Landslide by Fleetwood Mac is featured in Sexy, the fifteenth episode of Season Two. It is sung by Holly with back-up from Brittany and Santana.
Santana chose the song because she wanted to tell Brittany how she feels about her. Despite that, Santana tells Rachel that just because she sang a song with Brittany, it doesn't mean that she, or anyone, can put a label on her. It makes her realize how she feels about Brittany and their relationship.
Lyrics
Holly:
I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Where the landslide brought me down.
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart
Holly with Santana:
Rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Holly with Santana and Brittany:
Oh-Oh..oh-oh...oh
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
Cause I've built my life around you
Holly with Brittany:
(Santana in the show version: But time)
(Santana with Brittany in the show version: makes you bolder)
Holly with Brittany and Santana (Holly):
(Santana and Holly with Brittany in the show version: Children get older
And I'm getting older) (too)
Holly:
Well...
Holly with Santana and Brittany:
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
Cause I've built my life around you
Holly with Brittany:
But time makes you bolder
Holly with Santana and Brittany:
Children get older
And I'm getting older too
Holly:
Well, I'm getting older too
So.. take this love and take it down
Yeah, if you climb a mountain and you...
Holly with Santana and Brittany:
...turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Holly:
Where the landslide brought me down
Holly with Santana and Brittany:
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Holly:
Well maybe...
Well maybe...
Holly with Santana and Brittany:
Well maybe...
Holly (with Santana and Brittany):
The landslide will bring you (down!)
