It's an intense and beautiful song brother. Always brings a tear. MORE touching in the context of her long, on/off relationship with Lindsey Buckingham. Here is a lovely performance of them together: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I4bWNjoteoQ.html
Don't feel embarrass this song touches the emotions of thousands of people who hear it or heard because it brings up the vulnerability and fragility humans feel in this world pain and loss......a broken relationship.....a death of a loved one......getting older and feeling closer to Death.......the fear of change because it is unknown to the newness that lies ahead....devolvement in life....the touches the glass menagerie we humans feel in life......so.....you are not the only one who has cried hearing this song!!!! Great reaction!!!
This is one of Stevie's finest performanes and I do love this song, but it also owes a lot to Lindsey Buckingham's exquisite guitar work - he is so underrated and no matter how fractious their relationship was, their work together was amazing!
Watch Kyrsty Adamson, daughter of Stuart Adamson (Big Country). Her cover of 'In a Big Country'. Her guitar sounds just like L.B. and her voice is incredible. She takes after her Da.
Lindsay under-rated? Pfff Stevie supported him financially for years before they joined Fleetwood Mac. Yes he is talented, but he put his talent above her aspirations and skills.
When lyrics mention building your life around someone and children getting older as well as yourself, it immediately causes one to reflect-and get emotional! It’s a beautiful song that stands the test of time for sure.
I've heard it thousands of time. One my personal top ten faves. But after recently having my life crumble after my partner entered a nursing home for dementia and cannot communicate. The line "I built my life around you. Brought tears for the first time. I think that's the thing about this song is it speaks so much to life that it can touch you in different ways at different times, it just comes from a place of honesty.
I have cried to this song for decades. It’s absolutely a tearjerker. You will cry to it all through your lifetime. Thanks. And like several said, do the live version, when they’re older, especially when you get older. It will resonate deeply, her matured worldliness, raspiness and richness.
I have a suggestion for you. It’s from the other female vocalist from Fleetwood Mac. It’s Songbird sung by Christine McVie and it’s absolutely gorgeous with the piano accompanying her beautiful voice
I most enthusiastically support this suggestion. It's a stunningly gorgeous song. As is Landslide. I always get a little teary-eyed when I listen to it.
This is such a timeless song that changes meaning for me through the years. From first hearing it as a child myself to decades later with my own child and now seeing him go out on his own…touches my ❤️ more and more ever year! Amazing artistry from the queen of rock and roll!
This song is one of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. I can’t go without crying each time I hear it. I would also listen to the live version of this. That version is the one I grew up with and plays on the radio all the time.
It's hard to describe perfection. This song makes u smile, cry,& ponder where u been & where ure going. It's like a rock line from the great 1 RP there's 2 paths u can go by but there's still time to change the road ure on.
One of the most beautiful, emotional and deep songs in the world... Every time I listen to it again it's like the first time, tears come without warning... Incredible song... Also The Smashing Pumpkins did a great cover!!!
Her voice is hypnotic isn't it? I can see the emotions in your face as you listen. I'm the same. Glad I was able to see them live in concert in the mid 80's.
Listening to this here with you hit me hard for some reason too, despite the fact I've heard it 100's of times. The fragility and temporary nature of life.
Life sucks out here. The condition of the world. I love these songs cause they take me back to a time when songs had such deep meanings. Made one think about life.
Hi Salvo. I just want to say that you are a genuine nice guy. I love your reaction videos. From the beginning of your Led Zeppelin journey to now, it’s been a pleasure.
As you said such beautiful lyrics and Stevie's delivery and the groups music make it even more powerful. The line that you reacted to, "even children get older and I'm getting older too" always struck me as very profound for such an obvious truth; it conveys to me the loss of childhood innocence which gets replaced by the sometimes harsh reality of adulthood (the landslide) and when we think about it hits home. You got to react to the live performance of this song just her and Lindsey Buckingham on acoustic guitar it is just sublime (make sure its the official music video version). Even Lindsey is moved to tears by her singing by the end of the song so your not the only one of us! Anyway thanks for another great and honest reaction.
Oh, this was such a tender song - when it first was released, I was broken up with a fellow and we were at the same party when this came over the radio. I felt the heartbreak, let it wash over me, and then moved on to be okay. Music is one of those things of the human condition that can make us laugh, weep, wonder, and find clarity.
Lindsay's playing on this is sublime. Stevie knows how to write songs that really mean something, her voice is just out of this world. The emotion is crazy. So glad you enjoy her.
This is a great song. Just noticed that you said, Landslide and Dreams by the Cranberries were the two songs that have brought you to tears. You must not have listened to Hurt, by Johnny Cash. Every time I listen to it I get a tear in my eye. Very powerful song, especially if you are looking back on your life and wondering about how people will remember you when you are gone.
i just lost it and got red eyed emotional watching and hearing this song again with you so many memories -saw her do it live in indianapolis once way back .... you always recognize the great ones THANK YOU
This song got me through when I ended my engagement. He was a wonderful person. We'd been together since we were very young and his parents were more parents to ne than my own. I loved him, but I knew we both had a lot of growing up to do, each on our own. It was probably the most momentous decision in my life. Stevie put it into words...
