[@hailmaary8616]

This is exactly how I interpreted her album. One song she was saying she didn’t care anymore and a few songs later she would say she thought about him. I could tell the songs were written in moments of emotion over time. I love her

[@vbvermont]

It surprises me when fans or even interviewers assume that songs are autobiographical. Sure, the artist needs to connect to something creatively, but I bet it’s fun to play with the lyrics or go a bit dark with something that might not have been particularly heavy. It’s ART.

[@bmac7495]

Always loved her voice. This firefly analogy really hit me. She is an artist for sure.

[@AboutRAF]

Miley literally transformed to Gossip Girl’s Jenny Humphrey lol

[@kvnwoods]

😂😂😂😂

[@Izycaspel]

🤣🤣

[@scottwasson]

No, not literally.

[@dianalimuco]

Pretty Reckless and Miley collab please.

[@victordsilalahi]

Lol except the voice tho

[@manzwatson9146]

Howard tryna get her to trash talk Liam but she’s not having it. Lol. 👑

[@teetoys76]

Didn’t hear that at all btw . 😒

[@ambzerambzer8800]

Lol this is kinda true, I was thinking it. The way he was like “You’re giving this guy too much by writing about him” As if Liam did something bad, when he didn’t it was Miley who kept going back to him, and sometimes a relationship just doesn’t work but it doesn’t mean there’s major animosity there

[@Shawna2891]

Yet every article in the media portrays her like she is still regretting her divorce & still bitter !

[@lyndonjohnson5449]

She articulated that thought fantastically.

[@JoeHuman]

Just wanna say, Miley articulated the songwriting process better than any instructor or writer I've ever heard. I would add that the mason jar is on record so if those thoughts and feelings should come up again, you know how to identify them. That's why we go back to certain songs when we feel certain ways. Ya.. I've studied songwriting longer than she's been alive and she hit the nail right on the head.

[@seatangerine]

Do you have tips for someone that wants to start writing songs?

[@dianadias3]

I`ve been interested in songwriting for a while, but I guess when I would get back to what I had written, it just wouldn`t feel good or right.. I guess song writing is capturing a moment, that`s so cool!!

[@karolinak7140]

Do you think that we should only write about ourselves? I mean that’s what she’s said that she does but a lot of songwriters write stories into their lyrics, about life they didn’t live, about characters basically

[@esm3monroy]

He misunderstood. It’s definitely about Liam, but she doesn’t always feel that way towards him. Her feelings change and for a sec she acts tough and like she’s moved on, but like she said, she’s got her moments of weakness too.

[@crystalm4324]

...agreed - but I’m still like - they divorced??? When? Where was I? Oh - stuck in my house.

[@joy4156]

Yeah, I think he focused more on getting her to say something “juicy” that people typically like to hear. She handled it fantastically though.

[@stivaro]

As someone twice divorced, I get where she's coming from. I do NOT want to be with my exes ever again. I don't wish them ill will and I want the best for them and even think of them from time-to-time in a positive way. But you do move on. Just because you talk about something from the past, doesn't mean that you are still enamored with it. We are the lump sum of our life and choices.

[@emcalifornia22]

Same! That's maturity! :)

[@IvySnowFillyVideos]

Well said

[@belovedholiday5700]

Well said!

[@Jayy_sad]

If you have a new partner you should not be dwelling or obsessed with your ex . That’s not okay or fair for the other person .

[@Ash-vw4yt]

@jena jay what if you are widowed and get re married?

[@anormalperson1851]

Miley is extremely wise beyond her years, and she’s incredibly talented.

[@LL-wu5ui]

It happens when you've been through a lot.

[@davidfischer1971]

28 is old enough to be able to have figured out how the world works, it's no miracle to be able to express yourself in a good way at that age

[@ireneaustin8330]

Really

[@lilaterr90]

That is so true about writing in general! “ it doesn’t have to be you every second of the day “

[@davidmorris8319]

Maybe that's a weird connection to make, but i think that's what's stopping Lady Gaga right now. She takes herself and Chromatica way too serious... Which is why i think she's only performed ONCE on the entire era while Miley is really putting herself out there.

[@Elena-Studio]

This woman literally is all I want to be. Her strength and resilience and "fuck you" attitude is all I want to live for

[@Digi_Danny]

I like the way she talks she’s very intelligent and she explains herself very well.

