2023 and Miley’s backyard sessions are STILL EVERYTHING
*2024
Damn, people really need to give Miley the props she deserves! This is incredible ... her voice has so much soul and depth. I am glad she is doing her own thing instead of going with whats "in" right now.
+TinAmazing G For fuckin real! Her voice is crazy underrated!
Hinengarangi Makoare
You know it girl! I love her unpredictable self thats what makes her unique in so many ways! :)
+TinAmazing G, i think you've got it a little bit wrong...I mean she's absolutely, insanely good when she does stuff like this whereas she sucks big time when trying to look sexy and turn to more poppy music, which she does to look "in". anyway she's a great artist and a very skilled singer, the day she stops overdoing to impress she will release some badass album im sure of that...
+TinAmazing G I personally think that she's trying too hard to look and sound adult. She wants to be explicit. Well, she's bonkers for trying to do that though. I think the "normal" her makes her stand out even better. Her voice is just so good, also she's good in "The climb"and "When I look at you" too... I love her for her talent that she rarely shows off. Respects.
Charlotte Christian How do we even know what the normal her is?
2020 and Miley's backyard sessions are still everything
and she will release Backyard Sessions 3!!!
Feels like home 💚

Not a Miley Cyrus fan -- but this proves she has some talent and skill.
Evelyn Lee Barney "some"
+Evelyn Lee Barney " some" ... gurl...
she has the best voice in the industry of music...n.2 is Florence + the machine
Beyonce, Ariana, Mariah nah!
+Alex in bottiglia Mero Jaja lol all of them can slay Miley
***** No it don't depend of what you like, they have better voice and range resonance etc, Is a fact that you can't deny. But Miley have a really good voice and she is amaizing I don't know why she sing pop music (the same to Ariana xD)
This is so breathtakingly good. They both have the exact right voices for this great song. RIP Melanie - we will always remember you as one of the greatest singer-songwriters.
Miley is so human, deep and respectful. Beautiful chemistry with another legend.
Milely's not a legend ..
Thank you, Miley, for bringing back Melanie. Thank you for showing such respect for her. Thank you for singing proud to help her sing her songs, helping her to relax and come out and sing herself. Thank you for being such a beautiful person.
susan w Yes, yes, Yes! And thank you for writing that.
Susan W Thank YOU You spoke my thoughts too!!
crazycrow76 because after all going through that they got it all wrong Ma. I said look what they've done to my song. I feel so Melancholy right now. I'm going to be alright Ma. Yes I'm going to be all right Ma. Cuz I remember back when I was a lad and you are okay Ma. And you would sing with me all day long I never got it wrong Ma. Look what they've done to our song.
susan w ditto that 💜

OHMYGOD TROWBACK TO THE FIRST BACKYARD SESSIONS I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Sophie Jacqueline !!!!!OMG IKR
Sophie Jacqueline Check out the Purpose of the Happy Hippie Foundation
what I was thinking !
Haha how about throwback to Melanie's prime when she wrote this song in the 60s :P
+Sophie Jacqueline It is very interesting to check out the first version she did a few years ago. Miley's singing matured a lot, and she reflected a lot more feeling of bitterness and hardness in it. In the earlier version, she was just singing it sadly and smoothly.
You have to respect & love Miley for paying respect to her roots & people who came before her. Love her.
R.I.P. Melanie (Jan 24, 2024)
I'm finally starting to love Miley's talent. Melanie Safka has been a favorite of mine for over 50 years. This has long been one of my favorite songs to cover and to hear Miley and Melanie team up on it is absolutely beautiful.
Such an epic song ❤
Even if she wasn't Billey Ray Cyrus's daughter and Dolly's goddaughter, this girl would have made it. She is very likable and talented. Believe me i tried so hard to hate her.
lol
I know some beautiful female musicians that have not been able to kick start their careers, who wind up touring folk festivals semi-professionally.
Even Melanie Safka (the lady Miley was singing with) was lucky to ever become popular, she was almost totally unknown and she landed a gig at Woodstock without having heard of the festival before....
There are thousands of attractive musicians who never make it, some of them are much more talented that the ones that do make it.
Becoming a famous musician may be closer to having a requisite talent- beauty, record deal and winning the lottery put together than what you suggest: likability and talent.
Many of the people who are able to become internet famous musicians sign record deals so they can get better marketing, distribution networks and tours. Justin Bieber started out as internet famous, but his internet popularity was really just a proof of concept and likely profitability to the people that invest in the careers of artists so that his real career could be engineered.
