Fleetwood Mac - Landslide [Lyrics] 

If you’re reading this, I hope whatever’s hurting you atm heals sooner rather than later

this has to be one of the most moving songs ever. in tears

"We didn't even realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun." -Winnie the Pooh

"Well, I've been fraid of changin cause I built my life around you." line always makes me cry

Honestly, I'm afraid of this song, because it is one of the most "honest," songs that describes life in general. It helps me to let go of my youth, and that is hard for me. I'm getting older, I'm not how I once was, that's life, and I have to accept that.😔

She wrote this song for her dad. How wonderful would it of been to have a dad you loved so much and that loved you back. I think the heartbreak of loss would be bitter but having nothing to lose is so empty

Life won't be as good and that's okay with me. Rest in peace, mom and dad.

Every time I hear this song, I think of my dad. He was my rock, and I never imagined my life without him in it. Now, nearly 20 years after he passed away, I believe he still guides me in my life. ❤

When this song makes perfect sense to you, you're finally an adult.

25 years with this man. This was our song in the middle after 4 kids, 3 with special needs. We're still here. We raised them well. We're all still here changing daily helping them be adults. We'll always be here for them and each other.

Thank you, Mom, for all the sacrifices you made to make my life better than what you had. All the wonderful Christmases, Thanksgivings, and Halloweens. For buying me a stereo in high school so I could listen to all my records and 8-tracks. And for offering to stay home from work on my first day of high school. You are/were such genuinely good people.

This will always be a reminder that life is fragile and short. When it comes to children, they are a reminder you are getting older and life will move on without you. When the part that says "children getting older" it makes an impact, makes you think about life more which is why so many people resonate with this song 5 decades later.

This song taught me that nothing is permanent, as much as we want it to be , in the end when we’ve died and passed on , the remenants of us will be washed away . That’s why it’s so important to live in the moment .❤

I'm 48 years old was paralyzed 5 years ago and now was diagnosed with cancer. The landslide didn't bring me down yet I'm still going.😂

This song makes me tear up when I think of all the changes I've been ushered through.

For me this song never really hit until this year. I've struggled with depression and suicidal ideation since I was a child and this year I had TMS and an epiphany that rid me of the suicidal ideation, but not the depression. Now I'm struggling to figure out how to live with the knowledge that consequences of what I do or don't do are inevitable and inescapable. I'm struggling to learn how to live the life I now understand I'm 'stuck' with, after decades of sleeping through it with one eye open and on the exit. I'm struggling with the understanding that I am, actually, going to age, deteriorate, suffer countless new sufferings, and eventually die not on my own terms but incidentally. I was never really "afraid of changing" because I didn't feel like I could, but now that I've finally changed I'm terrified. I have "built my life around" this mental illness. And all these awful realizations feel like a "landslide." If you read through all this thank you, it means a lot. I'm feeling very alone and afraid but these feelings are temporary as are they all. I will "sail through the changing ocean tides" and I will find a way to "handle the seasons of my life." We all will with time.

My mother just passed away today, I'm 26 and she was only 57. She loved Fleetwood mac as well as I do.

This song has always reduced me to a crying, blubbering mess.... But since my son passed away, it breaks me.

This is absolutely one of the most beautiful songs ever made it just puts you in a different place

One of the greatest songs ever written.

I dont have a tear in my eye. I have eyes in my tears ....

I think this is absolutely one of the top five most beautiful songs ever.

I first heard this song when I was about 9 years old. My daughter is now 11. Definitely getting older too.

This song breaks my heart. It reminds me of a happy part of my life, that has long since passed. It reminds me of the great memories of my childhood

I fell in love with this song 6months before my dad passed away. I could feel that a big wave of sorrow was coming my way & I would cry when I listened to it. But at that time I didn’t know she dedicated this song to her dad & at the time I didn’t know this song was preparing me for losing mine

I hear this an my mom comes to mind with a tear in my eye.

