+Draven Aylesz 10 years ago Hannah Montana didn't exist, the show will turn 10 this year. And Miley was what, 13 years old? So if someone had told you 10 years ago that "Against Me would be playing a song with Hannah Montanna", you would have just been like "a song with who?"
Have you read her book? (It's called "Tr*nny", except with an a where the * is; I don't want RUclips to ban me!) It's great fun, but also really personal and bravely revealing. Laura Jane Grace is an icon.
I love how Miley let her sing this song and just touched on her talent, Miley is incredible but I'm so happy she didn't overcrowd Laura's voice. This was amazing!
***** You feel better with your miserable life by actually making the time to say such pointless things? Wow, I think I feel so sorry for you that I'm going to let you have your moment. There there...
If you're such a real punk what the hell are you doing with a youtube account? you're just another keyboard douche like the rest of us, get over it and get on with your life.
Miley has blossomed. I know a lot of people hate her or love to hate her but after launching this foundation and releasing music for it and giving money to the cause of said foundation. I have NOTHING but TOTAL RESPECT for her.
Bloke Poppy Really? Been speaking to God and the Devil have you? Got a direct line to the big guy in the sky? Or do you believe everything a 2000 year old story book teaches you? Say what you want. I don't care. The opinion of bigots matter not to me.
Bloke Poppy did you know that in BC the romans used to have sexual relations with men and samething women did it was normal then the christian capitalism came and it's not considered normal so em get your facts straight and read a book that isn't fairy tales you might learn something if you notice that your just talking deep shit
@anarkidd0 I do believe in God and trust me, every trans heart is blessed and every trans person is beloved and don’t let any ‘Christian’ tell you otherwise
Damn when I decided to scroll through the comment section of probably my favorite musical performance ever I was not expecting to see someone I'm subbed to. Hi a few years later Noah
theres so much happiness and acceptance in this video, i was grinning the whole way through :) people who say miley is "a bad role model" can kiss my ass.
AstridWeien She's actually a bad role model, but she is not a bad person, she have a lot of talent and this series of songs for HHF show that she doesn't need to show her body or sell sexuality to be a real artist.
leopoldo bañales Absolutely every single pop music artist sells on their sexuality. You couldn't name a single fucking one that didn't. That's not something Miley in particular does wrong, that's just how the industry is. She's absolutely a good role model, because she is all about acceptance, love and equality. She doesn't tell her fans that they should all smoke weed and dance around in their underwear. She simply says that that's what she wants to do, so she does that, because she's in charge of her own life and her own body, and so should everyone else be.
Like pretty much the rest of my generation I was like "why did she do this to herself" but from these videos you can see she's more happy in her skin than she's ever been. That's really what's important.
@@ms.rstake_1211 that's great but there were plenty who didn't and if we don't give the people who didn't understand trans identity room to grow it's gonna be a much longer road for us. While I obviously would prefer people accepted us all along, when you're trying to make the world a safer place for a historically marginalized group "Better late than never" works just fine.
I'm having a horrible night and I'm crying and scratching my eyes out. This video gives me hope. I'm trans masculine agender. I'm not understood an not accepted. This. This is gold. Fuck everything else. Update eight months later: I'm doing okay. Soon I'll start my medical transition and I feel like I have a future and I feel a lot happier than before. Now I have a lot of people who understand me and I am accepted. This is still pure gold.
+ghost._.kid same. Like I know that there are others but like fuck actually meeting someone is really weird. But I'm quite content with finding someone like me with this song playing in the background.
I love how Miley gives Laura Jane the spotlight here. It would have been so easy for her to take the mic away but she just totally gave the song and the songwriter respect in my eyes. Beautiful. Great talent
This song and performance are so good it's easy to miss details as just how good those drums are. Incredible performance all around, and that second verse gets me every single time. I've never heard anyone so accurately sum up how I feel with so few words.
Shoutout to the kid I babysat who showed me this song. It led to me listen to Against Me! and I'll forever be grateful for that - the Transgender Dysphoria Blues album got me through high school. This band is also one of the two folkpunk bands I first listened to! This song, and specifically this cover, will forever be so fucking important to me. And I know neither of the artists will ever see this but... Thank you.
