This hits my feels. Fleetwood Mac "Landslide" vocal ANALYSIS.

[@mairywo]

I'm a conltralto and this is the song that showed me that low voices are absolutely beautiful and you don't need to sing in your head voice to be heard and loved. It is and always will be my favorite popular song to sing along with. It is also one of the very few songs by women that I can actually hit every note perfectly (I suck as a soprano).

[@DonnaHarris-zi4qr]

Yes! Just realized this last year or two that I’m a contralto. Wish I’d known earlier! Got some years on me now. We’re a rare breed and not often recognized (in my experience and I was in several local choirs…loved singing but couldn’t figure out where I fit! Not soprano, not even alto…)

[@Cadinho93]

This song is about the changes and challenges of life, which Stevie Nicks wrote "Landslide" in 1974 in Aspen's snow country, while her then-boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham was on tour with Don Everly. Stevie Nicks has said in interviews that the song was about her romance with Lindsey Buckingham and their career struggles, as well as her relationship with her business-executive father. Her months in the mountains inspired the lines with the song's title, "And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills/‘Til the landslide brought me down.", which one verse contains questions that most of us ask ourselves at one time or another: Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? It's an emotional lyric and while it may seem simple, the introspection of those words resonated with millions of record buyers.

I had the privilege of seeing Fleetwood Mac in concert in Auburn Hills, Michigan during "The Dance" tour. The way the stage was set up, the audience nearly fully surrounded them. Our tickets were behind the stage, which at first I thought would mean we had the worst angle to watch them perform. Throughout most of the concert, their backs were to us. Instead, it allowed us to witness perhaps the most magical moment of the entire concert. During one of the interludes of the song "Landslide", Stevie turned her back to main audience and was facing us. She brought her hand up to her eyes to dry her tears. We were graced to be able to witness this genuine emotional gesture that the rest of the audience missed. I immediately choked up and the rest of the song felt like a good cry together with Stevie.

[@JoanieBC]

​@@joannecunliffe8067every iteration of this song over the years has revealed something new to me. I'd love to hear analysis of early versions of Landslide and the comparison to later versions, the changing word emphasis, the natural changes age has on the voice/vocal chords, and just how life has a way of revealing layers that weren't even intended when a song was written. When it comes to vulnerability, simple yet complex guitar phrasing, and the overall feel of a song, I wonder what you'd make of Ryan Bingham's song Darlin. There's something in it that makes me feel much like I do listening to Landslide, though the journey of the songs are quite different. Maybe it's also related to Ryan and Stevie both embracing their natural voices as opposed to conforming to what a label thinks will sell. As you look at the Fleetwood Mac catalog, I do hope you take time to listen to Honey Hi from Tusk. It's beautiful and gets nowhere near the love it deserves.

[@joannecunliffe8067]

@@JoanieBC I'd never heard of Ryan Bingham before but I did check out "Darlin'". It's a pretty song (he's very gravelly, isn't he?) although I'm not a massive country music fan myself - more rock, blues, UK folk music and classical music. I love John Denver's "Rhymes and Reasons", Ray LaMontagne's "Trouble", Cam's "Mayday" and many songs sung by "Home Free" if we're on that genre. As an example of fabulous songs which make me cry - try Suzanne Vega's "Gypsy", Marillion's "Beautiful", Rush "Tears" (don't pre-judge based on the band - it's a gentle wonderful song), Adele's "Easy on Me", Martina McBride "Concrete Angel", Tracy Chapman "Baby, can I hold you", Mike and the Mechanics "The Living Years", Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" and Chris De Burgh "The Tower". I think that's enough of a list! If I was to add one more, it would probably be Justin Hayward's "The best is yet to come" (yes I am that soppy!). Best wishes, Jo.

Stevie wrote the song before her, and Lindsay became famous. This song is about making a choice, whether or not to continue in the music business or to go back to college and give up on her dreams. She wrote this song and a beautiful home overlooking the snow, covered hills in Colorado, and It’s about deciding to stick with your dreams or two sort of go back to reality and live a so-called normal life.

If you are not getting it please reach out, we all (or at least) I love you dearly my fellow Arizonian! Thank you for giving us what you know and understand in life.