Miley's career was engineered from the start, she was a Disney baby, she was given professionally written songs to perform (she co-wrote some of them, not sure if she really did, or if Miley was advised to claim that she co-wrote them to get song writing royalties). If she did not have a famous father, TV show and recording deal to market the Miley Cyrus brand I doubt she would have ever made it.
Her future as a pop star looks a bit suspect, I am doubtful of whether she can change her persona again to remain relevant, after portraying someone off the rails she may not be able to be seen as a normal person again when the people who like music for it's spectacle get bored of her when the next engineered over the top pop star comes along.
Melanie was the Miley of 1969, in a way.
She had one BIG hit in "Lay Down," a medium-range hit in "Brand New Key" and "Look What They've Done" charted too. She was a little bit more than a "one hit wonder," but she couldn't really get a pop career going.
Somebody said "she looks old" here, but she is 65+ years old (she's 70 now). Take it from a guy who was a teenager at the time, she was smoking hot.
JStar: After "Brand New Key" she was pretty much labelled a novelty act in America. The fact that her music is still being celebrated 50 years later however, is a testament to how she was able to capture the spirit of the 60's scene. While she may not have gained great commercial success, she has stayed true to her roots and maintains a loyal fan base.
With pop stars, you don't need to become as big as Elvis, the Beatles or Jimi Hendrix. It is perfectly acceptable to shine for a moment when your songs happen to strike a chord with the culture at large and then retire to spend time with your family.
Melanie did not need to become a bazzilion heir, I bet she and her family were able to lead a comfortable life from the money generated by a very successful career as a singer songwriter (successful compared to how most musicians are not able to support themselves or their families from their music).
I find musicians that are able to have grace when in the public eye and when outside it are more admirable than the people that get enmeshed in celebrity and turn themselves into something less than human chasing fame. I am glad the Melanie has been able to lead a human life.
PETITION FOR MILEY TO DO AN ACOUSTIC ALBUM WITH THIS VIBE (not a fan of deadpetz tbh)
+Gabriela Riera karen don't be sad , lighter,I get so scared, space boots and 1 sun are really good songs from MC&HDP..
thanks for the suggestions! karen dont be sad is quite good i hope miley releases another album tho dead petz i think was just a fun project for her to experiment and share with the community
+Gabriela Riera you're welcome yeah I know I hope she sticks with this vibe too it's the most suitable for her voice..
soundcloud.com/dannyh424/miley-cyrus-look-what-theyve here is the Version with miley singing solo
+Gabriela Riera I really love Miley but deadpetz got me like dafuq?
Absolutely beautiful. Two extremely talented women and now one of them gone too soon.
So impressed with this. Melanie was a Miley back in the Woodstock day. I appreciate Miley for realizing this is her future and treating Melanie with respect.
she should just be a country singer because everytime I hear this I feel my soul dancing!
same
emre deniz lol you're hilarious!
I rather she sing pop , but she can do pop sometimes though (:
she was xD
agree!! :)
I don't know of anyone who can collaborate with legends of music so effortlessly as Miley Cyrus can.

@@kirastrikes8773 no
@@kirastrikes8773 i love gaga, but she never collab, her hits are her own singles.

Love me some Miley and Melanie singing together!! Rest in Peace, Melanie. We will always remember you.
Class act. Media never shows this side of this beautiful lady
This is where Miley belongs. This is where I feel she truly shines.
I agree.. I feel if she would be in her true nature like this she eould get some really true fans insread of being like the rest of d typical music artists
+SAANCH SINGHAL Typical artist? You messin!?
I feel like if she just did this type of music she could be that artist to bring this type of music back for a revival! It could be freaking awesome!
She's her, and imagine being in her shoes... We, the media and Disney have screwed her head right up. Who can blame her for what she does. I appreciate her a lot more than I used too because she has shown us she is a human, and if we are free why can't she be? I love her for that #smiler:)
+Amari Maisonet So you think Miley should stick with hippy folk music?
There's crazy artistic chemistry between Miley and Melanie :] they seem like mother and daughter while performing.
Ur screen name made me giggle 😂🤣 🤣
@@lerhondajones-bates3324 same here :D oh pheebs
Absolutely indeed!
What a great song. Miley can sing anything and maintain the integrity of the song. Seeing her sing with Melanie gave me chills.
this young lady can sing country , rack, heavy metal , folk , she is way ahead of any other female singer its not funny ,and can change the tone in her voice for any song , just absolutely love this young lady
Please collaborate with Lady Gaga and make East meet West.
Love her too you are so correct! Miley Era 2023. She's nailing it. Beautiful, talented, sweet, no BS ❤
You need to listen to Melanie's singing when she was younger...she's in her 70s for f sake. She's a Woodstock legend. Look up the live of her singing Ring The Living Bell or Peace Will Come. She's amazing.
Miley seems like the most loving and understanding person ever, but so does Melanie. This collaboration makes my heart so happy.
VeeMarie3 Yes, it's delightful!
Loving people do not lick pink cakes for planned "parenthood" to promote violently dismembering a baby in the womb. It is a person, just like you were at that stage. Uniquely you!! XOXO
Wallace J. Carbuncle, III shut up Wallace
i love when she sings country and i don't even like country
right? i think this is the first country song I've heard in like a year...she does well at it
this isn't country. it's a more folk-hippie genre from the sixties. they added the drums and twanginess in this cover for some reason so it made it sounds country...
Austin
Whatever. They all sound the same.
+Austin So, she is now singing country, right? If she does a Nirvana's country cover, it would be a country song.
+Denis Maximiliano Morales Salazar I don't think that was English
Melanie is life. This is the duo I needed. Brand new key next!
❤ lay down next by melanie and miley
Im 61 and could live in her backyard. Love Miley. ❤
What if this is about Disney and she's saying look what they've done to my soul ma??? 0_o
You are right if they mean Disney notes all the artists who entered rehabilitation clinics to read about the Illuminati
+reham abdulrhman mk ultra
It's my SONG not my soul, check the title
+Melinda Schmidt woah listen to the lyrics lmao
+turtlesinabox Melanie Safka did, 50 years ago. Elvis sung it.
Miley has a good Country voice 🤗
+Marlen Jackson duh XD
She would be better if she sang country
Father good teacher
+Real Demigoddess ✌ yup 😍
yes and she is from tennesee
Rest In Peace Melanie.😪
RIP Melanie, sing with the angels
Absolutely
She is doing that.
I WISH MILEY WOULD DO A COUNTRY ALBUM. HER "COUNTRY" VOICE IS AMAZING
Ever since Miley did that "big change" in her appearance and attitude, I've definitely started liking her more. I love the way she acts n doesn't care bout what people think. Because As people grow older, things change and they always want to reflect more and more who they truly are. Yes I figure it is hard when you have like a million people looking up to you. I'm sure she knows of the fact that there's younger people that she should be aware of... but none of which know the crap she probably had to endure just to be the "right image" that society was rooting for. I love that she was ballsy enough to follow her heart and live by her own beliefs and standards.
Nancy Diaz YOU. ARE. AWESOME. :) I never watched Hannah Montana. I didn't grow up with her. I just know that people grow up, and when I grew up, I could finally be myself. My friends had left and moved anyways, I could finally blossom and make the right mistakes and become who I want to be. Now I'm happy. I'm sure she is too.
Yaaasss preach it girl!
Omg yes!!! There it is!!
Amen
I definitely like get mOre now too. she's done pretending being some one she's not so I'm proud of Get being who she really is and she's finally happy with her career. way to go miley! ♥♥♥
RIP Melanie. A Great Singer
RIP Melanie. Damnit.
Miley is so underrated! I love her voice. Don't know what people are talking about when they say she isn't a good singer
Not the biggest fan of country music but Miley just makes it so appealing.
+Everly Scene
Isn't that more like folk?
+Ludomir Steinbrück I suppose it would classify as folk.
+Everly Scene You need to do some research on Melanie ;)
+Everly Scene yea this is definitely more of a folk pop
She's more like her Auntie Dolly Parton
Love this side of Miley. She seems so happy and carefree. Beautiful
I love the fun vibe between Miley and Melanie so much on this! They both sound great, and much respect to Miley for choosing to cover this with the original artist.
Much Respect To Melanie choosing to sit and do this .
Miley's voice is a real gift
Uncontrollably crying to this.
"Maybe it'll all be okay" I literally break down, with a puddle of tears lol
Haoqing Die same!
Haoqing Die get a grip... it’s a song.
Glad I'm not the only one
I find myself coming back to this video frequently. The vocal chemistry between Miley and Melanie gives me chills every time!
After 3 years she sing it again and better. I love her so much.
Nothing speaks 'The Backyard Sessions' without this song!
I'm glad she sang this with Melanie
Woah her voice is so amazing I just wan to close my eyes to enjoy it better but, then again she's too beautiful and I have to open my eyes and look at her 😍
Nice to see this, I'm her old Soundguy from the 70's. She's still got the Pipes :)
Bless them both. It's funny to hear Melanie crack up when she starts to sing, after Miley's gorgeous intro, but then Melanie kills it.
She needs to collaborate with Stevie Nicks
YES
yaaas
Oh my gosh yes!
