Landslide Brought Me Down-I’ve Been Afraid of Changin Cause I’ve Built My Life Around You But Time Makes You Bolder Children Get Older I’m Getting Older Too–Stevie Nicks-Fleetwood Mac-Landslide

“Well, I’ve been afraid of changin’
‘Cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m getting older too.” ¹

It’s a timeless reflection on life’s transitions and the passage of time. …”

Those haunting lyrics are sung by Stevie Nicks, who Mobile and Manufactured Home Living News (MHLivingNews.com) has reported lived for years in manufactured home community (MHC). More on that later herein. Here are the lyrics to the song, per Musixmatch.

Lyrics of Landslide by Fleetwood Mac

verse

I took my love, I took it down

I climbed a mountain and I turned around

And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills

‘Til the landslide brought me down

verse

Oh, mirror in the sky

What is love?

Can the child within my heart rise above?

Can I sail through the changin’ ocean tides?

Can I handle the seasons of my life?

verse

Well, I’ve been afraid of changin’

‘Cause I’ve built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Even children get older

And I’m getting older too

verse

Well, I’ve been afraid of changin’

‘Cause I’ve built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Even children get older

And I’m getting older too

Oh! I’m getting older too

chorus

Oh-oh, take my love, take it down

Oh-oh, climb a mountain and you turn around

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills

Well, the landslide bring it down

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills

Well, the landslide bring it down

Oh-ohh, the landslide bring it down

To learn more about Stevie Nicks, who owned a “mobile home” in the famous Paradise Cove “trailer park” – more properly, a manufactured home in an exclusive community overlooking Malibu Beach – see the linked reports.

Nick’s isn’t the only wealthy or famous person who has owned, or still owns, a mobile or manufactured home. Nearby is Nick’s prior residence is the manufactured home residence that CNBC’s Shark Tank star and investor Barbara Corcoran showed off in the video and report linked below.

Landslide is in part a ballad about the willingness to be open to changes. The “you” of change could be a person, a belief, it could be all sorts of things that are swept away by one of life’s landslides that may compel or reveal some new insight or reality that needs to be embraced.