[@crystala7x182]

I agree. I think it comes from the Disney media training that the big Disney Channel stars all had to go through. She’s been famous for so long now and had to do countless of interviews. I can’t even imagine that kind of lifestyle lol.

[@soukainamachrik8554]

She reads a lot of books

[@irissupercoolsy]

because she is smart

[@sohaildaukar]

I like this comment bro👍❤️

[@hoepurbo3332]

First reply cuz 1.1k people was too dumb to write 💀💀😂😂

[@pearl6786]

It's funny bc people perceive Miley as acting immature or behaving childish but seeing her talk and engage it's very clear how wise and mature she actually is She understands herself more than most people understand themselves I'm happy for Miley

[@shiannaaa]

"When we plan, life kind of laughs in our face and says this is what is really going to happen". Her energy is contagious and finding myself drawing it more now than ever here in 2020! Yes Miley! xx

[@andrewherbert8125]

She makes me feel like a strong independent woman, and I am a man

[@IdonthaveatwittersoFoff.]

You go guyal 👊😎

[@dianamarie1652]

hahahahahahahahaha

[@saltNpepper952]

😂😂😂

[@Blue1479758]

No you're not brother. No offense, but you're far from it

[@Prince_the_One]

Heard this before

[@neville2308]

I totally get what she means. In the moment when she was throwing shade and saying “I don’t even miss you at all” about Liam, she was angry. She didn’t miss him because she was pissed off. Time heals all wounds and I’m sure in a WAY she misses him, occasionally. She writes when she feels strongly and there’s power in that. But we don’t feel super strongly about things forever or all the time.

[@fridalinneabengtsson]

The way she reflects on her songwriting is so spot on, that's what all people who deals with writing music does: it's therapy. Part of therapy is going through the motions, all of them very different parts of you and your "identity". One person isn't just one thing. You're not defined by your feelings and actions alone, because they are fleeting, although they are a part of a whole. That's what's so frustrating sometimes, when people tend to hold a song you wrote years ago or maybe even last week, against you or make their minds up about who you are, what the relationship is between you and the person you write about, based on that specific song. Life, humanity, personality, feelings and circumstance are forever evolving.

[@amaliatavella7299]

there's just something about the word fleeting. Loved the way you described not only songwriting, but therapy in general

[@lodash5963]

I wonder how her voice would sound when she is 50 or just 10 years from now.

[@Frandaman84]

Probably the same

[@jesusantaya202]

A Dolly Parton

[@zulfansiregar1203]

Would Sound like etta james maybe

[@Starlightmystique]

Ikr!

[@bethel4348]

Love it when i hear deep female voices. I have a deep voice too(a lot lighter than miley tho), and sometimes i get insecure about it but hearing this kind of voices encourages me to not be ashamed of it.

[@alphajava761]

I really love the way she describes the creative process. You only have a moment or window to capture something and then it's gone. It can come back to you sometimes but it doesn't have the touch, the fire it had before for some reason. As a painter and sculptor I feel like that every day.

[@Oliviaa9632]

I could listen to her whole day. Fascinating, smart and articulated.

[@SayiPh]

so easy to understand yet so many people blame her and so many haters go against her without even taking a second to comprehend that as humans we are in many ways, just emotions.

[@mariekederoose7223]

Wish people would respect her a little more..

[@lmzn500]

Love how she explained her songwriting process, I work in the music industry too and when I’m writing my own songs, I definitely relate to that. It’s the moment and feeling you have or wanna catch that you wanna translate into words and it doesn’t necessarily mean you feel it ALL the time. Writing is also therapeutic (at least for me). Very nicely said ☺️

[@persephonemaeve2704]

She’s maturing into an absolute legend

[@ItsTheGLife]

Love how she used catching fireflies when she was little as a metaphor for her songwriting process DAMNN MILEY IS A STRONG CREATIVE AND WITTY WOMAN

[@darwinstmichael]

she just keeps reinventing herself, its so compelling. im already ready to see what she does next!

[@ele9875]

What i love ab her the most is that she always releases songs that actually represents her emotional state at that time. It's always authentic and relevant for her and that's why it comes across really genuine and raw

[@normagruden]

A few years ago I would have never thought I would see her go so rock n roll, I always hoped for it, but didn't think I'd get it. Look at that outfit man I love it :)

[@eyoelbeyene7798]

Right!!!!

