Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham wrote 'Landslide' while living in Aspen, Colorado in 1973
Landslide is a song written by Stevie Nicks and performed by her with Lindsey Buckingham on acoustic guitar for Fleetwood Mac 's self-titled 1975 album. Nicks wrote the song while visiting Aspen, Colorado at a time when considering whether to return to education or continue with music. Foxes and Fossils cover Landslide by Fleetwood Mac at The Twisted Taco 8-2-13.
The song, 'Landslide' is about her life in general at that time. Everything seemed to be coming down like a landslide. The Buckingham Nicks album had been dropped from Polydor. Stevie Nicks had gone back to being a waitress and a cleaning lady in order to pay the bills and allow Lindsey to work on their music. Stevie's parents told her that if she wanted to go back to school, they'd support her.
LANDSLIDE from FLEETWOOD MAC (Arranged for Seagull M4 Merlin Dulcimer Guitar and Strumstick) There is only 3 chords for that song. Play them in that order in loop until the end. You can either find 'Landslide' on 'The Dance' album or buy this single.Stevie Nick's coming of age/irony of age prose is breathtaking and it has to be one of the many Fleetwood Mac triumphs.The song structure works on so many levels-as a folk tune,ballad or a big orchestral type tune.And the lyrics are genuinely thought provoking.How fitting after years of being away from the scene this group. Fleetwood Mac contained three main songwriters: Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie. One of Stevie’s songs, Landslide, is a major favourite among fans and has gained legendary.
In the lyrics, climbing the mountain and snow-covered hills refers to the Rocky Mountains that she was able to see from the window of the house that she and Lindsey were living in. She was unsure about making a change in the direction her life was going.
'Time makes you bolder, even children get older, I'm getting older too' is an important part of the song. Stevie is realizing that she is getting older and that if her musical career doesn't work out soon, she will have to make a change. Part of her struggle is that she isn't sure how much longer she should wait before deciding that she has to move on. Within a year's time, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks had joined Fleetwood Mac and were on their way to musical success.

I took my love, I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Til 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 changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