I’m now realizing that I’m getting older

I watched my daughter try to stand up yesterday. I’m closer to 30 than 20 now. I’m a young man, but I know what’s coming. This song cuts deep, at any age…

My mama passed in 2018 unexpectedly. I remember a week before she left, we were in the car debating (as always, lol)..what was the best Fleetwood Mac song. I said, "Dreams", and she said, "Landslide". Mama, you win this one. This is the best. I miss you so much. I lost my best friend, my ace, my travel buddy, therapist, my everything. I know you were in pain and tired. That is the only thing that comforts me, is you're now at rest. Pain free, worry free, and just...Free🕊. Fly high baby. Love u mama, forever and always. I know we'll see each other again. We can finally go on that trip to Jamaica so u can get your groove back. 😂 Miss u much Lene. 💙🤍💜🕊😇

my grandma passed away on february 8th 2023. this is the last song we listened to together before she left. now i hear it on the radio so often and i know it’s her ❤️

This is the 1st song I remember hearing from them and love it.

I'm sorry, Mom, for anything I did that caused you pain or suffering or worry. I'm sorry that you were my punching bag for all my emotions and insecurities.

10 years ago this played in a bar where my mom bought me for my first drink at 21. This year at 31 she passed away and this song played in my head so much. Now I hear it its time to cry. Life is so short and so precious damn

I lost my great grandfather last month, he was my best friend and father figure. This song literally makes me cry realizing now all I have is memories and life is changing way to fast and I don’t know how to deal with everything. I’m only 14, life is hard and people keep saying it gets harder...

I have my tissues always on hand when I revisit this gem of a song. Throughout my formative years and into middle age this song has rung as true now as it did then.

Always makes me cry 😢 back here came up in my memories today . September 2024 ... Life ✨ ❤ you all xx

Anyone here in 2024

I remember 10 years ago when I first moved out at 19 - I kept listening to this song because it was hard for me to grow up and be on my own (it was hard on my parents too because I was their baby). I was growing up and starting my life by moving out and going to college. And now 10 years later this song still relates because I’m a mother to 2 sons and I’ve grown up so much since and I’m going through a new obstacle of watching my kids grow and I’m getting old, plus my parents are getting old. It’s bitter sweet...

priceless lyrics and melody by the great Fleetwood Mac band. Stevie Nick's voice just melts the snow in your memory bank....

Listening too this song with my little girl right now and I'm so incredibly proud of her so strong like her grandpa God bless his soul❤️

I lost my dad when I was only a year and a half old. I don't have one memory, but I remember my mom listening to this all the time when I was a kid. " Well Ive been afraid of changing, cuz Ive built my life around you" was what she used to sing the loudest.

"But time makes you bolder even children get older" hits hard❤

For some reason this song makes me cry. It’s a beautiful song and Stevie Nicks was the perfect person to sing it.

Can you truly listen to this song without crying?

As long as you hold someone in your heart you can never lose them....Ever

This song hits so different the older I get.. ❤/💔

I love this song in Jack Frost. It makes me cry everytime.

It's an absolutely timeless song and voice! It's hard to believe this was released 1975, 48 years ago!😢 To all those amazing days we thought would last forever!❤

This is by far the best rendition of “Landslide” I’ve ever heard. I get childhood nostalgia feels with this soulful melody🎵🎶

South Park using this in "you're getting old" is the epitome of bittersweet artistic moments

Fleetwood Mac are Arguably the most important band of the 1970s....

Don't forget ever, to make memories... Towards the end, they bring you comfort and a Mona Lisa smile..

This song helped me become an adult. I listen to it whenever I have trouble letting go. I love it.

BEAUTIFUL SONG this song will go threw time! Stevie Nick's will go down in history....sings with alot of soul!

This song always helps me to reflect on my past. How much I miss, how much I’ve grown, and how can life get better

POV: You take a last look on your room, your empty room. Your entire room filled with memories was cleaned in one day, all gone. All u can see is an empty room. Your mum calls your name downstairs tells u its time to go, you responded and take a final look at your room and close the door. You go downstairs and get in to your car. When you hear the engine starts you look at your house one last time as your dad back up the car and head to the road. Your mum tells you its a long drive.