+Natalie Melendez I can't even imagine how amazing that would be.
who the fuck is steve dicks
you can tell Miley feel that song in her soul
RIP Melanie, we love U
I'm IN LOVE with the way she sings "ma"
😍
You should listen to her her ya in don't dream ist over
HER LAUGH AT THE END SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE IN THE INTRO OF HANNAH MONTANA OMG
Woa you're right 😂
Yeaaah 😓❤️❤️
OMFG THE FEELS
GET OVER IT! She played Hannah what do you think? "She sounded like Hannah Montana" NO DIP SHERLOCK
yeah but it's stlil interesting that she hitted a laugh in exactly the pitch of the intro
I loved this song for years and now I just realized Melanie Saftka is the same Melanie who performed the song Brand New Key from my childhood! Mind blown
wow....melaine's voice is remarkable for her age as much as miley's for her age....very impressive...i remember listening to this song on my car am radio....
why cant she be like this always???
she's on a Disney contract that's her way of rebelling. she exposes to social media's a character it's all and act for Disney to drop her contract. off camaras she's different a Miley we don't know.
+Fabian Pacheco because she can be whatever she wants! :)
+Fabian Pacheco She IS always like this. What you see isn't all she is, it's what others want you to see and think. Think for yourself.
+Fabian Pacheco But she is! And she's much more! :)
+Fabian Pacheco dont sell dud dont sell beter show the cholga in this way she sell a lot
I always laugh when people say that Miley don't have talent and she can't sing.
Really? Are you serious?
She is one of the most talented person in the world
I love every second of this, from "Puppies SH" to "That was badass" and I never get tired of it thanks Miley...
Miley always seems her happiest doing these. She sang without baggage then.
Both of their voices are so amazing!
yes they are. beautiful
Michael Johnston Yes :)
miranda h just like u :-)
Michael Johnston Awe that's sweet lol thank you!!
+miranda h awww you're very welcome. x
I would love to see her Collab with Stevie Nicks!!!!! I think it would be a really amazing Collaboration. But this is an amazing cover
that's a really good idea!
If only Stevie Nicks could still sing...
Alan Bauer Stevie's singing is still absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend going to see her live, she's incredible
Lexi Bell wow good choice in collaboration. I'm surprised that a young girl like you knows who Stevie Nicks is. you have good taste. that would be an amazing collaboration.
Lexi Bell I was just looking for this. Sadly doesn't exist. It should. For sure.
I love this woman so much, she's so understanding, bold and loving such a beautiful person. 🥺🥺💖💖
I'm crying because I'm so happy to see how far Miley has come. SMILERS ARE PROUD OF YOU MILES xxxx
I truly believe Miley knows what's best for her and to see these videos and see how happy she is, makes me wonder why people hate her so much. Sure she's made a fool of herself at times, and has done things she was probably better off not doing. But in the end she has done what she wanted and what made her happy and honestly, that's all that matters.
gloria you just put me in my place. I'm one of those nasty internet trolls. maybe I should give her a break.
Maybe too may people around her smiled and agreed, maybe not? She won't be leaving the stage soon, I hope. Lady Gaga pushed the envelope too and she hardly had the same beginnings. They both seem to be doing just fine exploring their skills. Best Wishes.
Many people despise a happy woman. Miley loves her own body, is confident, strong, and outspoken. She does what she wants without hurting anyone. She is loved by her father instead of made inconsequential. She is everything a woman in our misogynist society is NOT supposed to be.
Most of us have made a fool of ourselves at times...I know I have.
That voice has my soul
This is the song that made me realize how much I loved MC❤
Melanie's pushing 70 now, and that face is just as bright and lovely as it was when I first heard her some 50 years ago. Don't believe it? Bring up her first hit, "Beautiful People", here on YT. Love ya, darlin'; you still are. Indeed, 'nicely done'; looks like Miley finally has good people around her, moving her in a better direction. Hope it holds up.
I love "beautiful people" and her bob dylan cover "don't think twice, it's all aright"
Been a Melanie fan ever since that first hit. That voice was unequaled until now. This 73 year old is now amazed, surprised at the depth, quality and emotion that Miley Cyrus brings to this music. Who knew? I'd better stop reading the gossip rags online and just focus on the music. Miley is unbelievably talented and I love her voice.
Love Melanie's music. Always have. Miley does this song justice.
Aww didn't she perform this solo at last years backyard sessions?
Devin Hookimaw Yes she did. It's so cool too watch them one after the other. She sounds beautiful in both.
Devin Hookimaw they were from 2012, not last year
Hahahah that's what I meant like last time she did backyard sessions.