I was at the Glasgow gig! There are literally no words to describe Laura Jane live!!! Literal eargasm/eyegasm fucking everythinggasm XD Honestly it was really emotional for me to finally see my hero live and be mere inches away from her. I was shaking and shed a few tears.
I can't say how much I love this. Laura Jane Grace has such a beautiful powerful larger than life voice, and these are touching lyrics which the world needs very much. Miley, Happy Hippie was a great idea.
I have never heard of her (lol I'm sorry) but she is amazing! Her voice is unique AF. And Miley is just so great. She keeps proving that she is very talented, heart of gold, and just an amazing person overall
Marisol She's transgender and just went through a very public GRS. Against Me! has been a very influential band for so long. She's amazing for having made it to the other side, intact.
+msJillianMCS ... unless I missed something, I think you're misusing the term "GRS", because if you're not, that means that she had genital surgery in public... I'm guessing you mean that she went through a public transition, though, and that is much more accurate :P Just to be clear, cause I know its not always obvious through text, I'm not bashing you or anything. I'm just playfully pointing that out.
I’m so late on this video but I just have to say, I got to see Laura Jane grace in concert last night, super small venue, and it was the coolest show I’ve ever been to. She’s such a genuine, funny, rad human and INCREDIBLE performer!
im actually crying right now i cant believe miley has changed so much to be such an open person now i am so happy if only i could have been watching this when i was a little kid oh my god
This SO warms my heart. Laura and her band Against Me! used to play my friend's basement on Long Island in the 90s and they were so immensely loved and still are. It is really heartening to see how far Laura has gone and how authentically she is living.
i love these happy hippie sessions so much : Joan Jett, Laura Jane Grace, Melanie Safka... so much great singers with Miley! i never had doubt about her, i knew she will make something great
+Rocio Laimuns she's never not been "the true miley" she enjoys everything she does and lives her life exactly how she wants, she's a good person and she has fun. Wrecking ball miley is the exact same miley who sang the climb, just older and more true to herself.
If Miley decides to only do backyard sessions- great for her! If she decides to make more songs like we can't stop- great for her! At the end of the day it really doesn't matter what we say. Even though she is famous, she still deals with the same problems every other young adult faces. The kind of music she decides to perform is completely up to her. If you don't like it, just don't listen. Focus your energy on a new hobby; instead of criticizing celebrities on every little thing they do.
natalie perez I second perho, Against Me!'s entire new album is about coming to terms with gender identity/struggles of being a trans woman so I'm sure there'll be a lot in it for you, I recommend Transgender Dysphoria Blues, FUCKMYLIFE666 and Paralytic States especially :)
I love against me so much Check out their album Transgender Dysphoria Blues (the album this song comes from) it's amazing They have some songs with interesting titles haha xD
Laura's voice is literally liquid gold!!!❤️❤️❤️ This song is on repeat! I also recommend listening to the actual Against Me! version ... I like the sound of that as well.
I don't know how anyone can be surprised that Miley does covers like this so well, with so much ease? Y'all know who she grew up with right? she could fart these classic anthems in her sleep when she was a child! Respect girl, always knew you were special.
This song is so uptempo, but there's so much pain in this song. Laura Jane Grace sings about suicide, and it's so true. Transexual people have the highest rate of suicide of any group in our society. Why does it have to be this way?. God loves transexual people just as much as anyone else and he wants to give them his peace. . I believe that God sees transexuals as the gender they identify with, because when God looks at us he doesn't look at our body, he looks at our Spirit. I think part of the conflict is that society rejects transexuals and we need to embrace them. I know there is a lot of inner conflict going on as well. I think songs like this help by pointing out the reality that is happening in the transgender community. I want to listen to more of Laura Jane Grace's songs that deal with Transgender issues. I know she and her band did a whole c.d. about transgender issues. I want to see if there is more hope in the songs. Hope is what we all need. Thanks Laura Jane Grace for what you are doing not just for the Transgender community but for all of us to make us aware of what it is like to be transgender, We can't actually know, but we can live it vicariously through your songs. Thank You
I wish more believers felt this way about God’s opinion of trans people. I’m a Christian and I hate seeing other Christians hate on trans people, because they completely miss the point of Christ’s ministry. I see the 41% trans suicide statistic often cited as a reason why transitioning is bad for someone suffering from gender dysphoria, but the same study that gave us that 41% statistic goes on to say that that percentage drops drastically when trans people are in an environment that at least isn’t hostile toward their very existence. I wish people would realize that. God bless.
