Music Prompt #12: Miley Cyrus – “Malibu” #amwriting #musicchallenge

I have always loved the tone of Miley Cyrus’s voice. She has an extremely unique sound, in my opinion. Even when she was in her “crazy” twirking stage her music was always sung well. I’m so excited she is back to singing as she did before that time even though I never minded her pop music. Maybe not her music as far back as “Hannah Montana” but when she started singing country/pop hits before twirking. 

“Malibu” I think is the beginning of some of her best music so I hope you enjoy the song and aren’t turned off the self-image even Miley admits, now, was way out there. Plus, she is the lucky lady of the gorgeous Liam Hemsworth.

“Miley Ray Cyrus is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. After playing minor roles in the television series Doc and the film Big Fish in her childhood, she became a teen idol starring as the character Miley Stewart in the series Hannah Montana in 2006. 

She subsequently signed a recording contract with Hollywood Records, and her debut studio album Meet Miley Cyrus (2007) was certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). She released her second album Breakout and launched her film career as a voice actress in the animated film Bolt in 2008. 

In 2010, she released her third album Can’t Be Tamed, which stands as the lowest-selling record of her career, and starred in the coming-of-age film The Last Song. Her sexually explicit behavior generated widespread controversy while promoting her fourth album Bangerz (2013), her first under her recording contract with RCA Records. 

Cyrus’ s independently-released fifth studio album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (2015) deviated from her traditional pop style for more psychedelic experimentation. She became a coach for the singing competition series The Voice, and has been featured on the eleventh season in 2016 and the thirteenth season in 2017. Cyrus returned to a more wholesome image with her sixth studio album Younger Now in 2017 (Wikipedia.com).”

Use Miley’s song “ Malibu” as inspiration for any form of creative expression (including but not limited to short stories, poems, lyrics, artwork, photography, etc.). Alternatively, If you are a musician use this as an opportunity to showcase your own work.

Do you have a favorite place you travel to that’s especially peaceful and calming? Do you have a cabin, vacation home, RV, or favorite hotel where you feel at home to kick back and relax? Who are the people in your life who you enjoy your free time with or take vacations with? If you don’t want to share personal experiences you can write a story poem, etc, on this theme.

“Malibu” – Miley Cyrus Lyrics

*****

TryI never came to the beach or stood by the ocean

I never sat by the shore under the sun with my feet in the sand

But you brought me here and I’m happy that you did

‘Cause now I’m as free as birds catching the wind

*****

I always thought I would sink, so I never swam

I never went boatin’, don’t get how they are floatin’

And sometimes I get so scared

Of what I can’t understand

*****

But here I am

Next to you

The sky’s more blue

In Malibu

Next to you

In Malibu

Next to you, baby

*****

We watched the sun go down as we were walking

I’d spend the rest of my life just standing here talking

You would explain the current as I just smile

Hoping that you’ll stay the same and nothing will change

And it’ll be us just for a while

Do they even exist?

That’s when I make the wish

To swim away with the fish

*****

Is it supposed to be this hot all summer long?

I never would’ve believed you

If three years ago you told me

I’d be here writing this song

*****

But here I am

Next to you

The sky’s so blue

In Malibu

Next to you

In Malibu

Next to you, baby

*****

Next to you

The sky’s so blue

In Malibu, baby

Next to you

*****

We are just like the waves that flow back and forth

Sometimes I feel like I’m drowning and you’re there to save me

And I wanna thank you with all of my heart

It’s a brand new start

A dream come true

In Malibu

*****
