Landslide was written by Stevie Nicks and reflects on her relationship with Lindsey Buckingham, her bandmate in Fleetwood Mac and partner in life. It was inspired by a moment of decision in her life, considering whether to go back to school or continue her musical career. The song was written while Nicks was in Aspen, Colorado.
I took my love and I took it down I climbed a mountain and I turned around And 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 through the changing ocean tides Can I handle the seasons of my li-i-i-i-i-i-i-ife
Mmm...
Well, I've been afraid of changing cause I Built my life around you But time makes you bolder, even children get older And I'm getting older too
Well, I've been afraid of changing cause I Built my life around you But time makes you bolder, even children get older And I'm getting older too Oh, I'm getting older too
Ah, ah, take my love, take it down Ah, ah, climb a mountain and turn around And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills Will the landslide bring you down? And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills...
Will the landslide bring you down? Oh, oh, the landslide bring you down?