Welcome back Elizabeth! A wonderful choice to return to... hearing this live just never gets old... love the interaction with her and Lindsey...

I got the privilege to finally see Stevie live last year. It was my birthday present to myself. I have idolized her since I was three years old, and getting to see her perform was more than a bucket list item for me. She's my mom's age, and I know that at any moment we could lose her, so I absolutely had no choice but to go see her. She is incredible; and obviously at this point she knows what she's doing at this point. The things she invoked in people there was beyond words. She did a song for Ukraine, she did a cover of Free Falling for Tom... but at the end as her final song she did this one for Christine. I knew she was going to do one for Christine, but when she pulled this one out I almost fell apart. She said she had only played it one other time since Christine passed, and she couldn't finish it the first time. This time she powered through, but you could hear the weeping in her voice, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. One of the most profound experiences in my life. What a powerhouse, what an artist. What a massive influence in my life. And obviously for so many others; the number of other people who had loved her their whole lives, walking through that place just hugging each other for the joy of seeing her. Such a unique talent, and we have been privileged to be on the earth at the same time as her.

I first listened to this song when my girlfriend showed it to me a little while after we met. I love it. She suddenly died 2 years ago when we were just getting started to take big steps in spending our lives together. She was my best friend. My everything. This song, along with many others, were her favourites. Man, life can be super shite. 💙

[@ginger7044]

I imagine my loved ones singing to me on the other side of the veil, loving me and encouraging me to persevere…

[@michaeldelaney7271]

Thank you for helping so many of us through the Landslides of our lives. Your love of music is so heartwarming. Be well.

[@cindykirby8687]

I recently found your channel and love hearing reactions from a person who knows all about, not just the voice, but the phrasing and the instruments and the arranging. Your channel is a standout! I would love to see a reaction of the voice of kd lang. She graciously accepted the reigns to Hallelujah, by fellow Canadian Leonard Cohen, the songwriter of said song. Her performance of Hallelujah at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver was perfection. Her duet and subsequent cover of Roy Orbison's Crying is unbelievable. No one can give you goose bumps like her!

[@tytesseract]

I'll second this suggestion, I've seen kd perform a few times over the decades and she has never disappointed.

[@lgaines62]

Yes!! Agree

[@l.e.phillips]

That would be great to see her react to. I’m not a fan of all of KD’s music, but she most definitely has one of the best voices out there.

[@Cleromanticon]

Yes, I say this as a die-hard Jeff Buckley fan: kd Lang’s cover of Hallelujah is the definitive version

[@danchristopher7957]

Elizabeth... Hope you're fully recovered. You're always a bright spot in my day🌹

[@Tinkerbell9332]

Oh my God Stevie's voice!!! I love this song!

[@merchman1]

Thanks Elizabeth for doing this wonderful reaction. Stevie Nicks is my most favourite singer and performing artist. She defiantly has a one of a kind unique voice and sound. I just love her and this most beautiful song. She is an amazing vocalist and song writer. I would love to see her perform live one day.

[@colsenball2949]

I would say you are spot on with your analysis. Lindsey is a genius in his own right with his style of playing guitar. And the lyrics, although originally intended to indicate a personal relationship involving just two people, have evolved into a totally different interpersonal relationship with her audience/fans/supporters...a subtle fear and concern that, with the passage and ravaging of time, how will she (and WE) handle it when she has been robbed of her ability to entertain us...a concept around which she has built her life? Time deepens this song like no other I can recall.

[@chadmandel5604]

Stevie's voice has always been my favorite, and she gets to my soul with every word

[@kathyrheintgen8495]

Would love to see a Charismatic analysis of Jewel's 1999 concert version of Who Will Save Your Soul.

[@chipsterb4946]

That is a fantastic performance!

[@amescain1]

Thank you Elizabeth. Your videos are a joy to watch. And your enthusiasm is inspiring. Blessings to you and yours.

[@JPBrooksLive]

This is one of the first songs i have a memory of hearing while riding in the car with my late mother. It always makes me think of her decades later.

[@brianzelinsky-ri6nd]

Absolutely lovely and heart wrenching. That they still groove together is amazing to see and hear. Thank you Elizabeth!

[@rimmersbryggeri]

The best thing about this video is Lindsey. Not his guitar palying but his person. Look at him there is so much emotion in his expression.

