The three singer-songwriters met at Berklee College of Music and the band was born at the beginning of 2022. They started out by sharing covers recorded in the stairwell of their dorm and posting them on social media. Focusing on beautifully intimate three-part harmonies the trio’s enticing signature sound, offered exquisite, reimagined versions of songs from across a spectrum of styles and quickly drove them to viral success. They received recognition and early support from artists as diverse as David Crosby, Marcus Mumford, Phoebe Bridgers, and Noah Kahan. Collaborations include work with Mark Ronson, JP Saxe and Lizzy McAlpine, who they supported on NPR’s Tiny Desk. Their first two singles of original music “pennies (voice memo)” & “hemenway” were released at the end of 2022. The songs were met with an overwhelming response, organically garnering over 1 million plays across all digital streaming platforms in the first couple of months.

Their debut EP “Tiny Things” was released in April 2023 and established them as one of “the” bands to watch in the year ahead. In early 2023 the band opened for Gracie Abram’s “Good Riddance Tour” across North America, followed by their own sold-out US “Tiny Tour”. With a new album and European tour on the horizon there is much to look forward to in the year ahead. Recently praised by Sir Elton John on his radio program “Rocket Hour” “Ah, so beautiful, Tiny Habits… They’re delicious, we love them”… What more can you say!

Landslide
Tiny Habits Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

took my love and i took it down
climbed a mountain and i turned around
and i saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
and the landslide brought me down

oh, mirror in the sky
what is love?
can the child within my heart rise above?

can i sail through the changin' ocean tides?
can i handle the seasons of my life?

well, i've been afraid of changin'
'cause i've built my life around you
and time makes you bolder
even children get older
and i'm getting older too

took my love and i took it down
climbed a mountain and i turned around
and i saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
till the landslide brought me down
well, the landslide bring it down

well, i've been afraid of changin'
'cause i've built my life around you
but time makes you bolder
even children get older
and i'm getting older too
oh i'm getting older

i'm getting older
i'm getting older too

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac, as performed by Tiny Habits, reflect a deep introspection on the challenges and changes that come with love and life. The singer describes taking a journey with their love, only to face a moment of reflection where they see themselves in the snow-covered hills, a metaphor for introspection and self-examination. This moment of realization is disrupted by a landslide, symbolizing a sudden and overwhelming force that brings them down, perhaps representing a moment of crisis or change that disrupts their sense of stability and security.

The singer then addresses a "mirror in the sky," pondering the nature of love and its ability to transcend personal growth and challenges. They question whether the childlike innocence and purity of love within their heart can withstand the turbulent and ever-changing circumstances of life. This introspective questioning explores themes of resilience, emotional maturity, and navigating the uncertainties of existence.

There is a sense of fear of change expressed throughout the lyrics, as the singer admits to being afraid of changing, having built their life around someone else. The passage of time is portrayed as a transformative force that inevitably brings growth and aging, highlighting the inevitability of change and the need to adapt to life's shifting seasons. The singer contemplates their own aging and the passage of time, suggesting a sense of vulnerability and self-awareness in the face of life's uncertainties.

The repetition of the lines about climbing a mountain, seeing their reflection, and being brought down by a landslide serves as a powerful metaphor for the cyclical nature of life's challenges and setbacks. The song concludes with a poignant acknowledgment of the singer's own aging process, emphasizing the universal experience of getting older and accepting the changes that come with it. Overall, "Landslide" by Tiny Habits conveys a poignant message about self-discovery, resilience, and the inevitability of change in both love and life.
