom's house in Phoenix, and my father said, 'You know, you really put a lot of time into this [her singing career], maybe you should give this six more months, and if you want to go back to school, we'll pay for it. Basically you can do whatever you want and we'll pay for it - I have wonderful parents, and I went, 'cool, I can do that.' Lindsey and I went up to Aspen, and we went to somebody's incredible house, and they had a piano, and I had my guitar with me, and I went into their living room, looking out over the incredible Aspen skyway, and I wrote 'Landslide.' Three months later, Mick Fleetwood called. On New Year's Eve, 1974, called and asked us to join Fleetwood Mac. So it was three months, I still had three more months to go to beat my six month goal that my dad gave me." peace out.

Cosmo, I know what you mean about this album, except that it was my husband who imagined Stevie Nicks singing to him! It’s just such a masterpiece and is one of those albums that you can listen to over and over. Great selection and, as always, Harri does it justice with his insights. 🌺✌️

Great song great singer songwriter! Love Stevie and Fleetwood Mac!

Imagine handing these lyrics to your ex-lover and telling him she needs the music for these words, and oh yeah those words are about you!

You're probably right about her life. All I can say is that her voice is spectacular as well as the acoustic guitar, beautiful.

One of their very best and one of my favorite tunes.

one of those songs that brings a tear to my eye every time i hear it. between stevie's sweet vocals and the acoustic guitar it grabs your heart and won't let go

Watch Never Going Back live by Stevie and Lindsey. Magical

I think the most beautiful songs have a lot of pain in them -- and this is one of them .... :-)

Stevie Nicks has one of the greatest voices and so recognizable. Another great one Cosmo.☮️

Landslide is regarded as one of the best.

I've seen Stevie perform this song twice live, once with Don Henley in concert. A very special show from a legendary iconic voice.

Oh what a voice! Such a gift.

Have a beautiful one for you... Wedding song (there is love) Peter Paul and Mary.

This is probably her best song, very personal and introspective. Her voice is suited to this song although I prefer Christine McVie's voice on the Fleetwood Mac albums generally.

Another Great pick Brother Cosmo. Stevie has a great raw voice that screams rock and roll. Harri a fantastic reaction. 👍🙃🔥🕊️🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧🤴

Fleetwood Macs guitarist Peter Green quit and they heard Lindsey Buckingham was available but were warned that he comes with his girlfriend Stevie Nicks they said ok and the rest is history. They went from a blues rock to lyric rock band

One of Fleetwood Mac's best songs! Thanks Cosmo, don't feel alone, I thought Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits was singing to me 🙂 My first crush on a musician and that was many decades ago!! Thanks again Harri my dear friend for the reaction🙂💫✌

Stevie wrote the song about her relationship with Lindsey Buckingham AND her father (who was an executive with The Greyhound Bus Company and moved around a lot -- she spent her teen years in the Bay Area where she met Lindsey in high school). It was 1974, she was living in Aspen and Lindsey was on tour as Don Everly's guitarist. This was before they joined Fleetwood Mac and being apart from Lindsey was making her doubt the longevity of their relationship. It's never been confirmed by either but Lindsey "strayed" a lot. What a maroon, as Bugs Bunny would say.

Beautiful song, have a listen to them doing it live, stunning.

This song is an American classic.

"I built my life around you". - Who wouldn't want to be the centre of her world?

Stevie Nix has such a beautiful and iconic voice.

Sorry, the live version of this song is better. You need to listen to her and Tom Petty singing Landslide again live version.

I visit this song differently than I did in the 70's.

Well, her incredible voice and her beauty kind of bowls you over, especially if your a young male such as I was! Try what I believe is her first record: Buckingham/Nicks

I saw them in '84, on the Mirage tour. As Stevie neared the end of the song, Lindsey leaned in and kissed her cheek. ... Crowd went wild.

Guitar work is underrated. Lindsey Buckinghams guitar playing is so tasteful

I think he means you will fall for her magical voice, like the sirens calling odysseus

This defines the 70s for me. Had my two oldest kids then and then a nasty, nasty divorce. We all come out on top eventually I think. I hear this song and I see my now 40 something children running around outside.

You should do the live version of this it brings so much more to an already great song. Also silver Springs live from Fleetwood Mac is similarly haunting and beautiful

It was a time when they were still unknown, and Stevie was tired of being poor, and was wondering if it will all ever change. Clearly it did!

I’d read that it was inspired by all of what ppl have written below. Deeply moving. 💔

There is a PBS production where she sings this to Lindsey Buckingham years after they had broken up and Fleetwood Mac reunited including Christie McVee . It makes so much more sense because the story of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie and Lindsey is poignant after their breakup pretty much destroyed the group. She sings the song to him. He kisses her on stage and everyone is highly touched by the moment. I hope you can find the video on You Tube. I think it was in the early 2000’s but amazing rendition live.

