Meaning

---

The meaning of the song is ambiguous, which has likely added to its appeal.

Initially, it sounds like a tale of woman whose children have grown, who is questioning whether to remain with her lover. However, given that Stevie Nicks has said that she wrote the song Aspen in 1974, when she was just 26, this interpretation seems implausible.

Stevie Nicks herself has said that when she wrote Landslide, she was contemplating what to do with her life, and it was in response to her inability to make it in the music industry.
