"'Landslide' is a song written by Stevie Nicks and performed by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. The song was first featured on the band's self-titled album 'Fleetwood Mac' (1975). The original recording also appears on the compilation albums '25 Years: The Chain' (1992) and 'The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac' (2002), while a live version was released as a single 23 years after the live reunion album, 'The Dance' (1997). 'Landslide' reached No. 51 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 10 on the Adult Contemporary chart. [It] was certified gold in October 2009, for sales of over 500,000 copies in the United States...
"In 2021, the song was listed at No. 163 on Rolling Stone's 'Top 500 Best Songs of All Time'.
"Nicks has said that she wrote the song while contemplating either going back to school or continuing on professionally with guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. Their album 'Buckingham Nicks' had been dropped by Polydor Records before they could release a follow-up. Nicks wrote the song while visiting Aspen, Colorado, sitting in someone's living room 'looking out at the Rocky Mountains, pondering the avalanche of everything that had come crashing down on us... [A]t that moment, my life truly felt like a landslide, in many ways.'"

lyrics
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?
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've 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 changin'
'Cause I've 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
Oh-oh, take my love, take it down
Oh-oh, climb a mountain and you turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide bring it down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide bring it down
Oh-ohh, the landslide bring it down