Thank you for this, five years later. If you listen to the original version of this song it doesn't sound quite as upbeat, but I think this has that happier sound because it's acoustic and has Miley in it. But the singing in it has such a deep pain to it. I'm trans, the "who's gonna take you home tonight?" line just resonates so deeply and painfully in my heart. It's anger, it's hope and hopelessness, it's longing. I listen to this song over and over and it just never loses it's punch. The song just comes from so deep in the soul.
Is Miley doing a new album? I really hope so. She seems to have evolved so much in a short space of time. Songs like this and the other Joan Jett ones are great but I'm still waiting for Ariana Grande!! Love you Miley!!!
JackJames2612 Yep she has been writing and recording it with her producer Mike Will :) It is almost done apparently and they have posted many photos of them working on it in the past few months. Im sooo excited
9 лет назад
Heather Gunn Hopefully we'll get the first single from the new album this summer ❤
JackJames2612 Her & Wayne Coyne have recorded a 7 track album together. Their is no release date, but they said its coming soon. And she has recorded her own album but has said she doesnt intend on having it out this year. She wants it to supress Bangerz and she knows that will take time. I CANT WAIT EITHER!
Miley, you make me happy. All through your life, you've had wonderful comments. This one isn't much different, but human to human... I am glad you're feeling good about what you're doing. You are good!
I got the opportunity to see Against Me! In 2004 at a small venue just before searching for a former clarify released. It's one of my favorite shows I've been to, and searching for a former clarity is my favorite album of all time. Against Me! no longer exists in that capacity and that saddens me, but it's also okay.
ahhhh i love laura so much!!!! they performed this song when i saw them, and it was so emotional. laura kept telling us how much she appreciated us and that we're loved. her voice is so raw and everything she does just seems to be so natural. i appreciate all her work too!!!
Wow! Never heard of Laura before! Incredible voice and message! Is people like her or Miley, the ones that society are not used to that make the difference and start the change.
I think around this time is where Laura Jane enter her post-punk life. Punk is very much a deconstruction and what is built out of the wreckage of that can hit in a way that is much more refined but still raw.
It seems to be hard to hit the stage of post punk laura has gotten to, too many times you see punk legends lose their way with the ideology before they disband, or they just drop off the face of the earth. Its really nice to see somebody who rocked that hard in Against Me! and still make music while also not feeling like theyre ashamed/ruining their past work
So...I was never a fan lol until........ "Karen Dont Be Sad" on SNL one night while cleaning house I hear this song and immediately go to my tv to see who's singing. I was blown away. "Malibu" and The Backyard Sessions OMG. Mylie you're so very unique. "No More Tears To Cry".Wow!!!!! You have real, true talent and I love how far you've come. You sing whatever you want theres no certain genre. And I LOVE that. And then when I heard of you helping homeless kids etc..wow! THANK YOU.💜
I love the way that Laura Jane and Miley grin at each other throughout this song. It's so cute, you can tell that they really respect each other and are friends. Miley's a badass.
Listening to this in 2021 on Trans Day of Visibility... through their music, Laura Jane Grace and Miley Cyrus have both truly helped me get me this far in life as a trans person, and this performance makes me feel euphoric - sending so much love to other trans folks finding solace here
Think these two artists have very much in common with each other. Both made changes in their life that they needed and in a way, you can see it when they preform here and how they look eachother, because they Kinda understand what the other one is going through. It is very encouraging to see people standing up for the right thing, because being true to yourself is the only true liberty you have in your life.
