thewriteronthestorm: “The first part of Landslide? I think it was the first line, I think it was ‘I took my love and I took it down.’ Which really meant, I always said I took my ego and I took it off the mantle. Like, that trophy ego that we all have, you know? And I took the ego down and decided was it selfish, to walk away? And I think that I understood that somewhere I felt something big coming and that what was really coming was Fleetwood Mac and that I was going to give this relationship that had already been going on for a long time, I mean Lindsey and I had been together, in a band, since 1968 and we had been together as a couple since 1970, so this was already 1973. So we’ve been living together you know, pretty much as a married couple more or less um, and so this was, if I was gonna walk away this was a huge deal. So that was, in other words, I stood back and saw the future and that’s what Landslide meant, was the Landslide’ll bring you down, you know, the Landslide of what it could have been or might be. I was only 25 years old when I wrote it. So, it was not written by somebody my age now, it was written by a young girl in her mid-20′s. I want people to listen to it and understand that this was not written by this old woman you know? That this was written by a young girl who was facing her future.” — Stevie Nicks, 2011 Source: arrrghhhkieran -- source link