[@adadain570]

Her music has so much more raw energy. I feel the emotion and her strong presence in each of her new songs. She is blossoming

[@ronniecoon3714]

I don't see any other singers taking their time to do all these shows Miley has been doing during the pandemic! I've lost alot of hope in these times! And Miley singing and entertaining us, bitch should be winning the awards!!!! THANK YOU MILEY CYRUS ❤ ♥

[@renessawasserman1120]

Hell Yess!!! Miley Oughtta be winning the Awards!!

[@brandonlukas1110]

Many singers who released albums this year have done performances and interviews like Miley.

[@SC-gf9vr]

i agree

[@Melanie-jy2nw]

Well there’s BTS whose done so too but Miley’s been giving us quite a lot of content ♥️

[@jawharanassereldine6231]

I love how she is not disrespecting her ex in order to have a media moment! Well, you had your magical true moment young lady 😍 how sweet and transparent her feelings, we all can relate I think 😊

[@wallswalls2882]

She deserves so much more than she already has. She's an absolute top notch singer and songwriter.

[@rosey_josh]

So well expressed. Detailed, articulate and vulnerable. 👏🏼

[@marialuisamontanez6735]

I don't get tired of her interviews cuz she is fascinating to listen to. She puts all her songs in perspective and is honest about them. WTG Miley

[@alexandrag.5627]

Great she explained it because Prisoner also seems to be about Liam and her attitude is totally different there.

[@user-xd8cd2pd7t]

That firefly example explain everything very well. She knows what she is doing. !!

[@matheusdemarco3559]

She is so clever! He tried a lot to say that she doesn´t make sense on her writing... but she just explained it in such a good way!

[@lorenavidal8356]

I love Miley's sincerity, she shows herself as she is and says it without reservation.

[@beyondme9369]

Wow..it is true..you don't feel the same way about someone even about yourself all day everytime..there are moments..sometimes i see myself a failure..and sometimes lkke i can do anything i want to..she so beautifully put that in words..the thoughts need not be permanent..the thoughts maybe fleeting..and that doesn't need to be one's identity..i think every one agree it has happened to them..she just put it out there..we sometimes even regret that we felt like that even for a second..but she shows that u r not alone..it is normal to have those fleeting moments..that doesn't need to define u..

[@mungofinalfi4480]

I think it's that spectra of emotions that defines you. It defines being human basically. It involves both feeling shitty and feeling great, and all the inbetweens. As long as you don't end up staying too long on the darker sides of the spectra and as long as you don't yoyo between the extremes too much I think you'll be okay.

[@MasterAkiDraw]

Way more people needs to see this comment. In my opinion, it's a very spot-on take of what Miley is saying~

[@renaudlevasseur8327]

At that moment she felt good, over him. But it doesn't mean that's what she feels all the time. Some days we are happy other sad. Some day I love doing something the next I dont even want to think about it. That's what she explains art whatever form it has capture an instant feeling, thought, émotion. Like a picture capture a moment in time it doesn't mean that it is what's happening all the time.

[@gustavonykolas4416]

this Miley voice meche with me, she is amazing both speaking and singing

[@Hansprivate]

I love her Plasmatics t-shirt!

[@haydenroach6359]

She needs to cover 4 non blondes whats up next

[@richman6947]

Duuude yessss

[@nickfisher432]

Needs to make an album with Linda Perry

[@mattjazzfan2288]

If you like that song, you really need to see The Miseducation of Cameron Post. The way they used that song was amazing

[@neville2308]

Yassss

[@emawolf2677]

@@nickfisher432 She has a song with Linda Perry called Hands of Love, go check it out :)

[@magdakorbi]

She has a great ability to express her own feelings while being in the spotlight. Listeners have identified with her love ups and downs due to Miley is a fine example of moving on while we feel like we apready burned out in something or just lost pleasure in one's existence. Go girl. I wish I could be on your last concert in Poland. 💥

[@jakobwhaleart]

Miley is doing everything to sweeten up this year for everyone as much as she can! Really *giving us the most magical pop culture escapism since 2006.*

[@innocentboyzthegreat]

She’s so articulate and smart omg

[@MikeGrahamDSM]

That firefly analogy was great actually. Accurate.

[@benalichante1269]

One of her best albums!!! Seriously!!!