Life can be and is a Landslide, Harri. That’s what this song is about.

Thank you

Stevie Nicks and Don Henley are great together too, with the song "Leather And Lace", and Stevie Nicks with Tom Petty, "Stop Dragging My Heart Around"

I've been watching your videos for a while and I can see you're a true lover of music as I am. And not just a certain kind of music but music in general. I've loved watching your reactions as I can see you truly connect with the music, the word's and the message. I don't know if you've ever heard of Dimash? But as a lover of music you will not regret doing a reaction to Dimash and the first song I'm going to suggest is ( sos ) at Slavic bizarre. This is a whole other level of music, talent, performance. Then anything you've ever heard or seen. There's nothing to compare him to! He has changed the way Iook at music all together. And I would hate for anyone to miss out on hearing the possibilities of a God given voice that is truly from another planet! I love the music you've reacted to and your reaction! Listen to Dimash, sos Slavic bizarre. I believe you will be blessed by seeing such talent.

oh gosh, please do Silver Springs (the official live video from 1997) - gorgeous, beautiful and aggressive and the connection between Stevie and Lindsey is insane

Check out their performance of this song on the live concert "The Dance"

Stevie and the guitar player Lindsey Buckingham are well known for passionate and troubled love affair, many of the songs on this album, reflect their relationship. Lindsey : you gotta listen to "BIG LOVE aka "Lookin' Out for LOVE"....amazing... and includes a guitar solo.

This song plays into many different phases of life. Anytime there is something perfect but you know it will change. For better or worse? Who knows? Change is sad. Change is scary.

I remember reading an article about Stevie Nix's addiction to benzodiazepine medications, like Klonipin, Zanax, or barbiturates. The Great news is that her struggle gave her victory & she was able to kick her addiction, which is fantastic. Her voice is truly beautiful. It's always so sad to see young people struggling with addiction issues. Many of our greatest musical legends became addicted to many different substances. I'm sure fame & millionaire status have their disadvantages, especially sudden or overnight fame.

She's over him after the pain, the landslide will bring him down. Listen the the entire record.

There is another great KZfaq channel called Professor of Rock he does interviews and stories about great songs and bands. He explained this song quite well. I believe you and a lot of your followers would like his channel it is in no way competition he is not a reactor.

You should listen to the Demo. It will give you chills

Growing up in the 60s and 70s, all males had a crush on Stevie! ❤❤😂

My favorite off of the "Rumors" album was "Don't Stop"

And how about Lindsey's guitar work? One guitar and player Harri.

The Dixie Chicks also did a beautiful remake of this song. This song was written by Stevie in Aspen, CO about Lindsay Buckingham her guitarist and boyfriend. She later flew to Los Angeles back home and finished the song. This song was her dad’s favorite song of hers.

stevie wrote this before joining fleetwood mac, when she was questioning her relationship with lindsey. he had taken a gig in colorado (aspen, i think) and she went with him. they got into a HUGE arguement and he took off, leaving her with no means back to cali, where they were based. she ended up asking her parents for money to go back, which they gave her, but she wrote this truly reflecting if she should stay in the relationship, that life, after that. of course she did and history and a great song was made. the live version from FM's concert from '97 is also an emotional wringer, if you'd like a slightly sager-with-a-bit-more-aged-wisdom feel. it's gorgeous and makes me cry every time ❤

Cosmo...Took my girl to see Fleetwood Mac here in Austin back in February of '19. Great show but I was missing Lindsey Buckingham who had been fired from the band. Neil Finn - formerly of Crowded House - stepped in for Buckingham on that tour and played acoustic guitar when he and Nicks performed Landslide. Sweet selection and my girl's favorite!

Rolling Stones- Thru and thru, please react kind sir

Excellent; she was Facing.The Ageing Massacre! Maybe? Maybe Not?

Treat yourself to the live version with Lindsay.

🐐 🐐 🐐

Harri.... Bob Dylan - "It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding". With lyrics Live. Not just a song, a lesson on life from one of the great masters.

Lyndsay Buckingham wrote the song about addiction to cocaine.

Cosmo was upset because he lost a big bet with his friends.

You don't understand that she is talking about herself. He is merely a moor and she is the ship sailing away. 'Time makes you bolder, even children get older and I'm getting older too.' She is realizing that their relationship is not enough. The landslide was happening to her....not him.

🤘 𝕡𝐫ｏ𝕄ｏ𝔰𝓶

I thought she wrote this for her father.

Not saying you're lying, but I cannot believe you haven't heard this!

Who's Cosmo? Sorry, but I don;t know what you're talking about.
