Is the Song “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac Partially About Cocaine?
Question by : Is the song “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac partially about cocaine?
I ask this because of the lyric, “…I see my reflection in the snow covered hills”. Some might think that she sees her reflection in a mirror that she is doing cocaine (snow covered hills) on. Everyone I have mentioned this to is adament about the song being about her dad, but that line has me thinking it just might be about coke. We all know Stevie Nicks was a huge cokehead.

It is a fact that “snow” is a slang term for cocaine. But it could simply refer to wintertime snow.
For example, you can make a case that “Snowblind” by Styx refers to being under the influence of Coke. But I tend to doubt Anne Murray was describing a drug trip in her song “Snowbird”!
You make an interesting point, however. I read that Stevie Nicks, in addition to being a cocaine user at that stage of her career, admitted that her song “Gold Dust Woman” was about drug use. Since it’s confirmed she wrote at least one song that referred obliquely to drugs, who’s to say she didn’t do that in other songs as well?
You really have to stretch to see a connection between the lyrics of “Landslide” and her father. Her lyrics can be so vague it’s difficult to make any definite conclusions about their meaning.
So the best answer I can give is — probably only Stevie knows for sure.

If it is, then Stevie never said it as far as I’ve heard. She has always said it was about the tumultuous time when she was in the middle of her Lindsay Buckingham-business and her dad had given her a 6-month window to see if ‘this music-thing could work out’, and if not, then he’d send her back to school. She and Lindsay went to Aspen to talk more about it, and wrote the song. As far as I’ve ever heard, anyway.
