2024 and these backyard sessions are still everything. RIP Melanie Safka.
holly shit i did'nt know she passed away.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@oliviermartire6176 holy shit here also
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?
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)
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 💜

I WISH MILEY WOULD DO A COUNTRY ALBUM. HER "COUNTRY" VOICE IS AMAZING
Love me some Miley and Melanie singing together!! Rest in Peace, Melanie. We will always remember you.
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?
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'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 ❤
Absolutely beautiful. Two extremely talented women and now one of them gone too soon.
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.
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)
Class act. Media never shows this side of this beautiful lady
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.
I don't know of anyone who can collaborate with legends of music so effortlessly as Miley Cyrus can.
1132jack lady Gaga x
@@kirastrikes8773 no
@@kirastrikes8773 i love gaga, but she never collab, her hits are her own singles.
@@jacoboarbelaez1746 lady Gaga ft Tony Bennet, lady is a tramp. Enough said
@@jacoboarbelaez1746 Tony benett???????
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
RIP Melanie. A Great Singer
Im 61 and could live in her backyard. Love Miley. ❤
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!
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!! :)
RIP Melanie. Damnit.
Nice to see this, I'm her old Soundguy from the 70's. She's still got the Pipes :)
Miley's voice is a real gift
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?
Rest In Peace Melanie.😪
RIP Melanie, sing with the angels
Absolutely
She is doing that.
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
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
Miley always seems her happiest doing these. She sang without baggage then.
Melanie is life. This is the duo I needed. Brand new key next!
❤ lay down next by melanie and miley
Nothing speaks 'The Backyard Sessions' without this song!
I'm glad she sang this with Melanie
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
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.
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.
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! ♥♥♥
you can tell Miley feel that song in her soul
After 3 years she sing it again and better. I love her so much.
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
You can just tell they are actually enjoying the music.
What a great song. Miley can sing anything and maintain the integrity of the song. Seeing her sing with Melanie gave me chills.
I find myself coming back to this video frequently. The vocal chemistry between Miley and Melanie gives me chills every time!
I'm IN LOVE with the way she sings "ma"
😍
You should listen to her her ya in don't dream ist over
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
Love this side of Miley. She seems so happy and carefree. Beautiful
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....
I'm crying because I'm so happy to see how far Miley has come. SMILERS ARE PROUD OF YOU MILES xxxx
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
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 .
RIP Melanie, we love U
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 😍
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
For making Melanie smile, I'll give you a like Miley.
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
If she'd do a country album my life would be complete
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
Miley has one of my favorite voices and is highly underrated I think ❤
Miley has the most beautiful voice
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.
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
Holy shit Miles can knock the notes out the park 👍👍
that hannah montana laugh at the end >>>>>
haha i adore miley ! such a beautiful & talented young woman
i think god just touched my ears
If people are buying tears I'm going to be rich some day ma. that hits hard
I love every second of this, from "Puppies SH" to "That was badass" and I never get tired of it thanks Miley...
Wow this is where she shines
She has a voice built for country.
2023 and still here for it
I’m really thankful to Miley for introducing me into Melanie’s music world
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
Omg omg I can't believe it !! It's Miley omg
Omg right I love her
um wtf? ^
um k den
Rest in peace Melanie, our happy hippie friends are so proud of you, we're gonna stay here sharing your light 🙌🏾✨️☀️
Miley is the only one that can make me happy in this time of pandemic 🥺🥺❤️❤️
I hope Miley knows that she could have the entire music industry by the palm of her hands if she became this kind of artist.
I luv the way Miley looks now 😄. She seems happy again...
2021 and Miley's Backyard Sessions are still EVERYTHING
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
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
whos here before Backyard Sessions 3.0 OMG!! So excited. Queen will slay again. 🤩💞
I love this woman so much, she's so understanding, bold and loving such a beautiful person. 🥺🥺💖💖
Best song she ever made since she came back
Finally! the backyard sessions are back 😍😍
2024 and still loving Miley's backyard sessions.
Miley Cyrus finally grows up with this song. Hated everything she did before, love the way she sings this. Fair play, she has a voice!
i knew i needed some miley in my life today.
MILEYYYYY!!! YOU SANG GIRLL!!!
right?!
RIP Melanie You were much loved and will be missed by many. 1-24-24😢
Huge Melanie fan here. Dad loved her so cannot recall Melanie not playing in the background of my life. Dad is gone now and I'm a dinosaur, but anyway-- Miley must have redeemed herself by this point because I found this pairing intriguing instead of scary. How FUN this was to watch!! No. I never really paid much attention to Miley's voice and I realize it is nothing new to folks out there- but what a voice! Don't recall Melanie's version being so country but the country spin fit very well here.
This should be on Spotify
-_-
Its on soundcloud 😋 soundcloud.com/dannyh424/miley-cyrus-look-what-theyve
Her voice is so different from when she first covered this song
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!!!!
2023 and Miley's backyard sessão are STILL everything
her hair looks so cute!
