"Everyone has the right to love each other
and no one should feel discriminated or judged for that."
This is not a joke. I am seriously posting about a Miley Cyrus song.
Here's the situation: before today, I owned none of Miley's music but I could tolerate Party in the U.S.A. just as much as the next person.... but today I got curious. So I listened to all of the samples of the songs on her new album and kind of liked the anthemic/inspirational/leona-lewis-meets-faith-hill-meets-end-credits-to-a-disney-channel-movie feel of My Heart Beats for Love.
And then I found out she wrote the song for her gay friends who should be allowed to love whoever they want. and that's when I knew I made the right choice in my first miley cyrus song to ever post/purchase.
Miley had a very touching and open-minded moment Monday night that we should all recognize. At her performance at the House of Blues L.A., she performed a song off her new album titled, "My Heart Beats for Love". "I wrote this for my gay fans," Miley said. "Everyone has the right to love each other and no one should feel discriminated or judged for that."
I thought it was awesome and inspiring that she said this. Miley Cyrus is a role model to a lot of kids and it's important they get this message at an early age. Teenagers and tweens harassing each other is no joke. Think of the horrible news stories we've been hearing lately of kids committing suicide because they've been harassed! Hopefully her fans hearing about this message will become more tolerant of gay people than they already were.
Props to you, Miley. Who knows, maybe you'll be the next Liza. The LGBT community salutes your valiant efforts to promote equality. Now stop dressing like a baby prostitute and I'm sure you'll make an even bigger difference. (Said with respect.)
Lyrics
I've been stranded on a lonely street
Got lost in the shadows
Fell hard in the battle
The choirs and the suffering
I walked through the darkness
Left broken and heartless
I'm calling out, can you hear my voice?
I'm gonna find you through all the noise
Ooh whoa
You know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
So shine your light as I reach for you
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and
It runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
Whoa ooh oh oh oh yeah
And I've been told at least a thousand times
It's not worth the struggle, the hurt or the trouble
I keep running up to these front lights
No I won't surrender
I'll wait here forever
Standing here with my flag held high
Oh can't you see that it's worth the fight?
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and
It runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
Whoa ooh oh oh oh yeah
I'm not to cross this battle field
I'm screaming out, can you hear me now?
I'm holding on, I stand my ground
I'm screaming out, can you hear me now?
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and
It runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and
It runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
Whoa ooh oh oh yeah
