Lyrics excerpt ...
...
Nicks wrote "Landslide" while in Aspen, Colorado, inspired, while looking at the mountains, by the thought that everything in her life she'd been building could come crashing down at any time. It became a tale of love and life artfully woven behind the metaphor of a snowy mountain avalanche.
It was never originally released as a single ("Over My Head", "Rhiannon" & "Say You Love Me" were the album's three top 20 hits), but is considered one of the most known and cherished songs of the band's decades-long career. ...
[Verse 1]
I took my love, 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 2]
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?
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
[Chorus]
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

It's a whole genre on youtube; young reactors to 70's music.
Some are just faking it and mugging for the cameras and the income, but I actually enjoy seeing people doing what we did back then instead of being on phones... sitting around and listening to great music with friends or alone.
I saw a couple of kids today who actually live local to me doing the Simon and Garfield album Bookends... they were blown away.
Anyway, here's a montage channel of some of them:
