Fleetwood Mac: "Landslide"

About Fleetwood Mac:

Fleetwood Mac is a British-American rock band formed in London in 1967 by drummer Mick Fleetwood and guitarist Peter Green. Initially rooted in blues, the band underwent several lineup changes before evolving into one of the most successful pop-rock groups of the 1970s. The addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks in 1975 marked a turning point, helping to shape the band’s signature sound: a blend of rich harmonies, emotional lyrics, and polished production. Their 1977 album Rumours became a cultural phenomenon, winning the Grammy for Album of the Year and producing timeless hits like “Go Your Own Way,” “Dreams,” and “The Chain.”

Fleetwood Mac’s success was fueled not only by their musical talents but also by the complex personal relationships within the band, which often inspired their most memorable songs. Despite numerous breakups, reunions, and lineup changes over the decades, the band has maintained a massive global fanbase and continues to influence artists across genres. Known for their dynamic live performances and emotionally resonant songwriting, Fleetwood Mac’s legacy as one of rock’s most iconic and enduring acts is firmly cemented in music history.


About “Landslide”:

“Landslide” is one of Fleetwood Mac’s most beloved and introspective songs, written by Stevie Nicks and first released on the band’s 1975 self-titled album. Accompanied by Lindsey Buckingham’s delicate fingerpicked acoustic guitar, Nicks delivers a vulnerable and poetic reflection on change, growth, and the passage of time. Inspired by a moment of uncertainty in her life, the song captures the emotional weight of questioning one’s path and identity, resonating with listeners across generations. Its timeless lyrics and stripped-down arrangement have made it a standout in Fleetwood Mac’s catalog and a frequent favorite in both live performances and cover versions.
