Landslide (Fleetwood Mac cover) Lyrics

i took my love, i took it down
climbed a mountain and i turned around
i saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'till the landslide brought me down

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

well, i've been afraid of changing
'cause i've built my life around you
oh, but time makes you bolder
even children get older
and i'm getting older too

well, i've been afraid of changing
'cause i've built my life around you
oh, but time makes you bolder
even children get older
and i'm getting older too
yes, i'm getting older too

so take my love, and take it down
and I climb a mountain and turn around
if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
will the landslide bring it down

if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
well the landslide will bring it down
uh, the landslide brought me down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i absolutely love her cover of that song. it's so heartbreaking though. it's about the passing time and getting older. when you know everything have to change but you don't want it to and you're holding on to the past and forgeting about the future, forgeting to live. but it will not lead you anywhere, it will only make you feel worse when you realize you wasted so much time standing in one pleace and reminiscing things you cannot change. i think she was afraid of getting older, but i think she finally realized this is the only way to go. that, that's life. i think she's learning to deal with it.
