Nietzsche's Landslide of Appreciation

From its simplistic guitar melody to the beautiful lyrics that are open to interpretation, Fleetwood Mac has succeeded in creating a song that I truly enjoy: "Landslide". The simplistic melody takes from the Dionysian ideals and the lyrics, which are also simple, follow Apollonian principles which together create an ideal experience for the world to hear. The lyrics tell the story of the fear and uncertainty that come with growing up. From "Well I've been afraid of changing/cause I built my life around you/but time makes you bolder/children get older/I'm getting older too" to "well the landslide will bring you down" there is a tragic idea of not knowing where you are going that is a common thought in one's mind at some point in their life. Therefore, I applaud Fleetwood Mac for their ability to create a noteworthy song.
