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.
So true. Why aren’t people playing her albums, As I See It Now, Sunset and Other Beginnings, Gather Me, Candles In The Rain Ballroom Steets. Photograph and a couple other albums as well. Most artists only have one or two classic albums. Melanie, You Rocked!!!
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.
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.
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
+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.
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, 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.
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.
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 😍
I flew into Nashville once to meet a girl (she was sassy), she put her hands on her hips and said "you're in Dixie now"!.... can never hide the talent that comes from the land of the Delta Blues!
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
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:)
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.
***** 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)
What rock have you been hiding under, kiddo? Miley Cyrus has pretty well regarded as a singer by a whole lot of people for quite a long time. You should probably get out more. 🙂
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 ❤️
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
she is so good. people say she can't sing but she can and is an amazing person and singer. she can collaborate with legends so fantastically and its good to see an amazing chemistry
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
9 years ago, i was having a really deep depression, and was listening to this great masterpiece. And i totally forgot that song now i remember and everything is crystal clear all of those memories 😢 But also i remember how this song calms me down. Everything will turn out to be great! Even if you are depressed just try to enjoy every moment. Everything will be ok. I promise you 😊
She's all soul, and that level of "feeling" can't be faked. such a great talent. she connects with all those things in life that truly matter. amazing!
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 ❤️
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.
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.
Malibu by itself reminds me of the feeling of every backyard session from 2012 to 2015 rolled into one. She looks so happy in all of these and I feel so warm watching and listening. She seems like that in the new song too. She's always seemed moved by her heart instead of her head alone so it's unbelievably nice to see her in any project. What a gift to be able and sit with yourself and find where your voice was.
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...
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.
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.
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! ♥♥♥
I got goosebumps hearing Miley Cyrus and Melanie singing together! Melanie was my favorite singer when I was little and now Miley is also my favorite singer!!!!! I always wanted to hear Melanie again and Miley made it happen!! Miley is the fken Best!!!!
Melanie has always been my favorite during the 70s. I never much cared for Miley UNTIL I heard this and the backyard sessions. She DOES have a great voice.
What an amazing pairing, Melanie who has been performing for close to 50 years and Miley. I'm happy that Melanie has had a bit of a resurgence lately she has an amazing voice.
I love when people say Miley has no talent because i just watch this and laugh at them
***** so true!

I flew into Nashville once to meet a girl (she was sassy), she put her hands on her hips and said "you're in Dixie now"!.... can never hide the talent that comes from the land of the Delta Blues!
she should just be a country singer because everytime I hear this I feel my soul dancing!

emre deniz lol you're hilarious!
I rather she sing pop , but she can do pop sometimes though (:
she was xD
agree!! :)
I'm crying because I'm so happy to see how far Miley has come. SMILERS ARE PROUD OF YOU MILES xxxx

After 3 years she sing it again and better. I love her so much.
I WISH MILEY WOULD DO A COUNTRY ALBUM. HER "COUNTRY" VOICE IS AMAZING
i'm so down for this new miley this music is really chill & just some nice feel-good music. I love it

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.
I luv the way Miley looks now 😄. She seems happy again...
9 years ago, i was having a really deep depression, and was listening to this great masterpiece. And i totally forgot that song now i remember and everything is crystal clear all of those memories 😢 But also i remember how this song calms me down. Everything will turn out to be great! Even if you are depressed just try to enjoy every moment. Everything will be ok. I promise you 😊
She's all soul, and that level of "feeling" can't be faked. such a great talent. she connects with all those things in life that truly matter. amazing!
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?
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.
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 :)
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.
This has got to be one of my favorite songs. So beautiful and I love that she sings it with Melanie in this one
I've been listening to this cover from the first backyard sessions on repeat for days, now i have an updated one ahhhhh!
Malibu by itself reminds me of the feeling of every backyard session from 2012 to 2015 rolled into one. She looks so happy in all of these and I feel so warm watching and listening. She seems like that in the new song too. She's always seemed moved by her heart instead of her head alone so it's unbelievably nice to see her in any project. What a gift to be able and sit with yourself and find where your voice was.
What a wonderful thing! I love Melanie. Thank you Ms. Cyrus for spreading the word about such a special artist.
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
I remember when she did this song as a backyard session a while ago , but it's still as gorgeous ♡
What a great version of this song , by two incredibly talented artists.
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.
that hannah montana laugh at the end >>>>>
haha i adore miley ! such a beautiful & talented young woman
A very happy birthday to you Melanie Safka! One of your loving Seattle fans!
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! ♥♥♥
Her voice in this song is so soothing !it helps with my anxiety and panic attacks🙏
Beautiful respect
I love both of these ladies. The represent some of the best old and new....
I got goosebumps hearing Miley Cyrus and Melanie singing together! Melanie was my favorite singer when I was little and now Miley is also my favorite singer!!!!! I always wanted to hear Melanie again and Miley made it happen!! Miley is the fken Best!!!!
Not everyone is grown and suffisticated enough to apriciate her for her talent.😊--Jennifer, my sons mom, Burton🎉
Miley has the most beautiful voice
Melanie has always been my favorite during the 70s. I never much cared for Miley UNTIL I heard this and the backyard sessions. She DOES have a great voice.
Is there nothing Miley cant sing, and great to see an hear the awesome Melanie, one of the true greats.
how can someone hate this beautiful human, miley's so cute and talented
What an amazing pairing, Melanie who has been performing for close to 50 years and Miley. I'm happy that Melanie has had a bit of a resurgence lately she has an amazing voice.
I love this!!! I remember when this first came out in 1970. I was just 4 years old. One of the few songs of my very early childhood that impressed me.