This was my mother's song. 25 years of horrendous domestic abuse by my father. "Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides? " "Can I handle the seasons of my life? Mhmm.. I don't know... " "Well I've been afraid of changin' cuz I built my life around you, but time makes you bolder even children get older and I'm getting older too... " She couldn't do it anymore, she had no identity but "John's wife". Even children get older, her hell on earth became worse when her children got older. We grew up, we left the home and he was alone with her, and and she was alone with him. (Oh trust me... I dropped out of college, I was always the adult child, I rescued her or tried to time and time again, but there are just temporary or just Band-Aids. She didn't work, got pregnant in high school, married him, he had all the power and control and was in charge of everything. She didn't think for herself, she didn't cook for herself, she didn't dress for herself, she didn't get to live her own life. A prisoner, beat down). And like the song goes and "I'm getting older too." She filed for divorce. She tried to break free. She lived in a women's shelter. She filed for Social Security disability. Elaine was the first person in the state of Utah to sue the Social Security administration all the way to the Supreme Court. At this time, my mom was homeless and living in her car in a parking lot. Her car didn't run but she didn't have gas or anywhere to go so it didn't matter it was shelter. I broke free too and was living my life, finally in California. She didn't call very much those days, I didn't know she was living in her car. For most people who file for disability, they have a support system they have a spouse and they have a job or financial means our family or friends to lean on or to live with while waiting for a disability, that wasn't the case for my mother. The Social Security administration ask for, yet another continuance. They claimed that her file must have been sent back to Washington and they're having trouble finding it because it's misplaced so they need time to find her file, to find the case. September 13th 1994 My mom age 50. And me, age 24. When the judge granted Social Security administration disability the continuance, my mom could no longer continue living on this Earth. I got the phone call while at work, booked a flight, flew to Utah, rented a car, drove myself to the morgue, identified her body, sign the death certificate, self inflicted wound to the head. I paid $100 in the state of Utah cremated her, have you had me a small white shoe box, ashes still warm. "Oh-oh take my love and take it down." "And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills well the Landslide bring it down." MOM, I LOVE YOU! I drove up Provo Canyon, my mom sitting next to me in the passenger seat buckled in her white little shoe box. And it began to rain. I yelled at the heavens, threw my arms in the air, I looked up to the sky, to God and yelled at him and desperation, "God help me! Show me a sign! I don't know where to stop, God I need you show me a sign now!" And at that very moment I looked straight ahead through the windshield, and braked! What stood before me, in the middle of the highway, was a mommy deer stuck in my headlights, trying to get her little doe safely across the road. I swear I had a connection with that deer, she looked at me and said cried out, "God help me, help me protect this little one." Clearly I had my sign. Her perfect resting place, A mother and her child. What could be more fitting? I pulled to the side of the road, I had stopped at a 7-Eleven before heading up the canyon and purchased my first pack of cigarettes, Marlboro lights for my mom. Of course I didn't think to get a lighter so thank God the car lighter worked and let her have her last drag. With "Mom" in tow, and my boombox with the Fleetwood Mac Landslide cassette tape, I hiked up the Wasatch mountain and came upon a tiny little pine tree. I played her song, Landslide and sprinkled some of her ashes on the baby tree in the sprinkling rain. When the song was over, once again, I looked up to the heavens, but this time it was to thank God. AND what to my wondering eyes should appear? But a double rainbow, of course. I was 24 years old, broke, just getting started in the world. There was no life insurance, retirement, savings. No funeral, flowers, memorial, urn. While at the airport was waiting to board my plane, I found a metal tin that had mints in it, "TESTA - MINTS", Christian mints, cross, dove, scripture on individual wrappers. The metal tin was purple, my favorite color. I used to ask my mom what her favorite color was, her favorite food, she honestly didn't know, she didn't have time to know things like that, but she did recall she loved pansies since she was a little girl because of their smiling faces. The purple, Christian Mint tin had a butterfly 🦋 on it. That last year, I remember my mom saying she loved butterflies. At 50 years old, discovering and seeing the world through a child's eyes, for her it was the first time. "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal." - John Muir and / or -Thomas Moore. My mom also told me she would have to say her favorite flower was a Pansy, because it had a smiling face. Pansy is derived by the French word pensee, "thought." 15th century regarded as a symbol of remembrance. Rest in peace Elaine 💕 I am her daughter, 50 years old, awaiting social security disability determination on my appeal...

It's been a crazy twelve years, but it's finally the end of Walking Dead. Thank you, AMC for making such an awesome show!