[@anormalperson1851]

The album is AMAZING.

[@BelleTolles]

fascinating young woman.

[@Alineebastos]

It was very clear from her explanation that it was about him but not all the time, she felt that in a moment and wrote that song.

[@matthewsmith6189]

1:40 That was so insightful. I’m really starting to like Miley. We have all felt that way @ some point in our lives.

[@leoss79]

I really appreciate Her honesty. Love Her New style and music.

[@jasonguitarcorp3933]

I'd like to hear her do a slayer cover

[@homorockerbloguero5079]

Omg yes, she did one of Metallica and it was good

[@norcal3159]

Not me , I don’t want her to go too heavy metal. Definitely a Joan Jett and Stevie Nicks fan.

[@tyresewilliams7009]

I love the way she describes her song writing process

[@tayl2991]

Miley is a really good singer, and she has the same birthday as me! I'm 1 year younger. I'd love to meet her.

[@pinki3dt]

I love her. She has amazing talent. Smart women.

[@chloestevo]

It’s okay to be sad or feel things about something you thought you recovered from. Recovery isn’t liner !💓 well done Miley.

[@ClandestineGirl16X]

Miley has such a beautiful mind and voice. Shes just amazing

[@2poofsandaplaystation468]

I love this old 80s/glam rock style she's going for 💕

[@sarahbrennan1342]

They were together since she was 18 years of age.... so it must be hard on the both of them ❣️

[@diannaw3034]

YESSSSSS girrrl... yesssss!!! That is so honest!!!! Now that is something I can relate to Miley!! It is so true.. we go through a rollercoaster of emotions in a break up with someone we truly loved and devoted ourselves to. It only makes sense.. that we need to allow ourselves time to evolve emotionally through that healing time after!!! We may go back and forth in how we feel.. and I think that it is okay.. until our heart and mind can come to a meeting in the middle of finally get to feeling a sense of being okay.. and then truly being ready and happy to move on! People need to allow themselves that time.. and let the unsteadiness be what it is .. and not freak out.. and know you will get there! Be kind and patient with yourself.

[@akiir8382]

I never liked her that much, but her voice was always ICONIC for me.. BUT NOW this new era OMG... it's LEGENDARY!! 😍❤💦

[@LC-bw4ng]

Love her album one of my faves off it as well as prisoner and angels like you ..

[@sadoklajmi]

1:51 I loooove that she explains that so well cause a lot of people get it confused n that is exactly how I write sometimes

[@Book_Dragon2562]

Not a huge fan of Miley but I respect her not taking the bait to bash on Liam and appreciate her firefly analogy for writing.

She is a real artist. Absolutely.

[@alyals1366]

PLEASE UPLOAD MILEY'S FULL INTERVIEW FOR US FANS WHO DOESNT LIVE IN AMERICA

[@nigelcarren]

The first time I heard Miley, she was singing Wrecking Ball live on UK radio (Live lounge In think), at the end she knocked it up one octave just for kicks! That was when I declared her a great rock singer... Perhaps the greatest for her age! If she was hanging around with Chris Cornell and not Dolly Parton as a child perhaps it would be different... Who knows which sound she would have been drawn towards? She has already covered some of Cornells stuff and she shows incredible restraint... Keeps you waiting and then when you think nuts all over... down from 4th to third, floors it and the roof blows off, EXACTLY where it should! (Apologies to any Americans who have never driven a 20 year old Mazda 323 with stick-shift in England). 😉

[@teebambell5769]

You are an amazing and strong woman. I love your music, especially the rock genre now. You deserve to be in the ROCKNROLL HALL OF FAME. Your voice is Brilliant

[@70schild420]

Love Miley’s analogy of song writing❤️

[@catcat9615]

she is AMAZING

[@lofo7703]

Makes sense... Can definitely relate to that

I love her ways to promote this album....

[@storybellz]

Hair color and such aside, there is something about her energy lately that is reminding me so much of Joan Jett, it's incredible! And I'm not even talking clothes or music here... it's deeper than that... it's something in the way she talks now, the pace of her speech, the way she moves her mouth, eyes, etc. Take it from someone who some folks say should be president of Joan Jett University (if there was one), JJ and Miley are soul sisters to the very core! I'm serious!!

[@tikarizky5747]

Whoaaa.. those explanation about the lyrics! Impressive~

[@annnjogu631]
