Song Description:
“The Climb” is a song performed by American recording artist and actress Miley Cyrus, for the 2009 film Hannah Montana: The Movie. The song was written by Jessi Alexander and Jon Mabe, and produced by John Shanks. It was released on March 5, 2009, as the lead single of the film’s soundtrack by Walt Disney Records. The song is a power ballad with lyrics that describe life as a difficult but rewarding journey. It is styled as a country pop ballad, and was Cyrus’ first solo song to be released to country radio. The instrumentation includes piano, guitar and violins.
“The Climb” was generally well received by critics and was nominated for the Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media at the 52nd Grammy Awards. However, the song was withdrawn from consideration by Walt Disney Records because it had not been written specifically for a movie as the category’s eligibility rules required. The song achieved worldwide success and became a top ten hit on charts in Australia, Canada, Norway and the United States. In the United States, the song peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the eighth best selling digital single of 2009. Five months after its release, the single was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
The song’s accompanying music video was directed by Matthew Rolston, and depicts scenes of Cyrus climbing a mountain or singing, intercut with clips of Hannah Montana: The Movie. Cyrus promoted the song with several live performances. The first, at the Kids Inaugural: “We Are the Future” event on January 19, 2009, was the first time the song had ever been publicly heard. Cyrus also performed the song as the closing number of her Wonder World Tour.
“The Climb” has been covered by several artists and was the most popular choice of song among auditioners for the ninth season of the American singing contest, American Idol. Simon Cowell, creator of the British television talent show The X Factor, chose “The Climb” to be the debut single of the winner of the competition’s sixth series. Winner Joe McElderry’s cover, released on December 14, 2009, by Syco Music, topped the Irish Singles Chart and the UK Singles Chart.
Lyrics:
I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there’s a voice inside my head saying
“You’ll never reach it”
Every step I’m taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
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
Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
The struggles I’m facing
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
‘Cause 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
Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb, yeah!
There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody’s gonna have to lose
Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb, yeah!
Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It’s all about, it’s all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

Ok, so instead of wasting my days like I usually do, I figured I’d make something in tribute to one of the most talented musicians I’ve heard from in a while. You guys know the style I’m into, and this is a little different. Good different. and different is good. Anyway, the song took about a day, the video about a day. So…. enjoy! oh, and Happy Valentine’s Day.

[ryan]
the last time i was kissed hasn’t been since
i felt the rain on my lips and my fingertips
you know you stole a glance, you could boast romance
with your wings that’ll span most the coast and land
so when i hold your hand it’s cause it all began
when your warm heart gave start to this frozen man
like ice on the shore that is soaked in sand
we could stand on the ocean where we both could dance
for two weeks, and we believe that was never enough
we’re veterans, tough, kids say they’re forever in love
we both know reality ain’t always actuality
it’s mostly calamity and a little of vanity
and yet, perfection has it’s own section
in half of your heart, and we could laugh for a start
and after we crash and we land from the stars
my heart’s not as strong solo as both of ours
singing…
[kina]
Welcome to the days of wariness
Where I’m feeling an echo inside my chest
I’ve a heart beating patiently along
Waiting for the other half of its song
And times have told the ways things come to light
Realizing a lack in your will to fight
Despite words crying inconsistencies
As you fall uneasily to your knees
[chorus]
No, it’s not enough
Don’t touch my hand and call it love
If you can’t hold it tight tonight
If you’re not strong enough
I’m not blind to what you’re doing here
Make me feel like I’m special, but my dear
I have seen through a weakness in your eyes
You don’t know it but you’re telling me lies
You will soon wake to see
There is no heart in anything you say to me
Thought we’d found a harmony
A perfect match of melodies
But if you listen closely now, I’ve been singing all alone
[ryan]
your eyes speak the truth while you lie to me
your violently designed mind rhymes to me
used to have faith now you’re what I never could face
became dissonant noise from treble and bass
your effortless grace is now a cumbersome waste
turned the home that i known to a troublesome place
your fingers on my skin, on the double strum are gone
i’m only as strong as what i write in your song
and we thought we are the keyboard and guitar
the sea floor and the stars, i don’t know where we are
and it’s funny we have to hold tight to let go
our tempo went from this slow to presto
so don’t touch my hand, can’t touch my soul
with our intertwined halves, i can’t trust the whole
And please ease my heart beating patiently along
waiting for the other half of her beautiful song
she said
[chorus]
No, it’s not enough
Don’t touch my hand and call it love
If you can’t hold it tight tonight
If you’re not strong enough

The theremin is an electronic musical instrument that is played completely without physical contact. It was invented in 1919 by a Russian physicist named Lev Sergeyevich Termen. If you are new to the theremin, please learn about it. The wikipedia page is a good place to begin:

About the helmet:
It was made of papier-mâché with a custom LED visor built in … post production! using Softimage XSI and Adobe After Effects! Yes, it was a visual effect! 3D modeling, manual rotoscoping, and motion tracking/motion stabilization tricks were employed to pull this off. A LED array with animated text was projected on to a manually rotoscoped 3D visor, that was subsequently composited with the original footage using motion trackers in After Effects. The helmet itself took three days to make. I used 7 layers of card stock/normal stock paper strips in a special heavy mix paste recipe. The shape was built around a custom mold of shipping foam and gaffers tape. It was finished off with gunmetal grey paint. The visor was made of plastic cut from a microwave oven splash cover I found at Target for 5 dollars, laminated on both sides with Limo dark auto window tinting. I could see out, but the translucent plastic from the microwave splash cover along with the heavy tinting made it a little bit difficult. On the inside, the helmet was padded with custom cut felt blocks to fit my head size perfectly. The total weight was around 0.5 Kg (about 1 pound).
This video was made for love. Please share it.