"If you set your goals ridiculously high and it's a failure, you will fail above everyone else's success." -James Cameron

My mom sang this all the time while I was growing up and now I'm crying listening to it

Rest in peace....singing this out for you and everyone else. this ssong changed lives I hope you and everyone else finds peace in this life and the after...thank you for everything

This song makes me reflect on my 31 years of life.

The older you get the more you hate this song but the more you think about it and the more you relate to it. You younger people still in your teens and twenties will understand in a couple of decades. That's going to happen fast. You live a good life. Don't waste it.

This is one of those songs that always seem to get more and more relevant as I get older and watch everything changing around me.

this is one of the most beautiful songs of all time

Many tears. Thinking of all of the loved ones that I’ve lost, whether that may be in passing or just drifting apart. Family and friends...and the feeling of time passing so quickly. I’m nostalgic for the past :(

One of my all time favorite love ballads ever!!!Amen! This song never fails to bring a tear or two to my eyes!!So simple and yet so beautiful and meaningful a song!!!!!

I played this song to the man I loved, adored and who could never love me back in the way i deserved. I played it whilst changing our newborn baby's nappy as I realised this was the end of the dream. And that I had to leave him because he didnt love me.

I love this song. And reminds me of the loved ones l lost and all the changes my life has gone through,now in my 60's have traveled a long road. Now my road is getting shorter.

I’m 41 and this song is the sum of my life. 😢. Definitely one of the greatest songs ever written

"I'm glad it was you in the end." - Rosita Espinosa

Love you Dad. Fly high above the mountains.

This song speaks to me everytime I listen to it, never fails

What an amazing song!!!!! So describes me & my husband!!!! Goose bumps & tears every time I here it!!!!! 🥰

I love this song so much it's so beautiful

This song just describes me so much, i absolutely loooove this, the voice, the words, I'm going through this phase and been doing it for such a long time, it's such a emotional song, filling with tears just writing this comment, we've all just got to be strong, there are so many scenarios in life that we have to face and it's hard, people or things will hurt us but we have to believe in hope and that things will change, love to all you people out there going through this ❤️🙏

Hit me in the feels. What is my life.

I'm using my husband's account to write this when I hear this song I think of my mom she passed away 4 years ago from Cancer, I'm 36, she loved Fleetwood Mac sometimes I look at old pictures of me and my siblings growing up and cry were all grown now. RIP mom love and miss you gone but not forgotten 😢

R.I.P Cristine McVie. May God rest your soul.

This song brings me to tears because I can relate to it so much

gorgeous. reminds me of when i was a little girl in the backseat of my car during very difficult times in my life. i cry everytime i hear this. thank you💋

Fleetwood macs voice is just so sweet!!! Even with a song with such a sad message it makes me happy and sad at the same time 💙

I want this song playing at my funeral 🙄☺

Such a beautiful voice Makes me cry

This is the best song ever written by far❤

Can I handle the season's of my life. Always hits me. And thinking if I made the right decisions in my life.

When I hear her singing I imagine God listening and wondering where she came from... Young Stevie N. and Elton J. Voices are so unique and exotic yet so natural and warm. Hands Down one of the best songwriters, performer and singer of the Century.

One of my favorite songs ❤

“And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.”

This song reminds me of my mom and makes me tear up. Now that mom doesn’t always remember who I am it’s even more meaningful. I just want to be young again to save mom!❤️‍🩹😢

This song was uploaded on 16th June my birthday how ironic, the song was played at my 26 yr old daughters funeral last April. Every day is so hard dealing with losing my little girl

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

Love this song.. my favorite right now. And I love the photo from Iceland in the background. My home 🥰

this song means throwing away the facade of a human you’ve been because you’ve just been existing without actually living and healing your inner child that has been screaming for help all this time.

yep, i'm getting older, too

Everyone on this page deserves mercy and love 😌

Always loved Fleetwood Mac but the walking dead finale has brought me even closer to them 🥹🥹❤️💔

My husband who died used to sing and play this on guitar for me... Come here everytime i need a good cry...

Music has an epic way of reaching so many; from all walks of life! 🥰

Has so many meanings to everyone, it’s so beautiful, you are legends Fleetwood Mac, bless you, I’ll love this song forever 💕
