subject: The Climb Lyrics—What Hannah Montana Teaches Us [print this page] The Climb LyricsWhat Hannah Montana Teaches Us
Are "The Climb" lyrics educational? All right, chances are, if you're over the age of 17 Hannah Montana can't really teach you anything about life. The song is an inspirational country-ballad experiment, backed by Disney, and created for the Hannah Montana movie. However, there is plenty to love about this inspirational song by Jessi Alexander and Jon Mabe and performed by Miley Cyrus.
The Climb has been covered by other musicians and was also featured prominently at reality talent shows like "American Idol" and "The X Factor" with Simon Cowell. It's hard to separate The Climb from all things girly, but if you examine the lyrics, it's actually quite an inspirational song full of truth, reality and human ambition. It has a distinctive country music quality in the lyrics, even though the music mixes ballad and country styles.
Hanna Montana or not, the industry just loves The Climb lyrics! Its appearances on numerous reality shows and its popularity among other covering artists are proof of its acceptance as a legitimate and smart composition. Critics were also quite receptive to Miley Cyrus' vocals (though the same can't be said about her acting) and described her work as "one of the year's strongest ballads," (Billboard Magazine) and a "pretty liberation anthem," (The Boston Globe). AllMusic went so far as to compare Miley to a younger Shania Twain, and described the song as a "natural" hit.
The Climb lyrics are especially gripping, considering the reality of Miley Cyrus' lifeher challenges and setbacks that have been scrutinized by the media. As the song goes, "There's always gonna be another mountain, I'm always gonna wanna make it move, Always gonna be a uphill battle, Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose."
Cyrus has certainly taken her tumble down the mountain in the last couple of years with her troubled relationships, her provocative Internet postings (and leaked footage) and her fondness for teenage shenanigans. However, she has remained atop the dance-pop music movement, still has the support of Disney, and is actually using the controversy to her advantage, with her new risqu album "Can't Be Tamed." Cyrus is truly winning her battle and surviving the journey. Forbes Magazine continues to rank her as one of the most powerful and important celebrities on the top 100. In fact, she ranked #13 in 2010, beating Angelina Jolie, Rush Limbaugh and Steven Spielberg. (But don't take the list too seriouslyDr. Phil even beat Steven Spielberg)
Why not listen to Miley Cyrus's The Climb lyrics right now? She is the "It Girl" of the music world and her empire only grows bigger as she ages.