I love how Laura is so freaking beautiful and just so female and then there's this shocking strong male voice. It's absolutely amazing, I love it so much
Okay so I have never been a Miley fan in any way, I don't like her acting or mainstream music just as much as many people dont. But seeing these backyard sessions etc.. I have nothing but respect for her and her talent. She is an incredible artist and I want to say thank you for representing this community and using your talent to help people :)
Such an amazing song and band, I never really understood why someone would transition but after hearing Laura’s story and evolution quite honestly, I can truly understand why someone would!
Trans masc and I loved Miley so much and against me so much in my youth and teenage years and at 24 years old this means just as much to me as when it came out, if not more. I just didn't know why it was so important at 15/16 and I know now. Thank you so much Laura
Im really glad this video made me discover Laura Jane. There's something about her voice that reminds me a bit of Freddie Mercury for some reason. Its beautiful! I'll be honest. I originally did not like Miley. Untill the original three backyard session tracks came out with Lilac Wine and Jolene and Look what thei've done to my song. I showed it to my mom and we were both like. She should do more things like that! And then she came out with the Happy Hippy foundation and more backyard sessions both of which make me respect her so much. I've always been a huge gay and trans rights advocate.
I have loved you since I was little and i will continue to love you, you are so inspiring and I'm so thankful for all the amazing things you are doing for the lgbt community it really touches my heart, no matter what people say about you there is no denying you are a kind loving person and I'm thankful to have an idol like you :)
As others have said I cannot state enough how much I love the fact Miley let them do there stuff. I'm a metal fan so other than what's in the press I don't know Miley stuff at all
Beautiful. It makes me so happy to see Miley doing this. I've never been a great fan of her work, but for sure she is very talented and blessed with an amazing voice. Everyone should stop judging her and learn a little bit from her. I admire her for what she's using her power for: helping the LGBT collective and the homeless youth. She looks so happy singing about that topic and helping change the world that it makes me happy too. Also, Laura Jane is an amazing human and her voice made me shiver. Love these sessions.
I love how Miley kinda stepped back and let Laura have the time to shine bc the song means so much to her
He
Miley is no diva hey
@@mr.joshua204 Go cry about it kid
@@mr.joshua204 If you want to be transphobic, at least be grammatically correct. It'd be "him".
Also, it is after all an Against me! Song... jus sayin.
If you told me 10 years ago that Against Me would be playing a song with Hannah Montanna there would have been no way you could have convinced me that
+Draven Aylesz Hannah Montanna was a character an actor played :P
+Joakim Andersson In fact it was Miley herself.
+Draven Aylesz 10 years ago Hannah Montana didn't exist, the show will turn 10 this year. And Miley was what, 13 years old? So if someone had told you 10 years ago that "Against Me would be playing a song with Hannah Montanna", you would have just been like "a song with who?"
Landon Wolf you responded to it in literally 1 minute. wtf
You people are no fun, not everything needs logic and calculations to make sense.
I am a 50 year old punk and have a 14 year old son who likes punk music. I introduce this song to him becuse it's wonderful and I really admire Laura.
fuck yeah mate
Way to be a killer dad.
Have you read her book? (It's called "Tr*nny", except with an a where the * is; I don't want RUclips to ban me!) It's great fun, but also really personal and bravely revealing. Laura Jane Grace is an icon.
Love u dude ❤
@@thefrawshouldnt go around telling people to mate.
I love how Miley let her sing this song and just touched on her talent, Miley is incredible but I'm so happy she didn't overcrowd Laura's voice. This was amazing!
...
***** You feel better with your miserable life by actually making the time to say such pointless things? Wow, I think I feel so sorry for you that I'm going to let you have your moment. There there...
doesnt change the fact that you're a negative ass who obviously has nothing better to do in their life.
Laura Jane seemed to be enjoying herself. Against me is fine with Miley - and they all add something to the world. Why are you sucking it out?
If you're such a real punk what the hell are you doing with a youtube account? you're just another keyboard douche like the rest of us, get over it and get on with your life.

