New Version of Landslide is Suffragette Movie Theme Song.

[Jondalar]

This is a new version of Landslide and it's being used as the main theme song for the movie Suffragette with Meryl Streep. It's by Robyn Sherwell. Looks like Stevie is going to get even more royalties from this song. This song just keeps going and going and going...

It is an epic song and Stevie deserves every credit, I am so happy for her. To think that it was written by someone so young and all these years later, it is still going, is awesome.
Congratulations to Stevie, she deserves the world. xx

Robyn Sherwell did a wonderful job with this song. To me it sounds like it could have been a Stevie demo before guitar was added. It is such a simple vocal, not clouded by heavy instrumentation. I love the reverb vocal. I bet this song will do well for the movie, for Fleetwood Mac and for Stevie Nicks.

Wow. This can only mean good things for Stevie and I bet she got a big fat cheque for this.

it's already netted her some 7 million in royalties

I'm not the fan I once was -I don't even own a copy of 24Karat-don't really even like it -and I don't comment here like I used to (I'm getting older too) but when I see things like this and realize what a cultural icon Stevie has become, my heart smiles and I know I picked the right "rock n' roll idol" all those years ago!
I'm not in love with this version, but I see how it's style fits in with the movie so...TWO THUMBS UP!
*Ricoh*

That song has been a very, very good pension plan for her. She said something once about her songs being like her children who would take care of her when she got old.

It isn't like she isn't still raking it in anyway..The cash grab tours with Fleetwood Mac are making her many millions every year that they go on.

This reminds me of Stevie saying she gave her mom Silver Springs as a gift, since she wouldn't take money from her. Of course, I'm sure there were other gifts: "Here, Aunt June. I want you to have The Second Time."

Notice the drumbeat in Robyn's Islander?

"Landside" has become sort of like Stevie's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" song. It's in that rare status of sentimental songs that transcend time, and will be covered for many years to come.

Though the song always held a special appeal, it was just a deep album track on the 1975 Fleetwood Man album. It's stature in the general public grew slowly over time. Now it's become a universally well-known, well-loved song.

It's the vulnerability expressed in the song that so many people connect with. Stevie has written other songs in that realm, but because of their esotericism, they never had the emotional impact that "Landside" has.

Music is both art and commerce. It's nice that she has songs like this that can continually generate a substantial income.

Poor Aunt June! She got the short end of the stick.
