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? In the Smashing Pumpkins, unlikely as it may seem, had a minor acoustic hit with the song. Usually, Stevie does not say too much about her songs and their meanings, and has dedicated the song to various people in different performances, including her father.
However, she did open up about how the movie was really about living on the breadline as well as fighting with her then-partner and musical collaborator, Lindsey Buckingham. Who left the band? Working that amount not only made Stevie tired, but also made things difficult between her and Lindsey.
As history tells us, however, the couple did stay together but only for a certain amount of time, until they split up. I said, 'Fine, take the car and the dog, I have a bus pass. So in order to get out of Colorado I had to call my parents and they unwillingly sent me a plane ticket because they didn't understand what I was doing up there in the first place.
The story of Landslide Everybody in my family, all my friends, everybody I guess it was about September , I was home at my Dad and Mom's house in Phoenix, and my father said, 'you know, I think that maybe So it was three months, I still had three more months to go to beat my six month goal that my dad gave me. So that's what Landslide is about. You know, If you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills I was trying to figure out what I was going to do.
I wasn't making it big in the music business. I was confused. He told me I should give it about six months and I kind of agreed with him So they rehearsed and left, and I made a choice to stay in Aspen. We stayed there for almost three months while Lindsey was on the road, and this is right after the Buckingham Nicks record had been dropped. And it was horrifying to Lindsey and I because we had a taste of the big time, we recorded in a big studio, we met famous people, we made what we consider to be a brilliant record and nobody liked it laughs.
I was perfectly delighted to work and support us so that Lindsey could produce and work and fix our songs and make our music. I am tired. If nobody likes this, then what are we going to do? So during that two months I made a decision to continue.
It was hysterical. It was like we were rich overnight. From Performing Songwriter Issue 69, May Stevie Nicks is also interviewed in Issue , June Category : Behind The Song. Stevie Nicks speaks to my heart… my soul. Her voice, lyrics of her songs… just everything about her. Tears rolled down my face. Seeing her again made this 62 year old Nana cut loose and sway with delight. Amazing to think she was in the precipitous of giving up or thinking we would not LOVE her music.
Still stops me in my tracks. I picked this song years before my father died to play at his funeral. It was the song we chose to play while a video of his life played.
It never fails to make me remember him. I absolutely love this song! See, most of you would hear this and connect it with your fathers in love, but to me it makes me cry because he destroyed our connection. He took it down… and his wife would play this song on car trips before we stopped seeing each other…. Interesting that several comments speak to how this song connects them to their dad. It does for me, too. I always think of him when I hear this song as he weathered my many attempts, in my fanciful youth, to sing this song just like Stevie.
Only my dad thought I could sing — clearly we both have no ear for music — but his undying love and encouragement is what I think of when I hear this song.
Stevie does it best — her poems, lyrics and songs have been guideposts in my life. I have always loved this song, my Dad brought me up on what is now referred to as classic rock. As the years went by I heard all kinds of music.
And that song played at every wedding I attended until my own. These writers are too intelligent to let something like this land-slide, pun intended! If I were the producer, ha, ha, easy to say, this would not have been released as it was.
I was discussing this song later in with a childhood friend of mine and how it spoke to both us.