Laura Jane grace gives me chills when she sing the part " does God bless "
👍👍👍
@anarkidd0 I do believe in God and trust me, every trans heart is blessed and every trans person is beloved and don’t let any ‘Christian’ tell you otherwise
Listening for the past 2 years and it still gives me goosebumps
NoahFinnce I love your videos and seeing this comment makes me so happy
NOAAAH
I wanted to like your comment-but there's 420. Nope.
5 years here.
Damn when I decided to scroll through the comment section of probably my favorite musical performance ever I was not expecting to see someone I'm subbed to. Hi a few years later Noah
theres so much happiness and acceptance in this video, i was grinning the whole way through :) people who say miley is "a bad role model" can kiss my ass.

Man, this is mixed insanely well. The song just sounds great from an audio perspective.
I appreciate this comment.
Jesus, a youtube comment section not filled with toxic transphobia, this is nice :)
Ikr it's amazing
Yes, it's amazing.
Unfortunately there are a couple shitty comments, but it's still overwhelmingly positive and supportive. It's nice :)
miley taught her fans well
Hahha. Made up words..no such thing..
The fact Miley was supportive of transgender folks long before it became a mainstream issue is telling. She's a great soul
laura is the true definition of punk, she doesn’t care what you think about her, she is herself, and i truly think that’s what punk is all about.
This is the video that first introduced me to Laura Jane Grace/Against Me! and there is 0 turning back. Her and her band are honestly so fantastic.
have you seen the npr tiny desk concert video?
Laura is genuinely one of the best songwriters of the modern era, not to mention vocalists.
I love how Miley looks at Laura, smiling. I feel like she can feel the soul in this song and it just makes me happy
Like pretty much the rest of my generation I was like "why did she do this to herself" but from these videos you can see she's more happy in her skin than she's ever been. That's really what's important.
I was never like that... and people I know as well, never thought that. We understood everything.

There's nothing to judge. It's not a choice.
The anthem for our community. Thank you Laura Jane Grace for expressing it so eloquently.

I love this im trans and if she is singing and is trans it shows theres feeling behind it well done love it the song explains our lifes.
You should listen to her band's album Transgender Dysphoria Blues, I think you'll like it!

And Laura is honestly such a role model
Agree with you tbh i like that times are changing and videos like this open up ppls minds to what else is out there but yet were all one race Human.
Laura Jane Grace is an icon, one of the most important people in rock music in the last 25 years.
Laura's voice is literally liquid gold!!!❤️❤️❤️ This song is on repeat!

I see the 41% trans suicide statistic often cited as a reason why transitioning is bad for someone suffering from gender dysphoria, but the same study that gave us that 41% statistic goes on to say that that percentage drops drastically when trans people are in an environment that at least isn’t hostile toward their very existence. I wish people would realize that.
God bless.
Thank you for this, five years later. If you listen to the original version of this song it doesn't sound quite as upbeat, but I think this has that happier sound because it's acoustic and has Miley in it.
But the singing in it has such a deep pain to it. I'm trans, the "who's gonna take you home tonight?" line just resonates so deeply and painfully in my heart. It's anger, it's hope and hopelessness, it's longing. I listen to this song over and over and it just never loses it's punch. The song just comes from so deep in the soul.
Oh, what a pretty woman, I like her tattoos, can’t wait to see how-*she starts singing*-HOLY WHOA OK WHOA I JUST WOW THIS IS JUST YES HELL YES
Watchung her play live is even more groundbreaking.
Laura is glowing! It's beautiful to watch!

The sheer pure joy on Laura's face as she sang this song feeling truly her own self, warms my soul. All love. 🙏😎✌
It's 2020 and I'm still here.
Miley will be my queen for ever
she is such a good singer!!!! so much soul and grit in her voice! awesome! and i love miley too! soon glad for these backyard sessions!
I literally haven't stopped listening to this when I can! Its my favourite of them all!
Is Miley doing a new album?
I really hope so. She seems to have evolved so much in a short space of time.
