You can see Lindsey nearly break down emotionally at the end of the song when Stevie slows it down and looks at him. All the history between them coming to the surface at that moment.
Well, her Father was instrumental in her writing the song, because he's the one who encouraged her to stay true to her goal of she and Lindsey becoming successful singer-songwriters. Her Dad telling her to "not give up", is what inspired her to sit and write the song on her acoustic guitar, alone in Colorado, looking at the snow-covered mountains. (Her Dad always considered the song to be related to him, that's why she dedicated it to him, in 1997.) She also wrote, "Rhiannon" within that same week, in 1974, just months before Mick Fleetwood asked Lindsey and her to join Fleetwood Mac.
She's singing about her broken relationship with Lindsey the guitarist next to her who she looked up to. She dedicated the song to her father. Look at Lindsey's reaction at the end.
Stevie Nicks could teach classes on literature. Her lyrics are filled with such beautiful metaphors or symbolism. She’s just brilliant, there’s no one else like her.
As a Scotsman I have listened to this band since I was 15 years old in all the songs I have enjoyed this makes me cry the most..i have asked my my beloved wife to play this as my funeral song
Back in the day "daddy" was a term for your man. So she was singing to her ex Lindsay Buckingham, the guy playing on the guitar. The band had all sorts of relationship drama through the years.
Nope. When he heard it, her father thought she wrote it about him, even though she didn’t, but she didn’t want to hurt his feelings so she dedicated it to him, even though it was about Lindsey, who was definitely not her “daddy.”
Stevie and Lindsey were together when they were teen's and as year's went by their relationship changed and both got really hurt , and as today they still have the love for each other just can't be together
A song about the changes and challenges of life, Nicks wrote “Landslide” in 1974 in Aspen's snow country, while her then-boyfriend Buckingham was on tour with Don Everly.
She dedicated to her dad but the song was about her relationship with her Ex the guy playing the guitar. Side note I really like the Dixie Chicks cover of it
Great review. Those two were in a relationship for many years and fell apart during the recording of Rumours, the 8th best selling album of all time, any genre. Most of its songs speak about what they were going through. The 1997 live version of "Silver Springs" is a great song that isn't reacted to much.
Fun Fact. Stevie Nicks was visiting my home state of Maryland. She was driving on our interstate- Rt. 495 - & saw the exit sign for a city called " Silver Spring". She said she loved the beautiful name and used it for her song.
My dad was madly in love with Stevie. I can actually say, it was because of him that I know and love her. He's no longer with me anymore, but everytime I hear or see Stevie, I know he's watching over me. Thanks for another great reaction video, my friend ❤
One of the greatest singers and one of the greatest songs ever! I wish her and Lindsey were still a couple. Great stage presence, he's a great singer. Had a big hit in 81 I'm in Trouble. Did u react to Rhiannon in 76 on Midnight Special? It was, phenomenal! She was on 🔥🔥 FIRE. Showed her rock star side. Definitely Fleetwood Mac is one of the greatest bands ever. Stevie was inducted twice into the Hall of Fame once with them the other as a solo artist. Big fan of hers!
The woman singing Stevie Nicks also has a very successful solo music career. With hits like The Edge of Seventeen, Stop Dragging My Heart Around and Stand Back.
Love love her voice. Also Lindsey Buckingham is a fantastic guitar singer. Truly a timeless song! He had a huge hit. IM IN TROUBLE in 81. Great. They also did a duet or so together. I suggest checking out I'm in Trouble. Good day
The BEST thing about so many of the various RU-vid reactions is seeing the joy so many younger folks feel hearing these songs for the 1st time...to quote the great Mr Scott on Star Trek..you only fall in love the 1st time once...you never feel quite the same when it happens again
A little historical context.. Buckingham/Nicks we’re a duo in Phoenix, AZ who played the local clubs and had an album.. Fleetwood Mac was playing there when Bob Welch and others left the band.. that left a fractured band and Mick Fleetwood invited them to join Fleetwood Mac.. this was the 3rd incarnation of the band.
Best version ever, maybe because of her father is sitting in the audience. Stevie and Lindsay were always at war since the break up, often on stage too but here they are just like back in the seventies - in harmony. Thanks Jayy🌷🌷🌷🌷
My favourite FM song off my favourite FM album. I see it so different at 59 than I did when I was 15...sigh...Thanks Jayy..great reaction as usual 🖖🏻🇨🇦
My favorite song I just lost my dad may 5th and now it just means so much more. I loved this song so much, now it’s my all time favorite because of my dad.
The song is written about lindsey buckingham the man who's playing the guitar next to her. Stevie dad love this song when she wrote this song in aspen co. Lindsey and stevie lived together for 6yrs before they join fleetwood mac.
