Riff: Miley Cyrus – “Week Without You”

Oct 3, 2017

I know that I gave you my heart/But you stomped it to the ground/And that’s what’s got me wondering what it’s like/To not have you around

from Week Without You lyrics by Miley Cyrus

Vulnerable, but not submissive. Impassioned, but not psychotic. A simple, straightforward expression that doesn’t sugarcoat the best parts. She adopts a lax approach that suits her transition from sex kitten to legitimate artist. Without the blinding glare of the limelight, she’s able to take a moment to explore her true feelings, which is a welcome departure from her usual song and dance