Songs like this and the other Joan Jett ones are great but I'm still waiting for Ariana Grande!!
Love you Miley!!!
JackJames2612 Yep she has been writing and recording it with her producer Mike Will :) It is almost done apparently and they have posted many photos of them working on it in the past few months. Im sooo excited
Heather Gunn Hopefully we'll get the first single from the new album this summer ❤
JackJames2612 Her & Wayne Coyne have recorded a 7 track album together. Their is no release date, but they said its coming soon. And she has recorded her own album but has said she doesnt intend on having it out this year. She wants it to supress Bangerz and she knows that will take time. I CANT WAIT EITHER!
This makes me indescribably happy cuz I absolutely adore both of them and it makes me so happy to see them together.
bueno
Two excellent voices. I'd never heard of Laura, so my world expands.
Her band Against me is just ....Pure awesomeness
This is the best version of this song, wish it was on spotify
Laura has such an incredible, powerful voice. I am so obsessed with her.
Elvis shirt.... Charity event..... Rock n' roll..... Are you sure you dont like Miley????
Still such a relevant song, thank you for making this version!
Miley, you make me happy. All through your life, you've had wonderful comments. This one isn't much different, but human to human... I am glad you're feeling good about what you're doing.
You are good!
This gives me chills. It's absolutely mesmerizing.
First time I've actually seen Laura, nobody told me she was so pretty OMG 😍
Idk man Laura just seems so happy and filled with passion and I'm so happy for her I love her
I got the opportunity to see Against Me! In 2004 at a small venue just before searching for a former clarify released. It's one of my favorite shows I've been to, and searching for a former clarity is my favorite album of all time. Against Me! no longer exists in that capacity and that saddens me, but it's also okay.
This. This is so beautiful and God I love both of these wonderfull women and I may have cryed just a little, this is perfection.
ahhhh i love laura so much!!!! they performed this song when i saw them, and it was so emotional. laura kept telling us how much she appreciated us and that we're loved. her voice is so raw and everything she does just seems to be so natural. i appreciate all her work too!!!
Who would have thought I would become a Miley Cyrus fan! Wow the backyard sessions are great. This is a fav
Wow! Never heard of Laura before! Incredible voice and message!
Is people like her or Miley, the ones that society are not used to that make the difference and start the change.
I have listen that song more than 10 times and i always want to watch all the time...
I LOVE the way Miley Cyrus dances and sings along
That fact that I'm just now finding this is mind boggling...
Miley, in addition to being so sweet and special, has a sense of true freedom about the integrity of each person's identity.
I love u so much, miley! Since 2008, and I'm never leaving you.
all of sudden i like Miley Cyrus
true thing.
same here!! ahahahhaha
Dude same!!!!
I have so much respect for Miley, honestly love her so much, she's a huge inspiration.
I think around this time is where Laura Jane enter her post-punk life. Punk is very much a deconstruction and what is built out of the wreckage of that can hit in a way that is much more refined but still raw.
It seems to be hard to hit the stage of post punk laura has gotten to, too many times you see punk legends lose their way with the ideology before they disband, or they just drop off the face of the earth. Its really nice to see somebody who rocked that hard in Against Me! and still make music while also not feeling like theyre ashamed/ruining their past work
Some days a girl just needs this to start the day
So...I was never a fan lol until........
"Karen Dont Be Sad" on SNL one night while cleaning house I hear this song and immediately go to my tv to see who's singing. I was blown away.
"Malibu" and The Backyard Sessions OMG. Mylie you're so very unique. "No More Tears To Cry".Wow!!!!!
You have real, true talent and I love how far you've come. You sing whatever you want theres no certain genre. And I LOVE that. And then when I heard of you helping homeless kids etc..wow!
THANK YOU.💜
WOW, LJG hella rocks this with Miley Cyrus. I love True Trans Soul Rebel, because I am one and proud of it!!
Laura Jane Grace is so fucking Beautiful.
SO. FUCKING. BEAUTIFUL.
SoBeautiful.
who is it? singer?
sooo True
Yeah, that's right. Says me.
