Landslide...

There are so many versions of the song Landslide, a tune which almost always has me feeling melancholy, and my favorite one to date is the one by Tori Amos, which she did when I saw her in concert last week. It literally had me bawling, which does not happen to me very often at concerts. I was listening to a CD mix that my sweet friend D

yah! landslide is a really good song. Its one of my mothers favorite songs so I heard it constantly while growing up. its a very touching song. I hope your friend overcomes her problem all right.

Thanks for your kind words :)
How very cool that you were introduced to such a gorgeous song by your mom -- it really is an incredible mother-daughter song in so many ways. Given when I was a little girl, I was exposed to songs by Peggy Lee, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink to name a few --- nothing that leaves a memorable impression, but God love ma for trying !

I do love that song.

I might be seeing Tori here soon, I am trying not to think about missing it......I agreed to go with someone, but then the concert sold out ultra quick. Turns out, her family bought 2 tickets for her (because she mentioned we were planning to go together) - but those 2 tickets are going to HER, so there are no guarantees for me getting one of them & it's SOLD OUT. Arg.

I agree about relationships, that their timing can make or break the grand love affair....but the potential is always there. (that rhymed but it wasnt meant to)

I'll keep good thoughts & energy coming your way that you get to see Tori -- she is so amazing. Put your INTENTION out there that you WILL receive the tickets and you will, I believe that.
Yes, agreed, timing can make or break a possible love affair ; in this case, it wasn't meant to be and my purpose in her life is as a guide, perhaps a guardian earth angel --- I am coming to understand that more and more.

Hi there! Thought I'd drop by!

The only 'Landslide' song I know is the one by Olivia Newton John! I loved it as a kid! :)

Thanks for visiting ! I always enjoy your upbeat nature on the posts by Bec -- would love to have you as an LJ friend, if you're interested. Don't think the Olivia Newton John version of Landslide is the same one though --- sorry :(
The original was done by Fleetwood Mac -- specifically , Stevie Nicks.

I've added you as a friend, please feel free to do the same! :)

Don't think I've ever heard the Fleetwood Mac version, I only have one Fleetwood Mac CD these days (used to have several cassettes years ago). Anyway, I loved the Olivia Neutron Bomb version as a kid... it's not bad actually! :)
