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 However, the song was withdrawn from consideration by Walt Disney Records because it had not been written specifically for a movie as the category’s eligibility rules required.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

LYRICS
i hopped in the van at 6AM, with a dream and my closest friends
welcome to the land of the skinny jeans and the 15 passenger van…
Pullin into a brand new city, I met a kid in a purple deep vee, He said he used to listen to me, everybody seems so creepy. Step out the van and I’m feeling kinda homesick
Too much flourescent and I’m nervous, when the first bands takes the stage sporting Supra Shoes and some fresh tattoos & everything was autotuned!
So I put my pants on they’re a little too tight,
but I think it’s gonna be okay
I’m noddin my head like yeah,
I’m tapping my toes like yeah
It’s not a bad song, but the tracks too loud,
and the drummer doesn’t really play
yeahhhhhh it’s every band in the USA
So we hop on the stage at 9PM, & turns our amps up loud,
They’re like who’s this band playin guitar riffs, they gotta be from outta town… I’m singin’ loud but the crowd is talkin over me, this definitely ain’t a chi-town party. Everybody’s wearing neon, lookin for somebody to creep on.
We huddle up and figure out a cover we can play
I rip a cause I’m nervous. Then I turn to the crowd and ask if they wanna hear a Miley Cyrus song, a Miley Cyrus song, AND EVERYBODY SANG ALONG!
AND SO I PUT MY HANDS UP THEY’RE PLAYIN MY SONG & THE BUTTERFLY’S FLY AWAY
NODDING MY HEAD LIKE YEAH
I’m MOVIN MY HIPS LIKE YEAH
I PUT MY HAND UPS THEY’RE PLAYIN MY SONG
I KNOW I’M GONNA BE OK
YEAH IT’S A PARTY IN THE USA
Glamour Kills won’t sponsor us
& All Time Low won’t tour with us
But something keeps us on the stage,
That Miley Cyrus cover is all the rage!
I PUT MY HAND UPS THEY’RE PLAYIN MY SONG
& THE BUTTERFLIES FLY AWAY
I’M BANGING MY HEAD LIKE YEAH
PLAYIN METAL BEATS LIKE YEEAAAOOOWWW
I PUT MY HAND UPS THEY’RE PLAYIN MY SONG
I KNOW I’M GONNA BE OK
YEAH IT’S A PARTY IN THE USA