Stevie Nicks is on record saying it was about her romance with guitarist Buckingham and their career struggles, as well as her relationship with her business-executive father.
When I first heard this song I was in junior high school. I thought it was nice, but it hit me very hard when I grew older myself and heard it again after I realized I am not young and invincible anymore.
hard to believe she's close to 70 in this video isn't it. Very deep thought for a 20 something year old back when she wrote it. Dad was her reference to Mick Fleetwood the drummer and man who started the group.
The song was written for her long time boyfriend next to her Lindsey Buckingham playing the guitar. She was telling him she'd changed and grown and was moving on. It was bitter between them for awhile. Lindsey wrote a great song called you can go your own way when they broke up. Stevie said it was torture everytime they sang it. Thanks and take care
This is mine and my father song. He died not long after it came out. Stevie wrote this song about her dad. Stevie is and always will be the queen. Period. No one does it better. Listen to Rhiannon live. Best ever.
It's a just a song about growing up. "Show them the way" is my favorite song right now. Just because it's her latest. Gotta love "insider" and "stop dragging my heart around" with Tom Petty.
You can literally pick any song she is credited as songwriter for to listen to and you will be blown away. Some songs that I'd recommend Jane I Sing For The Things Doing The Best I Can (Escape From Berlin) That's Alright (Fleetwood Mac)
i saw her in concert with my boyfriend in ct,she does a great concert.she is so much fun on stage//she is a different person now since she left fleetwood mac.she changed for the better..
She never really left Fleetwood Mac. She had her solo career, but the band would regroup and tour. Christine McVie did actually officially leave for a while, but she eventually returned.
Her dad passed in the 2000s. She dedicated it to her dad because she always dedicated that song to *somebody* at every concert. She decided that night to dedicate it to her father. The song was written about her and Lindsey losing their record deal after recording their first album together.
It’s a song about a relationship between a father and a daughter… But at the same time she absolutely wrote it for Lindsey Buckingham who was her lover and common-law husband in fact he was the one playing the guitar behind her in the video. Written in 1973.
Hi. Great reaction as usual. Please do Tattooed Love Boys by the Pretenders. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HjXnhT3jXM4.html Chrissie Hynde is another fierce female singer from the 80s.
It’s about not changing because you want a relationship to work only to see it unraveling years later. Looking in the mirror you realize all those years you can’t get back.
The story behind “Landslide” as told by Stevie Nicks: It was written in 1973 at a point where Lindsey [Buckingham] and I had driven to Aspen for him to rehearse for two weeks with Don Everly. Lindsey was going to take Phil’s place. So they rehearsed and left, and I made a choice to stay in Aspen. I figured I’d stay there and one of my girlfriends was there. We stayed there for almost three months while Lindsey was on the road, and this is right after the Buckingham Nicks record had been dropped. And it was horrifying to Lindsey and I because we had a taste of the big time, we recorded in a big studio, we met famous people, we made what we consider to be a brilliant record and nobody liked it (laughs). I had been a waitress and a cleaning lady, and I didn’t mind any of this. I was perfectly delighted to work and support us so that Lindsey could produce and work and fix our songs and make our music. But I had gotten to a point where it was like, “I’m not happy. I am tired. But I don’t know if we can do any better than this. If nobody likes this, then what are we going to do?” So during that two months I made a decision to continue. “Landslide” was the decision. [Sings] “When you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills”-it’s the only time in my life that I’ve lived in the snow. But looking up at those Rocky Mountains and going, “Okay, we can do it. I’m sure we can do it.” In one of my journal entries, it says, “I took Lindsey and said, We’re going to the top!” And that’s what we did. Within a year, Mick Fleetwood called us, and we were in Fleetwood Mac making $800 a week apiece (laughs). Washing $100 bills through the laundry. It was hysterical. It was like we were rich overnight.
Do a reaction to Fleetwood Mac’s live performance of Silver Springs from “The Dance” when she straight sings this song straight to her ex who cheated on her (guitarist lindsay buckingham) will give you chills.
This song was actually recorded 20 years earlier. This was just the live version. She dedicated to her Dad because out of all the songs she made, this was his favorite. It was written by her about the breakup with her ex, who by the way is playing the guitar for her. You can still see the feelings they still have for each, the way they kept looking at each other longingly, but just couldn’t make love work. But they have remained friends ever since.
The song is epically beautiful, it is about the break-up with the guy that you see playing the guitar, Lindsey Buckingham, her ex-husband, not boyfriend. Jay, I think you were looking for the word "vibrato", she has a very rapid vibrato, one of the things her voice is known for. What else is there about the song? Well Jay, let me put it in very simple terms; it's performed by Stevie Nicks (and written). If you want to know what every man is in love with and smitten by....you just saw it on your video, that's it!
