Re: Fleetwood Mac Landslide Free Download

Nicks has said that she wrote the song while contemplating either going back to school or continuing on professionally with guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. Nicks was 27 years old when she wrote "Landslide" and was financially supporting both herself and Buckingham by taking up jobs as both a waitress and a cleaning lady.[4] Following the release of their debut album Buckingham Nicks, they had been dropped from their recording contract 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 ... at that moment, my life truly felt like a landslide in many ways."[5]
The song, which includes such lyrics as "I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills/ Till the landslide brought me down," would become a turning point in the careers of Nicks and collaborator Buckingham, who was also her boyfriend at the time. As she told the "Storytellers" audience, "Three months later Mick Fleetwood called on New Year's Eve 1974 and asked us to join Fleetwood Mac."
