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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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 ❤
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.”
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.
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.
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.
The BEST thing about so many of the various TH-cam 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
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.
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
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.
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 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
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 🖖🏻🇨🇦
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🌷🌷🌷🌷
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
❤
I never noticed his reaction before. Thank you for pointing that out.
Wrong. She told him to be more involved. For the fans.
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.
It was dedicated to her father, not written about him. It’s more about her ex boyfriend playing guitar.
EX HUSBAND
@@mh-ve9nv they never married. She only married once to Kim Anderson!
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.

@@p.j.d.8199 nope
@@anthonyyoutubefan7567 That's fascinating insight. Thanks for sharing. One of the most beautiful and unique voices OF ALL TIME!

Drama Queen.
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
Chk out they're Silver Springs live you can feel the emotions from Stevie and Lindsey
True unadulterated talent! Most of the artists of today could never do the same without auto tune.
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.
I had forgotten about Lindsay getting emotional towards the end....that got me
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
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 ❤
Hey sis! Try Gold Dust Woman, it's such a beautiful song!
Fleetwood Mac has a tragic history but it made for unbelievable music that is timeless.
One of the most underrated song writers of all time too. On top of her great voice.
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.”
And Stevie Nicks was a drama queen.
There are only about 10% of all men over the age of 50 that weren’t in love with Stevie at one time or another
You are absolutely correct...
I was one of them
I don’t trust this statistic at all. Maybe they didn’t admit it but I’m a chick born in 1989 and she could be my wife. So home girl is batting 100
You got that right as I was in love with her too.
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
It is a nice version too. Their harmonizing is beautiful.
Ummmm. They are just called 'The Chicks' now. 'Dixie Chicks' is a problematic name.
I absolutely love stevie nicks, especially her solo songs!!! AMAZING woman!!
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.

The icon. The great one. The untouchable. The goddess. Stevie!!
The Amazing Stevie Nicks
It’s actually about Lindsey Buckingham, the guy playing the guitar next to her (ex boyfriend)
Nope.
4:33 see that look he gave her? He knew she was killin it...
And him...
She has always been amazing. Still is.
That's my girl Stevie...her lyrics aren't always easy to decipher...
Gold Dust Woman and Dreams are two more great Fleetwood Mac songs and Stevie Nicks solo Edge Of Seventeen.
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘😁✌🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Such an Iconic song covered repeatedly!!!!! Nobody does it quite like Stevie though!!!! A Goddess!!!!! 😉💯
So glad you decided to get into Fleetwood Mac. Fleetwood Mac Dreams is also a must.
More about Lindsay Buckingham the talented boyfriend and their turbulent relationship!
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.
Stevie Nick's has one of those voices that when she opens her mouth and you know who's singing 😊😊❤❤

The relationships that were falling apart in the band sure did produce some amazing music.
You should definitely listen to 'Silver Spring' from the same live show. It always makes me cry.
I love the way you interpret. That's what reactions are all about. Great job.
It's all about what an amazing talent she is
One of my favorite songs and artists EVER.
Like The Chain this song is about a relationship going South and how much it hurts. The lyrics are ingenious.
Landslide is one of those songs that makes me emotional every single time I listen to it. A beautiful song.
Excellent! Yes she was very close to her dad who passed . That’s why she says that this is for daddy
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.
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, beautiful
This song always makes me emotional.
Me too
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.

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 🖖🏻🇨🇦
Must have been hard to sing this to each other knowing the history behind their relationship.
When my youngest son was about 5 years old, he’s 21 now, he would sing his heart out when this song came on.
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🌷🌷🌷🌷
i saw your Platters Only You, must see Bobby Hatfield sing Only You
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.
Beautiful song!
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.
a bit of a "vocal fry" singing voice, yet it's still beautiful.
Most unique voice ever
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.
Gotta give Stop Dragging My Heart Around her duet with Tom Petty a listen. Another classic.
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.
Remember when they was on the radio all the time.
My favorite from the Buckingham/Nicks genre.
i wonder if she ever thought of doing an album of lullabies . i can see her voice putting babies to sleep
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..

Everyone who did landslide did awesome.
It's not about her dad....she just dedicated to him on that particular night.
get a box of tissues, this song hits deep
Love her!
Do not miss her duet
“Leather And Lace”
Stevie nicks edge of seventeen is a must
Good stuff right there stevie Nick's is one the greats💞💞
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)
Check out Candlebox: Far behind with lyrics
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.
In 2019 Nick's became the first woman to enter the Rock and Hall of Fame twice, this time as an individual.
This song has always made me cry ever since I was 16 when the song came out😪
Change is good, but sometimes it's really hard. Like when you have to let somebody go.

Loved it.
stevie nicks was my celebrity crush in jr high
She love that man, she knew he loved her, they still couldn't make it work.
i think maybe the word youre looking for is vibrato...about her singing voice.
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.
Love Stevie
Oh snap! It is Monday
Lindsey makes it sound like two guitars.
I'd recommend you "Big Love", live version. Also, have you watched "I Wish It Would Rain Down" by Phil Collins? One of his best.
If this performance doesnt bring a tear to you eye theres something wrong
Good choice. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✌
It was about her father...as well as the guitarist Lindsay Buckingham
Most people will think that Stevie Nicks voice is beautiful and original
Cute voice !!!! 😍👌👍
More Fleetwood Mac! 😁
Beautiful song
Beautiful reaction.... :-)