The ugly fat chick.
she's the woman of my dreams tbh
They're all perfect
I love the way that Laura Jane and Miley grin at each other throughout this song. It's so cute, you can tell that they really respect each other and are friends. Miley's a badass.
Absolutely love this and Laura and Miley ❤️🙌 godbless u both . Laura we stand behind you today and forever your strength 💪 lifts many others up.....
Listening to this in 2021 on Trans Day of Visibility... through their music, Laura Jane Grace and Miley Cyrus have both truly helped me get me this far in life as a trans person, and this performance makes me feel euphoric - sending so much love to other trans folks finding solace here
I've been listening to this all day yesterday and I just woke up and had to hear it again..
Think these two artists have very much in common with each other. Both made changes in their life that they needed and in a way, you can see it when they preform here and how they look eachother, because they Kinda understand what the other one is going through. It is very encouraging to see people standing up for the right thing, because being true to yourself is the only true liberty you have in your life.
listening in 2021 and these backyard performances are still amazing
I love how Laura is so freaking beautiful and just so female and then there's this shocking strong male voice. It's absolutely amazing, I love it so much
LJG's voice is always the best ♡♡
She's a female so her voice is female.. It's just deeper and different!
Just transgender guys...
Nina K She's a woman.
Don't be an idiot He was born male with male genes what's so shocking about his voice? More like his gender confusion is.
Miley is about the most real and honest artist in current times...she’s beyond her years but lives her youth. Awesome role model for girls and guys
0:21 If i was Miley my knickers would have just legit fell off of their own accord. I can't with that smiiiiiiiiiiile!!!
Okay so I have never been a Miley fan in any way, I don't like her acting or mainstream music just as much as many people dont. But seeing these backyard sessions etc.. I have nothing but respect for her and her talent. She is an incredible artist and I want to say thank you for representing this community and using your talent to help people :)
I never thought I'd see/hear Miley Cyrus collaborate on an Against Me! song... But this is pretty sweet!
What voice Laura has very very good👍
First time ever listening to Laura, I'm a fan 😍😍😍
Such an amazing song and band, I never really understood why someone would transition but after hearing Laura’s story and evolution quite honestly, I can truly understand why someone would!
Just seeing the joy on their faces makes me smile! LOVE this version ! #happyhippiepresents
Trans masc and I loved Miley so much and against me so much in my youth and teenage years and at 24 years old this means just as much to me as when it came out, if not more. I just didn't know why it was so important at 15/16 and I know now. Thank you so much Laura
These backyard sessions make me so happy :)
Trans vocal... In a song with passion... That's what I call great combo! Different and inspiring
Im really glad this video made me discover Laura Jane. There's something about her voice that reminds me a bit of Freddie Mercury for some reason. Its beautiful! I'll be honest. I originally did not like Miley. Untill the original three backyard session tracks came out with Lilac Wine and Jolene and Look what thei've done to my song. I showed it to my mom and we were both like. She should do more things like that! And then she came out with the Happy Hippy foundation and more backyard sessions both of which make me respect her so much. I've always been a huge gay and trans rights advocate.
Beem a a fan of Miley since Disney days, love these videos so much. Now also a huge fan of Laura Jane and her band too!!
I have loved you since I was little and i will continue to love you, you are so inspiring and I'm so thankful for all the amazing things you are doing for the lgbt community it really touches my heart, no matter what people say about you there is no denying you are a kind loving person and I'm thankful to have an idol like you :)
The more I listen to this song ,The more I like it.Awesome duet!!
As others have said I cannot state enough how much I love the fact Miley let them do there stuff. I'm a metal fan so other than what's in the press I don't know Miley stuff at all
Beautiful. It makes me so happy to see Miley doing this. I've never been a great fan of her work, but for sure she is very talented and blessed with an amazing voice. Everyone should stop judging her and learn a little bit from her. I admire her for what she's using her power for: helping the LGBT collective and the homeless youth. She looks so happy singing about that topic and helping change the world that it makes me happy too. Also, Laura Jane is an amazing human and her voice made me shiver. Love these sessions.