Devin Hookimaw nothing changed still the best tho.
The lyrics are so powerful, it's like an artist crying over what the commercial industry of music making does to art and to artist , like ask kesha, Taylor swift , Britney, and even miley
Is there nothing Miley cant sing, and great to see an hear the awesome Melanie, one of the true greats.
Wow this is where she shines
Just wondering about how people that say "miley has no talent" 's life could look like. Smilers know who Miley is from the beginning, and i'm so much proud of her... She made me the strongest i've ever been, she helped me so much through what she does.
2023 and still here for it
If people are buying tears I'm going to be rich some day ma. that hits hard
Her voice is made for country
Amel M I agree she has a good country voice. I just hope you're not implying that this is a country song. because it is far from a country song. this is folk music from the 1970s. I know I was there. and country people dislike folk people. they thought we are all a bunch of dirty hippies. we protested the war we protested segregation we protested our government. we marched on Washington we burnt flags and bras. we're the reason we had Barack Obama as a president. we need more people to sing and to put their feelings out in the open.✌
In her blood.
I DONT AGREE
This just gives me so many chills and brings tears to my eyes. Two incredibly beautiful souls with beautiful voices
Meagan Culbert one beautiful soul and the one Miley Cyrus. her soul is stained so dirty I catch AIDS just thinking about her.
Meagan Culbert OMG, so true
jamie s still watching her music tho 🤷♀️
Ahh Melanie great at Woodstock I'm so glad that the years have not diminished you in the least. Thank you Miley for always honoring those that came before you and paved a path for others like yourself. I love you both.
Awesome, timeless, and still cool, love Kimm
Miley has the most beautiful voice
Ive been a fan of miley for 10 years now, since the start of her career. I will always be there and she was the one who got me falling in love with music. I love you miley ❤️
I was only 8 yearsold, she was my first favorite singer.
+Warachara Upapong same here! shes absolutely incredible but i wish people would see past what she wears and recognise her talent
Warachara Upapong what's the song?
Holy shit Miles can knock the notes out the park 👍👍
i think god just touched my ears
When she sings country it's like another dimension to her voice and personality. Absolutely amazing and beautiful!
Im happy she became rich and famous pop star because i have the belief her fuck you money will allow her to make throwback country album withno repercussions for her career. The risk is literally gone
@@discgolfinrude exactly. I love the term Fuck You Money lol
A very happy birthday to you Melanie Safka! One of your loving Seattle fans!
For making Melanie smile, I'll give you a like Miley.
Thank you Miley. I'm 53 and this song is from my childhood, I remember my mum singing it. This was awesome but girl you made me cry
How come no one talks about this miley? I love her new song "bb talk" and iknow she can be crazy, but she's still miley. Cause apparently everyone thinks miley changed oh so drastically. She's a good person on the other side, no one gives a fuck tho. Fuck society
I agree with you
it's sad that no matter what she does people find one way to break her down and say she is terrible
Please be a fucking preast
+abby Law many just don't understand her new album. it's experimental & dope & her voice isn't compromised. i love it & these oldie covers & her charity work..she's doing her thing & it's wonderful! the days of her impersonal pointless pop tracks are gone, & yeah she's still thrusting things on stage but she waited until it was age appropriate & her contract w/ disney was up & etc. so why should anyone have a problem..
+abby Law ya it is like so obivious like it is so clear she say look what they
have done to my song like come on it is clear that some one change her
and change her songs other ways way she say that and what that mean look
what they done to my song we can see what they did but who are they
who change evrey single artist who go in to disney and make them like
crap wake up people ther some thing not goine right
Miley has one of my favorite voices and is highly underrated I think ❤
This is absolutely beautiful ❤
If she'd do a country album my life would be complete
i'm so down for this new miley this music is really chill & just some nice feel-good music. I love it
What a wonderful thing! I love Melanie. Thank you Ms. Cyrus for spreading the word about such a special artist.
What a great version of this song , by two incredibly talented artists.
I love this song so much, Miley is truly the most amount of talent anybody needs. She can do either slow country music or crazy rap and still she is so good. Love her and her music ❤️
Ugh i wish all these covers were on iTunes... I need to listen to them
I think they're on soundcloud! You can download from soundcloud!
thanks so much! i didn't think to look there but I found them :)
2021 and Miley's Backyard Sessions are still EVERYTHING
Wow.... Miley is one talented singer. That's God -given talent showcased at its finest in these Backyard Sessions. This one with the inimitable Melanie Safka is wonderful. Thanks for posting - and for drawing attention to the Happy Hippie cause.
I luv the way Miley looks now 😄. She seems happy again...