Fleetwood Mac is an incredible band! Some people listen to music and others hear it, feel it and connect with it. Since I can remember music has been very important to me. It’s nice to see when others can connect to music also. It can be very healing!
Wow! I haven't heard this song in years. Great reaction thank you. I've been talking to my husband about how our lives have many different seasons, and I feel my guardian angels just sent me a song on which to contemplate ❤️
You sort of owe it to yourself to watch a live performance, it was on PBS, when it is just she and Lindsey. Also, catch Big Love from the same show to see his guitar genius on full display.
I was 18 and graduated high school when this song came out. I had the album and then bought the 8 track tape so i could play it in my car. I had a 66 impala super sport. Lol its such a beautifully written song. 💞
Beautifully said, Salvo. We're all walking that same path. You're choosing great music but my favorite moments in your videos are when you tell us what moves you and how you feel. You're a good man and I wish you a rewarding life ahead.
One of the most beautiful songs by Fleetwood Mac. Review the song "Songbird" by them, its played and sung by the other female voice in the band. Hauntingly beautiful.
This song has always been a favorite of mine since I was a kid and it gets more and more poignant the older I get. It’s kind of perfect at capturing the essence of time and it’s effect on us. Rhythmic, relentless, circular. You’re born, you grow bolder and older and try to leave your mark on the world but eventually time sweeps it all away, no matter who you are. Great piece of music.
Stevie's a gifted songwriter, vocalist, musician. So glad she shared it with us all. It's a beautiful thing when a song hits someone. ❤ Lindsey's guitar picking...amazing. Have you done Christine McVie yet? "Oh Daddy" is timeless and not too popular.
Being in the last quarter of life, I can tell you there are a few songs that will get to you at this age. Like a Rock from Bob Seger does it too. Just the memory of how strong, good looking, and happy I USED to be. :( Also, Time from Pink Floyd.
There's an amazing live version of this from the Chain tour that takes it to another level Also, the Dixie Chicks and Smashing pumpkins do great covers of this
So I subscribed to your channel when I saw your reaction to Greta Van Fleet, Heat Above. I had said that I’d been waiting for a few decades for a band like them. Ive been watching reaction videos here on RU-vid because I love seeing young people discover some of the best music I grew up with and love so much. My step daughter is 22 now and we brought her up listening to all of this so when she meets kids her age that haven’t heard a band like Fleetwood Mac she loses it. “You haven’t heard them? What?” I’m going to keep watching your videos because my friend you have a lot to explore and I’m excited to watch your journey!
Thanks for this track salvo great choice beautiful song beautiful sung and beautifully accompanied by Linsey Buckingham on acoustic fantastic live and great chemistry between them both Rumours has to be up there with the best albums🎶
Honest reaction! Another song that hit me was Time Stands Still by Rush, There is a line about Days getting shorter nights getting colder and old friends growing older.... We can't predict what, when, or how a song affects us, but, be thankful it does!
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.
I really like that you do some research on the songs before you hear and react to them ... that sets you apart from so many of the other reaction videos.
I don't want to sound like an "old guy", but really... show me a mainstream song made recently that can hit you like this. I think music is in a sad state today: Autotune vs. real vocal talent, drum machines vs. real drumbeats, programming vs. playing, copying/sampling vs. creativity. Not to mention lyrics that are vapid, pandering, or just plain garbage. As a die-hard Rush fan (I know you've been impressed by some of their songs thus far), I have to suggest a couple of songs from their catalog that are lyrically deep: "Nobody's Hero", "Afterimage", "Resist", "Red Sector A", "Ghost Rider", "Everyday Glory", "The Larger Bowl". NOTE: please read the Wiki on the songs if you choose to do them. Knowing the back stories behind what The Professor (Neil Peart) was referencing is key to getting the "feel" of the songs. PS... I enjoy your reactions. Keep up the good work.
This seems like it should be higher on the 500 list. It's one of the most beautiful songs of all time. It also has many, many colorful covers. An old boyfriend of mine made me a CD of only covers of Landslide....punk, metal, etc.
It's crazy when you have to comment on a song a reaction but the song is so good that you just can't even fathom it that's what I saw in this video and I loved it
yuda man / thats what she does / @ sea, mid & late 70s, atlantic ocean &/or mediterranean/ newly invented walkman introduced us / that voice....yup...that voice 🕶
I heard "Rumours" at a friends when it 1st came out...as a young teen I went to buy the vinyl but couldn't remember the album name, just a vague idea of the cover design. So I ended up buying the earlier album with this tune on it. It's like spun glass, delicate and jewel like...I've listened to this tune ever since. I think "Rumours" is the better album....but not by much !
I can't recall the comic, but there was a joke that in the 70s, you opened the door & there was a copy of Rumors on your porch lol Such a beautiful song! I even like Smashing Pumpkins version, but in our hearts, it's forever Stevie!♥️✌
Oh man I wish you would have done Landslide Live from The Dance in 1997. That video is a must watch, her voice has matured and her live version when she interacts with Lindsey. I believe Landslide has been the biggest money maker song for FM as it has been recorded by so many other artists.
I had such a schoolboy crush on Stevie back then. Growing up on the seventies I went to school with cute hippie type girls and she just reminded me of them.