[@snapdoc]

Lindsey knows how his drug addiction ruined their relationship.

[@BobSakamoto]

Really glad you analyzed this version. I'd not heard it and was blown away by the fact Stevie may be even more attractive and a better singer than she was decades ago. You also did this to me when you covered The Chain, excellent in a musical sense but the raw emotion is stunning. And yes, Mr. Buckingham is a vital part of both these performances both for his amazing playing and the emotional content he adds.

[@georgewardius3773]

Yes ! Thank you for that. More Stevie/Fleetwood Mac please and thank you

[@enoughcorruption5975]

One of the most beautiful heartfelt songs both in the writing and singing ever❤ Extraordinary 🎉!!! Watch the DVD ...This is all on the dvd and the entire concert is fantastic! Extraordinary!!! The performance by the band and interaction with Lindsey are off the charts incredible! Treat yourself if you don’t have it! Its called the Dance!!! ❤ 9:16

[@EM-nl8zm]

Beautiful, and thank goodness for Lindsey's arrangement

[@MarkBtvd]

Beth Roars’ reaction to this same performance popped up in the sidebar suggestions, so I went and had a look. She had much the same reaction as you did, Elizabeth, even mentioned getting “weepy” over the song. “Landslide” seems to hit people’s hearts and I understand why. I’m at a stage of life where one looks back with nostalgia, regrets, and all the rest. Glad you’re feeling so much better. MB

[@wmpatv]

This performance is simply perfection.

[@seanharvey9634]

This song, and your review really hit me. Been playing this song as an average guitarist for years. But hearing Lindsay's playing and Stevie's vocals along with your reaction brought me to tears. Thank you ❤☺️☺️

[@steelheadplayer]

Stevie is a world class talent and has a unique voice.

[@nancilyngatta2484]

this song always makes me want to cry. your facial expressions during the song looked how I felt. thank you for the positivity at the end

[@kevinL5425]

So glad you are recovering after your illness. Talking about being touched by emotion … some time you might want to review “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman. Specifically her performance at the Nelson Mandella tribute in 1988 when she sang it as a replacement for Stevie Wonder who cancelled at the last second due to technical difficulties. The song that launched her career. Or if you want a completely a cappella song, then “Behind the Wall” from that same concert. I revisited “Fast Car” after the performance on this year’s grammy’s. Both would be a perfect song for international woman’s day.

[@firecracker8071]

Two of the very best at what they do and when they come together its magical ❤❤❤❤❤

[@karlhansen2798]

Fleetwood Mac - The Dance… You will be astounded by the power between Stevie & Lindsey on Silver Springs. Guaranteed.

[@T.hunstiger]

Elizabeth, thank you thank you for being you. As I’ve said before, I know nothing about music. And I could listen to you forever talk about it. This song is one of my all time favorites. It’s so emotional as you’ve said. I always appreciate your real emotional response to the music you’re telling us about. Your entertaining, educational and insightful content always helps me have a better day. Thank you very much, very much.

[@lloyderc]

She will always be the queen, ❤❤

[@brianbillings6815]

Such fantastic lyrics and vocals. Such fantastic backing melody and sensitivity to the guitar playing. A perfect song!

[@davemc8021]

great song, you should also check out the live performance of Silver Springs

[@KristaHarrisSB]

Yes!

[@wilefty5004]

Saw them live. One of my favorite songs of all time. Stevie's voice, Lindsay's guitar, the history between them. Just one of the greatest songs ever. Thank you for the analysis.

[@michaeleverett2650]

Awesome, I always loved Fleetwood Mac, in 1977 at the age of 14, I won a game at the Arizona State Fair and I picked out a Fleetwood Mac poster among the prize choices.

[@kevxster]

Such a beautiful song, and one of my all time favorites. It is clear the song means a lot to you, as well, I'm sure as it does to millions of people.

[@sirkat344]

Coolsville! FwdMac. Great song- nice live version, too. This was the band's zenith -75-'79. Great stuff. #MakeMondaybuggeroff

[@christine_penn]

One of my favorite songs and videos of all time. Such a beautiful song and done so well. So glad you analyzed it! Hope you feel better soon!
